K. F. R. DINNER
MEMBERS OF SECRET SOCIETY
TO MEET THIS EVENING.

About a big round table in one of the
dining halls of the Ebbitt House the mem
bers of the K. f. r. Society, the like OF
which is not on earth, will gather this
evening, the thirty-fifth anniversary of the
organization. to indulge the fraternal spirit
and to talk over old times. The table,
which will be in the center Of this group
of "old boys" has been selected with
care to the general fitness of things Sew
eral requirements had to be met in the
choice. First was the size. 1t is big
table, fully twelve feet through, with
plenty Of space to hold the plates of all
the members who will be present, and in
addition to seaport a profusion OF good
things to eat. Democratic simplicity was
another essential demanded and satisfied
in the selection. So the table is a plain
piece of furniture. with no unnecessary
trimmings or decorations.
The hospitality of the members does not
extend to the inviting of outsiders to gather
around the banquet board. Therefore what
Is said and what Is eaten will remain mat
ters of conjecture to persons not sufficiently
fortunate to be members of the society. But
the public is allowed to know that goodiy
attendance is expected and that several
pleasant remarks will be made by certain
members In fact, regular toasts win be
responded TO in little speeches. as follows:

STAINING OAK.

One of the most valuable hints that
the delegation of British workmen OBJ
tanned upon their recent visit to Ger
many was that of a new method of
staining oak furniture. The results OBJ
tanned by the German manufacturers
have been much admired, but it could
not be understood how they produced
such beautiful shades. 1t is a new
method and obtained in a very simple
manner-by placing the frames, after
they have been thoroughly prepared
and polished. in an alright room or
large air-tight box. in which are
placed two large bowls containing from
five to six quarts of ammonia and close
the room or bog for he night. The
desired shade can be obtained by plac-
ing small pieces of prepared oak in the
room or box and Withdrawing the same
al intervals. Deeper shades, of course,
require longer exposure. Oak stained
in this way retains its color much long
er than by the process of rubbing in
ooloring extracts. which latter in the
course of time rubs off.

Artificial Albumen.

The German press reports an inter-
esting discovery new condensed food
to Supplant meat-one of the reports
being as follows:
1T is contended that the principal
nourishment required by the human
body for its maintenance is albumen,
the source of all muscular strength. 1t
was recognized that were It possible to
make artificial albumen, complete
change in the present system would
render the now so necessary meat foods
TO great extent Indispensable A di-
rector of the leading chemical institu-
ton, the Berlin University, has gained
the credit of having accomplished the
first analysis of natural aIbumen. He
has established the composition of the
various ingredients, some of which he
has succeeded in producing artificially.
The substance thus obtained he has
called 'polypeptide,' and it is said to
possess a large number of the properties
Characteristic of natural albumen The
vast Importance of this discovery will be
better comprehended when ii is realized
thdt the Introduction of this artificial
food VIII reduce the disastrous effects
OF bad harvests, pestilence, etc, to a
minimum, and cause famine to become
a thing of the past"

Charcoal n Poison Antidotc.

An article in a Paris journal says
that Japanese physicians declare that
it is impossible for internal poisoning
to result in death If the victim swallow
a quantity of charcoal as soon as the
first astro-intestinal disturbance Is
felt. and, il that is true. 1t would be
well TO make the fact universally
known Fontana was the first to dem
onstrate that charcoal absorbs gases.
After Fontana published the results of
his experiments, it was discovered that
it possessed powerful disinfecting quail
tiles. Later, cooks began to throw a
live coal into their soup in time OF
storm to prevent the atmospheric dis
turbance from turning" the soup, and
sugar refiners discovered that charcoal
could be used for clarifying sugar. 1t
is known that it has strong action on
alkaloids. Put paper filter in a fun
mel, put in charcoal and then put red
wine into the funnel, and the wine that
filters through the charcoal will be
white.

How Many Are There.

