Rev. DIR. John D. Vincil, of
St. Louis, Mo-, formerly of this
city, one of the most prominent
Masons in the fraternity, has
brought the denunciation of the
entire Catholic church upon him
self for having recently said at a
Masonic gathering at Rolla, Mo. 4,
that Catholicism Is damnable in
stitution and the church is up to
It's neck in blood. Prominent
Catholics have petitioned the Grand
Masonic lodge to depose DR.. Vincil
from his high office in the order
and reprimand him severely for
his utterances. Col. JEFF. Pollard,
of St. Louis, also a prominent
Mason, says over his own sigma
ture, alluding to DR.. Vincil's
words, that "it was unnecessary
uncalled for, and not only un-
Christian, but unmasonic." Ma
sons generally. we believe, do not
approve of what DIR. Vincil said.

PRES. HALLS MESSAGE.
The Farmers Alliance Cannot
Support the Third Party
Movement.
To the Members Of the Farmers and
Laborers' Union of Missouri:

To the Members of the Farmers and
Laborers' Union Of Missouri:
BROTHERS. am reliably inform
ed that there is a determined and
concerted effort being made by the
members of one of the partisan po-
litical parties Of our country to
have the next State meeting of our
order declare in favor of that politi-
cal party, to endorse their political
| platform and to advocate bill pre-
sented to our national Congress and
known as the Sub-Treasury bill. l
feel that it is my duty as long as
hold the honorable position you
have placed me in to put you in
possession of all matters concerning
the good of our beloved order OF
that in amy way threatens its life
or usefulness.
| Therefore, as this movement to
change our order into a partisan
|political party and to commit it to
measures that violate not alone the
spirit but the letter of our constitu-
tion, have come to my knowledge,
deem it my duty to bring the same
to your notice, so that you may
both elect and instruct your dele,
gates from the subordinate, county
and Congressional Unions upon
these vital questions, with a full
knowledge that these are the issues
to be settled in our next State meet
| ing, to be held at Warrensbure
Il (Pertle Springs), johnson county
August "a to %.
i | therefore request that these two
questions be brought squarely up in
each subordinate, county and Con.
gressional Union, while there is &
full attendance of the brothers, tc
the end that your wishes may bt
fully and intelligently represented
by your delegates both in youl
county, Congressional and State
Unions.
}, 1t is my opinion, formed from al
intimate acquaintance with our or.
der for several years, that our use
tulness is at an end whenever W,
violate that principle of our consti
tuition which declares that our ordeI
is and shall be a non-partisan one
and that whenever we so far forge
our Alliance "golden rule" which
declares that we are for equal right
to all and special favors to none, a.
to advocate that special favors b,
granted to the raisers of wheat
corn, oats, cotton and tobacco, tina
cannot be granted to the millions o
equally deserving hard-laborine
} poor of our land, we then declare
to the world that our noble order j.
not complaining Of the robbing O.
our Government by elass-legislation
but that we are complaining be
cause we are not among the rob
bers.
| request that this letter be reat
in every subordinate, county ant
Congressional Union in the State
and if your delegates have been Sc
lected by the subordinate union
that you instruct them how to vot'
in the county Union.

A Girl's Dressing-Table.

A girl's dressing.table is the
pride of her room. She may
have pretty pictures, collection
of photographs of her best fellows
far exceeding in number that Of
her envious girl friends, she may
have gumboard of real rosewood,
five dozen sachet bags, and night
gown case of real Japanese silk ;
yet, with all these glories to out
shine it, the dressing-table is the
pride and the piece de resistance,
80 to speak, of the room. The
sweetest dressing-table is all OF
glass, and is provided with two
shelves, an upper shelf and low
er shelf. These are of beveled
glass, and are held in place by
beautiful gold legs. Another kind
of a dressing-table, less expensive,
has simply beveled glass cover
on top, and is just plain table
elsewhere. On top of the table GO
the silver manicuring implements,
the celluloid brush and comb, and
the ivory-backed glasses and brush
es. Besides this there must be the
dozens of little fancy boxes, pow.
der and puffs, and bottles of cologne
and perfumery. To make these
bottles more ornamental manufact.
urers have supplied beautiful cut
glass pictures and odd shaped
things filled with perfumery of all
colors. One can thus, if she be 6

the appointments of her room
have her perfumery to match the
general color of the boudoir.

Mad Dog Remedy.

The best way to keep a dog that
belongs to you from going mad in
summer is to persuade a friend that
the dog is invaluable and then give
the animal to him. Another good
way is to own none but crockery
and cast-iron dogs; both breeds are
said by experts to be harmless.
Any other kind of pet dog is.dan-
gerous. And the worst Of it is that
the man who is once bitten by a
mad dog rarely lives to carry into
effect the resolution he makes
never to own another pet with four
legs and set of teeth. Experts
say that the best dog to tie to dur
ing the hydrophobia days is bull
dog. That kind Of a dog may play
havoc with the flesh and clothes of
other people, but he never harms
