Poor Pnpn,s Poor Patients

Here is a little story of little girl,
the daughter of a local physician OF
credit and renOwn:
She is a bright child of six and has
been much petted by her admiring
friends. Perhaps this has spoiled her
a little, but she is so sweet and enter
tanning that visitors can't keep their
hands off of her.
One of these visitors, a new neigh
OOr, made a call on the little maid's S
mother, and it was but a few mo-
ments before the little maid was on
her lap.
In the chatter which followed the
lady made some allusion to the little
ones grandmother.
"Why, didn't ypu know?" cried the
child.

just as great a menace 40 our present
prosperity, and the expense OF running
the campaign this year will be just as
large as was the expense two years
ago, it has been decided not to send
o t such a circular this year. We be-
lieve that Republicans throughout the
country realize the importance of this
years campaign in Ohio. A Demo
Cractic victory here would be in the
light of rebuke to the National and
State administrations, aud would
Sc em 10 fOreshadow the election of a
Democratic house of representatives,
next year. 1t would mean that this
State would be redistriCted and the
number of Democratic congressman
from Ohio largely increased. Real
izing the importance. of this year cam
paIgn, we feel sure that Republicans
all over the country will gladly render
their assistance without waiting for
the formality of letter from our COM
mittee. 1t is only necessary they
should know that we will be glad OF
their help"

Midnight,

From darldiHg steep. and misty vale,
What wonder dawns upon the sight7
The summer moon, ball of fire
That burns across the sultry night
While flash and flicker from afar
Fantastic ireflies IN their play,
On shining mead, and dew-wet marsh,
The tOrchligEt dancers swing and sway.
A red star hang o'sr woodlands dusk,
Wandering bTeezes fade away,
The trailing sweetness of the hour
Spirit-like haunts the garden way.
Only the moon, and midnight deep,
Touching the soul with hand OF power;
Dreams that arise, an incense rare,
Mem Ties rich as the magic hoGE.

Disastrous.
From The Ohio State Journal, Sept. so, 1901.

From The Ohio State Journal, Sept. 50, 1901
Two years ago the finance COM
mittee of the Ohio Republican State
executive commIttee prepared and
mailed circular letter, calling attent~
ion 70 the importance of the State
campaign that year and stating that
voluntary contributions for the leglti-
mate expenses Ofthe State committee
would be very gladly received, The Sc
we're mailed to the leading Republi-
cans throughout the country. Because
some of the letters were delivered TO
federal officers within the government
buildings where they were employed,
Cyer.zealous friends of the civil SER
vice law contended that the law had
been thereby violated and brought the
matter to the attention OF the federal
grand iurv. The law this subject
forbids soliciting campaign conulDu
tions from any officer or employe OF the
United. States in any room or building
occupied by him in the discharge OF
his official duties, but the grand jury
very sensibly concluded that II was no
violation of this law to address a letter
40 a postmaster, or TO any federal
officer in a government building merely
for the purpose of informing him he
might tribute 20 the campaign tnnd
if he so desired. Not only was

Yesterday what is said to be the
first conviction for ticket forgery ever
obtained in Cook county. Frank L.
Rice and Jacob Wolf were the defend
ants found guilty, the penalty being
ImpriSonmentlin the penitentiary, under
the Indertiminate law, from one tC
fourteen years.
"Rice is said to be 4 member o the
ticket brokerage firm of Allardt & Co.,
IS5 Clark street, and suspicion was
directed toward Kim in a peculiar way.
Wolf was employed as an engraver in
Detroit. Mich. Rice hired Wolf to
make plates Of certain Western roads
which would be copies of tickets in use.
VOLTS Detroit employer discovered
what was being done and the Western
Passenger Association was informed
and Investigated the matter, securing
the evidence which led TO conviction.
About this time forged tickets of
several Western roads were being
placed on the market. They were
traced to Rice, and on July 25 the
authorities searched the office Of the
brokers at I86 Clark street, and
arrested Rice
Henry J., AlIardt, alleged partner of
Rice aud witness in his behalf, was in

Europe's System of Royal Succession.


The most general is that known as
the salic system, under which women
are completely excluded. This is the
rule IN Belgium, Sweden and Norway,
Italy Denmark and Germany. Then
there Is the German-Dutch system un.
der which Germans in all degrees of re.
lationship take precedence of females.
the throne passing to the female line
only in case of the extinction of all the
male lines, however remote. This is
the rule in Holland.-from which the
law takes its name-Russia. and some
of the minor German states. The
third system is our own (English) un.
der which females are excluded when
there are males in the same degree OF
relationship, but take precedence of
males whose degree of relationship is
not SO close as their own. Thus an
elder daughter of the ruling sovereign
gives way to all her younger brothers
and their issue, but takes precedence
of a male cousin or a nephew. This
system is the rule in Spain and Portu-
gal as well as in England.-St. James

MASONIC NOTES.

The management of THE w sHING-
TON BEE has secured the services of
one among the most brilliant and
best posted colored masons in the
country, to furnish masonic news
from all parts of the country, and
if the members of the Masonic Fra
ternltY in Washington and through
out the country will take time to read
THE WASHINGTON BEE, they will find
its columns from time to time filled
with much important masonic inform
alton that will enlighten and benefit
the craft.
The cOlOred Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite Masons in the United
States will on the 9th of next August,
1902. at Springfield, Ohio celebrate
the fifty second year of the introduCt-
ion of the Ancient Accepted Scottish
Rite among the colored masons in the
United States. The United Supreme
Council of the Ancient Accepted
Scottish Rite for the southern pand
western masonic jurisdiction of the
United States, its territories and de
pendenCes, will hold at that time their
thirty-third annual session at Spring
field, Ohio, All masons ofthe exalted
rank of the 33rd degree will come from
all sections of the country at that
time. The members of the Supreme
COnncll of the Ancient Accepted Rite
of the thirty-third degree are divided
into two distin gushing branches .,
active and honory members. The
Supreme Council is limited to thirty
three active members and they are
elected for life.
The coloFed masons in the state OF
Florida called meeting to organize
a new grand Lodge foB the state of
Florida. They are in open revolt
against the unmasonic conduct of
Grand Master John Dickerson. II
from what can be learned that
Grand Master DiCkerson ignored all
the masonic lawand masonic teaching
- the order. The action on the part
.. the masOnS of the State of Florida
IL eliminating from the fraternity such
individuals as Dickerson is highly o
be commended, and the sooner they
organize a Grand Lodge and place it
upon legal basis among the Colored
masonS in the state of Florida the
better of they will be.
r. {. Brown and a few orther pro-
minent cOlored masons in the state Of
Florida IS to be congratulated upon
the manly stand that thew have taken,
to forever blot out from free masonry
and remove from the order, ignorant
and narrow minded and incompetent
individuals who have gotten into the
fraternity by mistake and accident.
