The general consensus regarding the past season seems to be that it was an eminently pleasant one. Other winters have, perhaps, been gayer, but inevitably brought the re- action of spring and summer dullness. This year society ha. not danced its gowns to rags and its pumps to ruins. With sufficient to amuse throughout and a special bonne bouehe of liveliness in the last week or two of tbe season there remains hope lor Mi-Careme and Eastertide. As usual many will seek a change before long and will" go north and south, east and west in pursuit of it. A great many people leave for the south almost at once, but their absence is only temporary. Tho majority of departures will not take place for at least a couple of months and considerable entertainment may bo looked for in the interval. Some weddings and the festivals peculiar to Purim -are among the features of the near future.

Once upon a time, the exact date of which cannot be recalled, the poet, James Russel Lowell, suddenly and without warning, after the manner of poets and other in- spired thinkers, rapturously exclaimed: "What is so rare as a day in June?" * There was no one there to hear Mr. Lowell exclaim, but the remark, with sev- eral others, subsequently found its way into the papers, where it attracted widespread attention, both on account of the sentiment expressed and a certain ambiguity of meaning. V "... Yesterday was a rare day in March. None could have been rarer anywhere but in the glorious climate of California; here tbe ten- derest flower and the midsummer vest bloom side by side before the chilblain season closes in less favored regions. As if by one! impulse the population 'of Sau Francisco fled from the confines of its four walls to Golden Gate Park, holding on to a perspiring child with one hand and a street-car strap with the other. A CROtVDED TAItK. They poured in. from all directions, thou- sands of them, until tha spacious park was actually crowded. Everybody that could walk, creep or crawl, be carried in arms or go on wheels, moved in endless procession, dressed in their best suit of clothes, along the rust-colored drives and pathways that thread the park like an old-gold tracing on a background of green. Back and forth -they went through the tunuel and over the new red bridge iv end- less cavalcade. Fat old ladies waddled and rolled laboiiousiy along under the blazing sun, accompanied by stout elderly gentle- men, some of them with hard, toil-stained hands, who, bent on enjoying that rare day in March to the utmost, actually came to Golden Gate Park of a Sunday without their collars. First they listened to the band play au air, which might or might not have been as fresh as that Which blew in from the sea, but none noted the difference, if any ex- isted. Then they went to the hydrant, where they watered the children. Next they sat on the crass to rest and watch other "folks tire themselves out; strolled round to where the elephants perform; stopped to look at the ducks in a pond near the Height— treet entrance and then went off home refreshed in mind if not in body, and lully impressed with the belief that by the time oue of those rare days iv June rolls round it will, in the light of previous events, be looked upon as a chestnut. As is customary in all large gntherines the man who knows it all was at the park ready to diffuse general information regard- less of his own time or personal conveni- ence and on the slightest provocation. He was loafing near the pond where the ducks, as is their wont, were -lauding ou their heads In the water with their faces buried in the mud at the bottom, and with stubby tails waving in the air like signals of dis- tils. A CHILD'S CURIOSITY. A little child also standing near asked her mamma why the ducks acted that way. The mother replied that she didn't ex- actly know, and then the wise man spoke up: "If you'll excuse me, madam," he said, "I'll tell the little girl all about it." The mother said she would be delighted, so the man went ahead and aired his knowl- edge. "You see. little girl, ducks are furnished with appetites— debt they owe to nature Mag they stick their heads under water in order to liquidate their bills." The little gilt and her mamma said "Oh." and passed . ii to the next bird, which hap- pened to be the pelican. According to scientists a fish diet in- creases the brain power; but the pelican, which lives exclusively on fl-h, is not MS ticularly noted for is intelligence. On ti.e contrary, it is extremely stupid iv some respects. Sometimes, when resting on the bunks of tho pond, it places one of its large pan-like feet on top Of the other, thus standing on itself for bouts. 'Ihis dense biped thinks it is rooted to the spot, and so firm is its conviction on tin. point that it remains motionless until the bird-keeper comes round and pushes the stupid pelican from off itself. . ... In one respect the pelican is the brainiest bird of its species, and that is in carrying a lunch when it takes a journey inland. The focd is carried in the lunch-bag with which the under side of the bill is provided. SWANS DBAS* 1 li F. COI.OIt LINK. The swans which inhabit this same pond are perhaps the brainiest bipeds on record. There are two kinds of swans in the pond- black and white— like the featherings bipeds who are supposed to reason, they have drawn a color line whi-h is sharply defined by a row of rocks across the middle of the pond. Race prejudice exists, but as yet no deadly conflicts have been ret.orted. . The blacks stay closely in their end of the pond and the whites in theirs. They never mingle, but view each other with lofty disdain, most of which disdain, however, is on the part of the whites. The water in both ends of the pond is the same, and as yet tlie nil- Ready for the Ball. JEWELS OF THE FAR EAST. Wlmt th« Tri'Mnro Chambers of Ilin- dnnfttnn l:<-\ *\u25a0:.'.

Animals and Locomotives. Boston Bud_reLg»|-jMg|Wjj-E_ra In a German engineering journal a writer contrasts the behavior of different animals toward steam machinery thm: The ox, that proverbially stupid animal, stands com- posedly on the track of a railway, without having any idea of the danger that threatens him; dogs run among the wheels of a de- partment railway train without suffering any injury, and birds seem to take a partic- ular delight inthe steam engine. Larks often build their nests and rear their young under the switches of a railway over which heavy trains are constantly rolling, and swallows make their home in encine-houses. A pair of swallows have reared their young for a year in a. mill where a noisy SCO-horse- power engine is working night and day, and another pair have built a neat in the paddle- box of a steamer.

