Iowa State Bystander

IOWA STATE BYSTANDER. I. D. G. L. No. 30, G. U. O. O. F. THE TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL SESSION. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows Met in Colfax, July 14th, 15th and 16th. VOL. 10. I. D. G. I G. U. C THE TWENTY-SECOND The Grand Unite Fellows Met 14th, 15th J. T. MABRY, Re-elected District Grand Master of the I. D. G. L. No. 30. The lodge was called to order at 10:30 a.m. m., the 14th, by Grand Master John T. Mabry of Davenport. The roll was called and the followed an swerved present: D. G. M. J. John T. Mabry, Davenport; D. G. M. George, Hiller, Davenport; D. G. M. Hillier, Davenport; D. G. T. P. S. Ervin, Charlton, after which the grand master appointed the following grand officers: D. G. chapain, D. T. Moseley, Clevland; D. G. O. G., C. H. Prentice, F. Madison; D. G. I. G. G. D. Newman, Charlton; D. G. W. Edward H. Howard, Davenport. The lodge was then declared open for business. D. G. I. G. G. D. Newman was delivered by Mayor Hahn of Cofax, who '1 a few well chosen words declared Colfax open to the Odd Fellows and their friends. The response was made by M. V. P. George E. Lee, D. D. G. M. The District Grand Household was then sent for to hear the Grand Master's address, after which remarks were made, and the members of the lodge and household, and the balance of the day was given over to business of a routine nature. Wednesday's session was called to order at 9:30 a.m. m. At roll call both officers and delegates answered present with some few exceptions, and the business of the day. Many committees were appointed by the D. G. M., and they soon began hunting up business for their report. At 10:30 we adjourned to hear the address of D. M. N. G. at the hall, where the D. G. H. H. was in session. After Sister Anna Parker delivered her address as D. M. N. G. short speeches were made by D. G. M. John T. Mabry, M. G. George E. Lee, M. G. O. Torres, M. G. M. H. S. Clay and others. The lodge then returned to their hall and again went into secret session. By this time members had began to come in from all over the state, and through the instruction of the lodge all admitted on quarterly pass word and the lodge hall was soon filled. Wednesday afternoon was given over mostly to election of officers, and as there will be no more elections for two years many were those who would be elected. The man seemed to have a friend to take his part on the floor, but everything was done in a friendly way and no hard feeling existed whatever. The man who was defeated shook hands with the successor, and the man seemed smoothly along. After the ballots were counted the following were declared elected: D. G. M., John T. Mabry of Davenport. D. G. M., Geo. E. Lee of Buxon. D. G. S., Alfred L. Triplet of Keokuk. D. G. T., Major Barber of Evans. D. G. D., T. J. James of Colaf. Bro. W. R. Frazier of Des Moines worked hard to get the Grand Lodge to meet in *Des Moines* in 1905, but by some means Keukul delegates carried the day. Bros. George E. Lee, W. H. Reeves and Rev. C. H. Mendhenall were on hand to represent Buxton in the session, but they seemed to be like the race bulletin which names the winner and then says others also ran. The Grand Lodge seemed to be fortunate this year, as every one of those present seemed to be an orator of some kind. Thursday all committee reported and the business part of the session was closed to Buxton in the parade, which was already being formed downstairs by the D. G. M., Bro. J. S. James. As is usual, Buxton people were there in great numbers to do honor to her famous band, which was engaged to furnish music for that occasion. The parade formed in front of her famous band in front, then came the Colfax lodge, then visiting lodges, then delegates and past grand masters, then --- A Week Among the Secret Socities of Iowa Household of Colafx in carriages, delegates to the D. G. H. and household officers, all in carriages, also Buxton household, then D. G. lodge officers, except D. G. M. and D. D. G. M., who are both patriforms, so they marched in front of the speakers. After marching through the principal streets of Colafx the Grand Director marched the lodges to a park, where seats had been arranged and a platform for the speakers. After a few moments rest Bro. P. G. M. H. Slay presented the D. G. M., Bro. J. T. Mabry, as the president of the day. The president, then deuced Lawyer J. B. Rush of Moines, also rev. C. H. Mendhall of Buxton, and Eddle Carter of the S. U. I. Rev. Graves of Des Moines gave the invocation, and many were the good things that the speakers said. In fact, each speaker seemed to be at his best. After the speaking was over the back of the back and the back next and all marched back to the hall seemingly well pleased with what had been said and done. A banquet and public installation was held at the Odd Fellows hall Thursday night. The newly elected officers were installed by the M. J. M. Institute. The D. G. H. H. officers were also installed by the same brothers. As I don't know the initials of all the D. G. H. H. officers I won't attempt to give them. Our installation was over the D. G. M. John T. Mabry, declared the D. G. L. closed to meet in Keokuk the third Tuesday in July, 1905. Yours fraternally. JOHN T. MABRY, D. G. M. MADE THE FLEA TOO STRONG. Two Over-Zealux Youngsters Work Alone! Thiamines Out of a Job The working members of a family consisting of a father and two sons found themselves out of employment. After a diligent search, the youngest son found employment on the Roxborough filter plant, helping to dig the excavations. On the completion of the first day's work he asked Mr. McNichol to give his brother a job. The contractor, ever in the alert for good men, asked the young man if his brother could work as he and on the strength of this recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to to McNichol and pleaded to have their father put on the job. "Can your father do as much work as either of you boys?" asked McNichol. "Yes," answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us together." "Good," replied McNichol. "Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home."—Philadelphia Ledger. ACCORDING TO HIS FOLLY. Fresh Young Man Who Bantered Jan Answered in Kind A young Japanese composer employed on a Japanese paper hardy a stone's throw from the Mall and Express building, was riding down town in a city hall train the other morning. He was engrossed in his morning paper and paid little attention to the other passengers. But a fresh-looking young man who sat next to him, and cynically ceying him all along, suddenly said: "What sort of a 'nese' are you, anyway? A Chinese or a Japanese?" The little Jap was not caught napking. Quick as a wink he replied: "What sort of a 'key' are you anyway; a monkey, a donkey, or a Yankee?" The fresh young man had no more to say and left the train quickly when City Hall station was reached—New York Mall and Express. Less Noise on the Fourth. There are many symptoms of a growing desire on the part of adult Americans for aformed observance of the law. The family is quite general that juvenile America has been allowed to exaggerate the explosive features of our great national festival and that something may be well done to celebrate the day in ways that mean move and sound less. —New York World.

