The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-11-10

Although this has been election
week. with all the excitement incident
to it, there has been no dearth Of
social interest. There has been no
formal functions with the exception Of
Mrs. E. w. Eisenhart's two afternoon,
on Wednesday and Thursday, but
there has been many smaller informal
affairs And then the attractions at
the Metropolitan have been of an I'M
usual order and have drawn society
out. This reminds one. that it may
be noticed. Manager Myers of the
Metropolitan has been giving us more
than the usual theatre attractions this
season both in number and quality
and he claims he has even better In
store for before, and during. the holi-
days. The Thursday musical club
gave its November program on Thurs
day Of this week. and 1t was OF more
than ordinary interest. Miss Viola
Shaw of Fargo. the talented violinist,
and Mrs. Charles Wisner, contralto.
of this city furnished the program
which was of high order and excep-
tional of execution. The browning
event Of the week of course was the
Elk's "Crysanthemum Party" at which
they did themselves proud. Tonight
John Griffith will appear at the Met
ropolitan In Richard the Third" This
will undoubtedly draw good house.
The "Crysanthemum Party" given
by the Elks last evening fulfilled all
expectations from every standpoint
and was the most delightful dancing
party of the series. The music was
Of the best and the attendance good
there was about thirty-five couples.
The supper could not have been ex-
celled. The ball room and the tables
were decorated In magnificent large
yellow and lavender crysanthemums,
and one was presented to each guest.
The Elks have certainly made good
beginning for their social campaign
and IL last nights party Is to be taken
as a criterion of the winters festivi-
ties. there will be no -Ack of attend
ance. Their next event will be on
November % when they give the
Snowfall Party"
Mr.. c. Smith of Devils Lake and
Mr.. Mike Cowley of Larimore came In
for the "Crysanthemum Party" last
evening.
Miss Mabel McLaren of Larimore is
the guest Of Mrs. A. Turner for "a
few days.

MACHINE TO WATCH MEN.
Automatic Device Records the Work
Done and Time Idled AWAY.

The introduction Of modern detail
cost-accounting methods. which have
done much to systematic and cheaper
manufactures. has led to the develop
ment of an ingenious apparatus which
chine is stopped and the output of any
machine for given period.
Moreover, the device makes an auto
matte record of all these facts, SO that
at the close Of the day the manager,
by scanning these graphic records. can
tell the exact output of any machine
and the length Of time it was in oper-
alton, thereby enabling him to form an
accurate judgment of the reliability Of
different operators. The beauty of the
device Is that the workman knows his
every move is being reported in the
misrepresent conditions.
The recorder consists of controll-
Ing clock. which revclves a series OF
Time charts, one for each machine I'M
der observation. The hours and divi-
sion of hours are printed vertically on
the chart. in addition to which series
OF pencils is rigidly fixed. The adjust
ment Is such that the machine can be
made to indicate every single revolu-
ton or any multiple desired. and each
horizontal stroke of the pencil indi-
Gates one of these units. which is made
opposite the corresponding hour and
minute. When there are no strokes it
Indicates that the machine Is stopped.
BY simple mechanical arrangement
an air piston is operated, which in turn
establishes an electric connection. the
impulse of which is transmitted to the
recording machine controlling its
mechanism. 1t is suggested that this
device could be used to very great ad-
vantage in connection with the en-
gines Of steamships. as a graphic rec
ord is made of speed. and the exact
moment when any order Is carried out.

OYSTERS ARE APPETIZING.

Malaga grapes, IS cents per pound
Asparagus tips. 80 cents per can.
Ben Davis apples. per bushel 80
cents.
Boiled cider. 40 cents a quart.
Oysters. 60 cents per quart.
Concord grapes. per basket 80 cents.
1t is kind of fun to watch the mar
ket in the price of mushrooms, which
at all times are a scarcity in Grand
Forks. In season and out of season.
mushrooms almost invariably remain
60 cents a pound. but all at once the
price gaily and irresponsibly rises Is
cents pound. and unlike the watchers
of copper stock quotations, those in
terested in mushrooms don't go about
with their faces wreathed in smiles.
For the great. happy. unfettered COM
mon people it doesn't make the teeniest
bit OF difference. Who cares for mush-
rooms. when pun 'kins are only Is cents
for one:
Oysters are the most appetizing
thing to make their appearance at
table. Delicate little blue points, or
stews, or soups. or raw, or almost any,
way. Nice fat ones for frying, or
smaller ones for other things are to
be had.