It appears that during the past summer be put in a month at a lake resort in the North- west, and there fell In love with a girl who didn't believe in reciprocity.' His persist- ence, however, was iv do wise abated by a thing like that. . One day the girl fell off the dock into the lake, and the young man. being somewhat of an athlete and a swimmer, jumped in and rescued her without much difficulty. " Now," he said, as she stood dripping on the dock, "I have saved your life aud you must marry "me." "Marry you?" she repeated' in bewilder- ment "Must 1?" i " It's as little as you could do," he whis- pered, putting out his hands to her. She gave him one look as lie stood there all draggled and sloppy, and with a smoth- ered shriek she plunged into the flood once more. The next time she was rescued by a hoy in a boat, and the young man was so mad he sent a bill to her father for a new suit of clothes. DISSENTING CLUB MEN. An Impending; Split in the Pacific- Union Ranks. The Ycung Ken Growing Restive Because of the Conservatism Displayed by tin Elder Members. The Pacific-Union Club is in the throes of a revolution. For some time, in fact, there have been murmurs of discontent iv the old organization and the mutterings have not always been in the most decorous style, but now there is every prospect of an open re- volt, and it is likely that the near future will witness a complete rupture between the contending elements. Now, tbe Pacific- Union" Club Is, or has been for some years at least, a most con- servative and dignified organization, fur- nishing in its rooms on Post street a haven of retreat for those whose millions entitled them to the privilege of dining in luxury nod lounging at ease, and the fitful cares of the great outside world have never— that is, hardly ever—been allowed to penetrate its exquisitely draped wall;, It was and Is, for that matter, the most exclusive of the clubs of Sau Francisco, and on its rolls to- day are the names of the wealthiest of the city's mouied men. THE YOUNGSTERS IMPATIENT. Among the hitter are many men who are getting on in years and who, as a conse- quence have grown conservative. The lat- ter trail is a most admirable on-' in many ways, but it seems to have grown distaste- ful to the younger and more progressive cle- ment. This is just where tbo trouble has occurred. Some time ago the young men became restive aud thteuteued to lake the bit in their teeth. This was only smiled at by the older men, but the youngsters grew more turbulent and arc now contemplating move that may disrupt the old club en- tirely. Said one of the yonns: men last night: "I do not care to he quoted in the matter, as my father is one of the old fellows who have done everything to keep the club in a rut, but you may rest assured that something is going to happen. You see, a few years ago when t_M Pacific and the Union clubs con- solidated, a great many of the solid men of the town came togetiier, and SB they were in the majority they had things pretty much their own way. They held all the office:*, tilled out the committees, managed the finances, and did things just as they pleased. TIME .BROUGHT HO RELIEF. "As time went by they grew older with- out realizing it themselves, nnd as a natural result they grow more conservative. They still held the balance of power, however, and changes in the mode of conducting the club were not to be thought of. Now, tins was not at all to the taste of the younger element, nt d the result has been that the latter have grown very tired of affairs as at preseut conducted. "home time ago, In consequence of this feeling, Henry T. Scott headed a movement to spin nil from tne old organization and form a new one on more modern principles. The ideo, of course, has not yet been con- summated, but it is well under way, and it is safe to say that it will not be lone until the young men withdraw their allegiance from tho old brdy and form a club of their own that will be modeled to suit their more progressive notions. A RUMOR Mill. "The rumor that a mooting of Ihe dis- senters bad been held *•_. true, but it is not a fact that plans for \u25a0 buildiug have been discussed. The matter has not advanced so far as that as yet. but itprobably will reach that stage in a very short time.'' The trouble- in the club is not entirely new, but seems to be the outcome of the old feeling between the Pacifies and the Unions, as well as a battle for the suprem- acy of modern tastes. When the two clubs were consolidated it. was prophesied that the union would not be permanent, and the prediction seems about to be fulfilled. open some old marmalade jar or sardine box taken from the groat barred vault and turn out of this unlikely receptacle, rolled up in an ancient red or green rag, such a belt of sapphires and diamonds, such a diadem of oriental rubles, such a bracelet or anklet or ring for the nose or finger that must have made the eyes of any lady who had a proper and becoming passion for the beautiful things sparkle like jewels them- selves. ._-\u25a0 -„.-- ST.

