Volunteers In Philippines Can't Come Home Just Yet. MUST AWAIT THE REGULARS Congress Is To Provide Men to Take Their Places Before They Can Be Relieved. A Washington special says: As a result of a conference between the secretary of war and Quartermaster General Ludington it has been decided that no further action can be taken with regard to the return of the volunteers from the Philippines until congress shall make provision for their replacement. The war department is considerably embarrassed by the failure of congress to make provision before the recess for the relief of the military situation in the Philippines Acting upon representations made by General MacArthur, the department has concluded that it is absolutely necessary to maintain an army of 60,000 men in the Philippines until the current policy of establishing municipal governments throughout the archipelago has been executed. It is stated at the department that any reduction of the military strength below that figure under existing conditions would undoubtedly prove most disastrous to the interests of the United States. There are now about 69,000 troops, regulars and volunteers, in the Philippines, and arrangements have been made already for bringing home 9,000 of that number. No further reduction will be made until the war department is advised fully of the purpose of congress with regard to army legislation. When the necessary authority has been given it is the purpose of the department to bring home as rapidly as possible all the volunteers and regulars whose terms of enlistment expire on the 30th of June next, but not before it is possible to replace them man for man with new recruits enlisted under the terms of the new army bill. It therefore appears that after the 9,000 volunteers have left the Philippines no more troops will be withdrawn from that country until they can be relieved by fresh troops recruited in the United States in accordance with legislation yet to be enacted. It is expected that congress will act promptly on the army bill soon after it reassembles in January, but even in that event, it is said at the war department it will not, be possible to get the fresh troops to the Philippiucs inside of two months' time. The general home-coming movement of the mass of volunteers, therefore, will have to be postponed until about the first of February. That will give the quartermaster's department but five months' time to bring home the remainder of the volunteers and the regular troops whose terms will expire at the same time, aggregating about 40,000 men, before the first of July. This understanding is believed to be beyond the capacity of the transport service as at present organized and may necessitate the charter of additional steamships. All arrangements in that line, however, will be held in abeyance until definite information has been received of the intention of congress with regard to the proposed increase of the regular army. Recent cable advices from General MacArthur indicate a strong desire on the part of the volunteers generally to return to the United States and that comparatively few of them are likely to re-enlist without the most liberal inducements are offered. It is understood that General MacArthur has recommended that a bounty of $250 be allowed to each soldier in the Philippines who re-enlists for another term, and the plan is said to meet with the favor of the officials of the war department. Help For Lord Kitchener. A dispatch received in London from Belfast states that, all available cavairy have been ordered to prepare for service in South Africa. This is regarded as confirmatory of the report that Lord Kitchener has asked the war office for 30,000 more men. Made By Storm Victims In Little Town of LaGrange, Tennessee. The people of LaGrange, Tenn., have sent out an appeal for help. They say that all the business portion and nearly all the residence portion of the town are in ruins and many of the inhabitants are left utterly distitute. They ask that contributions be sent to W. F. Hancock mayor of the town. Safe Crackers at Work. Professional cracksmen burglarized the Farmers' bank at Orland, O. T., Wednesday night, and secured more than $5,000. The robbers blew the safe open with nitroglycerine. TREATY GOES TO ENGLAND. Amended Hay-Pauncefote Entente Forwarded From State Department In Duplicate. A Washington special says: The state department has decided to send the amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty to the British government through two channels, one copy being transmitted to Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, and the other through Ambassador Choate, at London, who will present it to the foreign office. It is the understanding that the state department will make no representations whatever as to the changes made in the treaty; the senate amendments will be allowed to speak for themselves and the action of the department in notifying them to the British government will be purely formal. It can be authoritatively stated that there has been no exchange whatever, either in the shape of written notes of oral communications between the state department and the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, that has developed a threat on the part of those governments to refuse assent to the construction of a canal in view of the action of this country upon the Hey-Pauncefote treaty. All that is officially