CHINA'S PLEA; KAISER'S REPLY German Emperor Demands Revenge For Death of Minister. LIBATION WILL NOT ATONE "Christianity and Civilization Demand More Than Apology and Expressed Sorrow." A Berlin special says: Following is the text of the Chinese emperor's message to Emperor William of Germany: "Greeting—That your majesty's minister has fallen a victim to the rising which has suddenly broke out in China without our officials being able to prevent it, whereby our friendly relations were disturbed, is deeply deplored and regretted. By decree we order that sacrifice be made on an altar for the deceased and Chief Secretary Kun Yarg has been instructed to pour libations on the altar. The commercial superintendents of the northern and southern ports have been ordered to take the needful measures concerning the conveyance of the coffin of the deceased. When it reaches Germany a second offering shall be made on an altar. "Germany has always maintained the friendliest relations with China. We, therefore, entertain the hope that your majesty will renounce all resentment so that peace may be arranged as soon as possible, and that universal harmony, be rendered possible for all time." This is our most anxious hope, and our most ardent wish." EMPEROR'S EMPHATIC REPLY. Emperor William replied September 30th as follows: "To the Emperor of China—I, the emperor of Germany, have received the telegram of your majesty, the emperor of China. I have observed with a satisfaction that your majesty is anxious to expiate according to the custom and precept of your religion the shameful murder of my minister, which set at naught all civilization, yet, as the German emperor and a Christian, I cannot regard that abominable crime as atoned for by a libation. "Besides my murdered minister there hays gone before the throne of God allarge number of our brethren of Christian faith, bishops and, missionaries, women and children, who, for the sake of their faith, which is also mine, have died the violent death of martyrs and are accusers of your majesty. Do the libations commanded by your majesty suffice for all these innocent ones? "I do not make your majesty personally responsible for the outrage against the legations, which are held inviolate among all nations, nor for the grievous wrongs done so many nations and faiths, and to the subjects of your majesty of my Christian belief. But the advisers of your majesty's throne and the officials on whose heads rests the blood guilt of a crime which fills all Christian nations with horror, must expiate their abominable deed. "When your majesty brings them to the punishment they have deserved, that I will regard as an expiation which will satisfy the nations of Christendom. "If your majesty will use your imperial power for this purpose, accepting to that end the support of all the injured nations, I, for my part, declare myself agreed on that point." "I should also gladly welcome the return of your majesty to Pekin. For this my general, Field Marshal Von Waldersee, will be instructed not only to receive your majesty with the honors due your rank, but he will afford your majesty the military protection you may desire, and which you may need against the rebels. "I also long for peace, which atones for the guilt, which makes good wrongs done and which offers to all foreigners in China security for life and property and above all, for the free service of their religion. "WILLIAM L. R." PORTO RICAN FEDERALS Pass Resolutions Affiliating Themselves With the Democratic Party. The federal party, at its convention at Caguaas, Porto Rico, Sunday, passed resolutions affiliating itself with the Democratic party in the United States. A cablegram from W. J. Bryan and J. K. Jones, chairman of the national Democratic committee, urging harmony, was read. Munoz Rivera made a speech in which he opposed the administration on the ground that the Foraker bill is unsatisfactory, and the Porto Ricans desire a more independent form of government. TUAN IS RESPONSIBLE And Will Be Punished as Leader of Boxers, Says Chinese Emperor. A PEACE COMMISSION IS SELECTED Several Important Dispatches Received In Washington Which Portend a Brighter Outlook. Several important dispatches were received Monday from China. Generally they tend to confirm the events recorded Saturday. From Canton, Consul McWade reports the issue of the decree punishing Tuan and his colleagues, so that there is no longer doubt as to the accuracy of Sheng's statement on the point. Mr. Conger also has received official notification of the Chinese peace commission which was forecasted by Minister Wu's advices several days ago. Mr. Conger makes no reference to the condemnatory decrees, hence it is inferred that it was not issued when his dispatch was sent last Thursday. The text of these two dispatches is as follows: CANTON, CHINA, October 1—Secretary of State, Washington: Decree just issued. Emperor blames ministers for whole trouble. Orders Tuan, Kangi and other officials degraded and punished by imperial courts. Emperor holds Tuan and others entirely responsible for bloodshed. "McWade." "PEKIN, September 27, via Takn, September 30.