NIiOl0| Headquarters.
Hermann SOBS Will Be In San
Antonio.
Texas Delegates Carried The Nation
al Convention By Storm And
Secured All HOnOrS.

San Antonio is now the National
headquarters of the rand Lodge OF
Hermann Sons of the United States
and Texas has two of the National
Grand Lodge officers.
The National Grand Lodge has just
closed it's session in New Ulm, MIMI,
and at this meeting the move to change
the National headquarters 20 San An
TOM, was decided on. At this meet
ing Judge julius Schuetze, of Austin,
Grand President of the order for the
State of Texas, was elected Grand
Pre-, dent of the National Grand lodge,
and Mr.. John Bauer, of this city,
Grand Secretary of the state lodge for
Texas, was elected Grand Secretary of
the National Lodge.
This was ell accomplished owing to
Texas large representation at the
meeting, 173 lodges being represented
from this state, that being the total
number of lodges in Texas. Texas de-
serves these honors, as this state has
by far the largest representation OF
lodges of any state in the union.
for the lodge, as we'll, and no more
able exponent of the cause of the
Hermann Sons can be found than the
father of the lodge in this state, Judge
Julius Schuetze, who has just had new
honors heaped upon him in being ex-
allied to his new and enviable posi-
ton.
The state lodges heaped all honors
possible on this great patron saint OF
theirs and then sent a delegation to
the National convention large enough
to heap still greater honors on him.
Mr.. Bauer, who was elected Grand
secretary of the National lodge, and
who is a resident of this city, is also a
great worker for the benefit of the
lodge, and it is with extreme graft
fication that his large host of brothers
and friends receive the news of his
new exaltation.
The Hermann Sons lodge is COM
paratively a new institution in Texas,
having only been organized few
years, but since it's organization its
benefits have been so readily recognize
ed that it has grown like the proverbial
beanstalk.
II is lOuBe COInpOSeu VI the UoSe
element of the German-American popu-
lation of the country and there is hard
ly a German in this city who is not a
member of this growing lodge.
1t has been the ambition of the work.
ers in organization, such as Judge
Schuetze, and others, to build up the
lodge in this state and make 1t
powerful enough to carry by vote all
the honors to the state, and they have
succeeded admirably in their under
taking.
The headquarters will be moved here
in a very short while, when they will
add one more star to San Antonio's
already large galaxy, secured by her
boosted push and enterprise.
The German-American citizen, when
he undertakes thing, goes about it in
a modest, unpretentious way, but al
ways succeeds in the end. This is the
way in this event. No noise what
ever was made before hand, but the
ballot accomplished their intentions
and can now do their trumpet blast
ing.

king of the heavens retires to rest
upon this hemisphere, and also at
the time he rests upon the other
side of the world the new year,
5658 of the Hebrew calendar will
begin. The day is'especially cele-
brated in this religion as feast
day. The Hebrew name is Rosh
Hashonah, although the Penta-
touch where it was first ordained,
calls it only by the names of yom
Teruah, the "blowing of the trun-
pet' and yom HazzikOran,
"memorial."
The Day of Axonement, Yom
Kippur, is the conclusion of the
New Year observance, and is cele-
brated as il implies, in fasting
and penanee, week later.

Star Pointer and Joe Patchen
to Race at st. Joe.
An Attempt Will be Made to
Lower the Record.
''Pittsburg Phil" is Behind $4,000
on This Seasons Races-Counter-
felt Tickets for Temple
Cup Series.

st. Joe. Oct. 1S-star Pointer, the king
of PAGERS, and gallant Joe Patchen, his
greatest rival, have been shipped to St.
Joseph. where an attempt at record
breaking will be made tomorrow after
noon on the one mile track in this city.
The weather and the track are in ex-
cellent condition for a record breaking
contest and NIcClary and Dickerson, the
trainers and drivers of these pacing won
ders, are sanguine of a close call of the
record. Ever since the wonderful per-
formance of Pointer at ReadvilIe, Mass,
on August IS last, when he stepped off a
mile in the phenomenal time of 1854, the
interest that has enveloped this animal
has amounted to almost a halo of venera-
tion. The owner of Patchen is just as
confident as it is possible for an owner
to be that his horse has the two minute
speed in him and is but awaiting the day
and the hour when it will come to the
surface. Besides the great race between
Pointer and Patchen there will be a 2:25
pace, d 2:15 trot and two running races.