Langerman, Morocco's commissioner to the world's fair, has just bought the Moorish sultan a brace of mules, a number of Angora cats and goats, some fancy dogs and a pacer and a span of fine carriage and horse were of the same carriage, horses were Buff and Blue, well-known ribbon winters in their cost the sultan $2,000. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1903. KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS, International Order of Twelve, Successor to Knights of Liberty. State Grand Held Held in Albia July 8th State Grand Held Held in Albia July 8th gatees and Visitors Attend. The seventh annual grand session of the I. O. of Twelve Knights, and Daughters of Tabor for the district of Iowa convened at Alba at their hall at 10 o'clock Tuesday, July 7th. Open in Salia Meroe degree. The following temples were represented at roll call: King Solomon No. 333, Buxton; Banner No. 90, Osakalao; Starlight No. 408, Evans; Tarnabecras, Bethel No. 82, Fort Madison; Delegate Luciel Holmes, Star No. 38, Alba; delegate, Eliza Belysan, Hackett No. 64, Buxton; delegate, Addie Johnson, Gates Ajar No. 94, Burlington; delegate, Margaret Drew, Queen of Iowa, Evans; delegate, John D. Blysan, Des Moines, delegate, Mary L. Holmes; Montrose, No. 39, Mt. Pleasant, delegate, Harriet Poston. The International Order of Twelve, Knights of Tabor, was first known as the Knights of Liberty, a secret society from the first. After the war had settled the question of negro freedom the name of the order was changed in 1873 as above, and because twelve men were members of the Knights of Liberty the number Twelve wag preserved in the new name. At this time ladies were admitted to membership. The new order is to perpetuate the noble deeds of the Knights of Liberty for though there were hundreds, even thousands at the opening of war there were few when the war was over. Their motto was: "We have the power to give what thing to gain." Everybody knows the bravery and valor of the colored troops. The I, O, of 12, Knights of Tabor, now number over 8,000 members, is in every state and territory, there is a children's department and four Temples are organized among the American Indians. They have temples for orphans and the Filipinos. It is for the uplifting of the race, education, philanthropy, the best of everything for the colored race. They have twelve degrees which have been criticised by the ablest men of the world, and these are pronounced of a high type, rituals, badges and all work are wholly original with the colored people. We applied to Mrs. Susie Snodly of Albia, district grand recorder for delegates present. The following is the list: Sir W. W. Jones, D. G. M., of Buxon; Sir W. H. Cook of Buxton; Sir George Chambers, D.-G. O., of Fort Madison; D. Margaret Drew, D. G. P.; of Burlington; D. M. E. Dixon, P. D.; D. M. E. Dixon, P. D.; Holmes of Ft. Madison; D. Adille Johnson, H. P., of Buxon; D. Mary L. Holmes, H. P., of Des Moines; D. Emma Willis, H. P., of Evans; D. Nettie Davis, H. P., of Des Moines; D. Lucy Courtney, P. H., of Des Moines; D. Susie London, P. H., P. of Buxon; D. Sarah Jones of Des Moines; D. Susie Jefferson, P. D. M., Des Moines. Tuesday evening a reception was tendered to the visiting delegates in the hall, which was well attended and much enjoyed. The sessions of Wednesday were given to routine business. Thursday afternoon the election of grand officers took place, which resulted in the election of C. G. M., Sir W. H. Cook; D. G. P., Dusie Snoddy, Albia; D. S. R. T., Susie London, Buxton. At 2:30 the delegates and visitors formed in procession at the hall in full regalia, and by the band marched to the A. M. E. church, where the annual sermon was preached by the Chambers of Fort Madison. In the evening there was a public installation of grand officers in the new armory followed by a grand bail. The state session has been of extreme interest to the members and people of Albuquerque. At 3:00 the D. G. P., A. L. Drew of Burlington, D. G. P., got word whence that her husband, one of Uncle Sam's rural mail carriers, had had a runaway and been injured. She was making preparations to leave for her home when the second telegram announced the death of her husband, to call for her return, so she stayed and filled out her work. The delegates were entertained at the following Albia homes: Mrs. Elizabeth Grayson entertained Mr. and Mrs. Davis of Des Moines, and Mrs. Holmes and Rev. Chambers of Fort Radcliffe. The delegates were entertained at Des Moines Rigs: London and Johnson of Buxton and Mrs. Jefferson of Des Moines; Mrs. J. H. Boddy entertained Mrs. Drew of Burlington, Mrs. Dixon of Keokuk, Mrs. Holmes of Des Moines and Mrs. Willis of Evans; Mrs. Ed Butler entertained Shelton of Chariton, Mrs. Clint Stevenson entertained Mrs. Bannockhock, and Mrs. Henry Jones entertained Mrs. Courty and daughter of Des Moines, also D. G. M. Sir W. W. Jones and Sir W. H. Cook of Buxton. The procession from the hall to the church, the sermon by Rev. Chambers, were all highly creditable to the order and coined praise which closed the proceedings much enjoyed by a large crowd. All in all the Grand Lodge was a fine success. Palmetto Hotte a Millennia. Count Hamong, better known in the United States as Cheiro, the palmetto hawker, has written a lionaire, writes a Paris correspondent. The only known man to make a million telling fortunes has bought a chateau in the champagne country, where he has gone to cultivating vines. CHRISTIE B. SMITH With pleasure we present the cut of Geo. L. Suter of Marshall-town, an unassuming man, but who is the pioneer of Eureka lodge No. 20, having organized it and made it what it is, with the cooperation of others. He has masonry at heart and understands masonic jurisprudence, perhaps better than any man of his age in Iowa. He is past master of his lodge, past senior grand warden and at present chairman of the committee on jurisprudence and code revision, which is a very important committee this year. Mr. Suter at one time lived in Des Moines. He is right engineer at the city water works, and is well liked, as he is punctual, honest and reliable about his work. There are still greater honors for him we hope. W. A. SEARCY. Rev. Searcy was born in North Carolina, 1863; entered the public school at the age of seven and was in school until fifteen years of age. He was converted in 1880, licensed as an exhorter in 1881; licensed as local preacher in 1882, and came to Iowa in 1883 and served as supply pastor awhile. The reverend joined the Iowa annual conference at Moline, Ill., in 1896 and was stationed at Iowa City where he took up special work in the state university. Rev. Searcy joined the masonic lodge in 1884 at Muchakinock, Iowa, and was charter master of Cedar Grove lodge No. 4. At Burlington in 1886 he was arched and knighted, served as High priest of the Royal Arch Chapter, Eminent Commander of the commandery, chosen District Deputy Grand High Priest in 1899; was elected Junior Grand Warden in 1891. Mrs. Flora Ray who is visiting her sister Mrs. Thomas Patton is confined to her bed by the asthams. Mrs. Emily Terry and daughter Anna served a three course lunch a few days since to Rev. and Mrs Ford and vis ting friends. Frank Rivera has accepted the position as cook for a wanderville. "A. Woman the cause of is all, which will start from Boone this week. We hear that Jas. Robinson has reigned his position as chief at the North-Western Hotel. A small fishing party was arranged for last Friday and enthusiasm tian high, (thinking of the fish we would not catch), but the game was blocked by a copious rain. Mrs. Mary Clay gave an ase cream social at the Hall last. Thursday evening. Those present report a plenitude time. The funeral of the late John T. W. Washington took place last Wednesday at 2:30 P. M. from the Gospel Tabernacle formerly known as the Presbyterian church. The funeral was very largely attended. The floral offering was abundant, consisting of several beautiful designs and home grown flowers. The grave was artificially lived with sheet cotton and this was covered with beautiful flowers. The casket was a beautiful machination, the coloring being the ash of roses. The beautiful silver plate, bore the words, John T. Washington the same plate ta mother had removed for a keep sake. The picture of the flowers having been taken before departing from the house, the casket was lowered into the grave just as it appeared at the funeral thus presenting a most magnificent spectacle. JAMES WASHINGTON. James Washington, one of the leading and enterprising business men of Sioux City, has served as master of Decatur lodge and has also been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, and has served on many important committees. Such is the unprecedented demand for space on the part of machinery men that the space available for a machinery exhibit on the Iowa State Fair Grounds has practically all been taken. There is no doubt the exhibit of machinery will be the finest and most extensive ever seen in Iowa, if not the finest ever seen in the west. Opportunity for Treasure Hunters. Nearly one hundred years ago the Jesuits were banished from Mexico. It was known that they had immense empathy but it feared to tempt empathy by taking it all with them. What they did with the bulk of their savings has just been revealed by Pierre Gulreu, who says that treasure to the value of over £4,000,000 was buried beneath the old cathedral in the little town of Typozottan, and is believed to be there yet. Child's Home to be Apartment House The famous palace occupied by the late George W. Childs of the Philadelphia Ledger, which cost him over $1,000,000, is to be transformed into an apartment house. A. S. Mrs Etta M. Jackson of Buxton was elected District Most Noble Governor, Household of Ruth No. 21, Iowa state jurisdiction. She is the present Most Noble Governor of local lodge No. 312, Buxton.

A hatter had just finished selling a hat to an Irishman. "The Irish," he said, "have heads of short shine, long and oval, and very large. The American has a head shaped very much like the Irishman's only it is smaller and slightly rounder. "The German has a square head, flat on top and very wide between the ears. A German's hat always looks too big for him. It looks so because it is so. In order that it may encompass the head's great breadth it touches a little too loose in its other dimensions. Some Germans, who are particular, have their hats made to order on this account. "I sell hats all over the United States, and I find that heads run bigger West than anywhere else. The Chicago man has the biggest head in America. The Southerner has the smallest. We Easterners--Philadelphiaians. We New Yorkers and the same. We headsize has the same size. That size on the average 7. The Westerner's size is 7%." The Southerner's is 6%". Philadelphia Record. GREAT POWER OF TO-DAY. Symbol Means as Much. Though Not Waving Over Armed Men. "I never see the letters S. P. Q. R." observed the professor of history thoughtfully, "without feeling a little thrill of what they once meant to the world. Wherever they were borne over the cagles of the Roman legions the people recognized their masters and paid tribute. There is no emblem of absolute control in the world to converse to him." Just one of the big oil tank wagons, bearing on its sides the familiar legend, "Standard Oil Company," came around the corner, at the sight of which the good professor looked as if he would like to modify his last statement. Search for Wrecks in Lake Huron. One of the most thoroughly organized hunts for lost treasure ever attempted on the great lakes is to be made on Lake Huron, where the Milwaukee Wrecking Company is preparing to search for the bulks of vessels. Representatives of the company have chartered the tug of codfish with another vessel at her, will seek wealth among the wrecks dotting the lake bottom six or seven miles off the shore. One of the most valuable cargoes is one of copper lost in the caries days of lake navigation. Another is of steel ingots, and still another is a cargo of whisky, lost in a schooner bound for Mackinaw many years ago. The Mackinaw cargo is a cargo of the steamer Pewabic, off Alpena, after it had been in the water nearly forty years. — Chicago Inter Ocean.

