Call for an Election of officers by
 Hiram Issued by the Grand Master
 A Grand Celebration.
 A call has been issued by John H. Swart- out, grand master of the Grand lodge of Fra } Masons in this State, to the members of Hiram lodge, ordering them to ssemble for an election of officers next Thursday evening at o'clock. The officers will be installed by the grand master immediately after their election, and thus Old Hiram will take new life and start once more under the ju1isdic- tion of the Grand lodge. There will be an- another meeting of the lodge this week fol- lowing, at which those new members which lave not already sworn allegiance to the Grand lodge will take the oath. After the completion of these details it is expected that Hiram lodge will take powerful hand in the coming Masonic centennial celebration which will te held here in July. Itis probable that this event will surpass anything of the kind ever witnessed here,

and books here," said MT. Goodwin, "TI
 show you"
 MT. Goodwin said that he was not opposed to the raising of money by the Consolidated for any improvements desired but he ob-
 jected to the issueing of stock at par which was worth 200 and on which a dividend of
 ten per cent would have to be paid. His
 plan was to issue stock with low rate of
 dividend guaranteed, or better still bonds.
 This Is contrary to the opinion of the rail-
 road commission who report that it is better to issue stock than bonds.
 s'Now I ask the committee to order the books of the Consolidated road here for ex- animation"
 Judge Harrison asked question that rath- CT wound MT. Goodwin up, viz., whether he as stoskholder, believed it to be business proposition to do as he suggested. MT. Goodwin rspleid in the affirmative. MT. Harrison suggested that he had not ! succeeded in impressing this view on the stockholders at their meetings. I'll tell you why, said MT. Goodwin, get ehoked off. When I attempted to speak at the last meeting, Mr. Watrous asked all to come forward and vote, not passing the hat, as usual in order to make more noise in walk ! ing up to vote.
 MT. Robinson, in reply to questions, said that, when the capital was increased, he did not expect it would pay ten per cent. div ! idend. But it would give people chance to invest thelr money at, say elgnG per cent, which was about three per cent better than money brought now.
 He believed that 1t could pay an eight per cent. dividend on $35, ,000, ,00O. MT. Goodwin made several intellectual ap- peals to the committee to order up the books and said he had several amendments to offer, in support of which he wanted the evidence the Consolidated's books would furnish. The committee finally decided that if MT. Goodwin had any amendments or anything more to offer, he could be allowed to do it in writing and the committee would entertain it. Attorney Robinson said that for the purposes of this hearing he would admit as true any allegations MT. Goodwin made whether true or not and MT. Goodw1n's cherished hope was again blasted.

gloves at glove counter in one of the

opposite me were two girls. They were
looking at box of long silk gloves, the
kind that are worn at fancy balls. The
girls were very prettily dressed. They
wore directoire gowns of novelty wool
and velvet sealskin jackets and pretty
seal toquss with eagle feathers.
The girl who was waiting on them went
away for something, and while she
was gone one Of the girls took a
pair of the gloves and handed them to
the other, vino Immediately slipped
them into her muff. Then she looked
around to see if any one was observing
her. She glared at me. stared at her.

was evidently frightened, but there was
really no occasion for fear. was even