1T GREW TOO FAST.
Alaskan Business Caught the Govern
ment Unprepared for It

Washington, Oct. 3.-Information
received at the treasury department
from Captain TuttIe of the revenue cut
ter Bear, now cruising in Alaskan wa
ters, does not paint a rosy description
of scenes and prospects in the KIOndike
region. Writing from st. Michael,
September 16, Captain Tuttle says:
There are in port seven sea-going
vessels and six river steamers, with one
barge in process of construction on the
beach. About 300 people are encamped
on the beach awaiting the completion
of these vessels. At least seven YES
sells are expected to arrive, many OF
them with passengers. There is no
possible chance of these people reaching
the upper Yukon this season, and they
must winter here or at some point in
side the mouth of the Yukon. While
there will be an abundance of provis-
ions, the trading companies having
their main depOts here, trouble is like
ly to arise from those who have no pro-
visions and no means to purchase
them. This, however, is a small matter
when taken into consideration with
matters above Fort Yukon on the Yu-
kon river.
"On September 13 the river steamer
Hamilton returned from its trip, hav-
ing been unable to reach Circle City,
Captain Hill reported the river so low
as to prevent his reaching his destina-
tiOn. His cargo was landed on the riV-
er bank. The steamers J. J. HeaIy, p.
n. Weare, Alice Bella and Marguerite
are now up the river but the prospects
are tney VIII not De aDle TO Teach Clr-
Gle City or Dawson.
Laws in regard to the inspection of
steam vessels are entirely disregarded,
and no inspector of hulIs or boilers has
visited this place. At least sixteen
such vessels are now running in this
part of Alaska. If I should seize them
starvation would ensue to those who
are depending upon these vessels to
bring them provisions. At the same
time hundreds of people are travelling
on these vessels, which are without the
safeguards to life that the law provides
they shall have.
"A deputy collector Of customs is sta
toned at st. Michael, who is required
to attend to all customs business. Ere
Quently there are several vessels in
port discharging bonded goods at the
same time. 1t is impossible for one
man to attend to all this business At
ter leaving st. Michael there is no Gus
toms officer in charge of these goods
Vessels frequently get aground and it
is necessary to discharge their cargoes
before they can be hOated. Great op-
pOrtunities are offered to defraud the
customs. There should be a customs
officer on every vessel carrying bonded
goods and provision should be made to
have the vessels inspected as the law
requires

PROBLEM OF THE NEGRO.
Discussed by George T. Downing Be
fore a Boston Society.

Boston, Oct 13.-GeOrge T. Downing,
the colored orator of Newport. r. l.,
read a paper on The Negro Problem
at the meeting of the New England
Genealogical Society yesterday
afternoon.
He made an eloquent and fervid plea
for the cOlOred race, saying that the
negro problem had an intimate relation
to the scientific questions now being
discussed by the advanced schools Of
thought.
That race prejudice should be abol-
ished, he said, was now the honest con-
victiOn of the nOblest representatives of
Christianity.
With the mingling of the races would
come a new type of civilization. It was
needfuI that the negro, with his spirit
Ual tendencies and heart elements,
should form an essential part of the
composite man yet to come into being.
Harmony and homegeneity will come
through trial, misrepresentation and
martyrdom. A brighter day awaits the
coIOred race in America, when the col
or line shall be lost sight Of forever.
The speaker showed that the negro had
made marvellous progress despite his
birth in slavery, his environments, his
lack of education and horrible treat
ment; that he was capable of high
attainments in art, science and litera-
ture, and ready to be swayed by the
noblest moral and religious forces.

COOPER UNION TOO SMALL
To Hold the Crowd at the Opening of
the Socialists Campaign in
New York

New York, Oct. 1S.-Lucien Saniel, the
socialist labor candidate for mayor, open
ed his campaign at Cooper Union last
night In the large crop of mayoralty
candidates Mr. Saniel has been almost
lost sight of, yet he attracted a bigger
audience than that which ratified the
nomination of Tracy and that addressed
by Seth Low, and almost as large as the
one which nominated Henry George.
Mr.. Saniel is a Frenchman, but his ora
tory is not affected because he has not
mastered the language.
The platform was decorated with red
flags. There was about as much en-
thusiasm as marks the average political
meeting. He bitterly assailed the other
candidates for mayor, Henry George far
ing no better than the rest. Daniel Nc
Leon also addressed the meeting. There
were overflow meetings on the outside
which were addressed by a number OF
socialist orators.