Fond of Milk. Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, takes a long walking trip every summer. Usually he goes alone, but on one occasion several gentlemen accompanied him. The party toured the White Mountains. On an August afternoon they stopped, very warm and thirsty, at a farmhouse and bought several quarters of milk. Even now, though, they were unsatisfied, so the farmer's wife fetched from the spring house no less than three gallons of milk in a pail. Setting this before them, she said: "One would think, gentlemen, that you had never been weaned."—Detroit News-Tribune. Puts Comfort Before Looks. Secretary of War Root is a fir emblem in the idea that a soldier should look the soldier when engaged in military work, but he also realizes that in very hot weather some measure of smart appearance must give way to comfort, so he, has practically said: "Bother your uniforms; dress as you please. Indeed, he has set the example for men in the war department by stripping off coat and waistcoat and making himself as nearly comfortable as possible in a becoming colored shirt waist. Probably Knew the Widow. Visits of consolation are not by any means pleasant, and there is no class of men in the world who know it better than ministers of the gospel. They try to be comforting, but it is not always they say just the right thing. "I am not comforting?" asked the neighbor of a West Philadelphia widow recently bereaved. "Indeed, he did not," was the quick reply. "He said my husband was better off." The smallest volunteer fireman in the world is Leopold Kahn, of White Plains, N. Y., proprietor of a large hotel there. For years Kahn has been a dedicated local Dot. His wife is also a midday and has traveled extensively in the show business.

Committed to the Deep The steward knocked, and put his head in at the door. "Cabin passenger, sir, No. 16." he reported, with a business-like brevity. "Very bad." Dr. Yalden glanced up from his desk irritably. "What's the matter with him?" "Dunno no, Uncommon bad." "What's that, suppose?" "No, sir. Not sea sick. Queer when he came aboard yesterday. I thought. Been in bed all day. Didn't let me get him anything. Till just now he asked me to fetch you." The steward withdrew, and the doctor only delayed to finish the first paragraph of a letter he had been writing when he was interrupted. It was not precisely an urgent letter, for he had no intention of doing anything with it until the ship arrived at Liverpool; but it was to contain much that he knew he could not possibly put into speech, and it was to tell the recipient that he would arrive less than half a day behind it. The lamp that shone from the wall of No. 16 showed him a haggard man stretched on the bunk apparently sleep. While the doctor was taking a preliminary survey of him he coughed and awoke. "Sweeped." "Im the doctor. You sent for me. What's wrong?" "Oh, thanks. . . . I don't know, doctor. My head all aire, and my hands, too. Feel that." The doctor took his hand and laid a finger on his pulse. The hand was not dry and, the pulse was galloping curiously, and a brief examination was sufficient to diagnose his ailment. "A touch of pneumonia" Yalten. "You must take more care of yourself than you've been doing latey. You were not fit to travel; you must have felt ill before you started." "I wanted to get home," the other answered, wearily. "I've been away—a long time." "We must see what we can arrange about nursing," the doctor concluded. "I'll give you some medicine; you've got a good constitution, and with care will call round all right." "Think so?" "Oh, yes. . . . He mustn't be far, Barrow." The doctor turned to the steward. "Somebody will have to sit up with him to night. I'll see him again before 1 turn in, and I'll get the captain to let you have assistance." After fulfilling which latter duty he retired to his cabin and resumed the laborious composition of his letter. Three years ago he met in London the girl he told himself he had been looking for all his life. She was nearly twenty years his junior, but what he was richer than the priest and through recent financial disasters they were poor and prouder, but what did all that matter either? She heard him with pity in her eyes, but not love; and she told him, with only pity in her tones, that the man she loved was dead and her heart was buried with him. Later he learned the story that lay behind her words, and saw more hope in for himself than she had given him. She was dead, and could, in due time, win her away from the memory of a dead rival. He would not take her answer then, but begged her to think of all it must "What's the matter with him?" mean to him, and let him ask her for t, once for all, when he came home from his next voyage. He was speeding homeward now, and the letter was to prepare her for his coming. He wrote it with so many deflection that by 10 clock it was still unsettled, when mindful of his patient, he relocked it in his desk. No. 18 was awake, but drowsy with sheer weakness. "If I don't pull through this, doctor—" "Don't you worry about that; you will." "But if I don't—I'm put afraid of dying. I've been near it too often for that; and yet, now it seems harder than it ever did before. "You'd better not talk. I don't want you to excite yourself." "Not me! What I mean is, it would be hard luck to die on the way home. I've been away nearly nine years. I went away as poor as a rat, and I'm going back rich. That's something, isn't it? "It's a great deal." "And I'm not dead yet, though I supposed to be!" the other chuckled, grimly. "One everlasting, terrible snowweared up miles away from where we snowweared up miles away down as done for; and we were put down as done for. Only two of us managed to worry through, and we wandered heaven knows where, and we lived—well, we didn't. But we worried through—and I'm going home." His eyes closed and he rambled on dreamy: "Nine years; but she'll be waiting. I told her that it Flung the glass far out into the dark, wouldn't be more than two—and she said 'It's till you come, Ned, and if you never come, I shall wait till I meet you, at the end.' He lay quiet a minute, and then, opening his eyes and finding the doctor regarding him intently, he continued: "We've never written to each other. We promised her people we wouldn't. She was to be free to change if she would; they said it was best. I had no money and no prospects, but if I went back a rich man and she had not changed. . . . I knew she never would. Whether I lived or died, she said she would never change—and she won't." "Did you say your name was Edwin Ashton?" The doctor was startled by the alien sound of his own voice. The sick man nodded, and, pointing accustomed to the cabin he said, "Do you mind getting it for me? My will's in there, too. I made it as soon as I struck my first luck, in case. . . . Oh, what I wanted to ask you, doctor, was—if I don't pull round, will you have my bag and everything sent to her? You'll find her address—" "Yes, yes. But not now." Valden interrupted harshly. "You've talked too much already. . . . Come along, Barrow," he hailed the advent of the steward with ineffable relief. "Call me if he is worse in the night." He was dazed and stupefied by the knowledge that had come upon him so unexpectedly, and yearned to get away and be alone where he might think of it. One thought only burned to a clear and fiercely steady blaze—a sinister, hellish thought that he dared not face and could not extinguish. He lost all count of time, as a man does when he sleeps, but when the steward summoned him hurriedly an indignant shriek not been in his light was stunned in his cabin, he was still dressed, and his fare was wan and his eyes heavy, as if he were in pain. "Mr. Ashton's worse, sir. Edwards is with him, and called me to fetch you. He can't sleep. Keeps sitting up. Edwards says, staring as if he could see people, an' talking very, sing'lar. Dellious, I expect, sir." "We must try a sleeping draught," said Yalden dully. "I'll be there directly." Borrow being gone, he busled himself in the medicine cupboard, and hastened after him, carrying something in a glass. Drawing near to No. 16, he could hear the slick man babbling monotonously, and the very sound of his voice stung him and quickened a fiercer flame within him; till suddenly he caught a word of what the man was saying—merely a name, but the utterance of it checked him instantly, as if a hand had plucked on his sleeve. He stood trembling, and in that same fustant saw, shaping white in the darkness before him, a sweet, sat face, grows pale with weary years of longing—the pure, wistful eyes looked into his, and their calmness calmed him, and their sadness made him ashamed. With a something breaking like a job in his throat, he swiftly retraces his stope, pausing in the unlightened saloon, one of the portholes and finging the mask he carried far out into the dark. Thereafter he sat till well into the day watching and tending the man she loved and had loved so long. Going on deck in the morning, he leaned over the side to tear up the litter he had written and scatter its fragments into the sea. It was the burial of a great hope that had died in the night. As he walked away, the captain coming from breakfast, met him, and lingered to make inquiries. Morning doctor: how's the patient? What is going to make a funeral of it, I hope? "Not quite," Yalden laughed carelessly. "He has taken a turn for the better." "Black and White." CARRIED OUT HIS PLANS. Last Request of a Dying Man Was Obeyed by His Children. A millionaire had died. There had been great apparent grief among those who had been most substantially remembered. And some real-for-sure reget among those who had expected to but hadn't got a dollar. The funeral was over. The millionaire's sons had gathered for conference. Among the pet plans of the old man's declining days was a magnificent siege of construction he had disbanded with every other member of the family. "You will remember," said the eldest son, choking back his emotion wonderfully well, "that it was the last request that we carry out every plan he had made regarding the new house." "Yes," they groaned in chorus. "Well I have arranged that it be done." The coupon he piled all the plans of his father's architect into a large wastebasket and bore them triumphantly out to the rubbish bin in the back alley. "I may say truthfully that it is a pleasure to carry out the plans, even though we disagreed in their forming," he said. "But when he returned with the empty basket. PROFESSOR IN HARD LUCK. Storm's Early Arrival Spilled His Chances for Fame. We can recall no rainmaker from the time of Plutchar, or any rain doctor of the Indians, or any rain sorcerer of the African tribes, who has played in harder luck than Prof. Meyers has just encountered in the Adirondacks. He arrived a few days ago with a fine collection of balloons and bombs and got all ready for operations or Tudor's attack. But the announcement that he should send some balloons with powerful bombs with lighted fuses attached, and that rain would follow the explosion almost immediately. As a matter of fact, rain preceded the explosion. Just as the professor was about to cut the ropes of his balloon a tremendous thunderstorm came up, advancing with terrific speed and deluging the region with water. You see, nature had "got on" to the professor's little game and forestalled him. But imagine the air of the storm, with the rain up about fifteen minutes ahead of the shower. No rain doctor that the world has known would have beer "in it" with him then—New York Commercial Advertiser. One Dog's Intelligence. The intelligence of animals seems as a rule to be underdressed rather than overrated. A dog breeder described the other day a wonderful collie that had belonged to Sir John Lubbock "This dog," he said, "would, when it was hungry, lay at its master's feet a card marked 'Food.' When it was tired, he would write on the card 'Drink.' When it wanted to take a walk it would bring a card marked 'Out.' Sir John Lubbock it to do this trick in less than a month. He put the food card over the dog's food and made it bring the card to him before he would allow it to eat and in the matter of drinking and going out he used a like method. The cards were similar in shape and color to the dog's own. He ferred. Since therefore, the dog dis tingled them by the writing alone it may be said that the animal could read."

