In the silence that followed the voice of the blind chaplain rose clear and impressive in prayer. He called the blessings of God down upon the proceedings about to begin. The chaplain made touching reference to the departed members, asking the blessings of heaven"upon the boreaved ones left behind. At the conclusion of the prayer the clerk called the roll of the house. There was so much confusion after the prayer that the roll-call was stopped by the speaker. "All members will take their seats," he ordered. "It is impossible to proceed with the roll-call unless order is restored." His gavel hit the desk rapidly, and finally the loud voices and the shuffling of feet subsided. The first bills introduced in the house today were arny reorganization and re-portment bills. The latter is by Crumpacker, of Indiana. It provides for the reapportionment of congressional representation and reduces the representation of Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina by 13 votes. According to Crumpacker's bill, the appointment being on a basis of 198,000 population to each member. The army bill is the work of the military affairs committee and is fathered by Chairman Hull, of Iowa. - THE SENATE COMMITTEE TO WAIT ON PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Messrs. Payne, Grosvenor and Richardson were appointed by the speaker as a com- mittee to accompany the senate com- mittee to the White House for the purpose of informing the president that congress was, in session and awaited any instructions he might have to give them. The house then recessed until 2 p. m. JOE BAILEY OBJECTS TO CONNER'S ADMISSION WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.—Mr. Bailey, of Texas, in the house, objected to the admission of Mr. Conner, of Iowa, to succeed Mr. Dollier, who was recently made senator, on the ground that Dollier's resignation did not take effect until after the election. "If Mr. Dollier's resignation takes effect today, then the election of Mr. Connor was illegal, because Dollier was still the representative of the district," said Mr. Bailey. Mr. Connor was ordered to step aside for the present and the roll-call proceeded. Mr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, was appointed by the speaker to succeed Mr. Dollier on the house ways and means committee. SESSION WILL BE A MEMORABLE ONE WASHINGTON, Dec. 3—The short session of congress, beginning today, promises to be memorable in the history of the United States. Much work, not ordinarily undertaken at a short session, has been outlined, but although this congress has shown a capacity to dispose of business rapidly, it is doubtful whether the entire program can be carried out. The democratic program does not appear to be one of obstruction, the overwhelming republican victory in November having had a rather deterent effect, but in a general way the time will be found too short to make laws of the various propositions pending. Ordinarily a short session is devoted almost exclusively to the passage of appropriation bills. The importance of these measures will be overshadowed this year by bills contemplating the execution of policies of enormous magnitude. Provisions will be made for perhaps the largest expenditures ever known. There will be a $30,000,000 river and harbor bill; a large public building bill; a naval appropriation bill which will exceed by far anything in that line in the history of this country; a military appropriation bill which will be a large one; appropriations for the routine needs of the government—needs which are growing every year, and which will be in line with an expansive policy. There are fourteen of these bills. Their total will not be far from the billion dollar mark. The Nicaragua canal and ship subsidy bills, if passed, will add other millions to Uncle Sam's bill of costs. The president begins his message by commenting briefly upon the strength, prosperity and integrity of the country, calling attention to the increase in population since the beginning of the century. When the sixth congress assembled in November, 1800, the population was 5,308,438. It is now 76,304,799. We have increased in territory from 909,050 square miles to 3,846,695. The message then proceeds: "In our foreign intercourse the dominant question has been the treatment of the Chinese problem. Apart from this our relations with the powers have been happy. "The recent troubles in China spring from the anti-foreign agitation which for the past three years has gained strength in the northern provinces. Their origin lies deep in the character of the Chinese races and in the traditions of their government. The Tal Ping rebellion and the opening of Chinese ports to foreign trade and settlement disturbed alike the homogeneity and the seclusion of China. "For several years before the present trouble all the resources of foreign diplomacy, backed by moral demonstrations of the physical force of fleets and arms, have been needed to secure due respect for the treaty rights of foreigners and to obtain satisfaction from the responsible authorities for - the sporadic outrages upon the persons and property of unoffending sojourners which from time to time occurred at wildly separated points in the northern provinces, as in the case of the outbreaks in Szechuen and Shan Tung." The president then outlines the development of the Boxer movement and the efforts of the representatives of the powers in Pekin to check it, their protests and demands upon the Chinese government, however, only being met with perfunctory edicts from the palace, and evasion and futile assurances from the Tsung Yi Lamen. The United States from the earliest days of foreign intercourse with China had followed a policy of peace, omitting no occasion to testify good will, to further the extension of lawful trade and to insure by all legitimate and kindly, but earnest means, the fullest measure of protection for the lives and property of our law abiding citizens among the Chinese people. "To these ends if caused," says the president, "to be addressed, to the several powers occupying territory and maintaining spheres of