AN ATTRACTIVE PARTY.

One delightful Halloween party was carried outlast night on original lines. The host and hostesslive in a large apartment house that boasts a par-ticularly attractive restaurant with open fireplace,

small round tables of black oak and other {esthetic

adjuncts.This was engaged for the evening, and a curtain

arranged at one end made a temporary stage. Thecompany gathered about 9 o'clock and were re-ceived by a tiny Mephlsto in approved garb ofred in the quaint room that was lighted only by the.hearth flre and scattered candles. Each guest,

after being divested of wraps, was led behind thecurtain to have the future revealed. A palmistin black robe covered with mystic symbols In red.was the seer. . ":• ,\u25a0-

At 11 o'clock th» curtains. were drawn aside andIn the dim light the ghost scene from Hamlet whsenacted by some talented amateurs.

This was followed by a performance of Salnt-Saens*s weird "Danse Macabre" by a pianist, andthen the Incantation scene from Macbeth wasgiven.

Having thus "supped full of horrors, *the com-

pany was invited to partake of more exhilaratingfood, and chafing dishes were made to furnish lob-ster a la Newbiirg and Welsh rarebits In abun-dance, with Kngiish ale and other liquids.

AT A STUDENTS' CLUB.The sober old walls of St Mirks Church, at

Tenth-st. and Second-aye.. echoed with merrysounds last night when the members of St. Mark'sStudents' Club met for the first time in their newQuarters to celebrate All Halloween. Only mem-bers of the club, the Rev. Dr. Batten, rector ofthe church, and Miss Jane Hail, a deaconess of theparish, were present. There were apple peelingtests, ducking for apples, launchings of walnutshells In tubs of water and dropping of lead intowat-.-r. all designed to forecast hints as to namesand professions of future life partners.

The formal opening of the clubroom will takeplace on November 10, when William M. Chase willgive a lecture on Whistler. This willbe the first ofa series of entertainments by prominent men andwomen, which will be given every two weeks. The

club Is the outgrowth of the effort of Dr. Battento reach out of town students who are studying in

the city, and who have no home or social attach-ments while here. Dr. Batten was until recently

professor of Hebrew in the Philadelphia DivinitySchool, and has brought with him to his new worka large Interest in young people. The organizationof the club and the fitting up ol the room has been

the work of Miss Hall. The spacious apartmentwhich has been devoted to the club is back of th-

main auditorium of the church, its entrance being

on Eleventh-st. With its five sides, low walls,high wainscoting md panelled ceiling. Miss Hallrecognized its possibilities and has made the mostof them. Among its antiquities are a number orchairs which were in the church when it was first

opened. The tiny paned windows an- draped withpretty muslin curtains, the walls are hung withpictures, and the platform Is furnished with a nig

and a well equipped writing table. Across onecorner stands a venerable china closet, filled with

dishes. Across another Is a Franklin stove, -with abig copper tea kettle. Old time tables, with maga-

zines and books, comfortable chairs, settles andbenches, withbright sofa pillows in profusion. ar«scattered about the room. Not the least interesting

object is the tea table, from which tea Is servedevery afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Men and women are admitted to th» club by in-troduction from members. The dues are $1 n year.There are no rules and regulations. The rlunrnomIs open every day between 3 and in p. m . and allday on Sunday. If the members desire. it will beopened mornings nlpo.

The patronesses of the club are Mrs. Turing W .Batten Mrs George L. Paine.. Miss Ethel Brown.Mrs. Cornelius B. Mitchell. Mrs. John BrooksLaeavttt and Miss Coy.

THE PEN AND BRUSH—

THE

MYSTIC BOGIE MAN.

The Pen and Brush, a club ct women writers andartists, celebrated Halloween in the good old fash-

ioned way last night. Their pretty clubroom. at

No. 22 West Twenty-secondV-st-, presented a quaintand inviting aspect, with the traditional decora-tions of pumpkin lanterns, strings of red peppers,corn husks and can He light.

Fortune telling occupied th" early part of theevening. Miss Mary Annable Fanton making apicturesque seer^ss. Then *ame the ghost stories,

which were either read or told, some of them orig-inal and veritable -shilling shockers." Among theetory tellers wr'e Mrs. Ernest Spton-Thompson.

At the mystic hour of 12 many familiar Hal-loween tricks were indulged in. such as "snapdragon" and the "blue flime." the latter consisting

of individual saucers of F*\t and alcohol, whichwere set afire one by one. while the owner of eachrepeated an Incantation, told n story, recited apoem or sang a song, and if the flame burned out

before the end a forfeit was the result.The bogle man caused a good deal of merriment.

