F. D. Parker also made an instructive
and interesting talk. The beautiful
silver loving cup, which was presented
to the lodge by Messrs. Lennon &

On last Monday evening the ladies
of Household of Ruth No. 553 gave
their annual banquet, celebrating the
twelfth anniversary of the organiza-
ton. After the business of the even
their guests to the number of forty
marched to the table while the graph

''The Man Bnhind the Cum Mr. H..
A. Kirtly said grace. The tables were
decorated in an artistic manner with
cut flowers in many pretty Designs. A
paper dealing with the order and it's
benefits to it's members was read by
Mrs. F. D. Parker, which was highly
appreciated. Mr.. Peter Conway made
very pleasing address. Rev. J. C.
Anderson also made a few remarks.
The graphophone made music and en-
tertained otherwise at intervals. Much
credit is due to the ladies in general
and also to Mr. Thomas Hickman,
who had the entire supervision of the
affair, which was success in every
way.
MANS Enemy" an English melo-
drama in four acts and nine scenes,
which is credited with the longest
run in the history of the London
stage, and now in it's second season
in this country, will be the attraction
at the, Grand the coming week, COM
mencing Sunday night at .8:15.
The play is by Charles H. Landon
and Eric Hudson and the scenes are
laid alternately in London and Monte
Carlo, and is written in far SUI
perior manner than the majority of
English melo-dramas, as it is thrill
ling in many of it's episodes and ap-
peals forcibly to an audience by rea-
son of its continuous dramatic inter-
est, and is practically a powerful pre-
sentation of the evils of intemperance.
The action is wholly melo-dramatic'
and the climaxes strong and exciting.
The fight between the half crazed
hero and the william at the end of the
third act is intensely exciting and
realistic and arouses the audience to
it's very highest state of enthusiasm.
1t has plot which is strong and in
teresting in itself and moves swiftly
from one situation to the other. It
stands in no need of vaudeville fea-
lures to keep it in it's popularity and
their absence is a decided relief.
The company supporting Miss Dor
othy Rossmore is carefully selected
one and each artist has been selected
with view as to their special fit
ness for the role they assume The
scenic effects, which are carried COM
plete for this attraction, are unex-
celled by any attraction in beauty and
massiveness.

BOYCOTT PROPOSED.


ST. LOUIS. April S.-The San Francisco
correspondent Of the Republic says: The
most gigantic boycott in the history of the
world is suggested by Aiva Udell, of Stock
ton, Cal, as an instrument to force the
United States to recognize the independ-
ence of the Philippine islands. Udell is an
accredited agent of the Filipinos in tn S
country. and, although he has not APP
peared prominently before the public I'm
their behalf, the amount of work he has
done with members of Congress and other
national legislators is enormous. He bears
letters from all of the prominent Filipino
revolutionists. and is a bitter opponent of
the policy of Imperialism as IL is now being
conducted by the President and his ad-
visers.
Udell says that the fighting in the Phil
ippines is practically over. but that 1T will
require a force of at least $1,000 American
troops to protect the noncombatant Fill
pinos from the depredations of guerrillas
If the present policy is pursued to its logi-
cal conclusion.
With the approval of Aguinaldo and the
Philippine central committee at Hong
Kong he has drafted a specimen constitu-

most prominent Filipinos in the revolution

Udeil says. but they will resist to the last
any attempt to make them dependencies
of the United States, with no hand i'm their
own government.
The movement contemplates Filipino
boycott of the United States-an absolute
boycott-enforced by a secret order in the
Philippines that has. II is asserted, $500
members. and can be made to embrace ev-

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April ScA special
10 the Express from Rio Grande City an
nounees the total destruction of the corn
crop in the lower Rio Grande bottom
lands. Officials Of the International &
Great Northern Railroad report that all
trains will be running good time by
morning. The Aransas Pass Railroad has
resumed its passenger service.
Smithville reports the Colorado river at
forty feet and rising. All bottom lands
are completely submerged, and great DAM
age has been done to the young crops and
many miles of fence have been washed
away. The river is higher than it has been
since 1870. The people I'm the bottoms have
moved out to places of safety.
The two wagon bridges across Gasley's
creek are submerged by back water and
all communication from the west side of
the town is cut off. If the river continues
to rise through the night the Tobin addi-
tion TO the town will be under water and
many cottages will be destroyed.
Late advices from Webbervilie are to the
effect that the river has fallen seven feet
there. All trains at Smithville are arriv-
ing late.
