gether and reported that boxes had
been sold to Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. Mac
Donald. MIR. Leonard and others.
Nearly every woman present took tick
cts to sell. Miss Holmes has q wonder.
derful voice sweet, powerful and SYM
pathetic. The possibilities OF cultivs-
ton are unlimited. Miss Holmes sung
a group Of songs by MacDowell and an
old EEglisn song by Parker. There is
no reason why Miss Holmes should not
be numbered among the few great
American singers. In helping Miss
Holmes to the fret part Of a musical
education, Lincoln has the honor to
help develop that marvellous thing,
great human voice. The unanimity
with which the sale of tickets lie respon-
ded to elbows that Miss Holmes talent
is already recognized.

the afternoons and evenings of the past
week. Interest among the society la.

THE BROOKLYN BAKE.
Great Sport Yesterday Getting Away
 With Clans and Things.

The clambake and outing of the South Brooklyn Sporting club was held at the Adams farm, Town Plot, yesterday, and was an event charac- terized throughout by genuine pleas ure and the best of good fellowship. A feature was the excellence of the cooking and Maurice Whalen, master of the bake, received many deserved compliments. Previous to dinner the guests, numbering 150, were addressed i'll welcome by President Patrick the speech was lost because the odor of the juicy repast which Chief Wha- len had prepared was too much for the auditors and they made for the tables. During dinner Keron Lin den's orchestra played many sweet and stirring melodies, including "On Linden When the Sun Was Low" You'll Get All That's Coming to You,'' .'The Vail of the Dying Clam'' and .'I Met Her in the Garden Where the Praties Grow" But the gem of the musical program was MT Linden's flute solo, "Will There Be Anything Left For Us?' A base ball game fol lowed the big bake and the benedcts knocked out the bachelors by the score of z to 4. Credit for this vic tory belongs to little Willie Loftus, whose hit brought in six runs. Presi- dent Dunn covered himself with dust and glory by clearing twenty feet in a standing jump What added to the difficulty of the jump was that 1t was made from top of an apple tree. Mr Dunn also evoked much applause by his tilneful song, '.Whose Little Lobster are YouY' Michael Sullivan of the club was voted the champion eater, and the only disturbance of the day was his repeated yelling for more chicken. The wrestling match be- tween Jim Magner and Homer Buck ley was won handily by the iceman, Mf Buckley's face being pushed sew eral inches into the fertile soil If Town Plot All in all, it was great bake and will be soon repeated.

WORKMEN IN SESSION.
Boston Officers Trying to Keep Con
 necticut Lodges in Line.


 New Haven, Aug 12.--An important session was held Saturday that lasted we'll along in the evening in room 14 at the Hotel Garde, at which were present O. A. Ward of Boston, grand master In the New England jurisdic- ton of the Ancient Order United Workmen, Frederick E. Inglis, also of Boston, and past master of the order, Hugh Gibbs of this city, who is SUI pervisor of the lodges in this city, and, Harry Leigh, the state supervisor. The grand lodge officers arrived in this city Saturday at noon and met the New Haveners at the Garde hotel by appointment. When a Register re- porter called at the Hotel Garde Sat urday night the officers had just had supper and returned to their room on the second floor to continue the ses- sion. Grand Master Ward declared that there was absolutely nothing of interest in the session and said there was no business session at all He stated that he had just dropped into town and was there to call puon few friends. It was regarded as signifi- cant, however, that Harry Leigh, with a wrenched ankle and on crutches, was assisted up to the room where the Boston people were staying.
 The real purpose of the visit of the Boston representative from the grand lodge cropped out later in the evening. however. Grand Master Inglis came here. it was stated, for the purpose of smoothing the fur of the lodges in Connecticut through the grand officers here. The lodges in this state are fa- voring q separate Jurisdiction. They want to secede from the present grand 1nd ,,d s4aI ;cl, ! exercise full control over the lodges in this state. There. are 14,0OO, mem bers of the order in this state en- rolled in about eighty-t-wo lodges. The separate Jurisdiction question has been under discussion among the var- ous lodges of the order In this state for some time, and many of the lodges have already taken position on the matter. Out of the eighty lodges in the state about fifty, 1t is said, have voted i'll favor of separate jurislic- ton. In New Haven all the lodges of the order have voted in favor of the secession except West Rock and Israel Putnam lodges, which have yet to take action upon the question.
 Seeing the way the procession was going in Connecticut it is stated that the grand officers came down here Sat urday to effect a compromise. Objec- tion is made to the present order of things on various grounds.
 One objection and a cause why the Connecticut lodges favor a separate jurisdiction is that they pay into the grand lodge per capita of $1 for the expense of the grand lodge. The con- ference at the Garde lasted until late Saturday evening. but the officers de- clined to discuss the subject of the ses- sion.

 Waterbury people, and especially residents of this part of the town Keep very close eye upon the move ments of Willie Derwin, one of our own boys who has made his mark on the diamond, and whenever he makes an unusually clever catch or hit they are onto it the first thing and appear to take modest pride in calling atten- Ilon to It. His one-handed catch last saturday, which was a feature of the game, is the principal topic among the base ball cranks just now.
 Mayor Kilduff, Superintendent Kelley of the street department and Superintendent Edward McGrath of the school buildings. were over here to-day considering the best means of lceaning out the big pipe that carries away the sewage from the Bank street school. Janitor Herman and the three public officials looked over the whole ground thoroughly and concluded that every means should be devised to remedy the evil before starting to dig mp the lawn, but it looks as if they will be obliged to do this whether they like it or not.

silk Culture a Homo Industry.

A writer in the Philadelphia Times says that silk culture is not, and never business, but it adds vast wealth to the nations engaged in it for the simple reason that it can be pursued by the humblest and poorest, requiring only a small outlay. The raising of few. pounds of cocoons every year does not materially interfere with the house hold and other duties that now engage the time of the farm girls, and it is by each household raising few pounds of cocoon that silk culture must be carried on in this country, as it al- ways has been in other countries. In France cocoons are regularly pro- duced by more than 15o .oOO families.