At tbe meeting of tho Convention of Irish- American Societies, held at K. R. li. Hall yesterday, the arrangements for the cele- bration of the anniversary of St. Patrick on March 17 were nearly completed. One more meeting will be held on Sunday next, and special invitations will be issued by cir- cular, calling on all society delegates to at- teud, as a long and important session is an- ticipated. ;^&ggSKa James K. Kelly called the meeting to order, nearly an hour after time. The dele- gates then present did not number a dozen, but there was a full representation before the meeting closed. B3_S__PBH___PS The Committee on Literary Exercises re- ported progress. They held a meeting after the close of .the session, hut the arrange- ments cannot he completed before next Sunday, as "many of the "talent" expected to assist will not he in town before the day of the celebration. 'Hie Printing Committee, through E. J. Coffey, reported 3000 81 tickets. aooO-g cent tickets and 200 half-sheet bills printed. 1. B. Bannerman notified the meeting that Dan O'Coanell had accepted an invita- tion to act as poet and T. J. Clunie as orator of the day. In the latter** letter of acceptance it was intimated that be would embrace the opportunity of paving an ap- propriate tribute to the memory of General Fun Sheridan. Mr. liauuerman also announced that i rank Shea, the architect, though unable to be present at the celebration, bad prom- ised to arrange for a steieopticon view of Sheridan iv the famous Winchester charge, and that Mr. Tobin would recite tho poem commemorative of the ride. THE MOMUE.NT COMMITTEE. A considerable amount of discussion of a purely friendly character was created when the question of the General Philip H. Sheri- dan Monument Committee was brought up. At the meeting un the 21st tilt, the conven- tion had due-ted a committee of 100 to be selected by the President, Vice-President and other officers for the purpose of receiv- ingdonations and the proceeds of the cele- bration, as a contribution to the erection in Golden Gate Park of un appropriate monu- ment to General Philip H. Sheridan. The chair intimated that after conversa- tion with an experienced public official he had reached the conclusion that $2000 would bo the outside limit of the -amount to be de- rived from the celebration, ana suggested that an effort should be made to place £5000 at least in the bauds ol the committee of ICO, which lie thought would be easy if the press could be pot to notice the matter. '" Mr. Bnn_MOSSsa took "thir opportunity of deprecating the publication ot the names of lbs committee of 100 before the morning of the celebration, as an attempt bad MSB made, tor some unknown purpose, by one newspaper to obtain tbesu names for pub- lication exclusively. - Ihe Chair promptly gave the assurance that nothing of ibe ktud would be per- mitted. A VARIED EXPERIENCE. It was finally uuderstood, after General O'Byrne had spoken at some length, that the monument matter should be left to the committee of HE, increased by a unanimous rots to 'JOO. General O'Uyrue evoked loud laughter by a facetious allusion to his own experience of monument funds. He said that When lie lived in Philadelphia one Bardslev —now* wearing stripes— had been connected with an American party movement for a monument to George Washington and the Quaker City. Tim site is there now and a iron grows on it, and the lew stones laid, but no one knows what bus become of thu money, la New York he was one of those who contributed $.V) to the fl*jHT collected for a monument to General Grunt, but tbe iiioiiuuirui has uever nut. \u25a0_. At the same turn he considered that this monu- ment to General Sheridan could and should be erected, but he was in favor of leaving it to the committee ot IU)to gel the funds an \u25a0 nut making it a pari of the St. Patrick', day celebration. lv response to a motion, the delegates from tbe societies present agreed to lake fifty tickets each for the celebration, on sale or return. BANgiK.T AXI) 15 Y. 1.. During the s.-_sioti of the convention an auxin meeting of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 2, was held at Irish- Americau Hall under the presidency of J. J. Mee.nui.

The Committee on Talent made a report that should till the hearts of professional elocutionists and musicians with gladness. They stated that they had been unable to obtaiu volunteers for tho entertainment on St. Patrick's day, and asked permission to biro talent. After a brief discussion this permission was granted.

It was decided to appoint a committee of eleven to tugged the names ol 100 citizens who should be deputed to obtain funds for the Parnell Monument in Glasneviu Ceme- tery. - \u25a0 : * SE AGOAST SLUGGERS. General furMi'i ft— aeitaHe l'laii for the Defense or NVw Turk. A Pittsburg Dispatch Special. . An entirely new plan for the defense of New York City and the harbor against a hostile fleet is under consideration by tne Committee on Coast Defenses of the United States Senate. It is a plan with some strik- ing feature?, which appeal to the Imagina- tion of the ordinary unscientific citizen, and has been before military and naval experts for several mouths. It is before Congress at the Instance of the Adjutant General's office of the State of New Jersey, and of committees of the Chamber, if Commerce and Board of Trade appointed to look after the matter of the defense of the city. •'•». ' If the invention willdo all that is claimed for it, a big load will be taken iff the minds of many New Yorkers.- The invention is electrical. . \u0084," What Is claimed for the invention. In a few words is this: If any hostile ship or fleet attempted to enter this harbor/ as it crossed any given line, say the li% fathom line in the outer bay, a blow of 50,000 foot- tons could be struck upon each ship, which would effectually put any .vessel now afloat out of the way of doing damage to New York City, or to anything . else. The bio ; would come from overhead, out of the air, would strike vertically and with absolute certainty. . Itcould be directed at any. part of ; the surface >of the \u25a0 ship, _ and would be aimed at the spot where it would do the most and surest damage. Twenty of these 50,000-foot-ton blows could be struck in ten seconds of time. > The 6%-fathom line , is distant . about * fourteen miles from the City Hall and twelve miles from the built-up purls of Brooklyn. Out- side that line no ship now afloat could do' any damage to New York City, and inside that line,' the inventor says, it would be ab- solutely : impossible \u25a0 lor any vessel to CQrue. The blow could not be conducted off, as a stroke of lightning might, and .it would shatter the object struck into fragments. ' One feature of. the invention,' the inventor says, is that it requires . only -very ; siuip'-a machinery. All the parts of the * onstruc- tion can be bought from machinery depots and need only to be bolted and put together! ready for action. No expensive plant will be necessary, to make i*»y part of the sys- tem. Furthei more, them will be practically* i.oihiug of til*- works of the plan lor the enemy to attack. The enemy will be heir- less in either attack or defense against fie electric singer. General 1 Sewell would not, for obvious reasons, describe his invention when asked about it. but gave some points of informa- tion. Ha said it would not in the least in- terfere with or endanger commercial ves- sels entering or leaving the harbor, and i that- it could be built very quickly and at little cost. The 0% fathom due extends from outside Sandy Hook. to a point off Coney Island. The device would be under: control of officers 'in fortified or protected stations on the shore near the line. These "stations" would be absolutely proof against any fire from the enemy's ships, and. indeed, their location would not be ap- parent. All that- would be visible and afford a mark would be five or .mx pieces of iron, which the general exhibited, about a foot long and an inch thick. : In each station would lit? a camera lucida, which would in- dicate, day or night, the position of the hos- tile ships. with absolute accuracy, and when one attempted to cross the hue the 50,000 foot-ton blow would tall on it. A Sn|Verb Necklace. Jewelers' K.vlew. In the corbeille de manage of a recent French bride there was the most superb set of emeralds owned by any woman other than royal.