—Secretary of State, Washington: Have received notice today from Prince Ching that he, Earl Li, Jung Lu and Viceros Tiakum Yi and Chang Chip, Tung will act in concert in negotiations for peace. Jung Lu is in the interior, Li Hung Chang is at Tien Tsin. CONGER." It is evident that the two viceroys mentioned are Lu Kun Yi, the viceroy of Nanking, and Chang Chip Tung, the viceroy of Wu Chang, the difference in spelling being in telegraphic transmission. There has been some question as to Jung Lu being a member of the commission, but Mr. Conger's report settles all doubt. Already Minister Wu had received an edict, naming Jung' Lu as one of the commissioners, but this was questioned in other Chinese quarters. The appointment is not likely to be satisfactory to any of the powers, as Yung Lu has made himself almost as offensive as Prince Tunn. He is generalissimo of the imperial troops and is regarded as mainly responsible for the persistent fight on the legations during the cri-is. The other commissioners are highly acceptable. Earl Li and Prince Ching, are already favorably known and the two viceroys are among the most pacific, enlightened and pro-foreign men in the empire. General Chaffee reports that he is moving with rapidity toward the execution of the department's orders relative to the withdrawal of troops. The war department is in receipt of the following cablegram from him, indicating that he had received the instructions to withdraw most of the United States forces from China and had provided in accordance with those instructions for a legation guard: Adjutant General, Washington: September 29, 30 cable from Tien Tsin—Received your numbers 42 and 43. The Ninth infantry, third squadron of Sixth cavalry and light battery will constitute legation guard. Shall endeavor to get all supplies to Tong Chow before water falls. Dispatches No. 42 and 43 referred to by General Chaffee were those containing his instructions to withdraw the American troops from Pekin. HANNA TALKS OF STRIKE. Says Trouble In Coal Region Should Not Be Discussed Politically. Senator Hauna, chairman of the Republican national committee, arrived in Chicago Monday. "Any man who would put a straw in the way of a settlement of the great coal miners' strike now progressing in Pennsylvania should be taken to the nearest lamp post and hanged," said Senator Hauna. "I don't want to talk about the strike. I don't think that it should be mixed up in a party or political question, and should not be discussed from a political standpoint." DECLARED A FRAUD. Postoffice Department Sits Down On Dealers In Cotton Futures. The postoffice department has issued a fraud order against Arthur S. Foster and Arthur S. Foster & Co., of Philadelphia, dealers in cotton futures, who advertise to pay 60 cent per annum on all money deposited with them for investment. Our Postoffice at Tien Tsin. Information received at the postoffice department indicates that a United States postoffice has been opened at Tien Tsin, China, to facilitate the handling of mail matter for the troops in China. MINERS REFUSE OFFER Ten Per Cent Offer Made By Operators Is Turned Down. President Mitchell Issues Another Statement—Coal Diggers Aro Firmly Holding Out. The coal operators of the Wyoming, Lackawanna and Lehigh Valley regions held an important meeting in Wilkesbarre, Monday afternoon, and afterward gave out a statement offering the miners an increase of ten per cent in wages and also to reduce the cost of powder to the miners from $2.75 to $1.50 per keg. The difference between this rate and the old rate to be taken into account in figuring the net advance of ten per cent. So far as can be learned, none of the operators were in favor of recognizing the union in any way. The strikers say that under no circumstances will they accept the offer. They claim it is not as good an offer as the Reading company made to its men. So far as can be learned the union is ignored and the net increase must come out of the price of powder. L. M. Parmer, chairman of the press committee at United Mine Workers' headquarters, said: "The men will not return to work under such conditions. It is not a fair offer." The operators will make no further move until they hear from the men. "At United Mine Workers' headquarters this statement was given out: "What we want is: "1. A better enforcement of existing mine laws. "2. To obtain that which is fully our own, i. e., the value of labor actually performed and hitherto taken from us. "3. To obtain the right to purchase our implements of labor at a fair market value and escape from the compulsory rule which forces us to pay the operators more than twice what the same materials can be purchased for at retail in the open market. "4. To allow a readjustment of the wage scale that will nearly conform to the normal conditions of the anthracite trade and establish as nearly as practicable a uniform price for each class of work in and around the mines." The strikere say that until these concessions are granted and the union recognized they will not return to work. President Mitchell makes the following statement to the miners of the Wyoming valley: To the Miners of Wilkesbarre and Vicinity: I look forward with pleasure to the great