TAKE RADICAL STEP.
Odd Fellows Vote to Allow Duplicate
Copies of the Secret Work of
the Order.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 21.-A step
that is regarded as the most important
ever taken as to the secret work Of
odd fellowship, was recorded Friday
when the Sovereign Grand Lodge, the
supreme body, voted to allow duplicate
copies of the secret work of the order
TO be made. At every. session for 20
years or more an attempt has been
made to this end, but until Friday
every attempt has failed. Since the
founding of odd fellowship there has
been only one copy of the secret work
of the order. This is not printed, but is
stamped on parchment. 1t is kept by
q guardian specially appointed for that
purpose. No one is allowed to cast his
eyes on it unless that one is an officer
or grand representative in the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge. During the ses-
sion of the supreme body in this city
the copy of the secret work has been
kept in room under the watchful
eyes of two guardians. The resolu-
ton adopted Friday provides that each
state jurisdiction shall receive one
copy of the secret work. No additional
copies will be made. Each state and
each lodge now has the ritualistic
work which is secret also, but the
signs and some other secrets not men
toned are never given except by word
Of mouth.
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 1s.--It is es-
timated that $4,000 visitors were here
Tuesday. The parade of odd fellows
in the afternoon contained $4,000 men
in line, including IS brass bands. At
night the 1,400 musicians in the Wis
ting bands united at the monument
and played Nearer, NY God, to Thee"
and 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner" to
crowd of $4,000 people. The united
bands then marched through the
crowded downtown streets.

TORPEDO BOAT FOUNDERS.
British Destroyer Sunk as Result Of
Ext tosion and Many Lives
Are Lost.

London, Sept. 2o.-The torpedo
boat destroyer, The Cobra, has
foundered in the North sea, the re-
suit of an explosion. The ship was
en- route from the yard of her build
ers, the Armstrong;, of Newcastle, tc
Portsmouth.
The Cobra, 1t became known later,
had on board AZ naval men and about
IS men in the employ of the contract
ors. So far as known only IL meH
have been saved, and it is still
believed they are the only sur
vivors. Five boats were launched
after The Cobra struck, but some OF
them were swamped in the heavy sea
which was running at the time.

THREE ARE KILLED.
Result of an Accident ON the Pere
Marquette Road, Near
Wayne, Mich.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 21.-Three men
were killed and one probably fatally
hurt at Wayne, Mich, small place
about 12 miles west of here, Friday
night as the result of a freight wreck
on the Pere Marquette railroad. The
dead are: Charles De Long, Bay City,
Mich; George Leopard, Bay City; j.
w. Sweeney, Toledo, o. The injured
man is Lemuel McNay, residence un-
known. He is badly crushed and may
die. The men, it is supposed, were
stealing a ride. The wreck occurred
on account of the sudden application
of the brakes by the engineer to
avoid running into car on the track
ahead of the train. Four cars in the
train piled up as result, the men
being crushed in the wreckage. The
property damage was not large.

CAUSED HEAVY LOSS.
cago Collapses Seven Persons
Hurt-Damage Exceeds $2OO,OOO.

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-The roof of A..
M. Rothschild's large department
store, which comprises one block, from
Van Buren, to Jackson streets, facing
State street, fell shortly before nine
o'clock last night, causing a dam
age estimated at over 100000. Seven
people were injured. Contractors had
been for the past few days at work in
the store making alterations, and by
eularging an arch had removed a few
iron pillars, and by,so doing, it is sup
posed, weakened the supports to such
an extent that the roof was too weak
to hold the large water tank which
was placed there for use in case of fire,
and it came crashing through, carrying
the six lower floors with it. Had it oc-
CURED during the daytime the loss of
life would certainly have been great.

PEACE OF EUROPE.
csar and Kaiser Said to Have Agreed
to Wage No War for
Ten Years.

