CONSENT MORE THAN PROPOSAL.

The mere formal words will you marry
me?" are not in a majority of cases so
much a proposal as a consent. What
women understand among themselves as
leading them on" is the essential proposal
of marriage. Without this encouragement
few men would ever come TO the direct
point of acceptance, which they put in the
form Of a question. Leading him on" Is
accomplished in innumerable ways. In Eng
land il is done by Intervention Of the
mother, who invites him to dinner, to share
her opera box. by favoring glances and
open condolences, thus practically asking:

should more directly interpose in their own

The recent robberies OF consecrated hosts

of the churches in France goes TO prove
the existence OF sacrilegious sects which
worship the devil. This extraordinary re-

tends to strengthen the belief in the real
existence Of the Satanic sect. A reporter
OF the Matin has just interviewed NJ: Hugs
mans upon this fiendish subject, because
he evidently based the strange revelations
of his work upon actual observations.
chi, Is quite w tEge.n said M Nj Huysm mans
that were given TO me by a well-informed
person, but the Luciferian world became
excited, and the adopts OF the black mass
own suddenly broke off all communication
with me. But l am convinced that the rob-
berry of the consecrated hosts in Notre
Dame, was by the ~Satanites,
who, by the way, never steal the chalfceS,
like common church thieves. These rob-
berries are very frequent, and there is hard
ly a day that the clergy of Izire especial
tabernacles.
II can vouch for the truth of the state
ments which j will now give you, and
which were made TO me by an eyewitness
In whose veracity L have absolute conf
dence.
I'm a part OF the canton of Fribourg,
called the Grande-Fontaine, there exists in
the rear Of a house Of ordinary appearance
a sort OF grotto cut In the rock. This house
is occupied by the tiler of the Masonic
lodge, La Regeneree. The members OF this
lodge hold their ordinary communications

which is decorated like a Catholic church.
The choir is raised above the ground floor
and separated from the nave by a COM
munion table. In the center stands an
altar surmounted by the grand blazing
star This Masonic emblem takes the
place of the cross. In front of the choir
proclamation of the consecrated hosts. Be
tween the house and the grotto there is a
little garden, intended for the ceremonies
preparatory to the sacrifice / could not
very we'll describe the character of these
ceremonies, but it Is enough to say that
the costume de riguer for the lady MEN,
bers is that of Eve before the fall.
'It is these sisters who are charged with
the duty OF furnishing the hosts, which
they procure, for the most part, through
sacrilegious communions. Moreover, they
make black hosts which the Grand Mis-
tresS' oiemnly consecrateS to Luclfer.
The ceremonies are a parody of the mass,
and psalms are sung In honor OF satan.
On the little altar in front Of the choir they
stab with daggers the consecrated hosts;
and finally they proceed with the COM
munion according to the black rite.
II should add that the Lodge Regeneree,
of Fribourg, does not belong to Freema-
sonry proper. Its delegates have been cut
off from all communication with the Ger

to satanic Masonry.

milk was q more serious affair. The death
rate of children during the siege was dou-

been otherwise. The mothers could neither
suckle nor buy milk for their newborn
babes. These. with few exceptions, speedily

Salt soon ran alarmingly short. IT got up

found by the free distribution of salt wa
ter from a certain saline spring, which the
proprietor generously made over TO the city

heads together and manufactured a substi-
tute for natural salt Until the capitula-

felt, and declared itself i'm the ill-health Of
the people. The salt water contained only
three parts of salt I'm a thousand.
Little by little, too, the grocery and other

from the progress OF civilization can only
testify his gratitude to society by giving

Next Tuesday is the day for the
election. Everything so far seems
very quiet Last Saturday there was
a small rally at Ridgeway, in Fair
field County and speeches were made
by Gov. Tillman and John Gary Evans.
They were both bitter and partizan and
preiudiced. These speeches were not
calculated to win any votes. The COM
mittee on arrangements refused to per-
NIT Dr.. Pope a seat on the platform
and also refused to let him speak at
that place and time. Of course he found
another place and an audience VINO
would listen to him, and he bad ms
say. He gave some of the inside bis
tory of the reform movement that Is
interesting. The speeches Of Gov. TIL
man and Mr.. Gary Evans are not cal
culated to arouse any interest on the
part of the conservatives who would
vote for Evans but who do not want a
constitutional convention.
The agony will soon be over and we
trust there will be peace and that pros
perity will come.

in way TO save the suffrage TO every
white man worthy OF a vote. while al
the same time reducing the negro
voters at least one half, possibly more. y
.How?' That's the question |
asked. Just about as Mr.. Sigh did at
Ridgeway.
WHO IS GOING TO TRUST TlLLMAS'
That's my secret. Let the people
of the State, the poor worklngmen,.
who have been my supporters and OF
whose cause I have always. been cham
pion, trust me. Let them vote for the
Convention. The time TO discuss the
method of reducing negro majority IS
after the Convention has been called.
The people can instruct the delegates
to it when they appear before them
asking to be elected not only on this
but on every other question. II the
plan then suggested does not meet their
approval they can elect men pledged
not to Incorporate it in the new Con-
stitution."
THE COST OF THE CONVENTION.
"What is your idea of the cost of the
Convention, Governor" was asked him
for the sake Of the money-thlnklng
voters.
II see no reason why it should cost
more than a session Of the General AS
sembly, which is about $4,000. In the
first place it need not consist OF more
than l24 members, giving representa-
ton to counties according 10 popula-
ton. There would be no heavy expense
for the the solicitors and large num-
Der of clerks and the printing bills
would be much llghter than for ses-
sion of the Legislature. A great deal
of the present Constitution ought to re-
main Untouched and | see no reason
why all the chances that are really
essential cannot be framed and ratlhed
in at most forty days"
Governor Tillman had said that the
Convention should be non partisan, SO L
asked him whether he thought Refor-
mers would vote for Conservative as
delegate to the Convention If called.
GOOD ADVICE THAT WOULD NOT BE
FOLLOWED IF GIVEN.
He replied: II should think, and l
certainly wonld advise that the ques-
ton of which side in State politics a
man stood on should have nothing to
do with the selection of delegates. The
Constitution should not be factioEal
one. and the men of the very highest
character, purest lives, greatest WISDOM
and knowledge should be selected With
out regard to how they stood" =,
rhe Governor had said enough, and
with this said, "Good night" A. X.