WORLDS FAIR MODEL.
Weary of Life Commits Suicide
in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 13.-According to the
Globe-Democrat, Nellie Norman, the
pretty 23-year-OId girl who committed sui
eide here yesterday by taking dose of
carbolic acid. was Nellie Anderson. a for
mer belle of Fresno, Cal, whose father
is one of the wealthiest men living
there.
Her story is a most romantic, and in
some respects, unusual one Several
years ago she ran away with, and married
against the wishes of her parents. Matt
MitvOwich, one of her fathers gardeners.
They went to Stockton, where her father
found them. He took the blow as philo>
sophically as possible and set his son-in-
law up in business. Two weeks later he
heard that his daughter had left her hus-
band and gone east. 1t became known
afterwards from a letter sent by Nellie
to her mother that she had gone to Chi
cago, where she got employment in a
cloak house. This she left some time
afterwards because of an insult offered
by an employer. Mrs. Nellie then be
came an artists model, and as such she
was in great demand because of her beau
ty. She posed for one artist, the accept
ance of whose medallion over that of other
artists, undoubtedly superior, caused deal
of trouble in the Worlds fair board. It
was while posing for artists that the girl
maintained she was ruined. Then she
changed her name to Nellie Norman.
The sculptor whose works of art on the
transportation building of the Worlds
fair are well remembered, had been
searching in vain for a suitable model for
one of the figures in his group ''Naviga-
ton" He finally selected Nellie Nor
man. who became famous as a model.
Her Bohemian life, however. was too
much for her and in six months the for
mer model which artists had raved over
was gone and her beauty faded-and then
there was but one course left open to her
She followed it.
Some time after the Worlds fair closed
Nellie Norman came here and applied
for aid at the Hephzibah home, where
she was received on a promise to reform.
She became i'll and was taken to the city
hospital, where she wrote to her father
in California for help. The reply she
received said that her mother was dead,
and that because of the life she was liv-
ing the father could not have his daugh-
ter return to his roof. Nellie drifted
again into her fast life. and becoming sick
and discouraged, finally decided to end
the struggle by death.

TO RELP DEMOCRATS.
Postmaster Dayton Will Go on the
Henry George Ticket.

New York. Oct. 13-The Herald says:
Charles w Dayton, formerly post
master, is likely to become the candi-
date for comptroller on the Democratic
ticket of which Henry George is the
head.
Mr.. Dayton can have this nomination
if he will take it. He will take it if he
becomes convinced that his candidacy
will prove a "unifying force" among
Democrats.
Mr. Dayton, instead of Col George E.
Waring, is the man whose nomination
for comptroller is devoutly wished for
by the managers of Henry Georges s
campaign. There is a strong desire
among the George men to have Col
Waring go upon the ticket. But the
commissioner of street cleaning as well
as the George men seems to understand
that if Mr.. Dayton will consent, he and
not Col Waring is to be the man chosen
to make the race.

WAITER co. MAY COME DOWN
A Way Open by Which it May Ac-
cede to the City's Wishes.

The final adjustment of the trouble
with the Topeka Water company is not
far off if appearances count for any
thing.
p c. HOrd, the representative of the
Water company and the committee on
sewers and water works of the city
council have held several conferences
and it is probable that an agreement
will be reached before the next meeting
of the council. The committee must
report its action to the council but it
is probable that whatever the report is
it will be adopted.
The basis upon which an agreement
is suggested is that the Water company
extend its mains to give the additions
fire protection and reduce the hydrant
rental; to pay the tax in the city instead
of in Topeka township as is now done;
to compromise the $6, 900 claim on ac-
count of the South Topeka hydrants;
to put stop to all pending litigation.
The company has been holding for a
price of $50 per hydrant on the extern
sions of mains but is probable that
they will agree to the price of $25 asked
by the council. The regular price un-
der the ordinance is $50 per hydrant.
The tax paid by the company is no
small item. If it is paid in the city
where it should be it means $4,000 per
annum added to the city funds. The
S. 900 claim for rental of South Topeka
hydrantS which is now in litigation
the company will compromise for half
Councilman Nettels and other mem
bers who live in suburbs are anxious to
make the compromise on account of
there being no fire protection and no
water available. Other members of
the council are tired of the litigation
which has already extended over pc
riOd of five years without any satisfac-
tory result and are willing to comprOm-
Use on some reasonable basis.
The franchise will expire by Iimita-
tion in four years more and it is not
probable that the city will gain any
thing in that time unless it will be
fat expense account in the courts.
Mr.. HOrd said today that the pres
ent company is not only anxious to
adjust it's differences with the city but
is willing to make many material con
cessiOns. Litigation is expensive" said
he, "and 1 will admit that we are anx-
ious to avoid it as much as possible.
We are willing to do everything posi-
BILE to fix up matters and if the council
will only meet us with something of
the same spirit I believe we will be
able to come to some agreement"
The council committee will hold an
other meeting Friday evening to COM
plete the terms of the compromise If
possible.

ROBBED BALL PLAYERS.
Counterfeit Tickets for the Temple
Cup Games in Abundance.

Boston. Oct. 13.-It has come to light
that when the Boston base ball club
made its returns for the Temple cup
games that have been played in this
city, it was found that from 1000 to
!, 200 counterfeit tickets had been print
ed and sold, causing a loss to the play
ers of about $500 The printer who did
the work on these counterfeit tickets
madc a slight error, and it was due to
this that the discovery was made. In
speeding the word grounds the letter
first caused the Boston club to think
something was wrong. These tickets
were sold outside the grounds, and were
bought by many, in preference to tax
ing position in line at the bOX-Office
and being obliged to wait perhaps half
an hour or more. One of the Boston
club said last night that the club felt it
sons who thus tried to rob the players,
and, if detected, the club would push
the case as hard as possible.