known of the attitude of the two governments mentioned is that their representatives in Washington—Senors Corea and Calvo—thoroughly approved of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as the basis for the canal construction. Whether or not the changes made in that convention will affect their attitude is unknown. GERMANS CLAIM DAMAGES. Want United States to Pay Losses Entailed Through War With Spain. The German embassy has laid before the state department the claims of a number of German subjects for damages to their interests in Cuba as a result of the Spanish-American war and the insurrection which led up to the war itself. This action of the German government has raised a most important issue and the department of state has given it the closest consideration. It has been concluded, however, that the United States government cannot responsibility for the claims. They are regarded as practically the same, in principle as the claim of Porto Rico against Cuba for $2,500,000 on account of a war loan. Although in that case Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, represented the United States government in preferring the claim that government was obliged to deny its liability or the liability of Cuba under present conditions. The answer to the German representation will be based upon the reply to Governor Allen recently made. It is known that other governments beside Germany have claims aggregating large sums, all based on the Cuban insurrection and succeeding events. Soma Important Clews Pound Which May Lead to Capture of Outlaws. An Omaha dispatch says: Two important developments in the Cudahy kidnapping case are reported to the police, and it is hinted by the father of the boy that other information which may lead to the discovery of the abductors is being kept from the public. The lantern used by the kidnappers to signal the father when he delivered the gold has been located beyond doubt on the exact spot where the ransom was paid. Near it were two bags made from the legs of trousers. In a barn near Pacific Junction, Iowa, 22 miles south and just across the river, a pony was found answering the description of the one ridden by one of the guilty persons. BRYAN TO ANSWER GROVER. Nebraskan Will Have His Say at Big Banquet to Be Held in Chicago. The Chicago Chronicle says: William Jennings Bryan will answer. ex-President Cleveland's criticism of the Democratic party at the annual banquet of the W. J. Bryan league of Chicago on the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, January 8. The affair will take place at the Sherman house. It will be Bryan's first public speech since his second defeat for the presidency. AMERICANS ARE OUSTED. President Castro, of Venezuela, Seizes Their Property. Advices from Caracas state that President Castro has issued a decree announcing that the New York and Bermudez concessions entailing the company to mine all the asphalt in the state of Bermudez for twenty-five years is annulled, and that the titles to the asphalt mines issued in 1888 are invalid. The decree will deprive the company of its rights and properties. President Castro recognizes two titles, which cover a large portion of the company's asphalt lake, and which were granted to native officials. TEXT OF JOINT NOTE DEPARTMENT GIVES OUT A COPY China Recognizes With Regret Her Responsibility and Is Willing to Make Amends. The state department Saturday made public the text of the joint note of the powers to China. The official statement, after reciting China's offenses, proceeds as follows: Inasmuch as China has recognized her responsibility, expressed regret and evidenced a desire to see an end put to the situation created by the aforesaid disturbances, the powers have determined to accede to her request upon the irrevocable conditions enumerated below, which they deem indispensable to expiate the crimes committed and to prevent their recurrence: 1.

The right for each power to maintain a permanent guard for its legation, and to put the diplomatic quarters in a defensible condition, the Chinese having no right to reside in that quarter. VII. The destruction of the forts which might obstruct free communication between Pekin and the sea. IX. The right to the military occupation of certain points to be determined by an understanding among the powers, in order to maintain open communication between the capital and the sea.

Until the Chinese government has complied with the above conditions to the satisfaction of the powers, the undersigned can hold out no expectation that the occupation of Pekin and the provinces of Chi Li by the general forces can be brought to a conclusion. ROBBERS LOOT BANK Chased By Officers and One Is Captured After Hard Fight. OCCURRED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT Safe Blown Open With Nitroglycerine---Man Caught Had All the Stolen Money. A battle between five bank robbers and several officers occurred at an early hour Saturday morning near Tullahoma, Coffee county Tenn., in an attempt, made by the latter to arrest the former. Shortly after 10 o'clock Friday the Coffee County bank, in Manchester, was broken into by the robbers, who, after blowing open the safe by the use of nitro glycerine, took $3,000 in currency from the safe and, hurrying to a hand car on the branch line of the Nashville v., Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, started for Tullahoma. While the robbers