 1T make no secret of acknowledging just where I learned to use the gavel," Gen. Husted went on to say. "It was in the Masonic lodge. I divulge no unre- vealed mystery of the order when say that the gavel Is nowhere so supreme as in the grand lodge. It is supremacy it. self. To 1t the delegates bend as quickly as privates in great army, as the mem- bers of every parliamentary or deliberative body should. I remember an incident in my career at Albany which is timely here. It is customary when the exigencies of business, as in the case of the election of regents of the university of the state of New York, or United States senators, to call the senate and assembly into joint ses- sion, for the lower to receive the upper house in its chamber. The courtesies and customs of these sessions demand that on the entrance of the senate the assembly | shall rise. On several occasions before I first became speaker of the assembly, I had witnessed these ceremonies. I recall ed the fact that in each case the speaker, when the senate was at the door, request ed the assembly to rise To my notion | this was exceedingly undignified and re- | fiected on the department of the assem- | bly,, who ought to know it's duty as we'll as it's presiding officer. Think how gen. tleman must feel walking into drawing room to be told that he must not spit on the floor. I resolved that if ever became speaker, and am free to confess had no doubt of it, things would be differently done During my first term joint con- vention became necessary. The looked-for opportunity was at hand. On the day fix ed and at the hour the sergeant-at-arms announced the arrival of the senate in the usual form. During the pause which fol- lowed raised my gavel and, looking calmly at the house, brought it down three l times in succession. The next moment seventy five men were on their feet, and naturally those who did not respond at once arose by inspiration. A single blow later on, when the senate was received, brought the whole assemblage to sitting posture. After adjournment all ex-speaker came to me to find out how it happened that the assembly arose without the usual request T asked the members to rise, said. 'No,' my inquisitive predecessor l said, you didn't, for not word was said.' But, added, T made the usual request with my gavel. You heard the three blows? 'Is that masonic sign 2 he ask ed, curiously. I did not say so,' was the response. The gavel at any rate had done the talking" .-...

NATHAN A. CRANE.

One by one the early settlers of Rock vile depart for their last, long home Some may not be seemingly old, but hay ing been identified with the interests o the place for many years, they are greatly missed. Last week occurred the death o1 MT. Crane. There were few here who dro not know him.
 MT. Crane, for few years past, has not enjoyed the best of health, but for several weeks previous to his death was apparent ly better than usual. On Monday of las, week he went to look over the site for the new Baptist church, and became pretty tired, for which reason he kept brett, qulet on Tuesday, though he did not com plain of illness. Wednesday morning he arose in apparently as good health as form erly, sat down to breakfast, and while ea', ing was seized with considerable pain i1 his bowels, and was so prostrated that he was helped to lounge, and afterward tC his bed. Dr. Gllnack was summoned, and to him MT. Crane stated that he had just reached up to wind a clock, and ill dolne so he felt something give away. It is sup posed that in his natural weakness tn. strain caused what is said to be perfora tion of the bowels He continued to grow worse, though no great fears were enter tained until few hours before his death which occurred about o'clock Friday morning. About o'clock on the morning of his death he remarked to his grandson Freddie Severance, "It will all be over b., 8 o'clock shall be gone"
 MT. Crane was born at Fitzwilliam, N H., 67 years ago, and soon after this the Crane family moved to Greensboro, Vt When quite young, MT. Crane received ar lujury which resulted in hip disease, anc during his school days he was carried te school, or drawn by the elder brothers As he grew older, being unable to work or farm, he commenced to learn the tailor ing trade, but disliking the business ht gave it up, and went to Montpelier to learr harness making, worked there for awhile went home and was sick for quite long

 later at Peekskill, and finally settled a Three Rivers, where he worked at carriage trimming. For some time after he car red on the harness business, during 1 which time his brother, PIE. Crane, learn ed the trade of him, and the two enter