Mrs. Hettieriugt oil's Lively So- journ in This City. The Heroine of the Yokohama Tragedy Vis- ited San Francisco and Is Said to Have Lived in a Lurid Style. The heroine of the Yokohama scandal re- sulting in the death of a Japanese resident and the Imprisonment of a United States naval officer, which was published in The Call, yesterday "morning, spent several weeks in San Francisco last summer while en route to join her husband in Japan from her Eastern Home. . Mrs. Hetberiimton's sojourn in this city was brief, but her local career was daz- zlingly lurid. Upon her arrival here she secured apartments in one of the most quiet and aiisttcratic hotels in the city, but although her physical charms captivated a!! the officers of the caravansary, from the manager to the fourth-assistant bellboy, her residence there was limited to about ten days. The lady seems to have been somewhat of a connoisseur in the matter of masculine beauty. Among the other guests at the ho- tel was an Australian tourist, a magnificent specimen of manly perfection, who found such favor in the eyes of Mrs. Hethering- ton that the manager, without inquiring too closely into their relationship, asked for the surrender of their several rooms. Among other acquaintances whom she made in San Francisco was the members of a family who were specially interested in a biotli.r officer of .Lieu ten lletherington on the Marion. After the uncomfortable episode at. the hotel these people opened their home to Mrs. Hetherington, ana she was lor a time an honored guest. Her ir- regular hours, the repeated stopping of a coupe at the* doer out 4 o'clock in the morning, and in unexplained absence dur- ing the whole of one night, gave her hostess courage to undertake a personal interview, at the conclusion of which the vivacious guest packed ber trunks and departed. A short time intervened before she. sailed ior Japan, where she was to join her hus- band, but most of the interim is said to have been spent in magnificent style at a French restaurant Her admirers included the Australian already referred t -, a stock- broker possessing an unviable physique and a fashionable physician of this city. Inall her perigriuatlons Mrs. liethering- ton was accompanied by her ouly child, a little utrl about 5 years of age. A maid of experience and discretion also accompanied her, and seemed to prove invaluable to her mistress in iter several escapades. The gay lady was a beauty, but her chief charm lay in her eyes and in her expression. Without au effort she seemed to fascinate the most cynic al of wMi.en-haters. She was apparently about 30 years of age, and although she was a typical woman of the wo;', she managed, to retain a child-like innocence of expression, which deceived her husband and ensnared some men about \u25a0mil who could hardly be considered un- sophiscated. WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY. A Grent Domestic Show for the Ed! flea- Hun of I.adi.s hi the World* Fair. Chicago Herald. The ladies will be interested to learn that the department has in view a c rent domestic show fur their especial edification. A model house will be built .to demon- strate in actual operation' every economic . application of electricity for the use of the home. Beginning at the door electric bells will announce the visitor; the servant, who is \u25a0 luxury, not a necessity, where electricity holds sway, ushers the visitor into the par- lor, and touches a button, which closes the electric circuit connecting a loud-speakinc phonograph that sits on the table. While waiting for the host the visitor enjoys a selection from "Faust" by Strauss' orches- tra, or a few bars of a sacred melody by Gil more's Ocean Grove Orchestra. The hostess arrives and is kept in touch with her servau's by electric calls daintily fash- ioned. The parly adjourns to dinner un. sunny* -d by smells from the kitchen, for thai necessary adjunct to the home is at the top of the house and is couuected with the dining-room by electric waiters. Dishes are kept hot on the table by dainty, pol- ished, electric warming furnaces, connected by wires under the table. About the time dinner is over an imperious servant gets augry about something and leaves in a hnd. My lady stands prepared to outczar the czar, however, for she bows her com- pany into the parlor, excuses herself for a moment, darts out into the dining-room, slips the dishes into the 'waiter, and with a touch of the button they are upstairs. A largo electric dishwasher is at hand and i a five, minutes the dishes are washed, my lady's dainty hands not having touched the water. An electric dish drier completes the toilet of tho table-ware. -_ A DOLLAR FOR A KISS. How a Drummer Mas Sared From Itnlo. Detroit Newa A traveling man, who was also the head of a prosperous firm, promised his newly wedded wife, says the Michigan Trades, man, that he would give her a dollar every time be kissed her. and in that way she could save plenty of money. Things went on in this way for several yeirs, and as he made plenty of money he faithfully, kept his promise. Finally reverses came,- and the once prosperous traveling man found that he was Virtually a pauper. lie went home to ins wife and told: her all. ; She, however, did not seem worried, and be was somewhat surprised when she asked him to take a iide with her that afternoon, but lie accepted the invitation. Passing a large block on a well-known street, she said: "That's mine." Soon she came to a handsome flat and said; "Thai's mine." Well,; she show ed him several places with the -same remark, until he began to be suspicious ami inquired: "How the deuce did you ac- quire so much wealth?" "Da ".you remem- ber the contract you made wHen we were first married?" she said.' "Tea," he replied. "I do." "Well. I invested it and it has made us - rich." The traveling man hune his head and said nothing. -This was kept up for thirty minutes,' until his wife became; alarmed," and: she asked: "What in the world is the matter and what are yon think- ing about?"

