BALTIMORE, Aug. 2G.-Amos H. Hos mer, the Supreme Nice-Justice of the Or der of he Iron Hall, a leading witness in thp s'tit at Indianapolis, is home.
 "The order has been wrecked" " said Mr.
 Iiusmrr to reporter, ''and it was
 brought aEout by a conspiracy. The plotting has been going on since last November. Davis, the Supreme Cashier, declared he would wreck the institution, and he has accomplished his purpose. An effort, however, will be made in this
 State to revive the order. A meeting
 will be held Saturday night and some ac-
 tion taken towards it's reorganization.
 ''Evrrything at Indianapolis" said MT.
 Hosmcr, ''appcared to me to have been
 cut and dried and the programme was
 carried out to the letter. Why, the pa
 pcrs actually announced the name of tine
 receiver three days before he was appoint
 cd The judge, ill my opinion, was pre-
 judicvd. We were not allowed to show
 the conspiracy that Davis and Walker
 successfully instigated to wreck the insti-
 tution."

Progress In Printing.

It would be difficult to mention al industry in which this country excels so much as in its printing material, more especially that part which is pro- duced by the type foundries. This wonderful proficiency has made itself felt within the last decade, and the im- provcment is going on with such rapid strides that one hesitates to predict what the next ten years will produce. Until quite recently our type founders seemed content with following in the footsteps of their foreign con- tcmporaries, and for years most of the varieties of type known as standard faces were copied moro or less bodily from the British specimen books. In fact, according to a leading journal of mechanics, the making of type in this country seemed to be afflicted with the dry rot, and it was not before foundries began springing up in tho west that healthy rivalry set in and resulted in the production of strillingly original designs that now ornament the speci- men books of even our most conserva- tive foundries. At first, as might have been expected, many of the crea- tions emanating from the new firms were not to be commended. They went to the other extreme and flooded the country with the most outlandish designs. In time, the good taste of the public asserted itself, and these crude faccs which became known as crazy type, went out of the market, and only that which was good has lived. The result is that the printer of to-day is in
 comparably better equipped to turn out artistic work than he has ever been be- fore. Many of the type designs of the present time so faithfully reproduce the effect of the engravers work that the printer can now cope with the lith- ographer thing that was once thought impossible. In the matter of orna- mcnts and borders our foundries have fairly eclipsed themselves. The de- signs they have lately brought forth have beauties that only tho printer can fully appreciate who was long forced to put up with the old-time stock bor- der in all it's stiffness. To be popular now border must present that effect of unconscious freedom which is always so pleasing to the artistic sense.

WHEN a man hires a room at a hotel and pays for it he is justified in believ- ing that he has some rights which the landlord should respect. This was the opinion of countryman who recently stopped at a hotel in Lewiston, Me, and was assigned to q room. About midnight the watchman, in making his rounds, perceived the smell of gas and located the place from which it was es- caping. He put a small boy through the transom who opened the door. The sleeper was aroused and asked why he blew out the gas. He was indignant at the question, and stated that where he lived people were not in the habit of trying to sleep with a bright light shin ing in their faces, and he was not going to if he was in a large town. He added that if they required a man to have Q bright light in his room all night he would leave and look up another place.

OBSERVERS in various parts of the prairie region state that there are fewer prairie chicken, quail and woodcocl1 this year than was ever known. The like is true of all birds that build their nests on the ground. The long con tinucd rains and the severe cold of spring and early summer destroyed their eggs or killed their young before they were large enough to fly. The floods also destroyed many rabbits, gophcrs and striped squirrels. Small game will be very scarce on the prai- ries this season. All who live in the country or have visited it this summer have noticed fewer birds admired for their plumage and song. It has been a bad season for birds and small animals.

UnveIceme O's In Ancient Galway.

In the ancient city of Galway there
were four gateways with protecting
towers. These gates looked north,
south, east and west respectively, ard
were built to ward off attacks from the
four warlike and war-loving Irish
tribes that dwelt around. On each
gate was a motto-alliterative and
pregnant with meaning. Tho north
gate bore this inscription: From tho
ferocious O'Flahertys, good Lord de-
liver u.s." On the west gate was:
From the murderous O'Maddens, good
Lord preserve u.s." The prayer over
the south gate read: From the devil
ish O'Dalys, good Lord defend us"
The eastern and last gate bore for its
motto: From the cutthroat OKellys,
good Lord save and keep u.s." But tho
gates proved very little protection
against the four terrible tribes, and
..feroeious OFlaherty's," ''murderous
O'Maddens,-- ''devilish O'Dalys" and
'.cutthrsat O'Ksllys" frequently stuffed
their philabeg pouches with the good
red gold of the Galway burghers--

Exo.x.tine for History In runis.

It is announced from Tunis that ex-
cavations are now being made in the
famous two-headed hill mentioned by
Virgil, which hill is situated about
eight miles from Tunia Many inter
esting remains have already been un-
earthed, and it is confidently hoped
that better will follow. A temple OF
Baal Saturn, which has been almost
entirely laid bare, is attracting partic-
ularly the attention of the French
arch~ologists because Of its peculiarly
interesting statues and bas reliefs. The
building is situated at an elevation OF
over sixteen hundred feet, and this is
another proof that the Carthaginians
practiced their religious ceremonies on
hills. On all the statues of the gods to
which the temple is dedicated the
names Baal and Saturn are found to-
gether, which would seem to indicate
that to latter their Roman conquerors
tho Carthaginians had added to tho
name of their chief god that Of the
highest Roman deity.-Chambers' Jour.
