Knox District Lodge Of Good TempIars and
Its Banner Contest.

The Good Templars of Knox county
are thoroughly organized and have one OF
the most successful district lodges in the
State There are many workers Iii every
lodge and they plan to have their lodges
represented at every session. The at
tendance has increased to such an extent
that it has become necessary to strictly
enforce the plan Of picnic sessions, and
shortly afterward it was decided to con-
duct all the business in the district de-
gree. In order TO transact the necessary
business and to accommodate localities
that desired session of the district lodge
three special sessions were held the past
winter which with the two regular sessions
make a session every month for five
months. Three new lodges have been or
gained during the year, and several other
localities are being canvassed and there is
prospect Of further additions to the mum
Der Of lodges.
Their system of lodge visitation and in
spection and prize contest is formed from
original plans and has been proved by
them to be an assured success.
This plan was adopted year ago and
has contributed much to the growth Of
the subordinate lodges and to the pros
perity of the order in the county. The
first contest was decided in November,
when handsome chief templar's regalia
was presented to the winning lodge, which
proved to be the one at Port Clyde, u
small but not ostentatious lodge situated
at the southern extremity of the county.
This lodge received a rank of 95 per cent,
while many larger lodges received less
rank. One popularity Of this contest is
that all lodges are upon an equal footing,
whether large or small.
Immediately another contest with
several changes was inaugurated to con-
tinue the contest, which will be decided
in May. Every lodge will be visited this
month by an inspecting officer, who will
rank the lodges In accordance with the
plan agreed upon. In order to receive a
high rank lodge has got to do no more
than any lodge with interested members
ought to do; simply conform to the con-
stitution. bylaws, rules and usages of the
order and in addition commit all the
ceremonies to memory and at the same
time have constant increase of member
ship and a good attendance, especially on
the evening the lodge is inspected. AS it
is uncertain what the date of the inspec-
tors visit will be, there will undoubtedly
be large attendance at all the meetings.
This contest will be decided at the next
regular session of Knox District Lodge
which will occur on Wednesday, May 8, at
Warren, when handsome silk banner
will be awarded to the winning lodge,
which shall be known as the Banner
Lodge for such time as it shall be able to
keep this banner in its possession, accord
ing to the rule of future contests. The
members in Knox county look forward to
a large attendance at this session.

Future Work of the Geological Survey.
The plan for the imm ediate future is 10
continue topographic work in areas of
primary geologic Importance, and to do
such other topographic work as will be of
service to the people and aid in the devel-
opment of the areas mapped. In areal
geology it is proposed to continue work in
the following provinces: /. The coal and
iron region of the Appalachians from Ala
bama to the Pennsylvania line, which is
considered especially important, as there
is a large area of the Mississippi valley
and Atlantic coast which draws its coal
and iron supplies from this region. 2. The
crystalline areas of the eastern Appal-
achian region, in which gold, corundum,
mica, etc.. occur. g. The phosphate de-
posits of Florida, extending the inquiry
northward into Georgia and South Caro-
lima and possibly into the areas of SOUTH
west Tennessee. 4. The marls, ETC., of
New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia, work.
ing southwark as rapidly as topographic
maps are completed and the areal geol-
ogy can be surveyed. 3. The northeast
ern section. where the mapping and study
of the roofing-slate region of New York
and Vermont, and the mapping of the
areal geology of Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island are to be COM
pleted; and surveys will be extended to
such areas of Vermont, New HAMPSHIRE
and Maine as the available means will
permit. 6. The Lake Superior iron re-
gion, where areal and structural work
will be carried forward Systematically for
the purpose of mapping the extent of the
known mineral deposits and of determin-
ing the existence of other deposits not
now known. :. The Rocky mountain
area, where it is proposed to continue the
investigation and mapping of the gold,
silver and coal bearing rocks of Colorado.
Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana,
and. if feasible, to begin work in Arizona
and New Mexico. In this connection de-
tailed studies Will be made of such typical
mining districts as will throw light upon
and aid in the development of similar dis
tricts elsewhere. 8. The Pacific slope:
The mapping and study of the gold belt
of California has been greatly advanced,
but a number of years will be required to
complete il, and this will be one OF the
essential features of the work in this re-
cion. Areal work will also be continued
in southeastern Oregon; and IL is planned
to begin the mapping of the coal areas of
Washington, and the study of the coal
resources of the Pac fic slope. .. The
interior southwest and the region of the
great plains. from the RIO Grande to the
British boundary: In this broad area
special attention will be given TO areal
mapping. and also TO the mineral re-
sources in coal, IRON, Ignite. clay, cement

Probably IL Will Fail.

One of the votes taken in the house
proceedings at Helena, yesterday, is
IN pretty clear evidence that the bill
TO increase the number of supreme
court judges will not pass.
This bill is an orphan. Nobody has
ever been willing to becoms known as
its parent or guardian. There never
was any public demand for the pro-
posed increase. Almost without ex-
ception the newspapers of the state
have opposed it. Its passage is urged
by railroad lobby, for what purpose
does not appear.
Ii has been ascertained that the
court can catch up with its work in
reasonably good time. The increase
IN cost by the proposed change would
be serious The lawyers of the state
who are acquainted with all the facts
are not moving for a change, and no
good argument in favor of IT has yet
been heard. The vote of yesterday is
"a tip to those who are pressing the
bill that they are defeated

Tim Healy's New Trouble.