American Describes Journey to the Volcano Taal—Primitive Mode of Conveyance Leaves Lasting Impression of Discomfort—Some of the Habits of the Natives. (Special Correspondence.) The provinces of Rizal and Laguna are more disaffected than any others in the island of Luzon and have been filled with ladron bands, which still exist in a scattered condition. The route to the volcano, Tacl, is filled with ladron bands, is a line of steam launches—boats perished ninety feet in length—owned and mismanaged by Filipinos, which takes the traveler part of the distance from Manila to Tacl, passing through the whole length of the River Pasig and through the lake from which the district of Laguna takes its name. Along the river is a continuous line of native villages, the inhabitants being engaged in fishing and farming, the fishermen in fishing and farming, the unique inhabitants of the men just wade out till their heads only are out of water and then, taking a long breath. Caribou A farmer pulling a bullock cart in a rural village. they go below and actually catch fish with their hands. This may appear to be incredible, but we saw it—saw them actually come up with the fish: they were not alone, but only once out of a dozen dives, but they got there at times. Others use nets, wading in the river and holding the net, which is a sort of trap mounted on bamboo sticks, in front of them as they walk along the river bed. The fish would have poor results. She women do most of the farming. The road from Calamba to Ambalona, the village nearest the volcano, was a native road. The ride was a wild dream, or, rather, nightmare. The vehicle, drawn by two native ponies was the complete and perfect work of the evil one. It rattled, jolted and threatened to go to pieces. The seat of the vehicle was of hardwood; the makers had not considered the possibility of their containing anyone larger than a Filippino and the head of a bull. All the American just touched the roof. Every time the cart struck a stone the American's head struck the roof and as this road was all stones the tops of our heads were pretty well mashed by the time the lake was reached. The end of the ride brought us to the lake—Bombon or Taal lake—which is about ten miles long and seven or eight wide. The volcano's on an island near the border of the lake is surrounded by dugouts and outriggers of bamboo to steady them. The natives were very poor and some of them told me how much they regretted the departure of the soldiers who were station there some time time ago. In the first place, the soldiers were so scarcity as, scarcity with them as, with any Common Scene Common Scene In Pasig River. community I know of. And in the second place, we found that the soldiers had become personally popular with the people. The volcano is not a particularly impressive mountain from a distance, there being several other mountains within sight of three times its height. The ascent is easy, over a bed of cinders, and can be made by an athletic person without once stopping to rest. The crater is about a mile across and can be entered by a gap broken in the vertical wall near the top. Inside the wall drops about 100 feet straight down, but below this there is a long slope of cinder, at an angle of about thirty degrees, which is easily defended by making diagonal tacks across its face. At the bottom of the crater is a small central crater, from which issues a roaring jet of steam, from a vent hole about fifteen feet across. There are other steam bouts, but this one is the largest. The last eruption of any consequence was in the eighteenth century, but there is evidence of a comparatively recent eruption on a small scale. Over the whole of the interior of the crater and to some extent on the outside, is a deposit several inches thick of brown volcanic dust, which has a crust of about a quarter of an inch thick, due to the action of the rain. After leaving the volcano the mad ride recommenced. We had passed over the road the first time in the middle of the night, but the return trip was much easier. The native population was strung out to see the caravan of Amerindians. At Calathea we were lucky enough to hire a Filipino house for the night. At least we had all we wanted of it, the family using the room that we did not occupy. There was one large room, divided by a wardrobe into two sections. The floor was of strips of bamboo, one inch wide, with spaces of a quarter of an inch between them. We had a bamboo bench and a stand two feet by eighteen inches and three feet high. The floor served for bed. dining tables and Cart. and washstand. In fact, everyone squatted in real Asiatic fashion. In this town there was a Chinese resire taurant, with a Chinaman who spoke English. He had a printed bill of fare in English, which quoted prices for oysters, pork chops, beefsteak and other things. We asked what he actually had on hand, and it appeared that he had fried chicken and eggs. We ordered the whole bill of fare and after a short time we heard loud chatter and the Chinaman stuck a beaming face into the room, saying: "Can duc chucoch quackw, mucho chucky fry, can do!" He was just killing the chickens, after going around the neighborhood to find them. After eating we were ready for sleep. We went to our house to find all the women of the house waiting to put us to bed. It seems to be the correct thing to put a guest safely to bed, and there they were waiting for us to undress and to put the pillows on the bed. The floor was covered with pieces of matting and all the cushions in the house laid for us to sleep on; and as one of the cushions was a little soiled the lady of the house got out from the wardrobe her own white petticoat and wrapped it around the cushion for a pillow case. Lying awake after the pillow fell, she fled, finging, and, peeping out, I saw the whole family going to bed on the other part of the floor, back of the word robe that formed a partial partition between us and the rear of the house Before leaving the subject of the Filipino houses in their villages should say they have in many of these villages a stream of water running along the side of the road, in front of the houses, and two or three stone In Pasig River. steps leading down to the water in front of each house. In the early morning the women put on their bathing dresses and take their little one down to this stream to wash. The water is so clear that I am not sure whether they all drink the water, but I know some of them do so. When Water Tastes Good. This is a Texas story. There was gathered at one of the country towns the usual crowd for the county court which included the judge, the district attorney, sheriff, clerk, a number of lawyers and, on this particular occasion, a young army officer. Well, they celebrated to rather a late hour or two when he held the court. It was found that most of them had to sleep in the one large room called to the West the "school section," because everything in the school section lands in the early days belonged to every body. About daylight the next morning the district attorney crawled out and found a pitcher of ice water. As he poured it down his throat it fairly stopped and said: "No d——d sobsool knows how good water tastes." West Post. --- --- CHARLES HEDGES WAS DISCHARGED Superintendent of Free Delivery in Postoffice Department Is Removed. SERIOUS CHARGES PREFERRED Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow Says He Failified Accounts and Also Loaned His Traveling Commission. Washington, July 23—Charles Hedge yesterday was removed from the delivery of the postoffice department on the charge of falsifying his diary and lending his traveling commission. It is charged that he reported himself at various places, when in fact he was placed on the dates it monitored, in some instances being hundreds of miles away. The following is the official statement of the case made public by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General "Charles Hedges was today removed from the office of superintendent of free delivery for falsifying his diary, and loaning his traveling commission. He was also removed from places on public business, when in fact he was not in those places on the dates mentioned, but elsewhere, in some instances hundreds of miles distant, under oath, in his diary, that he was at Joplin, Mo., on 'extension of free delivery service' when in fact he was in Mansfield, Ohio, attending the funeral of former Secretary John Sherman in the month of October, self at San Antonio, Texas, 'investigating carrier's service', while in fact he was in Mexico examining mining property. In the month of October, he was in various places, free delivery, was sick with typhoid fever, and Hedges was at the department acting as superintendent. In his diary he states, under oath, that he was in various places, named, office, Park, Philadelphia, Concamden, N. J., and elsewhere, 'actually engaged in traveling on the business of the free delivery service. Assistant superintendents of free delivery for every day in lieu of expenses for each day engaged actually traveling on the business of the department. Hedges' false statements as to his whereabouts on these days were manifestly for them to which he was not entitled." Mr. Hedges was appointed to the postal service from the Tenth congressional district of Texas on July 1, 1896, and was appointed superintendent of the free delivery 1, July 1, 1901. His salary was $3,000 a year. He had charge of the delivery service in the city of New York, being under another superintendent, and both being under the general supervision of August W. Machen. CHINA CAN'T OPEN PORTS. Prince Ching Tells Conger Russian Troops Control Towns Peking. July 23. Prince Ching, the president of the foreign office, has written to United States Minister Conger, refusing to open towns in Manchuria. In his letter he dwells upon the impossibility of China opening to foreigners towns which are not in her possession, but which are held by Russian troops, and points out the complications which would be likely to occur. It is believed here, however, that a compromise may be reached by including one town—Ta Tung Kao—in the new commercial treaty. Washington, July 23.