LADIES OF HONOR.

The question has many times been
asked, who are the Ladies of Honor?
What are the object OF their orgsniza-
ton, and how are they united together
in their noble work.
The Ladies Of Honor Lodge is COM
posed of the wives and daughters Of
the members Of the Knights OF Honor
Lodges, and who are members Of a
lodge which they organized and set to
working on March ., 1892, whose OBJ
iects are to aid and assist the sick and
distressed found among the families OF
Alpha Lodge No. l, Of our city. The
objects Of the organization are also
social in this nature, which was
perceived very muchly at their open
meeting held last Tuesday evening, for
they fed the hungry brothers with
choice refreshments, both liquid and
solid. until one or more OF the brethren
halloed enough. We would have en-
loved the feast spread which was
offered there that evening without
money and without price, and il the
good sisters OF the L. of II. will have
q social session every night in the
week, you will always have the breth-
rem there at least for feast meeting.
Their first social was a success in every
way, bOtl the refreshments and enter
ment.

Here is q moderate yet pleasing de-
sign for dwelling suitable for family
in moderate circumstances. The prin-
cipal rooms are grouped about one cen
trail chimney so that each is provided
with a flue. A cellar extends under the
the entire house and has a concrete
floor, outside the cellar steps and hatch
way and the usual plank stairs leading
to the kitchen.
In the first story small porch shell
tiers the front entrance, from which you
enter the staircase hall through small
vestibule. AT the left Of the hall Is a
good sized parlor, with a dining room
and kitchen ut the rear Of the house.
The hall, parlor and dining room are
separated by large doorways, which are
to be hung with pretty portieres, thus
emitting the doors which would other
wise be necessary. The curtains and
poles cost much less than doors and
give a richer effect. The entrance from
the staircase hall to the kitchen is placed
under the main stairs, out OF sight as
you enter, and is shut off from the
kitchen by two doors, which prevent the
odor of the kitchen from permeatlng
the front part Of the house, an advan-
tage which no one can fail TO appreciate.

THE SECRET SOCIETIES


On Monday evening. Wheeling Conn
mandery No. l. held their regular
monthly conelave, with large gather-
ing OF Sir Knights of the Commandery,
and visiting Sir Knights OF Cyrene No.
2. The Knights had been called spe-
cially together on that evening, TO vel
come to their kuightly tent, Sir w. W..
Van Wrinkle, Grand Generallissimo OF
the Grand COmmandery OF West Viz
ginia. who had been commissioned oy
the Grand Commander to visit No. /,
add to inspect it, but from the force OF
circumstances be did not have the op-
portunity to judge Of the valiant
Qualities OF the Sir Knights as War
riors, for no enemy came In view
Of the camp, and in consequence
N he desired 10 see how courageous the
Knights Of No. / are he will have to at
tend at some future battle cry. After
inspection all Sir Knights were Invited
by the Eminent Commander TO attack
Hotel Van KeureD, and IL was very
soon brought within the power or the
warriors, snd every one was put to work
TO vanQuish the food, and 1t was soon
put out OF sight, too.
On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge No
33 had a great crowd of brethren at the
Masons' retreat, and two fellows OF the
craft also. The latter came TO be grad
uated TO masters Of the profession, and
they came not in vain, for they STOOD
the necessary test and were deeply I'm
pressed. and they know know the rest,
what great moral Instructions they re-
ceived to be a perfect master. The
work was we'll done by every officer and
brother VINO took part In the work,
among whom were Past Master Ross, OF
No. 1, who assisted in the East. Grand
Lecturer McCahOn's lsoOrs In class work

tinue in the same line Of instruction on
the coming Wednesday evening.
District Deputy Grand Master Hall
visited Liberty Lodge No. &c, at West
Liberty on last Tuesday evening, and
also remained with the brethren and
gave them instruction as the Deputy
Grand Master in all Of the degrees, and

$4,000 Dwelling That would Make
Comfortable Home.

A sc, 500 Dwelling That Would Make
Comfortable Home.
Copyright, 1898, By The ADssrie1H Press ASCOT
alton
In designing q dwelling OF moderate
cost comfort and convenience should DC
the first important consideration. Too
often large sums of money are wasted
in useless ornamentation or In some
special "odd feature" which is supposed
TO add so much to the appearance OF the
building that an actual sacrifice OF con-
fort must be made in order TO keep the
cost within the prescribed limit. Inc
good housewife will in time forgive the
architect who plans well, even though
be may exceed the limit OF expenditure,
but iuconveniently arranged rooms ana
swkwardly located fixtures are con-
slant reminder Of his incompetency or
carelessness. II is true that people
possess different ideas in regard TO
planning dwelling, and what might
seem an ideal arrangement to one per-
son would appear to be very inconven-
lent to another.
inexperienced persons usually expect
too much and cannot understand why a
few feet added here and there in the d.
mansions of the rooms should make
much difference in the cost Of the str1c-
ture. Yet it is the actual area of ground
covered by the building upon which the
cost is estimated.