New York Times, Among the most interesting tests that are to take place in the spring are those in con- nection with -torpedo nets. Two samples are to be submitted, one the Buliivant, of English make, , which has been quite gen- erally adopted for ase in England and on the Continent, -and the other an Ameri- can net, known tas the filidgley. This kind of protection is to prevent the too close approach of an enemy's torpedoes. The nets are rigged cut well clear of the ship's side by means of spars and hawsers stretched from spar to spar so as to completely girdle the vessel. Tha spars are sometimes fitted so that they rig in and out through the ves- sel's side, and at others so that they can be topped up, the heels working in shackles well down toward the water-line. When not in use the nets are rolled ud as snugly as possible and stopped up under the rail. The Luilivant net has withstood success- fully the attacks of various torpedoes, although itis now asserted that the "bulk- head" Whitehead can get by it without an explosion taking place before the torpedo gets near enough to damage the vessel. This net Is made of stPel grommets placed at right angles to ea.h other and of such a size that nothing but. the extreme cud of the torpedo can get through. It is said/that the ex- plosion of high explosives close to the net has done no great damage to it. The re- ports of the various maneuvers in which this kind of "orinoline" has been used by foreign vessels have been very favorable, and in consequence a large number of battle ships and some of the protected cruisers are already fitted with it, or orders have been given that torpedo nets are to form a part of their outfit In our navy nothing of the kind has yet been adopted, and, before committing itself to either one of the two types, the Navy De- partment proposes having competitive testa. With this idea a section of the lUilli- vnnt " net has been brought over from England and several sections ol the Midgley have been made in this country. It was at first proposed to use the submarine gun of Ericsson's Destroyer,; but as the prospects were -against this weapon being ready in time, it was decided to try .„ tbe Whitehead and llowell torpedoes as. soon as they could be made ready for the tests. The Midgiey is composed of parallel bars formed of intertwined uelices of steel rib- bon, whose length varies according to the dimensions of the vessel upon which it Is used,* and whose width is about two inches. In constructing .the bars sections of cylin- drical helices are screwed into each other to form a sheet of any convenient length and -width, the length being equal to that of the bars. The sheet thus formed is then passed through rollers to flatten the helices, make them fit snugly into each other, and at the same time it is kept under longitudinal ten- •».i ii. The result is that the helices are well seated in each other and a compact, flexible sheet that can readily bo rolled Is formed.

A RARE DAY IN MARCH.

Sunday Sights and Scenes in

Golden Gate Park. - f '->.

Some Facts Abont Ducks Furnished by a Wise

Man—Race Prejudice Among theStately Swans.

Once upon a time, the exact date of whichcannot be recalled, the poet, James RusselLowell, suddenly and without warning,after the manner of poets and other in-spired thinkers, rapturously exclaimed:

"What is so rare as a day inJune?" *

There was no one there to hear Mr.Lowell exclaim, but the remark, with sev-eral others, subsequently found its way intothe papers, where it attracted widespreadattention, both on account of the sentimentexpressed and a certain ambiguity ofmeaning. V"...Yesterday was a rare day inMarch. Nonecould have been rarer anywhere but in theglorious climate of California; here tbe ten-derest flower and the midsummer vest bloomside by side before the chilblain seasoncloses in less favored regions.

As ifby one! impulse the population 'ofSau Francisco fled from the confines of itsfour walls to Golden Gate Park, holding onto a perspiring child withone hand and astreet-car strap with the other.

A CROtVDED TAItK.They poured in.from all directions, thou-

sands of them, until tha spacious park wasactually crowded. Everybody that couldwalk,creep or crawl, be carried in arms orgo on wheels, moved inendless procession,dressed in their best suit ofclothes, alongthe rust-colored drives and pathways thatthread the park like an old-gold tracing ona background of green.

Back and forth -they went through thetunuel and over the new red bridge iv end-less cavalcade. Fat old ladies waddled androlled laboiiousiy along under the blazingsun, accompanied by stout elderly gentle-men, some of them with hard, toil-stainedhands, who, bent on enjoying that rare dayin March to the utmost, actually came toGolden Gate Park of a Sunday without theircollars.

First they listened to the band play auair, which might or might not have been asfresh as that Which blew in from the sea,but none noted the difference, if any ex-isted.

Then they went to the hydrant, wherethey watered the children. Next they saton the crass to rest and watch other "folkstire themselves out; strolled round to wherethe elephants perform; stopped to look atthe ducks in a pond near the Height— treetentrance and then went off home refreshedinmind ifnot in body, and lully impressedwith the belief that by the time oue of thoserare days iv June rolls round it will,in thelightof previous events, be looked upon asa chestnut.

As is customary in all large gntherinesthe man who knows it all was at the parkready to diffuse general information regard-less of his own time or personal conveni-ence and on the slightest provocation. Hewas loafing near the pond where the ducks,as is their wont, were -lauding ou theirheads In the water with their faces buriedin the mud at the bottom, and with stubbytails waving in the air like signals of dis-tils.

A CHILD'S CURIOSITY.A little child also standing near asked

her mamma whythe ducks acted that way.The mother replied that she didn't ex-

actly know, and then the wise man spokeup:"Ifyou'll excuse me, madam," he said,

"I'lltell the littlegirl all about it."The mother said she would be delighted,

so the man went ahead and aired his knowl-edge.

