ROOSEVELT INAUGURATED Witness Magnificent Installation Ceremonies at the National Capital-Seething and Patriotic Crowds. A MONSTER PARADE Vice President Takes Oath in the Senate, Where Ceremonies Were Brief, But Impressive. A Washington special says: Under auspices in every detail perfect, and with ceremony most impressive as beats the occasion, the American people, Installed Theodore Roosevelt in the highest office the nation holds. He took the solemn and binding path of office before a vast gathering of the people he had been elected to serve. The attendant scenes were not unusual. Inaugurations from the time the east front of the capitol first became the setting for the ceremony have been much the same. Many of the central figures have officiated in like capacity on other occasions when presidents have acceded to the highest office in the gift of the American people. Chief Justice Fuller, in administering the oath, repeated a solemn function he has performed four times, this occasion his last. The decorations throughout the city were more elaborate 'anu beautiful than on the occasion of any previous presidential inauguration. Twice as many flags used this year by the inaugural commission as was ever used before, and the splendor of the scheme adopted for the city's adornment never has been surpassed. The formal ceremonies of installation began in the senate chamber with the taking of the oath by the new vice president. For two hours before that ceremony the galleries were filled with a brilliant assemblage of invited guests who watched with deep interest the arrival of the various notables, last among them the president, who, upon this occasion, occupied the position of president and president-elect, and upon the short sessions of the senate necessary to wind up the ends of business. One of the interesting features was the adoption of a resolution commendatory of the retiring president of the senate, Mr. Frye. Senator Bacon, a democrat, was called to preside, and Senator Gormen, another democrat, presented the resolution, which was unanimously adopted. A few minutes later, after the members of the house, the members of the supreme court, the ambassadors and ministers had been announced and seated, Senator Fairbanks appeared upon the arm of Senator Bacon and escorted by two republican senators, and as soon as the president and cabinet arrived the oath was administered the to the new vice president. After his address the scene of ceremonies was transferred to the great stand on the east side of the capitol, where President Roosevelt was administered the oath of office by Chief Justice Fuller. After the president's address came the great parade, which was reviewed by the president from the stand in front of the white house. In many respects this was the greatest of inauguration parades. What it may have lacked in distinctive features, it made up in size. There was not the notable array of governors of states that marked the Cleveland inauguration parades or the first McKinley inauguration. Of the military features the Annapolis middles, the West Point cadets, the Jackies from several warships and the marine corps deserve special mention. General Chaffee, the head of the army, was one of the most popular personages with the crowds. General Fred Grant, who is the image of his great father, and General Joe General Joe Wheeler were both heartily cheered. The Oath Administered. At length all was ready for the crowning ceremony. The sea of humanity was stillled. The president advanced to take the oath of office. With his hand, upon the Bible, held by the chief justice, he reverently repeated the oath, kissed the book, and Theodore Roosevelt, a soldier of the republic, became president by the votes of the people, following the unbroken line of soldier presidents which his party has installed since the close of the civil war. He then delivered his inaugural, which surprised his hearers by its brevity. As the ceremony closed he was again greeted by the roaring cheers of the immensely strong. Companied by his escort and followed by the troops and civilisn paraders, he started for the white house. Never has there been so perfect a regular army column in any previous national pageant. Cavalry, infantry, artillery, engineers, marines, seamen and, properly classed with all these, the Annapolis and West Point cadets, thrilled all beholders with this exponent of the profession of our military arm. The national guards of states, and those of the district, showed the marked improvement which the practical encampments and maneuvers, supervised by regular officers, have accomplished by the abolition of the former military picnics. "It was a great success. Great! And did you note that bunch of cowboys? Oh, they are the boys who can ride. It was all superb. It really touched me to the heart." This was the comment made by President Roosevelt, as he was leaving the reviewing stand for the white house at the conclusion of the magnificent parade. One conspicuous feature of the parade, which possibly attracted more attention and provoked more general discussion, at least in official and army and navy circles, than anything else, was the participation in the demonstration as aids to General Chaffee, of a group of cadets from West Point and midshipmen from Annapolis, nearly all of whom are descendants of army and navy officers who have won distinguished honors fighting for their country. In the presence of so many of his fellow citizens as could be crowded into the senate chamber, Charles Warren Fairbanks was at high noon inducted into the office of vice president of the United States. The ceremony was quickly followed by the final adjournment of the senate of the fifty-eighth congress, the beginning of a special session, an address by the vice president and the swearing-in office of almost a third of the membership of the senate. The installation of the new vice president was severely simple, and as brief as simple. It consisted of a promise, solemnly made, with uplifted hands and bowed head, to perform the duties of the office and to support and defend the constitution of the United States. This was the oath of office, and it was administered by Senator Frye as president pro tempore of the senate. The address of Vice President Fairbanks received careful attention, and at its conclusion he instructed the secretary of the senate to read the president's call for an extraordinary session of the senate. The reading accomplished and the senate of the twenty-ninth congress thus installed, Dr. Edward Everett Hale, the venerable chaplain of the senate, came forward to deliver the opening prayer of the first session. The organization of the senate was then completed by the swearing in of senators elected to serve for the next six years. They appeared in platoons of four in alphabetical order at the desk of the vice president, each being accompanied by his colleague. The oath was administered by Mr. Fairbanks, and in each case was immediately followed by signing the senate roll of membership. This ceremony concluded the day's session and the senate adjourned to the outside platform to witness with others the inauguration of President Roosevelt; The inaugural festivities closed at midnight with a ball that in splendor, attendance and artistic effect, fittingly ushered out a brilliant spectacular day. Thousands of handsomely gowned women, with escorts from every state in the union, and nearly every civilized country, in the grand illuminated court of the pension building, paled their social dovours to the nation's chief executive. HAMMERING RUSSIANS. Oyama's Victorious Troops Deliver Heavy Blows Against Retreating Slavs in Vicinity of Mukden. A St. Petersburg dispatch, under date of March 3, is as follows: According to the latest information from the front, the battle is now general and of the most desperate character. The losses have been exceedingly heavy, on both sides during the preliminary fighting. Although it is not officially admitted, it is regarded as certain that General Kuropatkin is directing all his efforts to the withdrawal of his army to Tie Pass. It is now practically a rear guard action, but General Kuropatkin's task of extreating himself is proving very difficult. The Japanese have not only driven in his left, but a column is already said to have crossed the Hun river east of Fushian. At the same time, the Japanese are pressing the Russian center under cover of the fire of their siege guns, and General Kuropatkin is gradually retiring before the Japanese advance. The efforts of the Japanese to turn the Russian right were unsuccessful, but it has forced back almost on a line with Mukden. Two Russian divisions were dispatched to head off the wide flanking column advancing from the Liao river toward Slimintin, about 30 miles west of Dukun, but according to the latest advises, they were too late, the Japanese having entered the town Thursday. No official figures regarding the losses are obtainable, but according to unofficial reports, the Russian losses up to Thursday night were nearly 7,000 men. General Renenkampf particularly distinguished himself during the fighting in the mountain passes southeast of Mukden. BEARS. ARE SCHEMING. Resorting to All Kinds of Subterfuges to Secure Cotton. According to a statement by President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, the "bear speculators," who are short on their contracts, are resorting to all sorts of schemes to make the holders of spot cotton turn loose their holdings. Mr. Jordan states that the bears are knowingly misrepresenting facts and urges upon all the holders of spot cotton to continue to hold what cotton they now have. Mr. Jordan says: "The bear speculators and exporters who are short on their contracts are resorting to all kinds of devices and subterfuges to shake the faith of the