Il London, Sept. 23.-It is asserted
here that the car and kaiser have
each pledged themselves to peace for
O period of ten years, during which
time neither Russia nor Germany will
engage in war with any other power
There is every reason to believe
that he has done this. The kaiser
earnestly and emphatically informed
the people at Dantzig that as a re-
suit of conversations with his illus
trious guest he had assured the peace
of Europe for many years.
Bethany, Sept. %. - Russia and
France, through their rulers, pro-
claimed to the world in speeches here
Saturday afternoon that in the fu-
ture, as in the past, their interna-
tional policies will be identical. In
unmistakable words Gear Nicholas II.
and President Loubet not only put at
rest all doubts as to the continuance
of the dual alliance, but declared that
it is stronger and closer than ever,
and that it's voice will be heard, in the
words of the car, 'both far and
near"
The car declares that united Rus
STA and France are able to make their
rights "respected". while President
Loubet says the alliance will always
be on the side of settlements Sin
spired by justice and humanity" The
Interpretation freely given to this
last utterance is warning to Great
Britain on the Boer war.
Significance is added to these dec
larations by the fact that they were
delivered after the two rulers had
able martial scenes in recent years
the review of 100000 French troops
on the plains of Bethany, with every
branch of the service, as one enthu-
siastic member of the chamber of
deputies put it, ''ready for instant
war;"
The following is an extract from
the cars address after the review:
1--WE shall continue both far and near
to associate ourselves with all that con-
Germs friendly France. The intimate union
of the two great powers, animated by the
most pacific intentions, and who, while
able to make their rights respected. do not
seek TO inJure In any way tne rights VI
others, is a precious element Of appease-
ment for the whole Of humanity"
The following is portion of Pres
ident Loubet's address after the re-
view:
"The alliance has developed with the
years, and the questions which have arisen
have found It watchful and resolute. rec
onciling its own interests with the gen.
eral interests of the world. 1t Is moderate
becuse It is strong, and is won over in adj
vance to settlements which are inspired
by justice and humanity. The good which
1t has done is pledge that 1t will do
still MORE
London, Sept. 23.-In London the
speech of President Loubet when pro-
posing the health of the car and car
ina at the luncheon which followed the
review at Bethany Saturday is in no
way regarded as an indication of any
intention on the part of the Russian
emperor to intervene in South African
affairs. Even in Paris reflection
seems to have convinced many pa
pers that there was very little in the
words of M. Loubet and that beyond
confirmation of the Franco-Russ sian
alliance, little has been achieved by
the visit of the Russian sovereigns.

WANTS FACTS ONLY.
Admiral schley Gains . Point In In
auiry when Court Bsrs Opin-
Ions Of witnesses.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The Schley
court of inquiry reconvened Friday
and before adjournment examined
four witnesses. The most important
incident of the day was the decision
of the court withdrawing q question,
put by the court itself, asking wit
ness to give his opinion concerning
point under controversy. The wit
ness was Rear Admiral Higginson,
who participated in the Santiago
campaign as captain of the battle
ship Massachusetts,. This vessel at
one time was part of the flying
squadron, commanded by Commodore
Schley, and the court asked him to
state whether all possible measures
were taken to capture or destroy the
Spanish vessel Christobal Colon as it
lay in Santiago harbor from May 20
to June 1, 1898. Council for Admiral
Schley objected to the question on
the ground that reply would involve
an opinion and not statement Of
facts. Judge Advocate Lemly admit
ted that the presidents were against
questions of this character, and the
court withdrew this interrogatory. 1t
is generally admitted that this deci-
sion will have the effect of material
ly shortening the term Of the court,
as will also the courts manifest in
tention to cut out irrevelant ques-
tions and all hearsay testimony. In
several cases the witnesses were adj
monished to relate only events COM
ing within their own observation.
Admiral Dewey showed himself
prompt and methodical presiding Off
Ger. He called the court to order ex-
actly at the designated hour and adj
journed it just as promptly at four
o'clock.
The witnesses Friday were Rear
Admiral Higginson, who commanded
the battleship Massachusetts, during
the Spanish war; Capt. c. M. Chester,
who commanded the cruiser Cincin-
natl; Maj. Thomas N. Wood, of the
marine corps, who commanded the
marines on the Massachusetts,, and
Commander Giles b. Harbor, who was
executive officer of the Texas, the
latter being on the stand when. the
court adjourned. The attendance Of
the public was small.

