That was a splendid company of re-
formers which gathered at and quite
well filled the great Y. M. G. A. audi
torium, Minneapolis, on the evening
of the 11th inst.
AS this writer seated himself at
one of the tables, having arrived on
belated train after the company
were seated, he was impressed with
the quietness of the affair. There was
little rattle of dishes or hum of con-
versation. This was unusual, Prohi-
bitionists being enthusiastic converse
tionalists and not slow at making away
with the best food that can be provid-
ed for them, as they deserve the best.
The phenomenon troubled us some
what, for we feared that our good men
and women were not enjoying them
selves as well as usual. We think the
riddle was solved when we discovered
that although the Old Guard were pres
ent, from one-haf to two-thirds of the
company of more than ESQ people were
strangers to us and largely to each
other This fact did undoubtedly put
something of hush upon the assembly
until the program opened but it should
be cause of rejoicing in that it indi-

Four great tables ran the length Of
the hall. At fifth, arranged at right
angles with these, sat the speakers
and members Of the State Committee
and their ladies. The feast was spread
by Dorsett, and that is enough to say
on that point.
At it's close B. B. Haugan of Fergus
Falls called the great assembly to or
der. He congratulated the party on it's
personnel, On it's victories won at the
elections just held and previously and
on the complete realization of it's aims
which, while yet in the future, is as
certain as that God lives. In his in
imitable style he then introduced the
persons upon the program in turn.

In addition to being thankful for good
health and reasonable degree of pros
perity, Prohibitionists should give spe7
cial thanks for the increase of our vote
in many states at recent elections, for
the local victories which we have won,
for the spirit of harmony and union
which pervades the party and for the
determination which is becoming more
and more apparent to make in 1904 the
greatest campaign of the party's history.
Oliver w. Stewart, Chairman National
Prohibition Committee
We should be thankful for the priv
ilege Of making heroic sacrifice in a
righteous cause that sometime must be-
victorious, for the reflex influence of such
sacrifice on the men and women who
make it in the development Of fire-tried
character and for the signs everywhere
of the progress of our cause, and the
weakness Of the enemy's cause, the
latter shown by their whist1ing to keep
up courage as they pass their own grave
vania Methodist.
For the harmony everywhere existing
in our own ranks; the better feeling Oft
all temperance societies and as a rule
the different churches towards our party
organizations; for the election of Oliver
w. Stewart to the Illinois legislature.
and because of that the opportunity af-
forded him to deliver the notable ad-
dress he did before that body, which
history will record as an important epoch
in our party movement; for the many
other victories recently won at the polls:

In California they do some remarkable
things, one of which is the making of
towns and cities to order, so to speak.
Along the beaches of Southern Cali
fornia can be found little cities, with
hotels, stores, dwellings and other build
ings, which have sprung into existence
within year or so, standing on sites
which were formerly mere patches of
sand or woodland. One of the most re-
markable Of these towns is located on
Santa Catalina Island, which lies off the
coast not far from the city of Los
Angeles. The ocean in the vicinity of
the island is noted as being the home of
the tuna, one of the gamiest fishes which
are taken with the rod, while the water
is SO clear that the wonderful marine
growth on the bottom can be distinctly

where provisions. drygoods and other
necessities are sold at the ordinary
prices: a postofiice and telegraph office,
while the town supports newspaper
during the principal season. In addition
to summer opera. band concerts are
given daily at expense of the committee.
The tuna are caught both from sail

have been taken. Tuna actually weigh
ing over 400 pounds have been caught
with the hook and line, although In some
cases the fishermen were obliged to
play them three or four hours before
the fish became sufficiently exhausted to
be drawn up to the boat and gated. Fre-
quently specimens are caught which are
twice the weight OF and actually longer
than their captors. They are to the
Pacific what the famous tarpon Is to the
Gulf of Mexico. and resemble the latter
greatly In their gaminess. although not
so attractive I'm appearance.
Naturalists say the tuna Is the larg-
est fish in the world that played" with
the rod. For the reason a great rivalry
exists as to who can take the largest
fish Some OF the women of Southern
California are experts In the sport. and
not a few OF them have taken prizes for
catching the largest during the season.

ord breaker. She Ii Mrs. A. w. Barrett,
who I'm 1901 actually hooked and brought
to the boat a monster weighing 4iS
pounds although IL took her nearly half
a day to tire the tuna so that II could
be reached by the boatman with his gam.
Other successful fishers among the wo-
men are Mrs. E. ". Dickinson, of Pasa-
dena, and Mrs. Gardner. one of the resi-
dents of Avalon.
Perhaps the most curious feature about
this curious resort Is the submarine
scenery already alluded to. The ocean Is
really natural aquarium. containing
a forest OF seaweed of all the colors Of
the rainbow, and not only fish of various
kinds. but curious marine creatures
crawling about the bottom, can be seen
without difficulty. The bay contains
such a variety of phosphorescent forms
of life that the bottom is actually illum-
mated at times as IL lamps had been
placed upon II. To allow an opportunity
to study the aquarium boats containing
large plates of glass In their hul1s have
been constructed. Some of these are
large enough to be driven by engines and
hold twenty or thirty persons. As they
pass slowly over the surface of the water
the occupants might imagine themselves
swimming or floating on its surface, az
the glass is perfectly transparent. The
effect produced Is weird, for II seems as
IL one were being held out Of the water

Gas at sykesville.

About two months ago Samuel Hare,
OF Sykesville, discovered gas escaping
from an old well which had been aban-
doned on the Daniel Weiss property.
Believing that the escaping fluid could
be utilized Mr.. Weiss and two OF his
neighbors had their houses plumbed
and the gas conducted thereto through
system of pipes, and are now enjoying
the benefits OF cheap light and heat.
Upon learning Of their success J. B.
Sykes made an investigation on his
premises and discovered an old boring
near his residence the product OF which
was soon turned to use in his household.
Convinced that gas was to be found in
paying quantities Mr.. Sykes had well
drilled on the hotel lot and about two
weeks ago was rewarded by striking
good gasser. The hotel was fitted up
with pipes and gas fixtures at once and
few days later the entire building was
supplied both for lighting and heating,
twenty-five jets, including large arc
light in front of the establishment,
being now in operation, AT night the
gas is lighted at the wells, adding much
to the convenience Of Sykesvile resi-
dents without making any perceptible
change on the supply in the dwellings.
The supply now being developed is
found at depth of from 60 to 100 feet,
and it is expected that before long every
family in town will be using gas for
heating and lighting their dwellings,