holders of spot cotton and weaken their determination to hold for higher prices. One of the practices now being dally pressed by the bear element is to send out telegraphic reports to one state to make it appear that farmers are freely offering their cotton for sale in another state." PICTURE ILLEGALLY USED. Man Whose "Mug." Appeared in Advertisement is Entitled to Damages. Under a decision, of the supreme court of Georgia, just rendered, the publication of a man's picture as an advertisement without his consent, and the publication of statements which he did not make, entitles him to recover damages' from the party offending. The case in question was that of one Paolo Pavesich, an artist, who brought suit for $25,000 damages against the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company and J. Q. Adams, photographer, on account of the use of his picture in an advertisement printed by the company in The Atlanta Constitution, without his consent, and because certain language was attributed to him which he states, he did not use. SIX DIE IN TRAIN CRASH: Two Specials En Route to Washington Meet in Collision. In a rear-end collision Friday between two special passenger trains from Cleveland, Ohio, on the Cleveland and Plittsburg railroad, en route to Washington, six men and one woman were killed and twenty other passengers seriously injured. LOVING CUP PRESENTED. Speaker Cannon and Representative Williams Honored in the House. Williams Honored in the House. In the final session of the house Saturday morning one legislative act was performed by the passing of a bill, but the session for the most part was devoted, to the congratulatory ceremonies usual to the close of a congress. Speaker Cannon was not only thanked by a unanimous vote or the house, but was presented with a loving cup by the members. Representative Williams, of Mississippi, the leader of the minority, was great like compliment by his proposes. TERRIFIC CONFLICT Kuropatkin's Forces are Being Literally Cut to Pieces by Furious Onslaught of 260,000 Victorious A dispatch to The Tageblatt (Berlin) from St. Petersburg says: "General Kuropatkin, in a telegram, which arrived here at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, said 260,000 Japanese had broken through the Russian left wing, and that it was cut off from the remainder of the army." At 10 o'clock came another dispatch from General Kuropatkin, which read: "The Japanese are marching on Mukden. My position is extremely dangerous." In government circles at Berlin there is a conviction that Kuropatkin has been fully beaten; that part of his army has been dispersed and that the railroad north of Mukden will probably be cut. Reports from Japanese sources claim that the Russian right flank, southwest to south of Mukden, and continuing to the railway, has been completely turned by the Japanese forces under the immediate command of General Oku. To the eastward General Kuroki is directing a vigorous attack with heavy artillery against strongly fortified Russian positions. General Kuropatkin is said to be concentrating a strong force in front of Generals Kuroki and Nogl. It still seems probable that General Kuropatkin will find it difficult to retire to Tle Pass, which appears to be a necessary move. St. Petersburg has word that affairs latterly have taken a turn for the Russian arms and the tactics of Field Marshal Oyama in sacrificing many of his soldiers in an attack on impregnable positions on the center as a mere diversion, while the greatest blows were being struck on the flanks, is criticised by Russian military officers. The critics also point to the attenuation of the Japanese line as an element of peril for Oyama and of hopes for Kuropatkin. The losses on both sides have been heavy, but estimates are lacking. The Japanese, on Friday, advanced on the Russian position at Shakhe village, but were beaten off. Twice they attacked Pout洛f Hill, but both attacks were repulsed. At Oubenepusa, a Japanese guard of over twenty battalions made thirteen attacks the night of March 3 and the morning of March 4, storming the redoubts most furiously. All these attacks were repulsed with heavy loss. The ground in front of the redoubts was strewn with Japanese corpses. The Japanese and Russian artillery are engaged in the heaviest duel of the war. Russian mortars are fired at the Shakhe bridge, and the Japanese 11-inch guns are in full play, but the Russian fortifications, on which the Russians had been working all winter; offer a fairly secure protection of their defenders. There is little news of General Kuropatkin's operations on the extreme east of the line. The Russians are holding their ground and even advancing, but it is reported that the Japanese cavalry division, with twelve quick-firing guns, is sweeping far to the eastward on a rapid turning movement. The carnage at the center and on both flanks has been enormous. The Japanese at many places simply threw away their lives beating against the Russians' powerful fortifications in attacks, which in the center apparently were intended chiefly as a demonstration to cover the driving home of General Nogl's blow. ROOSEVELT NAMES CABINET. All Renominated Except Wynne Whom Cortelyou Succeeds. A Washington dispatch says: The president departed from precedent in sending in a long list of diplomatic appointments on the first day of the senate session. It is customary that none but cabinet members are sent in that day. Most of these had been forestshadowed in previous announcement. All were remonstrated except Postmaster General Wyane, whom Cortelyon will succeed. Renewal of Labor Outbreaks Threatened in St. Petersburg — Anarchy Reigns in Moscow. A St. Petersburg dispatch of Friday says: Black clouds are again leavening over the industrial situation of Russia. The strike at Moscow has been resumed on a large scale, anarchy reigns in the Caucasus and at St. Petersburg, the measures which the government advanced to quiet discontent and restore good relations between masters and men appear to have failed, with the probability of causing the storm to break anew. The labor delegates representing the whole of the industrial population of St. Petersburg and who were elected to choose fifty members of the Schildlovski reconciliation commission, met again Thursday and reaffirmed the resolution adopted at the previous day threatened, in case the demands are not granted, not only to refuse to elect labor representatives to the commission, but to order a resumption of the general strike. These demands are for the release of imprisoned workmen and freedom from arrest; unhampered speech, full publicity of meetings of the commission and the addition of the sensorship. A practical, ultimatum was issued, calling for an immediate answer. There is little expectation that the government will grant the conditions demanded. The strike already has assumed large proportions in St. Petersburg, about 50,000 men being out. Among those who struck Thursday are the employees of the St. Petersburg shops of the Warsaw railway. The strike has not yet extended to the trainmen, but the leaders may decide to order them out in order to paralyze one of the most important railroads in Russia. DEADLY POISON IN MEDICINE. Stuff Taken by Mr. Stanford 'Heavily Charged With Strychnine. The receipt Thursday by the acting chief of police of San Francisco of a cablegram from High Sheriff Henry of Honolulu, stating that there were no less than 662 grains of strychnine in the bottle of bicarbonate of soda from which Mrs. Jane Stanford took a dose shortly before her death has aroused the whole detective force of San Francisco, and every effort is being made to discover who placed the poison in the medicine. The bottle containing the bicarbonate of soda and its death potion originally was purchased in Australia, but, according to Miss Berner, Mrs. Stanford's private secretary, and the'malid, May Hunt, the bottle was refilled in San Francisco at a local drug store. Dr. W. G. Stevens, a medical expert made this positive statement. "Six hundred and sixty-two grains of strychnine easily would kill 662 persons. The maximum dose administered is only 1:15th of a grain, while the average is 1:40th of a grain." The apparent absence of a plausible motive for such a crime baffles Mrs. Stanford's acquaintances, as well as the detectives. Revenge or animosity are not regarded as possible factors of the question, and nothing has been shown to indicate that a desire to obtain an expected inheritance could have prompted, the deed. Mrs. Stanford did not leave so large an estate as was supposed, for during her life she deeded the property she inherited from her husband to the regents of Stanford university, to be held in trust for that institution after her death. East African Cotton Crop. The cotton crop of German East Africa for 1905 is about four million pounds, according to The German East African Gazette. Government participation in the exposition to celebrate the first permanent settlement of English speaking people on the western hemisphere in the vicinity of Jamestown, Va., was provided by the house Thursday when by a vote of 192 to 91, the bill for that purpose was passed under a suspension of Operation. The amount appreciated at the time. CAN ONLY SUGGEST Czar is Willing to Concede That Much to His Subjects. CALL FOR ELECTIVE BODY Dramatic Scene in Palace When the Emperor Attached~ Signature to Document A St. Peterburg special says: In the Alexandra palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, surrounded by the ministers and a few members of the court, and with the empress at his side, Emperor Nicholas Friday afternoon affixed his signature to a rescript containing his majesty's decree to give elected representatives of the people an opportunity to express their views in the preparation of the laws of the empire. This is