demonstration which will be given under the aupices of the mine workers of the Wyoming valley on Tuesday, October 2d. The mine workers of the antichafe region have by their law-sabiding conduct won the respect and admiration of all justice-loving citizens of the United States. I feel assured that organized labor has won a great victory and that in the future there will be in the homes and families of the miners a little more happiness and sunshine instead of the gloom and sadness too often finding a dwelling place there. "President O. M. W. of America." According to the official report of General Superintendent R. C. Luther, of the Reading Coal and Iron Co.'s mines to President Harris at Philadelphia but seven of the thirty-nine collieries operated by the company started up Monday morning. This indicates that in spite of the offer of an advance in wages of 10 per cent the company was working five less mines Monday than on Saturday. Advices from Shenandoah state that the notice posted Sunday by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company announcing an increase in wages of 10 per cent to all of its employees was ignored by the striking mine workers in that vicinity, and none of them went to the workings Monday morning. WILL HAVE 12,000 POLICE IN TRANSYLVAN. General Baden-Powell has arrived at Pretoria to take command of the ice in the Transvaal and Orange River colony, where it is proposed to maintain a force of 12,000 men. INDEPENDENT OPERATORS KICK. They Protest Against the 10 Per Cent Concession Made to Miners. Scranton's independent coal operators came back from the Wilkesbarre conference with blood in their eyes. They declare they will not join in the proffer of a 10 per cent increase unless the coal-carrying companies agree to reduce their tolls or, to be exact, allow them 65 per cent instead of 60 per cent of the tidewater selling price for their product. They are not making 10 per cent on their investments, they declare, and if they have to increase wages 10 per cent it will practically wipe out their margins of profit. The dogs were taken to where the negro's tracks disappeared and a most exciting chase ensued. The dogs stopped at a tree in front of Odion's store on the north outskirts of Wetumpka and the crowd coming up discovered the negro sitting on a limb. He was brought down at once and carried to the scene of his crime. There he was confronted by his victim, who positively identified him as the guilty man. The preparations for death were quickly made. A rope was flung over the limb of a big oak and a hundred men stood ready and anxious to snatch the brute into eternity. Then a vote was taken as to how he should die and by an almost unanimous vote of the hundreds on the ground it was decided to burn him. The stake was prepared and the negro was bound to it with chains. Pine knots were piled about him and the flames, started by the husband of the negro's victim, quickly leaped to the feast of flesh and blood, and with wild cries upon God for mercy and help the brute paid the penalty of his crime. The crowd looked on deaf to his cries. The burned negro, before being bound, confessed to the crime and said that he was also implicated with Alex Floyd, who was hanged a couple of weeks ago for an attempted assault on Miss Kate Pearson in the attempt at the time. He said that he and Floyd had plained for other crimes of like character, but that Floyd being hanged put a stop to them. A dispatch from Montgomery says: The negro Townsend burned in Elmore county made a confession implicating seven other negroes in his crime. One of them, Virgil Miller, was in jail at Wetumpka charged with burglary, and as threats of lynching were made Miller was removed to the Montgomery jail for safe keeping. The deputy sheriff had a wild drive of fourteen miles through the country and had he been thirty minutes later in reaching Montgomery a crowd of men who came by train would have intercepted him. After reaching the city two other negroes alleged to be implicated in the crime were arrested by the deputy. They were Frank Floyd and Jake Floyd, brothers of the negro Zeb Floyd, who was lynched near Wetumpka on September 9th. A singular coincidence is that Mrs. Harrington, who was assaulted Monday, is a kinswoman of Miss Pearson, who was assaulted on September 3d, for which Zeb Floyd was lynched. It is believed the conspiracy is directed against the members of a white family. Three negroes are now in jail in Montgomery and some trouble may arise. OFFER MADE MINERS Advance of Ten Per Cent Promised By Coal Operators. The following notice, bearing date of October 1st, was posted: Sunday in the vicinity of all the collieries of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company in the anthracite region. "Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, October 1, 1900.