There is no new general social an
nouncement to make. While It Is truo
that many families will next week re
turn from their summer outings, there
are reasons why the home-coming does
not Indicate any great activity. The
most apparent reason appears in the
unusually largo number of families in
mourning. Added to this Is tho proti
ablllty that tho most nrdent social
spirits will not return until toward tho
close of the month.
No events of any unusual Import
have recently occuncd. are now about
to occur or will occur In tho Imme
diate future.
Tho Country club is in a quandry
ns to what it will do with Its tennis
championship cups. Tho singles em
blem was won last year by Norman
MoLeod, since died, and the doubles
cup by John Drooks and Fred I. Ful
ler. The conditions wero that either
trophy had to be won three times, not
necessarily consecutively, to bo held
permanently.
At present there Is not much more
Interest In tennis than thcro Is In to
bogcanlng. Interest In golf has In
creased and' tennis Is hardly thought
of. For this reason It Is believed that
while ii tourney could of course be
given the lark of entries would mnko
It uneventful. The matter was recent
ly referred to the tennis committee,
P. I. Linen, C. II. "Welles, Jr., and W.
J. Tnrrey for some recommendation as
to Its solution.
Usually at this tlmo of the year
Bachelors ball speculation begins or
the committee discusses Us plans In
formally. John Brooks and Frank
Fuller aro the only members of the
committee of five In town. Worth
Ecranton Is In Europe; Paul Eelln is
engaged In business at Buffalo, and
Joe Boles is dead. Tn the absence of
any discussion of plans by the com
mittee it Is not surprising that others
know nothing about the matter.

Features of Life
at Block Island.
You good people who have never
visited Block Island have certainly
missed much. After the flat nnd mon
otonous Jersey const so familiar to
most dwellers In this region, the in
finite variety of this gem of the sea Is
something that age cannot wither nor
custom stale. Of course the sea Is
never monotonous and the waves of
the Atlantic come In with a mightier
roll on the Jersey shore than oven here,
where the noble cliffs and the frown
ing rocks jiso unending stretches of
picturesque beauty. But there Is some
thing In this Irrogulnr, deeply Indented
isolated spot of earth green ns old Iro
Innd that holds u fascination impossi
ble to describe.
Block Island Is unique. Tho Inter
mingling of the old and the new con
stantly uppenls to tho visitor. For In
stance, there Is the New Harbor,
spick, span, clenn nnd up-to-date, with
Its long pier und mass of carriages and
docks nenrly always occuried by the
Shinnecock or another of tho big
steamers of the New York or New Lon
don line, brave, with pennants and
flags. The Old Harbor Is far more In
teresting, crowded with cat boats and
other craft, big and little. Upon the
wharfs sit groups of bronzed fisher
men with the mystery of the sea In
their eyes and tho murks of wind nnd
tempest on their battered faces. Lob
ster crates, wrecked boats, the long
fishing pier, the great stone break
water and the bluffs beyond form a
picture that one cherishes dear nnd
sweet In memory.
But If one Is to begin telling of the
plctuiesque scenes on Block Island the
limit will bo hard to reach. For the
views from every point nretxquislte.
A favorite point of Interest Is the old
mill, whero for more than one hundred
and fllty years the grain was ground
for tho Islanders. It Is a good example
of the old Dutch mill, shingled from
top to bottom, with the sails broken
and one arm standing out lonely,
stripped of its bars nnd pointing for
lornly, Ilko n prophetic finger, to the
graveyard on the hillside, where tho
"rude forefathers of tho village sleep."
This old mill has been deserted for
years. One of the stons lies under a
corner where the shingles aro dropping
ono by one. Within, tho rickety stnlrs
lead to the second floor where tho
empty hoppir and the lonely wheel
above tell of the distant past. The en
tire roof turns about with the wind
which sets the sail, and Its hooded
front droops down pathetically, ns If It
would shut out from view the Invasion
of the new life of tho outside world,
Tho entrance to the mill linn been
baned, but u succession of enterpris
ing tourists have made an Inadequate
npjraturo where very indefatigable
slght-seers may climb through with In
finite discomfort and remarkable con
tortions. The other day u party had
climbed the second pair of stairs nnd
after an exhaustive view of the queer
Interior hud painfully emerged lrom
the said aperature all except one a
fair maiden. Now tho exit is mado
with fnr moio dllllculty than tho en
trance, for it must lie accomplished
feet foremost. Th pietty girl had put
one foot forward probably her best
when her companions outside
screamed, "Don't come out! There's a
camera man fixing to tako you." She
struggled to adjust herself for a mora
conventional pose and that wretched
enmera man calmly Inquired, "Would
you like to have the picture taken
with one foot out that way or do you
prefer both''" The feelings of tho
squirming young woman, vainly en
deavoring to cover nn expansive ex
tent or tan stocking with her skirts
nnd unable to get nt or oven see her
porsecutor, muy be Imagined.
Tho camera fiend surely never had
such a paradise of opportunities as ut
Block Island, for thire Is no one to
molest or make him afraid, There aro
no regulations, no orders or any sort,
so he goes about blissfully snapping at
everything and oveiybody, and tho vic
tims. In bathing suits und other un
aesthetlc ntttre and conditions seem to
recognize the futility of protests.
The beautiful rock const Is a limit
less delight. "Pebbly" beach, with its
strand thickly strewn with stones of
tho richest hues and lovely specimens
of sea-weed, and with its huge bould

