A FANCIFUL SKETCH,
The well-known comedian William j.
Florence. who is also noted wit and prac-
tical joker, claims to be the father" OF
the shrine in America, as the following
article, which appeared in The CALL at
date of SATURDAY.. March 16, 1889, will show:
ut is true" admitted Mr.. Florence, that
/ am the father of the Order of the Mystic
Shrine in this country. The order dates
from the time of Mohammed, six centuries
after Christ. The Sultan of Turkey is now
at the head Of the order, and the preeepts
of the order are from the Koran, and are
to-day the unWritten laws OF the Moham-
medan tribes. Viii lie travelling through
Southern France in 1870 | met at Marseilles
an old friend in the person OF useI Cneere,
the famous and recently deceased oriental
ist Cheere was by birth syrian, porn az
Mount Lebanon, who had gained his nrst
acquaintance with the Europeans at the
English Consulate at Beyrout, and was
high official in the Order of the Mystic
Shrine, which he explained. went with
Cheere to Cairo. and there, in an Egyptian
temple of the order, surrounded by dusky
Orientals, the only white man in the solemn
conclave, l received the rites which made
me member of the order, | then had the
ceremonies and other formula translated
from Arabic into French and then into
English and upon my return to this coun-
try the same year, explained the order TO
DR.. Walter Fleming, who soon afterward
established the Mecca Temple in New York
CITY, the first lodge of the Mystic Shrine in
America. One of the prerequisites to men,
bership is that the applicant must be a
thirty-second degree Mason or Knight
Templar, which constitutes its only connec-
ton with Masonry. There are now about
fifty TEMPLES OF the order in the United
States. [ have, as a gift from the Sultan
the head of the nrder-the decoration of
Osmai-a green sash with narrow strip of
red down each outer edge and seven
pointed star of silver. with the Sultan's own
signature engraved on gold plate in the
center"

How 1t Appears to an Independent
NeWSDaOer.

Mrs. Foster is a Prohibitionist and a
Republican. She and many thousands Of
saloonkeepers are working for the same
party. The saloonkeepers are more nu-
merous than she is. They cast more votes
than she does. They are more unscrupu-
lous in their political methods thau She
is. Therefore the influence which they
have over the Republican party is far
greater than is Mrs. Fosters. Her party
as it is now organized cannot possibly
win an election without the aid of the sa-
loonkeepers. Does Mrs. Foster
to drive them all out of her party3 That
is a big undertaking. The plan of Mrs.
Fosters opponents in the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union certainly looks
more feasible. They believe in building
up a party which contains no saloon
keepers. They do not want to drive any
body out. They prefer 10 go out them
selves and to invite every person of their
way of thinking to join them. If Mrs.
Foster will look around in her own party
she will observe that her fellow Repub-
licans are offering big inducements to the
saloonkeepers to stay. Mrs. Foster can
not offer them bigger ones to go.-CAi-

Remedy for Insomnia.

The abuse OF the eye is the crime of
the age, says a medical writer. I am
prepared to demonstrate that at least
nine-tenths of the prevailing sleepless-
ness of which we hear so much is due
to nervousness directly traceable to
the optic nerve. We are wearing our
eyes out over books and desks and
types, and the effect shows itself not
only in the appearance Of the organ
itself, but in its retroactive effect on
nerve and brain. / have discovered a
remedy for sleeplessness, and for the
reaso 1 have never known it to fail I
am fortified in my opinion that the
whole trouble arises from the over
strain Of the eyes. Take a soft cloth
say a piece of mapped towel-and fold
in it two small pieces of ice at a dis
tance apart to exactly cover the eyes
when the cloth is laid across them.
Then lie down, adjust the cloth with
the ice over the closed eyes, and you
will be asleep in a very short while.

Worse than Low License.

Rev. E. a. Redburn, of Lynn, Mass,
writes Sc follows:
This is a high license city. I.have
lived here two years, and [ can truthfully
say I i never saw SO much drunkenness as
there is here ct the present time. 1t is
worse than low license. The streets are
filled with drunken men from early morn
ing till late at night. Only disorderly
ones are arrested. I have seen a man
lying drunk on one of the principal streets
three hours without molestation. Large
numbers are taken homo by the police.
We're they to arrest every person under
the influence of liquor the police station
would not contain them. Prostitution is
rampant, crime on the increase (yet only
one saloon to ], 200 inhabitants), and this
is q solid Republican State"
