THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED
A Compound Engine Can Be
Run Economically With
One Valve.
TESTED ON A STEAM LAUNCH.
The Missing Link Is the Fastest
Little Craft of Its Kind
on the Bay.
"Can a compound engine be run with
only one valve?" is a question that has en
grossed the attention of engineers for over
a generation. The overcoming of the diffi
culty meant the doing away with a steam
THE MISSINQ LINK.
[Sketched for the "Call" by Coulter.]
chest and receiver, and a consequent sav
ing in fuel, space and weight.
J. L. Bonner, master mechanic of the
San Francisco and Isorth Pacific Railroad
Company, has solved the problem, and his
launch '"The Missing Link" is a practical
illustration of the fact. The launch is one
of the whaleboats of the old steam whaler
Orca. It has not been altered in any way
except to take out a thwart in order to
make room for the engine, and to bore a
hole in the stern to allow working room
for the propeller shaft. That the experi
ment is a success is proven by the fact that
with 200 pounds of coal on board and
twenty-five passengers, the Missing Link
can average ten knots an hour for forty
eight consecutive hours. On a run of one
or two hours and with the steam kept at a
pressure of 250 pounds, she can easily make
thirteen knots an hour, and is consequent
ly by far the fastest launch in the bay.
The Missing Link is thirty feet long and
six feet beam. In the Custom-house sue
is registered three tons net, and is conse
quently the smallest steam vessel that has
ever received a license from Uncle Bam.
Her engines weigh exactly ninety-six
pounds, and Engineer Bonner'e son car
ried them from the machine shops to the
whaleboat on his back. The boiler is
about half the size of an ordinary cooking
stove, and at first glance it seems ridicu
lous that steam sufficient to drive a thirty
foot boat thirteen knots an hour could be
generated in such a small space. The fact
is that every ounce of steam is used as it
is made, and it only costs 15 cents an hour
to run her. It would be almost impossible
to burst the boiler, as it has Btood a press
ure of 1500 pounds to the square inch.
The engines and boilers were built by
Messrs. J. L. Bonner and C. G. Ny during
their spare moments. In talking about
the matter yesterday Master Mechanic Bon
ner said: "My idea was to get something
fast, machinery that was almost noise
less and a great saving in space and weight.
In order to do this 1 had to construct a
compound engine with a valve that would
work the steam over twice, thus saving a
steam chest and a receiver.
"There is only one valve in the launch in
stead of two, so therefore she is called the
Missing Link. Anyone who can keep
steam up and water in the boiler can run
one of these boats, as the Missing Link is
practically automatic. With seventeen gal
lons of water in her tank and 200 pounds of
coal in her bunkers she will run for forty
eight hours and cover 500 miles. All her
machinery is of the simplest kind, and her
engines could be duplicated in twenty-four
hours on a lathe. The appliance is much
cheaper than a gasoline engine, much
safer, and far greater speed can be ob
tained. The engine and boiler would be
particularly useiul in lifeboats on ships
and also in whaleboats. A lifeboat with
machinery in her similar to the Missing
Link could tow half a dozen rafts and
other ship's boats for dayg, while on a
whaler it would be indispensable in towing
whales to the ship and boats back after an
unsuccessful hunt."
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
A Clog Brake Invented for Stop
ping Moving
Cars.
An invention has been patented by J.
Toohey of this city which has for its object
the attachment to cars of an appliance for
quickly stopping them while in motion.
In view of the recent accidents .on the
Catch-Brake for Streetcars When It Is
Down s
electric-car system some appliance of this
sort seems to be absolutely necessary and
this invention of Mr. Toohey seems to
have, in principle anyhow, some merit.
It takes the form of a clogging brake,
which is under the direct control of the
motorman. The accompanying iliustra
tration shows the arrangement of the brake
when it is down and clogging the wheels.
One of the brak6B is attached to each rear
wheel of the car and when not in use it is
raised above the ground. The clog brakes
do not interfere in any way with the usual
brake attachments.
When the motorman wants to clog the
car he moves the lever and throws the
brakes down under the rear wheels in the
position aa shown. Tne lower part of the
clog is corrugated and fits the track bo it
will not slide. As operated by a model
the clog brake works to perfection, but
whether it will stop a heavy car going at a

A FIVE-DOLLAR LESSON.