the autocracy's final response to the agitation in favor of participation' by the people in government, which has brought Russia in the last few months almost to the brink of revolution. Its purport must not be misunderstood. No Chance of Regime. For the present at least it involves no change in the regime of autocracy, and it means neither a constitution nor a national assembly. At the same time, it recognizes the principle of the people's right to be heard regarding laws under which they must live. The signing of the document came at the end of a dramatic scene, the climax of which was an impassioned speech by Emperor Nicholas to his ministers, in which he declared that he sought only the welfare of his subjects. "I am willing," the emperor said; "to shed my blood for the good of my people." Substance of Rescript. The rescript is directed to the minister of the interior, and says: "My desire is to attain the fulfillment of my intentions for the welfare of my people by means of the co-operation of the government with experienced forces of the community, and, continuing the work of my crowned ancestors, to retain the prestige of the Russian nation therein. I am resolved, henceforth, with the help of God, to conyne the worthiest men, possessing the confidence of the people and elected by them to participate in the elaboration and consideration of legislative measures. "In undertaking these reforms, I am convinced that local needs and experience of life well welghed and elencore speech of those elected will insure fruitfulness to legislation for the real benefit of the people. At the same time, I foresee all the complexity and difficulty presented, in the elaboration of these reforms while preserving absolutely the immutability of the fundamental laws of the empire." HIGH PRICE FOR CONVICTS. Georgia Syndicate 'Secures Four Year League of Florida Prisoners. Officials of the Georgia prison department are much interested in the fact that Dr. W. B. Hamby of Waycross, who, with W. M. Toomer, also of that city, now controls the labor of 585 Georgia convicts, is the leading member of a syndicate composed largely of Georgians, which has just secured a four-year lease upon the entire number of Florida's convicts amounting to between 1,160 and 1,200. For Florida's convicts the syndicate pays $207.70 a year each, including men, women and boys, and will also guard and care for them. This is said to be the highest price now paid for any state convicts. Georgia, under the contracts made last April, receives an average of $225.12 for each able-bodied convict, while the women, boys and invalids are kept on the state farm at the state's expense. Besides Georgia hag to guard and furnish physicians for her convicts at an expense of about, $80 a year each. "It is evident, therefore, that Florida will get about $40 a year each more for her convicts than Georgia does. Florida followed Georgia in making a new contract, as Georgia did, and both have profited well by Georgia's experience. JORDAN TO TOUR SOUTH. President of Southern Cotton Association to Make Many Speeches. President Harriet Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association, will begin at once a tour of the south, particularly of the southwestern states by the authorities of the association and the whole state. Members, we plan to make major contributions. MUON of our space this week is given up to the question that is now affecting the Odd Fellows of the state. Editorials and other matters of interest were thus crowded out. THE President has appointed Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, as Collector of Internal Revenue of the city of New York. This goes a far way toward proving to the Southern Democrats that he does not alone appoint colored men to important positions in the South. BISHOP TURNER has been giving vent to his African scheme again this week in one of the city dailies. It was announced some time ago that the good bishop had given up this scheme but on this occasion he surpassed his former ranting by saying that the Negro was better as slaves than they are now. We can not take the bishop seriously if he is quoted correctly. It is announced that Congressman Tate, a radical Democrat will be appointed as District Attorney of the Northern District of this State to succeed Mr. Angier. Following this announcement much speculation is being made about the status of the other appointments. There is no reason to become alarm; those interested are not and in the end all things will be right: THE inaugural ceremonies in Washington last week was a record-breaking affair in every respect. In point of numbers, more people witnessed it-then ever before: The weather preceding and after the day was the best ever had and in fact it was called "Roosevelt weather." The immense crowd was handled like a well trained army. The men of the noted Ninth Army and the District troops compared well with the others and eloited merited applause. Hon. Judson W. Lyens with his staff and all of the colored organizations showed up well. Space alone forbids us giving a more detailed account of this great pageant. In another column quite an exhaustive article is inserted on the Odd Fellows endowment feature. This is a matter that is causing much discussion and dissatisfaction too, in every state that has made it compulsory. In this state there are nearly two hundred lodges that are outspoken against it, over a hundred of them being sighted for suspension. These lodges are determined to suffer suspension rather than submit to a requirement that is not a part of the fundamental laws of the Order and if the officers attempt to go to the extreme these lodges have declared that they will not stand for it. It behooves the executive heads of this State and the S. O. M., to move slowly in the matter if they desire to retain the harmony and well being of the lodges in this State. The Odd Fellows is the strongest institution in this State and has among its members many able and prominent men. Its prestige must be maintained and it can only be done now by very conservative action. Lanler Dots. Mr. L. M. Mercherson, our country chairman, was in the number who attended the Presidential Inauguration March 4th. Mr. Love Walker, and Miss Nellie Carbette, were quietly married at the residence of Mr. P. N. Newkuk, on Saturday last. Rev. R. A. Armstrong, officiated. Their many friends wish them an enjoyable life on the matrimonial ses. Mr. Ohas. H. Sifawart, Mr. Perry and Hermond Collins, spent an enjoyable afternoon at the residence of Mr. G. W. Days, Sunday last. Our school is carefully taught by our efficient teacher, Miss Donay Connay. Second Baptist Church. Services at the Second Baptist church last Sunday were well attended. Rev. S. H. Smith delivered two interesting discourses. Quite an interest is being manifested in the revival meetings and several persons have been added to the church. The pastor is working earnestly to make the revival a success both financially and spiritually. Services will be conducted throughout next week. The Sunday School is now rehearsing for their Easter exercises. The music is rich and the exercises promise to be quite interesting. All are invited to attend the services. THE ENDOWMENT QUESTION. Odd-Fellows in Several States Are Alive on That Point. THOSE OPPOSING IT DENIED VOICE IN THE OFFICIAL ORGAN. In several of the States Odd-Fellows are discussing the endowment question. It is clearly to be seen that hundreds of them are not in favor of compulsory endowment, and especially the way in which the law is now applied. In this State the matter is acute and grave and over a hundred Lodges are standing out against it; those in this city are not alone against it. They are threatened with suspension. We wish to tell them all that there will never be any legal suspension and for each lodge to elect and send delegates to Columbus in August next. Wherever this law is in force disaffection is the result. So great is the feeling in Mississippi that efforts are made to deny voice in the official organs of the order to those who are against endowment. Attorney James A. Burns, of Boloxi, Miss., one of the ablest men in the order, recently wrote an article to the Journal on the question, but he was denied space. This denial is not in keeping with the true spirit of Odd Fellowship. The local lodges believing in free speech and a dissemination of thoughts along this line, secured the able article from Attorney Burns and publish the same below for the information of all concerned so as to show up the fallacy of the law creating the endowment. While the article touches in some points on the Mississippi phase, yet upon the whole reaches our case and is here presented: The recent decision of the S. G. M., in regard to the validity of the establishment of the endowment bureau has forced me to write this article to The Journal, hoping if possible to respectfully make a suggestion of errors to their final decision as to the merits of the case of the protestants. At the same time to bring to their minds, for their most careful consideration, the condition of affairs which the decision is about to force on the whomsoever it is their duty to do, the condition of affairs which it is their duty to do, into that situation into which the promoters of the plan have delved into against those of us who have fought the scheme, and are yet fighting, urged on by the thought: "Trice armed is he who hath his quarrel just, And have not yielded one inch of our vantage ground, This last expression is used with advisedness, yet we here and now purge ourselves of whatever medium of contempt and contumely it—seemingly contains. In considering this matter it does appear that the illegality of the entire proceedings has been lost sight of entirely, in the haste to recover from a series of errors which have permeated