The over-production of window glass caus cd ..y the multiplying of new factories in the natural gas regions of Ohio and Indiana has brought the business into pretty bad con- dition. Glass is now being sold cheaper than many facthries can produce it, and the manufacturers, realizing that something a pool to limit production. A meeting will be held in Cincinnati for this purpose There are six window glass houses in Findlay, Ohio. all of which will send representatives to the Cincinnati meeting, but talk with them reveals the fact that they arc not very san guine of organizing a pool to limit produc- ton and establish rates, because of their being so many factories not members of the association, which, on account of getting fuel free, will go making glass at present figures regardless of any pool that may be formed.

DynamiterS in Chicago.

An attempt was. made to destroy Shutelat X Co.'S distilcry in Chicago by means of dy- namitc It was found that some person, standing on the sidewalk, had thrown upon the low roof of the building d package of dy- namite sticks tied together and attached to n fuse, which had been ignitcd. These sticks consisted of compressed dynamite, wrapped III pasteboard, and provided with Illuminating caps. The dynamite had exploded The aim of the parties evidently to hit the sky light on the roof, but the mark was missed by few feet Underneath the skylight are eight large tubs or vats of highly in- flammablc liquor. Had the dynamite sticks exploded on the skylght, the liquor would have been instantly ignitcd and a terrible explosion would have resulted, of sufficient violence to have torn down a score of build ings. As it was. the damage was compar;l lively small. The proprictors offer n reward of $25 900 for tho arrest of the person wEO threw the dynamite on the building.

A FORTUNE IN IT.
A Title to Two Hundred Acres in
 St. Louis Confirmed.

St. Louis Confirmed.
 The Supreme Court of the United States rendered an opinion affirming the decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri in case No. 40, Wm. Glasgow. Jr., Commissioner, plaintiff in error ". ohn Baker ct al. This was an action of ejectment brought by Glasgow, IS commissioner of the State of Missouri, to secure possession of what is known as the Lindell tract in St. Louis. The tract formed part of what were known as the Grand Prairie Common Fields and was for merly on the outskirts of St. Louis, but by the growth of the city has since become the heart of the residence portion of St. Louis. The property is valued at $3OO,0OO. It has been in litigation about thirty years.
 The suit sought to recover about two hun- dred acres owned by Peter Lindell, the ances- tor of the defendants. It was alleged on be- half of Glasgow that the tract in question formed part of the sixteenth section of pub- lie lands, and that it therefore belonged to the State under the law granting the State certain sections of public lands for school purposes. Lindcl asserted that he secured title in 1903, before the passage of this act, under a law granting to cultivators of the 'common field lots" the lands they might have fenced in, and that therefore the land could not be granted to the State as public school lands.
 The Supreme Court upholds Lindcll's title to the tract.

A FIERCE GALE,
It Does Much Damage Along the
 Atlantic Coast.


 Highland Lights, Mass, despatch says: Another heavy gale swept the coast. Four vessels were off the Cape when the storm came on, but it is feared that serious marine disasters have resulted. Two fishing vessels were seen under short sail driving before the wind. It is believed they have been lost, but they may have got safely into the bay.
 Chatham, Mass. despatch says the storm was accompanied by driving ram, ,whichwas forced into every corner and crevice by the high tide and considerable damage was done. The beaches are nearly submerged and the life snving station patrols could only get a short distance from the stations in either di- rection. Wreckers express fears that the moderate weather preceding the storm caught many small coasters out between Cape Eliza beth and Cape Cod, and think that some may have attempted to run over the shoals for a lee and that large number of disasters will follow in the path of this storm.

Masonic Procession

published by request)
[ saw band of brothers move,
With slow and solemn tread;
Their hearts were join'd by ties of love-
In charity were wed;
And types of lights illumin'd ray
Shone on the path they trod; 7
And in the midst, wide open lay
The Gospel of our God.
ask d a man of fourscore years,
Why after them he ran,
He said-and melted into tea1s-
They fed the poor old man
He said> Il once was sick and sad.
My limbs were racb'd with pain,
They came-they comforted and clad
The old man rose again.
[ ask'd a weeping widow, why
She follow'd these before:
She said-wiping her weeping eye:
They came unto my door
They came, when all the world beside
Had turn'd from me and fled;
They came, my wants and woes to hide
They gave my children bread"
And such, [ said, is Masonry;
Virtue and love are twins;
And that blessed grace of charity
Hides multitudes ofsins:
Freemasonry, like woman's love,
Is taught by private rules;
So deep, that should it public prove,
| 1t would be sport for fools.