influence in China, the circular proposals of 1899, inviting from them declarations of their intentions and views as to the desirability of the adoption of measures insuring the benefits of equality of treatment of all foreign trade throughout China. With gratifying unanimity the responses coincided in this common policy." "Seeking to testify confidence in the willingness and ability of the imperial administration to redress the wrongs and prevent the evils we suffered and feared, the marine guard, which had been sent to Pekin in the autumn of 1899, was withdrawn at the earliest practical moment, and all pending questions were remitted, as far as we were concerned, to the ordinary resorts of diplomatic intercourse." Then, recounting how the Chinese government had proved unable to check the Boxers and appeared to be a prey to internal dissension, the president leads up to the combined demonstration in Chinese waters by the other powers, stating that while the United States did not participate in the combined demonstration; we promptly sent from the Philippines all ships that could be spared for service on the Chinese coast. Marines were landed at Taku and sent to Pekin for the protection of the American legation, the other powers taking similar action, but still the peril increased. In referring to the attack upon the Taku forts by the powes, the president makes quite prominent the fact that the American admiral took no part in the affair on the ground that we were not at war with China, and that a hostile demonstration might consolidate anti-foreign elements and thus strengthen the Boxers to oppose the relieving column. The message continues: "The seige and the relief of the legation has passed into undying history. In all the stirring chapter which records the herolism of the devoted band, clinging to hope in the face of despair, and the undaunted spirit that led their relievers through battle and suffering to the goal, it is a memory of which my countrymen may be justly proud that the honor of our flag was maintained alike in the seige and the rescue, and that stout American hearts have again set high, in fervent emulation with true men of other race and language, the indomitable courage that ever strives for the cause of right and justice." After a brief resume of the attacks upon the legation, the killing of the German minister, Baron Von Ketteler, and the means of defense adopted by the besieged, in the course of which he refers to the gallant sorteled led by Captain Myers of the United Marine Corps, the president relates the history of the joint relief expedition. In this connection he says: "The United States soldiers, sailors and marines, officers and men alike, in those distant climes and unusual surroundings, showed the same valor, discipline and good conduct, and gave proof of the same high degree of intelligence and efficiency which have distinguished them in every emergency." In regard to the settlement of the Chinese question by the powers the president favors the Russian proposition looking to the restoration of the Imperial power in Pekin. He says, however, that for the real culprits, those who have misled the imperial judgment and diverted the sovereign authority to their own guilty ends, full expiation becomes imperative within the rational limits of retributive justice. He looks upon the matter of indemnity for our wronged citizens as a question of grave concern. He is disposed to think that compensation may be made in part by the opening of China to the equal commerce of all the world. He adds: "The government of Russia put forward a suggestion that in the event of protracted divergence of views in regard to indemnities, the matter may be delegated to a court of arbitration at The Hague. I favorably incline to this, believing that the high tribunal could not fail to reach a solution no less conducive to the stability and enlarged prosperity of China itself than immediately beneficial to the powers." revenue taxes, imposed to meet the war with Spain in the sum of $30,000,000. This reduction should be secured by the remission of those taxes which experience has shown to be the most burdensome to the industries of the people." Congress is again urged to take immediate action looking to the promotion of American shipping and foreign trade, though no direct reference is made to the pending subsidy measure. The president refers to his last annual message, in which he spoke of the necessity for early action to remedy the evils of trusts. "It is apparent," he continues, "that uniform legislation upon this subject in the several states is much to be desired. It is to be hoped that such uniformity, founded in wise and just dis- tary's recommendations and additions are approved. Congress is solicited providing for a grant of the late Admiral. He also comments on a national naval grade of vice-admiral vision for mediation account of distress both the army and the mended. The extension of by the postal service proved. He comments on excellent work a census bureau in statistics. It is congress in its apportion represen- The president then devotes several pages to our relations with other powers, touching upon the arrest of our naturalized citizens by the Austro-Hungarian government for alleged evasion of military service, the expansion of trade between this country and South America, the disturbances in Colombia and the recognition of the new government by the United States; also similar recognition of the new Dominican government. The success of our participation in the Paris exposition was revealed by the number of awards granted to American exhibitors by the international jury, namely: Grand prizes, 240; gold medals, 597; silver medals, 776; bronze medals, 544, and honorable mentions, 322-2,476 in all, being the greatest total number given to any exhibition nation. The president expresses his satisfaction over our pleasant relations with the German empire, and felicitates the country upon the good results accruing from the settlement of the Samoan problem. He confidently expresses the hope that the enforcement of the imperial meat inspection