Monster Searchlights and Geiatins
Screens to illuminate the Gorge.

Screens to illuminate the Gorge.
An experiment in lighting the gorge
OF the Niagara river. which was tried
in connection with the convention OF
electricians, Is likely to bear import
ant results and has furnished a spec
tacle of extraordinary magnificence,
says the Rochester Post and Express.
The illumination was arranged under
the personal direction of Luther Site
ringer, the man who designed and op-
Grated the Examinations and electric
fountains at the Worlds Fair. On the
platform car, between two open cars,
he took six monster electric search
lights and a number Of colored gela-
tine screens. At 10 o'clock in the even
Ing the start was made down the
their electricity from the trolley wire
n when they were directed upon the
shores and tumbling river, and the
lights in the open cars were turned off,
the scene was rarely beautiful. 1t
looked as though such (moon) Tight
as never was, on land or sea-" had
transformed the scene. But as the cars
moved on and Mr.. Stieringer changed
the screens, far more magical, wonder
full and startling effects were secured.
Now it looked as though one were see-
ing with Dante eyes, so red and fierce
was the scene, and SO darkly red the
shadowy banks between which the
river tossed waves of blood. Further
down, beneath the new steel arch
bridge, where the furious rapids were
tossing the spray fifty feet or more
in the air, red and green lights were
used. Then the plain lights were
shown again and then, where the
rapids are strongest and widest, the
red screens were used with an effect
whose w%lerdness the contrast vastly
heightened. So impressive was the
spectacle that for several minutes there
was absolute silence in the cars and
then a cheer of admiration broke out.
From that point to the end of the road
the colors were changed rapidly, with
beautiful effect, and at midnight the
party returned to the falls. 1t is said
that the success of the experiment in
sures the illumination of the gorge by
searchlights next season and that
means the addition to the attractions
of Niagara of a wonderfully thrilling
night spectacle and one which, once
seen, will not be forgotten.
Former visitors to Niagara will re-
call that when the state reservation
was private property there was for the
last season or two a successful illum-
ination of the upper rapids and Of the
falls themselves and a heightening Of
their wildness and weirdness and
beauty by a similar use of colored
member and Niagara visitors have rea-
son to congratulate themselves that
private enterprise again proposes thus
to enhance the night wonder of Mia
about natural" beauty, nature is too
prone to veil her beauty at night; and
if esthetes be shocked at an artificial
coloring of the water and find no COM
pensation for loss of naturalness in
such ~bewildering %riotousness of color
and g~rotesqueness as n can hardly
dream of, eve they must approve the
lights which make visible the natural
beauty when darkness would other
wise veil the scene.

In writing Of "The Offense of the Col

present NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. colors with
white collar, and worn with loud cravat
as an absolute offense against good
taste. MANY of the colors and combina,
tions worn in shirts by men of good re-
pute," he asserts, "have been borrowed
from the sporting element-gamblers on
the race track and followers of the prize
fight, who for long time had monopoly
of this style of wardrobe and were known
by their shirts of wonderful design, as we'll
as by their clothes of loud and large
checks Too many of our young men
consider themselves well dressed nowadays
with the lurid oolored shirt as part of their
toilet. II they could, however, see them
selves with the eyes of others, they would
very speedily como to different conclu
sion. A young man can least of all pro-
fame good taste in dress, no matter how
general foolish fad may become. He is
always being judged by some one older
than himself, and many business man
judges young mans character by his
dress. The colored shirt of violent color
or design is not the young mans friend.
1t Is his enemy. He does not impress peo-
pie with his good taste by wearing it. On
the contary, he shows the weakness in his
character of a tendency to unwise imita-
ton. The quiet, gentlemanly garb is his,
and he should adhere to it. Employers
look not for the latest styles in u young
mans dress, but for a sense of neatness
and becomingness.
"Dress checrfully. AT 90 we need not
dress as if we were 80. There is happy
medium between the black tic and the
violent cravat Of rainbow hue. That is
where good taste comes in, and young
man must exercise it. The colored shirt
is possible for him, but within limitations
The pin dot or stripe is not offensive. On
the contary, it is becoming. But brilliant
oravats, fancy waistcoats, loud and large
checks in clothes and extreme colors in
shirts are not for the young man of taste,
refinement or of future standing. Nor are
they one whit in better taste for the man
of mature years. They are offensive and
bespeak the man who affects them"

Last Wednesday evening will be a memoir
able one to the lovers of whist in the capital
city. For several weeks past the very atm os-
phere seemed strongly impregnated with
whist to every one who visited Sacramento.
The storm broke last Wednesday, and nearly
200 ladies and gentlemen took shelter in
COoper's Music Hall, and organized whist club
OF $50 members second to none in this coun-
try.
George NJ. Mott was unanimously elected
president, and John W. Lindner was chosen
as their secretary.
The Sacramento Record-Uniou OF Thursday
says:
The meeting was presided over by George NJ.
Mott. The audience was composed chiefly of
prominent society people, and all seemed to
take very warm interest in whal was said.
P. ]. Tormey, president OF the Pacific Coast
Whist ASSOCIATION and director of the Ameri-
can Whist League, was the first to address the
meeting. He, with Mr.. and Mrs George Z.
Bates, came ali the way from San Francisco to
tell their Sacramento friends what they knew
land what they did not know about the game
OF whist.
Mr.. Tormey related his experience as a
whist-player-told how he, like most PLAYERS
thought he knew all about the game until he
began 10 read authorities on the subject-and
tiles that he realized how little he really
knew about playing the game as it should be

Answers to Queries.

In reply to the query OF comparing scores
during game of progressive whist We will
cay: The laws OF the game are weak on that
point and will be remedied at the next con-
gress. If a player is caught at it when he
knows it is not permitted the one in charge of
the play should pub icly reprimard the Of
fender. 1t is a pernicious practice and should
be stopped.
Can the last trick be seen when once quilted?
No. The law says the last trick cannot be seen
when once quilted. We notice new scheme
is worked now. We are trying it. When we
want to sec the last trick or any card lin
duplicate) after all four cards are quilted We
deliberately pick up ours, turn 1t over, and ask
TO see the others, as though it had not
been turned and Quilted. We have never
