BANQUET.
Tn, Knights Of Pythias Have
A Pleasant Time.
THEY ENTERTAIN FRIENDS.


Among the secret benevolent
orders in Marion the Knights OF
Pythias stands among those in the
front ranks. 1t was organized
twelve years ago, and owns its own
lodge room; and has paraphernalia
and furniture that cost about S4CO.
II is now growing rapidly and is
unquestionable an instrument of
great good in the community.
About once every year the lodge
has banquet, and the members
with their lady friends meet in the
lodge room, where an elegant sup
per is served, and there is flow of
eloquence as well as n feast of ma
te ial things, and these events are
always looked to with pleasure by
the Sir Knights and their families.
Last Thursday evening was one
Of these historical periods in Black
well Lodge, and the elegantly APP
pointed lodge room was filed with
chivalric knights and beautiful,
charming ladies. After the social
ningling and commingling OF an
hour, seats were taken at the table
at $50, and it was eleven o'clock
when the "fnis" in the programme
was reached.

In Germany.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-The German press is
full of articles commenting ON the latest
turn of the China situation, and it is gen
orally construed as marking the begin
ming of serious lack OF harmony between
the powers, whose Chinese interests are
colliding at too many points to enable
them to maintain a united front length
". Russia's sudden change of attitude
came here as complete surprise, since
the latest previous utterances of Russia
seemed to denote a continuance of the
closest German-Russo relations on the
subject of China, although it was known
here that the unmeasured Won Waldersee
idolatry and the putting by the emperor
OF onus for Won Waldersees appointment
upon the car, as well as the continued
increase of the German forces in China
and Emperor Williams impulsive farewell
speeches, had greatly displeased Russian
government circles, including the car.
Won Waldersee has been sent as the en-
peror's personal man to China, rather
against the wishes of Count Won BuelOw,
the minister of foreign affairs, who dis
approves of the "politico diploma general
issimo,' whose hand in China may upset
all Count Won Buelow has been able to do.
Nevertheless the emperor expects that Won
Waldersee, after his arrival i'll China, will
take his instructions solely from him and
carry out his majesty's personal ideas re-
garding the Chinese situation. Won Bue-
low repeatedly protested against this ar
rangement, though unavaiEng. 1t would
be mistake to believe the emperor there
in has the Endorsement of the majority OF
the nation. In the case OF Won Buelow
on the contrary, it is otherwise.
The nation is embittered at his males
tvs continued ignoring of the reichstag
An overwhelming part of the press daily
disapproves of Emperor Williams China
and lingo nationalistic press.

In France.

Paris, Sept. 2-The Chinese situation
as viewed in Paris, has assumed brighter
aspect. The practical unanimity Of the
United States, Russia, France and Japan
in the desire to maintain the integrity OF
the empire is regarded as disposing OF
any question OF partition. England's po-
suon is undoubtedly as strongly favora-
bic to the foregoing policy as that Of any
power mentioned, but 1T is more pleasing
to France that bonds of accord should be
sworn between the United States, France
and Russia and that these nations should
appear to be the controlling influence to-
ward peace. Americas proposition to &C
cept Ii Hung Chang as gO-between in the
negotiations is well received, although II
is still desired that he produce tangible
evidence that he is acting for the central
power. In fact, France is ready to treat
with any plenipotentiary able to furnish
proper credentials. Russia's proposal to
withdraw the troops from Pekin comedies
with the feeling entertained in Paris in
favor Of a conciiatory policy.
The acceptance of these two PROPOSE
tons by all the powers is considered an
important step toward a satisfactory so
luton and one which will avoid causing a
CONFUSION within China and will minimize
the danger of a conflict among the powers
Germany's and Italy's position form a
doubtful part of the exchange of views,
but it is thought the pacific influence OF
the other nations will bear down any bel
licose intentions ON their part on the scales
of European policy.

SITUATION Of THE chinese
VIEWS OF THREE POWERS.
England May Take American View
Germany Thinks There Is Lack of
NONCOMPLIANCE Thinks Affairs
Are Looking Brighter.

