YALE SENIORS JUBILEE
And Glass Supper Held at savin Rocl

And Glass Supper Held at Savin Rock.
A pleasant sky and cool weather
brought big crowd to Savin Rock
Saturday night Three carloads of
Yale students, with a band and plenty
of Yale noise, speeding down Chapel,
Temple and Meadow streets, induced
hundreds more to go out to the Rock
to see the celebration, for the seniors
were to hold their class supper at the
Beach house, and after that was over
the boys intended to join in the fun,
And they did Hundreds of spectators
gathered on the walk and filled the
street. The students sat in groups on
The lawn, rapidly emptying bottle after
bottle of Pilsner. Indian war dances,
the lambda Chi step and all kinds of
calls and noises, songs and capers ad-
ned to the rejoicing.
About 1890, when the crowd was mer-
nv enough anyway and Miller's Casino
crowded the students marching in pha-
lanx with part of their band, started to
enter. That was the signal for those
of the dance-hall crowd who were spoil
Ing for a fight to rush toward the APP
nroachipg students. The opposing
ranks met between Stewards restau-
rant partition and the pavilion pier.
Then the beer bottles began to fly,
some going over the partition and
smashing the tableware.
The presence of an extra detail of Of
6cers prevented serious trouble, and
nothing worse than a few broken WIN
dow panes, some torn coats and mass
of broken bottles resulted.
SAVIN ROCK CAR NOTES.
The last car to the city had some
stons that were not on the regular
schedule of the line. They occurred
whenever there was a fight and that
was not once, but often. The trailer
was full of rough and drunken men,
who came to blows over personal diff
ferences and not for any principle. In
one encounter the conductors were
roughly handled, and but for the time
w assistance of a number of students
from the front car might have Jared
much worse.
Half way up Kimberly avenue five
officers from Howard avenue station
were waiting ready to board the cars
TO preserve quiet Many complaints
have been made by citizens along the
savin Rock line about the howlings OF
the nightly jewellers. and the police
have found mere warnings insufficient.
No arrests were made. as order was
restored by the presence of the otfi-
GERS.

forty-nine OF us at present employed in
the big building on Fifth street. We
occupy two rooms, separated by the chief
adjusters office, and are called, according
to our work, first or second weighers and
light" and "hcavy" weighers. One OF
us. TOO, is known as a"scratcher," but her
business is, oddly enough, not to make
scratches, but to smooth them out.
We are all required TO be in the build
ing and ready for work before O'Clock
each morning. and must start in promptly
on the stroke of the bell. Over our street
dre ses we wear aprons and sleeves of
Holland linen, supplied and laundried at
Government expense, and when WORKING
on silver, which is very hard on the hands,
we wear thick chamois leather gloves,
which are also provided without expense
to ourselves.
Our work-benches are white marble
topped tables, which reach almost the
length of the room. When silver coinage
is going on boxes containing 1000 blanks
are placed in front of each woman, and
the contents are arranged by her III piles
OF from twenty to twenty five. These
blanks which are sent up from the cutters
look for all the world like the disks of tin
which children beg from tinshops to
.pIay money WITH except that they are
thicker.

revolving it slowly with the right, we

an instrument designed for that purpose.
From the adiusting-rooms the blanks go
to the millin groom, where the rails ed edge

they are made bright and shining. After
this they are pressed, the i'm print OH both

When the days work is over our files
and finger coverings are freed from all
dust that has adhered to them, over the
ia able-drawers which have been opened to
receive all the filings made. When en-
ployed in this work we wear leather
aprons put around our necks bib-fashion
with the lower end fastened to the drawer
before US, and these, too, are cleaned off
very particularly.
The drawer is emptieG upon the m arble
tabletop, care being taken that not n
grain is left in the corners of the zinc
covered inside. The dust is then .went
off the table into a pan and carried to the
chief adjuster's office TO be weighed with
the other work. A certain amount is al
lowed for waste dust, which is usuaIIv

and burning OF the carpets

| got the valise from the closet, rang for
the husband, and when l told him that
his wife was doing well he looked infn-
itely relieved. 1t was explained that he
was to send for me the following night.
He warmly pressed my hand and forced
some gold coins upon me.
After being blindfolded 1 was led down
to the carriage, John bringing the vaiise.
The route of the carriage was purposely
dou bled and twisted to confuse me. Just
before my rooms were reached the band
age was removed. The time was long
after midnight.
'At 10 o'clock tomorrow night, sir2"
asked John.
Yes; shall expect you then"
AT 10 the next evening 1 stood waiting
for the carriage, and l confess that was
eager to see my patient again. The min
utes passed, but the carriage did not ap-
pear. A long half-hour dragged by. At
IL began to wonder seriously. At mid
night l went up 10 my rooms sick and
wretched. At l went to bed, accusing
myself bitterly tor my shortcomings of the
night before. l concluded that the un-
happy woman, after turning the matter
over, had repenteG her selection of me
and had been humiliated by my cold re-
ceptiop of the affection which she had so
recklessly lavished upon me.
1t was then that l realized how deeply
had become attached to her and how hard
was the thought OF losing her. Her
misery, her daring scheme for escape, the
ingenuity and boldness with which she
had entrapped me in order to have me
near her and my assistance in her flight,
the shrewdness with which she had de-
| ceived all the mem bers of her household,
and her singular beauty and the match
| less witchery of charm-all came to
| me now with force and filed me with
wretchedness. Why had l not been more
of man? She had idealized me and then
! found me contemplate What would be-
come OF herP 1t was impossible for me
to find the house alone.
The next day l was i'll. Another silent
| night passed. The following day two
strangers called upon me, bringing note
of introd duction from man whom knew.
1t explained that the gentlemen were
travellers and had expressed a desire to
! know me. They were named Martin and
Fowler. Both were gent!emanly fellows,
and despite my unhappiness l exerted
my ,ef to entertain them. Mr.. Martin,

Two pans are fitted snugly in our bal
ances, one at the left to recsize the lighte
and one just at the back for the heavier
blanks. These pans when full are emp
tied into larger ones, which are carried
to the second" weighers, whose scales
are adjusted accurately to the pre-
scribed limit of weight. Blanks that are
found to be too light or too heavy, ex-
ceedlng the Government allowance for

also those which are broken or faulty

You see," continued Mrs. MIramontes,

litigation is over the boundary line OF the
two ranches. The Arguellos being the
first settlers our boundary line had to be
fixed by theirs. Now, their land ex-
tended league from the bay. After they
got an agent they claimed two leagues,
which cuts off big slice of our property.
You know. a league is a lot of land.
The two families were very friendly,
and if left to themselves would have set
tied the matter amicably. But there was

legal strife between US. although the men,

was not so. Ny mother did not believe in
spending money in that way. She would
entertain with the usual Spanish hospi-
tality, but she also saved a great deal.
But what's the difference? The lawyers
have it all, big or little.
ITO give you an instance. Soon after
my marriage the lawyer who had been do

of paper TO sign. He said il would cancel
a small de bt. He read the document 10
me, and it seemed all right. After my
signature had been attached discovered

the time We got through.
