KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.

Apropos to the organization of a
Knights of Pythias at this place,
we have been requested to publish
the following principles of the Or
der:
Recognizing the universally of
human brotherhood, its organiza-
ton is designed to embrace the
world within its jurisdiction. In
tended solely and only to dissent
nate the great principles of friend
ship, charity and benevolence,
nothing of a sectarian or political
character is permitted within its
portals. federation in religion,
obedience to law, and loyalty to
government are it's cardinal princi-
pies. Misfortune, misery and
death being written in fearful char
acters on the broad face of creation
our noble order was instituted to
uplift the fallen to champion hui
mainly; to be his guide and hope;
his refuge, shelter and defense; to
soften down the asperities Of life;
to subdue party spirit, and by the
sweet and powerful attractions of
the glorious trinity friendship,
charity and benevolence, to bind in
one harmonious brotherhood men
of all classes and opinions. The
brightest jewels which it possesses
are the tears of widows and
orphans; and its imperative COM
mands are to visit the homes where
lacerated hearts are bleeding; to
assuage the suffering of a brother,
bury the dead, care for the widow
and educate the orphan; to exercise
charity towards offenders; to con-
strue words and deeds in their least
unfavorable light-granting honesty
of purpose and good intentions to
others and to protect the principles
of Knighthood unto death. Its laws
are reason and equity; it's cardinal
doctrines inspire purity of thought
and life; its intention is "Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men,"

name of Shilling & Danilson they
are about to open up an immense
stock of general merchandise and

Mr.. Danilson has been in active bust
ness in Caldwell and Ontario since
the advent of the Short Line, and
is well known to the citizens Of both
Ada and Malheur counties as an
enterprising, pushing and thorough

large acquaintance throughout the
entire country and the knowledge
gained by years of experience as
to the wants peculiar to this COM

no, only be profitable to the invest
ors but creditable to Ontario.
This is the way the Denver
Daily News speaks of Robt. E.
Strahorn, of this city. "Bob Stra-
horn was in town recently on his
way to Idaho, where he is largely
interested. Bob was a few years
ago a compositor on the News, went
as a correspondent of this paper
through the Indian campaigns when
General Miles engaged and routed
Crazy Horse, dropped his pencil
and took a carbine in the celebrated
fight on the Little Big Horn, where
he won the good opinion of the
commanding officer. Later he
took charge of the literary bureau
of the Union Pacific, where his ex-
cellent work won for him the friend
ship of the officers of that corpora
ton, doing the best and most effec-
tive work ever done in this line for
the road. Bob, however, came into
possession of a valuable townsite
and lands in Idaho, has a comfort
able bank account and in all re-
spects is prosperous as he deserves. "

KEEP YOUR PIANOS IN TUNE,
All You Have Got to Do Is to Pur
chase Growing Plant.
From the Musician.

All You Have Got to Do Is to Pur-
chase Growing Plant.
From the Musician.
This is the time of year when we are
driven nearly crazy with work." said a
tired-looking piano tuner to a reporter.
Everybody wants his piano tuned for
Christmas, and most of them forget about
it till the last moment. And besides being
The busiest season, we have been having the
most trying weather. These cold. dry
days throw pianos out of tune every
time. and besides that, the sounding
boards are beginning to split. 1t always sur
prises me what poor care most people take
of their pianos. Let a man buy an expen-
sive watch and he'll treat it as though it
were live things but people don't seem to
realize what ii delicate piece of mechanism
a good piano is. Pianos are not affected 50
much by heat or cold as they are by drv-
ness or dampness. OF course if you stick
one end of a piano up against a stove, or a
heater, or register and let the other end
come near a cold, leaky window, it'll raise
Ned with it, but most people are on to that.
The trouble is the piano is too dry.
"You know the sounding board-the life
of a piano-is forced into the case when it's
made SO tightly that it bulges up in the
center, or has belly as we call it, on the
principle of violin. The wood is supposed
to be as dry as possible, but, or course, IL COZ
tains some moisture, and gathers a lot more
on damp days and in handling. Now, when
you put piano in an overheated, dry room
all tais moisture is dried out, and the board
loses its belly and gets flabby, and finally
cracks. Even if it doesn't crack, the tone
loses its resonance and grows thin and
tinny, and the felt cloth and leather used in
the action dry up, and the whole machine
rattles, and everybody kicks.
"How can you prevent it, Easily enough.
Keep growing plant in the room, and so
long as your plant thrives your piano ought
to, or else there's something wrong with it.
Just try it, and see how much more water
you'll have TO put in the iower-pot in the
room where your piano is than in any other
room. Some people keep a large vase or
urn, with sopping-wet sponge in it, near
or under the piano, and keep it moistened
just as cigar dealer keeps his stock. They
keep this up all the time the fires are on"

Fair Flay.