were in the bank, next door to the telephone exchange, their presence was discovered by Mrs. E.R. Taylor, whose husband is the superintendent of the telephone exchange, and she quietly notified Sheriff Powers of the fact. The sheriff hastened to the bank, but when he arrived he found that the robbers had completed their work and had fled. Mrs. Taylor informed the authorities at Tullahoma and a party of deputies at once started toward Manchester to look for the robbers. The latter left the hand car at Hickerson, a station near Tullahoma, and were walking across the country when they were met by the officers. The latter fired upon the party, who returned the shots, but no one was wounded, and all the robbers except one succeeded in making their escape. The one who was captured had $3,000, the money taken from the bank, concealed in a sack. He would not give his name, but said he was a member of a good family in Ohio, and that he belonged to a gang of professional robbers who had got together at Dechard and decided to rob the Manchester bank. INAUGURATION RATES. Liberality of the Railroads Will Draw Large Crowds to Washington. The general committee in charge of the arrangements for the inauguration of President McKinley on March 4th next has been informed by the railroads constituting the Trunk Line Passenger Association that liberal rates will be made for those who attend the inauguration ceremonies. For individuals one first-class limited fare for round trip will be charged, the tickets to be good going on March 1st, 2d and 3d from points within 150 miles of Washington on March 4th, and good returning leaving Washington to March 8th inclusive. For military and other organizations the fare will be one cent a mile each way, with a minimum per capita fare of $10 for fifty or more traveling together. For advance committees to make arrangements not exceeding three persons the fare will be half the per capita charged organizations, the tickets to be used within the required limit not exceeding February 28, 1901. AUDITOR MORRIS KILLED. An Ex-Dislbursting Clerk of the Treasury Department His Slayer. A Washington dispatch says: Frank H. Morris, of Ohio, auditor of the war department, was shot and instantly killed Saturday afternoon by Samuel MacDonald, also of Ohio, recently a disbursing clerk of the treasury, in the former's office at the Winder building, on Seventeenth street. MacDonald afterward shot himself and also slashed his throat with a ponknife. Auditor Morris was closeted alone with MacDonald when the shooting occurred. Employees who knew MacDonald said he had had a grievance against Morris, who he claimed was responsible for having his pay reduced. Others who knew, him said that they could not attribute his deed to anything but a diseased brain from over indulgence in liquor. CHINESE LOSE HEAVILY. Count Von Waldersee Tells Emperor William of a Victory. The following dispatch from Field Marshal Count von Waldersee, dated Pekin, Friday, December 21st, has been received at Berlin: "A column dispatched from Pao Ting Fu, commanded by Major Haine, engaged a force of Chinese regulars December 15th at Hung Tasing Sien, ninety kilometers northwest of Pao Ting Fu. Our losses were one officer and two non-commissioned officers wounded. The Chinese losses were considerable." JAPAN IS SYMPATHETIC. Dilatory Tactics of Pekin Diplomats Causing a Revolution of Mongol Sentiment. The correspondent of the Associated Press at Yokohama, Japan, wires that the wearisome and disappointing delays of the Pekin diplomats are having a marked effect upon public opinion in Japan, producing what may be regarded as almost a revolution of sentiment in favor of China. The native papers are now mainly ranged on the side of leniency in dealing with the chief instigators, not, only from a practical point of view, looking at the supreme importance of inducing the government to return to Pekin, but also owing to the inherent force of the spirit of patriotism which characterizes the Japanese natives. The Japanese are naturally asking themselves what they would have done under similar provocation. The answer has given rise to an outflow of something strongly resembling sympathy, and Japan is therefore ranging itself on the side of the nations which are counseling the most moderate terms possible in the negotiations with the Chinese court. It is noticeable also that even some of the foreign papers here are upon the same side, The Japan Mail conspicuously so. The missionary question, of course, occupies a foremost place in the discussion. It is now felt as essential that the western powers take cognizance of the fact that religious invasions of oriental countries by powerful western organizations are tantamount to filibustering expeditions and should not only be discountenanced, but stern measures should be adopted for their suppression. It is, of course, admitted that individual religious zeal in the line of propagandism cannot be interfered with, but the mission boards constitute a standing menace to peaceful international relations and are here generally recognized as such. The business stagnation continues and is exciting Rome alarm in foreign as well as in native circles. CONFEDERATE REUNON DATE. Next Annual Gathering of Old Soldiers Will He Beld at Memphis, Tenn. The following general order has been issued by Adjutant General Moorman, of the United Confederals' Association: HEADQUARTERS UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, December 22, 1900.