—Inasmuch as the Chinese government very recently has expressed its willingness to yield to the desires of the United States for China to be there at a loss to understand the communication sent by Prince China to Minister Conger, refusing this concession. They have received no advises on the subject. In some quarter the objections urged to the opening of the communication are regarded as a mere diplomatic cubicle, designed perhaps to please Russia. No matter what fresh obstacle may intervene, our government, firm in the conviction that the principle of the open door in China should be enforced by all nations, will continue to exert its influence in that direction. CASSIUS M. CLAY DIESJ Noted Kentuckian and Former Minister to Russia. Richmond, Kv., July 23.—General Cassius Marcelius Clay, ambassador to Russia under Lincoln, noted abolitionist and author, died at his home, White Hall in Madison county, at 9:10 o'clock last night. Death was due to general exhaustion. He led a stirring life, which began to tell on him in late 1832, but he believed that a conspiracy to assassinate him had been planned and some years ago fortified his home at White Hall, and entered a life of seclusion, that ended only a few weeks ago, when the courts appointed a committee of take charge of him and his effects. He was found desperately ill and cared for. His children, long esterbed in the tricities, were again able to be with him, and were at the bedside when death ensued. Gates at frequent intervals bar the country roads in Norway, and are a nuisance to travelers, who have to leave their vehicles and open the barriers.

The little shop in which President Andrew Jackson lived at Greenville, Tenn., and followed his trade, is yet to be seen over the road by Jackson Tailor.

Simpson, of the department of agriculture, is receiving many entries for the judging contest which has been planned for the state fair. The competition is open to all young men of Iowa under 21, not agricultural students, and the prize is a scholarship in the agricultural course. The value of this scholarship is $200. It is announced that Professor Rucherford, of the Iowa State College, recently brought heeled students to the place of Professor Marshall, will have charge of the contest. A large number of inquiries have been received from without the state, many young men, and many desiring to take part in the competition. Such entries, however, have been refused. Adjustant General Byers says it has been concluded to select details from all the companies of the guard, outside of the Fifty-first regiment, for the purpose of bringing that regiment up to the required strength of 816 officers and men, which it must have when it goes to the maneuvers at Fort Riley. The orders of the war department are for the Fifty-fifth of 816. The Fifty-fifth has something over 500 officers and men. Instead of adding to it companies from other regiments, Adjustant General Byers will have details of five or six men each of the regiment to provide a service. This will give some of the members of each company in the guard a taste of real campaigning. The dates for the regimental camps in the state have been revised and definitely fixed. The regiment will be moved to 13 to 20, the Fifty-fourth from September 11 to September 16, and the Fifty-fifth from September 12 to 9 inclusive. The damage to the crops of western Iowa by the hail storm which swept over nearly half the state on the night of the 20th is inestimable, but will probably reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, judging from reports made to the hail insurance companies in Iowa, who reported that they have been about forty miles wide, but it followed no regular course, veering considerable. It entered the state from South Dakota, where the loss is said to be as heavy as in Iowa, first striking Lyon County, where the damage southward and slightly east across the state, striking quite heavily in O'Brien, Cherokee, Monona, Warren, Greene, Shelby, Crawford and Cass counties. The severity of the storms on the small size and a considerable depth fell in many places. In most places the hail was accompanied by a terrific gale and severe electrical storm. The horse show at the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines this year, from August 21 to 29, will be the best ever held in the state. There will be an exceptionally strong showing of heavy horses and it is predicted it will be the most successful. C. F. Curtiss, of the Iowa State College, has been selected to judge the horses, this arrangement giving general satisfaction to the exhibitors. The Scandinavian Relief commission, appointed by Governor Cummins some months ago, for the purpose of collecting funds in Iowa to be sent to the relief of the starving Scandinavians in Sweden, Norway and Finland, has made its final report to the governor. It shows that the people of Iowa contributed with great liberality to the relief. The expenses were light, reaching a total of 449.62. The entire net sum after deducting expenses has been forwarded to the sufferers. The report shows that the people of Sweden, about 20 per cent to Norway and the same amount to Finland. The recent strike at Dubuque and the sending of the militia there at the urgent request of the sheriff, cost the state a considerable sum. Bills have been allowed by the executive council of $1,838.25. The warrants have been drawn by Captain Amos Brant, and will be turned over to Adjunct General Byers. The executive council is working steadily on assessments and has practically completed the task of equalizing the returns from the counties. The results, however, will not be made public until all the assessments have been fixed. It is known the council has not engaged in the state. Some of the valuations in the lower counties have been raised, and those in the higher have been depressed. It is understood this has resulted in a slight increase of the aggregate. The council is now working notepaper and notage assignments. As there are 1,200 telephone lines and over to assess, the task before the council is a heavy one.

SAVED BY A SONG. Familiar Tune the Means of Rescuing Youth from Slavery A remarkable incident is that of a Scottish youth who had learned at home to sing the old psalms that were then as household words to them in the kirk and by the fireside. When he grew up he wandered away from his native country, was taken captive by the Turks, and made a slave in one of the Barbary states. But he never forgot the songs of Zion, although he sung them in a strange land and to them cars. One night he was solacing himself in this manner, when the attention of some sailors on board of an English man-of-war was directed to a familiar "familiar" dred, as they were floating over the moonlit waves. At once they surmised the truth that one of their countrymen was languishing away his life as a captive. Quickly arming themselves, they manned a boat, and lost no time in effecting his release. What a joy to him, after eighteen long years passed in slavery. Plenty In It. The discussion of bribery has served to recite the reply which Geoge T. Anthony once made to a politician who was disposed to "graft," Mr. Anthony was about to relinquish an office and was approached by the man who was to succeed him, who wanted to know how much the office was worth. Anthony replied that it paid $3,000. "I know that is the salary," insisted the insult that there is there in it" "Well," said Anthony, looking his interrogator directly in the eye, "there's $3,000 a year and the penitentiary in it for any man who wants to work it for all it is worth."

