clined beam. At every five feet a stop
is located, at any one of which, by play
ing out the hoist rope, the carriage may
be stopped and locked. The load is at
the same instant released and falls YER
tically to the deck of the boat. Simply
paying out and hauling in the line un-
der the direction of the signal man is
all that is required to operate the ma
chine successfully.
If the boat happens to be rolling, al
tering the incline to 80 degrees, the ma
chine works just as well. Vessels coal
ing in the harbor, or while on duty in
a blockade, could have coal boats towed
to them from which the coal could be
rapidly transferred. Forty tons per
hour has actually been handled by this
machine, and with two or three of them
working at the same time the capacity
would be multiplied in proportion.

make for the amenities in a surprising
degree. They increase the speaking
confidence of every one who responds
to a toast, and thus increase the num-
ber of those who can stalk on their
feet" at short notice. One man of my
acquaintance who was thrown INTO a
genuine cold terror when asked to
speak at dinner held near the begin
ming Of the winter has since that time
developed into a remarkably entertain
ing after-dinner tall1er, and some of the
reported toast responses at the cur
rent Klondfke dinners would not be dis
creditable to the most polished after
dinner speakers in the entire country.
EAST SIDE DINNERS.
The dinner clubs of the East Side are
among New York's most curious in
stitutions. Their members are often
business men who like little bohe-
mianism occasionally, and organizs
solely for the purpose of a monthly
meal unconventionally served and fol-
lowed by such entertainments as East
Side denizens delight in.
AT the dinner of one club of this sort,
beef-steak cut in strips about the size
of two fingers. fresh light bread, and
old ale are the only refreshments pro-
vided. Neither knives, nor forks, nor
plates are allowed. The beef must be
eaten from the fingers, which are pro-
tected from the juices OF the meat by
bits of bread only, and it is a disgrace
to either clubman or guest to stop eat
ing till all the steak prepared has been
consumed.
The singers and recitationists, al
ways men, that furnish the entertain
ment are unlike any Others In the wide,
Wide world, and their ballads and Sc
lections'' are sometimes the reverse of
refined, though rarely or never vicious,
and always broadly humorous. 1t is
not at all unusual for the participants
in such a dinner as 1 have in mind,
costing dollar a head and served in
the Sitting back room of some cheap
East. Side saloon 30 include half a
dozen men whose bank accounts are ex-
ceedingly fat and whose rent rolls run
away UP into the tens Of thousands.

KLONDIKE DINNERS.
The Klondike fever has taken hold
of New York with a grasp that is really
remarkable; and. clJriously enough,
those who seem to be most affected
are generally men whom you would be
! least likely to suspect of susceptibility
to the disease,--men who are holding
good places here in which they would be
far more certain of amassing a com
potency in time than in the digging Of
gold away UP north. Of course it would
not be possible to say how many men
of this sort are going, but the number
is large and the rush has probably only
lust begun.
