THE ORDER OF PENTE
Another Scheme Like the Iron
Hall That Can't Pay Out.
Those Who Have Staid With 1t Find
Themselves Losers-NumerOus AS
sessments-IrOn Hall Report.

Il has recently developed that the Order
of Pente will not be able to meet all Its
maturing certificates. and some of the GER
~titicate holders will be losers by their in.
vesrment. The order is one belonging to
the same family as the Iron Hall. and has
only been ID existence for q few years.
The certificates were for $500 each and ma
tured in five years. 1t was organized
on the assessment plan. and was
authorized TO make assessments with
out limit, according to the neces-
sites of the order. During the past year
there have been levied something like one
hundred ant siXty-three assessments.
which will cause O loss Of about $40 to
each certificate holder who became a MEM
Der during the fret year of the order. and
probably q loss of the sane amount TO
those who entered the second year. The
officers of the order do not think it Will
necessl tate O winding up of it's affairs. but
cannot tell at this time inst what effect the
loss will nave. The loss Is not due to any
shortage in accounts. but is traced solely
30 the IN OF sick benefits under the
laws as first adopted. The laws first
adopted provided for sick benefits for
q period of five weeks during the first year
and four weeks during each succeeding
year till maturity OF the certificate. Under
this plan a large number of certificate
holders. having drawn from the order on
sick benefit claims more than they paid
into il. dropped their certificates and left
of the laws has since been remedied and
there Will be another revision at the annual
session OF the national body, to be held In
philadelphia next month.

youag Women Locked Up.

Minnie Partley and Edna Patton, q
couple of very pretty but somewhat adven-
turesome young women. were arrested last
night by detective Splaun. and locked up
for safe-keeping. The girls were detained
last week for two days. on account Of
the confession of Edna Patton that
she knew who rabbed William Wadri.
the veteran pensioner. On the promise
that they would not leave the city both
were liberated. Yesterday the officers as
certained that the pair were not only pre-
pairing Co 20 away. but were intent on tam
pering with some of the witnesses against
the men arrested for the robbery. IL was
thought best to place the young ladies
where they would not ee able to iDjure the
cake.

EXCITEMENT AT BRIGHTWOOD.

Nonunionists Dissuaded from Working-Mr
Taggsrrs Cook on Hand.
The striking boiler makers of the Big
Four are enthusiastic over a stroke of
business which they did for their cause
yesterday. For several days they have
been watching the shops at Brightw0od
for the appearance of new men. which
they claimed the company were about
bringing here. At 8 O'Clock yester-
day morning q carload of men arrived
from Philadelphia. and was pulled
into the ~rightwood yards. The strikers
were on the alert and sscertained that the
new arrivals were boiler-mskers. The in
mates of the car alighted, but on the ap.
peal of the strikers declined to 60 to work
and were brought into the city. They
were mostly and claimed that
they had secured EN- ployment with the Big
Four through the medium of an employ
ment agency. They assert that they were
told there Was no trouble here. The strik-
ers will send them back TO their homes.
The railroad company had made Drepara-
tions to board the new men at BrightwoOd.
and had sent o negro out TO do the cooking
for them. Yesterday tho strikers got hold
of the colored citizen and underworld to
He said that his job had been secured for
ham by Thomas Taggart. and he
did not like to give it up.
The union men dropped the cook
with the remark that they would remem her
Mr. Taggart later. The cook was brought
here from Muncie by Mr.. Taggart. chair
man of the Democratic State and city
committees. and Is q membe of the Color
ed Taggart Democratic Club" The pro-
visions were sold to the ompan by p. j.
RYAN. Democratic candidate for Council in
the Eleventh ward. The boiler makers
hold that the Big Four engines will last but
q few days without repairs, and they look
forward to a victorious settlement within
the mex few hours. An employe of the
road at BrightwoOd said last night that
unless boiler makers were secured within
the next day or two the yards would be
full of "dead' eDuines.

OF oficialiuformstion from Anderson which
states that q well-defined case of smallpox
has been located. The victim is q young

the Big Four shops in lndianola since
Friday. Sept. 10. Five boiler makers went
ont when a reduction from 271a cents an
hour to rs cents an hour was made. Until

into stopping work. but this they refused
to do. The etriksra then threatened them
and the company placed one Of Its special
detectives at the shops to prevent trouble.
Last night, MS one of the now men was on
his way home from work. the strikers fol-
lowed him. and talked threateningly. but
did no violence. 1t 10 believed that when
the remaining places are filled. there will
be DO further trouble.

rr.o Inevitable bursting of the Blooms

The Australian colonies are going
through IL crisis of familiar kind
though i'll their case it is rather excep-
tionally complicated and extensive.
Their banks have taken IL great deal
place both safely and profitably. There
has come a pinch and in duo course
such succession of bankruptcies rs con-
stitutes "a crisis" In their case the
pinch has been produced by the collapse
of what-in the new slang of commerce
is called a boom" in land. These
things are to the spectator no moro in
telligible than dancing mania or any
other form of nervous excitement car
ried to and for a space just little over
the border of madness.
To the average person IN possession of
moderate amount of common sense
who merely looks on "a boom" appears
to be Il phenomenon of much the same
nature as those outbreaks of religious
insanity which are occasionally heard of
in Russia or Spain-paroxysms of lunacy
i'll which whole villages strip off their
clothes and caper about the countryside
singing hymns or throw their children
into fires i'll order to purify them from
original sin. 1t seems so obvious that q
great many cannot make very high
profit where it has been made for n
short time by a few. The end of
Blooms is SO inevitable and has been
shown by so long and SO unvarying an
experience that it appears incredible
there should exist people who can still
rush blindly into them. To this of
course the answer is that experience has
no effect on human folly, whether it is
of the silly order which cannot learn or
of the cunning order which thinks it
can profit by the weakness of others

Justice Long, of MichiEan's Su3cSliio

DETROIT, July ao.-The most sensational
thing that has yet come to light relative
to the purging OF the pension list is the
suspension of no less distinguished pen.
sioner than Justice Charles Dean Long, OF
the Michigan supreme court. Few SOL
diers in this state suffer from wounds as
severe rs those of Justice Long. At the
battle of Wilmington Island. Georgia, he
lost his left arm and he was also shot
through the hips and abdomen. This lat
ter wound has still to be dressed twice
daily. Although the order of suspension
bears date of June 81, Mr.. Long has not
yet received official notice of its discontin-
uance The notice of suspension is brief,
formal document, and gives no clew as to
the reasons that have influenced the course
OF the department. The order gives the
pension certificate number, which shows
that there could have been no mistake or
confusion Of names.
