The front portion of the Masonic Hall
or lodge room Of Hum BILE Cottage Lodge
No: 10 is undergoing extensive repairs,
which, when completed, will add much
to it's appearance. The job is in the
skllful hands OF Mr.. Jas. NJ. White.
The rear apartment, or lodge room pro-
per, has. been thoroughly overhauled,
repalnted aud refurDished, aud the por-
traits OF the numerous past w. Ms,
most OF which are faded by age, are be-
ing retouched or made over anew. This
Lodge was chartered in 1898 as "Loge
dc rHumble Chaumiere, No. 49," by the
Grand Lodge of Louisiana, which was
instituted at New Orleans in 1919.

Nominations for Judicial Offices.

We think that at this juncture IL.

nations would be made-the Offices be.
Ing non-political. Stronger and more
WtIghty reasons exist to-day for tie
adoption OF such course than existed

Will claim recognition before it-one

In the primary elections in Acadia,
as in St. Mary, the antis are charged
with the most unblushing frauds. In
Acadia the McEnery delegates claim to
be elected by over 100 majority, and in
a protest addressed to the Parish Exc
cutive Committee allege their ability
to prove the commission of stupendous
frauds. At the Rayne poll, they allege,
where only 30e persons voted, 1896 tick
cts were found in the box. At other
polls Republicans and third party men
were allowed to vote and lifelong
Democrats were denied that right, &c.

Democratic Review: The threat to
bolt the Democratic Convention pro-
| vlded it don't 20 the ants' way is all
| boSh. That sort of talk has always
been INDUCED in by the men who are
now endeavoring, as they affirm, to
save the honor Of the State" They
expect to force the fruits of victory
from the hands of their opponents and
the Lottery" " is mere pretext. They
talked that way in 1884 and in 1888 but
the racket has become stale. All the
casuistic logic under the sun can never
cloud the fact that the men who bolt
the Democratic Convention will be re-
sponsible for return Of negro rule,
and not the men who stay in the party,
Blanchard and Ford and Stubbs and
Farrar may talk and squirm but they
are only making history for themselves
No man lives with power to threaten
the proud, grand Democratic party with
destruction, and demand of it surren-
der of the right of a majority to rule it's
councils at the price of its existence.
NO pretext can excuse any such talk.
The Delta can rant as much as it NAV
desire. Parker and Wickliffe are moth
ing to the Democratic party. They are
not OF its leaders and never will be,
All that Blanchard, Ford, Stubbs and
Farrar are the Democratic party made
them. 1t has done them honor beyond
their deserts, and it will move on to
victory and the achievement of good
and honest gov ernment when they have
gone to well merited obscurity.

this city, charged by the Regents, with
the duty of expslling ex-Qneen Natalie
from Servian territory, went to the lat
ter's residence to-day, and in spite of
her earnest protests, compelled her 20
enter a carriage which was driven to-
ward the quay on the Danube,
where the royal yacht was
moored. The students turned out
in force, took hold of the horses
heads and loudly cheered the royal pris
oner. They then detached the horses
and dragged the vehicle back to the ex-
Queens residence, cheering loudly.
The Prefect assisted by force OF
gendarmes, tried in vain to regain pos
session of the eX-Queen, and several
collisions took place. 1t is evident a
serious popular disturbance may be
caused by any further action, as the
eX-Queen is not so friendlesS as some
supposed. The government had the
streets in the vicinity of Natalie's resi-
dence cordoned early in the morning,
and the public was excluded.
The cabinet assembled Immediately,
and at 0 o'clock tonight the ministers
were still in session. Intense excite
ment prevails, and during a conflict this
afternoon the troops fired upon the

wounding many others. A deputation

WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL
Makes Profitable Deal With the Balti'
more and Ohio Railroad.


BALTIMORE, May 1s.-The West Vir-
ginia Central has completed an arrange
ment with the B. & 0. and Pennsyl-
vania roads, by which important con-
nections are obtained. The West Vir-
ginia, which is developing coal fields,
has been looking for western outlet.
They tried to buy the Western Mary
land, but could not secure the property.
BY the agreement now made they obtain
a through line to PittSburg, and thence
secure connection to the lakes. Besides,
the West Virginia is building a line
from the present western terminus at
Elkins to Belington, a distance Of
eighteen miles, where it will meet the
Grafton and Greenbrier narrow gauge
road, which is controlled by the Balti
more and Ohio, and is, by agreement,
to be made a standard gauge.
At Grafton the main stem Of the Bal
tmore e Ohio goes to Fairmont and a
branch line to Morgantown. From
there the Baltimore & Ohio agrees to
build line to Uniontown, in Pennsyl-
vania, and this point reached connec-
tion is made through to Pittsburg by
both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
ard Ohio roads. This will complete the
northern connection of the West Vir-
ginia Central. To the south from Elk
ins, the present western terminus of
the West Virginia Central, the road is
to be extended in the direction OF
Lynchburg, the purpose being to con,
meet with the Warm Spring branch OF
the Chesapeake & Ohio, and thus secure
the same advantages south that are
now enjoyed North.
