THE SECRET SOCIETIES
KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

The Grand Lodge Knights OF Honor
OF West Virginia. held IL oi-annual ses-
sion a. the town 81 Elizabeth, Wit
county. on the 18th and 18th inst.
There was a good representation OF the
subordinate lodges IS well IS that OF
the Grand Lodge officers present aud
and much interest was taken by all In
the work OF the order Tor which they
had assembled. All were fraternally
received by the local lodge and IN
manner not e1celled by any former ses'
slons. aud every brother returned at Us
close To his home fully repaid for his
time spent with eliza.
After the business OF the Grand Lodge
was completed, the members were IN
vited TO participate in banquet at the
Kanawha House, where not only the
Grand Lodge was invited To participate,
but the resident knights and their
ladies' also.
Elizabeth Is situated on the Little
Kanawha river, as far as we could aver
age from the many statements as TO dis
lance, thirty miles, but we would think
IL only ten miles by the balloon route.
The river winds around the hills In
most serpentinous manner, and reminds
us Of the Il. Il O. railroad, whose locks
and dams were wonderful 10 behole by
many of our crowd who Viewed them
for the first time. This stream is used
principally for the purpose OF floatlng
logs or cut lumber down to the ONO
river, aud from where II Is distributed
TO many sections OF our country aud to
the old world. We visited the Burns
Bros.'s saving mills, three In number,
located I'm Elizabeth, and which are the
most complete in this country. Two OF
them use band saws from ten to sixteen
| inches wide, with the necessary auto
matte arrangements TO relieve the great
necessities OF manual labor and In which
every particle OF the timber Is
| cut To some use, and for some purpose,
| from the heaviest timbers 10 be used In
the constructions Of the large struc-
lures, to that OF house lathe. and OF
which we were permitted TO see cut
from the log whilst there, and would
occupy about FIVE or ten minutes To cut
up log. As there were great pile OF
sawdust on the river bank OF no use,
some fellow in the party suggested 10
have il nodded into brick and used In
pavements for Betsytown. We thought
il was a good suggestion, and hope the
Town Council will adopt IL, thus re-
lieving the mills OF the excessive dust
from the saws.
We next visited the Hale Bung Com
pany's mills and saw the most interest
ing OF all, and which was no less than
to see log cut to boards, those boards
TO strips, and those strips into finished.
bungs, the machines used for the pur-
pose dropping them out about as fast as
nails come from the machines In our
factories. On our return from the bung
factory we learned from the boys that
part OF the machinery had been used
at the old Hubbard saw mill OF our city
years ago for the same purpose, and
many wondered why had not had the
opportunity OF seeing the process ~
Wheeling, but we had TO acknowledge
our ignorance 10 the matter. and had
only been informed on the subject, "All
on account OF Eliza"

Although there is no immediate dan
ger, still the case OF Sir Arthur Sulli-
van is serious one, and the composer
OF PinafOre is suffering severely from a
serious attack OF renal calculus. The
Prince OF Wales was about TO call upon
the musician, when, hearing how serious
his Illness was, concluded not to trouble
Sir Arthur with a visit.
The composer of Pinafore, Trial by
Jury, Pirates OF Penzance, aud Cox and
Box, was the sen OF London musician,
and born 10 1874. In 1855 he was a
choir-boy in the Chapel Royal st.
James. Two years later he gained the
MendelSSohn scholarship ~ the Royal
Academy Of Music, and studied under
GOss aud Bennett. He afterwards con
tinued his studies at Lelpsc and, Oh
returning to England, entered upon that
career in which he was TO win such emf
hence and distinction. The Prodigal Son
and The Light Of the World at once
became popular, while his music
TO Shakespeare Tempest obtained a
great success. His songs and sacred
music have placed him among the lead
ing composers Of the day. But Pima
fore, alter all, is the basis OF his fame
No other piece, within like period,
has ever been played 80 many times or
In so many different places. When first
brought out in England. ii failed to
gain that extraordinary, though neces-
sarily ephemeral, success IL obtained
when produced In America, toward the
end of 1878. At that time Mr.. Sullivan,
with Mr.. w. 5. Gilbert, came 10 New
York to superintend the production OF
Pinafore under his personal leadership.
Cambridge University conferred upon
him the honorary degree OF Doctor OF
Music in 1876. and be was English dele
gate to the Commission deS A,tdulOns
huSicdles to the Paris Exposition in
1878, when he was made a Cheyaler OF
the Legion Of Honor. Mr.. Sullivan
has. for q number OF years, worked ia
conjunction with Mr. w. 5. Gilbert,
who wrote the words OF Pima fore and
the Pirates OF Penzance. Before
meeting Mr.. Gilbert be had writ
ten many cantatas, oyertures, oratorlos
and ballads, exactly suited TO the public
taste. He Is genial, objectionable
man. and during his visit 10 this coun-
try gained many friends.
The recent quarrel between Sullivan
and Gilbert has aroused much interest,
both in this country and in England, on
account Of the high repute OF those con-
cerned in the controversy.