—1. The general commanding announces, the department commanders concurring, that on account of the urgent request and insistence of "our host," the next annual meeting and reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, which is to be held in the city of Memphis, Tenn., will take place on May 28th, 29th and 30th, 1901—Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. 2. With pride the general commanding also announces that 1,300 camps have now joined the association and applications have been received at these headquarters for papers for over one hundred or more. He urges veterans everywhere to send to these headquarters for organization papers, to form camps and join this association so as to assist in carrying out its benevolent, praiseworthy and patriotic object. By order of J. B. GORDON, General Commanding. CHANGES ON SOUTHERN. S, H. Hardwick Is Made General Passenger Agent-Other Promotions. S. H. Hardwick has been appointed general passenger agent of the Southern railway with headquarters at Washington. General Passenger Agent Turk has been promoted to the position of assistant passenger traffic manager of the Southern. W. H. Tayloe, at present assistant general passenger agent of the same line at Louisville, is transferred to Atlanta to fill the vacancy created by the promotion of Mr. Hardwick. These are the three principal features of an announcement of changes to become effective January 1st, made by Vice President Finley, of the Southern. At the same time announcement is made of the appointment of R. E. L. Bunch, at present Mr. Tnirk's chief clerk, to be assistant general passenger agent of the Southern at St. Louis, and of R. M. Allen to a similar position at Louisville. CHRISTMAS PARDONS. Prisoners In Virginia Penitentiary Made Happy by Governor Tyrler. A Richmond dispatch says: Six prisoners in the Virginia penitentiary will receive pardons as Christmas gifts from Governor Tyler and through the exercise of clemency will be permitted to enjoy their dinner at home as free men. Justice Crutchfield will, in like manner, release twenty-seven prisoners from the city jail with his compliments. The governor has spent much of the last few days considering pardon recommendations by the board and made up his list today. Advices from Pekin state that the preliminary joint note was delivered to China Monday. Li Hung Chang found that he was unable to attend the meeting of the ministers, and his credentials and those of Prince Ching were presented by the latter to the foreign envoy. Prince Ching, replying to the Spanish minister, Senor B. J. de Cologan, who presented the note, said he would immediately communicate its contents to the emperor and assured the ministers that a speedy reply was the desire of the court, as it felt that all China wants peace and prosperity. Secretary Hay has received a cablegram from Minister Conger, at Pekin, announcing that he had signed the agreement reported by the foreign ministers, but had done so with the written explanatory statement setting forth the exact position of his government. The text of the statement is not forwarded by Mr. Conger, but it is understood to be based upon the last instruction received from the department, which, while disapproving inclusion in the agreement of secreting the severe language, accepted the best arrangement that could be at this time. It is believed that the United while sanctioning the pro- the agreement relative to tenance of permanent line of munication, legation guards andhibition of the importation on into China, indicates clearly that stitutional reasons prevent the executive from making any pledge to take part in the execution of these plans. The signing of the agreement by the ministers closes what is regarded here as the first, the most important and the most difficult phase of the negotiations as to China, for it is doubted that the Chinese envoys will subscribe to the agreement without amendment. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. List of New Industries Reported During the Past Week. Among the more important of the now industries reported for the past week are agricultural implement works at Raleigh, N. C., and a $100,000 company at Norfolk, Va., for the manufacture of agricultural implements; a bleachery at Washington, Ga.; buggy works at Goldsboro, N.

Residents of Cape Colony are Turning Around Urtitlons and Situation Sarlings. Against Urtons and Situation Serions. A London special says: The position of Cape Colony is hanging in the balance. According to the Morning Post's Cape Town correspondent, everything depends upon the quantity of ammunition in possession of the disloyal Dutch residents, fifteen hundred of whom have joined the Boers in one district alone. Energetic injuries have been taken to stem invasion, but there is danger that ties of Boers will get through parts of the colony, and gradually the whole cape into rebellion. LET everybody turn over a new leaf for better results. Our ambition for the new century should be to have an aim in life and endeavor to reach it. TUESDAY will be the beginning of the month, the beginning of the year, and the beginning of the century. The drunken orgies exhibited on our streets during Christmas are sufficient to cause the heathen to blush with shame. Some of the boys are sorry that Mr. McMillan has refused to