beneficiary certificates.
Omaha lodge No. Is will give its regular
monthly entertainment On the 18th inst The
same committee which provided the last en-
tertainmCnt has charge of the next one and a
delightful programme Is assured.
The Select knights of Illinois, at the last
meeting of the grand Commandery seeded
from the order and have established them
selves under the name of Select Knights of
America. The supreme commander of the
"loyal' Select Knights was present at the
meeting al which this action was taken but
offered no Objection. Since that time the
Illinois legious have been making capital out
of the fact that the supreme commander of
the Select knights Is member in good
standing of one of the seeding legiOns. As
a result of this state of affairs the supreme
vicc-commander and the other officers of the
supreme legion have united in asking the
supreme commander to resign his position, tC
which he has proved dislOyal.
North Omaha lodge will give an entertain
mcnt in Goodrich hail on the Both ins I.

The peculiar freaks of Pennsylvania ma
sonry are illustrated in recent decision of
the grand master that will pass into history
as n Masonic curiosity. Some months ago it
was discovered that in transferring the
names from the subordinate lodge to the sec
retary of the grand lodge the secretary of
the subordinate lodge had omitted the initial
of the middle name of one of the members.
The grand master ruled that the member,
whose middle initial had been dropped, was
not legally a Mason, and ordered that his
money be refunded. The brother who was
declared not a brother by the worshlpful
grand master then made formal application
second time. The committee reported favor
ably and a few weeks ago the brother was
raised to the sublime degree of Master Ma
son second time. The brother enjoys the
distinction of being the only man in America

by Prof. j, Asher Parks, of the Lincoln con-
servatory of music. The scene of the opera
is LAID at Newport ana from the rise to the

abounding in artistic situations, and ringing
with airs of the kind that are predeStined to
become popular, Some of the characters are
remarkably strong and contain rare possibili-
ties for the genius of professionals. The rem

laudable, and the air of amateurism usually
SO dsagrceuble in homo performances, was
conspicuous by its absence Prof. Parks will

CHAMPION STRONG MAN.
Louis Cyr Astonishes a London Audience
by Lifting 2,619 Pounds.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-An enormous
crowd gathered at the South London
Palace last night in or1er to witness
the attempt of the famous strong man,
Leuis Cyr to break the weight lifting
record Of the world. Cyr was backed
up by Mr.. Richard K. Fox, the pro-
prietor and editor of the New York
Police Gazette who offered s1,000 to
any man who would do the feats that
Cyr was aboutto perform.
The modern Goliath lifted 104
pound dumb bell above bis shoulder
with his right hand. Then be lifted
one weighing 242 pounds in the same
way with both hands. His third feat
consisted in elevating barrel contain
ing go pounds of cement with his left
hand and, aided by his thigh, he raised
it to his chest and then on to his shoul-
der. This evoked tremendous degree
of excitement and drew forth cheer
after cheer FROM the delighted specta-
tors.
Finally, putting on harness to which
frame was attached, he lifted weight
of 2,6l9 pounds, at which everybody
became still more excited, and as con-
tagioIs was this. feeling that even Sam
sou, rival strong man, became imbued
with it. He, however, declared that
Cyr's right hand lifting wss not the
same as Sandow's, as the former bent
his arm.
Upon this. without a moments delay,
Mr.. Fox offered Samson s1O0 to rival
either feat, but that worthy declined
/ the offer, saying he was obliged to go
| away. And he went, accompanied by
jeers, Kisses and ironical cheers of the
| audience, which was convinced that
| Cyr is beyond doubt the champion
strong man Of the world.

FARMERS ALLIANCE NOT DEAD.
Ex-senator Van Wyck Says Its Influence
VIII be Felt Next Year.

WASHINGTON, November LEX
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, who
has cut loose from tie Republican par
ty and is an independent member Of
the Farmers Alliance is in this city.
"The political situation," he said, "is
an enigma to everyone. 1t is impossi-
Lle to predict the future. Some folks
are saying that the Alliance has gone
all to pieces. That is not SO, and they
will find it out next year. | Go not
know Just what the Alliance will do,
but they will do something to make
themselves felt in the election of 1892
"There was falling off of the Alli-
ance vote this fall and it was due
largely to the fact that there were a
large number Of people who voted
with them before with the expectation
of immediate results. Like the chill
dren Of Israel, they were after the flesh
pots. They did not realize that the
work they had undertaken was not the
work of day. AS soon as they had
won their first victory they thought
they were in sight of the promised land
and wanted to enter at once. Those
persons are suffering momentarily the
effects of disappointment, but the great
working body of the Alliance is all
right, and the organization will be felt
at the next election.
"Whether or not they will have 9
presidential candidate in the field
cannot say, but they will certainly be
powerful in some of the states"