How an Inquisitive Woman T.earneil
the Secret of Making Tartar
Sauce.
"This, ladies," said Mrs. Emma P. Ewing
to her class in the School of Scientific Cook
ing during one of her lectures, "is sauce
tartar, and it is excellent with certain
kinds of fish."" She detailed how it is
made, adding, "I want to say that the sec
ret of this sauce is the finish of it. There
was a lady in the East who was passion
ately fond of this sauce with her fish, but
there was only one place where she could
find it to her taste, although she visited
many places, and that was in a hotel in
New Orleans. When she put up at that
hotel she managed to see the chef of the
kitchen and learned from him the secret of
making successful sauce tartar, but it cost
her $5.
"The ?5 secret wassimply this," and she
held up to the view of the class a good sized
onion and a silver-plated knife. Then as
she used the knife to slice off the top of
the onion and pealed a part of the piece re
maining in her hand, in the same manner
that an apple is pared, she said, "the chef
did as I am doing, after which he remarked
to the curious lady who had purchased the
secret, 'Madame, you take your silver knife
so, and make a number of slices very close
together, then turn the onion in srour5 r our hand
and make some more slices so that they
cross the others and after that you cut oft
the sliced onion and put one little tea
spoonful to the sauce just before you send
it to the table, that is what givea it the good
taste you so admire.' That was the end of
the lesson that cost her $5."
GUARDING THE MISSION
The Home for Chinese Slave
Girls Under Police Pro-
tection.
Recent Threats Have Not Disturbed
the Matron, as She Is Accus
tomed to Them.
The finding of several sticks of dynamite
on the premises occupied by the Presbyte
rian Chinese Mission at Sacramento and
Prospect place has not disturbed Miss
Margaret Culbertson, the matron, in the
least, but the police department has taken
sufficient interest in the matter to place an
officer on duty at the mission to guard
against the possibility of danger to the
inmates.
Two weeks ago a pretty Chinese girl was
taken by force from one of the prominent
Chinese gamblers. She was placed in the
mission and is still there under the pro
tection of Miss Culbertson. At the time
the girl was removed from the house on
Bartlett alley the Chinese became very in
dignant and practically swore vengeance.
He is well known to the police as one of
the leading gamblers in Chinatown,
being a native son of considerable wealth
and a dangerous man.
On Mar eh 10 Miss Culbertson received a
letter written in Chinese warning her that
if she did not stop taking girls from their
owners she would be killed and misfortune
overtake those in whom she was inter
ested. She paid no attention to the warn
ing, as so many of a similar nature had
been received before. The police were not
even informed of the receipt of the letter,
j as it was not deemed of enough importance
by the matron.
In the caae of finding the dynamite it
was different, but even then no ward was
sent to the department until the oilicers
had informed her of the find.
When asked about the letter yesterday
Miss Culbertson said: "I paid no atten
tion to the note, and attach little import
ance to it now. 1 have received so niany
of -the same kind that I pay no attention to
them. The first thing I knew about the
dynamite being found was when Officer
Conlon called here and informed me it had
been found by his son, who delivers the
morning papers. I told him I had re
ceived no threats recently, and supposed it
had only been placed where it was to
frighten me.
"The officers made another search and
found two more sticks inside the grating
of the windows. About 9 o'clock I made
another search and found two sticks
wrapped in paper. I telephoned to the
Chief of Police and officers were sent
down. They made a thorough search but
could not find any more.
"No, I am not afraid of the brothel
keepers doing me any harm, although
they have frequently threatened to do so.
I believe the sticks were placed there more
to frighten me than anything else."
Officer Adams was detailed to investi
gate the case and guard the mission.
Nothing of .a positive nature has been
learned regarding the parties who placed
the explosive where found. One of the
officers who is in Chinatown frequently
said there was no doubt that there was
plenty of dynamite secreted there and
that the Chinamen knew how to use it.
"It Btands to reason," he said, "that the
laborers who have been working in quar
ries and along the railroads know how to
handle dynamite and that they get away
with a good bit of it while blasting. If
they had wanted to blow up the mission
they could very easily have done so, but
it looks as though the stuff was only placed
there as a bluff."
Miss Culbcrtson says the threat or effort
to intimidate her will have no effect on the
work of the mission. The victims of the
Celestials will be taken from them and
cared for in the home just the same.