these entire proceedings, from the very incapacity of the movement up to the present time. We respectfully offer a suggestion of errors in the act of the B. C. M., or the B. M. C. for that matter, in delegating the power of determining the question of an endowment to the Grand Lodge of this state directly. Because, first, considering it a lawful exercise of power and preagostic on the part of the S. C. M., the Grand Lodge neither by delegated power, by inherent right, can enact any law, amendatory, or abrogatory, or in repeal of existing law of the latter body governing the subordinate lodges; that power is vested in the B. M. C. alone, and of itself is not delegatory. Because, secondly, the B. M. C., and certainly the S. O. M., is positively prohibited from passing any local law. And a local law in the nature of things is any law of the locality of the land, or of the locality of all others, at the same time, and to the same extent. Nor does the fact that other grand subordinate lodges may they hereafter successively adopt a law, save it from the odium of being local at the time of its incipiency, and thereby being null and void. We do not yield the point that the act creating an endowment in this State was void; under objection first, because of the incapacity of the principal; under objection second, because the act was illegal. Whether or not the B. M. C. may have passed a law declarative of the creation of the land, or of a master which states we be discussed here, but may be answered according to the general theory that it may have unless restricted by its original charter, or prohibited by the statutory law of the state of its incorporation. The fact that the vote was alleged to have been submitted to the membership of the various lodges of this state does not change the voidability of the action; for that which one can not do by reason of it being void, he can not delegate the power of doing to another nor ratify it after being done by that other. Yet the order was passed by the S. C. M., to whom might be said belongs no legislative power whatever, not the slightest by the laws of the organization. They are only judiciary in their power. Therefore another excess authority, and by that wrongful usurpation of the power the vote was decided as having been passed. We do not yield the point that neither the Grand Lodge nor the S. C. M. have the right to vote on obstructing or repealing the existing laws. The general laws declare the wrong to vote, by which the acts may be legally performed. Those lodges which had the right to vote, which the fact of their being in good standing gave them, can not be deprived of their vote directly or indirectly. They must be expelled first. And nothing save the failure to notify them of their constitutional rights in the premises. Perhaps it may have been just as well to have given them the other horn of the dilemma in permitting them to remain out of the endowment, but that's another story. We do not yield the point, to secure that valid passage of the law, it must have been voted on by the entire membership individually. In which case, many lodges now on the yea list entirely, would have presented a respectable showing of votes for the nay list. And if any otherwise passed it is not legal and blinding. Any new constitution or parts of the same, adopted by a society, is not valid as to the members not assenting thereto, if not adopted in accordance with the provisions of the existing constitution; (93 Pa. St. 479). Passing on, we come to 'the next contention, the formidable barrler, admitting for the sake of argument', the validity of every preceding step, that the grand lodge of this state, being a distinct body itself, can not force its members into another body the latter body being incorporated. Excessing the matter from the grand lodge of this state being incorporated, we lay aside the definition that its powers over its members is strictly limited to the express recitals of its charter and any attempt on its part to do so or have done by any one else that for which the express authority does not lie. In the charter is ultra vires, and will lay it liable to proceedings quo warrants and forfeiture of its charter. And on the other hand, the lack of incorporation entirely and wholly prevents an exercise of power to force its members into an incorporated body, such an act would be in violation of the land which prevents any restraint upon the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of a free man, except upon the judgment of his peers, or by the law. We do not yield the point, that the incorporation of an endowment into the membership of this state was an act ultra vires on the part of the Grand Lodge. The organization of an endowment in this state wholly changed the original features of the order, in making-new and additional obligations on the members totally impaling the original contract made with his initiation. No organization can legally so change its laws as to impalp the vested rights of its members. True, generally the laws as to impalp the vested rights of the by-laws of the organization of which he is a member, when passed by the endowment, will be bound by any law, whether passed by a majority vote or attempted to be forced upon by a superior body, if that by-lay is in derogation of the rights given him by the charter. If the by-lay and charter conflict, the former is toled by the latter, of its own inherent force, and without any further action. We do not yield the point that the act of compelling a member in order to retain his membership in the order, to join the Bureau of Endowment in violation of his vested rights. Under no circumstances can a benefit society amend its laws so as to injuriously alter the rights of pre-existing members; (in MoMich; 63 Am. St. Rep. 699, et seq.) That act of itself is neither an act of the member, which must be accepted or rejected by the member and not forced upon him noteworthy. It is in line with the creation of a new organization, by carrying the members of an unincorporated body, differing in material aspect from the old one, and increasing the liability of the member and therefore is void: (149 Mass.; 16 N. Y.; 60 Am. Dec. 665, et seq.) The fact of the matter is there has never been an endowment bureau, created in his state, in accordance with the alleged order of the S. O. M. The only thing that was ever done was to force the members of this state to join an organization which already existed, and of whose financial condition we know nothing of, and even now know nothing. Its assets were practically nothing and its liabilities mountain high. The winds had been coming upon it, and the rains' descending, until it was about to fall; for it was built upon a sandy foundation, when with a weird cry, the song of the swan, it turned its head toward the S. C. M. with a mournful shriek; "Save us Cassius, or we perish." Without thought of the rights of the brethren, we were forced to house the house, requiring a statement of its liabilities and assets, or requiring its dissolution. And a brethren, why do we one another thus? The mere statement of the deceased, mournful shriekies, together with amounts paid them, is no legal statement of the assets and liabilities of an insurance organization. Yet there are liabilities saddled upon the new members forced into that old, scheme, of which they knew nothing, but cannot plead their ignorance of being estopped therefrom by the rule of the law. And our brethren plunged us in this! Oh, truly oh, for a friend! We do not yield the point that there has been no legally organized Endowment Bureau in the state in accord, with the alleged order of the S. C. M. Further, the attempt to begin the endowment bureau, waving for the sake of argument the proceeding attempt, was altogether illegal and void. First because the grand-lodge of the state passed certain laws governing the bureau, before the constitution of the former, and those of the various subordinate lodges, were amended the endowment bureau, and secondly, had been attempted or performed it would have been null and void, because of the incipient taint which permeates the entire stream from its head to the source thereof. Third, because the grand-lodge can derive no such power for its charter, and infinitely less so when not incorporated, to make by-laws for a distinct corporation, (rr N. Y. W. Rep. 269; 47 Mich. 429), the endowment bureau being an incorporated body. The passage of the law was left to, the declaration of the Executive Committee of its state, and we have the curious spectacle of a purely ministerial body performing actual acts! Amazing sight, and yet with this awful excess of authority as plainly as the noonday sun, we see another spectacle of the S. C. M. ratifying the act. There can be no ratifying of a void act. We do not yield the point that there never was a legal polling of the votes cast for or against the establishment of an endowment bureau in this state. The proposition is here laid down that every single law passed by the Grand Lodges of the states for the government of an incorporated bureau is utterly illegal, null and void, and an unlawful and extra exercise and usurpation of authority. Incorporated bodies are by the sole act of incorporation, independent besides per se, and an unwilling acknowledge any authority over its affairs save alone the sovereign power. The second proposition is laid down here, that every single officer elected, by the grand lodge, unless such power is clearly and implicitly stated in the charter creating the endowment bureau and exercising any powers thereover is an unlawful usurpation and liable to proceedings quo warrants. He may be de facto in authority but is certainly not de jure. The third proposition is here laid down that every cent of money vested to the said facto officers, whether as