become However, the more conservative element is glad that it will not be a boodle campaign. THE hope is expressed that during the coming year the board of education will remodel the West Broad Street School and erect a new building for colored children in the southwestern section. CHRISTMAS EVE was eventful on the criminal side in this city, and elsewhere in the south. The day was bright and cheerful and yet keen men and women made it useful by their actions. Chicago Conservator in its issue called down Rev. Brown of that city because of his bragging of his mother and Indian and his father a man. The Conservator severely and justly too. His son has been looked up to of the ablest representatives of the pulpit, and one true to race principles, but to the latter he has, by his recent bad breaks, lost caste. For the past two weeks many of our colored voters have been very active in the organization of clubs for the coming campaign. They became enthusiastic over the matter and worked hard to have large attendance at the meetings. The reason why some of them worked so hard is apparent. The main endeavor of these workers should not be a selfish one. They should so organize their forces as to make demands for race recognition. So long as they continue to look out for self and leaving all other principles aside, the weaker the race will be, and the harder will be the fight for recognition in the future. ONLY two more days remain before this year and this century will be ushered into eternity. Many are living at a period that will never be experienced again—the turning of a century point. The past year and century have been eventful. The year was fraught with many things that tended to shape the destiny of the world for years to come. The century is the most progressive one in the history of the world. Its greatest enactment to the colored citizens of the United States is the abolition of slavery within the borders of the United States. Its inventions have revolutionized affairs of the world. The progressiveness of this century gives only an insight of that of the next one. Much is expected, much will be realized. [By Rey, C. T. Walker. Do the colored people gain or lose by leaving the south and coming North on account of the disfranchisement? This subject may be viewed in several ways, and hence may admit of several constructions: if it is whether the colored people who leave the South and come North on account of disfranchisement will gain the right-to vote, will suffer fewer discriminations; then, I state, they will gain by such a change. But, if it is meant, that by leaving the South and coming North would the colored man be benefited to a larger extent than remaining in the South, then I'm prepared to take the position that he will lose. The South is the most suitable and convenient section of this country for the colored man. The colored man enjoys better health in that climate. It is much more congenial than the North or the west; he can live much cheaper, nature has made the South largely resistant with the poverty stricken addition of the people. This advantageous to the colored remain in the South because opportunity to take part in the work of the almost bourgles resources of that section. It is but recently that southern men have realized the boundless resources of their section of the country; the great water powers; the millions of granite, unexploded mines, unculivated lands; the opportunity to farm on progressive and scientific principles. The colored man of the South has the advantage of sharing in all of this; he can buy land, he can organize joint stock companies, engage in business, start factories, conduct banks, coal mines and his advantage for earning a livelihood and becoming wealthy are superior to the advantage of his colored brother in the North. The colored man, in the third place, would lose by coming to the North in large numbers, because of the inability of colored people in large cities to purchase property and build homes, hence we must continue to have a floating population in these large cities. The colored man in the South has the advantage in that, he can buy, build a home, make it comfortable, and where people purchase property, build homes, become real estate owners they become interested in good government the reign of law and order, and cannot afford to float about from one country to the other; hence they will have permanent citizenship, more attention can be paid to the instruction of their people of the duties of citizenship, of the stability of character, sacredness of the home, the importance of accumulating something for allictions and old age. It will be impossible for the colored man to make the same progress in the North that he has made in the South, for instance, a recent pamphlet based upon the property returns required by the State of Georgia, seems to throw a clearer light upon the subject. According to these returns, the white people of the state owned property in 1878 valued at $229,000,000, in 1893 at $410,000,000. During the same interval of fifteen years the property owned by colored people increased from $5,000,000 to $15,000,000 a gain of 80 per cent, by the colored as against a gain by the whites of 80 per cent. This notable increase of property by the colored people is a hopeful indication. In Virginia the increase is still greater and more gratifying. If the colored man leaves the South for the