Editor National Tribune: Who can
call to mind any soldier who In the
civil war was enrolled as an enlisted
man in 1861 and served full four years
in the same regiment; who was ap-
pointed non-commissioned officer,
Second and First Lieutenant and Cap
tain of his company and Lieutenant
Colonel and Colonel of his regiment,
and returned from the war in 1865 the
Colonel in command of the same regi-
ment he entered in 1861 as an enlisted
man; who served at the front from
first to last during his four years of
service from the beginning to the end
of the war; who received the Medal of
Honor. brevet commission and com-
mendatiOn from his corps and depart
ment commanders for gallant and. meri-
torious conduct in battle?
We would like to hear of the men
who had this experience during the
civil war, as there is now pending in
Congress a bill to appoint and retire
and another bill to literally pension
such persons as have the experience
above.

SAP Francisco Notes.

Gen. Funston, and Mayor Schmitz. in
dispatches to the War Department. in
dignantiy denied the stories that they
were hostile to- one another; that they
were working at cross-purposes, and
that there are epidemics or danger of
them. They say that from the first
they have been in entire harmony and
working together as best they could
for the general good.
Fl. e. Tilden, a rich merchant and a
member of the Relief Committee, was
shot and killed April % by members
of the citizens patrol, and there is
much feeling on account of it. 1t is
claimed that he had the Red Cross flag
or his automobile and was conveying
refugees to park.
Work on the rebuilding of San Fran
cisco has actually begun, with archi-
tects drawing up plans in whatever
shelter can be provided for them, and
it is said that s20,00G,0O0 worth of
contracts will be let as soon as the legal
holidays end.
April % Secretary Shaw gave out
that he would Immediately deposit
100000 in the National banks of
San Francisco and vicinity to relieve
the urgent need of money I'm that city.
OF this some s5.000.0 000 will go to the
Crocker Woolworth National Bank and
the rest to other leading banks.
Much apprehension has been enter
tanned as to what Mount Tacoma
(Rainier) would do in the present dis
turbances. and that lofty peak has been
watched with a good deal Of anxiety.
IL was an active volcano ages ago. but
has been very quiet in all historical
times, although timid people, who have
watched it anxiously, have mistaken
clouds of snow driven about by gusts
of wind for spurts of steam.
At meeting at Fort Mason, which
was attended by Mayor SchmitZ Gems.
Funston and Greely, Secretary Metcalf
and others, a message was drawn up
to Gov. Pardee asking him to call a
special session of the Legislature to
consider the rebuilding of San Fran
cisco upon new and beautiful lines sug-
gested by the rebuilding of Paris.
The Stale Supreme Court has taken
action to prevent lapses. which would
deprive parties to suits from their
rights on account of the earthquake
The walls OF the st. Francis do not
appear to be sprung, and 1t is believed
that 100000 will restore the hotel to
its former splendor. The safety-deposit
boxes are intact.

HRd the Boys In a Trnp.

Referring to the fight and surrender
of Gen. John Coburn's Brigade of the
Third Division, Twentieth Corps. at
Thompson's Station, Tenn. Comrade
James X. Sackett, Co. F.. 18th Mich.
says the brigade was so hemmed in that
its commander had the alternative of
having his command cut to pieces un-
less he surrendered.
I'VE walked right into Forrest and
Van Dorn's trap he adds. I'VE were
completely surrounded. Our opponents
had short-range guns, being mostly
cavalrymcn. We held them at bay with
our long-range guns from until .
O'Clock, when our ammunition gave
out. and then it was all up with us.
The enemy ran up q piece of artil-
lcry close to our right wing and fired
one shot right down our line and not
more than 10 feet in front of us. The
second shot went Immediately over our
heads. Then they ran the gun up close
to us, when Gen. Coburn. Col. Gilbert
and Maj (now GEM Shafter tied their
white handkerchiefs to the points of
their swords i'll token of surrender. Had
they not done SO the next instant we
would have been moved down. Our
journey on toward Libby was begun 4
little before dark. We discovered after
wards that we had attacked Bragg's
left wing and escape was impossible,
as there was a long line of Confederates
lying along the pike in reaching dis
tance, so that - case we retired they
could give us full broadside. We held
them at bay long enough for Gen. Gill
bert to have sent to Franklin for re-
That was the only chance
had