emoluments, perquisites, or salary has been unlawfully the acceptors thereof have lain themselves liable to an action at law for the recovery. The Grand Lodge of the state had no right to create the laws governing the endowment bureau, and how much less have they the right to alter, amend, or obgrade! The changing of the amount assessed per capita is making of a new contract with a member nolens volens, and still lacks the legality of a 'new consideration', And yet we are brethren! Why do we one another thus? The act of the Grand Lodge compelling members to take out policies in the alleged endowment bureau during last September 1903 was an excessive exercise of authority for if the law creating the said bureau in this state could, not go into effect until the succeeding January 1904. If the efficacy and force of any law depends upon its adoption and if ultimately concerned, we authorize the query as whether or not such a law could have been enacted at the next succeeding session of the grand lodge? In this entire argument we wish it to be plainly understood that we are discussing measures, not men. We are not opposed to an endowment in this state, we desire one, but we wish a legally organized one based on a feasible and practicable plan. And neither feature is present in the present scheme now in vogue in this state. True there have been flowing words of enconium wasted on the present plan, but it was not praise from Sir Hubert, but of those who know nothing between a feasible and a non-feasible plan of insurance. Every man who knows anything of insurance based on any feature save the mortuary feature is impracticable, and defeasible, and can last only by increasing its burdens without any effect. We have no knowledge of the nature of insurance scheme based solely on the per capita assessment here, is so manifestly unfair, absurd, illogical, and illegal, that no country will tolerate its existence save America. We challenge the production of another civilize country where its existence is tolerated. The Friendly Societies Act of England provides a penalty for the working of an insurance scheme of the nature now in vogue in this state claiming it to be so plainly and patently impracticable on its face as to merits criminal prosecution. "It enforces graduated contributions or assessment dues for certain fixed benefits. That is to say the man at twenty must not be called upon to pay the same rate as the man at thirty or more, because the older man is naturally more liable to sickness or disease. This is the reason why the older man is not required to pay the w孝 of Lodges"—Brother Geo. P. Wilde, G.S. of England. The scheme in this state has been discarded by every solvent insurance society in the world, excepting a few in this country, those few being limited to fraternal organization, and are compulsory. The policy given the members has every loop-hole for the bureau to evade the payment in law, and yet members are bound to meet the payments promptly or forfeit their membership ipso facto. The statement that all the assessment of deceased brother not exceeding a thousand dollars is an invidious statement in law, and plainly given the legal right to pay a beneficiary in any amount however small. If he enforces or attempts to enforce his legal rights, the deceased brother shall be admonished in impending litigation of the ben however well and promptly he may have met his payments. For what reason was that equivocating statement incorporated in the policy? Does it not deceive the unlearned and those who are not initiated into such devious expressions? "If the number of members in the O. F. B. A, being sufficient to maintain a five hundred dollar benefits," why not make the plain statement that the O. F. B. A., shall pay the sum of five hundred dollars to the beneficiary of a financial deceased member, and not tack on that lurid expression "not exceeding the sum of one thousand dollars," to secretly and subly draw the attention from the deceased brother. Sufficiently bad policy is disallowed to the deceased brother. The followings of the scheme are guided solely by the idea of personal benefit, and too little by the desire of general good. And not few are prompted by individual gratuity without regard to principal. Can the policy of the O. F. B. A. be used as a security for any on-standing obligation? Ask any one who is familiar with the legal value of insurance policies, and you will be told that by reason of that subterfuge in the wording of the policy, it has no staple value. Our beneficiaries can be paid and the legal obligation of the organization can be cancelled on payment of fifty cents, as well as five hundred dollars. It is manifestly unfair because it does not operate on all equally. The younger members will have twice as much to pay and more, to reap the same benefit as the older ones. The older members will have based upon a per capita, to counteract the effect of the depletion caused by death of the older. If, for instance, there are only five hundred members; it would require a tax of one dollar to meet a death at the end of the first year. Leaving four hundred and ninety-nine to continue. Can it not be plainly seen that the per capita tax of the remaining 499, will have to be more than one dollar to raise the required amount? The dollar of the deceased will have to be pre rate among the survivors; and an increase in the membership only increases the liability. It is manifestly too expensive to maintain, costing nearly 40 per cent of the receipts to go as expenses. This statement is subject to correction, as the laws change with every wind, and is as apt to be too small as too large. The people who are willing to pay the tax in charge of the business, but I lay down this proposition for all its worth that an honest man with a dishonest scheme, is in bad company! I know further that the charge will be made that some one wants the position. Well, what of it? Whose inheritance is it? Did the present incumbent come by it by descent or devise? Are not all positions in the gift of the order mine by ambition as long as I perform my task with faithfulness and punctuality, and obey the laws? It costs more to run the endowment in this than than it does in any two other states. Despite the fact that illegal provisions are made in the grand lodge for the expenses and salary in the burean, read thus: "That all money accruing from the transaction of the office of secretary and treasurer, such as the fees for men, is not sufficient to pay the tax. You talk about charity covering a multitude of sins, but it can in it with that section. Besides that officer is paid a stipulated salary of nearly seventy-five dollars per month. And so afraid that the section alone would not work, it was made a repeater and doubled. Multiply the membership of this state by one dollar, for the application to be paid by the member. Does not that same officer get that too? A fine, of five dollars is placed in every lodge which permits a member forfeited in the O. F. B. A. to sit in its meeting; does not that go to the same officer? And does not the two dollars charged for each renewal in this state go to the same officer also? And does not the twenty five cents per capita tax on each member go to the same officer. And does not the five cents per copy charged for the constitution and by-laws of the bureau go to the same individual? I call these presumptions false and then added to the immeasure salary, mus not the assertion of extreme cost correctly made. These suggestions of error in the finding of the S. C. M. are respectively referred to their careful and thorough consideration, for a reversal of their decision in the premises. JAMES A. BUENS. Att'y. at law. Biloxi. Miss.

Shooting crocodilés is no sport; you sit ff the bow of a canoe, rife at‘hand, while two men paddle silently forward until you sight a dark, ollve green, log- like thing In the mud. ‘The “thing” ig not so inaminate at it looks. Per- haps you have momentary sight of a Yellowish patch, the under side of its throat, as it moves off; and then you ‘fire and paddle with all speed to where the creature was; was, I repeat, for nine times out of ten a few spots of blood to indicate you have scored, but rarely {s a crocodile killed instantly, and otherwige is not secured. No mat- ter how severely wounded, it finds its Way into the river to die and sink, or to fall prey to other crocodiles. Of about a dozen I wounded to the deatb, I secured only one, and that because I ‘was able to approach within ten yards, and, with my jead-pointed ball musb- rooming, ‘drilled the disgusting reptile through and through. ‘The Malays had a more certain was of securing the qparry. Their meant was a bamboo raft, two and a half feet square which carrieé an upright two-foot pole flying a small bit of rag. To the under side of the raft was at- tached about fifteen to twenty yards of stout line, ending in three feet of chain, a conple of feet, of wire, and a stout barbed hook, to which was made fast a live fowl and a small section of hollow bamboo to counter- balance the weight of the chain and float the bait. Sct adrift in the river, It was not long, as a rule, before*a squak and a splash announced the bait taken. Violent agitation of the raft followed upon the disappearance of the fowl; sometimes {t momentarily disappeared from view as the hooked amphibian went ahead full steam, but always, the lttle flag came bedragsled- to the surface, and after a while re- mained stationary as the crocodile stayed his progress in an effort to dis- entangle himself from the bait. But by this time the hook had taken firm hold, and ft became simply a question of putting a boy on the bank or én a cance to watch the flag on the raft. By and by dt thelr leisure the Malays would haul the crocodile ashore and murder ft—Casper Whitney, in Outing.

