Stirring Circular From the Grand Regent
TO the Regents of the Council.

The following circular has been sent 10
the regents of all councils In this State:
Dear Sir ard Brother,-With a desire
to increase the membership Of the Royal
Arcanum in this State, 1 invited the L. q.
Regents, and others of the Grand Of
ficers, TO meet me in the city of Rich
mond on the night of August Sth instant,
TO devise measures for furthering the
growth of the order. After a full con-
ference with the experienced brothers,
and after mature elaboration II was de-
termined that so far as possible, every
council in the State should be visited
by deputation of the Grand officers, for
the purpose OF arOusing the councils 10
energetic activity. To this end, the
Grand officers were formed into commit
tees. Those of Norfolk and Portsmouth,
with +. q. Regent r.. A. Dobie chair
man, 10 visit ana stimulate the coun-
ellis located in those cities. and the adi ia
cent councils thereto Those of eters-
burg. with r. G. Regent J. b. Blanks
chairman, TO look after the councils there
and those Of other places most accessi-
BILE to them. The Grand officers residing
in Richmond, with l.. G.. Regent c. W.
Harwood chairman. are to have in charge
the councils IN that city and adjacent
country. The Grand Regent and Grand
Secretary will endeavor 10 visit the
councils not visited by the said commit
tees, at the same time holding them
selves in readiness TO respond to any
calls from the chairmcn Of the local
committees. i. c. Regents Walter f.
Irvine and J. b. Blanks will visit the
councils on the line of the Norfolk and
Western railroad.
In behalf, then, of the order, my broth
er, i make to you a personal, urgent
appeal. You and 1 know that commit
tees are indispensable IN their line of
operation. but that 10 collective agency
Is comparable TO the definite, personal.
persistent effort of each brother TO
influence every available man for MEM
bership in the order. If the order is
worth anything TO its members. il is
worthy of the activity of its members 10
extend it's noble principles Surely no
man who enjoys its benefits is so selfish
~ inclined. so Indifferent TO the good of
others. or has so little influence among,
his feilow-men. that he cannot be a
power, IL he will. I'm developing both the
monetary and fraternal privileges of the
order. Not only do | appeal TO Won
my brother, to work resolutely and un-
ceasingly, but may not rely on Won 10
comply with the above request. and give
to the order munihcent share Of your
enthusiasm, that will materially contrib
ute in bringing many to the membership
of the order?
Fratcrnaly. in V. NJ c.,

General John Gill, president OF the Mer-
camille Trust and Deposit Company; Mr..
William IL. Blackford, Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Finance Committee; and Col
onel John A. Tompkins returned yester-
day via the Southern and Baltimore and
Ohio railways. from a trip over the Cape
Fear and Yadkin Valley and Roanoke
and Southern railroads. The gentlemen
named were accompanied on their trip
by Mr.. Thomas VI. King second vice
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. Mr.. King reached Baltimore
Thursday. and went Immediately on 10
New York, where he viii remain for
d day or two. General Gill IL the re
ceiyer of the Cape Fear and Yadkin

enjoyed their trip thoroughly and the
journey southwark has revived the old
rumOrs relative 10 the Baltimore and OHIO
taking steps looking 10 southern con-
nections. General Gill sail yesterday
that it would not be proper to discuss
this question in advance of the return
of President Charles F. Mayer. OF the
Baltimore and Ohio, from Europe. Mr..
Mayer, who has been abroad since early
in the summer, is expected home next
week II is developed that those at
present interested in the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley roads are, as heretofore,
more than willing that some arrange
ment should be made. looking to close
relations with the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t IS a recent matter Of railroad history
that Baltimore and Ohio interests have
been approached with various PROPOSE
tions, contemplating the extension OF the
Valley Branch beyond Lexington, Va. the
branch's present terminus, the guaran-
teeing OF bonds 10 be used In the build
ing Of new connections. or something in
the way of traffic arrangements with
roads now IN existence, which would
make the Shenandoah Valley OF Vr-
gnia a thoroughfare of trade from all
parts Of the South. 10 the SOuth's great
gateway. the city OF Baltimore. IL has
been claimed In the past that the time
was not yet ripe for the carrying out
of any OF the various plans suggested
and internal problems, with which the
Baltimore and Ohio management has
had to wrestle, have given emphasis TO
such claims. a leading local nnancier
however. said yesterday. THE Baltimore
and Ohio can no longer await the ripen-
ing of the fruit Of opportunity presented
In Southwestern Virginia and North Caro-
lima, 10 say nothing OF the vast Southern
region, which can be made 10 pour its
products into Baltimore by way OF the
Valley of Virginia. Other roads are
opening their eyes TO the situation. and
Will be in the field ahead OF the Balti-
more and Ohio. If there is further hest
tation."
Speaking of the experiences of himself
and companions General Gil said yes
terday: Everything is looking up In
the South. The outlook for railroad
business was never better. Our personal
experiences were most pleasant. the
weather being much cooler than that

