Genteel Poverty i'm Washington.

fore as exists in Washington, D. c." writes
Cabinet members wife in the January La

many of these department clerks tremble in
their boots for fear Of losing their positions
with change Of administration and enforce
ment of the civil service rules. The depart

other occupation. You would be surprised
to know how many of the fashionable society
men are department clerks. Some Of the
most attractive among them geta majority of
their meals out of society. They rent room
for small amount, and dine out every night,
frequently getting a lunch or breakfast
from friend. In return, they make it their

FOUND DEAD NEAR CONCORD.
Old Man Supposed to he Jack Nipper
Frozen to Death,

Concord, Tenn, Dec. ga party of hun
ters discovered horrible sight half mile
west OF this place this afternoon, when they
found an old man, apparently about seventy
years of age, covered with mud, lying near a
creek, dead.
When discovered, the members of the par
ty were OF the opinion that he had been kill
ed In a fight with some one, as there were
numerous signs of struggle around him.
The men who discovered him hastened to
this place and made the necessary affidavit
for jury OF inquest and jury in charge OF
Squire Price mstened to the scene.
The old man passed through Concord yes
terday afternoon and after an examination OF
all the witnesses who had seen him 1t was the
verdict OF the jury that he came to his death
from fatigue, cold and hunger.
The remains were brought here tonight
and prepared for burial, No positive identi-
fication has been made and they will be kept
until tomorrow morning.
Deceased is supposed to be Jack Nipper,
father of Bill Nipper, who lives in 'Possum
Valley about five miles from this place.
Jack Nipper has been in the Blount County
poor house for some time and it is supposed
that he was on his way to the home of his
son. When the old gentlemen passed thro'
Concord yesterday afternoon he was drench-
ed with the rain and so feeble that he could
scarcely walk. He made Inquiries about
kO 4 l.
left town along the railroad.
Evidently he lost his way as he was found
lying almost in Turkey Creek, some. distance
from the road. His sufrerings must must
have been terrible as he had dragged himself
along on the ground for several yards and
the earth was torn up for several feet around
where he lay cold in death.

The Browbeating of Witnesses

The comments Of many correspondents of
this paper on the action Of a juror in pro-
testing against the severity of the cross ex-
animation Of a woman are evidences of wide
spread feeling Of discomfort with methods
altogether too prevalent In our court rooms.
The purpose of some processes of extracting
evidence seems to be to prevent a witness
from telling "the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth" and to frighten.
confuse or irrltate him into saying some
thing that will be misconstrued by a Jury.
Some lawyers are in the habit of walking
close upt the witness stand, staring at
witnesses, shaking their fingers at them, and
addressing them very much as Simon Legree
addresses his slaves in the very cheerful
drama Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" A good
many spectators at trials wonder under
what lava lawyer Is permitted to assume
this attitude toward a person who is nof
criminal nor social outcast, but who Is in
the witness stand in the performance Of a
duty Of great value to the community and
the State. The most disagreeable feature of
wiz p'JiO Va Pi'SONuihb 10 10 ueucl COWdIulCt.
There are very few lawyers who would
venture to address men in such rude man
ner outside Of a court room, and without tho
protection of a judge. When they address
women so, they simply aggravate their Of
Tense. Surely the evidence in any case can
be obtained by methods more suitable to the
dignity Of the court room. Judges should
protect witnesses, who are generally afraid
to make protest for fear of being adjudged
guilty Of contempt of court.-.New York

Americas Approaching Supremacy in
the Worlds Markets.

The balance in favor of the United States in
the trade OF the past year with Europe has
been of stupendous dimensions. This is due
chiefly to the foreign demand for our bread
stufrs and other food supplies. In view Of
the strengthened tariff barrier which makes
1t more difficult than ever for Europe to send
her manufactures to us in payment for bread
and meat, cotton and petroleum, there is
much uneasiness in trade circules abroad,
and not little open and clustering talk Of a
combination Of the whole continent Of Eu-
rope for the economical suppression OF the
United States. Among responsible states
men Count Goluohowski, the Foreign Minis
ter OF Austria, has been the most conspicu-
ously identified with such threats. The puz-
zling thing is to invent mode of retaliation
that will not hurt the European people them
serves very much worse than they can pos
sibly hurt the United States. England, of
course, for long time has been reconciled
to the idea of importing the larger part of
her food supply. But since the United States
has begun to compete so formidably in manu-
factures there has arisen no little consterna-
ton in the British mind. Many signs point
to the passing of the scepter ofindustrial su-
premacy from Great Britain to the United
States. Ta- year 1897 has witnessed the easy
triumph Of the American makers of steel

The Art OF Advertising.