Snowslides are most frequent on steep mountains that have a heavy snowfall, With a billowy train of snow-dust bolling out behind and over- ‘turning or crushing almost everything ‘before they make an awful and mag- nificent spectacle. ‘Their speed is some- times so great that trees alongside are overturned by the swamping force of the air, which the slide bas violently disturbed. ; ‘There are many well-authentleated instances where miners have been caught on the surface of a slidejand by dexterous use of their skis have kept on fop of the engulfing surtace of the slide, and core out uninjured. soak Muir once rode down from the high Sierra on a snowslide. He was swished back down in a minute over a distance that had taken all day to climb. He says of this ride:°“This fight in a milky way of snowflowers was the most spiritual of my travels; and, after Hany years, the mere thought of Jt is still an exhilaration.” ‘ One day while climbing up a steep snowy slope a slide started beneath! me, and for a time I was on the sur- face of its upper edge, where the snow was abont two feet deep. Wading a torrent will give some idea of the aweep of the coasting snow. The snows dust steamed and boiled up around me; and each time I struggled to my feet thé rushing snow simply jerked my feet from beneath me. At last, smoth- ered, I was droppqd off the back end upon bare ground.—Enos A. Mills, in Harper’s Weekly. HIS LIFE A SACRIFICE. A farmer in North Carolina once drove with tivo high-mettled horses into town. Stopping in front of one of the stores, he was about to enter when bis horses took fright. He sprang in front of them; and heroically selzed the reins. Maddened by strange noises, the horses dashed down the street, the man still clinging to the bridles. Qn they rushed, until the horses, wild with frenzy, rose on thelr haunches,-and leaping updn the man al] camevwith a crash to the earth. When people arrived and rescued the bleeding body of the man, and focnd him in death’s last agony, a friend bending fenderly over him, asked, “Why did.you sacrifice your life for horses and<wagon?” He gasped with. his breath; as his spirit departed, “Go and look at the wagon.” ‘hey turned, and,there, asleep in the-straw, tay, his. little boy: As they laid, the-mangied. form, of the: hero in bis grax¢, ‘ho ‘one. gald, “The sacrifice is‘too, groatcti.s. © HIS HANDICAP. By GRACE S. RICHMOND. --- ELL, good-by, old boy!" said Tom Tormer, gently. "I'll be around again to-morrow, if you care to have me." W The big young fellow in the hospital bed stared back for a moment into the eyes of the other big young fellow who stood, looking down at him. Then he put out one hand—the left one—and evidently tried to say something in reply, which did not, however, become audible. But his friend understood. He grasped the thin left hand with his own, said cheerly: "All right; there's nothing I'd rather do," and hurried away. When he had closed the door of the men's surgical ward he gave his broad shoulders a shake, and shut his lips firmly together a moment. As he went down the corridor he was saying to himself: "Oh, that's tough tough! I don't blame the poor fellow for going blue like that. I believe he'd get well faster if he could have a bit of hope put back into him." As he reached the hospital entrance he met one of the surgeons coming in, and ventured to delay him a moment. "Would you mind telling me, Doctor Stuart," he asked, "If you think despondency has anything to do with keeping my friend Caldwell down? Kirke Caldwell, in Ward F." The nurse told me you were seeing him now and then. Is there anythin, I can do——" "Despondency has much to do with it," agreed the surgeon, promptly. "Cheer him up all you can. He's shown great courage and endurance all though this slege, but it's told on him. I suppose he thinks his ambitions are all thwarted, and that's enough to make him blue. Get him to believe there's something left for him to do in life." "Yes, that's it," mused Tom Thorpe, as he went on his way. "I've got to do something for Kirke—something positive, that will put him on his feet." He thought about it all the way to the great manufactory where he held the post of electrical engineer. It was a fine position for a young man but two years out of a technical school. Kirke Caldwell out of a held equally good position in a neighborly city. The two had been classmates, even rivals within the bounds of a sturdy friendship. Three months before, Caldwell, superintending the installation of new electrical machinery, had seen one of his workmen accidentally short-circuit a powerful current with a pair of pilers, had pulled the man away somehow, but in wrenching his hand away from the pilers, had taken the deadly current himself. He had been so burned that amputation of one hand and one foot had been necessary to save his life. The man to whose rescue he had sprung, died, and there had been weeks during which it seemed that Caldwell must follow. That danger was past for him now; he had his life, but it was a life seemingly so handcapped that it was small wonder if the splendid courage he had shown all through, had at last failed him. Alone in the world and dependent upon his own resources for a living, he felt that there was little use in trying to get well. But Tom Thorpe knew better; and after thinking about his friend's case all day, he went to his father to ask his co-operation in a plan he had formed. Tom Thorpe and his father lived together in a little flat, which was as homelike as a place with no wife and mother in it can be. "He's a magnificent fellow!" Tom declared to his father, walking the floor, his face full of eagerness. "If we could just have him here for a month, till he got enough strength, and then take him to see Wentworth, I believe the thing would be done. I don't know myself what he could do with his handicap in electrical engineering, but I believe he could be his own salvation if he got his brain working at it. You don't know what's in that boy, father. He's twice as clever as I am, and he must be made to show it." Mr. Thorpe smiled. He had his own opinion of his son's cleverness. He let Tom's modest estimate of himself pass, however, and agreed heartily that a month with themselves and a trip of a hundred and twenty miles to see a certain man in a university town might be the tonic Caldwell needed. Therefore Tom went to bed and to sleep with an easier mind. "Kirkle," said Tom Thorpe one morning, when Caldwell had been for three weeks a member of the Thorpe household, "I'm going on a little trip down to Remsen, and I've a mind to take you with me." Caldwell, sitting in a big reclining chair by the window, looked round at Tom with an expression of langgid surprise. "There's no reason in the world why you shouldn't have an outing," pursued Tom, bristly. "We're only a few blocks from the station. I can wheel you over in your chair, put you into a Pullman, send the chair in the baggage car, and take you round Remsen as easily as if I were a cash carrier in a department store. We'll have a fine time out of it." "It's good of you, Tom," said Caldwell; gratefully, "but—" "You're going, that's all," said Tom, firmly. "I know you don't want to, but you're going, just the same, and you're going how. The train leaves in forty-five minutes—just time for me, to put on your best coat and your hardest coat, and get you over to the station." SUPPLEMENT TO SAYANNAH TRI BUNE SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1906. without running down any baby carriages on the way. Here you are—and you'll want your light overcant; this April airs a little sharp." He talked on busily, giving the invalid small chance to object, although he saw clearly enough that Caldwell dreaded the very idea of the trip. Until now he had ventured outdoors only for short rides round the little park on which the house fronted, and he had chosen the hour for these when the fewest people were likely to be there. Tom could not wonder at this state of mind. He appreciated too well what it must mean to a fellow who had been a giant for physical strength to lie limply in a wheel chair, with a rug over his lap, his hat pulled over his hollow eyes, his pale face attracting the pitying gaze of every passer-by. But Tom felt strongly the need for Kirke to get used to that sort of thing, to take up life again as nearly as possible where he had left it off, and to mingle with men instead of trying to hide away from them. The beginning of the journey was accomplished with the ease Tom had prophesied, thanks to some previous planning. At the station Caldwell was brought by the most direct and least conspicuous route to the steps of the train, where Tom, assisted by a cheerful colored porter, conveyed him swiftly on board the Fullman, and established him, not in a private compartment—Tom had considered that idea and rejected it—but in a chair at the rear of the car, where he could observe everybody else and be himself unnoticed. As the train left the station, Tom was gratified to note that Kirke looked out of the window with more interest in his somber eyes than had been there in weeks. Remsen was not a long distance away, but the luncheon-hour arrived in the middle of the journey, and Tom ordered a lavish meal. Kirke, beginning languidly, was soon eating broiled bluefish and roast duck with his old-time zest. Tom, on the other side of the table, talked and joked, and brought to his friend's face a frequent smile. At Remsen, Caldwell found himself being whealed rapidly away through the wide, elm-bordered streets of the old university-town. Several generations of Thorpes had been educated there, the succession being broken when Tom had insisted on going to a more famous centre of learning. "Still, I sometimes wish I'd stayed by the family traditions," Tom declared, turning from the side street which had brought them from the station into the broad avenue which led toward the group of college buildings on the hill. "Whenever I come here I get a new respect for the place. There's a certain atmosphere in which one seems to breathe the very spirit of learning—the real thing. They've got some of the finest men here I ever knew—McIntosh, the mathematics instructor, and Bronson, in history, Wentworth, the crack-a-jack in chemistry. I want to see them all, and I hope we'll be in time to get into Wentworth's chemistry lecture. You'll enjoy it, I know; there's nobody like him. He'd make a long-heated musician throw down his score and take to the Bunsen burner and the retort." He was talking with a purpose—to keep Caldwell from refusing to go into the recitation rooms, as he feared he might gift do. But Caldwell, although he was dreading to be taken before the eyes of men of his own sort, had reached the point of understanding that Tom had a. definite purpose in all this, which