Thirteenth Annual Meeting.

The thirteenth annual session of the
district grand lodge of Pennsylvania
Grand United Order of Odd Fellows,
began at Lancaster on Tuesday, over 100
delegates from various parts of the state
being present. The opening exercises
were public, District Grand Master A.
W. Denny, of Harrisburg, calling the
grand lodge to order, after which Mayor
Clark made cordial address of welcome.
Grand Master Denny responded, after
which the Grand Lodge went into execu-
tive session. The committee on cre-
dentials presented their report, and ad-
dresses were delivered by Joseph L..
Thomas, of Harrisburg: William Catlin,
Monongahela City; James A: Howard,
Philadelphia; Samuel Jordan, Carlisle;
James Needham, Philadelphia; John
Simpson, Harrisburg.
The report of District Grand Mas
ter Denny showed ninety lodges to be
represented, with a membership of
nearly 5000. The speaker urged the
establishment of suitable headquarters
for the order in Philadelphia, and sug-
gested plans looking to securing the
necessary funds. He recommended the
establishment of juvenile societies and
said the funeral fund was no longer an
experiment. He also recommended the
selection of an assistant grand secretary,
which was necessary to relieve the grand
secretary.
At the afternoon session addresses on
the subjects and aims of the order were
delivered.

Women as ShoebIacks.

A custom is rapidly gaining ground
In France, and especially in Toulon
and certain other towns, which, 1t may
safely be prophesied, will not find
much imitation in this country. This
is the employment of women as street
shoeblacks.
The French women shoeblacks are
most coquettishly gotten up, and as to
their caps and frills have somewhat
the appearance of hospital nurses, and
it Is surprising that though their occu-
patton is tolerably dirty one they al
ways seem clean and tidy, some of
them are doing the polishing In gaunt-
let gloves.
In the towns in which they are en-
ployed they certainly are success pc
cuniarily, especially where English
and American visitors, who generally
seem to treat the whole affair as good
joke, are numerous.
1t is said that one reason for the oc-
cupation being a popular one among
women Of certain grade in life is that
many of the fair polishers have mar
ried opulent customers who have been
impressed by their shining qualities.

About Coal Oil.

The report of the chief of industrial
statistics, Albert S. Boles, which is part
3 of the annual report of the secretary of
internal affairs, Thomas j. Stewart, is
nearly ready for distribution. From ad-
vance sheets it is learned that q promi-
nent feature of the report is an extern
sive historical and statistical account of
oil discovery in the western part of the
state, and how it led to a prospecting
fever.
The first oil found in Pennsylvania
was on Oil creek, which empties into the
Allegheny river, on top Of the water.
This was in 1889. Little enterprise was
spent in it until the present century,
when Col. Drake, in 1858, drilled his
great well near Titusville, which pro-
duced 25 barrels day.
Soon after this the prospecting fever
seized number of men, and in short
time hundreds of wells were in opera
ton, some producing by their own force,
5000 barrels of crude petroleum in day.
The price for the crude product in
1861 was not less than 5S cents a gallon,
whereas in the present year the produc-
ton is so great that it brings only 81
capfs

HE M0URNS HIS LOSS.
HIS AFFECTIONS UNRETURNED AND
HIS POCKETBOOK DAMAGED.

The Sad Experience of Polander Who
Sent to the Old Country for the Girl
lie Loved and on Their Marriage
Morn She RepuIscs Him.
From the Nanticoke News.
Tuesday morning it was Squire
PowelPs lot to hear one of the most
peculiar cases eyer brought before a
Nanticoke magistrate. Some time ago,
away back in the cold Country" Max
Valintz became deeply enamoured of a
young Polish beauty known as Miss
Stefnia Staniswaska. AS time wore on
and Max's passion grew more ardent he
decided to emigrate to this country
where he would have better oppor-
tunity of providing home for the object
of his heart.
Stefinia, with all the pfotestations
known to coquette, promised to follow
him when he should send for her. Con-
trary to the usual custom the man kept
his word and sent for Miss Staniswaska.
She arrived here short time ago and
preparations were Immediately made for
their marriage.
Max proceeded to purchase complete
outfit for the young lady, spending about
fifty dollars for it. They went to Wilkes
Barre and secured marriage license
and Sunday the bans of marriage were
proclaimed in the Polish church Of our
city.
However, Tuesday morning, Stefnia
informed Max in that charming way of
hers, that she didn't care to marry him,
and that in this glorious country she
might find some one whom she loved
better than she did him. This declara-
tiob nearly broke the poor fellows heart.
(She had broken his pocketbook before
she said anything). He Immediately
had the young lady arrested for obtain
ing money on false pretense. He also
charged her with stealing twenty dollars
from his trunk. Squire Powell held the
young lady in $500 bail on each charge
to settle the matter in court. Frank
Drosdoski became her bondsman.
