FORTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
Celebrated by Gerinania Lodge No. 7s
 O O. F Last Night

Celebrated by Germania Lodge No. 7S,
 I. o. o. F., Last Night.
 Forty-five years ago yesterday Ger mania lodge No. IS of the Odd Fellows was organized in this city, and of the charter members there is at present only one alive. That one fs George H. Schiller. and he is still hale and hearty The present members of the lodge deemed the occasion of the anniversary a fitting one for a celebration, and it was held last night. A regular meet ing was held first in their hall in the Odd Fellows building on Crown street. The lodge at present is In fine condition and seems to have taken on new life. The reports of the secretary and treas- urer were very encouraging.
 The meeting was adjourned to Wei sand's cafe on Court street, where a royal good time was had. Speechmak- ing and feasting were the order of the evening, while an itinerant contortion- ist furnished much amusement for all present.
 The whole affair was in charge of the officers of the lodge, who are: Noble grand. F. Woehler; vice grand, S. Aal; secretary, G. Behr; treasurer Car Henze: financial secretary, Frederick Roese

long, showed discrepancy between the two measures of not more than half an inch. The two sets of observ-
 CTS were each so anxious to get out the results first that as soon as calcu-
 lated they mailed the length, or rather the logarithm, and the two letters crossed each other on the road which shows that there was no fixing up the figures in reaching this remarkable re- suit
 "The International Geodetic Associ- ation is studying the effect of refrac-
 tion and alteration, the variation of latitude and other kindred subjects At the next meeting in October they will take up the variation of latitude, and the idea Is to determine this by having four international stations all on the same parallel of latitude, which is go- | ing to be 39 degrees s minutes, little north of ashington, near Rockville, Md Two of these stations will be in | the United States, one in the East and one in the West, one in Japan and one in Sicily. The Coast Survey will have charge of the two in the United States; all the observations will be reduced in ! Europe under the direction of central
 bureau. When the Coast Survey stud jed these problems before, in conjunc- ton with the Germans, each govern | ment sent man to Honolulu, and an- 1 other man from each was stationed at I Berlin. They observed every night, when they could get stars, for two l years, and the two men at Honolulu
 and the two men at Berlin brought | back results so opposite in character as fully to establish the fact that there | was slight vibratory motion of the l pole, independent of the regular move-
 ment of the earth. Its period is APT
 days It has been known since 1888, | but we can go back to observations
 made forty years ago and see the ef | feet of the same fact. Nobody was then bold enough to say that the lati- 1 tude changes, for that is what the
 movement of the pole means. Mir. S. c. l Chandler of Boston, editor of the Astronomical Journal, is the best au- | thority in this country on the polar motion He made observations with an instrument floating in mercury, so as to avoid having to make the correc- 1 tion for level, and made some very ac- curate observations. After he had
 registered them, he seemed to think there was evidence that the latitude
 changed, since that was theonly way he could explain certain discrepancies 1 in his results, but he did not make the 1 assertion absolutely. The ermans ex- amined the matter very closely and | from continued observations for two | years announced in about 1888 that the | latitude changed. This, which was at
 first received with incredulty, is now ! admitted on all sides.
 | Tn the same way the tetrahedral | theory is going through a period of | probation. I am not prepared to say | that I accept it, and, if proved, the
 ] amount of modification of the sphe- roidal form of the earth in that direc- tion will be yegy sligbt,, of course, But

COMMITTED ON STREETS.

The committee on streets met last night and voted to make the following recommendations to the court of conn., mon council that a layout for the grad ing of Sycamore street, which has al- ready been ordered, be made, and that assessments of benefits and damages for the same be made: the hardening of Ferry street, between Grand avenue and Pine streets; that the department of public works layout for the opening of the city end of the proposed highway from Lighthouse Point to South End; the hardening of Union avenue, be- tween Putnam and Cahlisle streets; a curb on both sides of Union avenue, between Putnam and Spring streets; and the adoption of the report of the department of public works on the widening of Derby avenue, between Norton street and West river. and the laying of assessments for the same.

we know that the equator is not per- feet circle, rather an eclipse, and the
 terahedral theory accounts for some
 things not otherwise easily explained.
 Measurements of the fifty-second parallel In Europe showed that that arc had radius of over 400 metres less than in the Clarke figure, and then they measured another arc on the same parallel, with 8 like result. The evidence was unmistakable as far as it went. This arc in America seems to show the same thing. The shrinkage
 of the earth is a geological question
 rather than a geodetic, but believe it
 is scientifically admitted that such a process is going on. But our Coast Sur vey service is primarily for the mak- ing of maps, and it is one of our first
 duties to determine the size and shape
 of the earth, upon which all else de- bends, and hence the great and pains
 taking experiments which the govern
 ment is conducting with the other gov
 ernments of the world. .'-Boston Even- ing Transcript.

Insurance Notes

The San Francisco News Letter says as
follows:
One of the largest transactions ever con-
summated in life insurance in the United
States, and undoubtedly the largest credited
to the state OF New Jersey, was closed last
week by the Prudential Insurance company
of America. 1t was in the shape of an issu-
ance of 800, ,00O,of partnership insurance in
favor of four members of the firm of Hahne
Co., proprietors Of the NewmarS depart
ment store. The first annual premium Of
over S13, 900 has Just been paid, and the poll
cies have been delivered.
The Commercial Insurance company has
been rensured by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Insurance company. The Com
mercial has been in business for about sixty
years. Several unsuccessful attempts have
been made by dissatisfied stockholders to
wind up the company in late years. The
decision to reinsure and retire was reached
by the board of directors week ago.
The Connecticut Fire Insurance company,
lately barred out Of Kansas by Commission
er McNall, this month made formal de-
mand for admission. McNall refused, and
the company will bring suit in the United
license, and to enioin him from further in
terfering with its Kansas business The
Connecticut Mutual Life took similar action
a few months ago, and, as result, is doing
business in the state without fear of Me-
Nall.
A new life accident company is under Or
ganization, to be known as the American
Life and Accident Insurance company 1t
does all kinds of life and accident business,
also employers liability.

THE BOSS OF THE BoERs
It Is Not Paul Kruger but an Irshman
Named Peter Gillingham

Cape Town, Africa-President Kruger of
the Transvaal is a man who may be classed
as approachable-wit limitations. If you
are stranger and wish to talk with Kru-
ger the road to favor lies through personal
introduction by Peter Gillingham. This
Gillingham is an Irishman by birth and a
baker by trade, and he has piled both so
well that he has a comfortable fortune and
is political power in the Transvaal.
On leaving Chicago for tramp through
South Africa with fellow newspaper man
on very limited capital, one Of the most
important points, it seemed to us, was to
secure just such an interview with Dom
Paul.
"Boss' Gillingham Is the busiest man in
the Transvaal. We had been in Praetoria
two days before We found him at home In
company with numerous spectators and
foreign agents. we haunted the sign of "P.
Gillingham, Baker," underneath which is
another legend, in smaller type, "And
