UNITY CLUB MEETING,
OrSanizat iOn of "a Listens to Adj
dress by DR.. Whitman.

The eighth meeting of the Unity Club,
organized in 1874, was held last evening at
413 10th street. DIR. Thomas Calyer pre-
sided and DIR. Lewis ]. Battle acted as
secretary. The feature of the evening was
an address by Rev. DR.. B. L. Whitman,
president of Columbian University, entitled
The College as a Moral Force" An
amusing comedietta, by DIR. CaIver, was
presented by Mrs. Haywood, Miss Calver
and the author. The remainder of the pro-
gram comprised piano solos by Miss Mason
and Miss Ebert; vocal solos by Miss Bish-
op, DR.. Barnes, Miss Ellsworth and Miss
Jessfca Tabler, and recitations by Miss
Buckley and Mr.. Haywood. The attend
ance was unusually large. and the meeting
was one of the most successful and enter
tanning IN the history Of the organization.
In his address Rev. Dr. Whitman spoke
OF the misconceptions and false ideas of
college life. He referred to the supposed
lack of safeguards. remarking that it is the
unknown that terrlfles. There Is danger In
college life and college play according to
the speaker, as we'll as in all walks Of life,
but thers are safeguards, as well.
The speaker next dwelt upon the exist
ence of a notion of attainment at little
cost. There Is no short cut to wisdom, he
said. A wrong conception of liberty at
college was touched upon, and then the de-
velopment Of the book-worm was treated.
There is something beautiful in devotion
to books said Rev. DR.. Whitman, but there
is danger point at which reading may
become disease.
The ends and aims of student endeayor
were discussed by the speaker, who spoke
OF development capacity, intensity and
culture as among thu elements of educa-
ton Character, he said is the soul devel-
oped. There are two sides of student life,
according to Rev. DIR. Whitman-the man
side and the book side, the man side being
the most important Before concluding his
interesting address the speaker remarked
that the college is the nursery of patriot
ism, and that religious work in college is
underestimate because of it's unobtrusiye-
ness.

ing were Mrs. +. e. House, Mrs. Collamer,

Judge Kimball Of the Police Court had
two young men before him this morning
who had been arrested because of their
Incorporate habits. The defendants We're
Daniel Linski, twenty-one years old, and
Robert Thackeray. whose age was given
as sixteen years. Both had been in court
before. Linski had been before Judge
KimbalI on one occasion as alleged
habitual drulIkard, and had been put I'M
der bonds for his good behavior. But his
court experience had not effected a refor-
nation, for the police reported that they
had seen him drunk a number Of times
this year.
The young man said today he could not
tell just how many times he had been
drunk. Last night he went in saloon
and ordered bottle of beer. which was
furnished. and when the bartender refused
to give him second bottle, he became
angry and smashed a window.
The court imposed a penalty of s. or
fifteen days in the case of breaking the
window, and required him to give bond in
the sum of 800 or go down for ninety
days on the vagrancy charge.
Then the younger defendant was called.

said land l don't want to 10 there again.
rested on this charger"
Twice" he replied, but wasn't drunk
the last time"
How much had you drunk?'
only one beer"
The judge told him he had made an early
start and terrible record, and that uu-
less he steps drinking right away he may
expect to fill drunkard's grave before he
Is of age.
What do you intend to do now?''
I'm willing to do what's right IL given
chance"
The Judge told him he could make his
own chance by refraining from the use of
strong drink. The boys personal bonds
were taken.

The policemans charge was that the
young man had been lettering about sa
looms ever sincs he was released.
Didn't / take your bond to leave the
city," Judge Kimball asked.
Yes. SIR" he answered, but every time
I start fall In the hands of the police"
That's your own fault" he was told

get out don't let any grass grow under
your feet between the workhouse and the

A special to the New York Tribune from
Sacramento. Cal, says: Joseph Schurtz
originally of Germany, later of Los An

Ayres, who is I'm Sacramento on a mission
from the Argentine Republic lays claim to
having been the means of inducing the
Prussian ministry to lay an embargo on
American fruit.
He says he was at one time engaged in
a project for foreign exposition of Cali

couragement that he threw up his scheme
and swore revenge on the country in gen.

then, he says, he has been in communica-

alleges that the embargo placed on Ameri-
can fruit was solely due to disclosures
which he made that California oranges are
picked by leprous Chinese and that dried
fruit Is impregnated with dangerous BAG

A STRANGE RACE.
Rival Railway Companies, Who Desire
to Own the First Road
Into the Yukon Country-Each Line will BE
About 400 Miles LonR-The Roads Will
Run From Pyramid Harbor to q
Point on the Lewis River.

TACOMA, WASH, Jan. IA railroad
building race involving the expendi-
ture of SIC, ,O0O, 900 has been commenced
by two wealthy corporations, each of
which desires to own the first railroad
into the Yukon country. Each road
will be about 400 miles long, running
from Pyramid harbor, near the head
of Lynn canal. to points on Lewis
river below Five Finger rapids.
The companies back of the railroad
projects are the London Exploration
Co. and the Yukon Co., organized last
summer by Andrew F. Burleigh, the
principal stockholders of WHICH are
Philadelphia and New York men. Both
corporations have surveyors and en-
gineers at work between Pyramid har-
Dor and the Lewis river. The pro-
jectors of both roads figure on an aver
age cost of over $40, 900 a mile, requir-
ing an outlay of Ss,OOO.OOO for each
road
The equipment for each will cost
about 81 900, 900 more. Both companies
have secured right of way from the
Canadian government, and are now
working to secure from congress nee
esary rights of way through the so
miles of American territory.

GIFT OF PICTURES REFUSED.
Not Good Enough for the Nucleus of

Not Good Enough for the Nucleus of
n London Art Gallery.
The lord mayor of London, Horatio
David Davies, has declined the offer of

who is well known in New York, who
offered to present the corporation Of
London with the nucleus of an art
gallery, Mr.. Sellar's contribution to

and English pictures.
The declination of the lord mayor is
owing to the varied character of the
works." but it is an open secret that the
alleged Bainsboroughs, Constables and
other old masters, after examination
by experts, have been found to be hard
ly Of the character to form the ground