law will be free from the discriminations prevailing under the old statutes. "Much will depend," he says, "upon regulations not yet promulgated." His paragraph on the war in South Africa is confined to a legal discussion of the matter of alleged contraband cargoes. In respect to the Alaskan boundary dispute the president again refers to "the need of definitely marking the boundary where it follows the one hundred and forty-first meridian," stating that he contemplates negotiating a new convention for a joint determination of the meridian by telegraphic observation. Sorrow is expressed for the assassination of King Humbert. Referring to the lynching of Italians in Louisiana he reiterates former expressions, again inviting the attention of the country to what he terms "this reproach on our civilization." Praise is bestowed upon Japan's generous co-operation in the joint relief of the beleaguered legations in Pekin. The kindly courtesies extended by the Japanese government and naval officers to the battleship Oregon are also graciously remembered. Regarding the Nicaraguan canal the message says: "I commend to the early attention of the senate the convention with Great Britain, to facilitate the construction of such a canal, and to remove any objection which might arise out of the convention commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty." The president states: "The Nicaraguan government shows a disposition to deal fairly with the canal question, either in the way of negotiations with us or taking measures to promote the waterway." Thanks are expressed to the Imperial Russian government for the old rendered by its authorities in Eastern Siberia to American missionaries fleeing from Manchuria. It is stated that satisfactory progress has been made toward the conclusion of a general treaty of friendship and intercourse with Spain, in replacement of the old treaty, which passed into abeyance by reason of the late war. Reference is made to the purchase of Sibutu and Cagayan, Sulu, by the United States for $100,000. In the matter of indemnities due from Turkey the president says: "We await the fulfillment of the promise of the sultan to make reparation for the injuries suffered by American citizens in Armenia and elsewhere in the Turkish empire. His majesty's good disposition in this regard has been evinced by the issuance of an trade for rebuilding the American college at Harpoot." The senate is mildly criticized for its failure during the last session to act upon the commercial conventions then submitted for its consideration and approval, much disappointment to the agricultural and industrial interests of the country being caused thereby. The president is pleased with the lively interest manifested in the Latin-American states in the expedition to be held at Buffalo next year. He adds: "The policy of reciprocity so manifestly rests upon the principles of international equity and has been so repeatedly approved by the people of the United States--that there ought to be no hesitation in either branch of congress in giving to it full effect." The surplus revenues for the fiscal year, ended June 30, were $152,060,061.8. For the six preceding years we had only deficits, the aggregate of which amounted to more than two hundred million dollars. Because of the excess of revenues over expenditures, bonds and other securities have been applied to the sinking fund to the amount of $56,546,000. "Our foreign trade," he says, "shows remarkable record of commercial and industrial progress. The growth of manufactures in United States is evidenced by the fact that exports of manufactured products largely exceed those of any previous year, and agricultural products were also exported during 1900 in greater volume than in 1893." He continues: "I recommend that the congress at its present session reduce the internal revenue taxes, imposed to meet the war with Spain in the sum of $30,000,000. This reduction should be secured by the remission of those taxes which experience has shown to be the most burdensome to the industries of the people." Congress is again urged to take immediate action looking to the promotion of American shipping and foreign trade, though no direct reference is made to the pending subsidy measure. The president refers to his last annual message, in which he spoke of the necessity for early action to remedy the axils of trusts. "It is apparent," he continues, "that uniform legislation upon this subject in the several states is much to be desired. It is to be hoped that such uniformity, founded in wise and just discrimination between what is injurious and what is useful and necessary in business operations, may be outlined, Restraint upon such combinations as are injurious and which are within federal jurisdiction should be promptly applied by the congress." In taking up the Philippine question the president reiterates his former determination to uphold the sovereignty of the United States in the islands "as in all other places where our flag rightfully floats." He then quotes extensively from his instructions to the commission headed by Judge William H. Taft, in which it was authorized to assume civil control of the archipelago on September 1, 1900. Much stress is laid upon the desirability of establishing and maintaining a civil service system in the municipal and departmental governments. Late reports from the commission show an encouraging advance toward "insuring the benefits of liberty and good government to the Filipinos, in the interest of humanity, and with the aim of building up an enduring, self-supporting and self-administering community in those far eastern seas." Continuing, he says: "I would impress upon the congress that whatever legislation may be enacted in respect to the Philippine islands should-be along these generous lines. The fortune of war has thrown upon this nation an unsworth trust which should be selfishly discharged, and devolved upon this government a moral as well as material responsibility toward these millions whom we have freed from an oppressive yoke. I have on another occasion called the Filipinos 