"HENDERsON, n. g., July 22.-A

bration took place to-day at Wake
Forest. Over 1000 were present,
including representatives from Louis

server of Society,"" The address was an
admirable one and stamps Mr.. Henry
as one of our foremost thinkers and
orators. 1t was we'll received and is
calculated to do good in the presen.

In the course of his Grafton Mr..
Henry paid the following tribute to
Col. w. T. Beasley:
''The Oxford Orphan Asylum is !,
glorious monument to the benevolence
and usefulness of the Masonic Order.
With the fathers and mothers who
from the spirit land look down upon
their beloved children in the tender
arms of that grand institution, and
with every orphan child, who has
found rest and safety upon its bosom,
l say, God bless the Free Masons of
North Carolina. God bless the insti-
tuition throughout the world. And 1
bow with admiration and profound
respect to that warm hearted philan-
thropist, that gallant soldier, and
Christian gentleman, Col. w. F..
Beasley, who for more than ten years,
has been the Santa Claus Of that insti-
tuition, coming annually loaded down
with boxes Of good things and beauti-
full toys for the little orphans, filling
their hearts with joy. Surely the

all work has ceased. People die
by the roadside and in the village

10000 men, women and children
are now living, with little food and
no cover, in the open air.

Anti-aroisture Walls.

a practical method of insuring dry
and consequently healthful walls has
been introduced in London, the method
consisting in the use of two washes or
solutions for covering the surface of the
walls-one composed of CASTLE soap
and water, and one of alum and water.
The proportions are threc-quarters of n
pound of soap to one gallon of water,
and half Il pound of alum to four gal
Ions of water, both substances being
perfectly dissolved in the water prcvi-
Gus to application-thc walls also to be
wholly clean and dry, and the temper
allure of the hot air not above fifty de-
grecs L. when the compositions are
spread. The first or soap wash is laid
on when boiling hot with Gat brush,
care being taken to form froth, to the
brick work, and this wash is allowed to
remain twcnty-four hours, so rs to be-
come dry and hard before the second
or alum wash is used, this being done
in the same manner us the first. The
temperature of this wash when applied
may be sixty or seventy degrees T.,
and this also to remain twenty-four
hours before second coat of the soap
wash is pnt on--thcse coats being ap-
piled alternately until the walls are
made impcrvious to water; the alum
and soap thus combined form an insolu-
bic compound against the entrance of
water.

fell through In 1887 lie secured finau-
cial aid from Capt. Thomas Wilson, of
Cleveland, a shipowner, and from a
Duluth grammar, a. ID. Thompson.
They started Il little shipyard in Duluth
and began work in December, 1887,
with only one experienced assistant, IL
Robert Clark, who had had experience
as shipbuildcr on the Clyde and else
where. The conical cnds-bow and
stern-for the first boat were made in
Wilmington, Del, and were not satisfac-
tory. The result was that first tho boat
would not steer well. The boat, only a
1,2O0-tonner, was Il great curiosity, and
was dubbed Il cigar boat" NC
Dougall's pig" and "a whalcback."
The last nickname stuck.
Joseph T.. Colby, then president of
the Wisconsin Central raiisoad gave to
Capt. McDougall letter of introduce
ton to Colgate lIoyt, of New York,
who soon convinced himself that the
new boats offered great chance to
make money. AS n result of his ap-
proval OF the inventors plan, there was
formed the American Steel Barge Co,
with lloyt for president, Colby for
vice5prcsident, and McDougall for man

John d. Rockefeller, j. l.. Colby, Capt.

gradually, and reverse the old theory
that vessels bow and stern should be
high above water. They are better sub

q whalcbncls is in Il rough sea she is
practically all submerged, and the
waves roll over her without meeting
with resistance. Then again the bow
and stern arc made as they are to avoid
the weight of the old-stylc ends, which,
it is said, strain and weaken all boats
which carry them. 1t is said that in
