centennial Anniversary to BE OBJ
washington, Feb. 8.-There will be
an interesting meeting in Alexandria
on 81 Washington's birthday for the
purpose OF arranging for the observ-
ance OF the centennial anniversary Of
the death of the Father of his Coun-
Try. Line arrangements will be under
the control of the Virginia grand lodge
OF Masons. This is peculiarly appro-
pirate because Washington presided
at the laying Of the cornerstone of the
capitol in 1893, not only as president
or the United States, but also as past
master of Alexandria lodge of Masons.
During the ceremonies he wore his
masters sash and the apron presented
to him by Lafayette, wrought with
Masonic e1nblems in gold and silver
by the fair hands Of the Markuise de
Lafayette herself. At the lodge room
in Alexandria, where the meeting is
to be held two weeks from tomorrow,
are still preserved under lock and kew
two of the candles borne by the lodge
in the funeral procession. The third
light carried at that time was burned
and the laying Of the cornerstone Of
the Washington monument and at it's
dedication, and will be burned for the
fourth and last time at the centennial
celebration Of the patriots death. AS
President Mckinley is a Mason he
will be invited to deliver the principal
address at the ceremonies at Mount
Vernon. Arrangements will be made
at this months meeting for a solemn
ceremony following as closely as pos
sible the ritual Of the burial itself,
and the intention is to have Masonic
and other bodies from all over the
country participate.

Rational protests against Legislative
tnvasions of personal liberty are never
untimely. The disposition to run to
the legislature for law to cure evils
that are not to be cured in that way is
a growing thing. In vast majority
OF instances law to cure an evil af-
fecting private persons causes gra@er
faults than 1T is intended to cure. It
is nonsense to say officials will never
take wrong advantage of unwarranted
authority placed in their hands. Hu-
man nature has not changed in all
the centuries and men are as ready to
abuse or usurp authority now as at
any time in this worlds history.

The Manchester Guardian, which
has the reputation of being one of the
best informed of English journals,
gives the world to understand that
John Bull is still doing business at
the same old stand, and proposes to
protect his patents and copyrights with
his accustomed intelligence and vigor.
All he demands now is that, if China
is hanged, drawn and quartered, he
shall have slice for every slice taken
by every other power. For example,
Germany grabs, then England grabs as
much; Russian takes something, then
England takes portion; France alb
serbs province, then England appro-
PIRATES one equally as large and pow
erful.

The dogs In the United States kill
nearly 2 per cent of the sheep of the
country every year. They killed more
than 100000 sheep in the year ending
June 1, 1890, when the last statistics in
regard to the focks were gathered.
The damage done by them is greater
than that from any other cause except
unexpected storms, In which whole
hocks Of sheep are killed, and disease.
In six states more damage was done
to the focks of sheep by dogs than
by anything else. In Florida 1888
sheep were killed by dogs, and only
1850 by the weather and disease. The
number killed by dogs was about 9
per cent of the total number of sheep
In the state. The Florida sheep are
not exposed to such changes in tenn
perature as those on the farms in Ne
vada, where 128,850 died of cold and
disease. Only 1872 sheep were killed
by dogs in Nevada ip the census year.
The enormous number Of deaths from
changes in the weather was due to
unprecedented storms, which caught
the breeders unprepared and almost
halved their flocks. IN South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and
Arkansas dogs do more damage to the
sheep than anything else, and more
than weather conditions and disease
combined. In Massachusetts,. Rhode
Island and Connecticut thu number of
deaths in the focks due to dogs is al
most the same as that due to disease
and the weather. The record is al
most as bad in all other states where
dogs and. sheep are caught.

ALMOST A PANIC.

A Falling Balcony Creates Consider
able Excitement.
Chicago, Feb. 8. - A panic among
200 dancers was narrowly averted at
the North Shore hall. Thirty specta-
tors were crowded into the little bal
cony watching the dance. The sup
ports became loosened and slipped
back to the wall. The balcony sank
gradually, allowing the spectators to
slide topsy turvy onto the polished
floor. When the creaking and pulling
commenced, indicating that the bal
cony was falling, the large number Of
persons gathered, underneath quickly
stampeded toward the center of the
hall, leaving John Krusie behind. He
was caught by the falling timbers and
had his side crushed in. Of the thirty
persons in the gallery several were
painfully injured.

Moral beauty cannot co-exist with
radical defects of principle. The char
acter that is unable to resist tempt
alton, or unwilling to stick faithfully
to duty, is no more truly beautiful,
whatever be its generous impulses or
amiable traits, than a figure which
cannot support it's own weight. Parts
of it may be admirable; but, as a
whole, a unity, it cannot be rightly
called beautiful character, for 1t
lacks the foundation.
