UNITED WORKMEN
The Grand Lodge in Session at San
Francisco

The Grand Lodge in Session at San
Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-The grand
lodge Of California, Anucient Order of
United Workmen, convened here today for
its twenty-first annual session.
Grand Master Workman Winter called
the meeting to order.
The first business transacted was the
appointment of Grand Overseer George II.
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Grand Foreman A. F. Mackay of Los An
geles.
E. F. JOY, Past Grand Workman of No.
30, was advanced to the position of Grand
Overseer through the promotion of George
Bahrs. The grand lodge was then for
mally opened with the usual ceremonies
A recess was. then declared to allow the
committee on credentials to report, after
which a large number of Past Master
Workmen were introduced and the Grand
Lodge degree conferred upon them.
The grand lodge journal of 1897 was &C.
cepted without reading.
Following came the annual reports SUBJ
to the committee on distribution.
A pleasant feature of the morning ses-
sion was the presentation of the surviving
members of the grand lodge of 1897. They
were introduced by Past Grand Master
William H. Barnes, and welcomed by
Grand Master Winter. An appropriate re-
Spouse was then made by William H. Jor-
dan, Past Grand Master Workman.

dependence. The withholding of this rec
ommendation is not because Of indifference
to the Cuban cause, but 1t is based upon the
fact, as the President Views It, that the
insurgents have not established any gov
eminent Of their own. or such a govern
ment at least as would warrant the United
States. under the we'll defined principles Of
International law, in taking such a step.
Is is urged in support of this view that
by recognizing Cuba as an independent
government, the United States must under
certain circumstances be placed at great
disadvantage. In case this government
should take possession Of the island and
the insurgents should see fit to infiict capt.
tai punishment upon members of the pres
ent autonomist government or other per-
sons for whom they might have enmity,
this government, having recognized their
independence would then be powerless to
prevent any action the Cuban government
might see fit to take. The better and
safer way, it Is argued, would be for the
United States to take control of the Is
land, IL necessary to prevent further
bloodshed and administer its affairs, or
at least supervise its administration in
the interest of justice and humanity until
Spain and Cuba themselves, If possible,
have settled the whole question. What
further action shall be taken will be die
tated by the facts and conditions as they
present themselves.
The situation of our consular officers, 1t
was thought, required that care be exer-
cised on their behalf. The cabinet had this
matter under discussion. What conclu-
sions were reached cannot be stated, but
1t is known arrangements have been per-
fected by which they are to leave the is
land within a very short time.
A telegram was received today from
Minister Woodford expressing the regret
Of the Spanish Cabinet that the erroneous
dispatch had been published that the Pope
had agreed to mediate between Spain and
the United States at the suggestion Of this
country.

His subordinates admire, respect,

you still felt the steel stiffening OF

A Generous Journalist.

One of the distinguishing features
OF the late James Payn was that he
was never heard to say an i'll natured
word OF anyone. He had his likes
and his dislikes, and he was quick to
condemn any baseness OF conduct,
nor was he slow to express his dis
approval OF certain of the literary
tendencies of the age. But personal
luminosity never inspired his judg
ments upon his fellow-creatures, and
he was always better pleased to
praise than to blame. When he dis
covered new writer and found that
he had real merit he was eager to
proclaim his discovery to the world.
No miserable jealousy ever stood in
the way Of his recognition of merit
on the part Of another writer. Eng
lish letters have lost in him a very
distinguished figure, but the literary
world of to-day has lost something
more-one who was universally liB ed
aud universally esteemed, who was
worthy Of the affection and respect
which he inspired among all who
came in contact with him emy8s

In March, l796, the sheriffs of the
territory which is now Tennessee took
a census of their own, and as there were
60, 600 citizens of proper age the terri
tory declared itself state, proceeded to
choose a governor, q congressman aud
a Legislature, which selected two United
States senators. Congress, then in ses-
sion in Philadelphia, had received no
information regarding the action in the
territory until congressman and sena-
tors walked i'll unlimited and announced
that a state had been born, had elected
its officers, made its laws and was run
ming on scheduled time.
Congress was disconnected and mott.
fed the applicants that the sheriff's
census was irregular and they must
wait at least for an invitation before
they proceeded to sit at the federal ta-
BILE. Upon second thought congress de-
cided to be courteous, and on June /
admitted Tennessee, nearly three months
after she had become state by her own
action. This state. whose coming into
the Union was little previous, was
the third state i'll the Union to provide
president for the Union and the first
outside the original 10, and with one
exception the only state south of the

president and she has provided three,

Captain Kidd In Story and In Fact.
Among all the pirates who have fig
ured in history, legend or song there is
one whose name stands pre-eminent in
America AS the typical hero of the
dreaded black flag. The name of this
man will instantly come to the mind of
almost every reader, for when we speak
of pirates we usually think of Captain
Kidd
In fact, however, Captain Kidd was
not typical pirate, for in many ways
he WAS different from the or binary ma
rine freebooter, especially when we con-
slider him in relation to our own coun-
try All other pirates who made them
selves notorious on our coast We're
known as robbers pillagers and ruth
less destroyers of life and property, but
Captain Kidd's fame was of another
kind We do not think of him as a
pirate who came to carry away the
property of American citizens, for near
ly all the stories about him relate to his
arrival at different points on our shores
for the sole purpose of hiding the rich
treasures which he had collected in 9TH
or parts OF the world.
This conld not fail to make Captain
Kidd most Interesting parsonage. and
the result has been that he has been
lifted into the region Of legendary 70.
