STARS IN CONVENTION
DISTRICT CONVENTION OF THE
EASTERN STAR MEETS HERE.
WE'LL KNOWN GUESTS HERE
Banquet Served in the Evening Very
Elaborate Affair-over one Hundred
Guests Present From Racine and
Kenosha Counties.

The most prete1tiOus secret society
gathering held in Kenosha for some
time was the annual district convention
of the Eastern Star lodge of the Ma
sonic fraternity which met at the Ma
sonic Hall in this city Friday afternoon
and evening. Over one hundred and
seventy five members of the Order
were in attendance, many of the guests
being we'll known in the Masonic cir
cles Of the State. The out of town
guests came in during the afternoon,
the lodges at Racine, Union Grove,
Milwaukee, Genoa Junction and Rich
mOnd, ILL.,, being represented. At $50
in the evening the Kenosha Chapter
gave an informal reception to the
guests, the reception committee con-
sisting of Mrs. Hosea Barns, Mrs. Fred
Hannahs and j. B. MalOney. At Z
o'clock the entire party proceeded to
the Company E Arm0ry adjoining the
lodge room, where a sumptuous ban
Quet had been prepared by the lady
members of the Kenosha Chapter. The
banquet room looked exceedingly
beautiful with the tri- color decorations
of American flags and bunting. Two
long tables, at which covers we're laid
for $50, were neatly arranged in the
center of the room and deliberately
decorated with smilaX and great DO
Quets of chrysanthemUms.
After the banquet the guests re-
turned to the lodge room where Miss
Frank Stewart, worthy matron Of the
Kenosha Chapter, delivered the adj
dress of welcome and gave the guests
the liberty to the city. The resi- onse
was given by Mrs. Eldridge, of Genoa
junction. The welcome and response
was followed by the exemplification
the work of the order by the chapters
from Racine and Genoa junction.
After the regular meeting short talks
were made by Grand MatrOn of Wis
consin Mrs. Ella S. Washburn, of Ra-
cine; Mrs. Lillian Hall Monroe, OF
Racine; Mrs. Redfern, Of Milwaukee,
Robt. Wilson, of Union Grove; Mr..
Gull, of Lake Geneva, and several
members of the local chapter.

MUSTACHE GUARD.

had stopped over for the day and went
to the principal hotel to get my dinner.
While I was seated at the table tall,
solemn looking man came in and took
chair opposite. From his general ap-
pearance judged him to be one Of the
heavy swells of the village, and, by the
way, 1 afterward learned that such was
the case. He wore a long tailed coat and
a bright blue cravat, and had very
heavy, carefully groomed black mus
tache.
LAS soon as he seated himself he felt
in his vest pocket and drew out sim
gular apparatus consisting of a strip of
gilt metal, about an inch broad and six
inches long, slightly curved and fur
nished at each end with hooks, like
pair Of spectacles. While was wonder
ing what the deuce the machine was, he
deliberately brushed back his mustache
and fastened the plate over his upper
lip, putting the hooks around his ears.
Then he began solemnly to eat his din
ner. The effect of that extraordinary
oontrivance clamped around his coun-
tenance was so strange and startling
that I couldn't take my eyes off him,
but he paid no attention to my stare and
finished his meal in digni1ed silence.
The apparatus was mustache guard,
but where he got it and whoever con-
ceived such weird idea are mysteries
too deep for me. One thing was certain,
however, and that was that its owner
evidently believed it to be an nipple
ment in use in the best society. New

TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
How to Diet to Lessen the TW1nges
of This Painful Affection.

Hearty, frequent, we'll chosen meals
and much bustling about in the open
air are absolute essentials to cure.
The prime cause Of rheumatism is in
digestion, and, though you may eat
prodigious meals, if your stomach does
not assimilate what is given it you are
quite as poorly nourished as the man
who gets but crust day.
AS to what you can and cannot eat
here is the rule: Of meats you must
deny yourself heavy, dark flesh. IN
der this head is itemized mutton, veni
son, goose and anything that is cut off
a pig. Devote yourself to chicken, lamb,
game, sweetbreads, brains and the more
delicate fish, when simply cooked and
served without rich sauces, Avoid lob
ster and crabs, but enjoy oysters and
CLANS and refuse every fried dish. Of
vegetables never touch tomatoes, cucum-
bers and all salads that have vinegar
dressing, for an inadequate stomach is
busy manufacturing all and more pow
erful acid than the system can endure.
Eat lightly Of potatoes, dried beans or
indulge freely in green beans and peas,
carrots, turnips and we'll cooked green's.
For all the starch your body needs rice
is the proper source of supply. An
abundance Of we'll cooked rice is worth
all the bread and beans and potatoes
put together.
Almost as sweeping a denunciation
l. 40 - oil koTl
and milk. Beer, claret, port and cham
payne act as a sort of poison on the
rheumatic system, and though whisky
and brandy, gin and rum are not so in
furious, if taken sparingly and at long
intervals, they are best abjured and wa
ter and milk substituted. In the last
ten years mineral waters have been con-
sumed in enormous quantities by rheu-
matics in the belief that they afforded
especial aid, and they are efficaciOus,
chiefly, though, from the fact that they
are very pure, and that the use of them
induces patient to imbibe an unusual
quantity of sweet cleansing liquid.
Any pure water, taken at the rate OF
two or three quarts day, has an equal
salutary effect on the system. 1t must
be pure, however, and filtered if there
are any doubts about it's cleanliness.
This liquid, taken slowly, in small
tumblerfuIs, and for the most part be-
tween meals, will largely serve the pur
pose of mineral water. Not more thar
tumblerful is wholesome at each
meal, and it is best not to take the wa
ter just Immediately after eating or be
fore going or on getting into bed.-Chi