"Some of their mistakes would put a sensible schoolboy to shame. Among the checks handed out was one one for quite a large amount which the woman who drew it out had signed "Your loving Carrie." Who is better qualified to set in motion good influence than a mother? Those who can be persuaded to fight those who are their friends will not succeed. No child has a fair chance in life that comes from a home with with bad influence. The young man who does every thing that is bad, as good as the girl who accepts his company. There is one man that we would like to see on the ticket next year with Theodore Roosevelt, and that man is Governor Albert B. Cummins. If some of those mobs in the south only had the same dose that the Evansville mob got at the hands of the militia—six killed out right, six others have died and more than twenty wounded. Thank God for that much justice. HAVE A PURPOSE. One of the most important lessons that should be taught by parents and those who are in a position to teach the young of today, is to have a purpose for the future, and one that will reflect credit upon them in after life. It should be impressed upon their minds that they cannot start out any way and reach the goal. The first step is for them to secure a good education, and if they cannot secure a college education they can get a good common school education. Next we would urge the selection of good associates. With many it seems to make no difference what kind of company they keep so they have a good time. The association of the idle, giddy and immoral will kill the aspiration of any one. In connection with the idea of good association is that of good reading. If the mind is supplied with the contents of good and wholesome books, there is but little to fear. We know that the kind of associates that they should have are hard to find, but good books with other reading matter of similar character can easily be secured. We have not mentioned many of the important things connected with this subject; we have endeavored to argue those who should be concerned in this matter. If we can do that we would be contented, and with a united effort on the part of all we would have more helpers of the race like Booker T. Washington, and a smaller army of those who take delight in critizizing him and the great work he is doing for the race. Montgomery, Ala., July 20.—Fletcher Turner, a white man, today in the United States court, pleaded guilty to the charge of holding in peonage a Negro youth. Turner was fined $1,000. Last week Turner was tried on the charge of peonage, but the jury failed to agree. In a recent issue we published an article about the system of peonage that is going on in some of the Southern States and the United States Grand Jury had began an investigation and it is the desire of all law abiding and and good citizens that every one who is holding persons in peonage will be fined as Turner was and if possible to send them 'to prison. If the laws of the states can't protect a persons liberty the courts of the United States will. "Old Wine" Theory Exploded. There is hardly a man who does not believe that the old wine is the best wine, yet a short time ago some cases of claret were sold in London at $25 a bottle, of the famous "Comet" vintage of 1811, and the wine was found to be utterly worthless. It was simply worn out with age. Wine experts and wealthy connoisseurs had come from great distances to buy the wine at any price, and were edified upon opening it to find it was as flat as soda water. In the same way, not long since, a quantity of hock from the cellars of a country house, of the year preceding Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, fetched $20 per bottle, and was found to have lost everything except color. Lots of Work for Idle Hands. Lots of Work for Idle Hands. Loud and urgent are the calls from western farms, and, orchards, for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and the garnering of the fruits. But too many idlers, tramps and beggars in our cities, and in the country regions also, turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to work. The vagrant spirit, the "dead-best" desire to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere—New York Tribune. Prominent among the grand lodge visitors last week was Mr. Edward A. Carter of Buxton, a recent graduate of the College of Liberal Arts at the State University, who addressed the congregation at St. Paul's A. M. E. church Sunday evening upon the subject, "Individual Responsibility as a Factor in Solution of the Negro Problem," and concerning whom the Des Moines Register and Leader says: A. "Edward A. Carter, the young colored graduate of the state university, who told his fellow colored men in Des Moines Sunday evening that they should struggle for an education rather than for fire arm, is a coal miner by trade, and has earned the money for his college course by working in the mines at Oskaloosa. He is at work now in the mines as an ordinary miner to get the means to begin his course in the university medical college in September and will stick to mining until he is admitted to practice. It is said that he enjoys with Booker Washington the distinction of being the only colored graduate who is a coal miner. He is a very bright and intelligent young man, and he is setting an example of industry and perseverance that a whole lot of his white brethren would profit by imitating. Believes Sea Serpent Exists! Believes Sea Serpent Exists The naturalist of the Belgica epondition later told the Zoological Society of France that he believes the sea serpent to exist, and that it is all an imaginary creature of song. He says it is not a reptile, but a mammal in order of the phalipeds, to which family seals belong. In for it resembles somewhat the extinct. plesiosaurus, attaining 3 length of 200 feet, the head and neck being one-fourth of the length, the trunk one-fourth and the tail one-half. It never approaches the coast except in pursuit of the fish on which it lives. Buenos Ayres' Great Docks Buenos Ayres' Great Docks. The first thing that strikes you on landing at Buenos Ayres is its docks, which extend for five miles along the river front, say. They were once by a English firm, and are completed in 1897. They are most solidly constructed, supplied with numerous modern steam cranes and are brilliantly lighted with electricity at night. They cost the city and nation seven million pounds sterling, or $25,000,000. So great is the amount of shipping, however, that not the docks alone, but the small river Riachelou is crowded with vessels. Indeed, one wonders how a ship, once entered, can ever manage to get out. High prices for Antiques High Price Old dress collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippewa dale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippeila chair of rare pattern though it be out of repair. Chairs of a similar other color for $75 to a Chippeila armchair Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100—New York letter. Why Nations Wear Colors. Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your buttonhole—or pinned on your dress if you are a girl—at commencement, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? asks a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest and sympathy. And for some what similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first, maybe, it was to tell one another apart; but after awhile the colors—the flag—came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the nation's flag was supposed to show the way they; felt toward the nation. Human Nature Encompassed. At Anchita father who has a last worthless son sent him adrift on Saturday at noon, saying he never wanted to see him again. The young man mother carried on in a pitiful way, but the father was inxorable, the young man must get out and shift for himself. The young man went away saying he would return a rich man some day and make his father ashamed of himself? His mother said he was a noble boy, and swooned. That night at 6 o'clock the kitchen door opened and the young man came in carrying his wristwatch. His supper was ready he took his usual place at the table, and ate with his customed appetite. The father and mother, but the mother waited on her son with unusual care; though he had returned with the fortune he had talked about at noon—Anchita he glided GREW ON THE GABBATH. Little Girl Feared Plants Might Dea a Fault. John Philip Sousa sat listening the other evening to the history of the pier, now called the Steeplechase, or which he is playing his kythaneic City game, another thing he was told of the fuss that resulted when the authorities there fined a manager for giving a Sunday performance two years ago, although Sunday is the day when the crowd of visitors and amusement seekers is the largest. "Icidents of the kind," said Sousa "always recall to me the story of a little country girl who, very early on morning the dew-staining raps berries to her family's minister. He was delighted, and said so; but he added, doubtfully: "Er- I hope you didn't pick me yesterday—the Sabbath—my child?" "Oh, no, slim—this morning!" she said. "I don't have anous as she falteringly explained: "But—but they was a grown' all day yesterday," Heard Policeman Tell Judge About In the Morning. "Down in Tennessee one day," said Senator Carmack of that state, "I met a person whom I knew slightly, and who was of convivial habits. He had all the symptoms of a 'left-over.' In fact, as he came down the street he had so close a resemblance to a man who had surely been imbibing the previous night that I stopped and said to him: "Did you have a good time last night? "I did. he chirped, with a cheerful grin. I had a magnificent time, it's a funny thing. High Senator! he added confidentially. I was not all night, and yet I can't remember a single thing that occurred after nine o'clock. "You can't!' I said. Then how on earth do you know that you had a magnificent time? "Because," he explained, "I heard the policeman telling the judge about it in the morning." Vegetation on Rome's Monuments. Vegetation on Rome's Monuments. The monuments of Rome are now under observation, not only by foreigners, but by the Italian government. It has been discovered that parasitic plants grow at the top of most of the Roman monuments. At the top of the white marble column in the center of the Maggiore there was till a few days ago, living plant of a wild fig tree. It was beginning to eat away one of the top most ornaments of the column. But it has now been removed. Twelve figs were found on the plant. The monument is now under repair. The affair has caused quite a little flutter and the Flizza has been crowded with people to watch the uprooting process. This column is the only one left of Constantine's first church in Rome. Accurate Delay Many stories are told of the lack of punctuality upon railroads in the southern states. It is said that when a New England man found his train, advertised to leave at 11 o'clock, starting at exactly that hour, he complimented the conductor. "Just on time, I see," he said, generally. "All this talk I've heard of the lateness of your trains is without foundation, I've no doubt." The conductor smiled at him quietly. "This train, sir," he said, without a trace of embarrassment, "is not today's eleven o'clock train, sir. It is yesterday's eleven o'clock. To-day's will probably not get here from 'way down until to morrow, sir." Wanted a Change. When the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, pastor of the Park church, Elimira, died the difficult problem of filling the place confronted the trustees of the church. The choice finally settled upon the Rev. Annie Ford Eastman, one of the few women who have made a success of the calling. An enthusiastic admirer took a friend of his to hear Mrs. Eastman At the conclusion of the sermon the friend was asked how he liked it. "The sermon was all right," was the reply, "but I hear a woman preach six days in the week, and on the seventh I prefer to hear a man." A Strange Coincidence Three events occurred recently at the same moment in one house in Washring, near Vienna. These events were a baptism, a wedding and a funeral. While the family of the deceased, an iron molder, Albert Hruzek, were beaming their loss, Anton Schutz, a young carpenter, and his bride, were celebrating their wedding in the rooms beneath them, and the children were there, who occupied rooms in the basement were all arrayed in holiday attire in honor of their infant, Gabriel, who was being baptized. Church Laws of Olden Times. The Bethel Laws of Methodist chapel at Burney, Lancashire, recent- ly observed an important anniversary, and issued a souvenir book book containing copies of old records. A minute passed in 1834 reads: "That we do not allow young men and young women to walk in the street together arm in arm at any time; sither do we allow them to stand at street corners chatting together." By another resolution the chapel authorities forbade girl choristers vearing bows in their bonas. Magnetic Sand Box in Rowley. The action of the mysterious lodge- stone mountain which drew the nail of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation in fact, says a French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Joe Jordern, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarter of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and thrown ashore. Celluloid Eye Shade Burned. Congressman Hildbrandt of Ohio is going about Washington with a partied look in his eye and no brows above the optics. Mr. Hildbrandt was sitting at his desk in his committee room, wearing a green celluloid eye shade. He struck a match to light his cigar, and the flame touched the celluloid. The shade and his eyebrows went up in the same suff.