GUERNEVILLE, Aug. 12.-The center
of attraction tonight in this neck of
the redwoods, through which the Rus
sian River flow in it's limpid way to
the sea, was the eliminating scene of
the midsummer high jinks of the Bo-
hemian Club. Camp was opened for
this seasons outing on July 29. Daily
additions to the number of campers
have been made since that time 1t Is
estimated that seven hundred persons,
including club members, guests and
musicians, participated tonight in the
crowning festivities of the yearly
event. The hooting of the owl was
heard from dewy eve.
The theme presented tonight by the
sire, Newton J. Tharp, for the diver
sion and allurement. of the owls chill
dren in the woods was denominated, the
Quest of the Gorgon." What it really
signifies only the owls own anointed
of the inner temple of the woods know,
but the story was told in beautiful
music instrumental and vocal The
singing was so sweet and enchanting
that the winged birds OF the forest
were Jealous Of the Bohemian larks.
At Camp Vacation and like places
on the river banks where ladies and
other tourists annually gather for sum
mer solace, there has been deal or
conjecture concerning the real name
and true significance of the theme
Fair ones tell the wayfaring stranger
that the club is the Guest of the Cor
gon"-that the Gorgon is the great
spirit of Bohemia that comes to the
grove once a year to restore harmony
to the musicians, impart inspiration to
artists and teach enterprise to the lag
gard vendors of liquid refreshment.
Yokels who have gone where the sum-
mer girl fears to venture explain that
the "Gorgon' is neither a spirit nor a
myth. but a veritabie, prowling beast

made that Tharp went forth to slay
the monster and with the aid of music.

Isle D. Graham, of this city, and

American side Of the whirlpool to

made at 1902 p. m. from Flatrock,
which is on the American side. The
swimmers did not venture in the up
per rapids, where Captain Webb lost
his life.
Both men wore life belts and indat-
ed rubber rings around their necks.
From the start Glover took the lead:
He entered the rapids about minute
ahead Of Graham. Until the Devils
Hole was reached the swift current
and roaring rapids had the swimmers
Z In their grasp. at that point "a swirl
ing eddy caught Glover, and he Wa's
down nearly two minutes. His life

time had gained on Glover, and when
the two men reached the end Of the
rapids just above the suspension
bridge at Lewiston there was but lit
tie distance between them. Swim
ming in the swift, smooth current was
hard for Graham, but evidently easy
for Glover. At 4:2S o'clock Glover

News About Nerves.

London, Bng-The Marshall Hall
Prize, given every FIVE years by the
Royal Medical Society, has been
awarded to Henry Head for an im-
portant discovery of the workings Of
the nervous system. Prof. Head had
the eensory nerves of his arm divid-
ed, and then he watched the sensa-
tions that followed. Then he had the
nerves reunited by stitching, and he
watched the process of recovery. The
results was that he discovered tthat
there are two distinct sets sensory
nerves. One conveys4cne sensations
of pain, heaLaAu-curd. The other con.

enables one to localize the sensations

shoemakers Once Were Well Paid.

Shoemakers Once Were Well Paid.
Thirty years ago, when all shoes
were made by hand, the shoemaker
earned O fair salary of from s12 to
SIG per week. Every shoe shop had
from five to ten sfoemakers working.
Shoes and boots cost from So to SIS,
and they received much more repair
ing than do the shoes of to-day. Now
girls are working in the factories and
hundreds of good shoemakers are look
ing for something to eat. Over half
of the shoemakers who formerly
worked in the shops are working at
other lines of business, and making
more money.
A journeyman cobbler seldom makes
more than So or 50 per week.
One may wonder why it is that the
cobbler nearly always finds a mean,
dirty hole to crawl into and to call
it repair shop. The fact is, he can
not afford to pay much rent. In the
average shoe shop in the good seasons
spring and summer-he can do 81
worth of repairing day, and not
more than Sc if he works in the night
time. Four dollars per day and six
days week make s24 per week.