ers far out In the surf, Is a favorite re
sort beneath the bluff whero tho mag
nificent 500-roomed Occnn View Hotel
lifts its verandas and towers. This
portion of the island, as well as Mo
began Bluffs, the South Light, Beacon
Head nnd other points, are favorite
resorts of the artist and the photo
grapher. Tho Block Island native Is distinctly
slow. Even the mosquitoes, nnd they
have n few there this summer, a most
unusual circumstance. They are de
liberate In their movements, not at all
llko the lovely Insect familiar to Scran
tnniiins, but they wait placidly to be
smitten by the heavy hand of the
avenger, and do not even buzz. There
nro many natives who have never been
off the Island, and, of course, have
never seen a railway train. They wero
seized with consternation when the lit
tle street railway connecting the two
harbors was laid In July, nnd were
much exercised lest thlr steady old
horses would be frightened by the In
novation. The cars nie about ns large
as the Hotel Jermyn bus, and nro
drawn by horses, and surely enough
the other horses of the Island are ter
rorized by the sight. Next year, vhen
the trolley is erected, they will proba
bly follow the example of the Biblical
sv.ine nnd run down a steep place Into
the sea. Ox teams are popular among
tho farming inhabitants, and they arc
nttnrhcd to wagons which appear to
run upsldo down and rcersod ns to
ends, for the small wheels are placed
last.
Some of the eplnphs In the Island
giaveyard are unique. One reads:
"Here lies our darling baby boy;
Ho never cries or hollers;
He lived with us Just six short weeks,
And cost us forty dollars."
The Woonsocket House is a popular
place for Scrantonlans. It is the most
delightfully comfortublo home Pnugln
nble. and Is owned by a family named
Rose, one of the few original owners of
the Island. There have been Roses,
Balks, Rodgers, Llttleflelds and Rays
almost ever since old Adrian Blok dis
covered it In 1011. Sirs. A. J. Rose,
who Is chief in charge, Is n charming
person, cultured and refined, Is an
Ideal hostess,. Everybody likes her
und she makes all so happy that they
go again year after year. Among tho
prominent guests is Sir. H. P. Cham
berlain, the well-known Standard Oil
man of Buffalo, who with his family
have spent many summers hero,
Sornntonlans here this season have
been Sir, and Sirs. Rice, Sir. and Mrs.
Pelllo, Mr. and Sirs. S. R. Henwood,
W. a. Brudburj, SI. E. O'Slalley, SIlss

Sir. and Sirs. Heeley, Sir. Warner nnd
SIlss Ellen Senile, Montrose; John Wil

Another great point of Interest Is tho
vicinity of the Valll Cottages, tho
beautiful spot whero Rev. Dr. and Sirs.
C. E. Robinson spend much of their
summers. At present the Sllsses Mat
tel, of Scranton, are also guests there.
Beyond everything Block Island Is
cool, Thero are no land breezes, for
there Is but little breadth of land, nnd
during the extreme weather of this
summer the dwellers hero have known
nothing nbout the suffocating heat.
Thin gowns are little worn and heavy
bed-clothing has been used Invariably
every night.
Todav (Thursday) the weird doleful
notes of the fog horn aro heard after a

