WENT TO LODGE.

Saturday evening 10th inst.
M. ID. Matthias and B. III. Shaw
of Hustontown went over to Lit
tleton to attend Lodge. Being
little late when they arrived at
the outer door, they found it clos
ed, but an alarm attracted the at
tention of the Outside Guardian,
and they soon found themselves
in the ante-room. Here they
found hats, caps, and overcoats
hanging around so numerous that
they were quite bewildered, and
just then there broke forth such
volume of voices in the main
room on the opening ode that it
occurred to them that something
out of the ordinary was going on.
The matter was all made plain
when at last they succeeded in
making their way into the lodge
room, for they found there about
twenty visiting brethren from
Three Springs No. 700 that owes
it's maternity to old 484.
Not the least of the many pleas
urable events in their visit was
the elegant supper served by
mine host Barnett of the Eagle.
But, not to make too long a
story, it came time for the Hus-
ton town brothers, before men
toned, to start home; and they
went out to the post where they
had hitched and blanketed their
horse. If they were surprised
when they saw the hats in the
ante-room, they were dumbfound-
ed now when they found that
their horse and buggy were gone.
The thought of a midnight trudge
to Hustontown was not so dis.
tracing as were visions of a
stolen team, smashed up buggy
or crippled horse.
To aid them Frank Bare lent
them good lantern, and they
took the trail leading toward
Hustontown. When they reach
ed Nick Purcell's, they found the
horse had taken a by-road lead
ing into the woods. The light of
hope was now dying out as fast
as the snuff on an extinguished
tallow-dip. Every step they ex-
pected to come in view of a big
smash-up. But all is we'll that
ends well. When they were
about to abondon the search, they
met the horse coming quietly
back with the blanket still on, and
the buggy unharmed. Query;
Was the horse hunting the driv-
ersO All were happy alike.
Our Odd-fellow brothers were
soon making a bee-line for home,
congratulating themselves that
nothing worse than a bad scare,
and walk from Littleton had
happened to them.

DAVID X. BARE.

AU J1e aye VI % yedrS,o iilOliJilS,
and 13 days, David K. Bare well
known business man of this coun-
ty, died at his home, at Ft. Littleton
on Wednesday evening, February
90, 1901, and was inferred in the
cemetery at that place on Friday.
The deceased was a son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob D. Bare,
and was born on a farm near
Maddensville, Huntingdon coun-
ty. He remained with his parents
until twenty years of age, avail
ing himself of what educational
advantages the home public
schools offered, and completing a
course at the Milnwood Acade-
my at Shade Gap. He then en-
tered the store of G. j. Deavor at
Mount Union as clerk, spent one
year there, and then one year
with Foust & Eteneir, of the same
place. At the close ofthatperiod,
which was in 1866, he and his
father purchased the store and
buildings of Michael Barndollar
at Fort Littleton, and conducted
a general mercantile business in
partnership until the death of the
latter in 1889, when the business
passed entirely into his hands
ond so remained until three years
ago, when he associated with
himself his son Frank, and the
business since that time has been
conducted under the name of ID.
K. Bare & son.
Mr.. Bare became member of
Fort Littleton Lodge of Odd Eel
lows, March 6, 1869;and upon the
death of Hon. j. j. Cromer, be-
came Secretary, remaining in
that position until failing health
made it necessary for him to re-
linquish it.
December 80, 1874, he was uni
ted in marriage with Miss Bertha
E. Wilt of Fort Littleton. Two
children are the result of this
union-Frank, and Miss Emma,
who, with their mother, survive
the deceased.
In the fall of '95 Mr.. Bare's
health began to decline; and, not
withntanding the fact that since
that time in addition to most care.
full attention of local physicians,
he employed specialists in New
York, Pittsburg and Chicago, his
health became worse, and during
the past few months he had been
a great sufferer.
Thirty eight years ago he iden-
titled himself with the Church of
God and his life has been most
exemplary. While never seeking
public preferment, he was fire.
quently elected school director,
and being a great friend of the
public school system made a most
efficient officer.
The last sad rites were most
impressive as the brethren of the
order he loved so much, passed
around the open grave, each low
ingly and tearfully dropping a
sprig of evergreen upon the cas-
ket, suggestive of the fact that
the memory of the virtues of the
deceased brother shall never fade
from the minds of those he leaves
to mourn his loss.

