THE DROWN DIVORCE CASE.

preliminary hearing was given at
Springfield, Mass, Tuesday, in the divorce
case of Frank L. Drown against Adella
NJ. Drown. Lawyer Ross appeared for the
libelant and J. W. Pickering of Boston
for the libelee. Mr.. Drown keeps a bak-
cry at 455 State street, Springfield, and
his wife formerly sang in the Olivet
church choir. The ground for separation
is adultery, several correspondents being
named.
The hearing was on the petition for an
alimony, and Judge Mason granted the
libelee $50 down and $50 month from
the time that the libel was filed in
court. A hearing on the merits of the
case is set for Nov. 10. Mr.. Pickering
said, in arguing his motion, that the couple
were married Dec. "a, 1878, in Springfield,
and after some time spent in that city lived
in Brattleboro. On returning to Spring
field, Mr.. Drown established the bakery on
Armory hill. They separated Aug. Is,
when papers for a divorce were served on
the woman, and she went to live with her
sister in Boston. Lawyer Ross called at
tention to the fact that the allegations COW
cred period of 10 years, and that the suit
was not a surprise to Mrs. Drown, the
husband having condoned former offences.
Judge Mason ordered that the time and
place of the offences be specified.
Mr.. Drown was the proprietor of the
Brooks House shoe store during his resi-
dence here. Mrs. Drown sang in local
church choirs. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Drown
made many friends here.
The announcement in the daily papers
| that a BrattlebOro resident was one Of
the correspondents caused great surprise
here, and was generally discredited. Wher
Mr. Drown and his lawyers were consulted
at Springfield it was found that there was
absolutely no ground for such charge
Notice was given that unless it was with
drawn within "A hours action for libe
would be taken. As a result an amend
ment was filed in court, completely with
drawing the charges. 1t is unfortunat
that recklessness was shown in a matter o
such grave concern, involving the reputa
tion of man of high standing; but ther
is reason for general congratulation in hi
vindicaton.

The MIssIsslppI Method.

How completely the clored vote is sup
pressed in Mississippi, and what farce
the elections are there, is shown by the re-
turns in the biography of himself which
Mr.. Catchings of the Third Mississippi
district furnished the Congressional Direc-
tory. 1t appears that in the last election,
in a presidential year, he received total of
2495 votes, while his Republican opponent
was allowed a total of l59 votes. The
population of the district in 1890 was lS4,
297, and there were about $1,000 votes in
it, but it only took 7 per cent of these votes
to elect a member of Congress, according
to the Mississippi method of doing busi-
ness. A little comparison VIII bring out
this fact plainly. In the 10th Massachu-
setts district, which Mr.. McEttrick repre-
sents, at the election last year there were
%, ,249 votes cast. The population of the
district is ia, 900. Mr.. Catchings's district
has a larger population, but down in MISS
issippi one vote equals about 10 votes in

Unconditional Repeal.
The silver FnIbusters Give Up the Flgh,

The silver Ftllbusters tstve Up the right.
In The Phoenix of last week it was
briefly announced that settlement of the
promise measure was probable. Under the
lead of MI. German of Maryland a com
promise proposition was arranged during
Friday and Saturday which it was suppos-
ed up to Monday would be adopted and
carried through, 36 Democrats having
pledged themselves to support it. The
terms of the compromise were, in brief,
that purchases of silver shall cease on the
first day of October, 1894, and that silver
certificates shall be issued TO take the place
denomination of $40; the seigniorage of
bullion in the treasury to be coined and
certificates issued against it, in order to
supply the treasury with needed funds.
To very general surprise it was an
nounced Monday and still further in detail
on Tuesday that Mr.. Cleveland would not
listen to compromise, and that the fight
would continue on the basis of uncondi-
tional repeal.
The welcome news came from Washing
ton Wednesday morning that the silver
minority had given up the fight and would
no longer oppose unconditional repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman act.
The result was brought about by the
ultimatum of Senator Dubois, the Republ-
can silver leader, who told the Democratic
silverites that they must take the lead in
| the fight.
1t is now expected that the question will
come to vote within few days. The
/ tirmness of President Cleveland for uncon-
ditional repeal, the resolute support given
him by the Republican senators, and the
rising tide of popular Indignation against
the filibusterers, were factors in breaking
! the deadlock

AMID THE GLACIERS,
And the Beautiful Scene where There
Is No Night.