'the wards of the nation.' Our obligation as guardian was not lightly assumed; it must not be otherwise than honestly fulfilled, alming first of all to benefit those who have come under our fostering care. It is our duty so to treat them that our flag may be not less beloved in the mountains of Luzon and the fertile zones of Mindanao and Negros, than it is at home, and there, as here, it shall be the revered symbol of liberty, enlightenment and progress in every avenue of development." "The Filipinos are a quick race to learn and to profit by knowledge. He would be rash who, with the teachings of contemporaneous history in view, would fix a limit to the degree of culture and advancement yet within the reach of these people if our duty toward them is faithfully performed." The president commends the success which has attended the labors of the governor of Porto Rico and his associates. Congress is requested to confer upon the secretary of the interior supervision over the public lands in that island. The president promises that when the Cubans' constitutional convention shall have finished its labors he will transmit to congress the constitution as framed, for such action as may be deemed advisable. The recommendation for a Pacific cable between the United States and Hawaii, with an extension to Manila, is renewed, surveys having shown the entire feasibility of a chain of cables which at each stopping place shall touch on American territory. In reference to the army the president states that for the present our five or six thousand troops in Cuba cannot be withdrawn or materially diminished, and certainly not until the conclusion of the labors of the constitutional convention and a government provided by the new constitution shall have been established and its stability assured. Nor is there room for further reduction in Porto Rico, where the garrisons now number 1,655 men, which includes 879 native troops. "We will be required," he says "to keep a considerable force in the Philippine islands for some time to come. From the best information obtainable, we will need there for the immediate future from 45,000 to 60,000 men. I am sure the number may be reduced, as the insurgents shall come to acknowledge the authority, of the United States, of which there are assuring indications." The president therefore asks for authority to increase the army to the present number of 100,000. He thinks that included in this number authority should be given to raise native troops in the Philippines up to 15,000, which the Taft commission believe will be more effective in detecting and suppressing guerrillas, assassins and ladrones than our own soldiers. He favors the recommendation of the secretary of war for the detail of officers from the line of the army when vacancies occur in the various staff departments. "The army," he concludes, "cannot be top highly commended for its faithful and effective service in active military operations in the field and the difficult work of civil administration." The navy is similarly complimented upon its services in connection with the insurrections in the Philippines and the recent disturbances in Chipa. The president expresses his gratification upon the settlement of the long pending question of armor plate manufacture, a reasonable price having been secured, thus obviating the necessity for a government plant. The secre Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 75s for Six Months, 50s for Three Months; Single Copies 5. In Advance. tary's recommendations for new vessels and additional officers and men are approved. Favorable action by congress is solicited for the measure providing for a stigature to the memory of the late Admiral David D. Porter. He also commends the establishment of a national naval reserve, and of the grade of vice-admiral. Suitable provision for medals and rewards, on account of distinguished service, in both the army and navy, is recommended. The extension of rural free delivery by the postal service is cordially approved. He comments at length upon the excellent work accomplished by the census bureau in collecting industrial statistics. It is recommended that congress in its present session shall apportion representation in the several states as provided by the constitution, and in accordance with the results of the new census. Regarding the work of the department of agriculture, he says. "The department has been extending its work during the past year, reaching further for new varieties of seeds and plants; co-operating more fully with the states and territories in research along useful lines; making progress in meteorological work relating to lines of wireless telegraphy and forecasts for ocean going vessels; continuing inquiries as to animal disease; studying soils that producers may cultivate with better knowledge of conditions, and helping to clothes desert places with grasses suitable to our arid conditions." Before concluding the message, the president urges the erection of a separate building for the purpose of preserving the annually accumulating archives of the departments. The message closes with the following words: "In our great prosperity we must guard against the danger it invites of extravagance in government expenditures and appropriations; and the chosen representatives of the people will, I doubt not, furnish an example in their legislation of that wise economy which in a season of plenty husbands for the future. In this era of great business activity and opportunity, caution is not untimely. It will not abate, but strengthen confidence. It will not retard, but promote, legitimate industrial and commercial expansion. Our growing power brings with it temptations and perils requiring constant vigilance to avoid. It must not be used to invite conflicts, nor for oppression, but for the more effective maintenance of those principles of equality and justice upon which our institutions and happiness depend. Let us keep always in mind that the foundation of our government is liberty; its superstructure peace. "WILLIAM MCKINLEY, "Executive Mansion. "December 4, 1800." TENNESSEE'S VOTE.

