SHOWS BIG GROWTH.
The Membership of the knights Of
Pythias During the Past Two
Years Increased 21,237.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 29.-The Knights
of Pythias of the world have come to
Detroit this week to hail the most
prosperous year in the history of the
order. At the meeting of the supreme
lodge Tuesday, R. L. c. Wright, of At
lanta, Ca, supreme keeper of records
and seals, reported as follows:

cember 81, 1885, {, 74O. Total membership,
1872, 506; net gain during 1898 and 1899, IS
lodges and 21,237 members. Practically 80
per cent. of the gain was in 1899. Illinois
led in the gains, with Indiana and Ohio
close seconds. Louisiana suffered a net
loss of 7S2. The appropriations at the In
dianapolis biennial in 1898 were 500, $50, of
which $50, 1872 had been expended at the close
of the fiscal year. Subordinate lodges had
been organized in Hawaii, Alaska, Cuba
and Quebec. April 1, 1899, there was a
balance on hand of s7,O52, and there has
since been received from sale of supplies.
$26,S75; from grand lodge, per capita tax,
$31, log; from subordinate lodge, per capita
tax, $50; a total of $65, 403. Receipts of
grand lodges were $40S, $50 and, with balance
on hand, the credits were 1851, 21O. Dis
bursements were 1878 ,539. There has been
expended for relief, 81, 1886. SIS. SO, and grand

ALABAMA is QUEEN.
New Addition to the. Navy Makes {
Splendid Record on Her
Trial Trip.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-The navy de-
partment has received an official tele-
gram confirming the press reports
of the successful speed trial of the
Alabama. A dispatch to the depart
ment from Admiral Rodgers said that
the Alabama had made an average of
II knots. This was supplemented by
a message from Chief Engineer Perry
saying: alabama easily made II
knots without driving or mishap of
any kind"
The easy manner in which the Ala
bama exceeded her contract speed by
a full knot leads the department to
believe that, driven at her full capac-,
ity, she might exceed her trial speed
by a considerable fraction. There
was no speed premium paid on the
Alabama, and her builders probably
felt that it was useless to force, her
to the utmost limit at the risk of a
probable mishap to the machinery.
The Iowa, which is the only battle
ship so far that has exceeded the
speed of the Alabama, made 1904
knots, and the speed premium paid
on her by the department. amounted
to $217,42O.
The navy department Wednesday
finally accepted the battleship Kear-
sarge, which has been in commission
for some months. This will net the
builders 100000 heretofore held back
in accordance with law, pending the
final acceptance of the vessel.

THE NAME or OLD GLORY.

Il NNI WI t1SAS 10. Et TFtFNFHE
The following new poem by James
Whitcomb.s Riley was read by the au-
thor at the Iron Brigade banquet Of
the GA. R. encampment in Chicago:
Old Glory say who,
IBy the ships and the crew
And the long, blended ranks Of the gray and
the blue
Who gave you, Old Glory, the name tha
With such pride everywhere
AS you cast yourself free through the rap
turous air ss"NR $4,000
And leap out full length, as we're wanting
you to? SEs
Who, gave you that name, with the ring
of the same
And the honor and fame so becoming to
you?
Your stripes stroked in ripples of white and
of red,
With your stars at their glittering best
overhead
By day or by night
Their delightfulest light -
Laughing down from their little square
heaven Of blue;
Who gave you the name Of Old GIory?-say
who
Who gave you the name of Old Glory?
The old banner lifted and faltering then }%
In lisps and whispers fell silent
again.
-u. -t#-.. '.=..- -. aH. gEt4.s..U.Ht4-f|-.#
Old Glory, speak out. We are asking about
How you happened to favor a NAME. SO
to say,
That sounds so familiar and careless and
AS we cheer it and shout in our wild. breezy
We, the crowd. every man. of us, calling
you that & WIZ
We, Tom, Dick and Harry, each one swing
ing his hat
And hurrahing old Glory!" like you were
our kin,
When, Lord! we all know we're as common
as sin! t.Esf
And yet it just seems like you humor us all
And watt us your thanks as we hail o and
Into line with you over us, waving us on
Where our glorified, sanctified betters have
gone. t'H
And this is the reason we're wanting to
know ltEs ta
(And we're wanting it so-where our own
fathers ven we are willing to go),
Who gave you the name of Old Glory-oh,
'H ho!-
Who v you the name of Old Glory?
TIL old flag unfurled with a billowy thrill
For an instant, then wistfully sighed and
was still.
Old Glory. the story we're wanting to hear
Is what the plain facts of your christening
were
Fol your NAME, just to hear it,
Repeat it and cheer it, s a tang to the spirit
AS salt as a tear
And seeing you fly. and the boys march
ing by,
There's a shout in the throat and a blur in
the eye
And an aching to live for you always, or
die,
If. dying, we still keep you waving on high.
And so, by our love
For you, floating above, N
And the stars of all wars and the sorrows
thereof, .. g.s... 1 .Ela
Who gave you the name of Old Glory, and
why
Are we thrilled at the name of Old Glory?
Then the old banne leaped, like a sail In
the blast,
And futtered an audible answer at last.
And it spake, with a shake of the voice, and
it said:
"By the driven-snow white and the living
blood red &s
Of my bars and their heaven of stars over
head .-e'
By the symbol conjoined of them all, sky
ward cast, SD
AS I float from the steeple or flap at the
mast
Or droop DER the sod where the long
grasses nod,
My name is as old as the glory of God.
So came by the name Of Old Glory.

The tragedy was precipitated by
the investigation of the c%oroner's
jury into the death of Bessie Salter,
a 16-year-old girl of Leonard, ILL.,,
who died in Mrs. Wright's lying-in
hospital Friday night. A warrant
was issued for Mrs. Wright's arrest.
A number of deputies gathered upon
the street, accompanied by Constable
Nilstead. Mrs. Wright barred the door,
and in forcing an entrance the con-
stable encountered unexpected oppo-
sition. They broke the outer door
open and entered the darkened rooms.
Michael Ryan felt his way acros the
first room and was about to enter the
door of the inner apartment, when a
shot rang out, and, he fell dead.
About4three o'clock the family of Mi
ichael Ryan arrived. The dead man had
been carried to the. bushes near the
house where he met his death. A mol
of probably $50 people had gathered.
Most of them were armed. The scenes
of grief which followed the arrival of
,Ryan's wife and children fired the
crowd with frenzy. They seized dozens
of bundles of straw. saturated them
with petroleum, piled them against the
front and sides of the so-called hospital.
and applied the torch. In a moment
the place was a mass of flames.
The mob then dispersed. 1t had
been reported that there were three
women in the house besides Mrs.
Wright, but no signs of them have
been found. The house was destroyed
with its contents.

The foreign demand for American
corn is rapidly increasing. Until re-
cent years Europe failed to recognize
the superiority and economy of corn
as a cheap food for animals, but they
are awakening to that fact. Indeed,
the increase in the export observed in
the last five years has been the most
striking feature of our foreign COM
merce, it being during that period
equal to about 254 per cent. The max
imum was reached in the last fiscal
year, when the exports attained the un-
~precedented total of 209, 34s,273 bushels,
valued at $751;, 1905, $3.50.

A civil engineer who is in Alaska has
written home to Chicago that the rails
on the Chilkoot Pass railway expand
with the cold instead of contracting, as
they would be supposed to do. A tenn
pe%rature ranging from 10 to 40 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit, would not APP
preciably affect the length of rails, but
severer cold than that would be at
tended with expansion. This is certain

though water shrinks as it cools until
80 degrees Fahrenheit is reached, when
it begins to expand. @
