Founded on Blue Degrees.

EOuuuCo OA 0AAS &S6ACOS'
 The ritual of this order is founded upon the Blue Degrees-entered apprentice, fellow craftsman and master mason--or the St. John s Masonry as 1t is called in Scotland.
 General Pike's manuscript on the esoteric symbols of the three degrees of Blue Masonry is dedicated to the Royal Order of Scotland. There are only two copies. and the author or dered that no more than this number should ever be made. One of these copies is kept in the secret vault of the Holy House for the nerusaI of Masonic scholars, and the other was sent by private hand as a gift to his friend. Robert FTeke Gould. the foremost Masonic his- torian in England. This copy in England is as carefully guarded as the one in the Holy House here.
 Head of the Scottish Rite.
 Those who knew General Plks's peculiar fitness for such an undertaking-how he brought his poetic feeling and singular wis- dom to bear upon Masonic symboIism-can i'm agine what an invaluable treatise this ls General Pike was looked upon by all the Ma sonic dignitaries and students of Great Brl- tain as not only the head of the Scottish hite but the most thoroughly informed Master Ma son and ablest writer on the Blue Degrees lh the United Sttaes.

KANSAS CROP REPORTS
Damage to Fruit aud Crops Are wide
spread.


Topeka, Kans., July 10.-Kansas Is just
as hot as it was yesterday and many de-
grees dryer The temperatures through
out the state today ranged from 100 to
10S On account of the dryness Of the
atmosphere very few prostrations were
reported but the damage to crops and
fruit was widespread.
Corn has been seriously damaged
though there is yet some hope for the
late product. Early corn VIII not yield
anything. Late corn shrivels up during
the day. but at night unfolds again. The
farmers are cultivating it well, and the
weeds are entirely missing. If rain comes
within the present week, Kansas Will yet
have a good corn crop of late corp.
The splendid fruit prospects of early
spring are entirely blighted.
Berries and small fruits are a total loss.
Apples. peaches and pear trees. laden
with half grown fruit, are shriveiing up
and dying in the fierce heat. There is
widespread depression Throughout the
state because Of the drouth which IS the
worst experienced here. But Kansas
farmers are better prepared to endure the
consequences of a drouth now than for
many years past. The wheat crop was
never better, and most of thte farmers
are out Of debt.
AS serious as he loss Of the crops in
Kansas, is the diminution OF the water
supply in the cities. Most of the larger
cities would be tonight helpless in the
face of large fire. on account Of the in
ability Of the water companies TO keep
up the proper pressure in thte mains.

great fields Of corn lying along the north
Canadian valley, between Oklahoma City
and El Reno are certainly a magnificent
sight and must be seen to be realized.
Thousands Of threshers are at work over

better part OF the fan and winter.
But all the interest to the tourist IN ok

cities on the way present many attrac-
lions. At Kingdsher and Hennessey
many things greet and hold the attention,
but principally the great business done
and hustling capacities Of the people.
Cashion is a surprise. Taking into con-
sideration It's youth the substantial bus

Of Oklahoma people.
Guthrie IS interesting principally be
cause the politicians are there. and be-
cause Governor Jenkins gives all the
promise Of becoming the best executive
Oklahoma has ever had. He IS certainly
doing his whole duty.

Newport, r. L, July 1O.-The third race
between the Constitution. Columbia and
Independence came to an inglorious end
late this afternoon IN a dead calm and
the thickest kind Of Atlantic fogs. There
was little time 10 form judgment on the
relative speeds Of the three boats. for
less than half an hour after the start
the boats ran into the fog. and at no time
after that could all three be seen at one
time. A little over an hour after the
start the Constitution withdrew and came
back TO the city. The Columbia and In
dependence stood on fer the outer mark,
which they rounded with the Columbia
about mile in the lead. The wind. how
ever, died down almost to calm and
the leading boat could not finish in the
time limit. The race was therefore on
and Will be sailed over tomorrow. At
the time the Constitution withdrew she
was leading the Columbia in the beat to
windward by nearly a mile. and the In
dependence by nearly two miles.