The Southern Industrial convention opened in New Orleans Tuesday with a fine attendance both in numbers and in personnel. Gov. W. W. Heard delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the state, calling attention to the wonderful scope and purpose of the convention. He pointed out that with the greatest undeveloped resources of any part of the globe without any exception, the south should also become the greatest manufacturing center of the world, and that it lay within the scope of aims and purposes of this convention to make it such. STRIKERS STAND FIRM. Telegraph and Telephone Companies in Texas Have Troubles. Vice President Pettingill, of the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph company returned to Austin, Texas, Wednesday from a tour of the state and an examination of the strike situation. He announced that it will be a fight to the finish as far as he company is concerned, as they have done everything fair by the strikers and can do no more. The situation is getting rather strained in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas especially. DEWET IS FORCED BACK. Boers Driven From Their Position By British Troops Under Knox. The war office at London has received the following from Lord Kitchener, dated Bloemfontein, December 5: "General Knox re-engaged DeWet near Bathlieu, on the Smithfield road, yesterday. He drove the enemy from all their positions before dark, when they retreated northward. Colonel Pilcher assisted by a turning movement on Knox's left." Lord Kitchener reports also several minor affairs. If you are a sufferer from Rheumatism. See Livingston's Ad. On Page 2. NO 9. ASSURANCE IS GIVEN That South's Representation Will Not Be Cut Down. THE PRESIDENT HAS GONE ON RECORD Makes The Candid Statement That He Is Opposed, Personally, to Any Legislation on That Line. The Atlanta Constitution's special correspondent at Washington wires his paper as follows: President McKinley declared himself Wednesday in opposition to any proposition looking to the cutting down of the representation of those southern states in which there have been adopted laws or constitutional amendments designed to restrict the suffrage by eliminating the ignorant vote. It has been known to those close to the president that he would not favor any of the attempts to 'punish the people of the south for this sort of legislation which have sprung from the disordered minds of partisan Republican congressmen, but it was not until Wednesday that he cave in expression to his views. Senators Daniel and Martin and Representatives Otley and Swanson, all of Virginia, called at the white house Wednesday morning to pay their respects. The usual greetings had hardly been exchanged when President McKinley brought up the subject himself. He did not say much, for a great many words on the subject were not necessary, but what he did say was decidedly to the point and gave great satisfaction to his auditors. He said that he was not in favor of any movement to cut down the representation in congress of the southern states which had felt impelled to put into effect these restrictions to the ballot; that there might be abuses growing out of conditions in the south, but he felt these would in time rectify themselves, and that the people could be relied upon to do justice. He did not go into details to any extent, but he did make his position clear, which is, of course, the main thing. This statement is an open declaration of President McKipley's position as it has been understood. A few men like Judge Crumpacker and others who want to cater to the colored vote in their districts, will probably continue their endeavors to agitate the cutting down of southern representation, but these efforts have sympathy of neither the president nor other Republican leaders. REVENUE CUT FORTY MILLIONS. Chalgman Payne Introduces Bill Reducing Taxation Materially. A Washington special says: Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, Wednesday, introduced the bill reducing the taxation under the war revenue act, after the Republican members of the committee had agreed to the form of the