The Sovereign Grand Lodge, indie
pendent Order Odd Fellows, began its
annual session at Dallas, Texas, yester-
day.
In his annual address Grand Sire
Stebbins said in part: "The condition
of the business interests and the pros
pective disturbances in this and other
countries have had their effect upon
the order. Yet under the surrounding
conditions our growth has not been
seriously retarded. Our losses in mem
bership through inability to meet obi
cations have been unusually large,
though, when the stringency of the
times shall have passed, many will re-
turn. The additions to the order have
been fairly good, and in all branches
prosperity has prevailed to an unlocked
for extent, In the subordinate lodges
the net gain has been $3.50. In the su-
coordinate encampments there has been
a net loss OF 1876. l have gathered
from unofficial sources the following,
which if not exact as may appear in Of
fetal figures, will give something OF an
idea of the progress of our order in this
regard: Last year there we're reported
II grand jurisdictions; this year 26; il
crease 8; last year average of properly
3,78e.14; this year acreage 1913; in
crease IFS S6; last year value S6S2,727.-
OIL; this year value, SS1S,000; increase
$15, 272 SO. In addition to the forego-
ing Washington. Oregon, South Da-
kota, Nebraska, Georgia and North
Dakota have the subject of homes under
consideration and will doubtless soon
be added to the list. This growth in
this branch of our great benevolent
works. noat gratifying, for a large part
of which the order is indebted to the
Rebekah branch, that has given il
special attention"

The Free Turnpike Fever.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 22.-Last
night mob composed of thirty-four
mounted men, rode through Anderson
county cutting down toll-gates. 1t is
also thought that three-quarters of the
gates in the county were leveiled to the
ground. The mob rode through the
streets Of Lawrenceburg boldly pro-
claiming their intentions and then pro-
caeded to cut down five toll-gates on
the pixies leading to town.

The OLD JAMESTOWN CHURCH.
1t is stated at Williamsburg that work
on the old church tower at jamestown
will soon commence. Besides putting
a thick coat of cement over the tops of
the old walls, to prevent them from
further decay, a number of stout rods
will be used to secure the old tower
against spreading. The work will be
done by the association owning the
church site, and under the direction Of
a competent New York architect. The
crack in the wall on the front OF old
Bruton Episcopal church has been at
last attended to, and the repair to the
brickwork in the old building is nearly
finished. On Monday morning force
of carpenters will be put to work, to be
followed by the painters and timers.
No services have been held in the old
building during the work Of repair, and
it will be some time before the church
will be opened.

a SNAKE LOOSE IN A CARA camp
ing party that had been spending some
weeks in the mountains OF West Vir-
ginia were returning to their homes in
Pennsylvania last week and were TAX
ing with them a live rattlesnake. The
snake was in box and the box taken
in the passenger coach. At q point
near Hyndman, a few miles west Of
Cumberland, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, the snake escaped from
its temporary prison, and for awhile
created Consideration among the pas
sengers, many of whom were ladies.
The snake began rapid zigzag circuit
of the car, darting under the seats and
striking any obstacle which it encount-
cred on its way. Many persons re-
treated from the car. The situation
was growing alarming when the color
ed cook OF the can: ping party came into
the car. He seemed TO be a genuine
snake charmer, and recaptured and i'm
prisoned the dangerous foe with his
hands.

NORTHERN republican speakers in
Washington are as denunciatory OF the
democrats who abide by the arbitra-
ment or their national convention, as
are those who come to Virginia from
their section to advocate the great ad-
vantages that will result to poor people
by limiting the currency to scarce gold
and by increasing the tariff on the nee
essaries OF life in order to pay the in
terest on further issues of gold bonds.
One of them in speech he made last
night called those who will vote the
free silver ticket ''vagabonds and hood
lums;;n and yet it was only few years
ago that the man for whom they now
throw up their hats was as pronounced
in his support of free silver as Mr.. Bry-
an is now.

THE REPUBLICANS and their assis-
tants, the gold boilers, denounce Mr..
Bryan as dishonest" and positively
Immoral because he is in favor of the
resumption of silver coinage. But
though Mr.. Mckinley is mortgaged to
Mr.. Hanna for S11S,0OO of personal
debts, they say he is both moral and
honest, we'll knowing as they do, that
on the floor OF Congress he said
"We must have a silver bill-the
country demands it; but we must pass
it as party measure. I am prepared
to support any bill that we can unite
upon. I can accept free coinage, or the
Window bill, or anything else upon
which we can agree, but it is impera-
tive that we have silver bill"
What is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander, and tlops for the hope OF
gain are not creditable.

The boilers beg and pray Mr.. Nc
Kinley to ''let up" on the tariff, and
content himself with supporting scarce
gold and the civil service law humbug,
and opposing an income tax, so that they
can get into the republican ranks the
more readily: but he treats them with
contemptuous disregard, and on all oc.
casions makes the tariff the chief SUBJ
ject of his discourses to the numerous
workingmen's excursions to Canton on
special trains at the expense of Mr..
Hanna's campaign fund.

INOHIo last Saturday the regularly
nominated republican candidates for
for Congress in two republican districts
of that State, in public speeches, came
out flatfootedly for free silver, where
upon the republican committees of their
districts cancelled ali their future sp-
pointments, and are talking about with
drawing them and nominating other
candidates iu their places. This looks
very much as if Mr.. John Mclean will
win his bet that Ohio will go for free
silver.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL is quoted as
saying he is opposed to every plank
in the Chicago platform" But that
platform declares for a revenue, not q
protective, tariff, which is certainly
democratic, and it also declares for a
tax on surplus incomes and against the
civil service law humbug, both of which
declarations are also democratic, and
besides, both are popular with all poor
men. and most democrats are poor.

JEALOUS WOMAN EXPOSED HIM

JEALOUS WOMAN EXPOSED HIM
The people Of Bordentown. n. j.,
were shocked yesterday to learn that
Rev. Elvin S. Taylor, rector of Christ
Episcopal Church, had been Invested
of his ecclesiastical robes by Bishop
Scarborough, for being too intimate
with lady members Of mis- flock. A vi
vacious matron is credited with being
responsible for the rector's downfall,
aud her action has every appearance of
having been prompted by jealousy.
She advised Bishop Scarborough of the
goings on in the flock at Christ Church,
and although her communication to the
good Bishop is held in the strictest con-
fidence, it is stated that to "get even"
with the rector for fanced slight. the
young woman so far forgot herself as to
frankly state her own and Rev. Tay-
lor's conduct while summering together
at Asbury Park.
Rev. DR.. Taylor has been arraigned
before Bishop Scarborough, has con-
f.ssed his sins and handed over his Gre
dentials, and, broken down mentally
and physically over his degradation,
he is now confined in the Mercer Coun-
ty Hospital, at Trenton, partly under
the surveillance of the Episcopal
Church authorities. Mrs. Taylor, the
fallen rector's wife, with their son and
accomplished daughter, have packed
their household effects, and are only
awaiting an opportunity to take the
train to the lady's former home in Ken,
lucky.
The tongues of the gossips connect
the names of a gifted poetess and
young society woman with the down.
fall of the rector, and the sole desire of
the other woman, regardless of person
al consequences, appears to be to hui
initiate these young women because OF
attentions paid them by DIR. Taylor.
