only gum shoes the result would be

signs of prosperity that does not bene-

good the sale of rubber shoes dimin-

Eastern Fruit Damaged.

From every fruit growing section of
the east, north and south come reports
of serious damage to the fruit trees,
which in many cases have been killed
outright. From south Missouri it is
reported that much of the great peach
and pear crop for the coming year is
lost, the temperature having gone to
l6 degrees below zero. Reports from
Kansas state that the severe cold has
done great damage, particularly to the
peach crop. Similar reports are re-
ceiyed from many eastern sections.
Even in Florida the frosts have been
severe, and it is said that the orange
groves which were killed by the frost
four years ago have again been cut
down.

A Good Work.

The American Bible Society, within
the eighty-three years of its history
has issued nearly sixty-six million
copies of the scriptures, in one hum
dred languages, including twenty
eight European, thirty-nine Asiatlc,
nine African, eight Oceanic and twelve
American tongues. The issue OF bibles
was greater last year than in any
previous year, reaching one million
and half, and never have such oppor-
tunities opened before it for work as
now.
The population of the world is about
one and half billion. If all the bibles
that however been printed or single
parts of it were available today they
could supply only one-fifth OF the hui
man race. When we remember that
nineteen-twentieths of these have been
absorbed by protestant lands the des'
titution of the rest of the world is pitt
full.
The great work already done is
therefore but a fair beginning OF the
greater task of translating the word OF
God into every language underhea
There are two hundred millions ofpeo'
pie speaking hundreds of languages
and dialects who have as yet no part
of the word in their own tongue.
The work of the Bible Society Is
cordially Observation-Disclosures, re-
spending to all needs at home and
abroad without regard to creed OF
sect. 1t furnishes bibles at cost 81
production to those who can buy, and
gives gratuitously, many thousands OF
dollars worth to those who cannot.
1t has undertaken the new duty OF
sending experienced agents to Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. All
friends of the bible are urged to con.
tribute the means by which this second
work may be pushed.
Contributors of $50 may become life
members, of $3.50 life directors OF the
society.

. The Washington Services.

On Thursday evening last the Ma
sonic lodge of this city celebrated with
appropriate ceremony the hundredth
anniversary of the death of Washing
ton. The stage of the Grand opera
house had been especially decorated
for the purpose, fine full-length steel
engraving of Washingtonbeing prom
inent, enwreathed in the folds of the
natlo colors. The Symphony Or
chestra discorrsed music of a high
order, artistically executed. In fact
the musical f. atures of the program
were excellent.
The literary exercises opened with
the reading of the circular letter, or
warrant from the Grand Lodge, set
ting forth the spirit and purposes OF
the meeting. 1t was read by w. NJ,
H. s. Doty.
Chas. f. Hendryx spoke at some
length upon the topic of Washington
as citizen.
w. Allen Barto read fine and care
fully elaborated paper by Geo. M.
Bennett, dedicated to Star in the West
Lodge. 1t dealt with personal obser,.
vations and experiences during visit
to Alexandria. Va, and an attendance
by him of a regular communication of
the Washington Alexandria lodge, of
which at one time Washington was
worshipful master. 1t gave an inter-
esting account of Washington as
Mason, both in the field and at home,
and concluded with an eloquent trib-
ute to the greatest American citizen of
that period; and his connection with
the masonic fraternity. 1t was a pro-
duction of notable literary merit, as
we'll as being full of interesting Incl
dent.
The address of the evening was de-
livered by DR.. J. F. Hamilton, on
Washington and his contemporaries.
1t was an historic review of the times
of Washington. rehearsing his power
full influence in shaping the beginnings
of the nation, as also the patriotic SER
vices in council and the field of his
contemporary patriots. They were
men raised up by special providence
for an overshadowipg purpose, and his
tory fails to record an equally great
and pure band of men actuated by such
high purpose who directed such pol
icies with equal wisdom. They laid
foundations of government broad. and
deep, along lines new and revolution
airy; and their influence has been
worldwide and will be everlasting.
1t was an address to be ever remem.
bered by all who were so fortunate as
to hear it. 1t was in the Doctors
happiest vein-which means much.
After the Star Spangled Banner and
America by the orchestra the services
concluded with the benediction.