remains of the old Scranton Rowing
association were gently laid at rest.
What was once a power, both socially
and politically. Is now no more. For
the past twenty-five years the Scran
ton Rowing association nourished like
the green bay tiee. Suddenly without
wnrnlng It Is felled to the ground by
the cruel axeman's competition and to
day its personal effects lire being des
secrated by u standing advertisement
In the dally papers of a public sale a
few days hence.
It were ever thus todav we are on
the top round of the ladder of power
nnd fume, tomorrow we lay crushed
and mangled at the bottom.
As the writer looks back over the
past quarter of a century and beholds
again the many stirring events through
which the dear old association passed.
always ut the front In social and ben
evolent enterprises, successful In all
Its undertakings, It Is with a heavy
breast and a tear stained eye that he
beholds Its sudden demise. He pictures
the different boats, manned by gallant
crews, with eye und nerve strained to
win the race, us the 'iraceful craft
glided over the culm stained waters
of the old Providence mill dam. Later,
as the dam so filled with refuse from
the mines thut the fleets bottoms be
came fouled and could no more ply the
waters of the Lackawannn, the associ
ation was dry docked, as It were, but
was soon launched again as n social
squadron to blockade all harbors and
entrances to the social world on the
Scranton coast of this once noble
stream.
The writer once more beholds tho ns
soclntlon In black faces and full dress
suits on the Academy of Music stage,
presided over by the dignified and brll
llnnt Interlocutor, T. Frank Penman.
To his right on the extreme end sat
George Slltchelt nnd Tom Sloore who
with unusual skill manipulated the
bone, and on his extreme left sat Dolph
Atlierton und Will Rockwell, each of
whom rattled and spun the tamboiines
In good oldDockstaJer fashion. "Walt"
Dickson, "Bob ' Scranton, Charlie San
derson, Harry Kingsbury, Geo. Dewitt,
Everett Warren and n number of other
equally notoilous charucters.whlcli tho
writer does not, nt the moment, call
to mind, all under the able nnd ef
ficient management of Marlon Stuart
Cann, occupied a conspicuous place
among the noted artists on the stage.
And last but by no means least In the
background of this grand and Inspiring
scone, was the Inimitable "Bob" Bau
er and his superb orchestra, with now
and sparkling uniforms, purchased for
tho occasion, all of which went to
make up a scene nt beauty and gran
deur never to be forgotten by the vast
multitude of spectators who were for
tunate enough to procure standing
room or pay seventy-five cents for a
scat In tho "peanut."
The writer can yet hear the echo of
the tumultuous applause as tho fresh
and original Jokes of tho end men
were cracked In quick succession.
When the typical red apple was hurled
on the stage from tho gallery, by "Boss
Bums" at somo Joko made at his ex
pense, the audience went wild with de
light and enthusiasm. Nor does ho
forget the dignified and sedute Everett
Wirren in his "Chinese" specialty.
Thero was 'a hot time In the old town
that night" and no mistake. And eight
hundred dollars wero thus added to tli
all ready over-loaded (V) treasury of
the association.
Crowned with success at this Its first
attempt In the theatrical business, tho
association was again, at a later date,
greeted by a packed house to wltnesi
another minstrel performance, but In
the words of the poet, "there ate somo
things 'tis better not to dwell upon,"
Financially this undertaking wns a
big success, otherwise not. It wus a
case of "big head" from the manage
ment down to tho super nnd served to
adorn tlio various professions with uble

Slany were tho enjoyablo dances,

soclatlon In the hall at 421 Lackawan

continued lncronsing membership, the
dwelling ut tho corner of Wyoming
avenue nnd Slulbarry street was rent
ed. The move was tho beginning of
the end. Tho association's social fea
tures, so fur as the ladles wero con
cerned, wero no longer possible as It
had there assumed the prerogatives
of a club by the Introduction of certain
features not calculated to Interest tho
lalier sex.
When the new block at 412 Spruce
street was erected a lease was made
by the Rowing club for three floors,
which wero planned especially for the
dub and furnished In a very urtlstlo
anil handsome manner. It wns In theso
quarters that the Inst days of the old
Rowing association were spent, and In
these rooms it quietly passed away.
"Billy" Welsh, Milton Lowry, ex
Postmaster Vnndllng. S'.ayor Bailey,
Select Councilman Chittenden and
Park Commissioner Bedford wero the
chief mourners. From Us membership
congressmen, senators, representatives,
mayors, sheriffs, eouncllmen and var

servants have been chosen. The tariff,
war and all other Important public
questions have received due considera

membership of tho club nnd such ques

of President SlcKinley and his cabinet.
But why go on. Volumes could bt

this once grand and powerful organ

Scientific Light Shed on This Quito
Important Question.
AV. O. Atwnter, Ph. D., professor o
chemistry in Wesleynn university, in
n pamphlet Issued under the auspices
of the United States department o
agriculture, says: The chief uses oC
food uio two: To form the material
of the body and repair its wastes; to
yield heat to keep the body warm and
to provide muscular and other power
for the work It has to do. Dr. Atwatec
lias prepared two tables showing, first,
tho composition of food materials, tho
most Important of which are tho nu
tritive Ingredients and their fuel value:'
second, the pecuniary economy of food.
In which the amount of nutrients la
stated in pounds. In tho first table wo
find that butter has the greatest fuel
value, fat pork coming second, and the
balance of tho foods mentioned being
vulued as fuel In tho following order:
Cheese, oatmeal, sugar, rice, beans,
cornmeal, wheat, flour, wheat bread,
leg of mutton and beef sirloin, round
of beef, mackerel, salmon. Codfish,
oysters, cow's milk and potatoes st.iml
very low us fuel foods.
From tho second tahle wo learn that
the greatest nutrltlvo vnluo In anyklnJ
of food of a specified value (Dr. Atwat
er takes 23 cents' worth of every kind
of food considered,) Is found In corn
meal. In 10 pounds- of cornmeal thera
nre a trlflo more than S pounds of ac
tual nutriment. In 8 1-3 pounds of
wheat Hour there are over G pounds
of nutriment: In 0 pounds of white
sugar thero nro 4ij pounds of nutri
ment; In 5 pounds of beans there nre
4 pounds of nutriment; in 20 pounds of
potatoes there nro SK pounds of nutri
ment; In 23 cents' worth of fat salt
pork there aro 3V6 pounds of nutriment;
In the sarno value of wheat bread thera

pounds; In skim-mllk cheese, 1
pounds; In whole milk cheese, a trifle
more thnn 114 pounds; In butter, 1H
pounds, and In smoked hnm and leg of
mutton about the same; In milk, a