Editor Morning Netcs: Appealing to
your well-known impartiality in matters
and things involving the good and welfare
of the city, as much as to your love for fair
play, beg the privilege of the use of the
columns of your highly esteemed paper, in
order that Justice may be done worthy
citizen in the race of the approaching cleo
ton for municipal honors
In his speech at the meeting of the Young
Mons Democratic Club last Friday night,
the Hon. p w. Meldrim made use of the
words in connection with Mai John
Schwarz: AN earnest and industrious
enemy is ut cork"
Mai Schwarz an enemy! OF what, or of
whom? 1t cannot be said that he is an enc
my to the Democratic party, for he has
time and again exhibited his loyalty and
devotion, sacrificing his own feelings and
aspirations for political advancement for the
sake of peace and harmony in the party.
Neither can it be said that he is an euemy
TO the city or her interests, for he has for
twelve long years given his time and energy
to the services of the community. In coun-
Gil and out of it he has devoted himself to,
and identified himself with, every move
ment for the benefit of the citys condition.
Nor can it be said that he has ever COM
bined with any clique, ring, or set Of men
to advance his private interest at the ex-
pense of the community.
Mr.. Meldrim, | feel confident, could not
have meant all the bitterness and harshness
this word enemy conveys He could not
have uttered it in doubt OF the Majors
sincerity as TO the cause of the Democratic
party, because he knows full well, perhaps
more so than others, of his true-heartedness
and attachment to the party, as he was one
of committee that waited upon him two
years ago and appealed, to him to stand by
the party and not to allow his name to bo
used as candidate against the regular
nominee. At the same hour another COM
mttee waited upon the maj or and urged him
to accept the nomination for mayor against
the regular nominee.
Look at the picture then and compare it
with the view it presents to-day. Comment
is unnecessary.
Why this fight is made against the major
is inexplicable. The opposition does not
and cannot find anything against him as a
man and citizen. His services as an alder
man aud acting mayor ought to be suffi-
Gent to refute the charge made now and
then of lack of ability 10 properly admin
lister the affairs of the city. He has amply
justified the confidence which the public
repeatedly chose to repose in him, and
filed with credit and honor every position
TO which he was elected or appointed.

THE FIREWORKS SEASON.
The Dealers Had Lively Time-The
New Years Displays.


Fireworks, like toys, have been packed
carefully away until another time. Christ
mas, that brought them, has gone, and
pyrotechnic displays are out of the regular
order now. Savannah was more noisy
during the past week than it was ever be-
fore, and in every street and square frag-
ments OF the giant pepper may be seen. In
most cases these displays involved money
and the bigger the noise on Christmas, the
larger the outlay. 1t would be idle to at
tempt to say how many hundred bundles of
paper and how many hundred pounds of
powder were destroyed in fireworks during
Christmas week. the tin horn seemed to give
place to the flare of the explosives, which
was swapping that did little else than to
change the monotony of noise. How
ever, everybody expects hurry burly dur
ing Christmas week, and if it did not come
they would be dissatisfied and probably
order another.
1--WE were taxed heavier during the past
week to supply the demand for fireworks
than ever before" said a merchant who
| made it a speciality this season. "rhere
were over $500 of fireworks sold during
last week. That is third more than was
sold in 1887. A good many families
| bought large quantities and took them home
to pop. The principal purchasers, though,
were the boys. They went into it open
handed, and spent lot of money. A good
many of them had the park extension To
displays. All the squares south of Liberty
street were thronged with children as they
enjoyed the week.
There will be demand for fireworks or
New Years day and night, but the display
| will not be large.

IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
Justice Molina Reported to Resign and
NJ. Naughtin a CANDIDATE.

