MRS. LEASES MASONIC
SCHEME.

Il am III Chicago to organize a
Masonic order for women. | have
decided that the Masonic order
has been Of such wonderful bene-
fit to men, so wonderfully uplift-
ing and educational that it is Ger
tainly a pity to deprive women Of
the benefits. I do not propose
to,,organizc nytI1ing a1ltagonistic
to the present Masonic order, but
the organization will be made
i'll such a manner that they will
cooperate with us, and approve
oft. I wish to organize here
first, and then il New York and
other cities. I am already billed
to speak in New York for d COM
pensation Of $500 a night at Mad
ison Square, The lectures Will
be the organization and the mi
tiation OF members Of the MasOn-
ic degrees. This is really no
new departure; III fact it is old.
Atone time il Europe, prillci-
pally i'll France, the crowned
heads all went wild over the
scheme Of comforting Masonic
degrees Oh women. There is no
use i'll saying there is any Mason

THE "HOME COMFORT t.
RANGE.

On Tuesday last we were shown
by Mr.. c. l.. Bennett, salesman
tor the Wrought Iron Range Co,
St. Louis, Mo, one of the Home
Comfort" Steel Ranges, which
are sold only from the wagons
sent out by the above Company.
This range is made of the very
best steel and malleable iron, and
cannot be broken by the rough
est usage. It's beyond doubt
the best constructed and most
convenient range it has ever been
our good fortune to examine.
The fre-bOx is only SIX inches
deep and eight inches wide, and
the results obtained from it as a
fuel-saver are something marvel
Gus. The fire lining is made i'll
four interchangeable sect!ons,-a
great improvement over the Ordi
nary stoves.
On one side of the range is ais
gallon copper reservoir, connect
ed to q lnalIeable water heater.
The end fue is lined with Ashes
tos Board to retain the heat with
III the oven, and III a few pinutes
after starting a fire the range is
ready for any kind Of baking
The range is provided with
warming closets VIII 'ch can be
used for warming plates and wit
ua1s and drying fruits sc.
The top plates are made Of
1nal1eable iron and there IS abso-
1ute1y no danger Of their being
cracked or warped. The CRATES
are the most perfect and simple
in operation and easy to clean.
Taken as a whole the "Home
Comfort" range excells any ever
placed upon the market, and is
receiving the highest praise of
both press and people.
Mr.. Bennett, who is a very po-
lite, courteous gentleman and
clever salesman, informs us that
he will make thorough canvass
of this county, and we advise ou1
people to be on the lookout for
him and examine this most eX-
cellent cooker. The range is sold
with full set of cooking3utensils,
and the FISHERMAN & FARMER
takes pleasure i'll commencing it
to our people.
The Wrought Iron Range Com
pany is q very we'll known insti-
tuition and wherever they have
placed their goods they have
given the greatest satisfaction.

1niuns at the Worlds Column bian

NEWSPAPER AND PARTY

AS to Senator Ransom, if it be
the duty of the Democratic press
to keep silent when the party 5
will has been defied by one of its
servants, as it has been by him,
then we have misinterpreted the
obligations which party news
paperOwes to a party. That
would be the course of a personal,
not party, organ. And if it be
"Warfare upon Senator Ransom
or any other prominent Dem
ocrat" entrusted by the Dem
ocratic party Of North Carolina
with the carrying out of it's wish
es in Congress, to condemn those
who, like that Senator, have slap
ped the North Carolina part of

to repeal the purchase clause of
the Sherman law and to confirm

VANCE DEAD.

hOS1dlOI LCDItIOI ID aI1SO N4SN
at his home III Washington City
Saturday night last at Io:45.
His health has been bad for
the past year or two, and during
the past few months he had suf-
fered greatly from rheumatism
and an enlargement of the liver.
Recently he went to Florida and
was apparently benefited. He re
turned to Washington some three
weeks ago, but had not been able
to resume his work in the Sen
ate. About II o'clock Saturday
he had an attack of apoplexy and
became unconscious, regaining
consciousness only a few minutes
before the end came.
His death is a sad blow to
North Carolina, and removes
from the world the one trusted
leader who has done more for
our people than any living son
has been able to do Honest,
true, manly, brave physically,
with genuine courage of COnvlC
ton and of real sagacity, he lived
all his life in the fierce light of
publicity, and made but few mis-
takes during his forty years Of
public service. His record was
constantly studied by the ;people
of North Carolina. To this hour
there is no stain, no se1nblanCe of
betrayal, no questionable acts in
all that record. Faithful, wise,
earnest, sincere, he never forgot
for all hour the interests of North
Carolina, the welfare of his own
people. He was one of those pub
lie men who SO captivated his
fellows that they sought his conf
partnership, echoed his senti-
ments, repeated his qulps aid
Jokes, and were influenced by
his ability and wisdom. He was
a man of strong convictions and
had no hesitation in their asser-
ton. He acted no false parts.
He never bartered his soul for
Office, and when death fell upon
him it found his soul white, and
his hands clean.
Senator Vance was born May
18th, 1880, and if he had lived to
his next birthday he would have
been 81 years old. He was born
i'll BunCOmbe county and was
educated at Washington College,
Tenn, and at the University of
North Carolina. He was elected
to the legislature i'll 1852, and to
the United States House of Rep
resentatives in 1858. In 1862, he
was elected Governor, and was
reelected in 1864. In 1870, he
was elected to the United States
Senate, but was not allowed to
take his seat, and resigned i'll
January, 1872. In 1876, he was
for the third time elected Cover
nor. He was elected to the Sen
ate and took his seat on the 4th of
March, 1879. In 1884, he was
reelected, as he was Ill 1890. SO
he was elected Governor thrice
and United States Senator four
times.
No man has ever stood so near
to the popular heart as the great
statesman who now lies cold i'll
death, and North Carolina will
long cherish his memory