-Philadelphia Press. Wife or Donkey. It may not be generally known that amongst the peasantry in Connemara it is the custom for the women to draw turf and seaweed in baskets on their backs whilst the men stand about and smoke. A bank manager was once electrified by being solemnly asked by a young peasant whether, as the turf season was approaching, he ought to marry a wife or buy a donkey. Mistrusted the Word. Lord Halsbury, the lord chancellor of Ireland recently in the house of lords while he was an angel full of counsel for using the extreme useful word "practical" "Practically" interrupted Lord Halsbury br ask, "I always distrust that word 'practical.' When anybody says a thing is practically so and so I know it is not so and so." Status of the Lottery. It is told of an East Indian law student that he honour threw his examiners into confusion by declaring marmony to be an illegal state. "How so? How so?" he was asked by the perturbed examiners, many of them married men. The student smiled beatifully, "Marrriage," quoth he, "is a lottery, and lotteries are forbidden by law." First "Dalmatian" Powder. German newspapers call attention to the fifteenth anniversary of bug powder, or "Dalmatian" powder. A German woman named Anna Roseuse found out the fatal effects of chrysanthemum flowers on insects. She told a druggist of her discovery and the insect powder trade is now worth millions to Dalmatia. To Grow Up With the Country. Tams Briby, for many years a leading Republican politician in Minnesota and lately a member of the Dawes commission, has determined to settle in Oklahoma. He will start a paper, grow up with the country and to go to Congress to serve the territory assumes the dignity of statehood. The Pulse and the Seasons. A medical man, who has kept a nightly record of his pulse for five years, says that every year it falls through the spring until about mid-summer, and then rises through the autumn to November or December. Then comes a second fall and rise, culminating in February. Recommends "Volcano Cellars." Prof. T. A. Jagger, Jr., Harvard who has been making investigations of the eruption of Mont Pelee, believes that people of volcanic countries can escape destruction by building cellars or chambers of masonry in which they can seek shelter when the eruptions occur. The Liberty Cap. The red liberty cap was really the headgear of the galley slave. The Swiss of the Chateauroux regiment, sent to the galleyes for their share in the Nancy rlots, on their release returned to Paris with their caps and were hailed as victims of despotism. Trees in England. Christmas trees were unknown in England until the reign of Queen Victoria. The first one was ornamented by Prince Albert for the amusement of the Princess Royal and the Prince of Wales, who were children of 3 and 4 years old at that time. Work of American Astronomers. Within twenty-five years American astronomers have won as many annual medals of the Royal Astronomical Society of England as astronomers of all other countries, except England, combined.

The Disease Burt Back. Dr Charles Hose, of Sarawak, after many experiments, has formed the theory that the disease beri beri arises in tropical regions from the consumption of moldy rice. Dr. Strange says Pigg of Cambridge has expounded the theory in England. IN THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER PAPAL CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF ST. PETER'S. PALM TREE Pope Leo XIII, the 863rd successor of St. Peter, Joseph Peccel, was born at Carpinteria in the diocese of Anagni and died at Carpinteria in the diocese of Anagni. Dec. 11, 1837; consecrated Titular archbishop of Damietta on Feb. 17, 1843; transferred to the see of Perugia on Jan. 18, 1844; proclaimed Cardinal Carpinteria on March 2, 1845; and crowned on March 2, 1872. 30, and trowned on March 3, 1874. The history of the popes shows that of the long line 195 have been Italianes; Syllana; 7: Greeks; 15: Africanus; 8: BAS Spanianids, 4; French, 14; Burgundians, 2; Germans, 6; Saxons, 2; Bavarians, 4; English, 1, and Belgian, 1. The nationality of the others is not well established. The religious orders supplied about seventy popes to the throne; the majority of the bishops the Carthusians two; the Carmelites two; the Dominicans four, and the Augustinians and Franciscans many. Numerous popes were members of royal and noble families, but many poor men have reacced the tiara also. St. Peter was a fisherman, Adrian IV, the only Englishman who held the office of berged alms at the door of her parish church. Urban IV, was the son of a poor Frenchman. The parents of Celineine V. were in very humble circumstances. So were those of Benedict II, an Italian Dominican, and also those of Nicholas V. The father of Adriana VI, the ship carpenter, of Sirtra V., a farm laborer and of Pius V. a sheepher. Gregory XL, 1276, died within a few hours of his election; Stephanus II, was pope for only three days; Urban VII for twelve; Boniface VI, for fifteen; Celestine IV, for seventeen; Sisinus, the Theodorus II, Damasus II, Plus III, and Marcelius II, for twenty; Valentinus for thirty and Leo XI for twenty-five. Pope Hormidas, who was elected THE GARDEN POPE'S POLICY ONE OF PEACE Leo XIII. Had Marvelous Success in Creating Good Feeling. Innominati in a letter from Rome to the New York Sun, written shortly before the death of Pope Leo, said: "If there were congratulations for the unprotected city of Pope XIII, it was not merely because of the sympathy which his personality inspired in all, a sympathy remarkable from every point of view, nor was it on account of the interest in which we could not help having for an old man who was approaching his hundredth year. It was also, and above all, because of the impression, as confirmed by the events of a quarter of a century ago, of the generous thanks to his political and diplomatic gifts, to maintain tolerable relations between the church and the modern world, in spite of the opposition which broke out at every moment, and, if it had not been wisely kept in order would have brought about the most violent conflicts. "The temperament of a peacemaker I was especially necessary for the suc- cessor of Pils IX., whose character, In 524, was a widower when he entered holy orders. He had a son called Siliverius who succeeded him as Pope in 531. Siliverius was martyred and both father and son are venerated as saints. Victor III. had also been married before ascending the throne; Thomas was the son of daughters and when his wife died he became a Carthusian monk. There are two instances in which brothers succeeded each other. The first is that of Stephen III., elected in 752. SILICA OF ST. PETE He reigned five years and was succeeded by his brother Paul I. The latter was cannized. The other case is that of Benedict VIII, elected in 1012 and succeeded twelve years after by his brother John XX, who was pope for nearly ten years. Benedict III, 855, was the first pope to assume the title "Vicar of St Peter." In the thirteenth century, however, this was changed to the present style, "Vicar of Christ." The usage of kissing the cross on the pope's slipper, which still obtains, was in the sixteenth century. The pope to change his name on election was Sergius II, 844. John has been the name most frequently adopted. There have been 23 Johns, 13 Innocents, 14 Benedicts, 16 Gregories, 14 Clements, 12 Leos, 9 Pius and 8 Alexander. Pope Cletus, the third pope, adopted the salutation since used: *Ustium et Apostolicam Benedictionem* - health and apostolic benediction. Clement V. 1305, was the first pope to remove his residence from Rome to Avignon. The exile lasted seventy years and for seven poets. The longest interregnum between the death of one pope and the coronation of his successor was three years, after the death of Clement IV, in 1270. Pope Telephorus, 142, ordained that Lent should begin on Septuagust- ARDENS OF THE VA nothheaded, and impetuous rather than staid and diplomatic, had perhaps emphasized the conflicts that everywhere existed between the church and the lay world. These conflicts were not only political and social; some were of an intellectual and moral nature, inasmuch as they were not the church asserted that they were divided by natural antagonism. 'Leo XIII's diplomacy consisted in substituting the method of patience and letting time work, for that of force and violence; in other words, the gradual establishment of peace wherever war was raging. It was covered over, a general view of the world compared to what it was in 1878 will show' that Pope Leo obtained more by means of his diplomacy than his predecessor did with his rather fiery arder. 'The church of Rome under Leo XIII's pontificate succeeded in greatly increasing the number of Catholics in non-Catholic communities in Russia, in Great Britain, in the United States, and in other lands, too. But the chief result obtained in Catholic countries as well as the others has been that, without imposing on them ```markdown ``` ma Sunday and Pope Gregory I, the Great, $50, introduced the ceremony of putting ashes on the head on Ask Wednesday. Linus, St. Peter's successor, prohibited women from entering a church with uncovered heads. Pope John Paul II about $59, introduced ornate in church decorations been a talented musician. Pope Jement, 93, is believed to be the author of the canon of the mass. Zephyrinus, 205, ordained that chalices should be made only of gold or ER'S. silver, and Eusebius, 309, prohibited the use of any fabric but white linen for corporals—the covering of the chalice during mass. Marcellus, 304, introduced the rites of burial with lights and the chanting of psalms. John XXII, 1316, established the usage of ringing the "Angelus" bell. Melchilides prohibited fasting on Sunday. Anicetus introduced the clerical torsure and Pelagius II., the sixty-fifth pope, established the law that all clerics shall recite the seven canonical hours, or "brevitaly," aally. Gregory IX prescribed the liturgy but that rings the chant of the eleventh host at the mass. Vigilius ordered that the words of the consecration of the mass should be said silently. Gregory XI, who died in 1378, was the last French pope. Clement VII, excommunicated Henry VIII. of England for usurping the title "Head of the Church." Alexander VI, the famous Borgia, whose reputation present day historians are rehabilitating, was pope when C. clumba discovered America. Alexander III, abolished titles and tournaments in Europe. Paul IV, 1555-58 instituted the "Index of Prose Fiction," and wrote Inquisition. His successor, Plus IV, established the "Monte Pietals," or official pawnshops.