measure and the articles to receive the reduction of tax. The bill provides an aggregate reduction estimated at $40,000,348. The chief items of this reduction are the stamp taxes, amounting to $22,000,000; beer, $9,632,971; cigars, $3,189,764; proprietary articles, omitting wines, $3,948,283. The estimated reductions in detail as given out by Mr. Payne are as follows: Beer, $9,832,712; cigare, $3,186,764; special taxes (section 2), custom house brokers, $138,281; custom house brokers, $8,167; circus, $11,744; theaters, $41,178; exhibitions, not otherwise provided, $84,218; total special tax, $287,599. The decision concerning beer was arrived at after some division and by a divided vote. It was first attempted to make the reduction on tea, but this was not concurred in, and the question recurring to beer, the reduction was decided upon. A Faithful Treasurer. For the thirtieth consecutive time United Brothers lodge, Independent Order of Old Fellows, at Macon, Ga., elected Mr. George R. Barker their treasurer, when the annual election of lodge officers was held Tuesday night, Mr. Barker is eighty years old, and is one of the most enthusiastic secret order men in Georgia. COLLEGE DOORS CLOSED. Appearance of Scarlet Fever at Fort Hill, S. C., Caucasus Hegira of Students. The last of 500 students of Clemson college at Fort Hill, S. O., left for their homes Tuesday. The sudden exodus was caused by the appearance of a case of scarlet fever in the college hospital. All the students stay in one building, and in that the fever appeared. It was a heroic remedy for President Harzog. Not to disband meant perhaps 500 cases. The corps was assembled, addressed by the president and intruded by the physician as to the course to prune it taken sick. Then, they were sent to their homes "all further orders." i q a The Savannah Tribune. .. hema 1 PUBLISHED ZVERY SATURDAY BY JHE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING 0, | ee Ee Sraisraasn as Guooxp-ciate xars3™ a7 Pa0Sivaxwan-roor Ovvice, Se ‘ST.

B. Young, one of the instructors of the Georgia State Industrial College. Since Mfr. Young’s residence in our miidet he has‘endeared himself to us by his unselfish efforts for the better- tent of those with whom he comes in contact. His love for education- al work is well known and his views are generally of the most practical kind. Rey. Bright, the affable rector of St. Stephen’s, deserves comnyenda- tion for throwing open the ddors of his church and allowing the public to hear such an able address. Below we give extracts from thé address : ' “The opinion is getting pretty general that the tHe 19 at land ‘eho, the Negro must take a more decided part in educating Bis youth—when he mst look sone to hi own efforts and s,£88 to the efforts of others in ibis matter. ‘There aro two or three things Uhat he needs to. snrely and quick- Jy ‘aid in: the change of anlitude of his fel Tow citizens of the dominant race toward him and that, too regartess of sections or litical parties, his real attitule toward Fitsel, abd bis lacaonal status watt is, and what it should be. “When T say that his whito fellow citizens are changing their attitude toward him, J do not necessarily say that {bey are becoin- ing mare hostile to hiro, but that there is 2 growing disposition among them to leave the Negro to solve his own problem, to work cut hislown salvation, ‘The Negro should hail this tendency with delight, kecause the power that is to project him upward or downward lies nowhere else than within himself. Hence, his attitude toward hint self is a far more serious question than that of the attitule of others toward him. “When it is made perfectly plain to him (aud individual persecutionsand immpid les- islators are helping inightily in bringing him’to this knowledge) that. his, nitimate redemption is to be eecured by his ona ef: forts together with such assistance as thes of the bther race may deem it prufent t give, them will his race line close up, and the rocest of rece integration, race unilica- tion begin. = “My faith in education—Christinn educa tion as.a'tolvent of the race question is un- faltering.

