Pleasant Evening at Masonic HALL.

Past Master Z W. Webster was
given a little send off by the Masons
last Wednesday. The first part of
the evening was devoted to comforting
the third degree on Il. M. McAllister
by W. M, c. B. Greene, assisted by a
very able corps OF associate officers.
After the work was done Chaplain
Booth was called for by the Master,
who in a short but exceedingly nice
speech, presented Bro. Webster with
a Past Masters charm, in behalf of
the members of the lodge. Bro. Kel-
logg was then called out and made a
few jovial remarks as to the advisa-
bility of his giving Bro. Webster a
send off in the manner as might have
been construed by the Masters invi-
tation. He expressed the feelings and
good wishes of the fraternity on the
occasion of Bro. Webster leaving Nor
risville. Mr.. Webster replied to the
presentation speech and the remarks
that followed in very pleasing man.
ner
The lodge was then closed and all
adjourned to the banquet hall where
a tempting repast was partaken of
after which some of Bro. McAllister's
cigars we're enjoyed.
Several visiting Masons we're in at
tendance and all expressed regret al
the early departure of E. W. Webster
for New York. He has thegood wish
es of host of friends.

Application of Road Material.

The evils from improper construction
of stone roads are even greater than
those resulting from the use of i'm
proper material. Macadam never in
tended that a Heterogeneous conglom-
GRAFTON Of stones and mud should be
called a macadam road. The mistake
is often made of depGsiting broken
stone on an old road without first pre-
pairing a suitable foundation. The re-
suit In most cases Is that the dirt and
mud prevent the stone from packing
and by the action of traffic ooze to the
surface, while the stones sink deeper
and deeper, leaving the road as bad as
before.

clergymen Collect Their own Dues.

An extraordinary survival from the
primitive tradition of the clergy openly
collecting their own dues in kind from
the people may now be seen in full swing
in the rural districts Of upper Savoy, in
Switzerland. Every year about the mid
die of October clergymen, attended by
youths bearing sacks and baskets, go
from village to village, receiving the con-
tributions of their parishioners. No sort
of consumable commodity comes amiss,
though money is most favored. and ev-
cry evening the sack or basket goes back
heavily loaded. These contributions are
a popular test of responsibility, and
many a housewife has been known to
borrow the whole amount of her offering

Cultivate RepoBe.

Sarah Bernhardt says that writer's on
beauty often try to impress upon their
readers that neither joy nor grief, neither
laughter nor tears, should be permitted TO
mar the smoothness OF the skin or the
softness of the mouths curves. They
should have the face look like a wax
mask. There is, however, happy medi-
um between the expressionless doll un-
wrinkled face and the face which is full
of character, but wrinkled by uncontroll-
ed temper and ungoverned moods. We
should never try to feel, but cultivate self
control that subdues the manifestations
Of feeling in puckerings. Cultivate re-

GICl OGdtn FNCNtdlC1s
New York, Oct. The strange
story Of a woman who preferred to
pass for man was revealed by the
death yesterday of Miss Carolina
Hall, Of Boston, cabin passenger on
the steamship Citta Di Terino, which
arrived from Naples and other Medi-
terranean ports on Sunday. On the
passenger list Miss Hall appeared as
"Mr. Charles Window Hail." and with
him" on the ship was Mrs Hall. 1t
was not until the former was stricken
with a mortal illness that the ships
surgeons made the discovery that the
supposed man was a woman. The
MRS Hall" is an Italian girl, Gui-
seppina Poriania by name. She met
Miss Hall in Milan three years ago,
and has acted as her travelling com
panion. According to her story, Miss
Hall decided that men get along bet
ter in the world than women, and so
adopted male costume. She travelled
thus with the other for two years, and
as she was an artist, went about the
art centres. painting and working at
her profession. When she decided to
come home she asked the Italian
woman t2 accompany her. Her father
is Colonel Hall, a retired army officer,
living at Boston. He has been noti-
fed Of her death.

sTARTLINe MURDER MYSTERY
Did Brothers Murder sister and Mar
She Was TO Marry7

She Was to Marryf
De Soto, Mo, Oct. Evidence that
seems to be indisputable was present
ed to Coroner Taylor yesterday that
John Meloy and Mrs. Sarah Uren
were both murdered in the woman's
house last Saturdar night. William
and Dan Greenhill, brothers of the
woman, are kept under close guard.
Both brothers claimed that excitement
had led them to mutilate with hatchet
and ak what they believed to be their
sisters dead body and that Of Meloy.
The testimony OF three doctors who
examined the bodies, however, was to
the effect that the hatchet wounds in
the head had been inflicted before the
bullets were fired into the brains of
the victims. It was generally under
stood among his friends that Meloy
was to marry Mrs. Uren and that the
match was not pleasing to the wom'
ans brothers.
