M. C. A. gave their first annual reception to all of the young people's societies of the town. The social committee was out in full to welcome the guests, and a register of each one was taken as they arrived.

A very excellent programme was rendered, prominent among which were the following: Solos bv Miss Myrtle Douglass; instrumental music by Miss Blanche Ebei Mr. Ralph Westbrooke, Mr. Robert Leighty, find a recitation by Master Chester Kirk, all of whom were encored repeatedly. The principal feature of the evening was the social half hour, at which time games of different kinds were played and refreshments served. The evening was rather unfavorable, but nevertheless the attendance was excellent.

Perhaps what stimulated such a good attendance on such a bad evening was the presenting of a banner to the society having the best percentage of attendance. The banner was captured by the Society of St. John's Lutheran Church, their percentage being 02. with the Presbyterian a close second, having a per ci ntsge of GO. Every one expressed themselves as very well pleased with the evening's entertainment.

The social committee can feel very well pleased with the success of their effort. Will Try It Again. Several months ago a successful effort was made to organize a fire company in the eastern end of the borough. Everything went along peaceably until the election of officers, when a few men conspir ed, it was said, for political purposes, and defeated the nominees and elected men who had never hoen nominated. This act disrupted the organization and it went to pieces.

Now another effort is being made to organize, but care is being taken of the selections. Keeking? Sicw Fields.

Spiirrow l'oint The British steamship Sandhill has sailed from Sparrow's Point with 1,800 tons of 83 pound steel rails for Bombay, India, and the schooner Major Pickands sailed for Barbados with 1.500 tons of rails and fittings. Both ports are British, and heretofore only English made steel rails have been used there. It is announced that an order is being filled for 2.500 tons of 83 pound sU el rails for a railroad in Ireland, and English inspectors are now inspecting the rails at Sparrow's Point preparatory to shipment. This new business is looked upon here as the entering wedge for further orders in that direction, the presumption being based upon the fact that while American steel rails are selling at $1S a ton, the English pries is $23.

One of the English inspectors, after having made complete inspection of the Sparrow's Point Works, re marked that in point of equipment that mill was fifty years in advance of any similar mill in England.

Iino. Washington, Nov. 20. The apprehen sion which manifested itself some time ago ever the attitude of Aguinaldo and the Philippine insurgent, has not entirely dis appeared, although the administration be lieves they will accept the situation without any conflict with the United States. The matter was discussed at the Cabinet meeting to day and some of the views presscd indicated a possibility that the surgents may vet have to be dealt with.

On the whole, however, the President expects that serious trouble with Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at the same lime lias g.uarueu against an out break by taking precautionary measures. The American force already in occupancy of part of the Philippines is regarded as altogether adequate to cope with any emergency that mav arise and the luture government of the islands came; up incidentally and Secretary Alger made some suggestions as to details of a military government of the islands. Grand ma'it I'cnnermiiita. There was a certain family in which the worker became interested. Though very poor, their rooms were clean, and thoy were very fqnd of one another, especially of the old grandmother, who had not been long in this country.

The church people were very desirous of assisting them, as the children always attended Sunday school and were well brought up; so the district visitor was instructed to look out for them. This she did, seeing that they had a modest allow anco of groceries, coal enough to keep them from freezing, and so on. She did not give them money, as that was contrary to her methods except in special casos, but she was going ontof town for week, and so left with the mother .50 cents for emergencies. This is what they told her they did with it: "The weather was so fine, and grandma had never seen the shops here. 1 knew," said the mother, "that they must be dressed handsome for Easter, so I took grandma and the children down town in the electric cars and let them see all the stores.

That cost 40 cents down and back, and with the 10 cents left I bought grandma some peppermints." Boston Herald. Itita of Tin. "An ordinary political campaign," said a novelty manufacturer, "is not an unmitigated evil to all branches of trade. Among those that profit by it are the tin can manufacturers. Most of the campaign buttons are made of tin, and when a big political struggle is expected the makers send out agents through the tin factories of the eouth to buy up all tbo, waste tin and useless cans they can find to make their buttons with.

Most of the campaign buttons are made in Newark, and tho amount paid by the makers to the can factories, particularly thosocf Baltimore, is considerable, even though the tin is waste, if anything can bo called waste nowadays. "Xor is the tin wasto useless, even when no political excitement is on. I know a man who visits Baltimore at regular intervals and buys all tbo scrap tin ho can find and Hells it to the button makers. It is used for the backing of ordinary buttons. Any day in parts of Brooklyn you cau see wagons loaded with scrap tin and old cans.