ADVANCE CHECKED.
British Scouts Repel nm Attack by
Beers Under Kritxinger-NOted
Omcer Killed.

London, Sept. 23.-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Sep.
TENDER %: "Kritzinger, while en-.
deavoring to force passage of the
Orange river, near Herschell, at one
o'clock Friday morning, rushed upon
the camp of party of Lovatt's
scouts. He failed to cross the river,
but the scouts lost heavily. Lieut.. Col.
Hon. Andrew Murray and Capt. MUIR
ray, his adjutant, were killed. Deeply
regret the loss of Col. Murray, who
throughout the war had led Lovatt's
scouts with great gallantry. Under
cover of darkness the Beers managed
to carry off gun. They were prompt
ly followed up and the gun was re-
covered in a smart engagement, in
which Kritzinger lost two killed and
20 taken prisoners"
He further reports the capture Of
two commandoes-on consisting Of IS
men under Commandant Kochs, who
were taken, together with their en-
tire transport, west of Adenburg, and
the other consisting of "a men, includ-
ing p. j. Botha, who were taken with
4s wagons and their belongings As
miles southeast of Carolina.
London, Sept. 23.-Lord Kitchener's
latest dispatches, although they con-
tain good news as well as bad, have
done little to reassure the public con-
corning the state of affairs. The loss
of Lieut.. Col. Murray, brother of
Lord Mansfield, is keenly felt. There
is little doubt that further details will
show IL was a serious affair. Lord
Kitchener announces that the Buff
falo river is flooded and that there Is
no change in the situation in Natal.
The latter fact shows that Gen. Lyttel-
ton has not yet succeeded in Interior
ing with the movements of Command
ant Gen. Botha. p. j. Botha, whose
capture Lord Kitchener reports, is a
brother of the Boer commandant.

Blanched almonds are the highest
kind of nerve or brain or muscle food,
having no heat or waste, says a writer
in Good Housekeeping. Walnuts give
brain or nerve food, muscle, heat and
waste. Green water grapes are blood
purifying. but Of little food value. Blue
grapes are feeding and blood purifying,
but too rich for those who suffer from
the liver. Tomatoes have higher nerve
or brain food qualities; they are thin
ming and stimulating. Juicy fruits give
more or less nerve or brain nutriment
and some few muscle food and waste.
Apples supply the higher nerve and
muscle food. but do not give staying
qualities. Prunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food, supply heat and
waste, but are not muscle feeding. Or
anges are refreshing and feeding.
Green figs contain nerve and muscle
food, heat and waste. The great ma
jority of small fresh seed fruits are
laxative. Lemons and tomatoes should
not be used daily in cold weather; they
have thinning and cooling effect.
Raisins are stimulating according to
their quality.

Abyssininns Expert at Thntchins

In describing Abyssinia and its
strange capital a writer in Parsons
tells of It's mushroom growth as fol-
lows: A crowd of workers appears with
loads of sticks some II feet high. These
are planted In the ditch to erect the
walls, and few more sticks are twist
ed in and out to keep them together
Now comes the preparation of the roof
A number of men climb up inside and
bind together more sticks like the
frame Of an umbrella. AS soon as these
are In position they Chamber outside
like monkeys and set to work to thatch.
For this purpose they bring great
bundles of hay and Irvine it between
the sticks. They are not an artistic ma
ton, and they have next to no indus
tries, but at thatching they are really
expert, and they turn out work which
would call for admiration even In a
civilized country. They do not trouble
to produce an elegant finish, but this
often adds to the picturesqueness Of a