ATE THEIR FELLOWS.
shIpwrecked Men on Raft Forty Days
Two Out Of Twelve Survive.

LONDON, April 9.-The Singapore
correspondent Of the Daily Express
wires a story Of cannibalism at sea
brought to Singapore by two survivors
of the Novo Scotian bark Angola
which was wrecked six days after
sailing from Manila, October % last
The correspondent says:
"The urvivors-Johnson, a Swede,
and Marticornu, a Spaniard-assert
that the Angola struck a reef. Two
RATS were built. The smaller, bear
ing five men, disappeared. The other,
with IL men, drifted for AZ days. The
sailors ate barnacles, seaweed, and
finally their boots, and ON the 25th
day two became insane and killed
themselves. On the 26th Frenchman
killed the mate with an ak, drank his
blood and tried to eat his brains, but
was prevented by the others. Next
day the Frenchman was killed while
attempting to murder the captain. The
survivors, all of whom were now in
sane, ate the Frenchman's body Can
nibalism continued until only Johnson
and Martlcornu remained. On the 42d
day the raft stranded on Subj, or Flat
island, in the Natuna group, north
west of Borneo. Johnson and Mar
ticornu were awfully emaciated.
Friendly Malays sent them by junk to
Singapore"

AGREED TO BY CANADA.
viii Examine all Cattle Destined for
United States.

WASHINGTON, April 9-As a re-
suit of negotiations between Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson and the Cana
dian minister of agriculture, an agree
ment has been reached between the
two administrations by which Canada
is to have a first-class veterinarian sta
toned in England to test for tuber-
culosis all British cattle shipped to
this country via Canada. The Cana
dian administration wanted cattle to
be admitted from Canada without tests
at the border by American experts.
The department at Washington would
not agree to this. Secretary Wilson
said, however, that if Canada would
send to England an agent who should
have sufficient expert knowledge of
the subject, the United States would
admit cattle upon his certificate that
the cattle had been tested and found
free of tuberculosis. This was agreed
to by the Canadian minister. 1t is
officially explained that about 10 per
cent of the livestock in the United
States and about 40 per cent in Great
Britain have tuberculosis. The cattle
on the continent of Europe are so dis.
eased that this government will not
permit the admission of any animals
from there.

Makes Good Speed in Two Trials on
Puget Sound.

SEATTLE, April 10.-The torpedo
boat destroyer Goldsborough, butt b.
Wolff & Zwicker, OF Portland, was
given two of the first of her Official
trial runs in Puget Sound, OF AlSi
Point Saturday; one in the morning
and the other in the afternoon. The
official trial board comprised of Lieu
tenant Commanders G.. II. Peters ana
Bulmer, Lieutenants A. b. Wilson ana
G. Ohler; Assistant Naval Constructor
Adams, all Of the batteshlp Iowa;
Frederick Ballin, representing the
building firm, and several invited
guests of the builders, and the cor
respondent of the Telegram, were
aboard during the trial trips.
IL was 8 o'clock in the morning
when the order was given to cast
away the shore line, and soon the lit
tie steel flyer swung from her moor
ngs and headed down the harbor for
Alki Point. She made the trip over
lt a comparatively slow speed Thou
sands of spectators lined the wharves