How to Make White Custard.

Add to the white of one egg two tea
spoonfuls of sugar and small pinch Of
salt and mix thoroughly together. Heat
one teaoupful of sweet milk, add to the
above ingredients, and stir until quite
smooth. Then strain if the egg is not
entirely dissolved. Pour into custard
cups, cover with brown paper, set in a
dish of boiling water and bake in a
moderate oven. Test the custard with
silver knife, which will come out quite
clean if it is sufficiently cooked. Serve
in the cups with cakes or jelly.

AMERICAN WIRE NAILS.
UAed In Practically Every Country
ON the Globe.

ON the Globe
We are furnishing the whole world
with wire nails. We send them to every
grand division of the globe and to every
civilized and half civilized country
even to Germany, France, Belgium and
Great Britain, where the iron trade is
supposed by popular fallaoy to be fur
Their advanced than in the United States.
We send them also to Italy, Turkey,
Holland and all the other states of Eu-
rope, to all the Central and South
American states, to Asiatic Russia,
British Australasia, French OGeanica,
British and Portuguese Africa, to the
Beers and the Sudanese, to Korea and
to China, and, strange to say, our lar
gest customer is Japan.
Nearly one half of the entire export
of wire nails from the United States
last year went to the land of the mika-
do. This is practically new industry,
although Alexander Hamilton in his
report to congress as secretary of the
treasury in 1891 with commendable
pride, called attention to the fact that
''the United States are in a great meas
ure able to supply themselves with
nails and spikes, which at that time
were all made by hand, and most of
them in chimney corners, Machine
made wire nails appeared in the mar
ket for the first time in 1882. In 1888
they gained popularity and began to
take the place of cut nails. In 1892 the
manufacture reached a tOtal of 471,
952, 900 pounds. In 1897 it jumped to
500. 1874, 500 pounds, and IA 1898 the
figure will show corresponding in
crease.
The export of wire nails may be said
to have commenced in 1888, when we
shipped 1,547, O98 pounds to foreign
countries. The popularity of this new
product developed SO rapidly that dur
ing the fiscal year of 1898, ten years
later the exports had reached %, 1884,,
099 pounds. The price has been run
ming down with equal velocity. In 1888
wire nails sold for 10 cents a pound; in
1898 they sell for cents a pound, or
about the same price that the manufao-
turers Of Great Britain ask for steel
rails In Chicago in 1890 the average
price was $2.51 a keg; in 1898 it is
| $1.36.-W. E. Curtis in Chicago REQ

COOPER FOR CHAIRMAN.
Will Be at Head OF River and Harbor
Committee in the House.

A Washington special says: " A
western man will probably be at tie
head of the Rivers and HarbOrs com
mittee this session, which gains con
siderable in the way of appropriations
for that section. Representative War
rem B. Hooker, of New York, who is
chairman of the committee, has just
been appointed Circuit Judge by Gov.
Black to succeed the late Judge Green.
Mr.. Hooker, who had just been re-
elected to the Fifty sixth Congress,
will resign. The next member of the
committee is Hon. Ell. A. Cooper, OF
Wisconsin, who, it is thought, will be-
come chairman. He is deeply inter-
ested in the west, and especially in the
deep waterway channel. "
The people of Wisconsin will be glad
to learn of the advancement of Con-
gresham Cooper to the head of the
committee on which he has served so
faithfully. His advancement means
that man will be placed at the head
of the Harbors and Rivers Committee,
who is entirely qualified for the posi-
ton and understands the needs of this
department.
With "our" Congressman at the
head of the committee KenOsha can
rest assured that her harbor interests,
as we'll as all her other interests at
Washington will be properly cared for,
and now all that is necessary for the
long desired improvements in the Ke-
nosha harbor is for the City Council to
act and we can depend on Congress-
man Cooper to do the rest.