—This company will pay an advance of 10 per cent on the wages of all men and boys employed at its collieries. This advance takes effect today. Beneath this notice another was posted, which reads as follows: "Fellow Mine Workers—United Mine Workers of America—Do not pay any attention to this notice posted by Mr. Luther, of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, but wait until you hear from President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, or until you have decided by your own locals what is right for you to do. Mr. Potter is an officer in the district branch of the United Mine Workers of America. The regular Reading company advance for the last half of September and the first half of October had previously been fixed at 6 per cent above the $2.50 basis. The scale for the preceding thirty days was at the $2.50 basis. The advance of 10 per cent offered in the posted notice by the Reading company is separate and distinct from the natural scale increase, and hence the total increase to the miners would be 16 per cent. MITCHELL IGNORED. The posting of the notice granting an increase of ten per cent to employees of collieries in the Schuylkillkill did not cause any apparent commotion at headquarters of the United Mine Workers at Hazleton. President Mitchell did not know of the action of the Reading company until informed of it by a reporter of the Associated Press. He did not express the least surprise. He refused to discuss the advance, but it is understood that he knew the ten per cent increase would be made, and was anxious to see in what manner the information would conveyed to the men. The action of the Reading company in directly notifying its men through posters indicates that the operators will not recede from the position of refusal to recognize the union. What President Mitchell's first move will be in view of this new phase of the situation is not known. "The operators are evidently not taking me into consideration," he said, "but they will wish they had." Discussing the question of compromise, the national president said it would depend upon circumstances whether a compromise would be considered. When asked if the amount of the increase would be one of circumstances, he said it would be a consideration. A special from Scranton says: The miners' strike in the Lackawanna region closed the second week without any noticeable change in condition. The strike offices at district headquarters have instructed the men, in view of a possible proposition from the operators to remain away from the mines and take no action towards going back to work until advised to do so through their local unions, which will get the word from President Mitchell and the general executive board. Twenty-Eight Bodies Found Saturday. Twenty-eight bodies were reported to have been recovered from the debris at Galveston Saturday. Up to that date 2,339 bodies have been officially reported as found. It is officially announced in London that Lord Roberts has been appointed commander in chief of the British army. YOUTSEY'S CASE CALLED. Is Charged With Being a Principal In the Shooting of Goebel. Henry Youtsey, a stenographer in the office of Governor Taylor during the latter's incumbency, was called for trial at Frankfort Tuesday in Judge Cantrill's court on the charge of being a principal in the shooting of Governor Goebel. The defense called fifty-two witnesses, only nine of whom answered. A number will be ready, however, when wanted. The defense asked and was granted until Wednesday morning to answer whether ready for trial or not. Court then adjourned.

ENRAGED AVENGERS SHOWED NO MERCY Fearful Scene Was Enacted In the Little Town of Eclectic, In Elmore County, Alabama. A special from Wetumpks, Ala., says: Winfield Townsend, alins Floyd, a negro, was burned at the stake at Eclectic, a small town in Elmore county, about 12:30 o'clock Tuesday morning for an attempted criminal assault on Mrs. Lonnie Hatrington. Monday about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a negro named Winfield Townsond, who is a nephew of the Floyd who was hanged in the Wetumpka jail week before last for attempted assault, attempted to outrage Mrs. Harrington, the wife of Lounie Harrington, whose home is situated about one mile east of Eclectic. Mr. Harrington was engaged at a gin in Eclectic. The negro came to the house and told Mrs. Harrington that her husband had sent him to get 20 cents from her. She told him that she had no change. Then the negro left, but returned in about ten minutes. According to her story, he told her his purpose and grabbed her by the throat, at the same time throwing her violently to the floor. She gave one scream, which was heard by Bob Nichols, who was passing along the road at the moment. He rushed to the house just in time to save Mrs. Harrington from the assault. The negro saw him coming and rushed out of the house and away. Mr. Nichols found Mrs. Harrington unconscious with the blood streaming out of her month and nose from the clutch of the negro, and instead of pursuing the negro at once gave his attention toward restoring Mrs. Harrington to consciousness. As soon as she recovered he gave the alarm. The news spread rapidly. All the dozen stores at Eclectic were closed; the ginneries and sawnills stopped; the people left their wagons in the road, their plows in the field and joined in the pursuit. The crowd divided, some scouring the woods near the scene of the crime, while others went to the penitentiary for the blood-hounds. OTHER NEGROES IMPLICATED.