A Rough and Tumble Fight.
There was a lively rough and tumble fight in
Harry Jacobs' saloon at 238 Fifth street last
night which resulted in the arrest of James
Hoye, a painter, for disturbing the peace.
Hoye and Jacobs quarreled because the former
was trying to impose upon one of the latter'a
patrons. Hoey went into the street and re
turned with a large cobblestone, which he
threw at Jacobs. In the fight that followed
Hoye was severely cut in the forehcaa and had
to be sent t« the hospital for repairs by Officer
Byan, who made the arrest.

A SUNDAY IN THE PARK
Some Talk About the Cost of
Maintaining the People's
Gardens.
THE TRACK FOR BICYCLISTS.
Saturday Concerts Abandoned-
Women on Bay Cobs—Beauti
ful Flowers.
"A little more watering and a little
more rolling then the new track for
bicyclers south of the speed track will be
finished," said Mr. McLaren, stiperinten
dent of Golden Gate Park in his office yes
terday.
"And it is to be hoped," added Com
missioner Austin, "that the bicyclers will
use it, for it will be a magnificent one and
one of which they ought tv feel proud.
They, by using this to reach the beach,
will be out of the way of the many teams
on the main drive and consequently will
have more freedom and be in less danger
than they are now."
"Yes, they'll use it after they have been
over it a few times," remarked Commis
sioner Rosenfeld. "All they want is to
know that it is open."
"By the way," saul Commissioner Aus
tin, "Mr. McLaren has received an Eastern
paper which gives some very interesting
figures which show how much the people
there expend on their parks, and these he
will submit at the next meeting of the
Commissioners."
There is in the paper referred to the
announcement that Chicago appropriates
the sum of $1,126,914 for the maintenance
of South Park, covering between 300 and
400 acres of ground. The sum of $421,340
is allowed to keep up Lincoln Park, which
covers but 250 acres, and $314,750 is allowed
for West Park. These parka are all in a
high state of cultivation and well kept.
Baltimore has allowed $1,000,000, for the
improvement of her parks, "while San
Francisco, which has one of 1100 acres and
the best opportunities for making it ono of
the finest in the world, has to struggle
alons,' on $200,000 a jear.
"For seven months in the year," re
marked Commissioner Austin, "we are
forced to spend a great deal of money that
in the East is not used for such a purpose.
I refer to water. If we want to keep the
park looking fresh and green for at least
seven months in the year we are forced to
water it. In the East they have frequent
rains. Why, to-morrow we will have to
put on fifty'men to water the grounds, and
that means money."
"You might say that these fifty men are
not new men, but they are men taken from
different parts of the park," said Commis
sioner Kosenfeld, interrupting. "If it was
simply stated that we were going to put
fifty men on we would have a thousand
men at our office lookine for jobs."
Superintendent McLaren stated that four
miles of pipe have been laid recently ex
tending from the panhandle to the western
extremity of tne park. Nine thousand
feet of pipe have been laid on the site of
the Midwinter Fair, with hydrants fifty
feet apart. Experience shows, the super
intendent said, that it is more satisfactory
to handle short lengths of hose than long
ones, hence the many hydrants. The ex
pense for water yearly, including the cost
of pumping, sprinkling carts and drivers
and the time of the men who have to water
the grounds, is nearly $20,000.

JOHN HOWARD. FRANK BARLANE.
[Sketched from life by a "Call " artist.]
over the city yesterday an immense crowd
of people assembled in the park. The
three points of attraction were the music
by Scheel's concert band, the museum and
the beautiful flowers in the conservatory.
The people who crowded the space in front
of the bandstand were charmed with the
splendid rendition of the several numbers,
but many asked why there was not a little
more of popular music, the kind that all
understand and which enthuses, and many
also wondered why the Saturday afternoon
concerts had been discontinued. They
were, it was ascertained on inquiry, aban
doned by order of Mr. Vining of the rail
road combine. This was a move in favor
of retrenchment, and as a result the many
who would go to the park on Saturday and
do not care to visit it on Sunday lose the
music, and the railroad combine loses
many fares.
The museum was crowded all day, and
while the people wandered from room to
room it was noticed that the one in which the
greatest number lingered was the one con
taining ancient armors and weapons. Since
the larceny from one of the cases of valu
able medals the guards have been unusu
ally vigilant.
