Two young men, who left the States
for Montana, at the same time DIR. Ba-
ker and his p arty of this city, took their
departure for the land of gold, met with
sad fate,in the early part of this month.
We find the particulars in the Hamilton,
White Pine County, Nevada Inland En-
pire, Ct May 4. 1t seems that party of
seven men from Montana, all bound for
White Pine, on the 28th of April en-
camped on q creek about twenty two
miles north of Fort Ruby. The compa-
ny consisted Of James P. Glennon,
Frank Murphy, John Mcclellan, John
Crowley, Thomas Sweeney, Samuel Fau-
cett and John Jackson. On the evening
stated John Faucet went to the creek
to procure water to cook the supper
He returned with a parcel of bulbs in
his hand, one of which he was eating,
supposing it to be from bed of pars-
nip. jackson took one of the roots and
eat it, and Crowley swallowed small
portion Of one The others tasted the
supposed nutritious esculent, but, not
liking the fas or, spit it out. In about
thirty minutes after Faucet had ceased
eating, he complained of terrible p aims
in his stomach, and soon fell into vio-
lent commissions, and died in about thir-
ty minutes from the time the pains com
menced Jackson was afterward found
in the brush dying, and soon died, The
ranchmen of the neighborhood held an
inquest The bodies were buried by q
squad of soldiers from Fort Ruby
John Jackson, was quite a young man,
not over twenty-five and native of Pc
oria, Illinois, where he leaves his moth
er, brother and sisters. Samuel Faucet

SPIRITUAL PHoroaRAPHY.-Som of
the evidence given by Mumler, in the
Spirit Photograph case, in New York,
meets fairly and squarely many Of the
points raised against him. When a pho
tographer comes up and swears, as Mr..
Silver does. that Mumler walked into his
gallery without any chance for previous
preparation, and then and there, using
bis apparatus, produced on the spot
likeness of his deceased mother, it cer~
tainly goes very far to prove the genu-
ineness of the performance And when,
too. not one, but half q dozen and m ore
intelligent men and women swear that
they have gone in unannounced and got
likenesses of mothers, brothers, and
children, whom they and their friends
can readily recognize, it requires con-
siderable credulity to believe that the
thing is an entire humbug.

Odd.FeliOwship.

Although Monday, the 18th ult., the ffteth
anniversary of American Odd Fellowship, Odd-F ell
low Lodges existed in this couNry at least twenty
as the Independent Order AT that time they were
directly indirectly an appendage to the Order in
Great Britain. A Lodge was in existence in Connec-
ticut in 1899, of which all record has been lost and
the late John Duncan, who assisted in the establish
ment of the first of the existing lodges in Baltimore
in 1919, from which the present era of American
Odd Fellow ship is dated rema rked that occasion
that he was initiated in Baltimore seventeen years
before, mar ely, in 1902.
At the meeting in 1924, in Baltimore. the Grand
Lodge of the United States represented four States,
each having its Grand Lodge. Maryland had, how
ever three subordinate lodges while the other States
had but one each. In 1925, Maryland had three sub
ordinates, Pennsylvania three, Massachusetts, two,
and New York only one, making total of nine rep
resented in the Grand Lodge. In 1926, however,
New York and Maryland had three each, Pennsylva-
pia four, and Massachusetts, two. Up to this time
the presiding officer of the State Grand Lodges, and
of the United States Grand Lodge had the same
title,viz: NJ. W. CIR. Master but the Order be-
gan increase it necessary to give the presid
ing officer of the Grand Lodge of the United States
distinct title, therefore April IS, 1926, he was
called NJ. w CIR. Sire, which is his title to-day. The
institution now steadily progressed.
Last year there were represented in the Grand
Lodge of the United States Al Grand Lodges, 3,1e.

Secretary Borie, of the Navy Depart
ment, resigned that official position on Fri
day of last week. The reason given was
the pressing nature of his private business,
which he could not longer neglect. The
President at once appointed George NJ.
Robson, of Camden. New Jersey, and At
torncy-General of the State, to fill the
place. Though the office now goes out of
Pennsylvania, We are very much disposed
to regard the change as Il good one for the
country. We do not know that Mr. Borie
is chargeable with any fault as Il public
officer, but it appears that he was hardly
as efficient and energetic as the head of one
of the government departments ought to be.
