THEIR RELATIVE STRENGTH.
What is the relative strength OF the
| Masons and the Odd-Fellows throughout
! the world?
The statistics OF Freemasonry are very
| incomplete; except in English-speaking
! countries they practically do not exist.
\ In 1893 there were 713. 333 Masons IN the
! United States, and $1,000 In Canada: IN
the same year there were $50 192 Odd-F Eel
lows in the two countries. But these pro-
portions do not obtain for the whole
world. and it is believed, with much rea-
son. that Masonry surpasses Odd-Fellow-
ship in numbers taking the whole world
into consideration.
"ROENTGEN" AGAIN.
How do you pronounce Roentgen?
What is meant by an X-ray? Why "Rev.
Mr." and "Mr. Justice and not "Mr
Doctorf"
Almost as If spelled Roont-ken. The
ray" which Prof. Koentgen discovered,
contained some power previously I'M
known; in mathematics Y always stands
for an unknown element" so the name
'X-ray' was given TO Roentgen's rays as
indicating that their character was I'M
known. Reverend prenxed 90 Mister sim
ply indicates that the Mister Is a clergy
man. Mr.. Justice Is arbitrary and purely
formal; il is the title Of justices of one
particular court. Mr.. Doctor indicates
nothing. and has no reason for existing.
CIVILIZED WARFARE DEFINED.
What is meant by civilized warfarep
Civilized warfare is warfare IN which
one of the cOmbatant parties, Il not both.
conducts its campaigns in the spirit OF
the Treaty Of Paris Of 1856 That Is. IL
fights only against uniformed enemies.
not against women and children Ohls
does not prevent IL from treating az pi-
rates ununiformed spies and fIee-shooT-
ers. such as John Burns, Of Gettysburg,
really was) Ii respects the enemys
wounded. surgeons. hospitals. etc, and
treats them as 1t does its own. Ii uses
no explosive bullets. and does not poison
we'll or food that may happen 10 fan into
the enemy's hands In other words. the
warfare is civilized as distinguished from
that Of savage peoples
1T NO LONGER EXISTS
Does the Society OF Doctors Commons
in London still exist? II so, are the wills
Of deceased residents Of England Wales,
Scotland. and Ireland on file there. How
long has this been the custom?
The society no longer exists. Founded
In 1861 and chartered in les. II surron-
dered it's charter In 1865. under the pro-
visions OF a law of 1851. by this same
law the wills heretofore kept by the So
clety were distributed TO forty different
district registries These wills were those
OF deceased residents OF England and
Wales. The principal registry OF wills is
in Somerset House, London. and there

WHO FIRED THE FIRST GUN AT

Letter from Gen. Stephen ID. Leo
wish TO correct an error which has
almost PASSED into an historical fact. Ii
is This. That Edmund Rlfiin. OF Virginia,
did not ire the nrst gun at tort sumter,
but that Captain George >. James, OF
South Carolina. afterward killed when a

written 81 the time. and there can be no
mistake as 10 the fact.
The summon Tor the surrender or evac-
uation was carried by Colonel Chestnut.
OF South Carolina. and Captain S. ID.
Lee. They arrived at Sumter at 2;21 =.
NJ, April 18th.
Major Anderson declined TO surrender.

IN few days II he was not knocked 10
pieces by General Beauregard's bate

eral Beauregaro, who informed President
Davis. The result was. q second mes
sage was sent to Major Anderson by
the same officers, accompanied by Roger
a. Pryor, of Virginia. and Colonel CHS

gers arriver at Sumter at l225 A. NJ,
April 18th. Major Anderson was inform
ed that II he would say that he would
surrender on April 18th. and i'm the mean

he would not be allowed TO receive pro-
visions from the United States authori-
ties. The Major declined TO accede TO
this arrangement, saying he would not
open fire unless a hostile act was COM
United against his fort or his flag, but
that II he could be supplied with provi-
sions bcfore the 18th Of April he would
receive them. and in that event he would
not surrender. This reply being unsat-
isfactory. Colonel James Chestnut and
Captain 5. ID. Lee gave the Major a writ

s. g, April y. 1861. 1870 A. NJ" inform
ing him, by authority of General Beaure-
gard, that the batteries OF General Beau
regard would open FIRE on the fort in
one hour from that time.
The party, as designated, then proceed
ed IN their boats TO Fort Johnson, on
James Island. and delivered the order TO
Captain George $. James, commanding
the mortar battery, to open fire on Fort
Sumter. At, 1870 a. NJ. the first gun
was fired at Fort Sumter, and at $40 the
second gun was fired from the same
battery. Captain James offered the hon
or Of firing the first shot 10 Roger A. Pry-
or, OF Virginia. lie declined, saying he
could not fire the first gun. Another Of
iicer then offered 10 take Pryors place.
James replied: mo- will fire it myself"
And he did fire it. AT 4:45 a. NJ, nearly
all the batteries in harbor were firing
on Sumter. Mr.. Edmund Rufiln (who
was much beloved and respected was
at the iron battery on Morris Island. L.
always understood he fired the first gun
from the iron battery, but one thing is
certain-he never fired the first gun
against Fort Sumter. George S. James
did. Nor did he fire the second gun. He
may have fired the third gun, or first
gun from the iron battery on Morris Is
land.
