Hiram Lodge, No. 10, F. A. A. NJ,

The annual visitation of the grand mas
ter and officers of the Grand Lodge Of
Masons of the District of Columbia was
made to Hiram Lodge, No. 10, at its hall,
corner Of 10Th street and Pennsylvania
avenue, last evening, and was largely at
tended by members Of the fraternity, in
Guiding several who are prominent in on
cial and social life. The grand master was
appropriately welcomed by the worshipful
master of the lodge. E. C. Brandenburg.
The reports on the condition of the lodge
showed it to have had one of the most pros
porous years in its history. and the grand
master took occasion to speak in a very
complimentary manner OF the work that
had been accomplished.
The address of the evening was delivered
by Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief Of the
weather bureau, his subject being THE
Pilgrim and the Cavalier" He was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. AS souvenirs OF
the occasion the grand master and Pro-
lessor Moore were each presented with a
handsome gold pen and silver-mounted ink
stand Of cut glass, appropriate remarks OF
presentation being made by Junior Grand
Warden Geo. H. Walker and Past Master
A. s. Taber.
The hall was beautifully decorated. con-
spicuous in which were festooned the stars
and stripes, to which reference was made
by the speakers of the evening. An or

MIND AND Food.

AAND oc pooD THAT AFFhyIb The MIND.
One Of the most remarkable sRects Of the food
Grape-Nuts 10 the effect on the mind; 1t makes
one feel buoyant, hopeful and cheerful" says
Alice L. Glunt Of 2422 Broad IT., Altoona, Pa.
She continues: "As result of prolonged mental
work, was stricken with paralysis Of the right
side about two years and q half ago. For about
two years was treated constantly with powerful
drugs to stimulate the nerve centers with only
partial success. a.
About six months ago 1 was threatened with
nervous prostration again, zwhen friend advised
me to eat Grape-Nuts food. Il was entirely skep-
tical concerning any beneAc1al results, but finding
the food very palatabie, bought package after
package, and since beginning the use OF Grape
Nuts have taken no medicine or nerve tonics Of
any kind. and the effect Of this perfect food on
my health is something very remarkable. All head
aches, insomnia. and disagreeable cough and my
symptoms Of paralysis have disappeared.
Il am satisfied that all the ills that have suf
fered were due to the fact that lived Just
thousands OF others who think they are well fed,
but are In state Of semi ton, owing to I'm
perfect assimilation Of food. The nerve centers
cannot be properly nourshed and rebuilt except by
good food and food that can be digested and
similated Grape-Nuts food 10 the most perfect
food have ever seen, and know Of its value
from practical results"
This Is another evidence of the fact that Grape
Nuts food contains the phosphate OF potash which
pnites with aibumen to make the gray matter in
the nerve centers and brain. Any brain worker
who values health. strength and vtgor should pay
heed to the character Of food h uses.

BOYS Given Warning.

Major Sylvester has instructed the Off
GERS of the fifth precinct to warn boys
when complaint is made against them for
standing on street corners and engaging in
disorderly conduct. In case the warning is
unheeded the officers are instructed to
take the boys to their homes and have
their parents correct them. Should the al
legged offense be repeated the offenders are
then to be arrested. The police are remind
ed that they must be respectful but firm
In their duties at all times. and not enter
into arguments with the persons interested.
This order. it is believed, Is the outcome
Of the complaint made against Policeman

HEMP FROM MANILA.
Sent via Tacoma Much Cheaper Than
Over Suez Canal Route.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March Sit now
develops that the mission of former
State Supreme Judge Thomas Canty in
the Philippines has been to secure the
direct shipment of Manila hemp to
Minnesota, by way of the Japan Steam
ship company and the Great Northern
railway. Judge Canty went as the rep
resenta.tive of the state prison board.
which desired to have the fibre laid
down at the Saltwater penitentiary,
where the binding Irvine plant is loca-
ted, at lower price than was possible
when imported as formerly via the Suez
canal and England. The new route has
made a surprisingly low rate from
Hong Kong to Minnesota, and Judge
Canty has already cabled an offer
which makes the price of Manila hemp
here two cents under the New York
market. None will be imported till next
year, however, as enough Mexican sisal
for this year has already been contract
ed for.
Judge CAVITY is now appointing agents
in the Philippines to make these direct
shipments, and it is expected that rope
and other eognate industries will be es-
tablished as a result of the smaller cost
of the raw material here than in the
east. Arrangements have also been
made by the prison board for the direct
importation of Mexican sisal via Gal
weston instead of New York.

HE LEAVES KENTUCKY.
Commander of State Militia at Goebel
Killing Going to Egypt.

New York. March 31.-Col Roger D.
Williams, of Lexington, senior COM
handing officer of the. Second Kentucky
infantry. who was in command of the
state militia at the time of Senator
Goebers assassination at Frankfort,
arrived here last night on his way to
Cairo, Egypt.
while it has been intimated," he
said. chat my going abroad at this
time is for the purpose of lodging any
unpleasantness which may result from
the trouble in Kentucky, I wish to state
that my passage to Egypt was arranged
for before Senator Goebe1 was killed
and before any thought of trouble was
anticipated in my state. Personally,
am not sure that there will not be more
trouble in Kentucky, but 1 hope that
such will not be the case.
1.-THE bloodshed and strife which have
occurred in Kentucky have had very
bad effect on business affairs in every
city and town.