North because he hopes to get away from prejudice, he will be mistaken; prejudice is as strong against the colored man in the North as in the South; it is met and dealt with however, in a different way. In the North the colored man is not disfranchised, he is not discriminated against in the street cars, the railroads and some other places; he is, however, frequently prevented from making an honest living because from the color of his skin, doors are shut in his face frequently when he seeks honest employment, and in the last few months race prejudice has been shown to be as rampant in New York in Chicago, in Colorado, in Ohio, as some places of the South. We must all confess that the action of the Southern States in attempting to disfranchise the colored people because of ignorance, as they claim, and yet, allowing ignorant white men to continue to vote is unjust and unconstitutional. The people in this country who favor the disfranchisement of the colored man is making a direct blow at the fundamental principles of this American Government; many of them are foreigners whose ideas of Government are antagonistic to the principles of which the National Constitution is the exponent; and if those States can interfere with the National Constitution by violating its amendments, then they can violate any part of the Constitution, and if they violate any part, then all of it. And yet, I believe that it will only be a question of time when the states who have passed their laws of disfranchisement will soon disreform them and give the colored man again the right to cast his ballot untrammelled. All of this unjust treatment that the colored man is receiving is because of his progress intellectually and financially and his numerical growth. The progress the colored man has made in the former slave states, under such adverse circumstances, is remarkable and startling; cotton factories operated by colored men, a coal mine in Birmingham, Ala., banks operated by Negro Presidents and Negro directors; many of them owning the plantation of their former masters where they were born as slaves and worked upon the land under the overseer's lash, and now owning this land from the informal regions to the etherical blue. My opinion is, that the colored man ought to remain in the South, buy land, engage in business, educate his children, and by his continued progress attract the attention of the best people of the world, until they shall be willing to rise up and defend the colored man in all his rights, because of his steady progress intellectually, morally and financially. I believe it to be only a question of time when the Southern Negro by his own efforts and exertions will make such progress, that he can demand the repeal of every unjust law on the Southern in the Phoenix New York Thursday was St. John's day. It was observed here by the installing of the officers of the several lodges. It was a grand affair. The past master's degree was conferred on three newly elected worshipful masters on Tuesday, Bro. E. N. Sullivan of Mt. Morrah Lodge, Bro. J. C. Miller, of Hilton Lodge and Bro. Garey of Prince Hall Lodge. From an account of the recent Prince Hall grand lodge meeting in Boston, we learn that R W, William H. Robinson was for the fourth time re-elected grand treasurer. Brother Robinson is a Georgian. He is the oldest son of Mrs. Catherine Stewart of Savannah. Following are officers elected of various lodges: , Eureka lodge, No 1, R M Danielly W M; Geo. Binyard, S W; E McQueen, J W; J B Butler, Treas; S G Johnson, Sec'y. Hilton No 2, J C Miller, W M; Louis Thomas, S W; Geo Price, J W; Henry Lea, Treas; S G Webster, Sec'y. Mt Moriah No 15, E N Sullivan, W M; Chas W Swinton, S W; W H Burgess, J W; A Barnard, Treas; G W Williams, Sec'y. Anchor Lodge, Eldorendo, P M, Z R Fullmore, W M; M Donaldson, S W; J A Miller, J W; Wm Fullmore, Secy; C Bank, Treas. Grand Lecturer, J R Thornton visited the lodge and conducted the election, also gave an interesting lecture upon true Masonry. Anchor lodge is always glad to welcome him. Worshipful Master Fullmore returned thanks to the brethren for their loyalty to him. Purnell lodge is at home once more. It was first set up at Waltertown, remained there about four years, when it moved to Waxcross and remained there about five years where it almost died. On the 26th of May 1899 it was granted a dispensation to move to Nicholls. A hall has been erected 30x50 and the brethren are flocking back home. Since the election of Bro. J W Jacobs as Worshipful Master in 1897, he has been serving ever since and Purnell is now up to date. At the electip on the 14th instant the following were elected: J W Jacobs, W M; Jim Williams, S W; E D Summerson, J W N Smiley Treas; W J Richardson, Secretary; James Worthy, S D; J I Harris, D J P: Nelson, S S; W M Filmore, J S; Rev G S Statem, Chaplain, Wm White, Marshal; W H McNeil, Tyler. They were installed on the 25th. Benjamin No. 146, Adrian, W. B. Ricks, W M; Wm. Atkinson, S W; J. L Lavine, W J; W Z. Holt, Treas J. B. Gillis, Socy; Prince Evans, S D; J. Lairs, J D; J. H. Maxey, S S; Fred Teams, J S; J. M. B. Wallace, Chaplain, L B Brooks, Marshal; W H Blount, Tyler. Brother A. B. Gillis says: "Benjamin lodge is coming. It means to lead her sister lodges and our beloved brother W. B. Ricks at its head I feel that success is sure. No man stands stronger and works harder for the cause of the fraternity than he.