ATICAN. any union, with any sort of political system, once have been led to withdraw from the union, or of government whose fall might be deemed equivalent to the fall of the church itself. "If in any field it seemed impossible for the most skillful diplomat to bring about agreement, it was in that of the relations between the Quirinal and Vatican. The time is not so far off that Pope John Kekes the King of Italy to Attila and his brother, the truce was possible between the two rival powers enthroned in Rome. Nevertheless, if Leo XIII, took no steps which might be looked upon as a formal renunciation of its claims by the holy see, his prudence created a condition of things that is almost uncommon, so uncommon have the occasions for fictitious become between the Vatican and the Quirinal. As the latter, on its side, takes just as much pain to remove everything that might revive former hostilities, the holy see managed in the new condition of affairs to create a position of which the festivities of the year have shown the importance." ```markdown ``` POULTRY Raising Chicks in Brooders. **From Farmers' Review:** In our management of brooders in raising our young Orpington stock after we have gotten the young chicks from our incubators and hens to our brooders, we run them at a uniform heat of 95 degrees, keeping it thus for the first two or three days, gradually lowering it a degree a day until 90 degrees, so that the heat so the chicks will not crowd. We feed nothing for first seventy-two hours, then we feed Chamberlain's chick feed—fed exclusively every two hours for the first week, then four times daily until a month old, and after that three times a day. After the first few days we vary the feed, and after that three times we cut clover to scratch in. Fresh water is always before them. We get an early growth of lettuce for the little fellows, and, as soon as possible, let them out of doors, keeping them scratching and moving continually. We dust them frequently with lice powder. It goes without saying we clean our brooders daily. At two weeks old, we move them in colony houses and leave them free to run on the range, feeding morning and night cracked corn varied by wheat and oats.—J. W. Ennock, Knox County, Illinois. Brown Leghorns as Layers From Farmers' Review: In my opinion Brown Leghorns are the best layers of all the heens and lay a large egg, as they are bred to-day larger than Plymouth Rock heens. I of course breed in my pullet, line the large sized S. C. Brown Leghorns and not the small kind, as they did for years back. They are easy to breed and not the small kind, as they did for as many chickens from 75 Brown Leghorn eggs as I can from 100 Plymouth Rocks, and a Brown Leghorn lays well for many years, while a Plymouth Rock lessons it the second and third year. I feed well cooked grain and vegetables but this food does not fatten them, while the larger breeds get more experience is the I can make more money in raising eggs for market than I can in raising poultry. To raise early chicks for spring market is very expensive, and in the fall prices are too low for any profit. The S. C. Brown Leghorns are very stylish bird. It pays to produce the eggs and the Leghorns will do the job. They are called the egg machines, and so they are—H. M. Moyer, Berkes County, Pennsylvania. Light Brahman The leading variety of the Asiatic class is the light Brahma. This fowl has a history that would fill pages were it recorded. They are the fowls which caused the "hen fever" of the fitties, about which so much has been written in later years. Their early history is a matter of controversy, the Brahma Poorail, "Gray Shanghai," "Chittagong," "Cochin China," and what not. The early breeder named them according to his fancy for high sounding and sensational names to sell his stock. Fabulous prices were paid for them when the craze for fine poultry was at its height in the early days of the last half of the present century. The standard of the present breed was the 1899, and no deviation from the type has been made. It has stood high in popular favor since then without abatement; the vast number of breeders who are raising them fully attest their worth as a practical bird to the industry—Gee. E. Howard. HORTICULTURE Drapes in Orchards. It is surprising to find so large a number of orchards practically without drainage of any kind. Too often holes are dug in the sod and trees stuck into them, the planner hoping that kind Nature will make up for shortcomings. Sometimes she may but often she does not. The lack of drainage at the time of setting out complete failure in the almost complete failure of the orchard if it be on heavy land, and such land is preferable for orchards if it be well drained. In the putting out of orchards the drainage of the land should have the first consideration. This will be all the more necessary if the land be level and with small fall. Water then will run off very slowly even with good drainage out such drainage the trees will remain in the condition of the trees for days sometimes for weeks, preventing the approach of air to the roots. There are thousands of full grown orchards that it would pay to drain now, though the drains might have to be put closer together than would have been the case had they been put in in the first place, for the reason that it will be difficult to pulverize the soil immediately around and under the trees. The orchard that is drained gets to growing earlier in the spring than otherwise, and that is of growth counts for it. When a dry season follows, if a tree has a condition it cannot grow till that condition is changed. If that change comes late in the spring, the work of growth is shortened, especially if a long dry time follows it. The results may be very apparent in both wood and fruit, though the grower may not realize the cause. Strawberry Beds. It is a very good plan for the farmer, or the farmer's wife, to see that a new strawberry bed is planted each year. This is by all means the surest way of getting a good strawberry crop each year. A number of beds will then be in existence at the same time, and from some of them at least a good supply of berries will be secured. The old beds can be kept productive for several years, but the farmer is very likely to let them go to weeds, or, what is just as bad, get too thick. When the old bed only is to be retained, it should receive attention immediately after fruiting time. The hoe should be put into use and the rows narrowed up to a foot, and some advise six inches of soil should be turned over and pulverized. The plants themselves should be thinned to permit the development of a comparatively few plants. It will also pay to put on some manure each year if the plants do not show an inclination to grow rank. Of course, too much manure will produce great plants at the expense of berries. Get Ready to Cover Plants. In the summer is the time to get ready to cover the plants in the fall. The strawberries will need covering in the more northerly of the latitudes in which they are grown. If the matter is given no consideration till the ground freezes, the cultist may not be able to obtain the necessary covering except at considerable expense. There is much marsh grass growing in localities where it is of no value which can be mowed if taken at the right season for mowing and curing After it is beaten down by, the winds and rain or the trampling of cattle it is practically out of the reach of the farmer. Straw is fairly good for this plant, but mowing will be placed where it will be easily available at the time it is wanted. Be sides the strawberries there are many other plants that will need protection—the blackberry bushes, grape vines, raspberry canes, rose bushes, and so on. The Cow and the Milker From Farmers' Review: The cow is the greatest source of contamination in the production of milk. When cows are kept in a filthy stable, as frequently the case, they are often covered with dust at milking time, and their sides, flanks, bellies and udders are sometimes plastered with manure. Cows in this condition cannot be brushed without seriously contaminating the milk. They should be kept clean at all times, as it is not so difficult to do if the manger are properly arranged, the stalls the right length, and a fair amount of bedding is used. All loose dirt should be brushed from the cows and the udders should be washed before milking. If the cows are in the stable the greater part of the time the dung should be removed at least twice a day, and the walls and stalls scrubbed and whitewashed as often as they become soiled. Bedding and dry fodder should not be moved just previously, to milking, as this makes a surface which settles into the milk, carrying it away. The air outside is usually comparatively free from germs and the better the titration the fewer germs will the stable air contain. Many times the milk goes to his task of brushing horses or doing other dirty work, with his hands soiled and his clothing thickly covered with dust. Both soiled hands and dusty clothing are loaded with germs that injure milk. Before beginners should clean his hands and slip clean suit and cap which are used for no further pose and which may be easily perused. He should always milk with dry hands and never allow his hands to come in contact with the milk—W. J. Fraser, University of Illinois.