A contemporary comments on the extent
to which the art Of newspaper advertising
has been improved Of recent years. This is
because more attention has been paid to it,
and those who make business of present
ing advertising in It's best form have been
employed to prepare advertisements. There
is still good deal of money wasted in ad-
vertising but very little of it is lost in news
paper advertising where the work is done
with skill and judgment. The newspaper
was never more the natural and effective
method of communication between those
who desire to sell and those who desire to
buy than it now is. 1t is easy to point out
those who are successful in trade as making

been noted at Springfield, OF this State, in
which an advertiser employed clergyman

preachers sermons. This was bold step
in another direction but We doubt II 1t paid
The instance was so extraordinary that the
motive of the man who undertook to do the
advertising was readily suspected. Tho

lures of iron and steel are underselling
British products, not only in neutral mar.
kets, but also in the United Kingdom. Recent
reports of the rapid exhaustion of England's
coal supply have added to the prevailing
alarm. The advantage which American
manufacturers nave gained is due not mere
ly to the superiorityof our natural resources
as respects the deposits OF iron ore and COAL
but also to the vast scale upon which our
industries are organized and the superiority
of their appliances. "The Progress Of

DESPERATE CAUGHT.
Deputy Marshal Boyer had Narrow
Escape from Death.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 23.-Deputy United
States Marshal H. C. Boyer, of Newport, mar
rowly escaped death Tuesday night at the
hands OF a Cooke County desperate. Boyer
was attempting to arrest Bill Cutshall on a
warrant charging him with violation of the
revenue laws. Cutshall, who is regarded as
most daring man, had learned that Boyer
was after him, and was accordingly prepared
to give the officer warm reception. When
the deputy marshal appeared upon the scene
Cutshall leveled his Colt revolver at him and
was in the act Of firing whom Boyer closed
in upon him and succeeded in overpowering
the desperado Cutshall was taken to New
port, where he was placed in the Cooke coun-
ty jail. He will be brought to this city today
and placed in the Knox county jail to await
trial at the next term of Federal court.

BIGGER STILL.
Later Reports are That Bitner's Liza.
bilities Will BE $4,000.

According TO reports yesterday. the liabili-
ties of Geo. M, Bitner, tho poultry dealer,
are far more than $25,0OO and will reach
$4,000.
A travelling man who was in Greenevllle
on Tuesday says that excitement ran high
there for while and trouble was feared.
Bitner, he states, was arrested on warrant,
charging him with receiving poultry under
false pretenses. He promptly gave bond.
Pid Stokes, who accompanied Bitner's big
poultry shipment to the east, arrived here
yesterday on his return. The excitement
here was new to him. He says that he had
nothing to do with the matter except to ac-
company the shipment to the east to see that
it reached its destination safely. 1t was his
impression that Bitner would collect by
draft through the banks with which he has
done business.-Dristol Courier.

THE VICTORY OF WOMAN SUFF-
RAGE IN IDAHO.

Rachel Foster Avery. Philadelphia
To those who have borne the heat and
burden of the fifty years of struggle
for the political emancipation of wo-
men, the wandering i'm the wilderness
of diSfranchisement." as Miss Anthony
has characterized it,, the victory of to-
day must signify infinitely more than
iJ can mean for the younger women
who have come into this battle but q
few years ago. Does it not seem the
very irony of fate that our far western
sisters who, with but few exceptions
have come lately into the army, are
the ones to reap first the advantages to
come TO women through their attain
ment Of political freedom, the first to
enter the promised land of equality Of
opportunity with men?
Z OF course we all know that whatever
these new voters may do. they viii be
+ jealousy watched and severely Criti-
cised by the enemies of our cause; that
may not be avoided. but if they vote
according 20 their best Judgment and
with an honest desire to become help
. ers Of whatever makes for righteous
ness they will hasten the day when
we TOO may enter into the kingdom of
the enfranchised.
/ When we won in Colorado q few
/ years ago, we felt that we had a great
victory. but in Idaho our majority has
been still larger. Because of some
doubt as 20 whether an amendment de-
manded a majority of all the votes
which might have been cast at that
election. the matter had 20 be referred
I 20 the Supreme Court of Idaho. i'm
which case Kate Green was the petit
TONER. Fortunately for us the court
has rendered it's decision with great
prOmptness. and we now know that we
are one step nearer the end of our
struggle to place i'm the hands of all
women the right which under our form
| of government guarantees all other
Irights-the ballot.
This to MS and TO all who think with
MS means that the time of peace and
good Will to men is being brought
nearer. One hour of justice is worth
seventy years Of prayer is as true now
as when it was first uttered. and Amer
I lean wOmanhOCd is awakening TO q
/ knowledge of it's truth. The right to
/ have q wOman's opinion counted at the
/ ballot box means added respect for wO-
manhood everywhere: IL means the
representation of the home in politics;
/ 10 means a renewed interest on the part
of good men when they can so to the
polls accompanied 10y the women Of
their household; it means that the
country is to be "mothered' a little
and the rights of the children are to be
considered i'm preference to the rights
of the almighty dollar. To means that
the great questions which are every
where pressing for settlement are no
longer to be settled 10y the male half
Of humanity alone. but by judgment
which shall no longer divide the man
and the woman. but shall give equal
consideration to- the opinions of both.

