Energy Lodge, No. 8. Jr. A. P. A.,
Of Lenni, Delaware Co., Pa. held their
Afteenth annual reunion in Rockdale
Hall last Friday evening. The hall
WAS never more densely crowded, for it
was known that rich program of wit
and humor was In reserve for their
benefit. The Acme Combination never
did better and received unbounded ap-
plause. OF all the performers, however,
Little Ada, the child artist in her spe-
cialties excelled. Miss Mary Evanson
the gifted soprano, in her album OF
vocal gems, waslapplauded to the echo.
The program was long one and where
all did so well it would invidious to
discriminate. The laughable farce called
"The French dancing master" closed
the program and sent every ybody away
in capital humor.

Previous to this she conveyed her pro-
perry, estimated to be worth 500, 900, to
her sister Ida, then married, under a
written agreement that she expected to
take vows with the Order of st. Sales,
but should she not SO do on entering, and
afterwards seyering her connection with
the Order, the p;o.3erty was Il be re-, ored
to her. Some months ago the testator
LETT the convent AMI announced that she
hal withdrawn from the Order, Her
sister, suspecting the sincerity Of her act,
demurred to giving back the property,

CHICAGO, August 2s. -Something of a

freight pool, authorizing a reduction in
the rate on cattle to ~ cents per hundred,
the former rate being 80 cents, and on
dressed beef to 80 cents, the former rate
being As cents. The cause assigned is
that some lines in the pool have been cut

the offenders a lesson. Complaints IF
cutting on the grain and hog product are
also frequent.

entrance to the river leading up to tn,
city is marked by bold peaks and high
| .nds
The walls Of the city are about thirt,
ftet high and twelve wide at the top. TIL,
gates, seven in number, are overlooked b
high towers smaller guard houses stand
upon the walls at short intervals, in which
Il few soldiers lodge and where two OIL
three nno indicate their object. TIL
cty is divided into wards and neiShbcr-
hoods, each Of which is under its owi
police and head men, who are responsible
for the peace in their respective districts.
From the Wa-shiu shan, an eminence OF
the north side Of the city, the view is ex-
tensiye. The square battlements of tie
wall are seen extending in a devious an
irregular circuit for more than eight miles
and enclosing most of the buildings excep,
on the south. On the southeast a bill
rises abruptly more than two hundred
feet. its ridge built up with interpreted
dwellings, and another ON the extreme
north of the city, surrounding a watch
tower, closes the prospect in that direc-
ton.
Serpentine canals divide the country
round about into plats of greater or les.
extent, ofevery form and hue. while they
help to drain the city and provide chan
nels for boats coming from the river.
These parts Of the landscape are dotted
with hamlets and cottages and, where the
ground is higher. with graves and
tombstones. On the western side
of tho city is u sheet Of
water called ST Hu, or West lake, with a
series of u%npretending buildings and
temples lying along its margin, n bridge
crossing its expanse and fishing nets and
boats floating uron its bosom. The watch
tower on the hill in the northern part OF
the city is upon the wall, which here runs
near the p~reeipice 200 feet high; it is a
most conspicuous object when approach
ing the place.
kelung is a port at the northeast end
Of the Island of Formosa, twenty-three
miles east of Tamsul, with which place
the trade of Kelung is included, Tamsul
being the Consular residence. The only
coal mining of importance in the Chinese
Empire is carried on near Kelung, and
the export of this commodity forms a
considerable portion of the trade of the
port. France has no coaling station in
the far East except at Saigon, on the
southeastern coast of AMMAN. and Ad-
miral Lespes' s~eizing of Kelung was
therefore more as a strategic point in case
of war with China than to force a speedy
payment of the indemnify demanded.