KIPLING WAS PRESENT.
Famous Poet Watches Skirmish Near
the Karee Station.

Bloemfontein, March 3l.-The attack
upon the Beers holding the kopjes near
the Karee siding station, a few miles
south of BrandfOrt, was made by
fuckers Seventh division with the CO.
operation of French'S cavalry. The at
lacking troops included a large force of
Australians. Col knight, with 400 New
South Wales mounted infantry, included
in Legaillais brigade, attacked the right
flank. A long chain of kopjes was held
by the Beers and there was severe firing
all along the line of attack. The ap-
prOach was very steep, like fortress,
and the troops were unable to make
Roadway until the infantry made an at
tack upon the front. The cavalry went
round the right flank of the Beers and
used their Vickers- Maxim freely.
An army hospital was established in
a cottage under the shelter of large
kopje. The Boer shel~e came right over
the kopjes and landed near the hospital,
which it was found necessary to evac-
uate.
The Beers slowly retreated upon
Brandfort, taking their dead and wound
ed with them. Meanwhile the cavalry,
including the Australian horse and the
Sydney Lancers, under Captain Cox,
brigaded with Porter's brigade. The
carbineers, Scots GrayS and the In
iskililngs received a severe shell fire
The Beers had evidently mraked the
range as when the troops advanced the
enemy's fire was less accurate.
The COlOnialS displayed great cOOlneSS
under fire. Many horses were kill IN
der the cavalry's flank attack.
The Beers fled and all our troops push
ed forward and now hold an excellent
position upon the kopjes recently held
by the Beers
The farmers are in the lager fight
ing, leaving the women and the children
upon the farms, which they are con-
fident the English will not touch. Many
of these farmers would surrender their
arms but for the fear that the johann
nesburg police would attack their farms
in revenge for their doing so.
The Beers are known to hold Brand
fort in some strength-probably 5000.
Reinforcements are afraid to move
direct to their support and are content
with holding their position which is
threatened by the cavalry advance.
The whole action was rather insig-
nifcant. Many regiments received their
baptism of fire and showed splendid
GOODNESS. We have now secured a fine
natural position facing the huge plain
before Brandfort.
Mr. Rudyard Kipling was present
during the fight.

0 O. O. On o. O .

A member of the Chicago Press Club,
Mrs. f. NJ Black. rs 26th ST, Chicago,
says she has obtained so much benefit
from Grape-Nuts food that she wishes
to offer voluntary testimonial: Three
months ago had an illness which re-
duced me greatly, when convalescent I
wanted a great deal to eat, but nothing
seemed to satisfy me.
Very soon after a meal I felt that
sense of emptiness. an aching void as it
were, though really not hungry. The
fact is, the food I was then taking was
not properly assimilated and I was i'm
properly nourished, which accounted for
my lack of vitality and weak condition,
constant exhaustion and in ability to
gain my flesh.
4 started in on Grape-Nuts food,
husband laughing good humoredly at
the time. I ate it with cream, and the
result was most surprising. After the
first dish of it I felt a great sense of
satisfaction. I have now been using
Grape-Nuts but a week; have gained
several pounds, the old gnawing has
gone entirely. I retire and sleep well at
night, whereas / used to awake in the
night and was unable to sleep again
until 1 had taken some sort of food.
Husband is much surprised at the
result and tried Grape-Nuts himself. He
is delighted with the food. With best
wishes for the great food and it's max
ers. ! am, respectfully yours"

GROUND TO PIECES.
Chicago Man Killed by a Wabash
Passenger Train.

Chicago. March SD. L. Bauder,
who for a number of weeks had been
boarding at a house on Indiana avenue,
was literally ground to pieces last night
by a Wabash passenger train at Four
tenth street and the Chicago & West
ern Indiana tracks.
1t is believed by some that Bauder
met his death accidentally, while 9TH
ers declare that it is their opinion that
he deliberately threw himself in front
of the engine. During the past few
days his landlady had noticed that he
was acting strangely. She said that
Bauder told her that he had a sister
and brother in Cortland, n. Y, who
were wealthy, and that he was left
800 900 a short time ago by his father.
He gave up his position, he said, on
account of poor health.

Chicago University Cannot Raise SUI
hoient to Secure Rockefeller
Donation

Chicago, March 31.-President Harper,
of the University of Chicago, is working
night and day in an effort to raise $163-
900 before z o'clock tonight. Unless the
money is obtained the university will
lose the 1000, 900 promised by John d.
Rockefeller on the condition that an
equal sum be forthcoming before April
1. This offer originally expired on jan
uary /, but the time then was extended
by Mr. Rockefeller for three months.
Since the offer was made many dona-
fions have been secured, but President
Harper has yet 1853, 900 to raise in order
to make up the $4,000, 900 needed. All
day today DR.. Harper was absent from
the university and it is supposed that
he was visiting business men in the
down town district.
When he returned to his Office late in
the evening he reported that he had
succeeded in securing 900 during the
day.