From the first of series of articles on Alaskan
glaciers, written by Albert J. Pullen Of Brattle
boro for the New England Grocer Of Boston,
The sixth day our course was through
the islands known as the Stka Archipela-
CO. and a very beautiful scene lay all about
us. The islands are forest clad, lying so
closely together sometimes that one could
almost throw stone from one to another,
but there is deep water everywhere from
island to island, and we steam between
them in perfect safety
We are heading for Glacier bay, and if
the weather holds clear we shall see
glacier at sunrise. There is no night away
up here, and kept the deck, now and then
going below for a cup of coffee. | shall
never forget the experience, which had so
weird and uncanny, and yet 50 supremely
beautiful, an effect about it all, that the
memory of it will remain fixed as long as
memory lasts. Along the sky line is a
glow of golden light, the glow left by the
setting sun, but here it remains all night
long until paled into nothingness by the
strong light of the aurora rising. Here
and there this golden arc of light is broken
by the snow-capped peak of some mountain;
and the snow lies pink where the light
touches it. The aurora reaches from sky

A Masonic Temple.

A meeting of the incorporators of the
Masonic temple association of Vermont
was held at Burlington Friday. On mo-
tion of Maj. n. p. Bowman the capital
stock was fixed at $50, 900 to be divided in
to 2000 shares at S25 each. On motion
of j. H. Whipple of Manchester the books
of the association were opened for subscrip-
tions to the capital stock. The grand lodge
of Vermont was the first to subscribe, and
while the amount was not decided upon, it
is understood that it is prepared to sub
scribe several thousand dollars toward a
temple. The other grand and subordinate
bodies of the state will unite in the project.
The brethren present showed their interest
by subscribing liberally. The location of
the building has not yet been considered,
but it is understood that several places in
the state are anxious to secure it, and stand
ready to make special inducements. This
board of directors was chosen: U. A.
Woodbury. of Burlington, Col. A. A. Hall
of st. Albans, Delos NJ. Bacon of st. Johns
bury, Col. NJ. o. Perkins of Windsor and
j. II. Whipple of Manchester. At a sub
sequent meeting of the directors Col. Hall
was elected president, w. G. Reynolds,
clerk, and d. N. Nicholson, treasurer, the
latter two being of Burlington.

THE eliminating Atrocity of Glass
LegisIation."

LegislatiOn."'
The legilahture of the Democratic state
of Florida adopted a joint resolution at its
recent session setting forth the fact that
the production of pineapples in the semi
tropical portions of the United States is
assuming large proportions and has great
promise for the future, but that the people
engaged in the cultivation of this fruit
cannot yet compete successfully with the
more fertile soils and cheaper labor of for
eign countries For this reason the Flori-
da senators and representatives in Con-
gress are urged "to use every effort to Sc
cure the imposition of tariff of s. a bar
rel or 50 a hundred on all imported pine
apples.
This action reads curiously alongside the
declaration of the Democratic national
platform "that the federal government has
ties except for the purpose of revenue
only" Perhaps it is an intimation that
the Democratic idea is that protection
should be withdrawn from northern indus
tries and extended to the products of the
southern states. Otherwise, speaking in
the words of Gen. Hancock when candi
date for the presidency, "the tariff is To-
cal issue"
We wonder that this Florida declaration
has escaped the attention of the New York
Sun, which day after day hammers away
with relentless energy land venom) upon
the declaration that the Democratic plat
form and last fall election settled the fact
that the only constitutional tariff is a tar
iff for revenue, and that all the Democratic
majority in Congress have got to do is t
construct a constitutional tariff which
wipes out the whole system of protection

CIsrsIsnd,s Rroken pledges.

In a speech in New York the other night
Charles Emory Smith made an arraign-
ment of the Cleveland administration S
record on civil service reform which can
not be refuted or gainsaid "Mr. Cleve-
land stood in the Lenox Lyceum less than
year ago, on the eve of the election, and
said: "A little reflection, it seems to me,
cannot fail to arouse the American con-
science to the wickedness as well as the
peril of a debauched suffrage And yet
we have seen his administration knock
down the Italian mission to the highest
bidder for a campaign fund to debauch the
suffrage. The administration came into
power with the loudest professions of civil
service reform. And yet we have seen il
turn over the entire consular service of the
nation as unlimited partisan spoils. The

Senator Hill is very confident that it
would be an an easy matter to reach a vote
in the Senate if the friends of silver re-
peal would join forces to accomplish that
end Mr.. Hill claims that while the ex-
isting rules may make it impossible to
bring the main question to vote without
any delay, they cannot prevent a vote upon
a motion to amend the rules. He holds
that motion to amend the rules would be
acted upon Immediately if the presiding
officer did his duty. The right to make its
own rules is conferred upon the Senate by
the constitution, and nothing could pre-
vent a majority of the senators changing
the rules at any time. With a motion for
such change pending the presiding Off
Ger would properly refuse to entertain any
motion or to recognize any senator until the
question of amendment had been decided.