LADIES OF THE C. A. r.

James A. Garfield Circle, Ladies Of
the &. A. R., held their unique pipe So
cial on Tuesday evening, and most
successful time was had, and their hall
was filed TO its utmost capacity. Re-
freshments were served of the choicest
kinds, amusements were plenty, and so
clal pleasures reigned supreme. The
Imperial Mandolin Club rendered many
choice selections. Comrades Ewood,
Hughes and CragO made some most APP
propriate remarks, and the Hon. Jacob
Kemple made an address which was re-
ceived with rapture. At the opening OF
which he informed his hearers that he
had come all the way from New York
City expressly to made that speech.
Previous To the open meeting a special
session was held, and six members were
initiated. The Circle, being so success
full at its first social gathering, they will
no doubt be, in the coming weeks, held
very often,

promises to be a very interesting one.
Excelsior Lodge No. 10 will be In
stituted on April Goth, and grand
time is expected. There are l23 names

The meetings of Welcome Lodge are
growing more interesting each week:
At the last meeting Brother Lange OF
Reliance No. Is was present, and occu-
pied the Overseer's chair with great
credit to himself and made a good i'm
preston on both the old and new
members. Brother Richard Robert
son was also present and
made a very interesting speech.
In fact. there were speeches In aound-
'auce and every one present enjoyed
himself immensely. Four candidates
from Wellsburg were put through both
degrees.
The Committee on Anniversary Cele-
bration are busy at work selecting some
nice and appropriate souvenirs to be
presented to each lady who attends the
entertainment, which comes of next
month.
The Mogulian Conclave had four vic
tins on Friday night. 1t is hardly
necessary TO say that they had good
time. There was large attendance,
and after the difficult and perilous
Journey had been travelled by the four
brave candidates, an adjournment was
had 70 the Hotel VanKeuren, where
a splendid bauquent was enjoyed by the
entire party.

SHIELD OF HONoR.

This order is constantly growing and
extending its membership. Zane Lodge
No. l had two limitations on last Friday
night, and several new applications
were received. The order throughout
the city is gaining ground daily on ac-
count OF its superior inducements as an
insurance organization. A similar or
der has been organized at Moundsville,
and the three Lodges Of this city are
invited to go down on next Saturday
and take part in the general welcome
extended to their brothers. The new
Lodge recently instituted at Mounds
willie is known as Waverly Lodge, and
embraces some forty members. 1t is
understood the Wheeling members will

CHINESE STILL DEFIANT.
A New Circular Issued by the Six CompEn-
les ut San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-The Chi
nese Six Companies have issued q new
circular, officially and openly advising
the Chinese TO refuse compliance with
the Geary law. A translation or the
circular is in part as follows:
This registration law is not right.
All the authorities we have consulted
agree to this. We have employed five
attorneys to 60 70 Washington st the
Supreme Court to fight this unjust law.
Wait until May 5th before you do any
thing. Wait and we will help you. The
Chinese Minister has gone to the head
men for the government to get decis-
ions, and we hope to get them soon in
order that our people may not be arrest
ed and sent TO jail. II these decisions
are favorable, as we think they will be,
you will not be sent to Jail. We ought
TO do what is right and not take money
for registration and thus lose our re-
speetability."

The Death of Arsemu, Ward.

Artemus Ward died not many months
after his London debut, attended TO the
last By Tom Robertson. A strong at
tachment had sprung up between them,
and the devotion OF his new-found Eng
lish friend was touching in the extreme
and Characteristic o. Robertson's noble
nature. Just before Wards death Rob-
ertson poured out some medicine in a
glass and offered it TO his friend. Ward
said: my dear Tom, can't take that
dreadful stuff Come, come" said
Robertson, urging him to swallow the
nauseous drug, there's q dear fellow!
Do, now, for my sake; you know would
do anything for you" Would you?''
said Ward, feebly stretching out his
hand TO grasp his friends, perhaps for
the last time. II would, indeedr" said
Robertson. "Then you take it," said
Ward. The humorist passed away but
a few hours aiterward.-LUe Of 7. W.