he did not mean to be coward enough to defeat. So he set a grip on himself—easy enough in the old days, harder than could be believed now—and acquiesced pleasantly when Tom wheeled him down a long corridor of the Science Hall, and pausing at a certain door, whispered somewhat nervously: "You won't mind my taking you in? The door's at the back of the room, and Wentworth won't see you, anyhow." Caldwell's shaken spirit winced for an instant as he was drawn into the lecture room, and a hundred pairs of eyes looked curiously round at the unusual noise of a wheel chair bumping through the doorway. Tom was too much wrought up to steer straight. But when the boys saw the pale face in the chair—a face which still showed both strength and charm—and took note of the feeliness of the tall figure resting in heart lines against the plainly needed support, they turned away again, and only a few fellows near the door gave attention to the newcomers. These men made them welcome with friendly nods. But after the first five minutes in the room, Kirke Caldwell needed nobody to divert his thoughts from himself. Tom Thorpe, breathing a little hard from mingled exertion and anxiety, might lean back in his seat and let his friend alone. Kirke had at last forgotten everything in the world, but what he now saw before him. The lecturer's face, although tanned to a healthy color, was scarred with irregular, blanched furrows, and his eyes were hidden from sight behind black spectacles. His body was strong, magnificently built; the movement of his hands, as he talked, illustrated his words with gestures, was vigorous and full of meaning; his voice was deep and thick; his indoles were full of laughter and HOW PINS ARE MADE. HE woman who sends to the nearest small-wares shop for a paper of pins may think, if she thinks about it at all, that she is getting a toilet article which represents modern civilized life and domestic convenience as few other simple things do. In a sense she is right; yet pins are among the very oldest of human contrivances—so old that they have been found among the debris of the prehistoric European cave-dwellers, and found of a shape and size which seem startlessly modern. cess is combined, with that which inserts them in the papers. Instead of being first polished and then placed in the shallow steel boxes, they go at once from the tinning bath to a barrel-like box of bran, the bottom of which is cut into elits just big enough to pass the body of the pin, but not the head. The bran cools and polishes the pins at the same time; and constant oscillation of the barrel shakes the pins down in orderly rows, ready for the folds of paper which a jerk of the machine presses up against them. France, Germany and England are Brass wire pins were permanently introduced into England in 1540 by Catherine Howard, the Queen of Henry VIII, who brought them from France, although they were not unknown there in the previous century. As they were first made, the manufacture of a single pin involved thirteen or fourteen different operations, which were performed by hand, by as many different persons. The points were filed by hand, and the heads, made of a separate piece of fine wire, were twisted on by hand. Solid-head pins are a little more than one hundred years old. They were first made in England by Timothy Harris, in 1707. The first pins to be produced in the United States were made in Rhode Island, during the Revolution, by Jeremiah Wilkinson. A machine for producing solid-headed pins was brought out by a New Hampshire man in 1824; but the first machine for making pins such as are in use to-day was perfected in 1831 by Dr. John I. Howe, a physician in Bellevue Hospital, New York. From that time to the present, improvements in pin-making machinery have been made, until now the most modern pins complete the pin automatically in every way without the use of human hands except for the coloring and polishing. The process begins with a spool or reel of brass wire of the right size for the shank of the pin. When the machine is started, a pair of pincers seize the end of the wire and draw out a portion of it which runs between fixed steel studs, and is thereby straightened. Two clamps, or "checks," now grasp the end of the wire, and a cutter descends and cuts off enough for one pin. A small portion of the wire is left projecting from these cheeks, and from this projection the head of the pin is formed by three rapid blows of a forming die, which advance one-twentieth of an inch after each blow. The pin, now released from the clamps, drops to an inclined steel plane provided with grooves just large enough to admit the shank, but not large enough to allow the head to pass through. Held in place by these grooves, the plins slide slowly down the inclined plane until the pins begin to come in contact with a revolving cylinder underneath. This cylinder revolves on an axis parallel to the line of grooves down which the pins are crowling. The surface of it is cut into corrugations like those on the face of a file. Indeed, the cylinder is neither more nor less than a great revolving file. As it comes in contact with the pins on one side only, and as the pins are steadily moving down the groove, the two forces together give them a rotary motion, so that the revolving file gradually tapers the points evenly on all sides. By the time the pin reaches the end of the groove it has become fully pointed. The pins, which drop from the grooves into receptacles placed for them, are next cleaned from grease. In England this is accomplished by bolling them in weak beer; in this country by dipping them in an alkaline solution. They are now ready for tinsling. In a copper pan are placed alternate layers of pins and finely ground tin. Over this is poured a solution of bitartrate of potash. The application of heat produces a solution of tin which coats all the pins. pathosism; but the man himself was disabled by the absolute loss of his sight. As Caldwell, watching him, thought back for an instant to all the blind people he had ever known, it occurred to him that although they had almost invariably been of kindly disposition, bearing their hard lot with patience and resignation, never once had he seen among, them any one like this. And presently, as in the interest of the lecture itself he forgot to speculate or to compare, he became conscious that something the thought he had lost forever was returning to him—for the moment, at least—the old, keen joy in a scientific argument and demonstration, presented by a master of his subject. The lecture concluded amidst an outburst of enthusiastic applause, of the sort which means not only honest appreciation of the thing that has been done, but hearty love and admiration for the doer. The class poured hurriedly into the laboratory, where certain important tests were now to be made, supporting a new and singular theory which the lecturer had propounded. "Come down and see it, won't you?" a student urged Thorpe and Caldwell. "If you've never seen him in the lab, you ought not to miss it." "How did he lose his sight?" Caldwell asked eagerly of the young fellow, who, with a hand on Kirke's chart, was accompanying them down the sloping aisle. Tom rejoiced within himself that it was all happening so naturally. If a stranger told the story it would not look to Caldwell so much as if Tom had meant to read a moral to him. "Got hurt in a lab explosion," the boy said. "Freshman making carbon monoxid—sulphuric and oxalic acids in the generator, you know. Chump left out the safety bottle—had the burner too high—opened a window. Wentworth came in and saw him with his head over the retort—fame blowing one side in the wind—January wind. He jumped to disconnect, gave the fellow a shove side just quick enough to save him, and got that awful explosion in his own face. Alkali, you see, drawn back into the acids by the generator cooling too quick in the zero wind. No safety bottle between." Caldwell nodded, his face full of intense interest. They were at the laboratory door. The student went on in a whisper. "I saw it all. I don't like to remember how he suffered—rith the pluck of a bulldog all the time. Eyes blown full of glass as well as acid—face horribly burned. Never saw a ray of light again. Freshman wanted to die—to his credit. Wentworth made a chum of him. We'll have to hurry. He never loses a minute's time himself, or lets any one else lose it for him. This way." The next-half-hour passed. for Caldwell in a haze of delight. He was less conscious of his pleasure—although that was very great—in the somewhat remarkable experiments which were made under Professor Wentworth's direction, than in the recognition of the great and noble spirit of the man himself. Alert in every sense but one; eager as a boy to prove what he had asserted; intimately interested in the class itself, down to its individual members, with whom he showed perfect familiarity, calling upon one and another to note various steps of the work in confirmation or refutation of their personal notions concerning it—he was the genius of the place, a dominating personality, which it was an inspiration to each mind within its influence to know. "Glad you enjoyed it," said the young man who had brought them in. "We're osd proud of him here we never lose a chance to have others appreciate him. He never lets up on himself. Takes his cold tubs and his dumbbells just the same, and tramps miles with one or another of us every day. We count it a treat to go, you know." Tom Thorpe kept Coldwell until the class had nearly gone, and the professor was left with his assistants, making ready to go to the next duty. Then he wheeled his friend up to the blind-man and made a blunt introduction which came from his heart: "Professor Wentworth, this is my friend, Kirke Caldwell, an electrical engineer, who was in my class. He can't give you his right hand, because he tried to save the life of one of his men last February, and lost a hand and foot and—some other things. I want—" The strong left hand of Maurice Wentworth had found Kirke's long before Tom had struggled thus far. His face had lightened instantly at Tom's description with a peculiar tenderness of sympathy which as long as he-lived Kirke never forgot. "A handicap," he said, his fine lips smiling. "Ah, then we shall see what you are really made of. Electrical engineering—and your brains are left you. Let the other men put on the rubber gloves; it's you who can solve their problems for them." All the way home Caldwell sat staring out of the car window with eyes which took no note of the April landscape, just budding into beauty. Tom Thorpe sat and read a newspaper upside down, and hardly dared so much as glance at him. In the pale face grew and grew the thing Tom had longed to see there—courage—Youth's Companion.

