SUPREME cHANcELLoR,s REPORT.

It shows That the Nights of Pythias
 Are In Good Condition.
 CLEVELAND, Aug. 25.-Following is an abstract of the report of Supreme Chancellor Walter G. Ritchie of the Knights of Pythias:
 "I feel that in the light of business stagnation, which has been general throughout the world the showing made by the order is most remarkable The number of members initiated is proof conclusive that subordinate lodges are active and earnest. We have lost some membership by reason of legisla- tion on the German question, but it is a pleasure to see the loss thus accrued has not been from the better class of Ger mans they have been loyal and true The Catholic questio' has in some of our domains materi; ly lffected us. We have lost some for another reason. In great many of our domains the lodges have begun 8 weedingout process, and have permitted members who have proved undesirable to quietly drop out The enterprise ill the erection of castle halls, ill securing elegant working properties, in the higher regard for membership, have all proven of untold benefit, and l can safely say the order was never upon safer basis than now.
 
 Receipts for the year ending Dec. 3l, 1894, were s4.020. 2S5 for the year end ing Dec. 31, 1895, were s4, 033. .So5, mak- ing the total for two years $S, ,o5s ,o9o. This shows net gain in cash receipts of subordinate lodges. $06. .492.

RAILROAD RACKET.
Number of Railroad Officials in
the city-Mobiles New Road
Seems q Go.

If the presence of an unusual number
of railroad officials in the city Is a cri-
terrain, traffic, both freight and passen-
ger, is on the increase. Among the many
representatives, of railroads noted as be-
ing in the city yesterday were the fol-
lowing:
Col. j. NJ. Culp. general traffic manager
of the Southern, with headquarters in
Washington.
Mr.. Stuart r. Knott, first viee-presi
dent of the Louisville and Nashville, with
headquarters at Louisville.
Maj. w. A. Winburn, general freight
agent of the Central of Georgia, with
headquarters in Savannah.
Mr.. j. A. Dodson, general roadmaster
of the Southern, with headquarters in
Washington.
Capt. G. S. Walker, general Southern
agent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton, with headquarters In Cincinnati.
Col A. d. Mcleod, of the same road,
with headquarters in Cincinnati.
Mr.. E. Schriver, assistant general
freight agent of the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific, with headquar-
ters at Chattanooga.
Col George w. Ely. of the Southern
Pacific, with headquarters in Montgom-
cry.
Mr.. ]. ]. Malone, freight agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, with headquarters
in Louisville.
1t is seldom that so many officials of
different railroads meet in any one city
and their presence here led many to be-
lieve something of Importance was on,
but this was not the case.
MOBILIANS ELATED.
The press as well as citizens of Mobile
are elated over the bright prospects of
the new railroad, the Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City, of which much has been
said lately The survey has long since
been completed and work on the road be-
gan some time ago. but came to halt
owing to the excitement incident to the
election. 1t is now a certainty that work
will be resumed within the present month
and pushed to completion
LINKS AND PINS.
In yesterdays issue appeared an item
which led the public to infer that Mr.
A. Latady was receiver of the East Lake
road. The item did injustice both to
Mr.. Latady and the East Lake company.
That line is not in the hands of re-
ceiver, and Mr.. Latady has control of the
East Birmingham line, which he says
when thoroughly overhauled will be Sec
ond to none in the south.
Rumor has it that the Bessemer, Pow
derby and Birmingham Railroad COM
pany will put on another train in a few
days.
Mr.. Tom Cox left for Montgomery yes
terday morning to accept a position with
the Louisville and Nashville at that place.
Tom is a hustler and a good, reliable
railroader.

ingham Carnival society, in conversa-
ton with State Herald reporter. in

encouraged by the attendance at their
inaugural parade, and the warm words
OF praise by press and public alike, and
have ever since determined to make their
second effort such an unparalleled sue
cess that he entire state will be- proud
of it.
The contractors in charge of the floats
have begun active work on same, and
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. Quarters have been secured
on Tenth avenue, between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets, where the work
can be done without intrusion from the
curious public and to this end orders
have been given to allow no one to enter
where the work Is being done.
In the matter of advertising, President
Lesser stated that elaborate and attracts
i've Autographs were being prepared and
a full corps of reliable men would be
sent to the four points of the compass
to advertise the event. Hand bills and
dodgers are also in the press and will
soon be out. Ample facilities in the
way of lodging and eating houses for
accommodation of visitors will be ar.
ranged for also.
Rates have already been arranged
with the railroads and nothing is wanting
in that direction.
Success to the Carnival society,
President Lesser stated that within the
next ten days the society will have a
meeting to which every citizen Of Birm-
ingham, interested in its welfare, will
be invited At this meeting the program
of the carnival festivities will be laid
before them for their consideration, and
If 1t meets their approval their hearty
cooperation will be asked to the end Of
making 1t a grand success.

The Mckinley ratification meeting In
front of the government building last
night was attended by several hundred

ored population of the city, there not be-
ing over fifty whites present
Before 8 o'clock the anvils began to
signal that the demonstration was brew
ing, and now and then a stray sky
scraper would pierce the air.
There was no boisterous conduct, and
the supporters of Mr.. Mckinley 'jollified"
in very becoming manner.
The meeting was presided over by
Chairman Vaughan, of the republican
state executive committee and the main
speakers were Senator Oscar r. Hundley,
of Huntsville; Col. B. M. Long, of Jas
per, and Judge John B. Shoals, Of De-
catur.
Mr. Hundley made republican speech
in alphabetical order, as though he had
been in training several years, instead of
a few months. He declared that he had
been elected to congress from the Eighth
district, over General Wheeler. and had
been counted out. He said he would con-
test and be seated. He said the demo-
Gratis are for free soup, free trade and

MASKS AND FACES"
DR.. Tupper's Lecture Largely Attended
Last Night-He Receives a
Bouquet.

The lecture MASKS and Faces" by
Rev. T. C. Upper at Fox's hall last even
ing was well attended and much en-
joyed. The ladies of ST. Agnes Guild of
the Church of the Advent were the pa
tronesses, and Mrs. Robert Newman was
the immediate representative. The eX-
ercises were preluded by violin solos by
Prof. Wiegand, and piano solo by Miss
Gockel. Rev. Mr.. Murray introduced
the lecturer. DR.. Topper spoke of the
custom of Greek actors in wearing a
mask to represent the countenance of
the character they personified. The
word person comes from per, through,
and soma, a mask, to look through a
mask. The wearing of masks by actors
was necessary on account of the large
audiences, and lorgnettes were not
known at that time. Several of the
greatest dramatists of the world were
Greeks. The tragedy of today is diff
ferent from that of the Grecian stage,
ton, at the end of which a goat was sa-
crificed. The word tragedy comes from
two Greek words. meaning goat and song.
The word comedy means a village ode.
The lecturer then spoke of the masks
in every day life. He pictured the peo-
Hyde. He lifted the mask from society,
and showed its double facedness.
He then spoke of historical resem-
blances and realities. He referred to
Napoleon, the victor at Austerlitz, who
was stung to madness because the old
French nobility refused to receive him
socially. He closed with graphic il
lustration of the clown, who left his dy
ing wife to crack his jokes in the ring.
At the conclusion of the lecture, DR..
Topper was presented with a bouquet
from the ladies of St. Agnes. The ex-
raic oil nd !, IxrA NJ GhF
fin, who graciously responded to an en-
core,
