The E!cn's Club.


The Presbyterian club held {
very interesting meeting last
night. After prayer by the
chaplain, the president, DR.,
Colt, made a brief but telling
address on the cultivation of q
helpful spirit toward one an
other. Mr.. A. Edgecomb, the
speaker of the evening, then
gave an address as advertised
on applied Electricity" in
which he traced the history of
, human perception of this subtle
but mighty power at our dis
posal in nature, tracing the OBJ
servation of this power from a
period OF 500 3. c., when the
effect Of rubbing amber, sealing
wax, ETC., was seen. This Curl
Gus effect was not thought to
be OF any practical value until
the 18th century, when DR..
Gilbert gave it the name of
''electricity" from the Greek
electron, meaning amber. Far
aday was shown by the speaker
to be the first to utilize it, and
Nicola Tesla, the great econ
omizer of its power by means
OF his induction coils. Edison
also received merited praise.
The principles underlying the
use OF electricity as light, both
incandescent and arc, were
shown, and the power of the
motor and dynamo explained.
Mr.. Edgeconb Illustrated his
talk by use OF a 4 dry cell bat
terry and Nicola 'I'esla's wonder
full induction coils, also by
diagrams on the blackboard. A
hearty vote of thanks was ac-
corded him at the close of his
address. DIR. Colt then called
the attention of the club to the
desirability of finishing the
"cluh headquarters" for which
about $3.50 would be needed.
A committee consisting of Mr..
Phil Robinson, Mr.. A. Edge
comb and Mr.. Wattles was APP
pointed for this purpose, and
urged to takeimmediate action.
The meeting was we'll attended

kuropatkin Decisively Whipped.
Toxic, Oct: 13- War experts say
it is yet too early to measure the
results of the tremendous. struggle
which has been waged for the past
three days south of Mukden, but all
reports reaching Toxic indicate that
Kuropatkin has been decisively whip
ped and severely punished. The Rus
sian commander was evidently caught
while making his dispositions, and
with his forces scattered and was beat
en- before he could recover. Much de-
pends on the ability and resolution of
the Japanese in applying and following
up their advantages. Kuropatkin may
turn upon favorable ground and sue
ceed in beating back the Japanese on
slaught, but the time seems against
him. The Japanese yesterday began
q desperate effort to turn the Russian
right and If this effort should be sue
cessful it will carry disaster to the Rus
sian arms. The estimates Of the to-
tai forces engaged vary, one telegram
from Lao Yang says the Russians
have 100000 men with 1000 guns. Jap.
anese forces exceed the number en-
gagged at the battle OF Lao Yang.
Japs Still Hold YentaI Mines.
st. Petersburg, Oct. ia dispatch
from tip correspondent of the Associ'
ated Press, dated at Mukden, Oct. II
