WHEELING REGISTER, THURSDAY, JANUARY %, 1895

to treat him well as they might some
time want a pardon Mr.. Atkinson
started off with Biblical quotation.
He had not finished it until guest in
te:rupted him TO ask if il was from
'Trilby." He changed to q moro seri-
Gus vein, and paid a glowing tribute 10
fraternal orders in general, and the A.
o. L. W. in particular, giving some very
interesting statistics pertaining to The
subject. The difference between this
order anu others of a similar character,
he said, was the difference between
beneficence and bensvolence.
Mr.. Chas. S. Brillles was the next
speaker. He read the protest Of The
"Kickers' Convention" published after
the institution of the Grand Lodge.
His theme was The Kicker" Mr..
Brilles had his oratorial axe with him,
and his knocking" was artistic IN the
highest degree. That his listeners
were in sympathy with him in his
knocks" was evidenced by the fire.
quency and heartiness Of the applause
which punctuated his speech.
The toast-master said there were
three greatest orators in West Virginia;
one is Atkinson. and the other two is
John II. Holt of Grafton. Mr. IfJlt
talked about the Grand Lodge of West
Virginia" Re saw q new era Of devel-
opment in this State, not only in mate
rial things, but in those qualities which
stand for the best principles Of human
ity. An evidence was the ability Of
one of the speakers to correctly quote
q q
speaker paid an eloquent tribute 10 the
order, its objects, its accomplishments,
and its hopes.
Mr. Samuel A. Kepner, editor of the
Shield and Anchor. responded to the
toast The Fraternal Press" He call
ed attention &c the fact that the A. o.
L. w. has more journals published in
its interests than any other order. Tie
success of the organization should be
partly ascribed o that fact. He pre-
scented the advantages Of The fratanal
press, and incidentally paid a tribute
to newspapers and trade journals con-
Guiding with an eloquent peroratiOn.
Mr.. Frank Stanton was the next
speaker He was told to choose his
own subject. H. selected several,
talked briefly upon each, and told
number of anecdotes which threatened
to literally bring down the house"
Mr.. Frank Nesbitt said a few words
about Subordinate Lodges" prefacing
them with several happy hits on the
preceding speakers. He likened the
order to a pyramid of which the sub
ordinate lodge is the base, and eulo-
gized the cardinal principles of the
a. o. L. W, making one of the very
best addresses of the evening.
Mr. Richard Robertson was next call
ed upon, and told some OF the idiosyn-
cracies of the lodge humorist his adj
dress being Of such a nature as to ex-
cite the suspicion among the visiting
delegates that he might be occupying
that position in Reliance Lodge. His
remarks were well received
Mr. Frank Cruise spoke of the fnan-
cial affairs of the order Mr.. F. H.
LANCE congratulated the Grand Lodge
and local lodges, and the speakers: and
several brief addrs sses by other men,
bers brought the post prandial exer-
ciSes to a close

portant, was oxemplifed in the ban
Quet which was given in the Mogullian
room, on the top floor of the building.
Covers were laid for about one hundred
guests, including members of all the
local lodges. The caterer was Martin
Thornton. This announcement IS in
itself a sufficient recommendation OF
the excellence of the cuisine and ser-
vice It was ten o'clock when the
guests assembled, and an hour later
when the speech-making commenced.
The addresses were mostly extempora-
neOus, and taken as a whole gave
abundant evidence Of the wit. and
sense. and oratory. which are as much
characteristic of West Virginians as
their rugged honesty, and proverbial
hospitality.
The speech-making was opened with
a brief address by that best of toast
masters, Mr. c. B. Hart. who spoke in
his usual happy vein, and had the as
semblage alternately laughing and ap-
plauding.
He first called upon Supreme Re
corder Sackett. of Meadville, Pa. who
told a good story, and took advantage
of the privilege accorded him to talk
on any subject he pleased" He COM

FEMININE ELECT RiCiTY.
The Unhattering Term Negative Is
Sill Used.

From the beginning 1t had been no.
ticed that there were two kinds OF cler-
ical forces, but these were named, with
reckless discourtesy, positive and neg
alive. as though the second mad Oeen
inferior, inactive, merely receptive,
saws Harper's Weekly. And yet there
were suggestions OF the true relations
of these two forces that should not
have been overlooked. 1t is recorded
that six years after the st. Petersburg
professors fatal experiment (aDout
1850. Robert SPINNER, when pulling
off his stockings in the evening, re-
marked that they gave a cracking
noise and emitted sparks" By varied
experiments he discovered that the
electricity was most powerful when a
silk and worsted stocking had been
worn on the same leg, or, il the stock
ings were both Of silk, then more d.
vtrting results we've obtained when
they were of different colors. Two white
silk stockings or two back ones gave
no electrical indications. When a black
and white stockings were withdrawn.
from the same leg, and then separated,
they were SO much inflated that each
showed the entire shape of the leg AMI
at a distance of eighteen inches they
rushed to meet each other. Separated
by force they would again become in
flated. and be as ready to rush together
as before. When this experiment was
performed with two black stockings in
one hand and two white in the other,
the repulsion of those Of the same color
their jealousy-and the attraction Of
those of different colors would throw
them into agitation and make them
catch each at that of its opposite color
at 4 greater distance" Plainly this
eighteenth century student mad to do
with masculine and feminine electric
ity and yet the unflattering term neg
atiye," as applied to the feminine, has
persisted even to our day.