The ever-attractive conservatory is at
present tilled with most beautiful flowers
of every hue. Among the most prominent
and attractive are tri-colored bell orchids
from Java, Gloxinias of many shades that
cause every woman who sees them to say
"How beautiful!" Cypnpedium from
Borneo, a very pretty flower that looks like
a minature pitcher plant, a beautiful col
lection of "lady's slipper" that is said to
be the finest that has ever been exhibited,
and azaleas, red pink and white.
During the afternoon two women ap
peared on the main drive and attracted a
great deal of attention. One attired in a
neat close-fitting riding habit, and wearing
a "plug hat" that rested on wavy golden
brown hair, rode astride on a bay cob, and
her companion, who also wore a neat riding
habit, rode a side saddle, also on a bay
cob.
The two styles 6f riding, as witnessed
side by side, drew forth much comment,
particularly from the fair sex. The ma
jority seemed to be of the opinion that the
man-fashion style of riding appeared to be
the most comfortable, and the style of
dress was no more objectionable than the
ordinary riding habit.
A number of young dudes assembled to
the north of the band stand and between
numbers made themselves very annoying
by "guying" persons around them. Cap
tain Thomson detailed one of his men to
make the dudes behave, but they heeded
not his warnings. The Captain then
caught the most persistent one in the
crowd and "persuaded" him that it would
be better for nim and his crowd to remain
quiet. The persuasion proved a salutary
one and the annoyance ceased.
Fell From a Train.
John-Edward Fischer, a cook employed in a
restaurant on Third and Clementina streets,
left with a picnic party for the Santa Cruz
Mountains yesterday morning. When the
train was nearing Los Gatos Fischer was acci
dentally knocked off the platform of the car
and the train left him behind. He was after
ward picked up and taken to Los Gatos. He
reached the city last night and waa taken to
the Receiving "Hospital, where it was found
that his tongue had almost been cut in two by
the fall and his face was badly cut. He lives at
21 Harrison avenue.

THAT THEATRICAL ROW
Both Mr. Harley and Mr.
Krause Declined to Be
Blamed.
Delicate Points of Professional Eti
quette Injured in the
Fray.
Most of the principals and all of the
chorus in the casts of both "Robinson
Crusoe" and the "Fencing Master" were
busy yesterday talking about the row be
tween Manager Charles Krause of the
Tivoli Theater ana Manager John F. Har
ley of the Whitney Opera Company, which
was producing the "Fencing Master" at
the Baldwin Theater last week.
Both Mr. Krause and Mr. Harley were
seen yesterday evening, and at the point
where physical violence is alleged to have
entered the theme of discussion the two
stories diverge.
Mr. Harley said: "I am very sorry the
thing occurred, and to a great extent
blame myself for losing my temper and
being hasty. The facts, however, are these :
I "went to the Tivoli with my wife and one
or two friends and asked for a box. I was
told I could have one if I paid for it. I
paid for it. Nothing was said about the
bouse being crowde<f, but Mr. Krause said
when I introduced myself:
"'Oh, I'm tired of you Baldwin people.'
I was from the 'Fencing Master,' not the
Baldwin Theater. That made no differ
ence, bo I paid for the box. Later, when I
saw Krause in the Baldwin, I asked him if
he had paid for his admission. He ad
mitted that he had not, and I told him to
leave the house, Then I lost my temper
and used my boot on him."
Manager Krause at the box-office of the
Tivoli told an entirely different story.
"There was no such thing as personal vio
lence entering into the quarrel at all," said
he. "Mr. Harley demanded a box from a
'standing-room' house, and was told that
the house was full. Then, the compli
mentary box being refused, he paid for it.
When I went to the Baldwin I was told to
leave by Mr. Harley, after I had offered to
pay for my admission. No money would
be accepted, and I left the house without
anything more than a remonstrance.
"He never presumed to lay hands on
me, for if he had I should have taken the
law into my own hands. Do I look," added
Mr. Krause, "like a man who would stand
being assaulted without remonstrance?"
Thus ended the personal row, but among
the theatrical people in town the recontte
was the prime theme of discussion. Physi
cally Krause is much the heavier, but
Harley has a record for impetuosity and
ill-brooks in-sults, fancied or real. As he
admits himßelf, he lost his temper. The
question of probable police action on the
ground of assault was ridiculed by both
men, and the chances are that, save for a
possible stiffness in conduct when they
meet again, the men will be friends.