"Yousee. littlegirl, ducks are furnishedwith appetites— debt they owe to nature

—Mag they stick their heads under water inorder to liquidate their bills."

The little giltand her mamma said "Oh."and passed . iito the next bird, which hap-pened to be the pelican.

According to scientists a fish diet in-creases the brain power; but the pelican,which lives exclusively on fl-h, is not MSticularly noted for is intelligence.

They are telling a -story on a young manin Detroit, whichsomehow has only recentlygot into the current gossip.

Itappears that during the past summer beput in a month at a lake resort in the North-west, and there fell In love with a girlwhodidn't believe in reciprocity.' His persist-ence, however, was iv do wise abated by athing like that. .

One day the girl fell off the dock into thelake, and the young man. being somewhatof an athlete and a swimmer, jumped inandrescued her without much difficulty."

Now,"he said, as she stood dripping onthe dock, "Ihave saved your life aud youmust marry "me."

"Marry you?" she repeated' inbewilder-ment "Must 1?" i"

It's as little as you could do," he whis-pered, putting out his hands to her.

She gave him one look as lie stood thereall draggled and sloppy, and with a smoth-ered shriek she plunged into the flood oncemore.

DISSENTING CLUB MEN.An Impending; Split inthe Pacific-

Union Ranks.

The Ycung Ken Growing Restive Because ofthe Conservatism Displayed by tin

Elder Members.

The Pacific-Union Club is in the throes ofa revolution. For some time, in fact, therehave been murmurs of discontent iv the oldorganization and the mutterings have notalways been in the most decorous style, butnow there is every prospect of an open re-volt, and it is likely that the near futurewill witness a complete rupture betweenthe contending elements.

Now, tbe Pacific- Union" Club Is, or hasbeen for some years at least, a most con-servative and dignified organization, fur-nishing in itsrooms on Post street a haven ofretreat for those whose millions entitledthem to the privilege of dining in luxurynod lounging at ease, and the fitfulcares ofthe great outside world have never— that is,hardly ever—been allowed to penetrate itsexquisitely draped wall;, It was and Is,for that matter, the most exclusive of theclubs of Sau Francisco, and on its rolls to-day are the names of the wealthiest of thecity's mouied men.

THE YOUNGSTERS IMPATIENT.Among the hitter are many men who are

getting on in years and who, as a conse-quence have grown conservative. The lat-ter trail is a most admirable on-' in manyways, but it seems to have grown distaste-ful to the younger and more progressive cle-ment. This is just where tbo trouble hasoccurred.

Some time ago the young men becamerestive aud thteuteued to lake the bit intheir teeth. This was only smiled at bythe older men, but the youngsters grewmore turbulent and arc now contemplating

move that may disrupt the old club en-tirely.

Said one of the yonns: men last night: "Ido not care to he quoted in the matter, asmy father is one of the oldfellows who havedone everything to keep the club ina rut,but you may rest assured that something isgoing to happen. You see, a few years agowhen t_M Pacific and the Union clubs con-solidated, a great many of the solid men ofthe town came togetiier, and SB they werein the majority they had things pretty muchtheir own way. They held all the office:*,tilled out the committees, managed thefinances, and did things just as theypleased.

TIME.BROUGHT HO RELIEF."As time went by they grew older with-

out realizing itthemselves, nnd as a naturalresult they grow more conservative. Theystill held the balance of power, however,and changes in the mode of conducting theclub were not to be thought of. Now, tinswas not at all to the taste of the youngerelement, nt d the result has been that thelatter have grown very tired of affairs as atpreseut conducted.

"home time ago, In consequence of thisfeeling, Henry T. Scott headed a movementto spin nil from tne old organization andform a new one on more modern principles.The ideo, of course, has not yet been con-summated, but it is well under way, and itis safe to say that it willnot be lone untilthe young men withdraw their allegiancefrom tho old brdy and form a club of theirown that willbe modeled tosuit their moreprogressive notions.

A RUMOR Mill."The rumor that a mooting of Ihe dis-

senters bad been held *•_. true, but itis nota fact that plans for \u25a0 buildiug have beendiscussed. The matter has not advanced sofar as that as yet. but itprobably willreachthat stage in a very short time.''

The trouble- in the club is not entirelynew, but seems to be the outcome of the oldfeeling between the Pacifies and theUnions, as well as a battle for the suprem-acy of modern tastes. When the twoclubswere consolidated it.was prophesied thatthe union would not be permanent, and theprediction seems about to be fulfilled.

The Proposed Monument to General FhilSheridan Causes Considerable Discus-

sion-Tickets in Demand.

At tbe meeting of tho Convention of Irish-American Societies, held at K.R. li. Hallyesterday, the arrangements for the cele-bration of the anniversary of St. Patrick onMarch 17 were nearly completed. Onemore meeting willbe held on Sunday next,and special invitations willbe issued by cir-cular, calling on all society delegates to at-teud, as a long and important session is an-ticipated. ;^&ggSKa

James K. Kelly called the meeting toorder, nearly an hour after time. The dele-gates then present did not number a dozen,but there was a full representation beforethe meeting closed. B3_S__PBH___PS

The Committee on Literary Exercises re-ported progress. They held a meeting afterthe close of .the session, hut the arrange-ments cannot he completed before nextSunday, as "many ofthe "talent" expectedto assist willnot he in town before the dayof the celebration.

'Hie Printing Committee, through E. J.Coffey, reported 3000 81 tickets. aooO-g centtickets and 200 half-sheet bills printed.