ing and to some extent suggestive.
though this early millinery seldom
indicates clearly what maybe expected
later, or just what shapes, colorings
and material will be most popular.
Some very narrow turban shapes,
suggesting the torpedo turban of last
year, are among the first moSels, and
there are both high crowned and low
crowned shapes. large and medium
sizes; but the absurdly small rakish
hat is CONSPICUOUS by its absence. Some
OF the smartest street models are in
black trimmed in some one of the vivid
yet soft green's, and there are pretty
models in all green.
The all black hats are ever more
numerous than usual and Jet figures
conspicuous in their trimmings,
Frightening the models attractively
but adding considerable weight to the
hat. Black and white combinations
In millinery are always hopeless If
not particularly smart, but some lovely
models. In this combination, chiefly
soft white felts trimmed in black, are
ordered fer early autumn. One import
ant dress hat is a low crowned, wide
brimmed shape in black velvet, with
four-inch border of white felt, on
the dropping brim and a trimming of
splendid black plumes caught BY
a big buckle of cut jet. Velvets, long
mapped beavers, smooth soft felts are
all represented and soft satin, velvet,
silk ribbon, wings, ostrich plumes,
coque feathers and bird of paradise
plumes are the favored trimmings.
The ugly uncurled ostrich feathers
which have been summer fad with
the Parislans. are featured in the fall
millinery. and the huge sweeping par
adise plumes have lost none of their
popularity.
The long coat. with basque cut
In the redingote style. has been by
no means ruled out OF coats, especially
for dressy occasions, and this is far
more elaboratly trimmed than is the
case with the short coat. Embroider-
les of all kinds are high in favor, es-
pecially Japanese and Indian while
the touch of gold, silver or copper
thread which is introduced into them
appears to be indispensable. No COM
promise is permitted between the long
coat and the short coat of hip-length,
the styles which come "betwix and
between" being almost extinct.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

Chicago. Aug. t1.-CATTLE.-Re.

uominally teady. The demand for cat
tie this week kept the price mp only

lighter than last week. Good cattle

pared with the prices at the close Of
last week. The demand from shippers
and exporters has been a decided dis

MARKETUNSETTLED STRONGER PRICES
Yesterday and Prices of Stocks Were
lrregular-Call Money Rate
Plays Important Part.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE sentiment
of the stock market was unsettled and
| the movement of prices was irregular,
with a growing tendency towards re-
action. The stiffening of the rate for
call money and the evidence of the
setting in Of a seasonable demand for
currency from the harvest regions
helped the reactionary tone.
The rise in the call oan rates and
sustained rates for time loans proved
a disappointment to the conductors of
operations for an advance, who had
convinced themselves that conditions
had been worked out to insure exemp.
tion from stringency for period
that would give an opportunity for a
successful movement in the market.
The assurance obtained on this point
had removed the only effective oh
'stacle to the rise in prices by large
accumulation of stocks in speculative
hands. The assurance was based on
the current ease of call money under
dividends and interest money and to
the pause in the demand for circula-
ito, incident to the midsummer
period The measures adopted by the
treasury department for facilitating
the hoatation of the Panama canal
bonds had added to the resources of
the money market. The large re.
sources at the command of the treas
ury were also pointed to as affording
security for the money by The known
movements of several million dollars.
The surplus reserve, which is reduced
to SS,271,525 as compared with $12,
SAG 500 of year ago and with $751;
1871, AS of two years ago no doubt is
felt, in view of the banking situation,
and rising rates for money and the
of cash towards the interior
that gold will be withdrawn from
London next week for New York ac-
count Confidence in the result, helped

Came Late in the Day in the Wheat
Market Following Many Bear
sh Early Sentiments.

Chicago, H.. Aug. 11--WHEAT.-
Strength was developed late in the
day The first part Of the session the
sentiment was bearish. weak cahles,
clear weather and lower prices at Min
.neapolis having a depressing effect.
A leading commission house was the
principal seller For a time trading
was inclined to drag, owing to the
lack of demand, Later, however, buy
ing became more active, cash houses
being quite liberal purchasers. The
Joint report of two well known crop
experts claiming the total yield Of
spring wheat in Minnesota and the
Dakotas is about 24000,009 bushels
less than the amount estimated by
the government officials, was an in
feeling. Another factor was the con
stantly decreasing receipts at pri
mary points, the arrivals for the wcel5
showing a falling off Of % per cent a.
compared with the total movement
of the proceeding week. The close was
firm, September mp &c.
CORN--Favorable weather for the
growing crop cau.ed an easier tone
earlier in the day. The offerings. how
ever, were not larger. Later. an active
demand by the commission houses re
suited in a finer tone. Buying was
due to a large extent TO the light
stocks of contract corn in Chicago AMI
the practical absence Of acceptance
of bids sent out last night by cash
houses. The close wa. firm, Septemhe,

Stating the combined purpose of the
exercises, DR. Taylor introduced as the
speaker of the afternoon, Hon. John
III. Hanley of Monmouth. who. in an in
spring address. paid tribute to the
memory OF Abraham Lincoln. Mr..
Hanley analysed the characteristics of
the remarkable martyr president, and
followed his career from his lOwly birth
in Kentucky through his boyhoOd days
in that state, Indiana and Illinois.
pictured his experiences in the Black
Hawk war, his political career, and his
wonderful achievements in the execu-
tive mansion. One characteristic par
ticularly emphasized by the speaker
was Lincoln'S great reverence for his
mother Mr. Hanley quoted Lincoln S
sentiment expressed after his election
to the presidency. "All that l am, all
that | have been, all that / hope to be,
owe to my angel mother" Conclud-
ing his address. Mr.. Hanley said, The
fairest pages of history are reserved
for the account of the life and achieve
ments of this man. Never had history
seen a man of such humble beginning
and confronted by such adverse cir
cumstances. so highly honorcd, and
placed in such high power and re-
Spect."