KEELY MOTOR'S FATE MYSTERY OF THE STRANGE MACHINE NOT DISCLOSED. Preparations Were Ilelnar Made to Apply For Patent on Keely'a Intentions, bat Were Sot Carried. Out. Ilia Many Experiments. The death of John Ernst Keely, who posed as the disooverer of tbe secret of disintegrating molecules by the vibration of musical tones and thereby liberating a force unknown in the present bonndaries of science, bae left doubt as to whether the nature of his alleged secret will be revealed.

Mr. Keely 's widow is now in ill health. He had no children. It cannot be ascertained whether he left a will, or whether he committed to any living person the key to bis alleged strange discovery in dynamics. The Keely Motor Stock company organized to develop his experiments has lapsed into a stage of suspense, from all appearances.

The organization still exists, with a president and four or five directors living in New York and a secretary and one director living in Philadelphia. A corporate office is maintained in the attic of a brick building in Philadelphia. Keely was an expert in the theory and art of music. He was a master of the theory of harmony. He was not only an instrumentalist, but a composer, and in that attainment lay the primary element of his alleged discov ery.

This was a strange relation or affinity between the forces of nature and harmonic forces. He said he had discovered a eympathetio vibration connecting the waves of sound with the disturbance of the moleoulesof matter and also bad found in the traces of this peculiar disturbance an energy unknown to the sphere of dynamics. His first experiments were made with drops of water in a vacuum. The first mechanical property he developed from this series of experiments was tbe force of adhesive attraction, which he assumed in his own statements to be related to the polar currents of the earth. Next he developed, he has aid, the force of propulsion, revealing a positive as well as negative energy.

Just as the chemical separation of the molecules of water produces electrio magnetism he pursned the theory that the disintegration of these molecules, which he said he had accomplished, produced, by the eympathetio vibration of tones, a subtle and higher force correlated with magnetism. He went so far as to advance the startling proposition that tbe rotation of planets in their orbits was produced by the alternating power of atomic energy. He said he had pursued the analyeis of his theme to the eighth power, where he reaohed the substance of luminosity, and there, without attempting to theorize further on tbe origin of things universal, he stopped and put all his skill and mental resources to the task of harnessing the power of atoms to the economy of life. years ago, abont half the period of his he abaa doned the molecules of water as tbe baeis of his task and directed his attention solely to the molecules of air. He said that in the course of this work he had produced a dynamic energy of 10, 000 pounds to the inch in a Torricellian vacuum.

He said he could exhaust the air from a tube, getting a vacuum aa nearly perfect ae could be effected, and generate a force that could fire a gun or move tons of inertia. He gave experiments of this nature at Sandy Hook proving station in 1888 in the presence of Lieutenant Zalinski and other students of science, some of whom were profound skeptics and insisted on the theory that Keely usec nothing but compressed air. Whatever the substance was that Keely carried in a steel tube, it was apparently inexhaustible, the projective force of the nineteenth and last shot boing greater than any of the preoeding ones, a circumstance that strangely combated the theory of compressed air. It would require a book to tell of the series of mechanisms which Keely de vised to convert this mysterious atomic energy so called to the industrial and commercial activities of the world. He died without effecting this purpose, and whether or not the secret or formula of generating this supposed disturbance of iuteratomio energy died with him yet remains to be told.

The apparatus with which Keely conducted his alleged experiments is the property of the Keely Motor company. Apart from that he left a great mass of manuscript relating to the progress of his experiments, which is the property of his estate and can only bo disposed of in the administration of his effects. No patents were ever secured with devices whi't Keely invented. Charles B. Collier, a lawyer of Philadelphia, was retained by Keely and his company in 1896 to apply for letters patent oa the Keely inventions.

Detailed drawings were made und elaborate provisional specifications were written. The designs wero never completed in a form to bo submitted to the patent oHice. Some months ago Mr. Collier, observing Keely' failing health, suggested some plan for preserving Keely'g secret in the event of death. He proposed that a crucial test of Kouly'a mechanisms should be made in the presence of himself, of Lancaster Thomas, a director of the company, and of George H.

Howard, a patent attorney at Washington, so that they could dismantle, adjust and operate tbe devices a. Keely did. The i proposition was submitted to the board of directors on Oct. 8 last and tabled. Mr.

Collier then withdrew from his professional relations with Keely and tbe company. Ho far as Mr. Collier knows no provision has been left by Keely for disclosing tbe secret of his motor, and the only legacy of tbo corporation may be the mechanical ap paratus in Keely's workshop, minus the i secret, by which alone it might be operated.