JUSTICE A1OllId ItepCFL6Q 10 hSSlRn anu
NJ. Naughtin a Candidate.
NJ. F. Molina, Esq, deputy collector of
Internal revenue for this district, rendered his
resignation to Collector Crenshaw last week
and it was accepted. and T. D. Rockwell,
ESQ.,, a well-known young lawyer. has been
appointed in his place.
In accepting Mr.. Molina's resignation the
collector expressed his regrets in every
complimentary language, and said: 81 re-
greet that your decision to retire from the
revenue service is final for the reason that
you have made faithful aud efficient
officer as deputy collector, and the thanks of
which you have performed every duty as
such ofiicern Mr.. Molina has held the
office for three years, and during that time
nearly $4,000 have passed through his
hands for stamps.
The cause of Mr.. Molina's resignation is
reported to DO his proposed appointment as
deputy clerk of the superior court. That
gentleman was seen last night, but he de
clined TO say whether the report was correct
or not: that as far as he knew Mr.. Carr was
free to act as he saw proper in regard to his
appointments, and should he vacate his
present Office, the question of his successor is
one for the voters of the magisterial district
TO decide at the polls.
In connection with the prospective va
cancy in the Office of magistrate now held
by Mr.. Molina, it was rumored that ex-
Justice Mike Naughtin will be a candidate
for the position. Mr.. Naughtin was a
magistrate for eight years, and made a
most efficient officer. If Mr.. Molina should
resign Mr.. Naughtin will have a large fol-
lowing at the polls.

TO CONTEST THE WILL.
Another Side of the Smith Case Yet
to Come Out.


M. A, O'Byrne. Esq, and Mr.. E. A.
Smith returned yesterday from Mou MT
Holly. N. j. The decision in the contest
over the estate Of Congressman Smith, in
which Mr.. K. A. Smith was interested, was
announced in the MORNING NEWS yester-
day. The contest, Mr.. O'Byrne said, is a
complete victory for Mrs. Smith. The jury
was out but a few minutes, and
returned verdict sustaining the legality
of her marriage to Congressman Smith
in 1916, and declaring her the lawful widow
and as such entitled to a dover interest in
his estate.
Nearly one hundred witnesses were sub
poenaed for the trial, seventy-five of which
were for Mrs. Smith and included many
prominent people, among them one of
the judges of the supreme court of
Vermont and a large number of lead
ing professional and business men.
After the testimony Of between fifty and
sixty witnesses had been heard, the Judge
declined to hear any further testimony on
the part of the plaintiff, unless that to be
introduced by the defendant should throw
doubt upon what had already been heard.
In that case he would permit the other wit
nesSes to be introduced. Under this ruling
between twenty and thirty OF Mrs. Smiths
witnesses were not heard at all
the jury finding a verdict almost imme-
dlately upon retiring from the court. Mrs.
Smith expected to come to Savannah wi b
her son after the trial, but instead she re-
turned TO her home in Vermont.
Proceedings have been instituted in the
orphans court of New Jersey to annul the
will of Congressman Smith on the ground
OF It's improper execution and the incom-
potency of the tesJator. The will case,
however, will be held in allegiance
until the contest over the estate is finally
decided. The case has been taken to the
court of appeals of New Jersey, and will
probably be heard at the spring term. Mrs
Smiths friends and her attorneys do not
fear the result. They claim that the court
OF appeals cannot do otherwise than sustait
the judgment of the superior court, in
which the case was tried.
The total value of the estate was at the
time of Congressman Smiths death
estimated at $500,000. By the terms of his
will the entire estate was bequeathed to
nine trustees to be used in establishing and
maintaining school for young
mechanics and apprentices. The prIn-
cipal part of the estate consisted
OF Congressman Smiths interest in the II.
B. Smith Machine Company at Smithville,
N. j. The rest was the land and improve
ments in the village of Smithville
Mr.. Smith. The interest in the
machine company was personal property
Mrs. Smiths dover interest is only in the
real estate and is not over $50, 900 or $40, 900.
In the event of the will being set aside the
estate will be divided among the three
children, Mr.. A. Smith of this city, Mrs.
Ella Fuller and Mr.. Eugene Smith of
Woodstock, the widow Of course retaining
her dover interest
