is to cut the ballot out of THE NEWS and
send IL to the Barnaby Company, where 1t
will be duly registered and filed. What
ever organization has secured the most
votes gets the piano. That's all there is
TO it.
The prico OF THE NEWS is one cent.
This price is invariable except to news
dealers and 10 newsboys.
No papers will be available ut THE NEWS
Office 10 anyone at less price. AS mat
ter of fact this price Is % cents q hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price of a
two-cent paper. The decision to
sell the paper at the regular price to other
than dealers and newsboys, is based on our
usual practice. We have twice had, within
few weeks, order Tor five thousand
papers, containing certain article which
the buyer desired to neil throughout the
State--having nothing TO do with the
piano contest-and the price demanded
tain this rule during the piano
competition that all interested may
have an equally fair show
to secure their ballots without any dis
elimination in favor of those who con-
ceive the idea of buying in large quantities
and perhaps securing all the votes they
want from an extra order for particu-
lar edition of the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any "junk" during the piano contest.
Any and all papers returned and sent to
the waste paper buyers will be torn
through the ballot so that it will be
unavailable.
No one connected with THE NEWS Office
or with theJ. b. Barnaby Company will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except in the
regular edition of THE NEWS.
The standing Of the Barnaby Company,
who give the piano, and of The News,
the medium of their competition, is suffi-
cient to guarantee the friends of the rival
organizations that not only will
the contest be conducted strictly
on fair and square lines and
decided solely on tho number of votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for the procuring of ballots
other than the channels that are
open to all alike. There will
be no "inside" work possible of
any description and we will thank any of
the friends of the competing organizations
for information that seems to suggest
anything OF the sort.

To THE EDITOR or THE News;
SIR Among ali the candidate, for popular vote
is there one which more strongly appeals to ohiv-
alrous manhood and ambitious womanhood than
the last candidate. "Tbe woman's College Of
Brown University" Let those in the negative vote

SERIOUS ERROR.
The Pope's Edict Against
Knights Of Pythias.
Grand Lodge Of Maryland Takes
vOtice Of Recent Action.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-The Grand Lodge
OF Maryland Knights of Pyrhiss is
holding a three days session in this
city. The report OF Grand Keeper
Of Records and Seal James White
house, refers to the recent encyclical OF
Pope Leo XIII. and its condemnation of
the Knights of Pythias, with several
other secret organizations in the follow
ing words:
Recently, presumably through infu-
ences not congenial to our soil, a religious
organization has taken steps to exclude
from our order and drive out all ad-
herents Of their faith now members.
How any mortal man, or immortal, either,
could reach such conclusions in this land
of liberty and age OF intelligence and un-
stinted charity as to try to pre-
vent any citizen from attaching him
self to an organization like this, that does
not interfere with any civil, political or
religious liberty, is q more profound
mystery than the theory that all
> motion has its origin in an atom.
1t might have had some reason immed iate-
ly after the creation of Adam, but in this
electrical day Of thought and develop
ment, to condemn societies originated
solely for the care of their sick,
to watch over the welfare of the widows
and children OF former members, and to
help each other materially when neces-
sary, to forbid O citizen from attaching
himself to such body, the same process
of reasoning would justify Withholding
succor to the starving. That this is
grave and seriods error will in time mani
fest itself to those who were its authors"

strength and in short time prices above

no effect upon speculative temperament. The