SHIELDS OF HONOR.

Zane Lodge No. /. Is still leading all
other lodges In the State, and applica-
tions for membership are presented
every meeting night. On last Friday
evening full bakers dozen were initla-
ted into the mysteries Of the order and
a grand sight was presented. The finest
initiation ever witnessed in this State
was the marvel Of the evening, and
every member left the Lodge room re-
ioicing OF the wonderful skill exhibited
during the initiation Of candidates.
But wonders will never cease and Zane
Lodge. No. !, will show at al entertain
ment TO be given by them on Thursday
evening, May 9Th, at the Opera House
in this city, that they can even surpass
the performance OF initiating a caDdi-
date 10 that which took place IN their
Hall on last Friday evening. They In
ylte the presence Of the scrutinzlng
public on the above named evening, and
no doubt all who attend will be satisfied
with their performance and leave with
the conviction Of saying well done, my

Monday evening last, gave an enter.

which was visited by the pythian sisters
OF Wheeling, who were highly delight

philadelphia Is to have a cricket week,
and the matches TO be played during
that time will be for the Eastern cham
pionship OF America. The schedule is
as follows: June 81 and %, Philadel-
mia vs.. Baltimore; June % and 30, New
York VS.. Boston; July and ,, winners.
The Boston and Philadelphia clubs are
favorites for the championship.
Jimmy Wakely, one Of Sullivan's
hackers, states that while Joe Lannon
and Jack Ashton may be selected as
trainers for the championship for his
coming fight with Cerbett, no one will
have anything to do with his prepare
ton who is not satisfactory to Sullivan.
For that reason trainers may not be
finally agreed upon until Sully arrives
In New York.
The Olympic club OF New Orleans are
entering into the prize-fghting bust
ness on gigantic scale. It is proposed
to follow the offer of S2j, 900 purse TO
Sullivan aud COrbett by one OF $4,000
for Hall and FitzsimmOns, and one OF
$40. 900 for Myer and McAu'iffe, the
fights all TO occur within one week. IL
is doubtful II the matter can be ar
ranged as the dates arranged IN the
articles Of agreement in the first two
mentioned fights are two months apart
and McAuliffe will probably never again
face Myer.

There has been practically no change
n the local industrial situation during
Tie past week Iron and steel manuiac-
turers are beginning TO look upon the
existing conditions as bearing charac-
teristics Of permaneucy. The glass in-
terests are also having q period of dull
ness. The building trades alone are
showing signs of activity, and the alb
sence Of labor disturbances makes the
prospects for boom in this line dur
ing the summer months decidedly
bright Already a number OF Su0stan-
tial buildings are in course OF erection,
and many more are ia contemplation.
Ohio seems 90 be determined TO put a
stop to the practice of booming towns
within her borders. The Legislature
recently defeated Dili which proposed
20 authorize Lima 90 issue $50, 900
worth OF bonds for booming purposes.
While industries may be built up by
such means, 30 is fact that inJudiciOus
projects are also encouraged, and owing
70 temporary Inducements, capitals in-
vested with small show of return. The
best way to boom town is 20 fairly

these are sufficient, industries viii fol-
low. The day Oi large gratis of land
