Advisory Board of the Supreme Council Of
the Order Removes the Ban Against Maj
Mckinley.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The report of
the advisory board of the supreme
council of the A. p A., which was
finally completed Saturday, while ex-
onerating Maj. Mckinley of some of
the charges that had been made against
him and withdrawing the boycott, does
not declare him to be the choice of the
A. p. A. The Ohio candidate, as far as
the boards action affects him, is to
stand on the same footing before the
A. P. A. as the other presidential can
didates The board condemns no one
and does not indorse any one. The
executive committee which issued the
boycott is not excoriated, as was pre-
dicted in some quarters.
The election of officers was proceeded
with until midnight, when, in defer
ence to the objections of many of the
members to transact business on Sun.
day, the council adjourned until to-
day. John w. Echols, of Atlanta, Ca,
was chosen supreme president; H. S.
Williams, of Boston, supreme vice pres
ident, and Mr.. Swan, of California, su'
preme secretary. Washington was
selected as the permanent headquar'
ters of the order.

Canvas is almost as popular summer
material as grass linen; indeed, is often
used with it, the canvas for skirt, the
linen for bodice. White alpaca and

For bicycle riding, use short skirt.

SENECA, Kan, May 1s.-A terrible
cyclone struck this city Sunday even

heavy hail storm, hail as large as wal
nuts falling. About 10 houses are to-
tally wrecked. Five people were killed
and many badly hurt. The dead: Two

Peter Assenmacher's children. Two of

The opera house, school house and
court house were completely demol-
ished. There are few houses in the
city that were not more or less dam
aged.
The entire north part of the city is
covered with trees, boards, etc. The
loss in this city will be about 100000.

The Shakers OF Mount Lebanon, a COM
munity of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shakers
never have Indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode of life, part
ly to the wonderful properties of Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is
caused by the stomach glands not sup
plying enough digestive juice. Shaker
Digestive Cordial supplies what's want
ing. Shaker Digestive Cordial invigOr-
ates the stomach and all its glands so
that after awhile they don't need help.

The theatrical entertainments were
very good, and the cost of attending
them was exceedingly small. While in
the leading tn lters in London or Paris
there is usually one great actor or sing
er who overshadows the rest of the
company, in Italy all the actors were
more nearly on the same level. Many an
evening we have enjoyed an Italian play
CT opera at the modest cost of u Ira
(ninepence-halfpenny). In the summer
time when the Apollo and the Vale
were closed the Correa was opened in
the Mausoleum of Augustus; there was
no roof to it but the sky. The perform
unce began at five and ended at eight or
half-past. The price of chair in the
pie was Ira, and there was no objec-
uon to cigar. The last time we were
there the play was S4akespeare's "Ro-
meo and Juliet" The acting was ex-
ccllent, and the text of Shakespeare
translated into italian was closely fol
lowed. In the italian theaters then
YOU could for Ira have seen Ristori
and Salvini in the same plays as they
performed in London, where gold had
to be paid for entrance.-Chambers

SHERMAN, Tex, May 1s.-The horror
stricken people of Grayson and Denton
counties have been engaged for the
asst As hours in the work of recovering
and counting the dead victims of Fri
lays cyclone and alleviating the suf-
ferings of the injured. Two hundred
,orpses may cover the fatalities. An
other hundred men, women and chill
1ren have been reported seriously in
jured, and two score of these sufferers
are not expected to live, The wounded
in the neighborhood of Sherman are
scattered over territory ten miles in
length.
A million dollars will not cover the
property loss. The storm began near
Justin, in the southeast corner of Dem
ton county, and passed east and north
through Grayson county until the Red
river on the Indian Territory border
was reached, when it scattered and
ceased its deadly work. The town Of
Joel, in the Chickasaw nation, was the
most northerly point stricken The
cyclone travelled 100 miles, but its width
was confined to $50 yards.
Searching parties were sent out
along the path of the grim reaper tc
gather the bodies from the flooded
wreckage and relieve the sutferings OF
those injured. The women of Sherman
were as brave as the men and much
heroic work was done. The common
sorrow obliterated the line which di-
vides the negro from the white. Fol
lowers of the Red Cross on the field OF
carnage could not have done more
than white men and women did for the
poor suffering survivors of the black
race, who comprised the majority OF
the victims.

"a Star Out of Jacob"

In the time of the reign OF Hadrian,
about a. d. 100, a jew appeared among
the people of Palestine claiming to be "a
messiah-the star out of Jacob"-which
Balaam predicted in his prophecy. (See
Numbers xiv, 10 This Jewish messiah S
name was Simeon Bar Cocheba, which
latter name in the Hebrew language
means "son of u STAR This individual
who so blatantly proclaimed himself to DO
of divine origin took Jerusalem by storm
Ca. ID. 1922 and actually commenced tho
rebuilding of the temple. He took the
government in hand and issued coins and
performed many other public offices. Ono
of these coins, now in the British muse

and upon the other Hebrew legend mean

Jews, it is said, lost 600, 600 men defend

down the popular delusion. In Roman

1t is curious fact that Southey holds
no place in the hearts of present lovers of
poetry, yet in his lifetime no ono was
moro honored than he. 1t may be that
his personality rather than his poems at
tracted the admiration of his contempo-
raries Now no one knows him.
Let me try to picture Southey as he sat
in my mothers drawing room. l do not
remember that his features were particu-
larly striking, and he was not tall or of
the stately presence which characterized
his brother, DR. H. II. Southey, but his
eyes! a dark and liquid brown, so full
Of love, when he was silent and calm, that
you thought perchancc nothing but love
was there, but when he spoke the liquid
brown was fire, yet fire made OF roses, and
the beam that dartod from his eyes seemed
TO reach far into the room. Again l say,
would that l could remember the words
he spoke, but L was u child, and "a very
young one.
In those days children were little no.
ticed. L was ono of n large family, so
thnt, although l suppose my hero had to
shake hands with me when first he entered
the room that would be all the notice
ever expected from him. l merely sat
where l could see him aud worship to my
hearts content the being who first woke
in my infant mind the love OF poetry, for,
greatly rs l delighted in the story of his
poems, what touched my heart was tho
feeling which was clothed in those magical
words, the everlasting truth which, wrap
ped as it was in tales of oriental supcrsti-
ton, could yet find its way in perfect
purity to the heart OF a child. -Tcmple

Early observations on Smoking.

Jacques Cartier could find nothing more
odd or curious among the singular Gus
toms of the Indians than their habit of
smoking tobacco. In the narrative of his
second voyage to Canada in 1885 the fol
lowing quaint description of pipe smoking
among the primitive rcd men is given:
Tho Indians have an herb which, dur
ing the summer, they gather great guam
tity of for the winter, and which they prize
very highly and use (the men only in the
following manner: They dry it in the sun
and suspend it from their necks tied up in
a little skin instead of n bag, together with
horn (pipe) of stone or wood. Then, at
all hours theNmake powder of the said
herb and put II in one end of the horn and
then place live coal upon it, and through
the other end they blow so hard that their
body is filed with smoke so much so that
it comes out of their mouths and nostrils
AS out of II chimney. They say this keeps
them healthy and warm, and on that &C
count they never go about without these
things. We have tried the said smoke and
after having it in our mouth it seemed to
contain pepper so great was the heat
AT the time the above was written to-
bacco was unknown in France, and it was
more than quarter of n century after that
it was introduced into that country by the
seed sent from America by Jean Moot.
