WEST SIDE EVENTS.
St. David's bay Banquet Held in the
Wetih Tabernacle Congregational
Chnrch-Other News Items.
St. David Is the patron saint of Wales,
and the Welsh people roRulnrly pay trl
Imte to him on the. Ilrst day of March
in each year. Last evening the people
of the Welsh Tabernaele CoiiRreKation
ul church celebrated the event with a
banquet. The church has held similar
festivities for several years, nil of which
were very successful. The affair of last
evening, in point of attendance and in
bounteousness of enjoyment, eclipsed
any former efforts. The church was
crowded arid It wus only with difficulty
that passage could be made through the
crowd.
Beginning at 6 o'clock supper was
served until nfter 10 o'clock with an
hour's interruption for the mental en
tertainment of the evening. Down
stairs, where the repast was served,
six tables were arranged, each of which
bore a homogenous quantity of edibles.
Kach table had its corn of pretty young
ladies, who served the special courses
under the supervision of the following:
Mrs. D. P. Jones', Mrs. Thomas V.
Jones, Mrs. ltedmund, Mrs. Klbridge,
Mrs. W. S. Jones, Mrs. Reese W. Llnyd.
Mrs. Morris Jones, Mrs. Powell. Mrs.
Richard T. Kdwards, Mrs. John D.
Jones, Mrs. Sarah Morgan and Mrs.
Howell Phillips. The general commit
tee included Kvan U. Reese, chairman;
Thomas J. Lewis, assistant: David Hop
kins, treasurer; David M. Jones, secre
tary; John F. Williams. Richard K.
Thomas, Mrs, Reese Lloyd, Mrs. Jonah
Reumund ana Mrs. Reese IJ. Keer.e.
Those In charge of the entertainment
were Rev. D. P. Jones, pastor of the
church, Hugh Jones und Howell O.
Reese. At 8 o'clock the entertainment
began in the main auditorium, which
was well tilled. Assistant District At
torney John M. Harris presided. He
made a few remarks In opening the pro
gramme. Mr. Harris said that what
ever he had attained In the way of sue
cess he can attribute to the teachings
he obtained in a good Welsh home. He
admired Wt. David. He represented a
land that has made itself felt in every
walk of life. He advised the parents
present to educate their children. f
this Is a country of education, and by
continued attention to the mental culti
vatlon, not by spasmodic application, is
the effect of study felt. He compli
mented the church people fur their ex
cellent endeavor to honor St. David.
William lOvans sang a bass solo, fol
lowed by a song given by Miss Jennie
Jones, of the church. Roth were pi 'us
ing to the ntidlturs. David Stevans,
who has won several ;iilzes for His
excellent tenor Kinging at the local
and nearby Welsh eisteddfods, gave u
solo last night. The address of Pro
fessor George Howell, stipei intemlen t
of the public schools, was a tine orator
ical effort. Mr. Howell had not pre
pared a siieclllc uddress, but for its
very spontaneity, the speech made a
great impression. Mr. Howell reveiwod
1 lie life of the saints. He is a wor
shiper at the throne of St. David, and
Ida tribute last evening was ilowery
and full of feeling. He sulci that he
wished to encourage these festivities
When the people of the country could
gather and express their veneration
for the religious model of their hind.
St. David was a great nian, but.
though not disparaging his personal
eminence, we must thank the people

who caused hia greatness. Without a
great land behind a great man his
greatness falls from Its station. Glad
stone is honored for the great nation
he represents. The Saint, David, rep
resents the Welsh people. Mr. Howell
does not admire the man with the great
head more than lie does the man of
the great heart. The speaker drit ted
into his favorite theme, "Heart Cul
ture." He paid a tribute to the Welsh
nation and coimiarvd St. David to a
moving Btar In the heavens that shone
amid the Immovable bodies. During
the talk the siwaker was frequently
interrupted by applause.
After Mr. Howell had concluded. Mrs.
Howell U. Reese sang and Mrs. M. J.

