An Old Mason.

The Logan, Ohio, correspondent
of the Columbus Journal, under date
of November 25th, relates the follow.
ing:
On yesterday the Rev. John Viii.
son, of the M. E. Church, was buried
near Bloomingville, in this county
by the Masonic Order. The deceas.
ed was eighty odd years of age; born
in New York, joined the Masonic Or
der when young, and became a Meth
odist minister about the same time.
Charges of unchristian conduct were
preferred against him. Specifica.
ton, in this: He was Mason. He
was brought to trial in 1909, in the
Northern New York Conference
He admitted that he was q Mason
The Conference.required him to re,
nounce Masonry. He refused, and
by nearly q unanimous vote he vas
expelled from the Conference. In q
short time thereafter he left for the
West, and many years since settled
In Bloomingville, in this county
where he was finally licensed as To-
cal preacher of the M. E. Church, in
which position he continued to Off
ciate until his death. He died Ma.
son, and was buried by Swan Lodge, in
the presence of a large concourse OF
people. / am not able to say how
long he was a member of the Order
but it must have been over sixty
years.

White House Morals.

Not satisfied with giving his in
amorata Cobb q commission to do a
pardon brokerage businesss, the
President issued orders. to make her
and her "man" Federal Office, holders.
Here is the testimony of COL. Baker
to substantiate the statement:
"Mrs. Lucy L. Cobb, Of Washing
ton City, showed me two letters, one
evening, when she was brought to
my headquarters, April 8, 1866. Hav-
ing criticised her severely, saying
that a woman of her character had no
business to be round the White
House, she claimed that she had q
right to be there, and that it was with
the knowledge and approval Of the
President, and 10 satisfy me showed
me two letters-one written by Mr.
Johnson to the Postmaster General,
asking him to give her husband. Mr.
Cobb, a situation in the Postoffict
Department, and another written to
Mr.. McCulloch, asking him to give
her a situation in the Treasury De
partment.
"She went on to state that the
President, on one or two occasions
made advances, asking her to hi!
lprivate room at the Kirkwood House
while he was President. She stayed
in his room one night all night, anC
lon another occasion until two o'clocl
on the morning. believe Mrs. Cobl
to be . disreputable woman, or. in
Iother words, q woman of the town.

A Suggestion for Theatrical Mama
gers.

A suggestion for Theatrlcal Mana
gers.
A correspondent from Washington,
D. c., who chooses to be satirical,
recommends an addition to our sem
sational and spectacular drama in the
form of a boiler explosion. He says:
"Let the boiler be of the most i'm
proved kind, OF about one hundred
horse power, with a water capacity
of about a--pint, supplied with all the
modern automatic appliances which
never require any attention from the
engineer; such as water indicators
where you never see the water; spring
pressure guages which indicate ten
pounds when the pressure is one hun
dred; guage cocks either choked or
stuck so tight that the engineer con
slders it too much trouble to attempt
to try the water by that means; the
engineer, who has been either shoe
maker or tailor, sitting in swing
suspended from the safety valve lev
er waiting for the low water detector,
which has an infusible plug, to give
the alarm, which it does by tremen-
dous report, scattering fragments of
the boiler, human bodies, houses,
ETC., in every direction; the whole 10
conclude with coroner's inquest
composed of the same material as
the engineer, with the learned profess
sors reading long essays on the mys-
terious causes (2) of boiler explo-
sions. Introduced in the drama, the
effect would be graphic"

White ants have proved SO destruc-
tive to the wooden sleepers of East
India RAILWAYS that government some
time since offered a reward of ESQ
for the discovery of any means for
putting an effectual stop upon their
ravages. 1t would naturally be ex-
pected that the jarring of the sleepers
whenever trains passed them, would
of itself drive them from the wood,
but the contrary 10 the case. The
timbers have been boiled in poisonous
liquids, and have. been coal -tarred,
but neither operation had the desired
effect. In response to the govern
ment offer, many plans were present
ed but the successful competitor has
recommended steak oil" 1t has
been shown that timber coated with
this specific, remained untouched
after lying for long time even in
the very nests of the white ants.

The returns from the election in
the South eastern States come in slow
ly. In Florida, registration returns
from the. entire State-one county ex-
cepted-foot up as follows: White
voters, 10,804; colored. 1924. In
all the counties of the State but six,
1884 persons voted for, and so
against, a convention. A majority of
all the registered voters is required
to secure the holding of convention,
and this has been secured, with some
hundred votes to spare. The num-
Der of delegates composing the Con-
vention is As, of whom 27 are white,
and Is colored. In South Carolina,
the majority for holding the Conven.
is very small. There are III, $3.50
registered voters in the State, OF
whom 80,7l4 are black, and 1856
whites. The vote in favor of the
Convention, as far as received, stands:
Black, SO, Ill; whites, 1,167 Against
a Convention: Whites, 1,471; blacks,
9. In forty-six of the eighty-nine
counties of North Carolina 1891
votes were cast for, and IL ,096 against
Convention.

A Perpetual Weather Table.

The following table was construct
ed by the celebrated DIR. Herschell,
upon philosophic consideration OF
the attraction of the sun and moon.
1t is confirmed by the experience of
many years observation, and will
suggest to the observer what kind of
weather will probably follow the
moons entrance into any of her quar-
ters. AS a general rule it will be
found wonderfully correct:
II the moon changes at IL o'clock
noon, the weather Immediately after
will be very rainy, if in summer. and
there will be snow and rain in win
ter.
If between 2 and 4 o'clock P. M; ;

fair in both summer and winter.

December,
Sneak low: the old

Speak low; the old ear fails,
And daily totters on his yielding throne,
A few brief days shall pass ere sceptered
hand.
And crown, and all the signs of royal power
Shall change to mark the newborn ruling
king.
December closes in the annual train,
And ends the cycle of the dying year.
A solemn stiffness fills the air and earth,
Like southern skies ere bursts the raging
stohm,
Or brooding silence, deep, which ushers in
The earthquake shock. and .numbs the pulse
oflife.
So, silent dies the aged year, and leaves
A roble heritage of coming days
To fill the youthful nonarch's chalice up.
Farewell the old /; let fruitless bygones die,
PREPARE with smiles to welcome in the new,
And crave benison on our future days.

The United States Court in Brook
lyn, Wednesday, sentenced a whisky
swindler to the penitentiary for thir-
teen months. In st. Louis, atobacco
swindler had his stock, fixtures and
establishment forfeited. The courts
will enforce the revenue law, if Off
cials will do their duty. The Brook
lyn decision, particularly, means bus
mess. That's the way to collect the
whisky tax.
The advantage of introducing i'm
proved or labor saving machinery is
conclusively, shown by this fact in the
boot and shoe manufacture in this
country. In 1860. 12s,020 persons
produced 20 per cent. more that I00,-
