ONTARIO's GRAPHITE MINES.
Johann Faber Says 1t Is as Good as
the Bohemian Article.


Archibald Blue, director of the On
tario Bureau of Mines, has received
from the Ontario Graphite company
two lead pencils being the first sam
pies, says the Ontario Mail, of Ontario
graphite turned out. Accompanying
the pencils was a letter from Mr. Mec-
tor McRae, secretary of the
company, in which the writer states
that some time ago the company ship
ped samples of it's graphite to Johann
Faber, the famous manufacturer of
lead pencils, in bavaria, and to NJ. o.
Schneired of Nuremberg another large
manufacturer, and in return received
a number of pencils made from the
samples. The manufacturers admit
that. after testing the ontario graphite
they have found it equal to their own
Bohemian graphite, and have given
trial order of forty tons of 1t for
immediate shipment. The company is
the owner of one Of the largest de-
posits in the world, which is situated
in Brougham township, about twenty
five miles west of the town of Rem
frew. 1t has already mined about 470
tons of the mineral, and intends to take
out about 1000 tons more right away

Joined Atlantic division, No. II, Uniform
Rank, in September, 1885, and was elected
recorder the following year In 1888 he
was appointed assistant adjutant general
of the Pennsylvania brigade by Brigader
General S. S. Simmons, and served as such
until General Simmons resigned in 1891.
In 1884, at Harrisburg, Colonel c. L.
Benty, of the Fourth regiment, was
elected brigade commander, and Colonel
Prentiss was appointed assistant judge
advocate general. He served in that ca
pacity until the death OF General Bently
in 1895 and the election of Brigadier Gem
eral Starbird, when he was appointed
chief of staff by General Starbird, which
position he still holds. He is now stu
dent in the law office of A. II. Searle,
esq, at HoneSdale.
Grand Master-at-Arms William Nickel,
of Philadelphia, has not served much in
the offices but has been a most active
member on the floor of Grand lodge con-
ventions. He has served as representa-
tive for eleven years. First for Lodge
No TO- and then for Ledge No. 42. These
two lodges were merged not long ago and
he willy represent the new lodge here.

On becoming eligible, he passed into the
Uniformed Rank soon after serving as
sir knight recorder. Colonel Morgaridge
expects to leave Cory City company and
become a member of Capitol City COM
pany, No. 500 at Harrisburg.
II. A. Gripp, of Tyron, Pa, has the
unique distinction of having organized a
company at that city at his own expense
He is a prominent business man of that
city, and though teing connected with
the Knights of Pythias but a short time
is heart and soul in the work of advanc-
ing the order.
General Starbird and staff set a good
example in living entirely at camp day
and night. The staff is composed of Co..
onel G. d. Prent!ss, chief of staff; Colonel
H. A. Gripp, assistant adjutant general;
r. II. Jackson, judge advocate; Colonel
Edward l.. McGahan, brigade signal Of
ticer; n. Byron, assistant inspector gem
eral Major Gilkeson and Bugler Gensi-
more. The officers compose one friendly
family and with the men are one and
all popular. In the parade yesterday the
appearance of General Starbird and staff
was met with hearty applause.
Perhaps everybody did not notice it, but
the burning of that red light between the
Arab front line and General Starbird and
staff in the parade last night was for the
purpose of purifying the intermediate at
mosphere, tainted as 1t might be by the
PythianS of the lower caste.
Colonel Prtntiss swapped horses while
in the parade yesterday and in direct con-
tradiction to the time-worn warning.
Colonel Prentiss got the better horse. The
other fellow wishes he'd taken long

general averages there is difference of

everything was In a fiourishing condi-
ton. Daniel O'Connell Track, of Kan
sas City, reported for the Kansas
knights of Father Mathew. There
had been no gain in membership, he
said and he attributed this fact to the
hard times and the reluctance of the
clergy to impose additional labor on
themselves by taking an active part
In G. T. A. U. work. Mrs. Lake made
the same complaint.
II. A. Duncan, of Trenton, reported
for the New Jersey state union, stating
in a general way that the movement
was holding its own in his territory.
II severely criticised the New Jersey
officers for not attending the conven-
tion.
Rev. A. p. Doyle reported for New
York that the movement was not maxi
ing much progress, owing to the ex-
istence of so many other and more
working Catholic societies. He made
answer to the charges of Mr. Gleason,
OF Erie, by saying that he personally
met the priests of that diocese and
found every one of them favorable and
even enthusiastic in the establishment
OF c. T. A. u. subordinate union in
the Erie diocesee.

the unions failure to do more effectual
work. He said also that the presence
of the clergy at the meetings would
have a much desired effect on the men,
bers. He regretted to say that there
was opportunity for improvement in
the conduct of the members at the
Sunday meetings and believed they
could learn a valuable lesson from the
Young Mems Christian association.

While Father Scully did not say it
himself it might not be amiss to state
here that he is at the head of the
non-denominational committee, which
has carried on the no-license war in
Cambridgeport.
Rev. j. II. Winters, president of the
Connecticut State union, prefaced his
report by expressing deep qualification
at the kindly treatment the visiting
delegates are receiving at the hands of
the local committee and the considera-
ton shown the convention by Bishop
O'Hara. His union Is numerically
stronger than last year, he said, hav-
ing increased the number of societies
from rs to SS and the membership from

James A. Gleason, of Houtzdale, re-
ported for the Erie Diocesan union and
created somewhat Of a stir by stating
that the priests Of that diocese, as a
rule while not directly opposed are not
favorable to the Catholic Total Absti-
nence union movement. His union was
organized LIST July and has seven So
cieties with membership of $50.
Judge Gibbons, of Chicago, reported
that the Illinois union was in good

the rules of the household, little fellow
Of this town was about to get whipping.
Just as the father was ready to COM
mence operations, the child asked If he
could go into the bed room for a mo-
ment His father told him that he could.
Tiptoeing to the door the man, with the
switch In his hand, saw the little fellow
kneeEng at the bedside and heard him
say:
"Oh, God, If you ever did want to help

answered and the whipping was post