PARISH PRIESTS NAMED
Father Kirby Assumes Charge
of the New St. Agnes
Church.
SUPEBIOR OF THE PATJLISTS.
Father Wyman Appointed to Suc
ceed Father Brady of
St. Mary's.
Rev. Father Kirby has been appointed
pastor of the new parish of St. Agnes by
the Most Rev. Archbishop Riordan, and
Rev. Father Wyman has been named
superior of the Paulist community at old
St. Mary's Church on California street to
succeed the late Father Brady.
Father Kirby preached his first sermon
Rev. Father Wyman.
[Drawn from a photograph.]
at St. Agnes Church, which is a neat little
edifice on Masonic street, near Page, at the
high mass yesterday morning. The church
was built as an outside mission to the
Sacred Heart parish, and was under the
jurisdiction of Rev. Father Flood.
Father Kirby is a young man of zeal and
talent. He was born at Listowel, County
Kerry, Ireland, on April 16, 1860. His
early education was gained at Mount
Melleray and at All Hallows. Later he
attended the seminary of St. Sulpice in
Paris. On the 17th of March, 1883, he was
ordained by Bishop Higgins of Kerry, Ire
land. He "came to San Francisco in the
spring of 1883. His first appointment was
as chaplain of St. Mary's College, from
where he was transferred to Father King's
church in Oakland. Later he served two
years as assistant to Father Serda at Tem
escal. On September 2, 1885, he was ap
pointed as assistant at the cathedral,
where he has since resided. Of his family
a brother is a priest, Rev. Thomas Kirby,
at Mission Dolores, and two 6isters are
members of the Presentation Order, Sister
Augustine in Berkeley, and Sister de Sales
in the Powell-street convent, this city.
FatherWy man has long been a Pauiist mis
sionary and is well known throughout the
United States. He prefers missionary work
to the cares and responsibility of a pariah
and looks forward to the appointment of a
permanent superior to succeed him that
he may go into the country and preach.
"We have received requests for mis
sionaries from different parishes all over
the coast," he said yesterday, "and we are
anxious to comply. Missionary work is
tne object of the order, and for myself I
much prefer that field. If we had the
priests we could send them north to Wash
ington and south to Arizona. Besides, Cal
ifornia and Nevada must be looked after."
The work of remodeling old St. Mary's
Church will begin this week. The interior
is to be handsomely painted and frescoed,
and the idea of the Paulists is to make the
historic tabernacle one of the most beauti
ful in the city.
FIRST OPENING CRUISE
The California Yacht Club Was
Out in Force on the
Bay.
A Water Carnival to Be Given In
Honor of the Visiting Na
tive Sons.
The California Yacht Club held its first
cruise yesterday. It was to have been
sailed by signal from the flagship, but
just at the start the commodore's craft was
disabled and orders were given to the fleet
to go as they pleased.
Commodore Bruce expected to have his
yacht Rover in shape by yesterday, but
was unable to pet her in readiness. When
this became known to Captain Nutz he
tendered the use of his yacht the Pride of
the Bay to the commodore for a flagship,
which offer was accepted.
As the Pride of the Bay was leaving the
creek and getting into open water a heavy
slant of wind struck her and she parted a
link in her bobstay. This of course neces
sitated heaving to to make repair, which
took almost an fcour. The fleet went on to
the city, then along the water front and
over to'Sausalito.
"When the flagship reached the channel
they found a most interesting state of af
fairs. There was a gale a-blowing that
made the yacht shorten canvas and run
for shelter. The commodore eased off the
sheet and made for the lee of Angel
Island, where were found the Harpoon,
Little, Annie, La Paloma, Cisul, Queen
and several others.
From Angel Island all the way up the
upper bay there was hardly enough wind
for the yacht to stem the tide. This being
the case, it was found impossible to make
Sausalito by way of the straits. A double
reef was tucked into the Pride and the
commodore again started out into the
nasty weather.
Tne work of this craft was fine, and she

The girls were beautifully dressed in
white with long, flowing veils, while the
boys wore white ribbons on their coats.
The parents and friends of the children
were present in large numbers and the
scene was a brilliant one.
The Archbishop explained the doctrine