1. B. Bannerman notified the meetingthat Dan O'Coanell had accepted an invita-tion to act as poet and T. J. Clunie asorator of the day. Inthe latter** letter ofacceptance itwas intimated that be wouldembrace the opportunity of paving an ap-propriate tribute to the memory of GeneralFun Sheridan.

Mr. liauuerman also announced thatirank Shea, the architect, though unableto be present at the celebration, bad prom-ised to arrange for a steieopticon view ofSheridan iv the famous Winchester charge,and that Mr. Tobin would recite tho poemcommemorative of the ride.

THE MOMUE.NT COMMITTEE.A considerable amount of discussion of a

purely friendly character was created whenthe question of the General PhilipH. Sheri-dan Monument Committee was brought up.At the meeting un the 21st tilt, the conven-tion had due-ted a committee of 100 to beselected by the President, Vice-Presidentand other officers for the purpose of receiv-ingdonations and the proceeds of the cele-bration, as a contribution to the erection inGolden Gate Park of un appropriate monu-ment to General Philip H. Sheridan.

The chair intimated that after conversa-tion with an experienced public official hehad reached the conclusion that $2000 wouldbo the outside limit of the -amount to be de-rived from the celebration, ana suggestedthat an effort should be made to place £5000at least in the bauds ol the committee ofICO, which lie thought would be easy if thepress could be pot to notice the matter.

'"Mr.Bnn_MOSSsa took "thiropportunity of

deprecating the publication ot the names oflbs committee of 100 before the morning ofthe celebration, as an attempt bad MSBmade, tor some unknown purpose, by onenewspaper to obtain tbesu names for pub-lication exclusively. -

Ihe Chair promptly gave the assurancethat nothing of ibe ktud would be per-mitted.

A VARIED EXPERIENCE.Itwas finally uuderstood, after General

O'Byrne had spoken at some length, thatthe monument matter should be left to thecommittee of HE, increased by a unanimousrots to 'JOO. General O'Uyrue evoked loudlaughter by a facetious allusion to his ownexperience of monument funds. He said thatWhen lie lived in Philadelphia one Bardslev—now* wearing stripes— had been connectedwith an American party movement fora monument to George Washington andthe Quaker City. Tim site is there now anda iron grows on it, and the lew stones laid,but no one knows what bus become of thumoney, la New York he was one of thosewho contributed $.V) to the fl*jHTcollectedfor a monument to General Grunt, but tbeiiioiiuuiruihas uever nut. \u25a0_. At thesame turn he considered that this monu-ment to General Sheridan could and shouldbe erected, but he was in favor of leaving itto the committee ot IU)to gel the funds an \u25a0

nut making it a pari of the St. Patrick', daycelebration.

lv response to a motion, the delegatesfrom tbe societies present agreed to lakefifty tickets each for the celebration, on saleor return.

SE AGOAST SLUGGERS.General furMi'i ft—aeitaHe l'laii for

the Defense or NVw Turk.A Pittsburg Dispatch Special. .

An entirely new plan for the defense ofNew York City and the harbor against ahostile fleet is under consideration by tneCommittee on Coast Defenses of the UnitedStates Senate. Itis a plan with some strik-ing feature?, which appeal to the Imagina-tion of the ordinary unscientific citizen, andhas been before military and naval expertsfor several mouths. It is before Congressat the Instance of the Adjutant General'soffice of the State of New Jersey, and ofcommittees of the Chamber, if Commerceand Board of Trade appointed to look afterthe matter of the defense of the city. •'•».

'

Ifthe invention willdo all that is claimedfor it, a big load willbe taken iffthe mindsof many New Yorkers.- The invention iselectrical. . \u0084,"

What Is claimed for the invention. In afew words is this: If any hostile ship orfleet attempted to enter this harbor/ as itcrossed any given line, say the li% fathomline in the outer bay, a blow of50,000 foot-tons could be struck upon each ship, whichwouldeffectually put any.vessel now afloat

out of the way of doing damage to NewYorkCity, or to anything .else. •The bio ;

would come from overhead, out of the air,would strike vertically and with absolutecertainty. .Itcould be directed at any. partof;the surface >of the \u25a0 ship, _ and would beaimed at the spot where it would do themost and surest damage.

Twenty of these 50,000-foot-ton blowscould be struck in ten seconds of time. > The6%-fathom line ,is • distant .about *

fourteenmiles from the City Halland twelve milesfrom the built-up purls of Brooklyn. Out-side that line no ship now afloat could do'any damage to New YorkCity, and insidethat line,' the inventor says, it would be ab-solutely :impossible \u25a0 lorany vessel to CQrue.The blow could not be conducted off, as astroke of lightning might, and .it wouldshatter the object struck into fragments.

'One feature of.the invention,' the inventor• says, is that it requires .only -very;siuip'-a

machinery. Allthe parts of the * onstruc-tion can be bought from machinery depotsand need only to be bolted and put together!ready for action. No expensive plant willbe necessary, to make i*»y part of the sys-tem. Furthei more, them willbe practically*i.oihiug of til*- works of the plan lor the

enemy to attack. The enemy willbe heir-less in either attack or defense against fieelectric singer.General 1 Sewell would not, for obvious

reasons, describe his invention when askedabout it. but gave some points of informa-tion. Ha said itwould not in the least in-terfere with or endanger commercial ves-sels entering or leaving the harbor, andithat- it could be built very quickly and atlittle cost. The 0% fathom due extendsfrom outside Sandy Hook. to a point offConey Island. The device would be under:control of officers 'in fortified or protectedstations on the shore near the line. These"stations" would be absolutely proofagainst any fire from the enemy's ships,and. indeed, their location would not be ap-parent. All that- would be visible andafford a mark would be fiveor .mx pieces ofiron, which the general exhibited, about afoot long and an inch thick. :Ineach stationwould lit? a camera lucida, which would in-dicate, day ornight, the position of the hos-tile ships. withabsolute accuracy, and whenone attempted to cross the hue the 50,000foot-ton blow would tall on it.