The Burmese mile, which is equal to two English miles, is described, by a word meaning 'to sit', being the distance a man walks before he considers it necessary to sit down. · EDWARD WILLISTON FRENTZ. HE woman who sends to the nearest small-wares shop for a paper of plus may be the best of them. But don't mind all that she is The polishing is accomplished by placing the pins in barrels partially filled with bran or sawdust. These barrels are then made to spin on axes, and the pins are polished by the friction. The machinery by which pins are "papered" is almost as interesting as that by which they are made. It is the invention of a Connecticut map, who thereby accomplished a great saving of labor. In appearance it is a steel box twelve inches long, six inches wide and four inches deep, beneath which is a sliding rack or frame which seizes the papers and crimps them into divisions as wide as the pin is long. In operation, two children manage the machine, one feeding the pins to the box, the other the papers to the rack. The bottom of the box is composed of square steel bars, placed at such distance apart as to allow the shanks of the pins to drop through, but not the heads. The width of the bars is the same as the space which will separate the pins when they have been placed in the paper. By a racting motion these bars shake the pins down until a row is formed across the bar. The pins are now clamped in place for an instant by the bars, while a fold of the paper underneath is thrust up against them until they are pressed home to place. The neck then pushes forward a second fold of the paper, and a second row of pin is inserted, and so on until the paper is filled. An important factor is the cleaning rate. cess is combined, with that which inserts them in the papers. Instead of being first polished and then placed in the shallow steel boxes, they go at once from the tinning bath to a barrel-like box of bran, the bottom of which is cut into slits just big enough to pass the body of the pin, but not the head. The bran cools and polishes the pins at the same time; and constant oscillation of the barrel shakes the pins down in orderly rows, ready for the folds of paper which a jerk of the machine presses up against them. France, Germany and England are all large manufacturers of pins, and so is the United States. In this country forty-three factories, employing more than two thousand operatives, are engaged in the business. The principal seat of the industry is Connecticut. Some idea of the vast number of pins used may be gathered from the fact that in the year 1000—the last for which figures are obtainable—the number of pins made in the United States was sixty-eight million eight hundred, and eighty-nine-thousand two hundred and sixty gross. Youth's Companion. Hints For the Eyes. Shade the eyes from the full glare of sunlight. When the eyes are weak, sleep all that is possible. Keep soap and dust out of the eyes. Never read or use the eyes for fine work during twilight. Whenever an eye is injured, call in an experienced oculist at once. Never expose the eyes needlessly to dust or飞 particles of any kind. Have an abundance of good, steady light for any work you may have on hand. Let the light come to your eyes from one side or from above, not from in front. Do not work in a poor light, and avoid a glaring light, as it may be as bad as too little light. Do not use a flickering light for reading or sewing. Use a lamp with a large burner and use good oil. When the eyes are hot, and heavy bathe them in cold or tepid water, and do not confine them too closely to any sort of work. Whenever the eyes ache or are easily fatigued use them as little as possible, and look up frequently from the work to rest them. When reading, hold the head erect and at a distance from the light, and do not bend the head over the work any more than is possible. Avoid poorly printed books; with poor paper and poor type, and do not read when riding in cars or carriages, nor when convalescent from a protracted illness, nor when—the whole body is in a weakened state—Health. Cold Waves. Many virtues have been ascribed to cold waves; it is conceded that they have some. Their utility, however, is largely inferential, while their disadvantages are direct and effective. Severe freezes are beneficial to the extent of disintegrating soils and making available the materials that are necessary to support plant life; the heavy snow usually, an incidental feature over limited districts, gives warmth to the ground, thereby protecting some cereal crops. Professor Moore, Chief of the Weather Bureau, sustains the position that the dry-cold air intensifies vitality, making buoyant the listness, and recharging the nation, as it were, with more energy and higher incentives. To the fruit and the vegetable grower of the South the cold wave is an erratic and unwelcoming factor, cutting down profits and consuming dividends, though itself inert and non-productive. It negates energy, push and pluck. The fruit grower who, with a surplus of energy and a minimum of capital, works hard to deserve success, becomes timid, irresolute and listless if it is not attained, in a business vulnerable at all times to attacks from frosts and freezes.—Alexander J. Mitchell, of the United States Weather Bureau, in Harper's Weekly. Authorship of Ancient Literature In the earliest examples we possess of ancient literature we are not allowed even a glimpse of the individualities of their authors. The works themselves, if they had been prized because of the wilt, ingenuity, fertile fancy, brilliant conceit, or any other individual peculiarity—mental or temperamental—of the men who produced them, would not have been preserved. In some cases, as in that of the Iliad and Odyssey, the reputed authorship has been obstinately questioned. In the very earliest literature the individual was of no account in the matter of authorship; he was only the collector or editor of spontaneous and unwritten folk-song and legend, or, if he gave these their final shape, was only joint author with his race.—H. M. Alden, in Harper's Magazine. Ernsslen Rare Suicide Prussia has the race suicide question more acutely than the United States. The marriage rate is not lower, but the birth-rate has diminished almost one-half in thirty years. In Berlin the number of births per thousand of population has steadily fallen from forty-five in 1875 to twenty-eight. In all the Prussian cities there has been a decrease in the birth-rate the larger the city the greater the percentage of decrease.

The Brotherhood Union celebrated its tenth anniversary on Tuesday night last at Harris street hall. It was celebrated by a private entertainment, only the invited guests of the members being present and they numbered nearly two hundred. About 11:30 o'clock the members and guests were called to order. The officers were lined up on the south side of the hall and marched to the center, flanked by the members in a column. The officers as published some time ago were then installed by THE TRIBUNE man, who commanded the officers and members for the excellency of their institution and the good that they have accomplished. After the installation Mr. Lee Gilmore, chaplain of the Union led in a fervent prayer and all joined in a hearty song. After thanking the installing officer, the grand march was formed which wended its way to the supper table. It was a sight to behold. It was formed in an oblong square and arranged as only can be done by au adept. It contained many good things for the inner man which were enjoyed by all present. The celebration of the anniversary of the Union will be long remembered as one of much pleasure. President S. M.

This is the third meeting held since last reported. Owing to the multiplicity of business the reporter had on hand to attend to, he was not able to get the report in time. The last three sessions of the Union were both timely and profitable. The session last Tuesday far exceeded any yet held. After some preliminary reports given by the standing committee, the remainder of the time was taken up in discussing a sermon outlined by the President, Rev. F. R. Sims, as follows: "We which have believed do enter into rest and they to whom it was first preached, entered not in because of unbelief," Heb. 4:3, 6. Subject, "The difference between the Believers and the Unbelievers" I. There difference now—1 The believer accept the doctrine of the new birth. 2 The believer has a new life. 3 New purpose in life. 4 New rule of action. 5 New hopes. 6 New joys. H. Their difference hereafter—1 God has a different relation to the saint to that of a sinner. 2 The hearts devotion is Jehovah's requisition of man. 3 All believers are to dwell eternally with God. The participants in discussion were, Revs R. M. S. Taylor, J. E. Nolly, R. V. Branch, E. Lowery, J. A. Hadley, James Jackson, J. S. Jenkins, L. W. McMillan. This exercise served as an eye opener to many of the brethren, hence each one was benefitted and went away better prepared to prepare sermons and to preach.

One doctor said {t was neuralgia and indigestion. “One day I took a drive with my hus- band three miles in the-copttry and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I ‘thought sure I would dic before T got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my hus band hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, mizerycame up in my throat-and seemed to-shut my breath off entirely, then left ali in a flash and went to my heart. The doc- tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was-s0 weak Icould not sttup. > “My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice eup of hot coffee, but I said: ‘Take that back, déar, I willnever drink another cup of coffee sf you gave ime everything you ate worth, for itis just killing me’ He and the others laughed at me and said: “The idea of coffee killing anybody.” “Well I said, ‘It Is nothing else but coffee that is doing It” “In the grocery ong day my husband ‘was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he. brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good it-was but sald nothing to the hired mem and they thought they had drank coffee until we ‘aughed and told them.