MULLINO INDORSED BY DEPEW. SAYS THE WREN AMST. WILL SURPASS THE PARIS FAIR. Tells Chairman J. N. Scatcherd the Half Has Not Been Told of the Grandeur and Beauty of the Exposition at Buffalo. "Scatcherd, you did not praise it half enough." So spoke the distinguished statesman and famous after dinner ormor, Senator Chaucey M. Depew, as he stood in the center of the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo and gazed upon the beautiful structures surrounding him on every side and now approaching completion. Senator Depew had come to Buffalo to deliver an address. His first desire NEW YORK STATE BUILDING. NEW YORK STATE BUILDING. on arrival in the city was to be driven to the grounds of the Exposition. The remark quoted above was addressed to Chairman John N. Scatcherd of the executive committee of the Exposition, who had told Senator Depew of the progress made in the building of the Exposition when they had met in Europe last summer. Mr. Scatcherd had dwelt long and eloquently upon the success which had attended the organization and construction of the Exposition, and "Our Chauncey's" expectations were high. Nevertheless anticipations are not equal to realization. Looking upon the scene before him from the sight of the grand Triumphal Bridge, he saw to his right the stately proportions of the United States Government buildings, to the left, across the spacious Esplanade, the charming architectural effects of the Graphite Arts, Horticultural and Mines buildings, while the vast Machinery and Transportation building, now almost complete, was seen in the background to the left. Opposite it, across the Court of Fountains, was the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building, and the Electric Tower could be seen rising skyward in the distance at the far end of the vast court, with the towers and minarets of other buildings outlined against the horizon. As Mr. Denew took in this impressive scene the exclamation burst from his lips that the half had not been told. Later in the day the popular orator addressed an audience which filled to overflowing Buffalo's great Convention hall. In the opening lines of his speech the speaker declared: "Six weeks ago I was at the Universal Exposition at Paris. Today I went through the grounds where your Pan-American Exposition is to be held. I felt that Buffalo is going to do at least twice as well as Paris." Latin-American and Pan-American. The press of the various countries of Latin-America show a cordial interest in the Pan-American Exposition. It is recognized that their co-operation is essential to the end that the Exposition may adequately represent the progress of all the states and countries of this hemisphere. As a rule the editors of newspapers and other publications in the countries to the south of the United States display a very favorable. attitude toward the enterprise. B. B. Lopez, editor and proprietor of La Correspondencia de Porto Rico, has become so enthusiastic of the Exposition that he writes to the Press Department that he is about to come to Buffalo to see for himself the progress made in the development of the Exposition. He will be accompanied by his family. Many other editors of the Latin-American press have also announced their intention to attend the Exposition, and inquiries are pouring in from these countries regarding steamboat and railroad routes. Many editors and correspondents from Central and South American countries have already visited the Exposition grounds. Wisconsin's Building. Commissioners from Wisconsin, who have charge of the exhibits from that state at the Pan-American Exposition, have selected a site for the State building. About 20 acres have been set apart on the eastern side of the Exposition grounds for state and foreign buildings. The site chosen for the Wisconsin building is nearly opposite the large buildings of the National governments just south of one of the mirror lakes and south of the Ohio building. It will overlook the Esplanade, with its wonderful fountains and gardens, and a number of the large buildings will be in full view. The Wisconsin commission are Willard A. Van Brunt and George B. Burrows of Madison, B. E. Edwards of Lacrosse, Charles Reynolds of Sturgeon Bay and George H. Yule of Kenosha. Wisconsin will spend $25,000 on her building and exhibits at Buffalo. A $ 0,000 A. O. U. W. Building. The Anciest Order of United Workmen are planning elaborately to welcome the members of the order to Buffalo next year. The Supreme Lodge has appropriated $3,000 and the State Lodge $3,000 more to be used for the erection and furnishing of a fine headquarters building at the Pan-American Exposition. The Supreme Lodge will meet in Buffalo next year. The building is a handsome pavilion, with rooms for rest, and the upper door a great balcony, with easy chairs, for all members of the order who attend the Exposition. ago, I bought a bottle of Frank's Rheumatic Cure for $1,50, and after taking a quarter of the bottle I was entirely cured.