Two National Flags.

Is it true that We have two national
flags In use now?
Yes. The flag flown by our naval yes
sells and at our army posts has forty
four stars and thirteen stripes; the hag
authorized TO be used by our merchant
vessels has thirty-eight stars. This diff
ference is due TO the fact that one law
declares that the official flag shah bear
one star FOR every State, while another
law defining the merchant flag. describes
1t as having th.rty-cight stars. We
think. however. that this last law Is
pretty well ignored ana that our mer-
chant vessels show forty-four stars on
their flags.

When was tho first newspaper printed;
The Oldest newspaper is the Pekin Ga
zette which dates from about the begin
ming of our area. The first newspaper
printed by movable block type was the
Gazette. of Nuremburg, Germany. which
was published first in 1851. No copy OF
this paper is known TO exist Tho oldest
copy of d newspaper in existence is one
OF the Gazetta, Of Venice. II is con-

Was there ever State in this country
called "Franklin'?
No; though an attempt was made 10
erect such a State. In 1884 the residents
of the western part of North Carolina,
in what is now Tennessee, feeling that
they were not treated fairly by the State,
organized a government and called their
territory 1.-THE State of Franklin John
Sewer was chosen governor and vas in
auguratcd March !, l7S5. The State
got along reaceably for two years. Then
North Carolina sent troops into IT, and
reduced it in l7sS. The Federal govern
ment then took charge Of the territory
and in 1896 erected it into State-Ten-
ncSSee.

Each Day Sacred Somewhere.

Is It a fact that everyday in the week
IS kept sacred by some nation or other?
We believe it is. Certainly il used TO
be so when the Christians kept the first
day holy. the Greeks kept Monday, the
Persians Tuesday, the Assyrians Wednes-
day. the Egyptians Thursday. the Turks
Friday, and the Jews Saturday. AT
present the Assyrians and Egyptians do
not exist as separate nations that keep
separate holy days But the other days
are kept still by different nations as Sab
baths.

STATE HOLIDAY.

Labor-Day is State holiday which is
observed In the following States: Cabtor-
MIA. Colorado. Connecticut. Delaware,
Florida, Georgia Illinois Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine. Massachusetts, Michigan,
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio Oregon,
Pennsylvania. South Carolina, South Da-
kota, Tennessee. Texas. Utah, Virginia,
and Washington.
1t is not a national holiday as is often
enormously stated. Indeed, there is no
national holiday. not even the Fourth o.
July Congress has, at various times,
appointed special holidays. and has recos-
nized the existence OF certain days as
holidays, for commercial purposes, IN
such legislation as the Bankruptcy Act,
but there is no general statute on the SUP
ject The proclamation Of the president
designating a day OF Thanksgiving only
makes it a holiday I'm those states winch
provide by law for 1t.

Who was Mana sahib. the leader OF
the Indian mutiny? How was he pun

OF the Braham caste, and adopted son
Of the chief OF the Mahrattas. When
the chief died DhundOo tried 10 get his
pension from the East Indian company

the chieftaincy Failing. he settled in
his city Of Bitnoor. He disappeared rom

became Of him, but il is believed that he
is dead.