Oxford, again says: THE work for
the care of the orphanage is one which
/ honestly believe-and ! speak with
reverence-the very angels of God
would rejoice to participate in; but as
grand and holy and as beneficient as
il is. Masonry has done greater things
for the good of humanity than these.
A claim has been made that the
happy issue of the English Revolution
OF 1858, which deprived the worst enc
my of modern times of his throne, and
gave civil and religious liberty to the
English speaking world, was due in
no small measure to the well matured
and carefully concealed plans of the
Masons of Holland. In the person OF
General Washington 1t fought the bat
ties Of the American Revolution, and
helped to establish in this free land OF
ours an asylum for the desolate and
oppressed of every cline. In later
period. it assisted Garibaldi in depriv-
ing the Pope of his temporal power,
and in placing Victor Emanuel Ia Ma
SOM, upon the throne Of Italy. Al
ways and everywhere it has stood for
liberty of conscience and security
against wrong and oppression.
In our own day, and in many States
of our country, what a noble work
Masonry has done, and what noble
duty they are daily performing rela-
tive to the welfare of the orphans OF
our deceased brothers who have enter
ed into rest. The love of little child
rem is the purest and tenderest OF all
human emotions. Fresh from God
creative d-uncontaminated by the
many vices of the world, they break
the incrustations of selfshness; they
touch the Mason's heart with divine
polarity, and are themselves ike the
inhabitants of the heavenly world
whose ministry is to surround the
throne of the Grand Master of the
Celestial Lodge above.
Hundreds of these little ones the
Grand Lodges of our country have
searched for and found in the high
wavs and hedges Of our great land,
fed them. clothed them. taught them OF
the love of God, of the purity Of wo-
man of the sacredness of home,and
the blessed fruits of the purity OF Nv
ing. 49,.
brethren of West Virginia, is there
rot in our little Mountain State some
similar duty for us to do, for the bene,
fit of the orphans that are to be found
within the bonds Of our obligation TO-
wards each other as Masons, and the
bounds of our lodges? If so, then we
cannot say that Masonry has accom-
nIished in our State. what it was estab-
iisbed TO perform, ito Colour nelgh-
bor. and to ourselves.

KNIGHTS IF PYTHIAs.

At Black Prince Lodge, on last TUESDAY
night. there was only one candidate on
hand for the honors Of the second rank
and he got the full benefit of the work in
the presence of a large number of mem
hens and visitors. There was an accumula-
ton of other business to be attended TO-
and the lodge did not close until late
hour.
Three of the seven members who nave
been on the sick list were reported We'll
and the others convalescent.
A committee was appointed 10 make a
arrangements for ball to be held on Eastel
Monday night, and as they have lots oil
time before them, there is no doubt they
will get up a first class affair.
Several new applications for membership
were received and work in the ranks Is as
sured for next month.
There does not seem to be any yearnnS
on the part Of the membership for infor-
nation on the various subjects mentioned
in last Sundays paper, as there was not a
single question for the question box II
is hoped that the brothers will make use oil
this privilege, and try to make the meet
ings more interesting.
We often have questions brought to us
secondhand. For instance, brother
wishes to know how he stands on the books
of the lodge. and gets another brother to
ask for the information. Now, there is no
excuse for any member who lives in street
car distance of the Castle Hall to remain
in ignorance on this point. Come 10 the
lodge which is the proper place to find out
what you want to know. Remember, we
have a large hall, and there is plenty Of
room for the entire membership. Get into
the habit of coming regularly, and you will
certainly be repaid by the Improvement in
our meetings which a large attendance
would create.
on mex Thursday there will be work in
the third rank, and we will be glad TO see a
good representation from all the other
lodges in this vicinity.