A pumpkin mask was suspended in a dark closetana presented a truly eerie and demonlike expres-s.on. with burnt cork eyebrows and paper horns.Candles illuminated the mask, behind which Rtooa

a shrouded figure. Each guest whs led up in turnto hear the prophetic words of the oracle, whoseidentity was later revealed In the person of ErnestSeton-Thompson. The supper hour was fixed for

10 o'clock, when a true Halloween rppns; wasserved, in which the chafing dish figured con-spicuously.

An instructive tecture on -Exercise a* Remedy"eras given yesterday at 10 o'clock by Dr. H^nrrL!r.g Taylor in Mrs. King's studio. No. 923 Eighth-ave.. The lecture being one of a covrse on physicalemtara. s

Dr. Taylor began by glvir.g a brief description ofthe construction of the body and the action andcontraction of the rr.us as voluntary anl involun-tary. He ther allowed how exercise affected them,stating that experiment proved that excessive ex-ercise was harrr.: d to the brain an '. excessive men-tal effort reduced the iphyilcal power. A test wasmade a*Tale by makinga c.ass in the gymr.aslum*\u25a0"\u25a0"- an ho-r*s violent exercise and giving aclass \u25a0'. psychology an hour of Intense applicationto st'j'ir. The gymnasium boys Trere so exhaustedmental;?- as well as physically that few of themeouJd"' remember the combination that unfastenedtheir lockers, while the class in psychology, beingtaken (ilrectlr to the gymnasium, was unable to gothrougU its ordinary exercises. This was owing to

''' • iitimate relation between the nerve centres ofhrafr. ar,<i spine and the muscular system.

Dr. Taylor emphasized the necessity for exercis-ing tr.ier proper conditions, Baying; that too muchIs as bad as too little. The exercise that comesthrough occupation, he said, was important, and areasonable amount of housework furnish* a prettygood home gymnasium. Outdoor games are espe-cially good, as they combine exercise, fresh airar.d interest.

The Police Commissioners set to work yestenlayafternoon at Z o'clock, and were busy till a latehour last r.ight going; over the records and decid-ing on a perrer.taee to represent the "fitness" ofthe different candidates The Bo.\rd m»t Informal-ly and went wrer the figures, and to-day they willformally pass the list they made up last nlpht.

The Civil Service Board is almost certain to re-fuse to accept the ratings of the Police Commls-slopers, who Insist they have the rlsrht to fix thepercentage representing "ntness." an.i willdemandthat :he Police Board send down the actual recordsof the rn*n so that the CtrD Service Commission-ers may decide the fitness of the men.

PEREMPTORY DEMAND FROM THE I ITT CIVIL.

SERVICE BOARD AND LACK OF MONET TO

PAT ADVANCED OFFICERS.

The long expected promotions in the Police De-partment are coming soon, If the Police Board andthe CivilService Board can agree as to the properratings for merit of the candidates for the severalranks. The Police Commissioners, after a waitof months, met yesterday afternoon and worked tilla late hour last night getting the ratings together.

The records of the men who have applied for pro-motion and taken the examinations of the Munlr-pal CivilService Board have been in the possessionof th« Police Commissioners for a long time. Itwas said at first that there was a controversy be-tween the Police Board and the CivilService Com-missioners as to which should make the rating for"fitness." and that for this reason the Police Boardwould hold the records back Indefinitely. It hasbeen known for some time, however, that therehas been a deadlock in the Police Board Itself, andthat the Commissioners did not agree as to the per-centages the men should receive.

Ar HI two weeks ago the State Civil ServiceBoard sent men down to this city and ascertainedthe number of officer* in the Decartment servingin an acting capacity, and they found one sergeantwho had been acting as a captain for over fouryears. The State Board called the attention of theMunicipal Civil Service Board to this, and saidthat the Police Board was evading the law in al-lowing this condition to exist so long.

Ban Francisco. Oct. Sl.—On Unimak Island, whichguards one of the entrances to the Behrtn* Sea. a Irude mound of rocks marks the last resting place

'of Charles William Anderson, sailor, fisherman and Jhunter. Anderson starved to death on the bleak iand barren Island, watting for friends who de- !serted him. He died on June 15, I«W>. and his skele- !ton In his bunk and his diary beside it were found jby two hunters who were driven on the island in a !storm. Th*» diary was addressed to Andrew Cos- jwold, of Ur.ga. who arrived here a few days ago

•with his friend's last writings.

Several vessels passed by Andersons island'

prison, the record reads, but none saw his flag of jdistress. Once a vessel was becalmed close to the Ishore, and he tried to reach it.but he had not the •strength left to launch his little boat. His legs had :failed him. and he could only pullhimself along hyhis elbows.

He deliberated on shooting his do* r>«mrsey. buthe could not get up enough courage t<-> slay hisfaithful friend. "He brought seals to me through :the breakers." he wrote, "and Ifed him as long asIcould

"Finally th» dog disappeared

The diary records the terrible sufferings of Ander-son from thirst and hi* expeditions after fresh iwater. The last entry says: "June 1!*-Now Imust
