violation of a written pledge to do

this pledge was given before the No.

john Greenleaf Whittier, the
good, gray poet, who has passed the

pen forever: my writing days are

temptation he continued: "Perhaps l
have written too much. Sometimes l
think l have, but everybody has been
very kind and has given me more
credit than I deserve. But will re-
ward their kindness by not adding to
their burdens. I suppose l could
write if l tried, but my hand is not as

eyes as strong as they were before /

myself to use these new-fangled wri-
ting machines. An old-fashioned pen
has always been my assistant in what
ever work l have done. have nev.
er tried debating, but I am sure I
should not mahe success of it. The
pen forms q subtle connecting link be-
tween the brain aud the paper, and
affords continuity of thought which
can be found in no other way. No, a
type writer would be of no assistance
to me, SO / have stepped aside to make
way for others"

"A strange and terribly fatal dis
ease is said to have broken at Big
Bend, Avoyelles parish, which has
caused the death of number of peo-
pie in that section. The disease is al
legged to have been brought to that
neighborhood from Mobile, Ala, by
Mr.. Lemoine, whose dea.h was
qeickly followed by that of his wife,
three sons and sister-in-law. -Four
other persons, who had attended the
Lemoines during their illness, were
themselves attacked and succumbed
to the death dealing malady. 1t is
said that the disease, which is com

with hot fever, then the tongue be-
comes swollen and turns jet black,
after which death soon relieves the

The Rev. Benjamin Franklin De
Costa, at the church of. St. John the
Baptist, in Waverly Place, New York,
on Sunday, referred to the project
which has been somewhat mooted Of
consolidating his church with some
other in the upper portion of the city.
He said that he was very much op.
posed to the consolidation of bis
church with any other. "The rich
must stop berding together at single
points," he vehemently declared
"The millionaire should remain where
he is most needed, in the church's out
works, and / do not hesitate to de.
clare that he who refuses to do this is
an ene:ly to the church instead of a
friend" Speaking of the chapels
which are scattered here and there in
the poorer streets of the city. Mr.. De
Costa contcmptuously exclaimed :
"They are but notices to the poor to
keep ont of the churches of the rich.n
Later the preacher declared with great
emphasis that the wealthy churches of
our city were little more than so many
ecclesiastical clubhouses, and that they
formed a standing menace to the
christian religion. off the policy of
these proud, vain, puffed-up and often
mortgaged institutions is religion"
said Mr.. De Costa, "then we want
none of it." In conclusion he ex-
pressed it as his solemn conviction
that the curse of God would rest upon
such Ecclesiastical syndicates." -Ex.

THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
MASONRY.

Monday evening, Wheeling Union,
chapter Ne. 1, held its monthly convo-
cation as usual, transacting only rou-
tine business, owing to the intense heat.
All the companions came to the conclu-
sion not to do any work that evening,
and they prevailed upon the candidates
to consent to let their ambition to work
In the Arch be appeased I'M
I'll another moon. To that they
readily consented after being as
sured they would feel warm enough
In their new employment, even II 1t

lands icy mountains to be a mystic fell
low. That Is what the captain of the
guard says, and he ought to know and
will say the point is well taken.
On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge
No. 80, held their regular communica-
tiOn at that time, and work was thick
and plenty which could hardly be
otherwise, as the quarries are turning
out lots of good ashlers.
Worshipful Brother Ewing H. Adams,
the Master elect being present, was in
stalled by Past Master Belleville into
Office. We are glad to meet Brother
Adams again in the Lodge after his
long continued seige of illness, and
trust now that providence will give him
a continuance Of good health in the
future. During the evening work was
had in the first, second, and one was
there for the third.
In the work Of E. A. two candidates
appeared, and they were taught in q
most pleasing manner how they could
best serve their Master in the erection
Of our moral temple. One came for the
second, and he was taught by Pas
Master Belleville on the floor how t
make the true upright steps of Fellow
Craft to obtain admission within thu
courts Of his Master, there to receive
the rewards for his labors as worth,
craftsman. Brother Adams presided II
the East during the week, and did hi
part we'll, better than we could have ex
pected him to do, as 1t was his first worl
since recovering from his sickness
Owing to the intense heat OF the lodge

Snort In America.

