Eastern Star Grand Chapter.

Editor Times
Thinking perhaps a sketch Of
our trip would be interesting, |
have briefly written up some Of the
most important occurrences. On
Saturday morning Oct, 10th, our
purity started for Russellyille, Ark,
Mrs. Terrence and myself from
Harrison, Mrs. L. b. Walters and
our kind and trusty driver, mr. Al
bert Thomas from Bellefonte.
Mrs. Walters and myself going rs
delegates to the meeting 81 the
Grand Chapter of the Eastern
Star. We had grand trip, the
weather was perfectly delightful,
the roads in splendid condition;
everything seemed to bid US well.
We certainly met with some as
kind hearted people on our trip as
ever inhabited American soil The
pleasure of our trip was not mar
red by single accident. On Mon
day evening about dusk we2ol led
into Russellyille but little wearied
from our trip. While eating our
supper we were informed that the
Geo. A. Danley Chapter of Rus
sellville was in session preparatory
to the meeting of the Grand Chap
ter the following morning As
soon as We could make oUF~itilets
we proceeded to the Chapter room,
made ourselves known and reeeiv-
ed "A hearty welcome. We enjoy
eel a very interesting session OF
the Geo. A. Danley Chapter and
adjourned to meet the following
morning at the opening of the
Grand Chapter of the State of Ar
kansas.
On Tuesday morning every one
seemed bright and in good spirits
and ready for bu.iness. The
Grand Chapter opened up with n
good attendance, and business pro-
gressed Systematically and rapid
ly; everything was transacted i'll n
businesslike manner, but how could
it be otherwise and have for n
Grand Matron such an intelligent
lady as Mrs. Alice Cox. The SEES
sion was both profitable and pleas
ant. At the close of the session
ON Wednesday a grand Banquet
was served by the Geo. 4. Danley
Chapter. 1t is useless for us to
undertake to describe the supper,
suffice it to say it was one of the
incest suppers we have ever had
the pleasure Of sitting down to.
The next meeting of the Grand
Chapter of Arkansas is to be held
in Harrison. 1t was with no little
degree of pride that we returned to
our Chapter bearing this good
news. We also have several of the
Grand Officers in Boone county;
Mrs. L. b. Walters Grand Associ-
ate Matron; Mr.. j. o. r. Ruble
Grand Chaplain; Mr.. Il. 0. Cliff
ford Grand Sentinel; Mrs. Fannie
M. Penn Grand Organist. Mrs.
Alice Cox was again elected, as our
Grand Worthy Nation, 6pep
whom we mayall feel prs.Aa
can never forget the kindsessJ
the Russellville people; we sh, y,
ever cherish a warm place in our
hearts for them; on the whole our
trip was a grand success mingled
with pleasure, interest, and profit
to ourselves, and we trust it will
be to our various Chapters for
whom we were delegates.

Bravery I'm Ocean Peril.

We are not without abundant and
well-auChenticated stories OF remark
able bravery in ocean perils. Mr.. w.
Clark Russell, in his late book, cites
several which may serve as exampl IS
of a virtue which the world never fails
to praise and honor. In the nara
tive of the loss of the Kent in 1926,
il was related that when it was seen
that the fire was gaining fast, and
while several hundreds of people were
rushing wildly about in search of hus,
bands, children or parents, several old
soldiers and sailors, giving up all hope,
but without making any fuss, went
and sullenly seated themselves direct.

ed with folded arms and set faces tor
the powder to catch, so that there
might be an end at once to their sui
ferings. In the case of the loss of one
of the East India Company's ships,
all the boats but one were lost, and
into that eight OF the crew jumped and
rowed away, leaving the rest on the
sinking vessel. Those who were left
shouted to the Others to return-not,
they said, to carry any of them of,
but simply to rescue two little chill.

boat; and the seamen returned, took
the infants and rowed away again.
Ten minutes later the ship went down,
and all on board persisted. When the

was thrown into the water with her
children. With one hand she chung to

head of child above water, and with
her teeth fastened to it's dress she sus.

scream, and she would have been

not her situation been noticed. In

them.

Hindu Child Marriages.

1t is essential for the honor OF a
Hindu family OF good caste, says a
writer in contemporary, that it
shodld containuo unmarried daughter
ofmature years. existence ofsuch
adaughteris not only social disgrace,
but a religious crime. When, therefore,
a female infant is born, the first idea
of her fathers mind is not one OF
pleasure, nor perhaps of very active
regsj, but simply how to find a hus-
band for her. 1t is not necessary that
she should become wife in our sense
of the word. 1t suffices that she should
be given in marriage, and go through
the ceremony of the Seven Steps, which
completes the religious rite. Aged
Brahmans ofgood family still 60 about
the country, marrying, for a pecuniary
consideration, female E.fants whom
they sometimes never see again. With
in the memory of men still living this
abonIinable practice was flourish

white haired, half blind, and decrepit,
went the round ofhis beat each spring,
going through the ceremony of mar
riage with such female infants as were
offered, and pocketing his fee, and par
haps never returned to the child's
house. So long as he lived she could
marry no other man; when he died she
became a widow for life. The Hindu
child widow is looked upon as thing
apart and accursed, bearing the penal
ty in this world for sins which she has
committed in past existence. Her
hair is cut short, or her head is shaw
ed altogether; she exchanges her pretty
childish clothes for the widows coarse
and often squalid garment; she is for
hidden to take any part IN any village
festival or family gathering; the very
sight OF her is regarded as an i'll omen.
Her natural woman's instincts are
starved into inanition by constant
fasts, sometimes prolonged to seventy
two hours. Amid thegenial and bright

They Knew When to Eat.

While several Kingston. n. Y, men
were eonversing the other night regard

said that he owned a mule ,onee that.
when blowing, recognized the sound OF
the dinner horn. 1t. could distinguish
a particular horn from all the other
horns in theneighborhood. Whenever
it heard that horn it would raise its
voice and commence to bray. Another
man said that, once upon a time, he
owned a horse on q farm. and the
horse, too, became well acquainted
withthe sound of the dinner horn,
and, in blowing corn or doing any
other work of that kind, the driver
would be forced to stop, unhitch and
take the horse to dinner, for the an
imal would refuse to pillow any longer.
No matter how well the horse worked,

running the pillow. it's course would be

horn. Now, didn't that hofset think?
and didn't he reason with himself that

Hungarian girl, when the Government,
after proclaiming the Independence
ofthe country, called all good patriots

II. NJ. Hoxie, general manager OF the
Gould Southwestern system, died at 2:30
Tuesday morning the 22d inst, at his
rooms in the Metropolitan opera house
New York City. The cause OF his death
was exhaustion consequent upon an OPP
GRAFTON performed on him at Saratoga, in
June last. by removing stones from his
bladder. He has also suffered from kid
ney disease for the last thirty-five years.
He left ST. Louis in the latter part OF
May and came to Saratoga. After consul.
tation with n physician he concluded to
have the operation peri ormed which re-
suited in his death. After the operation
Mr.. Hoxie was relieved and felt better for
a time than he had for years. He hoped
that by taking a rest he would regain his
health entirely.
In his early days Mr.. Hoxie lived at Dcs
Moines. Iowa, and for twenty years there
alter. He was United States marshal oi
Iowa in 1862, and was very efficient in
suppressing Knights oil the Golden circle.
Soon after the war he left here to accept q
position on the Union Pacific railway.
