No. 1O3 Knights of Pythias Entered the Grand
 Chancellor.

Avondale lodge No. 103, Knights Of Py- thias. held a public meeting last night in honor of Grand Chancellor Chas. h. Bricken, of Luverne.
 The castle hall was crowded to it's ut most capacity by members of the order and their families, many ladies peing among the audience.
 An excellent programme was arranged for the evening, which was faithfully car ried out
 An address of welcome was delivered by J. H. Hill.
 The honored guest of the evening re- sponded in a most interesting and beau tiful address upon Pythianisn, holding his audience spell-bound during its de- livery. Mr. Bricken is a pleasing speaker and is deeply versed in the lore Of the order lucidly explaining the principles or Pythianism as contained in its three cardi- nal virtues, "Friendship, Charity and Be- nevolence."
 A number of v:Sitors from Birmingham lodges were in attendance and vote or thanks was extended to them.

within sight were half dozen, other Span ish men-of-war, who doubtless would have ultimately taken a hand in the matter. It looked as though the entire population of
 Havana were gathered along shore on the city's outskirts to witness the anticipated
 battle. In another brief hour the atone
 ment we yet have to demand, the atone ment we yet must exact, would have been
 rendered to the galalnt Randolph. The
 Spanish frigate and brig must have gone to
 the bottom, or ingloriously yielded their
 prizes. But the wind was light, making
 the approach to the rescue slow.
 Orders From Washington
 Just then, when all hands were stand ing to the guns ready to obey the longed-
 for order to fire, the United States steamer
 Saranac, Commodore Taltnall hove In
 sight, and though commanded by a man
 of the Randolph and Ingraham school, he was acting under instructions fresh from the Taylor administration, to avoid by all means compromising the government-by all means to avoid giving offense to Span ish authority in Cuba; consequently this new and unfortunate arrival on the scene signalled to. Randolph to heave his vessels to. The commander of the Saranac, in- telligent and brave, must have felt bitter pang that his instructions (not week old from Washington should leave him no choice after hearing the state of affairs, but to order his junior captain to secure his guns,' and follow him into port. Thus three American men-of-war went peace ably into Havana, where they soon were compelled to witness the arrival of the
 ''prizes"-with the Spanish flag at tho peak over the Star Spangled Banner-a dissertation incredible-of a flag not before with impunity insultedi The crew and passengers of these prizes were thrown into prison. to await the action of yellow
 fever and of the Spanish military tribunals, and of the far slower action of the govern
 ment of the day at Washington.
 Upon what slender threads do mighty events hinge! A delay of less than twen- ty minutes and the Saranac would have reached the scene too late to prevent fight that would have been speedily fol- lowed by declaration of war, and the consequent invasion and capture Of the island of Cuba which would have been | retained by the United States foro war | indemnity.

'Fo Gawd, Not Tonight
From the Florence Herald.


 For weeks past Lum Simmons, an em- ploye of the fertilizer factory, has been contemplating marriage and all its joys and sorrows, and the object of his affec- tions and desires was the person of Lula Robinson. There has been all along but one obstacle to Lum's happiness-a dusky wench with the proud entitlements of Ala bama Crow, and "Bamma" has persistent ly sought to win Lum away from the wo- man of his choice. Her attentions became so objectionable that Lum threatened to have Chief Lipscomb come down and ar rest her, and as "Bamma" let up for awhile, all parties concerned concluded that joy would henceforth be unrestrained Arrangements for the wedding proceeded merrily and Saturday evening was ap- pointed as the time when the two loving hearts would be made one. The enamor- ed couple made extensive purchases for the occasion, invited their white friends to the marriage ceremony, received mum erous and costly' presents, prepared a big supper and jamboree, and made ready for the marriage feast. They had calculated without their host, for Alabama was nurs- ing in her fond heart a deep, secret desire for blood and revenge, and satisfaction for the humiliation she had received at the hands of her once well-loved Lum.

The time rolled around. and Saturday night the guests congregated at the home of the brides mother near the Foster works For awhile al lwent merry, and as Lum and Lula dreamed dreams Of mar ried bliss, love in a cottage, and several other kinds of things, the guests saw Vis- ions of a feast incomparable, while tneir blood tingled with joy in anticipation or the dance that was to follow.
 The license was read the assembled crowd formed themselves into listening att talde and Rev. Frank Blake took his stand to administer the ceremony. These solemn words were said in his most impressive style, and Lum thought he had his Lula. until the reverend preacher asked, TT there is any one present who has any in- iections why this marriage should not now occur, let him speak or forevr -
 Tn front door burst upon the startled guests, and in her most tragic voice olu Alabama Crow yell "Fo Ga.vd not tonight Not tonight" The explosion Of the Dattle- ship at Havana did not create as much consternation as did those words, but pe- fore Alabama Crow could reach the side of Ium and Lula, the mother or the priue bounced upon her and hustled her from the crowded room. The preacher again LOOK his stand and was about to proceed with the ceremony, when Alabama rushed in from the rear entrance. Before the guests could raise their voices in protest at the Interruption, the enraged woman hau smashed Lum a solar pleXuS DloW thdl ai- most laid him out. She would have no doubt made short work of Lum and ef- fectually broken up the marriage, had not the bride come to his rescue. Alabama was finally elected as an unwelcome guest and the chief of police sent for.
 When quiet was once more restofeu George Payne, best man and master or ceremonies for the occasion, announced that dis here weddin' is sholy gwinter to come off! Let de bride an broom once more git ter der places and we'll com- mence fun fust to finish!" Georges sug- gestion met with the approval of all pres ent, and while strict guard was kept over the doors to prevent another outbreak from Alabama, Rev Blake pronounced them man and wife, and bade Lum "bus de bride"
 A Leighton nigger' had been summon ed to the feast, and with his banjo twang- ed away the may quadrilles and double shuffies and pigeon wings, while Alabama skipped out and allowed her jealousy to cool down.
 A warrant charging the disturbance Of the peace was sworn out, but Alabama "Aew the coop" before the city marshal could get sight of her. Meantime Lum has his Lula, and joy reigns supreme In the Simmons household. The congratu'a- tions of friends may be sent to the fertil- izer factory, where Lum went to work bright and early Monday morning.

Blood Made Pure

This is a broad statement to make, but 1t comes right down to the meat of the thing, there is 10 quibb1ing nor evasiveness about 1t. "BIOOd Made Pure. ''
 Now, either Dr. Harter isa pub lie benefactor or he should be pros ecuted and prevented from doing business. If, as he positively as- serts, Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic cures blood disorders and dyspep- sia, then too many monuments cannot be erected In his honor. But if his medicine does not cure dyspepsia he should be publicly de- graded and legally dealt with.
 Dr. Harter never uses any eva sive language. The question is 1t does or 1t does not cure. He. publicly yasserts thatDr. Harter's Iron Tonic will cure you if you have impure or impoverished blood or dyspepsia, and he offers such strong evidence from we'll known people in all walks of life, and from all sections of the country that 1t would seem that it would 1e as sensible to doubt that you were alive and breathing as to doubt the curative properties of Dr. H0r.@0r.,C F$.o@1 Tn111C
