Masonic badges and emblems
are not worn by Masons Of the
highest rank. You see the sym
bols Of the order worn plentifully
but the wearers are usually new
men in the secret order business,
who think the exhibition Of these
articles on their person makes
them important and gives them
standing in the brotherhood.
They were never more mistaken
in their lives. influential MasCns
pay no attention to badges.
They not only do not wearthem,
but they do notc0untenance the
wearing of them. Why, any man
who has the price can buy a Ma
sonic badge and wear It. The TACT
OF the matter is that themost IN.
tiuential Masons not only do not
wear such things. but are n Tot
known at all as Masons. lex.

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

CblmlNAh u hE6 Ll0 6N CEs
WASHINGTON. June 1S.-It
was decided 10y Coroner Pat
terson today not to summon
Col. Ainsworth AS Il witness
before the coroner's jury in
vestigating the cause of the
Ford's theater disaster. Col
AinswOrth was willing to APP
pear as chief of the record
and pension division and an
army officer, but not as an
ordinary witness. The coru-
ner believed nothing could be
gained by sunlmoning him
in his official capacity and As
he was not willing to appear
as an orninary citizen it was
thought nothing could be
gained Ivy calling him.
The testimony this NOM
ing was principally in refer:
rnce to the character OF t h e.
material used by Contractor
Dant in doing the work be-
meath the old thea ter build
ing.
The jury were out nearly
two hours. The verdict, with
much surplus verbiage, sayA
that Dant excavated the
earth beneath one of the
brick pillars which supported
the floors above, without in
any way snoring or protec-.
ting the pillar, and this caus-
ed the pillar to fall, bringing
down tho floors above with
the results known.
"That Fredrick G. Aims
worth was the officer in
charge Of said building, and
Of the said clerks, and that
VIM. q. Covert was the SUI
perintendent of said building
end that Francis Sasse was
the mechanical engineer and
ffirman of said building. And
the latter, although not an
architect or civil engineer,
prepared the plans and speci-
ficatiOns for the enlargement
of said cellar; and that said
Ainsworth, Sasse a nd Covert,
and each Of them, knew, or
ought to have known, that
said Dant was engaged in ex-
cavating q cellar and under
piniling said piers, and that
he had not shored the col
umns and beams ofsaid Dull
ding or taken any other pre-
lcauti0n to prevent the tall
thereof or Of said floors. Nor
| did Ainsworth, Sasse, Covert
Tor either OF them, take any
/ precaution to prevent Il b z

Dant was engaged in under.

Although Secretary Gresh-
am will neither affirm horde
ny the statement that Minis
ter Blount has resigned those
who know the intentions of
Mr.. Blount say it is true. and
the presence of Hon. Proctor
Klmtt, Of Kentucky, in Wash
ington, has caused the belief
that he will be his successor.
Twenty army officers have
heen detailed, under the act
of July 1892, to act as lndi-
mn agents. There was con-
siderable difficulty in finding
officers willing to serve and
the President did not care to
detail men for the duty a.
gainst their wishes.
When the next pension day
comes around there will he
some disagreeably surprised
men, among those who will
apply for their checks at sew
eral Of the Pension agencies
throughout the country. The
failure to receive the custom
ary check will be the first no
tice these men will have that
they have been dropped from
the pension roll ns a result
of the examination now be-
ing conducted by u select com
mittee OF examiners, of q !
the pensions granted under
Raum's construction of the
act of 1890. Although this
work has just commenced
many names have already
been dropped and m any
more will follow. Tho m e n
who are being dropped b y
this committee aren0t strict
" speaking fraudulent pen
.ioners, although they have
drawn public muneyt to which
they were notentitled. The
wrong was committed b y
Raum in 80 constructing the
law m to make them eligible
for pensions. and for that rea
son it is not probable that
any attempt will I've made to
recover the money already
paid to those who have been
or will be dropped, as will be
done in caaes where the pen
sioners got on the roll by
fraudulent acts o. his own.
Congressman Tucker, of Va,
says: "lf Mr.. Carlisle keeps
on the way he has begun be
will be the ideal of drlnOcra-
cy and their candidate Tor
the Presidency in 1895. He
has done two things that
commend him nightly to the
popular favor--The replacing

with the knowledge that he

know that Mr.. Cleveland's
general health, barring the
rheumatism, ia excellent. He
expects in company with Mrs
Cleveland and Baby Ruth, to
leave Washington tomorrow
or next day for his Buzzard
Bay cottage, where Mrs. G.
aud Ruth will spend the sum-
mer. Mr.. Cleveland will re.
turn to Washington within a
week Or ten days, possibly
sooner, and will remnin, ma

July when he expects to 80

The fact that he expects to
spend the month of August

tually disposed Of the rumor.

that probably had its only
origin in the wishes of those
who have been hcrr clamor-

The coron~r'r jury hasnear

tignting the FOrl's theatre
catastrophe, and it's verdict
is looked forward to with the
greatest interest. 1t is well
nigh certain thatit will blame
Col. Ainsworth for contribu-
tory neglinence, If for 10th
ing worse. In that case the
grand jury will probalyindict
Ainsworth fOrmanslaIghter,

Why Allen should Be Re. Elected.

hope OF future importance n TIE mater OF state
and national legis al iou-in his defeat Walls
Waila wiI be defeated for al ting. and with
our beli;,lement Will follow that Of sll that por
ton OF Washington lying south Of make river.
This ID one reason why the peopza OF Weils
"alla are anxious for Aliens REELECTION, but lt
is not reason with which they cosld hope to
tioas OF the state. And yet the four counties in
the southeastern portion OF the state, TIA. for
political importance depend upaa Aliens
success, are rich and productive, with a
large population that il constantly increasing.
These counties have better reasons, ones that
appeal more directly TO the thought and brain
and aspirations 0! others than this purely per-
souai though valid one The cenaad made by
them for the election OF Senator Al.el Is upon
broader grounds of more uuselfsh patriotism
and the claim is not contradicted that Senator
Allen in ability, in conscientious desire TO serve
the people, Ia al the elements that make
statesman il the peer of any man III the safe.
During his many years OF lie il the state be has
grown into the esteem aud respect oS every man
who has met him, aud ii the question were TO
be decided by popular vote, he wo.Ild be re-
turned 70 the senate by an overwhelming ma.
jOrity. During his short term in ths senate ne
has been + faithful and efficient servant, secur.
