Charity, as organized in the irster-
mites, has none OF the sting that goes
with the charity from a stranger.
Each has done his portion toward
creating the fund, and is able to take
it without feeling psuper.

"Absent" in calling the roll Of officers
and do hope that those who have
been absenting themselves will resolve
to do better.
The fraternity editor OF the Albany
Argus talks from the shoulder" hea,
him:
Here is little good advice to al
officers who were installed in the
twen,y-si1th district. II you are
elected to any Office in your lodge
get the blue book, learn every line
that is required Of you, and make it
your ambition TO do the work better
than any other officer OF the lodge. Il
you cannot commit the work to mem.
DRY. for goodness sake have the man.
illness to resign and give the Office to
a man who can."
This is good advice to officers all
over the land. If you can't do your
work properly, get out OF the way
aud let somebody else have an oppor.
tunity to try. The day for submit
ting to the ignorance OF blundering
and incompetent officers is past. Do
or get.
The prosperity Of an organization
depends to a considerable degree
upon the msnner in which the exc.
cutive officers discharge their duties.
Orders do not attain any marked
success. or prosper materially, where
the officers have become lukeWarm
and do not evince the proper amount
of interest. In no organization will
the indifference OF the officers so
surely affect the order as in a irater-
nifty like ours. In all The business OF
the courts, and ell the ritualissic work,
these executives have 60 important 6
part that their failure to perform it
properly affects seriously the work
ing and detracts from the impressive
ness OF ceremonies. When therefore,
an officer finds that BY reason OF
business engagements, because Of
lack OF interest, or for any cause what
soever, the proper amount OF time,
consideration and care cannot be
given to the duties of his Office. it be-
hooves him to resign his position aud
allow one who can properly discharge
the duties to fill the Office. Pursu-
ing any other course than this 10
treating the order unfairly, is placing
himself in false position and doing
40 one any good.-Advocate.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCED.
Dealers Believe That Rates Will Go
Up Still More.

Dealers Believe That Rates Will Go
Up Still More.
CHICAGO, November 10.-The Tribune
says: The Lumbermen's Association of this
city met with full attendance last night
and advanced prices from 30 cents to 81 a
thousand feet, and say they may go still
higher.
Lumber has been on steady decline
since 1898. The dealers who boosted prices
say they have only taken a step toward the
prices they will ask before next spring if
the tide of prosperity continues. Some
dealers believe lumber will sustain an ad-
ditional advance of from 81 to 81 a thou
sand feet, the increasing amount of build
ing serving as the warrant for the subse-
quent advances.
Another thing that contributed to the
advance was the small quantity of lumber
in the city at present, being but 60 per cent
of that on hand last year. Then at this
season of the year the lake traffic compa-
MES increase freight rates. This makes
the expense Of bringing lumber to Chicago
greater. The dealers say the advance is
not in the nature of boom, but is the
logical result Of the conditions following
the election.

Indian apOlis Board Of Trade May

CHICAGO, November 1O.-A special dis-
patch from Indianapolis says:
Local bankers and business men with
out regard to political lines are express
ing themselves in favor of an organized
movement to bring about revision of
the currency system and declaring that
something must be done to remove all
cause of distrust The majority agree that
the greenback must be retired. The sug-
gestion is also meeting with general favor.
that national meeting Of business men
be held to consider the subject and recon-
mend action to be hereafter indorsed by
Congress.
1t is the purpose to ask the Indianapolis
board OF trade to take the initiative, but
meanwhile 1t is proposed to seek the views
of boards Of trade in other cities to the
end that there may be concerted action.
So far as the bankers are concerned
since the election they are realizing more
clearly than ever that gold has been hoard
ed by the people. Daily deposits are made
of gold In musty sacks, showing that it
was buried In the earth.

HEADQUARTERS HERE
The National Republican Executive Com
mittee May Locate in Washington.

The executive committee of the republi-
can congressional committee has under
consideration the proposition which has
been advanced by some of it's members to
establish permanent headquarters in this
city for the next four years. While no
definite decision has been reached up to
this time, 1t is understood that the idea has
been favorably received and it is quite
possible that the proposed plan may be
adopted.
Headquarters In Washington.
In this connection it is also a matter of
current gossip that the republican national
committee may establish headquarters in
Washington, and that Chairman Mark
Hanna may be a frequent visitor to the
capital. 1t is said that Mr.. Hanna and
hts associates are now considering the ad-
visibility of keeping headquarters open for
an indefinite period, and that Washington,
Chicago and New York are under consid-
Grafton as the location of the headquarters,
with the chances decidedly in favor of the
selection of Washington.
The reason given for the continuance of
campaign headquarters and the maintain
ing of committee organization is that Mr.
Bryan's declaration that the free coinage
fight should be continued has determined
the republican managers to keep up the
sound money propaganda and to prepare
the way for a sound money victory in the
next congressional election and the sue
ceeding presidential election.
The Free Silver Movement.
1t Is said that one of the causes which led
up to the ominous strength attained by
the free silver movement was the fact that
for the past several years there has been
an active and continuous campaign by
those interested in silver through the me-
dium Of what was called the Bimetallic
League. This organization conducted in a
very quiet but very thorough and effective
Kramer a campaign of education among
the people, having the sole object in view
of assisting the cause of free silver. 1t is
we'll understood at this time tnat the silver
people, emboldened by the strides which
they claim they have made toward their
goal in the recent election, will redouble
their efforts and will make the next two
years busy ones in promoting the interests
of the white metal with view to controll-
ing the congressional elections If possible
The republican managers propose to meet
this campaign, to give blow for blow, and
II possible, to go one better, and will en-
deavor In every way to counteract the
effect Of the free silver propaganda.

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP.
1t Will BE COntested by Three SOutl
ern Representatives.

1t Will BE COntested by Three South
ern Representatives..
The minority leadership in the next House
will be an honor which will be coveted
by more than one member. During the life
Of Judge Crisp his title to that position
was not disputed. His absence will be
felt by the men who have followed him
in many hard-fought contests. While he
was absent from the House during the
last session, the leadership, by reason Of
his position on the committee on rules,
went to Representative McMillin of Ten
nessee, whose experience and ability also
entitled him to consideration for the honor.
1t was not, however, by the full permis-
sion Of Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee, or Representative Bailey of Texas,
that this leadership fell to Mr.. McMillin.
They assumed the leadership whenever
they thought they could benefit their side.
1t is probable that in the coming Con-
gress there will be an interesting rivalry
between these men to determine who shall
be the minority leader. Mr.. McMillin, it
is predicted, will get the best of 1T for a
number of reasons. On parliamentary
questions he is said not to be the equal
Of Mr.. Richardson, but if the great fight
is on the tariff his experience may be ad-
mitted and his leadership go unquestioned.
