New YORK, November 11.-Members
OF a large number Of secret orders we're
Interested yesterday in a telegram sent
from New Haven, Conn, to- the effect
that at a conference OF Roman Catholic
priests held at Hartford an official cir
eular was read containing the results
of a council Of the Archbishops OF the
United States. The opinion was that
the ban on the secret societies OF the
country was removed, with the excep-
tion OF that on. Free Masonry. A re-
porter called on Archbishop Colrigan
yesterday to ascertain the truth OF the
report and was referred to Father La
velle, OF St. Fatrick's Cathedral.
Father Lavelle asserted positively
that no circular removing the ban from
any secret order had been issued or sent
out to the clergy. The various actions
taken by the archbishops Of the country
were made public at the time they were
taken. The meeting in Hartford was
not convened for any special purpose,
but was the regular quarterly nesting
to discuss matters OF interest to the
church. Father LaVelle added:
1.-THE Catholic Church has disapproved
of secret orders because the members
bind themselves by oath TO do Whatever
is commanded and decline to dlVulge the
purposes of their society to the proper
ecclesiastical authorities"

PARIS, KY, November 11.-At ten
o'clock last night eight strangers rode
into North Middleton, this county, ten
miles from Paris, and it is supposed
that their intention was TO rob the bank
at that place. They shot at every per
son seen on the street and mortally
wounded an old negro named Bert Nor
ris. The citizens opened fire on the
desperadoes and they answered with a
volley from their pistols. The citizens
kept up the firing and the desperadoes
left. but returned in one hour. They
were again charged upon by the citi-
zens and. driven out Of town. They
stopped at a house on the roadside about
a mile from the town and found that
three of them were badly wounded, but
those not wounded took them 10 the d.
rection of Mt. Sterling. The men were
all strangers.

SHIELD OF HoNoR.

Zane Lodge, No. /, Shield OF Honor,
at their regular meeting Friday even
ing, at Odd Fellows Hall building, pre-
sented TO its large membership unusual
exercises. Sister lodges Of the city,
Eureka and Fort Henry. had been in
vited TO participate and witness the
evenings entertainment. The first
thing on the programme was the
presentation Of a flag, with we'll
timed remarks. by Brother William
S%cheineyer. The gift was received
by the Senior Master, Richard Dunn,
who responded in eloquent language,
thanking and eulogizing the committee,
who had taken much interest In bring
ing about such q prosperous and en-
thusiastic meeting. After the Presen-
tation OF the flag other exercises assist
ed in the pleasure Of the evening.
Among the most prominent and enter
tanning can be mentioned al address
given by Those. Mayberry, who re-
hearsed the history Of the order from
its infancy. 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" In which the chorus
OF all the lodges Joined, helped
to %enliven the occasion. Worship!ul
Master Joseph Keates gave a select
reading, which was heartily secelved,
In addition to comic singing by mem
bers Of the different lodges.
The next thing on the programme
was the presentation OF q handsome
banner by DR.. Taylor, with appropriate
and eloquent words. His address would
be we'll worth reproducing, but space
would not admit. Worthy Master JOS
eph c. Keates received the banner on
behalf Of the lodge in fitting words to
the occasion
In all respects 1t was conceded to be
the most sociabls meeting that Zane
Lodge No. l ever experienced and will
make q telling impression.
The flag and banner we're presented
by a committee of the order, who &C
stimulated the money by . recen en-
tertainment, and they deserve q good
share of the credit. Their names are
Samuel L. Hanes, John l. Hess, Louis
Hess, T.. J.. Mayberry and w. IL.

John 8. Johnson.

Ny method Of training 10 one which 1
a recommend TO every racing man. l
advise a trip TO Hot Springs In the
early spring and remain there for six
weeks or so. 1t does a fellow a lot OF
good. This last season l spent six
weeks there. Then l went TO Savannah,
where there is an excellent Quarter-mile
cement track. My preliminary work
consists Of five miles in the morning and
five miles in Uhe afternoon at a 4-minute
gait. This I continue for a week. The
next week I do ten miles 10 the morn
ing at a 4-minute clip, and five miles in
the afternoon at a 3-minute or $40 gait.
The week following l do a quarter OF
a mile in. 35 to 40 seconds, say four
times a week. After that / cut down
the long work, doing five miles In the
morning and in the afternoon sprint 200
wards four times a week and ride a fast
quarter in 80 seconds. Then l consider
myself ready for a fast repeat" BY
that I mean / ride a mile against time
in 2:2S, and after half an hours rest,
90 on the track again and ride a mile
in 2:27. Three days later 1 repeat
again, riding a mile in 2:24 and ride
another 10 9:2O. The mile and repeat
work 1 continue twice a week until the
season opens. My plan is on the same
system that q trainer pursues when
handling a fast trOtter. In the mean
time I sandwich in 2OO-yard spirits.
do not drink, smoke or chew. When
in training l always retire at $3.50 at
night. I believe in getting q good rest.
consider a good rest one of the princi-
bal things in training. II a nan does
NOT sleep he loses flesh. He worries,
and is generally unfit for trials where
endurance and speed are called for. l
also believe in good eating and very
careful in what l eat. NY fsvorite
dishes, and those that 1 recommend to
all athletes, are beefsteak, mutton
chops, chicken, lots Of vegetables and
light pudding. Oatmeal l always take
az breakfast, because OF Its strengthen
ing and inviROrating qualities. Cucum-
bers and "sch" are barred.
Coming down TO a question OF who
the foremost racing men are, l should
say that there is not much difference
between Zimmerman and Sanger. In a
race from start TO finish, l think Sanger
has a better chance, because he is the
stronger man and al ride fast all the
way. In a waiting race, that is, where
the men ride at an Indifferent pace, re-
lying on a sprint at the end, then l
think Zimmerman would win. OF
course 1 have met them all,
beaten them all. and in turn have
been left behind. Tyler and Windle
class In the front rank, there
can be no doubt Of that, for they both
are first class men, Both have shown
remarkable racing ability Of late, Tyler,
particularly. He will probably make
some remarkable records next season.
l.. ). Meintjes, the South African
crack, / cannot but regard as a wonder.
When here he showed that at long dis
tant rlding he was without q peer. His
endurance power Is marvellous and he
uses excellent judgment in all his races.
The records he left behind speak for
him better than words will OF his won
dsrful capabilities in 3 trial OF endur-
ance and speed.