messed a fine sight, seldom seen in
these waters.
Arrived at Alki Point, orders were
given to let her go full speed ahead
The smoke poured from her two
large stacks in dense columns, as she
fairly flew through the blue waters
of the Sound, squirting the spray high
into the air from her bow. Over to
Magnolia bluff she sped, like a race.
horse, eager to win the highest tro-
phies; circling around she crossed
back on the course just traversed.
This was repeated four complete
trips. Arriving back at Alh Point,
where Puget Sound steamers make
their runs to the city from Tacoma,
she paused, as if to catch her breath,
when the Flyer, the fastest steamer
on the Sound, appeared. Still the
Goldsborough waited. The Flyer came
alongside, then passed on. The full
speed ahead signal was given, and
then race such as was never before
witnessed on Puget Sound, began, the
distance to the city being three miles.
Faster and faster through the waters
sped the little steel destroyer, and it
seemed that the Flyer had suddenly
stopped so slow was her speed com
pared to that of the Goldsborough.
The latter was at her dock and tied
up before the Flyer had blown her
city whistle. Probably never again
will so grand and majestic a sight
be seen as that race, and the immense
crowds on the docks seemed to ap-
preciate it, for as the Goldsborough
drew near to her wharf she was greet
ed with tremendous shouts from a
thousand and more throats. At noon
the party went to the Butler cafe.
where they were given a banquet by
Mr.. Balm.

WOMEN TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA.
English Girls Apply by Hundreds for
the Opportunity.

NEW YORK, April 10-A rather un-
expected result has followed Mr..
Chamberlain recent speech in sup
port of the scheme for sending women
out to South Africa, at the conclusion
of the war, says the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune An enor.
nous number of letters has been re.
ceived from women eager to emigrate
and reluctant to wait until hostilities
are ended One woman who wrote
direct to Lord Salisbury said she was
prepared to go out at once with her
mother and sisters, but she indicates
no particular sphere of usefulness.
Another wrote to the colonial office
in behalf of herself and a few other
"first-class lady BARRIERS" Naturally,
the colonial Office authorities are do
ing their utmost to discourage appli-
cations from women other than those
who are self-dependent, and girls Of
the servant type are urgently advised
not to go at all 1t is very doubtful
whether there will be any openings
for them, and the public funds cannot
be used for the purpose of granting
free passages to the Cape.

INTERVIEW WITH KRUGER.
Opinion Of TransvaaI ex-President on
the Situation,

C tnc olLudtlOns
NEW YORK, April 8.--A dispatch
to the Herald from Paris says:
An interview with Mr.. Kruger APP
pears in the Matin. The ex-president
OF the Transvaal was seen in mod
est little inn at Utrecht, where he is
staying for the moment. His eyes
have been very much improved by
recent operations, and he can now dis
pense with spectacles. Sitting in
front of table with Bible under
his left hand, Mr.. Kruger delivered
himself of an important statement,
to which further significance was
given by the presence of the Orange
Free State delegate, Herr Fischer.
Mr.. Kruger began by announcing
that Saturday next he proposes retir-
ing into the country for complete
rest. The little village Of Hilbersum,
not far from Utrecht, has been Sc
lected for his abode. Nothing has
yet been decided regarding his trip to
America. Mr.. Kruger will undertake
the journey II his strength permits
and IL there is any hope of gaining
advantage for the Boer cause.
IOlullub W IlSII rloCHSis lue dbSu
president declared that the two re-
publics are indissolubly united.
Herr Fischer" he said, "is fight
ing for the same cause as my heroic
friend President Steyn. The two
presidents and the two commanding
generals, Botha and Dewet, will share
the same fate"
On being questioned regarding the
reliance he placed on the Boer of
fetal kilograms and statements in
parliament, Mr.. Kruger, half rising
from his arm chair, declared:
"The British government, British
telegraph and the British press al
ways try to make this much"-and he
measured his little finger-"look like
this much"-and he extended both
arms.
81 am persuaded everything is go
ing well there precisely because our
enemies continue to dissimulate and
travesty facts. AS regards General
Bothas negotiations, the public knows
from the blue book and by reading
General Botha's last dispatch that it
was the British general who first made
proposals. Never did the Boer gen.
eral refuse to listen. We do not fight,
except for peace. We are not con-
querors, but, although General Botha
listened to the British proposals, he
never uttered a word of equivocation
on the subject of independence. In
dependence is the only treasure we
cherish, even If we have to sacrifice
all others. 1t is for this reason our
citizens forsook their farms and sac
rificed their lives, and our women and
children now suffer temporary servi-
tude in the enemy's camp.