London, Sept. 2-As soon as Britich pub
sian nightmare which invariably obtrubes
upon the nations whenever any far east
ern question occupies international atten-
ton, it will, in all probability, according
to the views of the best informed, heartily
acknowledge the wisdom of Americas in
itiative toward solution of situation
which threatens to reach an impasse. At
present the country finds a touch of hui
NOR in the idea of an entente between the
great republic of the new world and the
powerful autocracy of the old, and the Sat
urday Review sneeringly wonders which
will ultimately "give way" to the other.
But despite the attempts of the jingoes to
becloud the real meaning of the under
standing, it is believed in authoritative
quarters that the reasons actuating the
United States will ultimately recommend
themselves to governmental circles. Great
Britain would doubtless have preferred
to assist in carrying out the original Amer
lean proposals, but as the Washington
government is prepared to modify these
in Difference to Russian views, there is
every indication that the British cabinet
will accept whatever promise the quick
est end to the controversy. The main
trouble is that the whole of Europe is in
mood of mutual suspicion, only too well
calculated to promote international COM
plications deprecated by the whole world.
But diplomatic circles in London are of
the opinion that signs are discernible that
the tension will soon be relaxed and that
the jealousies will be so allayed that the
powers will be enabled, in conjunction
with the reformers and viceroys of the
southern provinces, to devise scheme
for reconstituting the government Of
China in conformity with the will of the
people and authorities of China in Ger
many.

Record of Shin Building.

Complete fiscal returns for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1900, shows that
1416 vessels of 393,16S gross tons were
built and documented in the United
States. Since 1853 this record has
been exceeded only twice-in 1864,
when 432,740 gross tons were built.
The construction may be classed &C
cording to the following types:
Schooners, schooner-barges and
sloops, 499 of 109,60 tons; Great Lake
steam vessels, 25 of 97,S47 gross tons;
ocean screw steamships, 20 of $1,000
gross tons, of which all but one, the
Maracalbo, 1771 tons, were built Who'll
ly or principally for trade reserved by
law to American vessels; river steam
ers 375 of 44,2S2 gross tons; square
rugged vessels, four Of 6205 gross tons.
The steam vessels built-420 of 2O2,-
49S gross tons-surpass the record, the
nearest approach being in 1891, when
ass steam vessels of 1856, 037 gross tons
were built. The steel vessels built
1861 gross tons-exceeded the pre-
vious record year, 1899, when 81 such
vessels of 131, 1873 gross tons were built.
Cleveland, O., ranks first as builder of
42,119 gross tons, followed by New
port News, with seven steamships of
2S,202 gross tons; Chicago, five vessels,
24,5O4 tons; Detroit, four steamships
of 1858 tons.
The total tonnage built and docu-
mented on the Great Lakes during the
year, 125 vessels of 1861 gross tons,
is the largest in the history of that re-
gion. The total for the Middle Allan
tic and gulf coasts, COS vessels of 1885,
473 tons, exceeds any record since 1872
The total for the New England coast
1919 vessels of 72,179 gross tons, has not
been equalled since 1891, while the pro
duct of the Pacific coast, 300 vessels of
4O,396 gross tons, is surpassed only by
the returns of 1898 and 1899
Construction on the Mississippi riv-
er and it's tributaries, PIT vessels of
14,5O9 tons, is 5000 tons less than in
1899 The foregoing figures do not
cover yachts or government vessels.

BIOcade of Wheat Cars.

Kansas City, Sept. 3.-The extensive
yards of the Santa Fe railroad in Argen-
tine are almost exclusively occupied with
cars of wheat, which it is almost impossi-
bic to move. 1t was estimated that there
were 20 miles of wheat cars there this
morning. The trouble is said to be due
to the inability of the Chicago division OF
the road to handle the great inflow OF
wheat from the various branch lines in
Kansas. The difficulty is not so much
from a car famine as it is due to a lack
of motive power to keep the lines cleared
All the other roads in Kansas are una
BILE to handle the wheat offered
All the elevators are full and farmers are
dumping wheat in big piles on the ground
near the railroad stations.

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Congress Acting to Suppress Their
Sale.

The report of the senate committee on
manufactures upon the subject of food
authorizations and food frauds has created
a sensation in congress and awakened
great interest throughout the country.
If there could be published a list of the
names of all articles of food found by the
committee to be adulterated or made from
injurious ingredients, it would be of in
estimable value to the public
The recommendations of the committee
that the sale of alum baking powders be
prohibited by law, will make of special in
terest the following list of names of bak-
ing powders which chemists have found
to contain alum:

1t is unfortunate that many manufac-

only right that consumers should have cor
rect information as to the character OF
every article of food offered to them.
