ters of Rebekah.

The sixty-first semi-annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge /. o. o. +. will be held in
this city to-day and tomorrow. The ses-
sion this morning will be devoted to the
appointment of committees and the hear
ing of the reports of officers. DR.. r. NJ.
Davis of Portland, is grand master; o. N.
Cranor, of Muncie, is deputy grand master,
and w. II. Leedy, of this city, is grand sec
rotary. The latter's report shows that there
are 627 active subordinate lodges in the
State and APT active members an in
crease in membership of 100.
The report of the building committee
which has the entire matter of the cree
ton of new Grand Lodge hall, will make
public for the first time the reasons why
the new building has not been commenced
At the last semi-annual meeting, held in
October, all the arrangements necessary to
be made by the Grand Lodge were made
The building committee was empowered to
proceed with the work. 1t negotiated a loan
of $25OOO at AZ per cent and entered into
a contract for the money. Later the plans
OF two firms of architects were considered
and one adopted. This led to a lawsuit and
the committee was enjoined from letting the
contract for the plans to the firm whose
plans it selected. The injunction was tenn
porary and the case was compromised out
of court and dismissed.
There were number of questions about
the ownership of the old building and the
site 1t occupies that had to be settled The
building committee had been given power
to act and all these questions were adjusted.
The stock of the old Odd Fellows Hall AS
ISOLATION was taken up and things were
In fair way for the speedy commence
ment of the razing of the old building The
committee was about to advertise for bids
for the erection of the new building, when
1t was learned that the money it had hego-
lated for could not be had The agents
through which it was negotiated informed
the committee that their principals abso-
lutely refused to carry out the contract
This leaves the committee with all OBJ
stacles that were thought to be in the way
OF the erection of the new building over
come, but without money to carry out the
project. 1t is believed that the persons who
were to loan the money were frightened
by the prospect of war, which caused the
money market to tighten up and raised the
rate of interest. 1t is believed the contract
can be enforced or that damages can be COL
lected from the parties on the other side of
It. The committee will take the matter to
the courts to ascertain If the contract can
be made binding. 1t had been expected that
the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge in
october might be held in the new hail. but
TINS is now out OF the question and it is
torn down this summer. 1t is not the inten-
ton TO abandon the building project and if
the money Is not secured from the source
or the present contract loan will be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. 1t may not be secured,
however, until the settlement of the trouble
between the United States and Spain.

centennial anniversary of the establishment
Of Tfppecanoe Lodge, No. So, I. o. o. f.,

performance of this young man, says:
Stuart, the young soprano, has been
very correctly termed tire Male Patti
He is decidedly the best female imperso-

most fattering Mr.. Stuarts make-ur,

nerisms and sweet soprano voice makes
the delusion complete His costumes are
wonders of the modiste's art and his
way of handling them quite fetching.
Until he very amusingly breaks from his
high soprano to a deep baritone. one
can readily imagine him to be a pretty
girl, while 'chappies,' until this time,
are hoping for a chance TO meet the
pretty little artist.

The part Of Isabella" i'm "1492" Ito
he presented at the Academy of Music
Friday night has always been one Of
great interest to the admirers of the big
extravaganza. The most conspicuous
figure in the east is Stuart, for thus
briefly the programme designates him
who impersonates Queen Isabella. Stu
art is a high soprano of the masculine
persuasion. He has therefore adopted
the sobriquct Of THE Male Patti"
There are female sopranos whose vocal
achievements are several degrees fur

voice is truly remarkable 1t has no
trace of that falsetto quality usually
noticeable in masculine sopranos. On
the contrary, it seems to rest ON its
own fOundation-to be the real thing.

BAD MANAGEMENT. THIS.
Pententiary Directors Willing to Pay
$500 to Get Rid of a Democrat

Work on the Cape Fear and Raleigh
Railroad by convicts will not be stopped
on October LIST, as ordered last week by
the penitentiary directors. The directors,
it seems. had reckoned without taking
in account the bargain they had made in
regard to the matter with n. J. Wade, of
Bingham. S. c., the contractor, CT the
agreement. based on the penitentiary con-
tract. between Mr.. Wade and Mr.. j. y.
Mills. the president of the road.
Consequently when Mr.. Wade appear
ed here Tuesday he had somewhat to say
to Superintendent Mewborne and Chair
man Dockery, with the result that they
assured him the whole thing was Il
mistake and the work must go on until
completed.
This will take some three weeks more.
As already stated in this paper, fifteen
miles of the road has been completed
and about three more miles are to be
built. This will be done by October 25th.
The action of the directors in this
matter is a fair sample of the eXtrava-
CANT and incompetent management that
has characterized the fusion administra-
ton of this institution. AS everybody
knows. and they will not deny, the order
taking the seventy-seven convicts away
from the railroad work was made simply
and solely for the purpose of getting rid
of Mr. W. j. Bradshaw. the supervisor,
now in charge of the men engaged in rail
road construction. 1t was understood
that the men were to be sent, October
LIST, to Weldon. to help harvest the cotton
crop on the farms, then come back and
complete the railroad.
If you will bear in mind the fact that
it would have taken over $500, or half
as much cotton as they could have picked,
TO pay the transportation of these men
to Weldon and back. you will see, either
how extravagant and reckless of eX-
pense the present administration is or
how much of the peoples taxes they are
willing to throw away to get rid of one
little Democratic office-holder.
And yet the Fusionists actually have
the effrontery to boast of their manage
ment of the penitenitary.

The people of North Carolina should,
like the people of other States, patronize
home enterprises where it can be done.
Take the matter of fire insurance, fo1
instance. North Carolina has some half
IL dozen as good companies as are to be
found anywhere. Their rates are the
same. and in some instances lower than
in other companies Besides premiums
paid to them remain in the State.
But what is better still, they are per
fectly safe and reliable. Recently Mr.. ).
l.. CroWder, an expert accountant in the
State Treasury department was APP
pointed by Secretary of State Thompson
to examine into the condition of these
companies and their manner of doing
business He has just completed the
task 1t was done carefully and thor
oughly and all the companies examined
were found in splendid condition. safe,
sound and reliable, says Mr.. Crowder.
The seven companies doing business
in the State and examined by Mr.. Crow
der are:
North Carolina Home Insurance Com
pany, of Raleigh.