WESTON, W. VA, November IL
There is q man by the name Of McMil-
Ian who is an inmate OF the asylum for
the insane at Weston, this State, that
is certainly a peculiar fellow. He is an
imbeclle fellow of very ordinary appear
ance, but is endowed with a most re-
markable memory. He a begin with
Washington and narrate almost every
historic circumstance attending the life
and death Of every president down to
Cleveland. He enters into the mlnut-
est details, and is a veritable encyclo-
pedia of information so far as biograph-
ical history il concerned. By the aid OF
his rare faculty he repeats the most
lengthy marriage ceremony line for line
as it is laid down in the book aud re
cites the masterpieces Of the great poet
without a single error or omission.

II don't think I would advise q girl
to go on the stage. The only reason
for not doing so is the hardships she
must go through to get a position. The
percentage of failures Is so much larger
than that of successes. Why, leaving
out the Modjeskas and Clara MorTises,
you can counter your fingers the am
bilious young girls who have become
stars. The great cause OF failure IS
vanity, both with women and men. A
girl says to herself, 81 have a pretty
face or 3 handsome fgure,' and when
she is before the footlights that is all
she thinks of. So much study, oh, so
much study-is necessary TO success.
IF a girl has talent and a steady head
and must work for a living, then, l say,
let her try the stage. Dollars and
cents are the best incentive, because
when it is a matter of bread and butter
she feels that she must study, must
constantly improve.
1.-THE temptations Of the stage. Well,
they are not so great that a girl with
the qualities for success cannot resist
them. The rules of theatres nowadays
are so strict that a girl who ooeys them
has no difficulty in going right. She
must take care OF her health and she
must study or she will not succeed, and
If she does both she has no time to go
wrong, no time for midnight suppers or
much She must have sense
enough to know that the compliments
and attentions of admirers are not al
WAYS we'll meant. There IS, indeed,
very little vice on the stage. Oh,
I have known 50 many beautiful
lives on the stage. Take XII
ralfy's ballet. l know that you
will not find more sweet pure girls
among the same number OF young ladies',
taken as they come in any gathering
outside the sacred precincts OF home.
But a girl who does not need the money
will be happier if she does not go on the
a Q OF course, 1 no longer need to
act. Why do I act? Well, why does
Mr.. Jefferson? why does Lolita" Be-
cause [ don't see how l could live now
and not act. l love II. like to hear the
laughter and applause and always will.
But the SCATTERING OF domestic joys, The
sacrifice of social pleasures, they must
be taken into consideration. II am in
vited to dinner, or if 1 take a drive, l
must Away think of getting 1t through
in time for work. And l have no time
for shopping. That is indeed a sacri-
fee. This play Of mine,i THE Deacon's
Daughter influences so many girls.
They write to me that their case is just
like Ruth Homewebb's. They want to
act, but their parents will not hear OF
it and they ask me what they shall do.
They say that If they shonld succeed
their parents, like the deacon and his
wife, would change their views. Well,
I don't think so. The deacon is only a
character Ia a play. 1 know that l
never would have gone on the stage II
nv father had not died"

He is arrested now on the charge Of re-

the theft Rowan was in Jail for illegal

commence TO prepare for the racing
season by training with the d%umbbells
and Indian clubs early IN the spring to
harden the muscles and develop the
lungs. / take longsrides every morn
ing, say twenty or thirty miles, for a
month or two on the road, then 1 go on
the track and work there about five
miles 10 the morning and afternoon. As
o o aS ] feel good and strong, muscles
supple, lungs good, l begin to do fast
work. keeping on until I develop a
sprint, usually in the last half mile.
The early long rides have streDgthened
my staying qualities and the short rides
enable me to do good work in short
races. / try and sprint a mile in about
2:l5. III can do il in the time / know
l am in good fettle and enter a rae
meet. I always receive a good rub
down on leaving the track. The rub
down. by the way, is one Of the prin-
cipaI things in training.
In my opinion a rider knows better
than his trainer what be can do. II 3
man feels well he should work we'll. OF
course, II a man is in condition, but is
lazy, then the case Ia different. He, in
such a case. should be made work. In

leave that to the rider himself. 1 eat

times. I think that the Springfield

abilities Of the men I have mentioned.

He has wonderful staying power, and,
for a long distance man, has a great
squirt; and l think il be were to train

US all a hard push. Personally he is a
perfect gentleman and a whole-souled