Cupid's Work Well Done. Cupid's work was fully well-done and culminated early Tuesday morning last, when only a few intimate friends and the intermediate families of the contracting couple gathered at the home of Mrs. M. C. Houston No. 506 Hartridge street, to witness the marriage of her daughter, Miss Florence H. Houston to Mr. Edward J. Robinson. No more auspicious tim would be selected, or a morning be more bright than that upon which the couple appeared at hymen's altar. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the folding doors were thrown open and the beautiful bride, escorted by her mother, appeared and was met in the centre of the cozy parlor by the groom. The scene was one not often viewed. The sunlight streaming through the windows, the crispness of the bright morning air, the cheerfulness of the interior and the pleasantness depicted upon the face of all, tended to lend that zest and inspiration, to the ceremony not often witnessed. This was added to by the fine fitting and very tastefully made bride's suit of white mercerized silk, accordion plaited flounces trimmed in gauze ribbon and russian lace; a sash of duchess satin enfringed over cream taffeta, and the conventional suit of the groom. The ceremony was impressively conducted by Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., and it terminated with a prayer by Rev. Jno. W. Whitaker, and the congratulations of those present. After congratulations were ended, the party repaired, to the dining room where viands that allured the appetite were served. 'The happy couple are' from two of our well known and respected families. The handsome bride is one of the teachers of the West Broad Street School, popular and well thought of by her friends. The groom teaches in the East Broad Street School, and is one of our talented young men. They will reside on East Henry street. Rev. R D.

She was one of the loyal members of the Second Baptist church, and the pastor Dr. Durham, paid a beautiful tribute of respect to her memory. He spoke of her unfaltering fidelity to her church, and of her faithfulness as a wife. The funeral occured from the church on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by Household of Ruth No.438, of which she was also a member. Besides a husband, the deceased leaves two sisters, Mrs. Julia Lyons of New Haven, Conn, and Mrs. Mary Green of this city, a brother, Mr. Paul Milledge, and other relatives to whom we extend sympathy.

He said that her man had rented it and paid $1 for it, but had not taken it. This in Miss Munshaw describes as being about forty-five years' of age, black hair and moustache, sprinkled with gray.

A serious shooting affray took place at Sopchoppy, Wakula county, Fla. late on Thursday afternoon. State Senator William C. Rouse and Edgar Nims, a farmer, fell into a dispute with Frank Walker, a pentine dealer, about a business incident. The lie was passed and cursed and blows exchanged between Walker and Rouse.

Walker recovered immediately and shot Nims through the heart, killing him instantly. The parties are all prominent white men.

A special from Tamps, Fla., says: Plant System train No, 78, killed Felippo Alferro and his grandson, Joe, Saturday morning. Both were walking on the track as the train came along, and the engineer sounded warning, and the old man became excited and pulled the boy to him and stood transfixed. The engineer made every effort to stop, but could not. Felipe was aged eighty and the boy ten years. Both were Italians. It was no fault of the engineer that they were killed. WRONG MAN LYNCHED.

A Soldier's Funeral The private theatricals arranged for one evening were postponed until after New Year's, for something, sad had happened. That morning one of Captain Gunn's men returned to the fort for an ambulance—a soldier, had been killed in the skirmish. Next day just before retreat he was buried with military honors in the pretty little cemetery just over the hill. The casket was wrapped in a large flag and borne on a caisson to its last resting place, while the band played a dead march. The procession, a long one, included the officers and men of the dead warrior's own company, and his favorite horse, which was led, with his riding boots reversed in the stirrups. His helmet rested upon the casket. At the grave a simple service was read by the chaplain, a volley of three blank tartridges was fired over the lowered casket, and, last of all, a bugler sounded that most solemn of all army calls, "taps."—Holiday Week at an Army Post, by Harriet A. Lusk, in the Woman's Home Compson. A Model Girl. A Kansas girl graduate, who deserves a place in the Hall of Fame, was given the time-worn theme, "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," and produced the following: "I do not care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in Missouri. I do not expect to set the river on fire with my future career. I am glad that I have a good, very good, education, but I am not going to misuse it by writing poetry or essays about the future woman. It will enable me to correct the grammar of any lover I have, should he speak of 'dorgs' in my presence, or say he went 'somewhere, or 'seen' a man. It will also come handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman can get for three dozen eggs of the grocery. So I do not begrudge the time I spent in acquiring it. But my ambitious do not fly so high. I just want to marry a man who can 'lick' anybody of his weight in the township, who can run an 80-acre farm and who has no female relatives, to come around and try to boss the ranch. I will agree to cook dinners for him that won't send him to an early grave, and lavish upon him a whole lot of wholesome affection, and see that his razor has not been used to cut broom wire when he wants to shave. In view of all this I do not care if I do get a little rusty on the rule of three and kindred as the years go by."