THE FRATERNITIES
I. o. o. F.


The question OF Dues anu Benentss
One of the decisions of the appeal court
was that the only persons entitled to the
death benefit, or the remainder after pay
ing the funeral expenses, are the widow,
orphans under the age of q, or dependent
relatives of deceased, or relatives upon
whom the deceased was dependent at the
time of his death. Dependent relatives are
relatives who were members of the family
of the deceased and dependent upon him
him for support at time of death. Also
that in case there was no funeral expense
and no dependent relatives under the above
construction that the lodge was not obliged
to pay the death benefit. The committee
on dues and benefits submitted a lengthy
report, going into all the details of dues
and benefits, and presented several resolu-
tions, of which the following were adopted:
/. Resolved, That the minimum rate of dues in
all lodges Immediately subordinate TO the Sover-
eign Grand lodge shall be 10 cents per week.
2 Resolved, That the sick benefits to be allow
ed in such lodges per week shall not exceed one
half Of one years dues, and the funeral benefits
shall not exceed five times one years dues.
1t was also voted that the grand repre-
sentatives bring this matter before their
several grand jurisdictions for action, so
that the Sovereign Grand lodge can take
further action in the matter at its next
session. This is very important question,
and one that not only the Odd Fellow
lodges must face, but all beneficiary orders
will have to take some action upon sooner
or later. 1t is a matter, furthermore, that
unless the state grand lodges or the Sover-
eign Grand lodge does decide soon, will,place
the future prosperity of the order at stake.
Our liabilities are increasing faster than
our assets. We hope to treat more fully
on this subject at some other time.

Forty Railroads In Receivers Hands.
From the Rutland Herald

A list is published of 10 railroads which
have gone into the hands of receivers since
January /. The total mileage of these
lines is l2,S99. The aggregate indebted
ness is SSl2, ,S3l $40, of which S642, ,637, ,S11
stands against four roads Reading, North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Erie The
stock of the 40 roads is $402, ,6l0,12 The
stock and bonds of these roads represent
about one-eighth of the entire railway cap
ital in the United States. In the years
1873 and 1874 the mileage of defaulting
roads was 16,347, the bonds S553, 721 Ola
and the stock S372N41,570.

There is a fact about the sale of the
Italian mission to J. J. Van Allen for S50,-
600, cash paid in advance, which seems to
have escaped general attention, and this is
that Van Allen wanted the appointment to
give him and his family social prestige.
His wife is an Astor; her marriage to Van
Allen was not approved by the family and
this is Van Alen's way of showing the
Astors thing or two. When he was in
England last spring he stated openly and
repeatedly that he was to have this mission
and should spend several years in Italy.

Odd Fellowship has nearly doubled it

membership in the last 20 years.
One of the decisions of the grand sire
affects this jurisdiction, especially the Re-
bekah branch, and will be an important
matter to come before the Rebekah con-
vention at Rutland next month. We refer
to decision No. 21.
A state or provincial Rebekah conven-
tion has no power to impose tax on the
Rebekah lodges of the jurisdiction for any
purpose. But the Grand lodge of the jur-
isdiction may impose tax on its Rebekah
lodges, collect it, and pay the amount
over to the Rebekah convention for its
maintenance.
At the last session of the Sovereign
Grand lodge a resolution was introduced to
abolish the present lodge regalia, and sub
sttute in its place badge TO be worn on
the left breast, such badge to be of the
color of the degree to which the brother may
have attained, and to which may be at
tached such emblems and jewels as the
brother may be entitled to wear. This was
laid over until next year for action. The
younger members were strongly in favor
of the change, while the older members
were opposed to so radical a step in one of
the distinctive landmarks of the order.

The Senate confirmed J. J. Van Allen to
be ambassador to Italy, last Saturday, after
a debate of considerable length, in which
Van Aliens nomination was sharply crti-

David b. Hill voted no. Senators Morrill,
and Proctor were both paired against con-
firmaton. The open sale of this mission
is an act which will return many times to
plague the Cleveland administration.

Such a movement is to be inaugurated by
