.vERICAN MAsONs TO CONSTRUCT
A REPLICA.

nh. Famous Structure at Jerusalem
IN Re Reproduced for the Pam
american Exposition at Buffalo.
To Cost Nearly Three-Quarters OF
n million Dollars.
buffalo. N. Y, Feb. 1S.-To celebrate
tb.. close of the ineteenth century with
tts greatest couclave of Masons that the
World has ever seen is one Of the plans
NJ. forth for the Pan-American EXPOSE
lion of 1899. The scheme has >been incu-
hating for some months and the directors
nj the exposition and the Masons inter-
ested 10 bringing about such a great
gathering have promises of cooperation
now from all the states in the Union and
from all the countries of North and South
America.
Next June the Mobiles of the Order of
t5e Mystic Shrine will meet in Dallas,
Tex. for their annual convention, and
Rgffalo has already chosen a delegation
TO 90 to Dallas and secure the convention
of 1899 for Buffalo This is to pave the
way TO the unusual convocation of the
greater body.
The Shriners convention in Buffalo dur
ing the exposition will bring at least dif-
teen thousand Masons here, including
many of the highest men in the order and
in public service. That itself will be an
attraction for many other Masons, but
the plans of the promoters extend to a
monster conclave and a parade which will
Guido anything ever undertaken by fra
tcrnal order.
To give the occasion a personal inter-
est for every Mason in this country it is
also proposed to dedicate on Cayuga Is
land. which is the site of the exposition. a
great Masonic Temple where, during the
course of the fair, will be displayed re-
markable collection of relics and famous
levels of the order. Every lodge that
comes TO the celebration will bring with it
its best paraphernalla and it is safe to
say that the walls of the temple will be
decorated in dazzling richness.
The temple will be built to stand as
monument to the order and to the occa-
sion. Its architecture will be on the lines
of the Biblical description of King Solo
mons Temple and no expense will be
spared to make 1t of magnificent size and
Of corresponding beauty.
To the inner sanctium of the temple
only Masons will be admitted, and here
surrounded by all the pomp of the ritual
in the presence of the highest dignitaries
of the order The parade itself will take
place in Buffalo, which is peculiarly suit
ed for such great shows because of it's
asphalt pavemeuts, a condition which
made the G. A. r. parade of last sum-
mer a fine spectacle without distressing
the men.
President Mckinley, who will soon be
Initiated into the Shriners at Washing
ton, will probably attend the celebration
here, as he is 20 open the exposition, for
which he broke ground last August
1t is estimated by the Pan-American
directors that 100000 Masons will come to
the Niagara frontier to witness these i'm
posing ceremonies and to be a part of the
great gathering From Canada, Mexico

Eight Days on the witness stand.

II rum the LOUISVILLE GOSN.
'"rhe longest time l ever saw one wit
ness on the stand" said a man from
Hardinsburg, was during the life of
Judge Kincheloe. who was regarded as
one of the ablest members of the Breck-
inridge bar. He was honored by his peo-
pie with the high offices 10 which he as
pired, and he was always respected In the
highest as man of learning and a ripe
scholar. During his active legal practice
land titles were much unsettled In our
county, and some of the most important
suits came up over titles. In the case
of Askins vs. Askins, in which Judge
Kincheloe and the late George w. Will
Jams, of Greensboro, were the counsel. the
taking of testimony consumed two months
1t was then that Mr.. Askin was on the
stand continuously for over eight days
and when the judge had questioned him
from every conceivable point of view, he
said: Well, Mr.. Askins, you are excus-
ed, but I'm afraid we've pumped you 50

wife and family when you get home The

this from necessity, not choice; authors,
university men, doctors, and writing men
generally, not knowing how to spell, are
able with the pen to judiciously slur over
uncertain words, daintily allocating blots,
and all is well-except that compositors,
as a body, profane horribly, and, accord
ing to tradition, early become Bacchana-
lian in their habits. Writers have a deal
to answer for. A little of the gift of pro-
phetic vision shows US the once homely
pen, the boons and blessings of a one
time civilization, surviving simply as a
leading curio in the dime museum
It is mere justice to record that the pen
itself has had no contributory part in it's
extinction. 1t has not been the fault of
the pen; it has been the users, helped by

will use a typewriter and others, who
ought never to be trusted with a pen, or
der them by the gross, and take the dis
count. Rudyard Kipling writes a neat,
delicate hand, and Conan Doyles is as
plain as the proverbial pikestaff, but both
use machines. 1t would have saved a
deal of misery, and helped TO perpetuate
a useful art if other writer's of eminence
could have been prevailed upon to type"
Unfortunately, the typewriter was too be-
lated an invention to affect many of the
best bad writer's. Carlyle would not have
struggled with a keyboard, but it would
have prevented that miserable compositor
