Men Enjoy Oysters
and Good Fellowship j
The Men's Rible Class of Christ'
Church was the guest of W. P. Hast- j
Inus Thursday night at the parish j
house on Church street. The con-1
census of opinion, had it been taken |
before the supper was served, was.
that an oyster stew was Just an oys
ter stew, no matter where stewed, i
but after supper every man 'present j
realized that there are oyster rtews
and oyster stews, and that this one
was of the kind spelled with capitals
and underscored. Mr. Hastings was
given heartfelt?the heart wasn't
the most pleased member however?
thanks by an unanimous rising vote
for his delicious supper.
After eats, general discussion was
indulged in as to organization and
the plans of the Rible class for the
winter. The suggestion was made,
among many others, that a challenge
be made the Women's Rible Class to
an attendance race, but no formal
action was taken. The women, how-j
ever, may take notice.
W. F. Hastings was elected pres
ident and C. M. Griggs was elected
secretary of the class....both unani
mously. W. I*. Skinner, ex officio,
is treasurer, and O. R. Little is the
popular teacher. It was suggested
that the treasurer be bonded for a
thousand dollars but no one could be
induced to stand his bond, so the
cla?s was forced to have faith.
After a meeting of real fellowship
and 9 deep sense of gratefulness to
the president, each left fully satis
fled with the world, hoping for an
other feast just like it in the near
future, the nearer the better.

STE1NMETZ DIES
AT SCHENECTADY
Klrclrioal Wizard Suffers*
Breakdown Kiilliiwiiij! Itr
liiru from Trip to Pacific
('<?a-l.
Sctu'ln ctady. K. Y., Oct. 2fi.?l)r.'
Charles Proteus Stelnmetz. ekctrlcal
wizard, died at his home here today,'
following a physical breakdown due
to a trip to the Pacific coast from
which he recently returned.
Stelnmetz found the trip too stren
uous und was forced to take his bed
on his return on October 13.
He awoke in a cheerful frame of
mind today and seemed to he re
covering^ but died while his break
l fast was being prepared.
The American career of Charles
| P. Steinmet? A.M., Ph.D., chief con
sulting eifKineer of the General Elec-I
trie Works. Schenectady. N. V., had
Its beginning in New York in 1~389
where, penniless and able to speak
but very little English, he arrived
from Zurich. Switzerland. He was
accompanied by a young American
who had been his fellow student at
jthe Zurich Polvtechnicium.
One side of Stelnmetz's face was
I badly swollen as the result of a
| trifling illness aboard ship and the
immigration authorities sit Kills Isl-.
;and refused at first to allow him to
'enter the country. He was sent to
the "detention |en" and was only
released by the eloqut nee and per
suasion of his American companion.
! A few yearn later he became a nat-,
iuralized citizen.
At the time of his death I)r. Stein-!
metz was regarded not only as one
of tin foremost authorities on elec
trical engineering but one of the
greatest mathematicians in the
world. Strangely enough, one of his
greatest difficulties as a child was
in learning the multiplication table. ;
Horn in the city of llreslau. Ger
Imany, on April 0. 1865 and educat-'
ed at Its famous university, young
Stelnmetz early becam*- interested in
Socialism at a time when vigorous
st^ps were being taken against it by j
the government. An Issue of a So
cialist publication In which the stu-1
dents were interested and Jji which
Stelnmetz had several articles, was
confiscated, the publication suspend
ed and the editors arretted and im
prisoned. Stelnmet* fled from Ger
many and found refuge with a
friend, a clergyman, near the Aus
Itrlan border. Prom there he went
to Zurich.
Two weeks after landing In Am
erica. Stelnmetz obtained employ
ment In the manufacturing estab
lishment of Kudolph Klckameyer at
Yonkers, N Y., as a draftsman. At
that time the company was making
a few electric motors and genera
tor* and had just taken up work on
the problems of the electric street
cj?r. Jointly with Stephen I). Field.
All the designs for the experiments
with the electric cars passe<Lthrough
his hands. Quarters for a labora
tory were obtained and he began to
specialize, on magnetic, testing. His
writings on electrical subjects be
gan to attract attention, his discus-'
slon of the law of hysteresis elicit
ing much Ihterest on the part of,
electrical engineers.
In 1802, the General Electric
Company bought tin- electrical man
ufacturing business of the Elckemey
er Company except the making of
motor* for elevator*, which the Otis
Company took over to It* own plant,
and Stelnmetx went to the Lynn,
Max* , work* of the General Elec
trlc Company. In January, 1803. he
wa* transferred to the Schenectady
work*, and lia* *lnce that time made
Schenectady his home, In 1912. lie
was appointed president of tlie hoard
of education of Schenectady, and In
191S, wa* elected president of th<
common council of that city on the
Socialist ticket. He never married.
I)r. Stelnmetr. nerved for many
terms as the president of nntlonRi
and International societies connected
with the electrical Industry. Har
vard honored him with the degree of
Master of Art* and I'nlon College
made him a I?octor of Philosophy.
Since. 1 91.1. he had served 1'nlon
College as professor of electrical en
glneerlng and electrophysic*

his pal Frank Sneed. colored hoy of
about the same age Wednesday af

I irk of the old colored cemetery
Just north of the city. The boys were

Although according to eye-wit

j The hoys Sneed and Grimes left
for the cemetery to hunt. When they
reached the woods'jack of the ceme
tery Sneed, who had the rifle under
his arm with the point of the barrel
f'icing th?? rear, took the lead with
Grimes following him.
According to Snend, every few

would take hold of the rifle barrel.
This was repeated several times. In
some way when Grimes grabbed the
ri.'Ie barrel the last time the trigger

firing and the ball entering the body
of Grimes near the heart. As soon