AMERICA MAY BE HOODWINKED Report Comes That the Orientals Have Voluntarily Begun Punishment of Boxer Leaders. A London special says: Beyond a number of imperial edicts, which throw into still worse confusion the complicated Chinese situation, there, was little in Sunday's news to arrest attention. From Shanghai comes an unconfirmed report that the allies have seized Shan Hai Kwan. All the news with regard to the edicts emanates from Shanghai. According to these advises, in addition to the edicts ordering Grand Councillor Kun Kang to offer oblations before the coffin of Baron Von Ketteler and the edict directing that Li Hung Chang's entire plan be followed in regard to the punishment of the princes and high ministers of state responsible for the anti-foreign outrages, and the decree ordering that funeral honors be paid in Pekin and Tokio to the remains of Suglyama Akira, the murdered chaucellor of the Japanese legation, Emperor Kwang Su has addressed further letters to the czar and the mikado renewing his request for their aid in the peace negotiations. Various opinions are expressed as to the importance of the edicts and the sincerity of the Chinese. While these edicts have promulgated, however, feverish war preparations are still reported from Shanghai, and new pointments have been made to the Chinese army and navy. "The Chinese Official Gazette has resumed publication," says the Pekin correspondent of The London Morning Post, writing September 25th, "and contains an order directing the Pekin officials to follow the court unless their duties here prevent them leaving." CHINA ACCEPTS OUR SUGGESTIONS. Important news reached Washington Saturday afternoon, which in itself tends to advance materially the efforts for a final settlement. China has accepted the suggestions of the United States contained in the answer to the German proposition, and has begun voluntarily the punishment of the reactionary Chinese leaders who were responsible for the Pekin contrages. The department of state was informed by Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai, that Sheng, Chinese director of railways and telegraphs, has handed him a decree of the emperor and empress, dated at Talguan, September 25th, blaming their ministers for encouraging the boxers. The edict orders the degradation of four princes and deprives Prince Tuan of his salary and official servants. He is to be brought for trial before the imperial clan court. It will be recalled that in our answer the state department was careful to state that while it did not believe in demanding the surrender of the Chinese ringleaders as a condition precedent to negotiations, it was resolved firmly, as Secretary Hay had said in his note of July 3d, that in the end the guilty parties should be held to the uttermost accountability. The Chinese government has taken this intimation to heart, and perhaps hastened in its action by the recent manifestations of dissatisfaction by the United States government at the reported promotion of Prince Tuan, already has begun the punishmer of him and the other Chinese leaders who are held guilty. RUSSIA WITHDEAWS FROM PEKIN. At the conference of generals at Pekin on September 25 the Russian commander, General Linevitch, announced the immediate withdrawal from Pekin of the bulk of the Russian troops and the legation. There will remain a mixed force of about 2,000 to represent Russia. INTOLERANCE CONDEMNED. Teller County, Colorado, Democrat, Adopts Strong Resolutions. The Teller county, Colo., Democratic convention, and the Democratic club of Victor adopted the following resolutions unanimously: "Whereas, Governor Boosevelt and party were not received in Victor with the tolerance and courtesy due to the governor of a sister state, therefore, "Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Victor, in convention assembled, condemn the spirit of intolerance and discourtesy exhibited on that occasion, and disavow all responsibility disburances."

