IF a kerosene lamp is filed quite full
in cold room. and then is brought into
a warm one, the heat will cause the oil
to expand and overflow, and lead to the
suspicion that the lamp leaks. This
should be avoided by not filing con-
pletely, knowing this may occur

THE LATE MINE DISASTER AT
COALFIELD, VIRGINIA.

THE La TIE MINE DISASTER A
COALFIELD, VIRGINIA.
From the coal fields OF VirgiFla.
Where the du ky diamond thrives,
Where miners toll from day to day
The fearful news arrives
Ofanother great catastrophe,
Where thirty-two poor souls
Were launched into eternity,
Down, down among the Goals.
Twenty six of these were married men,
Who lost their noble lives;
God help these miners children,
And their roken-h hearted wives;
Yu, help them in this hour
Of distress and greatest grief,
By your everything power,
God grant them all relief
Few knows the awful danger
A miner III, st go through,
But to fear he is stranger;
90 mere Woru 10 you
Who will truly take an interest
In the hon st miners cause,
And try to make the very best
OF the ventilation laws
1t seems 10 me ii only f ir
That miners as rule
Should have good pay, (no bad airy,
To dig the nations fuel;
Explosions would be very few
And accidents quite rare,
Will miners' wives and children too
0fjoys would have their share.
What you want is mine inspectors
OF experience, rain and nerve,
Yes, good AMI true detectors
Who from duty never swerve;
VIM mining laws to back you
That vii see your wrongs re,lressed,
III the future there will be very few
With plenty won't he blrst,

The BANQUET.

The Masonic banquet which came of
last Saturday night was one OF the most
| select and elegant affairs of the. season.
| The party was given by the members OF
the "Chapter, it being the custom
among our whole-souled gentlemen of
Canton to invite their wives and daugh-
ters and sweet-hearts to meet them after
public installation, to spend few hours
in social convers. The Naylor bus was
ordered to transport the ladies to the pop
ular Naylor hotel and at 10 P. NJ. a joyial
crowd might have been heard, if our sober
minded people had not been asleep. 5. W..
Smith proved valuable escort and SEEM
ed to be a great attraction to the gay crowd
that welcomed each new arrival to the
roomy bus. The ladies whiled the time
away upon their arrival at the hotel, until
about midnight, by music given by Miss
Dollie Dixon and Miss Mona Miller, and
by witty conversation which is forever lost
to the world. Upon the arrival of the
Masons partners were chosen and all
marched into the supper-room, where an
elegant repass awaited them, cold fowl,
rich cakes, oranges, strawberries and ice
cream were few of the dainties. We
felt tempted to not go home till morn
ing" but was finally induced to leave the
the luxuries, which were still abundantly
displayed
Mr.. +. Keep, Mr.. Hopkins and several
other gentlemen arrived just halfa hour
too late by train but solaced themselves
by .eating supper with few more tire
some ladies who partook of second sup
per. Among the guests from abroad
were Mr.. Treat and Mr.. Boynton, from
Lennox, both prominent Masons and Of
course popular gentlemen. We can only
say long life to the fraternity and remem-
Der with sadness of the cruelty of wives in
years past who objected SO fercely to their
husbands becoming member Of that
order. In this enlightened lage woman is
proud of Masonic husband or friend and
no dark stories of cruelty are credited.
We must not omit the fine appearance
of the company. The ladies especially
were each dressed with elegance and taste,
the whole affair, which is the second in
Canton, but we are informed will not be
the last The pleasures Of the evening
will not fade in our memories before we
,re invited to join the Masons again

The tramp question was taken up and

Our Band Boys.

The instruments for the cornet band
have arrived and the boys intend to take
their first lesson Friday evening of this
week in Bedford hall, having secured the
services Of Prof Stoddard, of Ida Grove,
Iowa, teacher highly recommended in
the art of music. The professor has been
engaged for three months and will give
two lessons each week. The band boys
propose to give grand ball on the night
of July 4th, for their benefit, and DIR. A.
G. Mold, leader, says no pains or expense
will be spared to make it the best ever
given in the city. There are to be several
brass bands in attendance from abroad,
and due notice will be given in time to
prepare all for the event.

A Beautiful CITY.

1t is very gratifying to learn that Can,
ton is receiving favorable opinion from
abroad. We are permitted to make an
extract from letter received one day
last week, which is dated Colesburg,
Iowa, and directed to Mr.. VIM. NJ. Cup
petit. The writer was led to form this
opinion from the reading Of our issue OF
April, containing description Of Lincoln
county. The writer wishes to become a
resident of Canton and says: I received
that copy oft Canton ADVOCATE which
you sent me, and was very much interest
ed while readingit If that is true des-
cription OF Lincoln county, think it a
splendid county, and the same Of your
county seat, Canton, which must be a
beautiful young city, and it was the read
ing of that copy of your interesting paper
which led me to write this letter.