of Belle vile Heights. Fang as the clos
ing numbers of the entertainment. The
accompanist was Mrs. D. K. Thomas.
Summing us the entire affair with its
several prominent features the ban
quet of last evening was a fitting' tri
bute to the immortal baint. and in hon
oring St. David the members of the
Tabernacle church honored themselves.
After the entertainment tho supper
was ugain partaken of in the church
basement. The church throughout was
sieelally decorated. A larg and pe
culiar specimen of the "leek." which
is the Welsh national emblem, formed
a prominent part of the decorations.
"St. David's Day" in letters of blue
were stretched across the westerly side
of the basement.
TWO NEW VEINS.
The manner in which the two veins
that underly McKeevers" Held on the
northerly side of Hyde Park were dis
covered is a sample evidence of luck.
The four veins in the mine had been
worked out and the plsce was about
to be abandoned when it was suggest
ed thut borings be made for any coal
that might be found under the worked
out veins. To the tmrprlse of all two
veins w ere discovered. The Fame veins
unrieilv Dunmore, but It was not
thought that they extended across the
river.- They are known as the Dunmore
and Rvder veins, and in the borough on
the hill the first Is only a few feet below
the surface. The discovery has neces
sitated the tearing down of the old
tower thnt stood near the slope and a
new ami belter one will be built in or
der to accommodate the increased out
put. At least eighty additional miners
will be given employment.

ELECTRIC ICR CUTTING.
A Rapid nnd Handy Motor Which Weighs
Only ns Much as a Horse.
A novel piece of apparatus was tried
at Concord. N. H.. recently, says the
Electrical World, consisting of an elec
tric lee-cutting machine, the invention
of Woodsum Krothers. Sunapee, N. H.
The apparatus resembles a mowing ma
chine with a sled In front of the wheels.
Directly under the seat Is a 5 hp. three
phase. 110-volt Induction motor, which
drives, by means of a belt, a circulnr
saw located in the forward part of the
machine, nnd also, by means of friction
wheels, the mowing machine wheels
which propel the machine. A guide
runs In the last , groove cut. which
guides the machine and makes the cuts
parallel. The current comes through
flexible conductors, which drag over the
ice. In the teBt at Concord current
w.HS supplied from the station of the
Contwd Iand and Water Power com
pany. The whole apparatus weighs
only about the same as an ordinary
horse, and the operator In his mowing
machine Beat, by means of levers, can
make the machine go forward and back,
and can vary the depth of the cut from
one Inch to nine Inches. The saw cuts
a groove three-eights of an Inch wide
The test was successful from the start,
and a speed was attained of J 00 feet In
one minute, cutting a groove nine
inches deep.

WICKEDEST PLACE OX EARTH
Immorality Holds High Carnival at Port
Said on tho Suez Conal.
If the experienced globe-trotter of the
present day were asked to name tho
wickedest smt on earth hi would al
most certainly name Port Said, nnd he
who would validly contradict him
would have to dire-over a very wicked
spot. lnded. It would be quite safe to
say that there is no evil feature of hu
man life that is not In some degree rep
resented in this pfirohed-un-wny-slde
inferno. The scourings of every con
tinent on enrth. the very dreps of hu
man society, are to be found there in
their most repulsive forms. The Greek
and the Arab, the Italian nnd the
Armenian, the Frenchman and the
Turk, the American and the Malay,
are nil there jumbled together in a
motley mass of cosmopolitan iniquity.
They are all the worst specimens of
their respective races, and among them
i. of course, the ubiquitous English
man, as bud as any.
Naturally It is not Intended to Imply
that there are not respectable people In
Port Said, hecause there are some, and
of these most believe that a year or two
of compulsory residence there would be
taken as the equivalent of a very con
siderable? sojourn in purgatory, for it
is certainly on of the worst spots on
earth, if not absolutely the worst, for
an honest man to fall Into. To begin
with, the climate is simply deadly, and
from the beginning of May to the end
of September it Is little better than a
fever den, in which it Is supposed to be
Impossible to keep both sober nnd
healthy. It has been said by those who
ought to know that five out of every
six average men who go to live at Port
Said die of fever or delirium tremens
or some other excess within a few
years, financially as well as physically
ruined. Drinking, gambling and gen
eral iniquity form either the amuse
ment or the occupation, when they are
not the livelihood, of four-llfths of the
population.

soon as the cold manifests Itself. When
the cold reaches the lungs or bronchial