National Baptist Convention The National Baptist Convention convened in its twentieth annual sessions in Richmond Va, Sept 12-17. The session was the largest and most harmonious that has yet been held. There were about 1500 present and the sermons, addresses and papers read were all of a high class in logic earnestness and spiritually. Many states were represented. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North and South Carolina were among the states largely represented. The Texas delegation was limited because of the great storm in Galveston. The convention raised $208 for the sufferers and fowarded it to Texas. The reports of the various boards were all quite encouraging. The National Baptist Publishing Board had furnished literature to ten thousand Sabbath schools in the way of quarterlies, cards etc., for which $43043 had passed into the treasury of the Board. This department has a fine staff of editors and contributors and a large staff of mechanical operators setting type, running presses, book binding and the like. The report of the Foreign Mission Board Rev. Jordan the secretary reports several thousand dollars raised during the year and all the missionaries in foreign fields had been paid up and school and church work were in a good condition. The education board reports seven colleges owned, manned and operated by boards in the convention for which $108 were raised during the year. The Board of the N. B. Y. P. U. reports many local district and state unions formed during the year and something more than $2,363 raised or collected for literature and fixtures during the year. Dr. R' H. Boyd is the general secretary and manager of the publishing house; Rev. Isaac is the great worker and organizer of the N. B. Y. U., Rev. Bishop Johnson is secretary of the educational board, Rev. Jordan is secretary of the Foreign Mission Board. There was a great missionary rally on Sunday at the great auditorium where there were present six or seven thousand persons. Some good misssonary addresses were made by some who are going out as missionaries and other ministers of the convention. Prominent among these were Rev. P. J. Bryant, B. D., Atlanta Ga. pastor Wheat street Baptist church. This leads me to remark that Georgia and Savannah were well represented at the convention, among whom were Revs. Durham, Gray, Whitmire, Griffin, Maddox, of Sovannah; Dwelle, Wilkins, Williams, Klugh, White and Williams of Augusta; Murry and Harrison, Atlanta; Fisher, Bryant, Carter, Forbes, Johnson and Pres. Holmes, Macon; Beauford of Waycross. The Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial Colleges are the two Baptist institutions of special interest to many of the delegates. The Negro population of Richmond is thoroughly enterprising and progressive. The next convention meets in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Educational Anniversary of St. Philips Monumental church, New street, last Sunday night, was a success in every way. A large audience listened to the rendition of a very excellent program, which was interesting from beginning to end and heartily enjoyed by all. The features of the evening were the duct by the Misses Virginia Sherman and Rosa Lee Walker, and the masterly address by Mr. James P. Sherman, the Superintendent, on the subject "Our duty to Morris Brown College." Mesdames Josephine Singleton, Mamie L. Walker, rendered two very effective solos. Mrs. M. F Carroll on "Home Training," Miss Maria Boggs on "True Education," and Mr. Jus. E. Robinson on "True Manhood" were very instructive and gave much food for thought. A short address by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Singleton, brought the exercises to a close. The members and friends then laid a liberal offering for education on the table, fully meeting expectations. Mrs. Clarinda Wilson, mother of Mrs. Fannie Ford of this city and of Mrs J. B. Garnett of Brunswick died on Tuesday and was buried from the Bethlehem Baptist church of which she was the only surviving founder. Mrs. Wilson was an old citizen of Savannah: her former husband, Rev. Isaac Brown, was the first pastor of the above church of which she was a member. She leaves several grandchildren, Messrs. Charlea, Robert and Joseph Ford, Misses Ethel and Ada Purcell.

MASONIC COLUAN. AMERICUS, GA., Oct. 2, 1900. One of the most imposing occasions ever took place in the state was that of the opening of the Masonic Grand Lodge on Tuesday last in Americus. There sets on a hill, one of the highest in Americus, a building which is really a monument to the efforts of the Masons of Georgia, with a commanding appearance of three stories of brick, a cupola on either side and a becoming appearance, with an auditorium seating more persons than any hall in Savannah. This auditorum was filled with delegates, the citizens both ladies and gentlemen, along with the Mayor of Americus and a number of his aldermen. The welcome address on behalf of the citizens was delivered by Mayor Hixon in a practical and conservative manner. He was responded to by Past Grand Master J. H. Deveaux, and it was said by all that it was a great effort and fully endorsed by the craft and his hearers. Rev. J. W. F. Philips of St. Johns Lodge, welcomed the craft in behalf of the Masons and Rev. Floyd Snelson in a happy vein responded to Bro Philips. The above was interspersed with singing, and it all tended to cause the present session of the Grand Lodge to be an inspiring one. It was real gratifying to see the large number of citizens present. After these exercises were concluded, the Grand Lodge was called on in ample form. A session was held Tuesday afternoon, and also at night, at which time much business was transacted. The reports of the grand officers were of an encouraging order and all of the brethren will go home with a feeling to work so much the harder for the order. Mrs. Edwards, the Worthy Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, presented the Grand Lodge the picture of the first Worshipful Master of a lodge in Georgia, Rev. A. L.
