Cheer.
When 300 Elks are gathered to
gether for the sole, and always ad
mirable, purpose of having fun, clean,
wholesome, and genuine fun, there
are none to say them nay, nor to
doubt that they get it all out of the
host that so contributes. This was
the case last night, when Astoria
Lodge, No. 180, B. P. O. E., gave its
Irish Social" in honor of St Pat
rick's Day. There were 289 of the
home lodge in the assembly to act as
hosts to a short "Baker's Dozen"
down from Portland; and the meas-

opinion of Messrs. Henry C Griffin,
John Buntin, John Kelly, James An

W. H. Barry, W. L. Bayer, Andrew
Frieberg, and John DriscolL
The handsome hall in Odd Fellows'
building was appropriately decorated
with huge shamrocks and dudeens,
and green was the master-color of the
place and hour. Nearly every man of
them was done up in Irish costume,
ranging from the navy to the squire
and "the hat me fa'ther wore" was
in evidence everywhere.
Henry Griffin, of Portland, the arch
fun-maker of the metropolis, presid

Carney, the "Earl of Sligo", did duty
as clerk of the "coort"; these two,
with a force of cops, some 20 strong,
did a rushing business and the fines
were numerous and covered the en

stood for.
At a little after 11 oclock, "Judge"
Griffin demanded the attention of the
house and got it, while, in a neat and
feeling speech, he presented to the
Astoria lodge a memento sent down
from their brethren of Portland lodge,
a beautiful white case containing IS
clay pipes, softly imbedded in green
velvet, eight of them in a row bear
ing, in green, the letters P-O-R-T-L-A-N-D;
the second row of seven
so branded with the letters A-S-T-O-R-t-A,"
each row being finished by a
cute little plug hat, acting as periods
to the lines. It was enthusiastically
received by the home Elks and Ex
alted Ruler John McCue, feelingly
and yet humorously, acknowledged
the dainty and appropriate gift.

We started with half a million
pounds of potatoes which supply was
exhausted at Punta Arenas . We is
sued the last 40,000 pounds there
From there to Calloa the crews were
rationed with de hydrated or dried
vegetables, which were found to be
most satisfactory. At Calloa we took
on 230,000 pounds of potatoes which
lasted until we reached Magdalena. j
Here the Buffalo met us with 200
tons more. This will last ten day
until the Culgoa can get here from
San Diego where she was sent from
Calloa with orders to take on stores
and return here. She will give us
enough fresh provisions to last until
we arrive at our final destination at
San Francisco.

is limited to two ship, the Kansas

There will be four ranges, four ships
tiring at a time. The rafts for the
targets were finished this afternoon
and were being towed out to the
grounds to the southeast of where
the squadron is anchored. Yester
day ami to-day three or four of the
ships, including the Georgia, Rhode
Island, Kansas and Vermont were on
the range laying out the lines and an
choring buoys for the attachment of
the targets and for the guidance of
the ships. The frames of the targets
will be put in place in the morning.
The shooting will then begin. It is
likely that the fleet will leave here
between April S and April 10. Stops
willbe made at San Diego, Los
Angeles ports, Santa Barbara, and
Santa Crua,
At Los Angeles ports, where the
fleets will be divided into divisions of
four ships each to be anchored off
Long Beach, San Pedro, Redondo,
and Venice-Ocean Park, and Santa
Monica, it is not unlikely that the
fleet first will steam in single , line

This would make a splendid naval
pageant which might be enjoyed by
the people of those cities. Again,
upon departure the fleet probably will
form in single column and sail north,
repeating the parade. A simultane

of the South American ports, may be
fired.
The town of Magdalena has not
grown to any appreciable extent be
cause of the fleet's visit. It is about
the same size that it has been for
years past. It consists of a row of
small one and two story white-wash
ed houses, located on the northern
shore of what is known as Man-of-
war Cove. The houses , set back
from the beach some SO feet and ex
tend for perhaps 1,000 yards along
the shore. Mr. Heney, a cousin of
Francis J. Heney, the assistant dis

LATEST l!l SUITK1GS
Having returned from San Francisco with a splendid stock of spring
and summer suitings of the latest style and having spent several weeks
in studying the fashions prevalent in that city, we are now more than

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17. A the Atlantic fleet can go to any part
special dispatch from San Diego says of the world if coal is provided. The
news of an announcement today by rest will be easy. I may say that all
taken together, the men and officers
of the fleet have not regarded the
cruise in the same remarkable sense
that the general public has. With
them it merely has been a day's work
nothing more. However, they are
all gratified at the successful conclu
sion of the cruise to date. It merely
confirms our expectation."
Much disappointment is expressed
throughout the fleet over the failure
of the expedition to rescue the Ameri
can sailor Jeffs from Indefatigable
Island. The fleet passed within
about forty miles of the island and
the tender Yankton was sent in to
make the search. The landing party
from the tender searched all habitable
portions of the island for two days.
Remains of camp fires were found in
several parts but no trace of the sail
er was discovered. In one place a
razor was found with Jeff's initials on
it. It is the belief of the men on the
Yankton that the marooned sailor
has been rescued by' some passing
vessel. Search was made of every
possible place where the man could
have concealed himself before perish
ing, but it was without result. The
Yankton proceeded to Acapulce and
is expected to reach. Magdalena the
first part of next week.
mally about 1 15 people in the place.
On these ranches horses and cattle
are reared. Cattle are killed for local
consumption. Water is the great
problem. Ordinarily it is brought
from many miles inland and fre
quently is furnished to Mr. Heney by
the war ships in the harbor. The
ships convert the salt water into fresh
and afford an adequate supply.
The day before the arrival of the
Atlantic fleet the Steamer Curacoa
from La Paz landed 26 Mexicans at
Magdalena and the question of food
and water for them was a serious pro
blem. Mr. Heney solved it by secur
ing a supply from the ships. Gov.
Sanginez and his official party are
quartered at Mr. Heney's residence
which is the most pretentions in the
place. Within the past two days two
or three new buildings of a temporary
nature have sprung up along the
beach and are being used by Mexican
venders.

It was on the strength of tlii
knowledge that this bootblack went
one day to a well known wholesale
liquor dealer on the East Side and
proposed that he should establish him
a saloon on the lower Bowery, The
liquor dealer was aghast at his pre
sumption until he learned his scheme
Then he capitulated at once, and
within a few days' the papers had
been signed and a twenty-four hours'
option secured on rickety and, from
nearly every Imaginable point of view,
undesirable premises, near Canal
Street, and directly under the noisiest
and dustiest and oiliest part of the
elevated railroad. This done, the
bootblack made his way to the very
center of the Brooklyn Bridge, climb
e dhastily to the top of the parapet,
and, heedless of the warning shouts
of a pantingop, dropped into the
seething water below.
It was an unknown youth, with an
earning capacity of a few dollars a
week, who disappeared beneath the
surface of the East River, but it was
an enterprising young man, an East
Side celebrity in fact, all ready for
the divine oil of publicity, and with
an assured income and possible fort
une in his grasp, whose note reap
peared very shortly above the muddy
surface of the waters and who was
helped by willing and officious hands
into a rowboat where dry clothing
awaited him, together with hearty
congratulations on the fact that he
alone, of all those who had attempted
to jump the bridge, had escaped with
his life. The next day the name of
Steve Brodie was flashed from one
end of the country to the other, and
within a very few hours after his dis-
chrage from custody he was arrest
ed on the charge of trying to take his
own life he was standing behind his
own bar, serving drinks to the crowds
who came to gape at Steve Brodie,
the bridge-jumper, and to pour their
money into his coffers. (
