Iroquois Clubs Spring Meeting.

The second annual spring meeting of the
1roquois Club, held in the club rooms last
night. was far and away the best affair of
the kind that this organization has been
responsible for since it's early days. The
faithful for whom the meeting was held,
according to the yellow dodgers that were
distributed freely throughout the city, were
slow in gathering, but when they finally
arrived at the club house the rooms were
filled to overlooking, and even the Railways
were used to accommodate the overflow
1t had been expected that Mr.. E. b. Hay or
Mr. Barry Buckley would preside over the
meeting, but through some misunderstand-
ing neither of those gentlemen had been
warned of the honor that awaited them
and both absented themselves from the
meeting. There was no lack of presiding
officers however, and Mr.. Frank H. Hos
ford called the assemblage to order by
means of a huge claw hammer. Mr.. Hos
ford welcomed the guests on behalf of the
club and asked every one present to join
in silent tribute to the late Billy Amin,
who was buried in Trenton last week The
entire asSemblage arose sOlemnly and re-
manned standing few seconds No
toast was drunk; it was simply the express
sion of the respect and deep feeling of loss
that comes to every member of the club
and large circle of friends when the death
of Mr.. Amin is recalled. Mr.. Hosford
then introduced Mr.. Edward E. Hutchinson,
who sang ''Lenore." Mr. Edward J. Walsh
followed with a brace of Rotations and
Mr.. Hosford then resigned the chairman
ship to Mr. Edgar c. Snyder, who intro
duced Representative A. j. Campbell of
Montana. Mr. Campbell made short
speech and then Mr.. John A. Finnegan
was introduced Mr.. Finnegan sang three
songs in an excellent manner Mr. Fin
negan has a tenor voice that does not seem
to be disturbed under any conditions and
the three songs he sang only whetted the
appetite of his hearers for more After
Mr.. Harry Hanlein had rendered two songs
a short recess was taken, and then Mr.
w. H. Macdonald of the Bostonians was
placed in charge of the entertainment The
first number on Mr.. MacDonald's program
was a Scotch song by a Scotch singer of
the Bostonians, Mr.. Sandy" Donald. The
first song brought out calls for more and
Mr. Donald was required to sing three
songs over several times before he could
rest. Mr.. w. c. Weldon, the tenor of the
Bostonians, was next introduced to sing
THE Palms Mr.. Weedon's voice was a
revelation to the members of the club, and
repeated calls were made for more. to
which Mr.. Weldon did not respond then.
but later in the evening ne gave short
concert by himself, during the course of
which he sang a number of old Irish and
English melodies to select audience Mr..
Jack Walsh of the BoStCnians sang several
songs in an inimitable manner, and Mr.
FinneSan was required to sing again. The
evenings entertainment was brought To a

White Feathers.


No white pigments have been found
in feathers. The color Of white feath
ers is usually explained to be due to {
total reflection of the incident light
from air spaces or bubbles in thu
feather structure. White feathers d.
not differ essentially in structure from
black, red or other colored ones, ex
cept in the fact that no pigment /,
present. Though some Of the whit,
comes from the walls of the air-con
tanning medullary cells of the barb
the larger portion is produced by thu
barbules which have no air spaces
The white effect, as with snow or pow
dered glass, Is dependent upon thu
small size of the structural elements
These have a large number. of sur
faces so placed for any position of the
eye that the angle of incidence equals
the angle Of reflection with a maxi
mum reflection to the eye. There i.
almost no absorption by the unpig
mented feather substance, and the
amount of light transmitted through
the feather from objects behind it is
so small as to be imperceptible to the
unaided eye n the intense reflection OF
light.
