A Novel Plan.

May 4 is A. o. u. w. Arbor Day, and
Grand Master Workman j. A. Rose
and Grand Recorder E. j. Moore have
struck o. novel plan for increasing the

this jurisdiction.
"Arbor Day, May 4, 1900, being a le-
gal holiday, has been set apart also as
Workman Day. There are two rea-
sons for this: first, we need the
united efforts of the membership in
this jurisdiction to obtain sufficient
new members to secure the supreme
lodge cash prize of $4,000; second,
that day being a legal holiday, no
time will be lost from your usual bust
ness. tftGt7

The Fire Festival.

Fargo's fire festival, to be held in
June, will be a bigger affair than was
at first expected, and the committees
in charge have written the Smith Co.'S
tune Company of Minneapolis, that it
will be necessary to at least double
the order for costumes. When Mr..
Smith was made official costumer for
the carnival, he was told that about
5000 costumes would be needed, and
now he learns that between 5000 or
1000 will be used. Mr.. Smith has
written to big costumers in New York
and Chicago, who have charge of the
mardi gras in New Orleans, and they
will be ready to help supply Fargo's
demand if MI. Smiths stock is ex-
hauted. The function at North Dako-
ta's metropolis will probably be the
largest ever attempted by any city in
the northwest, and it's prospects for
success are very good. ,

Opinion was divided at Camp Merritt
as to whether Billy Gray should or
should not stand trial. Confident as
were his friends of his innocence of all
completely in Morton's escape, there re-
manned the fact that he had telephoned
for a carriage, that a carriage had com
and that a carriage with four men, APP
parently soldiers, had driven rapidly
downward along Point Lobos avenue.

"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM Your Vege-

studying his face the while. The let

SIT is six weeks since I repaid all your
loving kindness, brought shame and sor-
row to you and ruin to myself by desert
Ing from West Point when my commission
was but a few short months away. In an
hour of intense misery, caused by a girl
who had won my very soul, and whose
words and letters made me believe she
would become my wife the month of my
graduation, and who, as 1 now believe. was
then engaged to the man she married in
January, I threw myself away. My one
thought was to find her, and God knows
what beyond.
st can never be undone. My career is
ended, n can never look you in the face
again. At first I thought I should show the
letters, one by one, to the man she mar
ried, and ask him what he thought of his
wife, but that is too low. 1 hold them be-
cause I. have a mad longing to see her
again and heap reproach Upon her, but, If
I fail and should I feel at any time that
my end is near, I'm going to send them to
you to read-to see how I was lured, and
then. If you can to Pity and forgive.

PardOned,

Gov. Fancher had granted a pardon
for VIM. Lester, who was sentenced
last fall to five years in the pen for
horse stealing, having been sent up
from Williston last September. 1t
seems that Lester was returning home
late one night last summer and hap
pened to have a little more liquor in
side him than was conducive to good
conduct. He CHANGED to pass a bunch
of horses and proceeded to drive them
to town. When arraigned he plead
guilty to horse stealing and was SEN
fenced accordingly.

New Trial

The appeal in the east of Joseph
King, who was sent to the peniten-
tiary for five years by Judge Pollock
on conviction of an attempt to commit
a nameless crime, resulted disastrous
ly for the appellant. King is a big,
burly negro, and the evidence against
him was conclusive, but his attorneys
alleged that he should have been sent
to Jail for a year and not to the pen.
Their motion for a new trial was re-
fused by Judge Pollock and the SUI
preme court affirms the decision of
the lower. court.

The Secretary of the Interior has re-
ceived from DR.. E. NJ. Gallaudet, Presi-
dent of the Columbia Institution for the
Deaf and Dumb, the fcrty-third annual
report of that institution. The school is
shown to be in n flourishing condition.
Since July l, 1899, there have been under
instruction 100 male and 50 fe-
male students. OF these 1874 have been
enrolled in the collegiate department.
They represent thirty-one States. the
District of Columbia, Canada, and ire
land. Fifty-fve were enrolled in the
primary department.
The receipts of the institution during
the year amounted to s71.347.29. OF this
amount SOS, 600 was derived from Gov
eminent appropriation. In addition to
this amount there was also received from
the Government $4,000. which was used
for repairs and minor contingent ex-
penses.
The following estimates for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1902. are made: For
the support of the institution, including
salaries and incidental expenses, for
books and illustrative apparatus. and for
general repairs and improvements. $685.
0C0.
For repairs to the buildings Of the in
stitution, including plumbing and steam
heating apparatus and for repairs to
pavements. s3,CC0.
The moderate increase in the estimate
for expenses during the next year is caus-
ed by the growth in the number OF the
students. This increase in the student
body was authorized by provision OF
law in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill, approved June 6, 1900.
no estimate for additional buildings
has been made. but an enlargement will
be necessary TO accommodate the full
number of students allowed by law.
An excellent collection of photographs
and publications. from which an idea of
the work done at the school may be de-
rived, was sent to the Paris Exposition
over year ago. Information las been
received that gold medal mas been
awarded the collection.
