The supreme lodge of Knights Of Pyth-
las adopted a new system of transfer of
membership. The new rule provides that
by paying dues for 80 days Knight may
retain his membership in his old lodge
unless admitted to another within that
time.
The bond Of the supreme master of the
exchequer was fixed at $50, GOO.
The committee on mileage reported the
total cost Of the supreme lodge session at
$24, 722. 90. The total mileage Of all the
representatives was 272, 552, which. at 8
cents a mile, footed up to SIS, 627. 60. The

brigade Bri gadier General j. h Barley
was unanimously reelected to that rank.
The supreme lodge decided that persons
engaged in the liquor traffic as saloon keep
ers or bartenders shall not hereafter be adj

The new code of rules makes the SUI

SCRANTON Gazette (Rep.): The STATE

siona1 committee don't seem to agree on
the matter Of joint debate between s.
II. Scott and Chas. Curtis, Populist and
Republican candidates for congress
respectively. By AL means let US have
the debate, as both Of the candidates are
willing, and we wouldn't object to have
it here in Scranton, IL no other place can
be decided on. From all that we can
learn they are pretty evenly matched, SO

QUENEMo Republican: The announce
ment regarding the Curtis-Scot debate,
seems to have been misleading, since as
yet no debate has been arranged. We
hope and believe, however. that before
the campaign is out the debates viii be
given-not that We have any particular
i'll feeling towards Scott but just simply
in the interest of science. We wonder
just what kind of talk Scott can make
in defense of Populism as exemplified
by our representatives in Washington.

to write his autograph with his own
hand
Hundreds of tons Of frank matter are
sent out in the mails every year, and the
people are taxed to pay the railroads for
the transportation. By the use of fac
smile autograph stamps, the scope of
the abuse is vastly increased, and really
amounts to gigantic swindle of the pub
lie.
The Populists have carefully avoided
any attack upon this pernicious invention
of the old parties, and they themselves
are eager to take advantage Of it in the
interests of a cheap dissemination of
their literature.

A MErRopoL1rAN 1NcrpENr.

Two gentlemen met in New York yesterday.
They have recently been prominent before
the country in discussion as TO the time,
place, and incidental circumstances connected
with the remote possibility of future meet
ing, at which certain disputed points concern
ing their respective physical prowess and
lodging dexterity could be definitely settled
Prof. James Corbett, it is recorded, entered
the room with that swinging gait which, re-
Elected in his arm, gave Prof. John Sullivan
three distinct anatomical shocks at New Or
leans. Dispensing with formaity, and max
ing studied though somewhat spawned at
tempt at the bright and facetious, Prof. Cor
bett greeted the other gentleman as "Fitz," +"
and remarked that he was there to do busi-
ness and that he had no time to talk very
much talk or discuss Robert Elsmere."
To Prof. Fitz-Hugh simmons credit let it
be recorded that he was equally averse to lit
erary didacties. On the contrary, he ex-
hibited a haste that would have thrown a
nervous child into commissions. At this juno
ture Prof. Corbett selected the most sarcastic
OF a full gross of ironical smiles and shedit
upon Prof. Fitz-Hugh Simmons with actorly
cision, and with fervor which Inflated his
facial lineaments to lunar effulgence.
Prof. Fitz-Hugh Simmons muttered a
smothered invocation to the effect that no
more pie be thrown in his face
Prof. Corbett threw down miniature Bu-
reau of Printing and Engraving on the table
Prof. Fitz-Hugh Simmons covered part of
it and called lime on the remainder.
Prof. Corbett magnanimously agreed. and
prepared to go, murmurine the while that he
would be late at a called meeting of the
Browning Club.
They glared and separated.
The fight is on.

ANOTHER UNSAFE BUILDING.

Notwithstanding the reported feeling Of Sc
curity existent among the workmen in the
post-ofice repair shop. Secretary Bissell, or
his assistants, should at once move the force
OF repairers TO safe quarters. We want no
more Ford's Theater structures, nor should
employees be allowed to remain while such
buildings are being repaired.
Assistant Postmaster General Nelson has
shown healthy curiosity, and Mr.. Entwisle
and his assistants have shown a commendable
activity in bringing out the fact that many
human lives are in danger from floors taxed
already beyond their capacity.
Meanwhile a score of men worked yesterday
on the millennium post-ofice. There are OBJ
viously no new quarters for mailbag repairers
In that direction, and Uncle Sam must repeat
his ancient and expensive role Of renting
quarters. This country evidently still needs a
few more business men TO conduct its every
dav affairs
