The Brother who Is carle6s about
paying his assessments may find
himself suspended Just at the wrong
time. The law suspends-not the
officers nor the Lodge When a
member fails to pay an assessment
by the 2Sth day of the month iii
which it is issued, his Beneficiary
Certificate stands suspended by vir-
tue of his failure to comply with
the law. The Financier may not
mark him suspended at the time
but that does not change the fact.
We are aware that several members
in this Jurisdiction defer paying
their assessments until the 10th or
18th of the following month in which
the assessment is due and yet feel
secure. Let those Brothers under
stand now, and for all time, that if
they should die after the 2Sth day
of the month, not having paid the
assessment due for that month,
their loved ones would not receive
one cent of protection. If the FL
nancier had failed to send his re-
port to the Grand Recorder, he
could not, honestly, report the Bro
ther in good standing. If he did
he would perjure himself and cheat
the Order, thereby violating a most
solemn obligation which he had
taken, Can any member of the
Order demandthis action of the FL
nancier of his Lodge? Could he
expect that Officer with the VOW of
his office upon him, to do such a
thing? If so, then that member
must have "a poor opinion of the
honesty and integrity of he Finan-
cier. We say then to all those
members who have been careless
heretofore in this matter, investi-
gate this and see how you are en-
dangering the protection this
Order intends to extend to your
leved ones if you will do your duty.
We feel confident that fany Brother
will give this moments thought
he will be prompt in paying all
assessments made upon him. Then,
again, there are other reasons why
a member should not be suspended.
One is, if he has been suspended
thirty days he must sign certifi-
cate of good health. This he might
not be able to do. If he has been
suspended for three months he has
to he re.examined by both Lodge
and Grand Medical Examiner and
be approved by them; there
fore, it is better to be on time with
your assessments. Let every Bro
ther see that he pays the Financier
of his Lodge on or before the 28th
day of the month; then you know
there will be no trouble.--A. 0. q.

A SCHOOL
For Instruction of
Cuba Natives.
COL. T. H. BLISS
Believes Custom House
Could Serve Good Purpose.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Assistant Sec
retary of War Meiklejohn gave out to-
day a synopsis of a report recently
made by the collector of customs at
Havana, Col Tasker H. Bliss. Col.
Bliss writes that the operations at the
customs house at Havana are proceed
ing very smoothly considering all the
conditions under which he has to work.
On the day following his installation
number of employees vacated their
positions. Some of them were Spaniards
returning to their own country and
were employees who under the Spanish
law had become entitled to a retiring
pension. Had this class remained in
service their pensions would have been
1eopardized. Others left for reasons best
known to themselves.
At present Col. Bliss is carefully 70
adjusting his force, placing Americans
only on guard where a general super
VISION of the whole force is necessary.
Col. Bliss says that in his opinion the
customs service of the island should not
be only an object lesson, but a school
of instruction for the natives.

cans in the service. But it can be made

rotary of state for foreign affairs con-
corning the Dreyfus case Gen. Mer-
cier. who was minister of war at the
time Of the conviction of Dreyfus, has
been interviewed by representative
Of the Soir, to whom he declared that
In 1894 he knew nothing of Comte Fer

lations with Col. Saadherr. "Dreyfus, :"
he added, lied when he pretended !
knew he had supplied documents to a
important documents IN return, with
view of obtaining some mitigation
of his sentence.
However | caused him to be asked
the number and value of the docu-
ments he had so supplied. He refused.
and his refusal, therefore, pointed to
his guilt"

resentative that the Dreyfus dossier
contained documents compromising
the mutual relations of France, Ger
many and Italy,

haZy a virtual safe conduct to testify

having forwarded to NJ Mazau, first