and yet I was under the ban. I could
not help recalling the story I once
heard told of Daniel Webster, who had
a deep-rooted aversion to the decollette.
A lady who was very Stylish" and
who always appeared, wherever she
could consistently do so, in very low
necked bodice and short sleeves, once
appealed to Mr.. Webster for help in
some suffrage scheme for women. The
distinguished lawyer treated her with
such scant civility that she asked a
friend-a gentleman-to try and find
out what was the matter.
"Enough's the NATTER" said Mr..
Webster, when woman who hasn't

comes whimpering to me about the
ballot for her sex, Mrs.-was

make himself liable TO impeachment,
and he had no doubt the representa-
tives of the people would impeach
him.
Judges are prohi; tied, he said, from
interft g by Section 269 of the Gen
eral statutes, which says, "And no
writ of mandamus shall be granted or
issued from any court or 10y the judge
of any court directing or compelling
the reception for taxes of any funds !"
and no writ, order, or process of any
kind whatsoever, staying or preventing
any officer of the State, charged with a
duty in the collection of taxes, from
taking any step or proceeding in the
collection of any tax, whether such tax
is legally due or not, shall in any case
be granted by any court or the judge of
any court, ETC."
The only remedy, the comptroller
says, he has is in section 26S, which
provides for the payment of taxes to
the treasurer aud permits the taxpayer
afterwards to bring suit in the court,
leaving there the determination of the
question as to whether the assessment
is Illegal or not.
He says that in the present case,
after the auditor had originally in
creased the return, the assessment was
$4,000 less than it should have been.
He says if the auditor does his duty
now, under section 239, be will have
the president and such other officials
as he may deem necessary, to appear
before him and swear as to the value of
the property. Then he must enter it
on his books, adding the 50 per cent.
penalty. The original return, be says,
shows that the bank is worth less than
one-half what the sworn statements Of
the officials show it to be.

The How Of It

How poor, how rich, how abject,
how august, how complicated, how
complicated, how wonderful, is man;
and it might be added, how "more so"
is woman. With her peculiarly DEL
icate and intense organization, she is
the superlatire degree of man. Even
in diseases she excels him, having
many that he has not. She has. how
ever, found out a grand remedial
agent, for the cure of her diseases, in
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a
medicine suited to ner nature, made
for the express cure Of those diseases
which affect her. 1t is especially efec-
tive in all weaknesses incidental to
motherhood, while it is also potent
restorative tonic for the feeble and de-
bilitated generally.

A FAMOUS BEAUTY AT NINETY.
The Wonderful Countenance and Charac-
ter Of the Mother Of Batholdi.

Mrs. Crawford in London TRUTH
The late Madame Bartholdi, who
died last week, was no ordinary per-
son, and on her ninetieth birthday she
looked so full of life, and beamed so
with mental vigos and heartiness, that
I wonder she did not live to a hundred.
She was left a widow early, and de-
voted herself to the education of her
sons and the stewardship Of their pa
ternal properties, which under her
management were increased to for
tunes. Though so well endowed witt
the money making faculty, she was
person of generous disposition and
given to hospitality.
LOVELY TO THE LAST.
In youth she was reputed TO be the
handsomest girl in Alsace. AS an old
woman she was more than handsome.
TIE pure outlines remained, and the
fire Of the kindest, quickest and most
lambent eyes Imaginable was never
quenched so long as life remained. The
son must have had her in his head as he
remembered her in her younger days
when he was sketching the design of
the colossal statute of Liberty En-
tightening the World"
HER IDEA OF LIBERTY.
1t was her idea that Liberty should
not be en- pate de guimauve, but of a
grave and severe aspect. Liberty was
the best Of all conditions, she used to
say, for those who were severe upon
themselves, and the worst for the self
indulgent. One never saw trace of
self-righteous harshness in the old lady.
She was very indulgent toward the
erring; but that grace, she:said, came
with the wide experience Of old age. -
1t was source of enjoyment to her
to drive to the Isle of Swans, in the
Seine, and look at the reduced copy
which was set up there q few years
ago Of the famous statue which now
stands at the entrance of New York
harbor' One of her sayings was, "Do
not repress badness; crowd it out with
good ideas"