The Heroine of the Yokohama Tragedy Vis-ited San Francisco and Is Said to

Have Lived in a Lurid Style.

The heroine of the Yokohama scandal re-sulting in the death of a Japanese residentand the Imprisonment of a United Statesnaval officer, which was published in TheCall, yesterday "morning, spent severalweeks in San Francisco last summer whileen route to join her husband in Japan fromher Eastern Home. .

Mrs. Hetberiimton's sojourn in this citywas brief, but her local career was daz-zlingly lurid. Upon her arrival here shesecured apartments in one of the most quietand aiisttcratic hotels in the city, butalthough her physical charms captivated a!!the officers of the caravansary, from themanager to the fourth-assistant bellboy,her residence there was limited to about tendays.

The lady seems to have been somewhat ofa connoisseur in the matter of masculinebeauty. Among the other guests at the ho-tel was an Australian tourist, a magnificentspecimen of manly perfection, who foundsuch favor in the eyes of Mrs. Hethering-ton that the manager, without inquiring tooclosely into their relationship, asked for thesurrender of their several rooms.

Among other acquaintances whom shemade in San Francisco was the members ofa family who were specially interested inabiotli.r officer of .Lieu ten lletheringtonon the Marion. After the uncomfortableepisode at. the hotel these people openedtheir home to Mrs. Hetherington, ana shewas lor a time an honored guest. Her ir-regular hours, the repeated stopping of acoupe at the* doer out 4 o'clock in themorning, and in unexplained absence dur-ing the whole of one night,gave her hostesscourage to undertake a personal interview,at the conclusion of which the vivaciousguest packed ber trunks and departed.

Ashort time intervened before she. sailedior Japan, where she was to join her hus-band, but most of the interim is said tohave been spent in magnificent style at aFrench restaurant Her admirers includedthe Australian already referred t -, a stock-broker possessing an unviable physique anda fashionable physician of this city.

Inall her perigriuatlons Mrs. liethering-ton was accompanied by her ouly child, alittle utrl about 5 years of age. A maid ofexperience and discretion also accompaniedher, and seemed to prove invaluable to hermistress in iter several escapades.

The gay lady was a beauty, but her chiefcharm lay in her eyes and inher expression.Without au effort she seemed to fascinatethe most cynic al of wMi.en-haters. She wasapparently about 30 years of age, andalthough she was a typical woman of thewo;', she managed, to retain a child-likeinnocence of expression, which deceived herhusband and ensnared some men about

\u25a0mil who could hardly be considered un-sophiscated.

TO TEST TORPEDO WETS.The Nary Department Una Selected Two

Types to Experiment Upon.New York Times,

Among the most interesting tests that areto take place in the spring are those in con-nection with -torpedo nets. Two samplesare to be submitted, one the Buliivant, ofEnglish make, ,which has been quite gen-erally adopted for ase in England and onthe Continent, -and the other an Ameri-can net, known tas the filidgley. Thiskind of protection is to prevent the too closeapproach of an enemy's torpedoes. Thenets are rigged cut well clear of the ship'sside by means of spars and hawsers stretchedfrom spar to spar so as to completely girdlethe vessel. Tha spars are sometimes fittedso that they rig inand out through the ves-sel's side, and at others so that they can betopped up, the heels working in shackleswell down toward the water-line. Whennot in use the nets are rolled ud as snugly aspossible and stopped up under the rail.

The Luilivant net has withstood success-fully the attacks of various torpedoes,although itis now asserted that the "bulk-head" Whitehead can get by it without anexplosion taking place before the torpedogets near enough to damage the vessel.This net Is made of stPel grommets placedat right angles to ea.h other and ofsuch a size that nothing but. theextreme cud of the torpedo canget through. It is said/that the ex-plosion of high explosives close to the nethas done no great damage to it. The re-ports of the various maneuvers in whichthis kind of "orinoline" has been used byforeign vessels have been very favorable,and in consequence a large number ofbattle ships and some of the protectedcruisers are already fitted with it, or ordershave been given that torpedo nets are toform a part of their outfit

Inour navy nothing of the kind has yetbeen adopted, and, before committing itselfto either one of the two types, the Navy De-partment proposes having competitivetesta. With this idea a section of the lUilli-vnnt

"net has been brought over from

England and several sections ol the Midgleyhave been made in this country. Itwas atfirst proposed to use the submarine gun ofEricsson's Destroyer,; but as the prospectswere -against this weapon being ready intime, it was decided to try .„tbe Whiteheadand llowelltorpedoes as. soon as they couldbe made ready for the tests.

The Midgiey is composed of parallel barsformed of intertwined uelices of steel rib-bon, whose length varies according to thedimensions of the vessel upon which it Isused,* and whose width is about two inches.In constructing .the bars sections of cylin-drical helices are screwed into each other toform a sheet of any convenient length and

-width, the length being equal to that of thebars. The sheet thus formed is then passedthrough rollers to flatten the helices, makethem fitsnugly into each other, and at thesame time it is kept under longitudinal ten-

•».i ii. The result is that the helices are wellseated in each other and a compact, flexiblesheet that can readily bo rolled Is formed.• The table spread for a formal luncheonshould be set willithe greatest precision.
