NEXT MEETING PLACE.
Festivities Terminate with Grand
Ball Attended by Eight
Thousand People.

Louisville, Aug. 29-After ~electing
officers and selecting San Francisco
as the place of the next meeting and
the first Tuesday in September, 1904,
the date, the ~twenty-eighth triennial
conclave of Knights Templar, which
has been in progress here since Tues
day, today adjourned to the date set.
The festivities came to a climax at
a magnificent ball held tonight at the
Horse Show building. The election
of officers occupied the greater part
of the days session. When the cleo
lions were owe the committee on
time and place Of next meeting re-
ported that San Francisco was the
only bidder and carried off the honor
without a struggle. Minneapolis put
in a bid for the conclave of 1907. The
installation of officers followed. Sir
knight Stoddard, the new grand mas
ter, was given an enthusiastic recep-
ton by Sir Knights.
The breakup of the conclave began
early today and became marked af-
ter the grand ball. BY tomorrow
morning most Of the knights and
their ladies will have left, either for
their homes or to places Of interest
near Louisville, Mammoth Cave be-
ing the point of greatest interest.
The ball tonight was a magnificent
show. The crowd was too great to
allow of comfortable dancing, but the
knights and their ladies pronounced
the event a success. It is estimated
that 5000 people were present.

New York, Aug. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Panama v
Pilots and counter plots fill the air.
There is war here of the most hide
GUS kind and strife that tears the
country asunder in which brother is
pited against brother; friend against
friend and neighbor against neighbar.
Fertile fields have been devasted.
Once thriving towns have been de-
cimated in population and villages
have been wiped out Of existence.
Bands Of armed men occupy every
highway and traffic is practically at a
standstill, while frantic women mourn
their dead and hungry babes clamor
for food. The entire republic is a
seething caldron of unrest. So crit
ical is the situation that even the Of
ficials of the government who wish
to re-establish public confidence, ad.
init that the crisis must be reached
within a few days as matters cannot
long commune as they are. Great bat.
ties must soon be fought, and upon
the results will depend the suprem-
acy of the clashing parties in Colon
bia, but also, perhaps, the integrity
of the territory of three heighboring
republics, Venezuela Ecuador and
Nicaragua. Feeling runs high along
the borders, and a general war may
be precipitated at any moment by any
trivial incident. The revolution has
resolved itself, after lasting nearly
two years, into ar international strug-
gle between the liberals and the con-
servatives of four sister republics, al
lied in their history, contiguous in ter
ritory, kindred by climate, by race
and by tongue"

Decisions Of Supreme Court in Cop
per Mine Cases.


st. Paul, Aug. pa special to the
Pioneer Press from Helena, Mont,
says:
The supreme court at 5 o'clock this
afternoon just before adjournment
for the term, denied the application
of the Boston & Montana company
for an order requiring the Montana
Ore Purchasing company to furnish
an additional bond in the Pennsyl-
vania case and for an Injunction re-
straining F. A. Heinze from operat-
ing the Minnie Healy mine pending
an appeal from the recent decision of
Judge Harvey. Both decisions were
in favor of the Heinze interests and
are OF immense Importance in the
great copper litigation now occupy
ing the attention of the Montana
courts.
The court "a unanimous in the
belief that the 81, 800, 900 bond now
operative in the Pennsylvania case
was sufficient so far as showing had
been made.
In the Minnie Healy case Justice
Piggott dissented. The court unani-
mously struck from the records the
sensational afidayits involving Judge
Harvey. These afidivits, were filed
in the lower court in support Of a
motion for a new trial now pending
and We're made part of the records of
the supreme court in an appeal from
Harney's judgment.
Work on the Minnie Healy mine
which has been closed down since
Monday will now be resumed.

Boston Wool.

Boston, Aug. 28-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
tomorrow OF the wool trade:
The market continues firm. The
demand. however, has been mostly
from the smaller mills, the large con-
sumers having satisfied their needs
for the time being at ~ rate, and
the volume of sales during the past
week has been less than that of the
previous week. There has been no
sales of large blocks Of wco!, such as
characterized the market a few weeks.
ago, but from the smaller mills the
inquiry has been quite active for GER
tain lines which has given a firm
tone to the market, ana made it an
pear more active than il the same
amount of wool was being taken by a
very few large consumers. That there
will be more wool needed than a year
ago is generally believed, in view Of
the fact that the public demand for
goods has changed from those in
which shoddy and cotton entered, to
a better class of goods which means
that more wool and fewer substitutes
will be consumed this year than for
some time past. This change in the
public demand is reflected also in a
decided pressure for the better class
of woods and fine woods especially are
firm, and in good demand, and there
is not an " abundant supply.
There is a good inquiry for fine
territory and fine Australian with
the supply limited in this market, and
also for M~ontavedio. At the same
time there is an excellent demand
for quarter and three-eighths blood
and braid wools-combing stock for
worsted spinners and top makers and
mems wear and serge manufacturers.
The supply of quarter blood espec-
tally is very much reduced.
Receipts of wool in Boston this
week amount to 24,347 bales, against
bales in corresponding week last
year.
t32,216 bales last week and 1896

have been 456,612 bales domestic and
100,881 bales foreign, against 275,690
bales domestic and 113,109 bales for
eign for the corresponding period of
1900. This is an increase of 1SO,922
bales domestic and a decrease of 12,-
:228 bales foreign.
Shipments of wool for the week
ending August rs are as follows:

day, August 21, 675,45O; Thursday,

THE BIRTH OF THE MOON.
When the Earth Was n Sphere or
Laya, Molten and Flnttened.

