Some people have an idea also that the
order is opposed to the Roman Catholic
Church. This is great mistake, for there
are number of Catholics in Maryland who
are members of the order. In the orders
declaration Of principles it says:
We guarantee to every man the liberty
of worshiping God according to the dictates
OF his own conscience, and would give
every assistance to protect all in the eXer-
else of this liberty, but we object most
strenuously to the interference Of any
Church, no matter under what name it may
exist, in the temporal affairs of this coun-
try"
The idea that the order is opposed to the
Roman Church probably originated from
the stand State Councillor Kerr. of Penn
sylyania, took in that state recently in re-
gard to nuns in the public schools as teach
erS eXpounding the doctrines of the church
ls well. The order would have taken the
same stand had Presbyterian, Episcopalian,
Methodist Lutheran, or any other denom-
nation on the globe sought to have taught
their respective religious doctrines in the
public schools Statistics show that 63 per
cent of our public schools are controlled by
those who profess allegiance to the Roman
Catholic Church
The Jr. O. [. A. NJ. is marching forward

and Patriotism to trail in the dust, and as
our fathers died to obtain, they are willing
to die to protect.

Fair PLAY Demanded.

The Democrats in Delaware is elsewhere,
find themselves in such hopeless situation,
that they are ready to employ every means
possible to keep he State under Democratic
rule. and are rcSorting to the most dcsper-
ate measures. But they will not find it
such an easy thing To steal the State this
time. for the party stands self-condemned
before the people. The acts Of some OF the
registrars in refusing to register men who
have been assessed, paid their tax and have
their tax receipts properly signed have ar
reused the righteousness of all honest men.
The infamy and rascality of such tactics
is known to the people, and they ask, is
the power of the Registrar absolute? He
assumes that he can qualify voters or not
nd Hbiiam. But the people will find re-
dress for their outraged rights, and it is not
safe to tempt men too far The weapons
which the Democrats have used in their

The one formidable enemy OF Great
Britain is Russia. The recognition of this
obvious truth does not of itself involve any
cenSllre. 1t is the result OF natural law
which has been repeatedly and emphati
cally recognized by the governments Of In
dia and of Russia, as well as by our mill
tary and naval departments. To fancy
that the two empires can thrive and de-
veop in concord and amity is to trust that
the egg may be Matched and the chicken
grow up to hen estate without ever break
ing the she'll. Russia appetite for land is
as Unsuitable as Erysichthon's hunger for
food.
Even Russia's radical friends in England
candidly admit that it is hopeless to at
tempt to induce her to content herself with
her present frontiers in the East. And for
the best of possible reasons. Conscious of
her ciyiliziug mission. she has cast her
bread upon the waters. aud is determined
to find it after not too many days. During
the past 10 years she has annexed no, 900
square miles and 3,5OO. 900 inhabitmts-a
barren conquest, which in 10 years from
l>GS to ISIS resulted in deficit Of no less
than 81, 900, 600 roublcs. In this new terri
tory there are vast desolate stretches OF
wilderness where, on march Of ~ miles,
camclS can only twice get water to drink.
Now, is it conceivable that Russia should
squandcr money and blood for such a ruin
Gus possession unless she regarded it A. the
stopping stone to something else:

VIC arc reminded o. tbs various
uses to which Aluminium can be pat
by the receipt Of a neat lead pencil
made of that metal from the manu-
faturers of "Garland" stoves and
ranges.
The souvenir is three-cornercd, fit-
ting the hand nicely, and being as
light IS hardwood and as strong IS
steel is a very acceptable article.
Aluminium was quite costly when
first discovered, but is gradual! be-
coming cheaper, and should it ever
become cheap enough there is no end
of the uses to which it could be put
to advantage; for bridges. armour
plate, ships, etc, no better metal has
been discovered. and while most clay
contains Aluminium, the principal
cost Is in its extraction from the clay.
Experiment has proven that
aluminium mixed with iron makes the
latter metaIipour smoothly, prevents
blow holes and liability Of cracking,
and bcuefts tie iron in every way.
As "Garlsnd" stoves ard ranges are
made of this mixture, and as more of
them are made and sold every year
than any other stoves, it proves that