In talking about the growth Of sport
in America Arthur Lumley, of the IL
Illustrated N,cs, says: "There are just
at present about six race tracks run
ming with full head of steam on In the
East, the pool rooms averaging about
one Thousand day, take it all around;
but at leas one hundred times as many
people ar interested financially, in
every racerun over the big tracks. In
New Yorkalone there are as many as
two hundrd thousand people interested
In this spot. Over two hundred thou
sand bets re recorded at the tracks and
pool room In that city. Three hundred
thousand New Workers are impatient
for the results of the races and ball
games evey day. Two hundred thou
sand peope bet on the races In one form
or another and their ventures will aver
age at Leaf So apiece; that makes $780,
600 averaged in New York city on every
race. Suely we are the greatest sport
ing peopl'on the top Of the EARTH"

Joy reigned high in Alpha on last

OF necessity. Brother Botsford as a

Industrial HappsningA

Now that all the organized labor con-
,onrions and conferences with manu-
,octnrers are az an end, the Industrial
interests are beginning to assume q
rvelier and more hopeful aspect. The
GUNNER shut-downs are over, most of
tbem. and the employees Of the various
Dlapts are getting ready to resume.
several Of the local glass factories have
started fire in their furnaces, and the
trade generally will start up next Mon
day.
-
The last OF the conferences between
the manufacturers and the A. +. G. w.
II committee was held last Wednesday
evening and came TO a satisfactory
termination. The flint glass factories
will all resume in short time. Those
in this vicinity will nearly all start up
next Monday. The following is a sy-
nousls OF the changes In the various
scales that will govern the respective
branches Of the flint trade during the
next ire.
Mold Makers: The working hours in
this branch have been reduced from IS
10 So hours per week. This makes re-
duction In the production in the mould
shops which is equivalent to substan-
tial Increase in wages.
Pressed Ware and Iron Mold List
The basis for turns work will now bC
AZ hours. This Is a compromise on Az
hours, the workers demands, and
hours, what the manufacturers insisted
upon.
Chimney Blowers: The chimney scale
as agreed upon in the conference las
June was ratified. TheOnly change Il
that the summer shut down shall be To-
eight weeks instead Of six weeks a
heretofore.
Prescription Scale: This scale 1
practically the same as last year, witt
the exception Of the addition OF new
bottles 10 the list, and cash settlement
every two weeks instead OF "marke
money" as has been the rule. The sum
mer stop has been extended from seve
weeks TO two months.
Paste Mold Scale: This list contain
some minor changes from last years l
the way OF substantial increase In tn
wages paid on number Of articles.
The electric bulb scale Is the same 8
the one In vogue last year.

BRITISH IRON TRADE.
Suffering Among the Workmen In that
Industry-Actual Want.

LONDON, August 15.-Owing to de-
preston In the iron trade operations
many of the principal iron works in the
Cumberland district have suspended fol-
some time past and the inability of the
wOrkmen to procure employment is
causing acute distress.
Six thousand men have been thrown
out of employment by the stoppage OF
the works and large number of them
have earned nothing for year. Many
families have struggled along hoping for
better times, but hope OF the works
starting up has been abandoned, and the
outlook for the coming winter is OF the
Qloomiest nature. The families OF the
iron workers, men, women and children,
all show traces Of the privations they
have suffered through the enforced idle
ness OF the bread-winners, and 1t is an
absolute fact that hundreds Of them are
on the verge Of starvation.
So serious has the situation become
that the authorities have decided TO
start public works to give employment
to the many idle men in the district and
thus avert the famine which~is threat
oned,

ST. PAUL, MINI, August 15.-George
Mueller, who issued the Alliance wheat

plies from the Secretaries OF Alliances
in southern Minnesota, south Dakota,
Wisconsin and Kansas larger num-
Der from the latter State, where the AL
lance is strong, telling us OF Alliances
having voted favorably on the suRges-
ton. These are the localities to which
the circulars were first sent. Not an
unfavorable reply has been received
from an Alliance Secretary. In fact,
the only unfayorable reply was from one
man in Freedom county, who expressed
merely an individual opinion. My opin-
ion is that the farmers will allow this
grain to remain In the stack and go on
with their fall work, blowing, etc, and
do the threshing afterward. This, OF
itself, will result In large per centage
of the crop being held for time at all