1
The earth revolves on its axis once
ir "a hours. Millions Of years ago the
| day was % hours; millions of years be-
| fore it was 81 hours. AS we look back
ward into time we find Ne earth re-
yolving faster and faster. There was
time, ages ago, long before geology
begins, when the earth was rotating in
a day of five or six hours in length. In
the remotest past the earth revolved In
day of about five hours. 1t could re-
volve no faster than this and remain
single unbroken mass.
1t was at this time that the moon
was born-scparated, broken off from
the parent mass of the earth. The
earth was then q molten, fattened
sphere of lava. It's whole body was
fluid The tides, which now are small,
superficial and, so to say, local, were
then universal and immense. They oc-
Cured at short intervals. The whole
surface of our globe was affected
And the corresponding lunar tides in
the fluid, molten moon were indefinite
ly greater still.
Our day is now "a hours the distance
of the moon is now 100000 miles.
When our day was about five hours
long, the moon was in contact with the
earth's surface. 1t had just broken
away from its parent mass. AS the
length Of the terrestrial day increased,
so did the distance of the moon. The
two quantities are connected by in
exorable equations. If one varies, so
must the other. Whenever the rotation
time of planet Is shorter than the
period of revolution of its satellite, the
effect of their mutual action is to ac-
celerate the motion of the satellite and
to force 1t to move In a larger orbit |
to increase Its distance, therefore.
The day of the earth Is now shorter |
than the month--the period Of revolu-
ton--of the moon. The moon is there |
fore slowly receding from us, and it has
been recedlng for thousands of cen
turtles. But the day Of the earth is, as
we have seen, slowly growing longer.
The finger Of the tides Is always press
ing upon the rim of our huge flywheel
and slowly but surely lessenlng the
speed of its rotation. So long as the
terrestrial day is shorter than the
unar month, the moon will continue to
'ecede from us.-Professor +. S. Hol-
len in Harpers Magazine.

| Jerome X. jerome recalled, with
reverence, habit Of his methodical
uncle who, before packing for n jour
ney, always made list" This was
the system which he followed, gather
ed from his uncle's own lips:
Take a piece of paper and put down
on it everything you can possibly re-
quire. Then go over ii and see that it
contains nothing you can possibly do
without
Imagine yourself in bed. What have
you got on? Very well; put it down,
together with a change. You get up.
What do you do? Wash yourself.
What do you wash yourself with?
Soap. Put down soap. Go on till you
have finished. Then take your clothes.
Begin at your feet. What do you wear
OIL your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put
them down. Work up till you get TO
your head. What do you want besides
clothes? Put down everything.
This is the plan the old gentleman al
ways pursued. The list made, he would
go over It carefully to see that he had
forgotten nothing. Then he would 90
over it again and strike out everything
it was possible TO dispense with. Then
he would lose the list.

miles from Providence a revival was in
progress. \ young man, one of indis.
tinguishable twin brothers who had
previously been observed, as was sup
posed, in an attentive attitude at the
meeting, rose for prayers, walked to
the anxious seat, and there walled and
noaned to such good purpose that the
deacons were sure he was on the high
road to salvation.
The next day he was overheard in
the back yard at home chopping wood
and swearing painfully at refractory
leg. When demonstrated with for his
sudden backsliding. he merely said,

\ simple remedy for Indigestion is
the white of an egg beaten to a stiff

of cold water. This should be taken
after each meal.
For burns and scalds, when no other
remedy Is at hand, try the effect of

bound round the scar This is espe-
cially useful when cooking, for the
vinegar is generally at hand.

Considerable attention is being
o;ven inst now to the French law
dealing with anarchists and anar-
chism, 1t was enacted soon after the
assassi nation of President Carnot and
seems to have been efficacious in at
least driving advocacy of murder and
violence out of sight The fundamen-
tai distinction between real or phil
nsophic" anarchism, as it is called,
gentlest of doctrines, and the perver-
sion of il that breeds creatures like
Czolgosz is ignored, on the idea, ap-
parently, that the theory, however
harmless CT itself, is one that easily
and naturally leads the criminal,
inclined to crime. The French law
creates three distinct classes of crime
-provocation, "apologie and "excita-
ton of soldiers to disobedience of
their superior officers. Apologize,
while it used to be punishable Of
fence in France, was abandoned many
years ago. 1T was not suspected,
says NJ Loubat in his work on the
French law against anarchists that
a disbolical sect would arise to glor-
ify assassination, incendiarism and
destruction and make saints and he
roes of abominsble bandits. So it is
revived and the mere belonging to an
anarchist association or club made q
punishable uffense, with other changes
increasing the penalties nrd prescrib-
Jag changes in legal process calculated
to make conviction more speedy and
certain. The publication of report
of anarchist trials in the courts is
prohibited unde. heavy penalties.

impossible by heapirg up fresh penal

providence and the refusal to recognize
any God whose will is law. The rem