They attempted to make Masons, chargitfg all the way from 30 cents to $2" for the three degrees; and if the eandi- date protested strongly he would be made for nothing, Of course it will readily be seen thut this sor of thing could not possibly have any* stand ing among decent people. All of the riffruif'in the community desir- ous of becoming Masons applied to this spurious body, until finally tie whole fabric fell aud went to pieces begause it had no support from the people of character int the District of Columbia, ‘Che men at the head of it went to the newspapers, and. advertised themselves and their body and gave to the outside world the the impression that they had some legitimate right to existence. They sventso far as to correspond with oth er Grand Lodges in this country and ont of it,and through the énergy and unsernpulonsness of a notorious Masonic hucker who belongs in ‘another jurisdiction they id succeed in attracting some altention to their per degrecs. It happens however that the Masonic order here ‘is made upof the leading men®of the coramunity, from the Senior living Past Grand Master, Hon. John Cook, ont wealthiest citzen, to the ‘present Grand Master, Prof. Robert AL. Terrell, the principal of.our High School aud one of the best known young men in the country. In the order are all of the leading educators government officials und business men in Washington. It will readily ‘be seen that the people here would take uo stock in any body of Masons not represented by these men. Ont siders, however may have been” fool- ed to some extent for awhile, but now time has ecme when the bolters have fallen out among. themselves, The attempt made by what is known as tlie Jones crowd to hold a mect- ing here in October has resulted fn a dismal failure and cause the un- doing of bolters. ‘the regular Grand Lodge ‘repudiated ary connection with the meeting through the pub- ic press. ‘This step out off every ‘aventie for collecting funds from the people for the entertainment of vis- Itors and for payment of expenses. Hence the affair became a fizzle and the bogus organization went to piee- es because it was not able to honor adebt of thirty dollars. * ‘The National Leader, edited by Mr. Magnus Robinson who was formerly connected with the Jones crowd, has attacked tho whole rotten organization and has shown up all of the inside workings of the con- cern, Mr. Robmson became disgust. ed with the hollow attempt of "lot ‘of men without means or character to carry on the organization that mude the grand and. glorions insti- tntion of Masonry a laughing stock of the community. ° He has repudi- ated therrliole concern and has forc- ed all the Jones crowd to run to oth- er places and.eek shelter. ‘I'he reg- war Masonic body here is in excel- lent condition.

In regard to the far- western animals of this country there seems to be some peculiar quality of the alfalfa ond other grasses of the prairie, which $s absolutely necessary for their sustenance and well-being. I think that the elimatle change has very little influence upon them. I have shipped lots of mule deer, black-tailed deer, antelope and Rocky mountain skeep ‘to Europe’ and .the continent, but they did not live one year, You see that moose, for instance, live largely upon Ichen and bark. Of course, these foods caunot be secured so far from the forests, and hay proves to be a very poor substitute. I have no doubt but that if these antmals could be supplied with thelr natural food they would live as long as Mons and tigers. ° - “all the African, Indian and Aus- tralian anfmals come to this country through a general depot in}Germany.

Many people are under the delusion that Annic Laurle was merely a figment of the poet's brain, but this was not so. She was the daughter of Sir Robert Laurie, and was born In Maxwelton Honse, which stands on the “bracs” Immortalized in the song. Her birth {s thus set down in the Barjorg MS.: “At the pleasure of the Almighty God, my daughter, Annie Laurle, was born upon the 16th day of December, 1682 years, about six o'clock in tho morning, and was baptised by Mr. George, minister of Glencafrn.” Max~ Welton House Is still full of memorles of this winsome girl, and fn the long drawing-room there still "hangs uer portrait. Her lover and the author of the original song was young Douglas of. Fingland, but whether be, as {3 common with lovers of poetle temper- ameit, did not press hig eult sufficlent- ly or whether she wished a stabler husband, she gave her hand toa prosale country laird, her cousin, Mr, Alexander Ferguson. They lved the rest of thelr lives at Craigdarroch House, five miles from Maxvvelton, and when she dled Annle was buried in the beautiful glen of the aim, Lady Scott Spottiswoode, who died eatly in the present year, was respon sible for the modern version of the song—St. James’s Gazette, Good Position. ‘Trustworthy men wanted to travel.

Now, according to a German profes- sot of Berlin, nature wasn't thinklng of human eyes when she mado her profuse verdant display, and that het color scheme was carried out absolute- ly regardless of, the visual needs of humanity, He says that green does not protect the eye, and he denies that it has any beneficial effect whatever, He declares that green paper, green shedes, green glasses, green decora- tlons and green umbrellas are all 2 mistake, and that by fncreasing the green light we are simply provoking a neryous disturbance, He says that each of the colors tires a different set of nerves of vision, and, therefore, looking at one particular color saves one set of nerves at the expense of another.
