Lewis Foltz, coiored, died Dec 18th
at his home about one mile below
Salem, aged Sc years, and was buried
at the colored graveyard in Salem
No citizen enjoyed the respect of the
people OF Salem more than "Uncle
Lewis" as he was familiarly called.
He was the slave Of the late Geo.
Foltz, Esq, the grandfather OF Mr.
John Shultz. Prior to 1928 or
1880, "UncIe Lewis" was the property
of the Moravian church. The church
then owned what was known as the
South of Salem. The land is now
owned by Geo. E. Nissen, Esq of
Waughtown. About the year 1880
the church concluded to sell its slave
property which was sold to Mr.. David
Blum, deceased. upon condition that
he would never sell these negroes.
Some years after this sale was effected,
Mr.. Blum failed and the darkies were
sold At public ouUcry. The highest
bid upon Lewis was $500. He said to
Mr.. FOltZ, who was standing by, Il
want you to buy me; have $50 which
have made and which [ will give you +"
Mr.. Foltz bid 500 and bought Lewis.
He remained with him during the
life time of his old master faithful
and obedient to the last. Since the
death Of Mr. Geo FoltZ, Miss Menia

William Shultz have cared for aud
provided for the wants of ''Unclc

homemade Curtains.

They may be made Of unbleached
muslin and are very pretty to take the
place OF a closet door. Get the yard
and a halt width and have it the length
OF the height OF the doorway and q
quarter OF a yard more. Upon this draw
conventionalized flowers, choosing those
of large size aud scattering them with
little regard TO regularity. Fitch these
with the heavy linen floss, and then as
a background darn the muslin with a
fine linen Of some contrasting shade.
Put the lines close enough TO give the
tint 20 the whole curtain. Inseead Of
working the curtain these flowers may
be painted in colors, but no shading
should be attempted.
A curtain Of this kind may also be
made OF denim, and with the same deco
rations. If blue denim is used, turn the
light side out and then make border Of
the darker, etching straight lines upon
each side Of the border, and in the CEN
ter put circles and creScents, outlining
those in different cOllors. Finish across
the top Of the piece where it turns over
in either case with a fringe TO cores
pond in color with the decorations.

MASONRY.

On Monday Ohio Lodge No. met in
monthly communication with very
attendance of brethren and visitors.
Present work was had in the Third de-
gree upon one candidate, and 1t was
we'll done in It's every part, and gave
general satisfaction not only TO the
Jealous laborers, not only TO the look
ers-on, but also to he who was made
Master, and which impressions should
be ever made on the aspirant, and at all
times, or the labors Of the craft are In
vain. On Wednesday evening the class
of instruction met as usual and the Sec
ond degree was exemplified at that
time for the benefit Of the officers OF
No. 30, and at the next meeting OF
which Bro. McCahon has already given
notice, the exempi6cation OF the
Third will be begun, and
the Grand Lecturer desires
10 not only have every officer OF our
city lodges present at all of the remain
ing meetings OF the class, but also the
brethren OF the several lodges, SO all
will be fitted TO do their part OF the
work OF the Master Masons' degree, as
it should be done, TO make the greatest
impression possible upon the candidates
who receive the degree.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge
held regular communication with the
usual large gathering of Jealous work
ers present. Work was TO be had in
one or more Of the degrees, but the as
pirants fail TO appear, and it was de-
ferred until future meeting.
A number of the brethren OF our
lodges went over and visited the lodge
at Bridgeport on last Monday evening,
and they had such good time, and
were so royalty treated there that it Is
almost impossible TO get them 10 talk
about anything else. II our good breth-
rem do not change their tactics in the
treatment OF those visiting brethren, |
fear they will be spoilt altogether, and
will probably want to change their
boarding house to the other side OF the
river, for they 20 over there on the COM
ing Monday evening again. The meet
ings for the coming week are: Wheeling
CommanderY, Monday evenings at which
time it will 6e inspected by Sir Van
Wrinkle, Grand Generaissimo OF the
Grand Commandery OF West Virginia
On Tuesday evening, Bates Lodge, No
80, will meet, and they expect TO work
in the Masters degree, and that will in
sure a good turn out of brethren at that
meeting.

THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
ANCIENT ORDER United woRKmnS.

We are glad to state that Benwood
Lodge is again showing signs OF activity.
Two limitations at the last meeting and
two more for the next meeting is the
report.
There was very large attendance on
Monday night at Reliance Lodge. The
special business on hand was the giving
out of the certificates, which was cone
in proper order. Bro. Lewis Steenrod
occupied the chair. The officers Of this
lodge have been photographed In a
group and present q very fine appeer-
ance. Bro. Z. V. Ankle, of Welcome
Lodge, was present and rendered a
couple of vocal solos, to the great en-
joyment of those present. Bro. Ed.
Carlin entertained the lodge with a
reading and several others made inter
esting speeches. There is some talk OF
having debate on some subject In the
near future.
Mogulian Conclave No. Ga will have
an important meeting next Friday even
ing at the usual place. There are sew
eral limitations on hand. Whack!.
Some Of the Fairmont brethren have
expressed a desire to take the degree.
The Committee on Anniversary Cele-
bration met last week and transacted
some business. They have received
word from Past Grand Master Work
man Ford that he will positively be
here to take part in the exercises on
that occasion. The committee has
placed the musical part OF the pro-
gramme in the hands Of Bro. K. V.
Arkfe, which is an assurance as to It's
quality.
The attendance at Welcome Lodge
on Thursday night was remarkably
large, necessitating the bringing In OF
the extra chairs. There were speeches
in abundance. and it was very inter
esting meeting throughout. There
were three limitations in the second de-
gree and two In the first.
Six candidates are expected to come
down from Wellsburg next week TO take
the degrees by special dispensation.
Several members were present from
other lodges.

Ingrowihg nails should be soitened
by soaking in warm water, lifted from
the flesh at the corners by thin pieces
OF cork or shreds Of cotton, and scraped
in the middle so that there will be a

mitted to grow long.
The steaming process for clearing the
face OF imperfections consists OF
amounting the face with some greasy
substance, steaming from a Kettle,
washing in hot water and applying d
soft powder. 1t IL better to have this
done by skilled operator, as 1t Is

The inunctions of cod liver, sperm and
other oils for increasing flesh consist OF
rubbing the oil on the skin and letting

To reduce flesh, Turkish baths, mas
sage, plenty of exercise, temperance In
regard to drink and the use OF sweet
and oily foods, are recommended. The
wearing of a waist binder and breast
supporter assists materially.

mixing an ounce Of refined castor oil

Siberian IuhumSnity Described by Ameri-
can Sailors Who Went Through IL.
SAN Francisco, GALA, March "a
Louis A. Paradyce, a sailor, who arrived
from China on the Gaelic, tells story
of horrible trial in Siberian prisons.
He was a sailor on the sealing schooner
Mary H. Thomas, and with another
sailor named Wilson went ashore on the
coast OF Kamschatka to fill water casks.
A hurricane drove the schooner OF and
the men we're left ashore. They had
no provisions, and travelled inland
to q camp of Russian soldiers.
They were seized and accused OF
boiug spies. They were sent to Cara
sock, q convict station. Paradyce tells
of horrible cruelty inflicted on the pris-
oners there. Although Wilson and him
self were roughly treated, they were not
logged as other prisoners. There were
about six thousand convcts at the sta
ton, and every Wednesday those who
had dsobeyed rules during the week
were given fifty lashes with the knout.
A woman about TO become mother was
knouted and three hours later gave
birth to dead child. or six thousand
convicts In camp, eight hundred wore
the ball and chain. Many men were too
feeble TO walk and were dragged along
by their companions. Soldiers
would prod them with their
bavonets TO make them move
more quickly. The convicts were fed
with black bread and raw salt meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson were
taken to Vladivostock. From there
they were sent to the Kara gold fields,
a fifteen days journey. They suffered
frightfully from hunger and fatigue.
Wilson gave out and had to be carried
TO a wagon. The commander OF the
ship Marion demanded that the priso-
ner be given TO him. They were taken
TO Shanghai on the Marion and placed
in a hospital. AS soon as Paradyce was
able to travel he was sent TO Hong Kong
on the Gaelic aud they came here.