The peppery Tim Hedly, member of
parliament for North Louth in Ire
land, has resigned from the new Irish
parliamentary party's committee. Mr..
Healy has been one of the most in
tensely loyal nationalists in the Brit
ish house of commons lie is a fighter
from the drop of the hat, as the saying
goes at Waterford Aggressive and
watchful, and of unquestioned ability
in all matters relating to political
strategy, Mr.. Healy has long been of
service TO his country which he loves
with an ardor almost pathetic in its
intensity. But he is a nervous man.
easily agltated and too prone to sus-
pect treachery. When the lamented
Parnell made his fatal misstep Tim
Healy seized upon the opportunity to
drive the distinguished Irish leader
from the head of the Irish party in
parliament and from public life. All
readers OF newspaper dispatches will
recall the extreme bitterness of the
subsequent quarrels of these two men.
lIealy was on the side of the Catholic
church which refused to condone in
any part the scandal attaching to the
private life of Mr.. Parnell. At one
time during a public meeting Healy
was assaulted aud badly beaten bv
Parnell's sympathizers.
The cause of Mr.. Healy's present
trouble is unusual His own friends.
known as anti-Parnellites, recently
elected two members of the ID lion
faction to positions on the Irish par
llamentary committee. These men are
Condor and Abraham; men of no
great force or weight in any wav.
Tom Condor is unique character. He
is butcher in Clonmel; some years
ago he ran for one of the parliamentary
divisions OF Tlpperary against a popu-
lar and exceedingly brilliant young
man. Condor won, nobody knew lust
how or why. lie is neither wealthy
nor clever; he is one of the members
of parliament who are paid salary
out of the Irish parliamentary fund.
Abraham is from the north and has
never cut much of a figure in the
councils of his country.
These are the men who have been
given the places once filed by Michael
Davitt and Tim Sullivan. two of the
ablest and most distinguished men in
the ranks of the Irish nationalists.
Tim Healy could not tolerate the ac-
ton of his own friends who made this
singular change, so be resigned from
the committee. lie still retains his
seat in parliament. however.

The policy of the legislature at Hell
ena is to simplify the state machinery
and reduce the number of people who
have any relation to the public serv-
ice, and that course finds favor with
the people. At the same time, there
is a good deal of merit in the bill that
provides for the creation of a state
board of health. The question was
raised at the meeting of the state
medical association. The doctors were,
we believe, OF one mind on the sub
ject, and it was their intention to urge
favorable action in the legislature.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 1895.

When a democratic administration
is refused support OH cardinal issue
by house of representatives. at Wash
ington that has an Overwhelming demo-
cratic majority-when that happens,
it is time TO conclude that the admin
istration ought 10 resign and get out
of the way. In countries where cabi-
net government prevails, yesterdays
vote in the house would be in the
nature of notice to Secretary Carlisle
TO step down and out. He has
been voted down by his own
party, and he ought to be prompt in
sending in his resignation. Yet it is
probable that he will not do 1t; Mr..
Cleveland won't let him resign
and we may therefore reckon that,
until the month of March in the year
1897, we shall have in the management
of federal finance the set of imbeciles
who have made mockery of the adj
ministration ever since Carlisle, on
President Cleveland's selection, came
into power.

of laws making any radical changes
in existing statutes, experts have been
called upon for opinions and sugges-
tons 1t has been customary for
years TO seek the counsel of eminent
Lawyers in preparing bills for presen-
tation to legislatures, but now doctors
are consulted, manufacturers are
called in and teachers are asked for
opinions. 1t all tends to show that
this is an age of specialists.
The Minnesota legislature has gone
a step further in this direction than
any other of the lawmaklng bodies.
Last Saturday, James j. Corbett, the
expert in pugilism, was consulted by
one of the legislature committees in
regard to the modification of the Min
nesota laws as 10 prize fighting.
Naturally, the champions views re-
garding ring contests are favorable.
However, he made remarkably clear,
logical presentation of the m alter and
his statement of the case must have
carried conviction with it. Instead of
a prize fight being a brutal exhibition,
Mr.. Corbett says that it is "a mere feat
OF cleverness and quickness.
When asked why, If this is the case,
pugillsts spend so much time in train
ing, the champion replied by asking
why Chauncey Depew and Ignatius
Donnelly require ample notice when
they are to deliver public addresses.
As to fatalities in the prize ring, Mr..
Corbett says that sudden deaths occur
more frequently in other callIngs than
in prize fighting. a man may die
from over-exertion who never saw a
prize ring. Something gives way and
the end comes We are under the I'M
preston that Mr.. Sullivan thought
that something had G ven way in his
late encounter with Mr. Corbett.
Whatever the action of the Mime
sofa Solons, the opinion of Mr.. Corbett
is entitled to consideration as the ex-
pressed conviction of an expert, who
knows what he is talking about. There
is, however, every reason TO believe
that the general public will incline to
the opinion that prize fighting tends
to hasten the giving way of which Mr..
Corbett speaks.
