CONGREGATIONAL CLUB,
Regular Meeting in Plymouth Churcl
 Parlors Last Evening.


 Regular Meeting in Plymouth Church
 Parlors Last Evening.
 The Congrega tional club held it's regu- lar meeting in the parlors of Plymouth church last evening. Nearly all the members were in attendance and the meeting was a most interesting one. Supper was served as usual by the la dies at o'clock, after which the meet ing was called to order and the usual routine business transacted.
 An amendment to the constitution proposed was to limit the membership to 200. As there are already about 19O, five new members being elected last evening, should the amendment be car ried 1t would not be long before the membership would be complete It was tabled until the next meeting. The new members elected were: John Adams. AL bert c. Gardner, Wilet H. Kellogg, Wal ter I. Lowe, Frederick l.. Perry
 During the progress of the meeting selections by the Plymouth church choir were rendered, they being heartily en- joyed by all.
 The chief event of the evening and one which afforded the members great pleasure was an address by Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd of Amherst. Mass. She spoke on some of her personal experi" ences as a member of the Amherst Eclipse expedition to Japan. Mrs Todd is the wife of Professor Todd of Am herst college. With the rest of party of astronomers and travellers she ac- companied the expedition and her tale of her experiences was most interest ing one.
 They left San Francico in the schooner yacht Coronet owned by MT. James of New York with the object of observing the suns total obscuration in Japan on the 9th of August, 1896. The expedition was eminently a successful one and much valuable astronomical data was obtained by the scientists of the party. During her travels Mrs. Todd visited places in Japan never before reached by white woman. They led her into the midst of a peculiar race of people called the Aimes which she made her especial study, and in returning she brought back a valuable collection of materials from the country. Of the people she spoke as being relics of the stone age and and a race that is fast dying away and with no education of any kind and no civilization. Mrs. Todd likened them to the American Indian and stated that their existence would be before long matter of history.
 Her account of the suns corona at the time of the eclipse was most vivid and her skilful painting of the condi- ton of nature at the time of it's occur renee held her audience in rapt attention throughout. On the voyage out the party stopped at the Hawaiian Islands and these Mrs. Todd describes as per feet paradise to live in Her account of the hospitality of President and Mrs. Dole is a pleasant one and she stated that at that time in the whole party. there was not one in favor of annexa- ton.
 At the close of Mrs. Todds address applause broke out, which lasted for several minutes. A vote of thanks for her splendid address was then tendered her by the club.

QUESTION OF SUPERVISORS.
Committee Report Will Probably Bt
 Adopted By Common Council.

Committee Report Will Probably Be
 Adopted By Common Council.
 The recommendation of the special committee of the court of common coun- cil that only so much of the transfer of S7 300 asked for by the board of educa- tion be allowed as may be necessary for current expenses, after deducting S3,S0O which would be needed to pay salaries to supervisors for the fall term, is caus- ing considerable comment about the city. In addition to the recommenda- ton mentioned, it is probable that the committee will also recommend that the board of education be directed not to hire supervisors for certain departments of instruction next year. A prominent member of the board of aldermen speak ing of the matter last night. said that he thought that both boards of the common council would adopt the com mittees report. The majority of the members of both branches of the council seem to be very favorably disposed to- wards the subject matter of the report and general opinion seems to prevail that some steps should be taken to cut off needless expense in the city schools. The committee report will probably go to the aldermen at their first meeting next month, which occurs on the even ing of May 1.

WHAT WHITE OAKS WANTS.
Their Hope Lies In the Extension of
the bio 6rande Road.

Now that the Ell Paso & Northeast
ern has announced thatis will not ex-
tend It's line eastward, the White Oaks
people are beginning to study how
they are to secure q railway cOnnec-
Jiou- White Oaks is not on the rail-
way from e. Paso, SAYS the New Mex
lean. The distance from White Oaks
is probably seventv-6ve miles to
where the Pecos Valley line could be
tapped.
A SPUR of twelve miles would con-
meet White Oaks with Ell Paso over
the new line, But with this spur
built by the Denver & Rio Grande as
part of an extension from Santa Fee, a
distance of perhaps $50 miles, White
Oaks, the coal fields. gold mines and
timber country, would be on through
line to Denver. that would pass through
a prod uctive country, tapping Albu-
queraue, and there connecting with
the Santa F'e for east and west bust
ness.
The Beaver & Rio Grande business
in the south west, via Santa Fee, is
growing aud some day the road will
be extended to White Oaks and Ell
Paso.

cia,. returned from Topeka Tuesday.
Com bined. the firemen and engineers
had -thirty-ive delee ates at Topeka. 1t
was found that business could not be

The Santa Fe has had serious trouble
on account of the heavy southwest

is something unusual, but it was neces-
sary to run several such trains the past

NEW STYLE TENDER
0ae With Capacity of $500
Gallons of Water and IS Tons
of Coal to be Used Shortly.

There will be seen in Ell Paso short
ly large and new style locomotive
tender now being finished at the Santa
F'e shops in Topeka. Its capacity will
be about $500 gallons of water and
about Is tons of coal. This new tender,
and all others like it which are to be
built there, will be used on the heavy
through freight runs, thus doing away
with she necessity of stopping so often
to take coal and water. The new ten
der is larger than ordinary tenders
and differs in few main points.
In making the tender larger the wa
ter capacity is increased and likewise
the coal space. Also the collar of the
tank is extended upwards aud forms
sides for the piling of additional coal.
The top of the tank slopes gradually
in towards the center and in this way
the coal is by its own weight continu-
ally forced to the front where it can
be easily used by the fireman. This
feature will save the fireman from
having to climb up on top OF the coal
TO push it forward and prevents any
amount of coal from falling on top of
the tank.

THE Dewey KISS PATROL.
How The Admiral Mas Saved From
Feminine Oscillation.

"While was up at New York dur.
ing the Dewey celebration, said q
federal official last night, 81 had an
Interesting talk with an old friend of
mine who is in the secret service,
and who was there on spe-
cisl detail to look after some of
the distinguished guests. just how
many government detectives we're on
hand nobody knows except Chief Will
kie. and he isn't apt to tell, but there
were enough to put very prompt
quietus on any crank or indiscreet en-
thusiast who might have been inclined
to make things unpleasant.
''It seems that Dewey had particu-
lar dread of being kissed. He probably
remembered how poor Hobson had
been osculsted into obscurity, and the
first thing he asked of the members of
the arrangement committee who board
ed the Olympia in the bay was that =
females who looked as If they had in
tentions should be kept at distance.
The committee pledged him the
honor OF New York that
he would be protected, but
they realized at once that they had
the biggest kind of a contract on their
hands. 1t is no easy job to guard q
never do to tell every lady who came
the admiral, for nine-tenths of them
would certainly regard such caution
as downright insult.
"Then, too, the thing is so quickly
done, 1t might be all over before
Dewey could yell for help. The only
plan was sleeplese vigilance, and it was
exercised to the limit. When a woman
was spotted who looked as if she might
be meditating q rush and a smack, she
would suddenly find herself carried
backward into the throng. 1t seemed
like the natural swaying of the crowd
and how it really happened could only
have been explained by the dozen or
more quiet gentlemen in citizens
clothes who always bobbed up myster-
iously whenever the admiral halted in
his triumphal progress. They had sew
eral bad scares, but, taken altogether,
the kiss patrol was huge success. 1t
was the first time on record that the
government ever ordered q blockade