King of Blood PnrIfiers


The PdnOlidn, Batesville, Miss, states
its opinion of the founder Of Guinn's Pho
neer Blood Remover:
We were delighted to meet our old and
valued friend "Dick" Quinn, in Batesville
on Wednesday last. Notwithstanding
the name of 'R. Quinn" is familiar to
thousands of people who nave been made
Happy and healthy by the use of ''Guinn's
Pioneer Blood Remover" to none of them
is it so familiar as is plain ''Dick Quinn
TO US. just about the time the Indians
gave up the land" we met Dick, and dur
ing a lifelong association there seems to
have been but little change In his ways
or habits. Honorable and liberal in all
things, and faithful to every trust Of
good citizen, "Dick" Quinn has pursued
his course through life doing ali the good
ne could, but never did he do any harm to
man or beast; and now, in the very
strength of his manhood, be is exerting
every energy to relieve his fellow man of
disease and suffering. He was born and has
lived philanthropist, and TO help his kind
seems to be passion with him. He origin
. ated and was Interested as Swift Il Quinn,
in 1869 IN "Guinn's Blood Renewer,"
and put on the first label on this class of
medicine, but he thought he could i'm
prove upon it, and has succeeded In put
ting al the service of the public ''Guinn's
Pioneer Blood Renewer," a medicine that
Will cure blood diseases without a doubt.
We do not write this notice as puff for
an advertisement, or for pay, but to COM
pllment man Of ability and energy, al
of which he possesses, and the last of
which he would expend in behalf of his
suffering fellow men. We are cognizant
Of some cures made by this medicine that
looked more like miracles that the effects
of medicine, and we observe the names of
physicians indorsing the medicine, with
whom we enjoyed years OF intimacy, and
we know that they mean what they say
about it. But all the Endorsements in the
world would not add any weight to any
assertion made by ''Dick" Quinn. because
he is absolutely above anything small or
uutruthfUl, and we are satisfied that he
would not misrepresent the curative pow
ers of his medicine for a gold mine. To
our newspaper friends VINO may have
business with him, we most heartily COM
mend him as true in business matters, as
we'll as in all other relations of life.

MACHINE MADE ICE.
Ground Broken for tho Gorrie Com
pany's Proposed Works.

Ground Broken for tho GOrrie Com
pany's Proposed Works.
Earth was broken yesterday morning
on the site OF the Gorrie Ice Manufacture
ing Company's proposed works at Farm
and Indian streets.
The capital stock Of the company,which
is $4,000, is held by Capt. Samuel j.
Whitesides, chief engineer OF the Savan-
nah Cotton Press Association, Mr. Joseph
b. Duckworth, President Of the Savannah
Cotton Exchange, Messrs. Brown and II.
d. Stratton, Of Columbus, Ga. Dir. STRAIT
ton IS the manufacturer of the eYaporat-
ing machine which will be used in the
new works. This gentleman owns the
works in Jacksonville, aud his machines
are widely used.
The company means business and Will
push work as rapidly as possible. The
petition to Council asking permission 10
erect buildings was OnlypresentedW ednes-
day night, and the company expects to be
ready 70 make ice by NOy.10. Tne macnin-
efy is nearly all ready now. Two build
ings viii be erected. The main one ia To
be " corrugated iron, 63 feet square and
- feet high. The boiler room Of brick,
viii be 80 feet long, l. feet wide and 10
feet high.
one machine with a capacity Of fifteen
be put in at drst, and If the demand
justifes it a second machine viii be added.
The water to be used will be obtained
rom a driven well, sufficiently deep to in
sure perfectly pure water.
The evaporation Of the water before
freezing will doubly insure perfectly pure
ice.
The ice will be frozen in cubic blocks
OF 200 pounds weight each. The blocks
VIII be 80 inches in length, and IA inches
thick.
Three pumps will used, one to supply
water to the boiler, one TO circulate the
ammonia and the third will be conden-
sing pump. The company does not pro-
pose to manufacture a large stock Office
ana store it, but 70 only keep up with the
demand, as there is considerable loss IN
melting.
The company has not announced what
price will be charged Tor its ice, but 1t
is said that ice can be made by the STRAIT
oon process for less than = Of a cent
per pound.
The company expects TO succeed, as
similar enterprises are thriving IN COlum
BUS, "a, Jacksonville, and two or three
other places in Florida, Wilmington, \ d.
c., and other places in the South.
