The Cosmopolitan for August is, as usual
rich in fiction, remarkable both for its
vivid interest and its great variety. Irving
Bachelor writes a refreshing story of the
Canadian big'timber region, and Hering's
drawings catch the spirit of the scene per-
fectly. A. T. Quiler-Couch's ("Q.")
pathetic little tale cannot fail to enlist our
sympathies with the French exile who
broke bis parole for love. Richard l.

certain not only to entertain the reader,

with which she is thoroughly at home;

Southwestern Royal Arch School.

The Eleventh Annual Session of the
Southwestern Royal Arch School was held
at Eggleston's Spring last month, begin
ming on the 18th of the month and con-
tinuing for ten days. From all accounts 1t
was the most successful session the school
has ever enjoyed.
The school was organized in 1891 and
since its birth las been constantly grow
ing in interest and usefulness to Royal
Arch Masonry. In 1891 there were but
three Chapters in the two Districts in
Southwest Virginia, now there are twelve.
Before the organization of the school no
two Chapters worked alike, now as re-
suit of the annual teaching at the schools
there is not only uniformity Of work in
this District but throughout the State.
O'Keeffe Chapter, at Tazewell, from the
beginning, has taken prominent part in
the affairs of the school. DR.. O'Keefe
has been President for SIX years, and w.
g. Young is now Secretary.
j. +. Alexander and w. J. Hubbard, the
finest teachers in the St tie in the Esoteric
work, always attend the school, and with
unlimited patience and perseverance i'm.
part the work to the classes.
Each year interest IN the school increas-
es, and delegates from Chapters at Nor
folk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Manchester
and other points in the State are among
the visitors. There we're 10S Royal Arch
Masons present during the session of the
school which was held last month.
Truly the work of this school has been |
wonderful, and It's next annual session |
may be looked forward to with great inter-
est by all the craft in Virginia.

JAEGER ON TOP.


After a legal battle of twenty FIVE yeare
duration, Col. VIM. 6. w. Jaeger is be-
ginning to get the full benefit of his claim
for large boundaries of valuable coal and
timber lands in Mcdowell county, w. Va.
About ten days ago Col. Jaeger con-
cluded the sale of the portions of the
Jaeger and Ulman lands lying on the
waters of Dry Fork and Tug river, known
as the 10000 acre Pollard Grant The
sale was made to the Pocahontas Coal and
Coke Company, the price paid was $780,,
600. The sale does not include any part
OF the 10000 acre tract which lies upon
and is drained by Elkhorn Creek. Col
Jaeger considers his Elkhorn lands, by far,
the most valuable of any portion of the
boundary. These Ekhorn lands are In
volved in litigation, in suit between Col.
Jaeger and the Flat Top Coal Land Associa-
ton. There was a trial in the United
States Circuit Court for West Virginia in
1898, which lasted for several months and
the verdict was not satisfactory to Colonel
Jaeger. A motion was, therefore, made by
his counsel to set aside the verdict; and,
Judge Jackson, who presided at the trial,
did set aside the verdict and grant new
trial. Judge Jackson delivered an able
and elaborate opinion, in granting the new
trial, which is reported in 100 Federal Re-
porter. The judge set aside the verdict
upon the ground that the jury in locating
the boundaries of the 10000 acres fol.
lowed Elkhorn Creek instead of extending
its lines beyond it, 30 as to include some
fifteen or twenty thousand acres lying east
and north of that stream. Col. Jaeger
and his counsel are very confident of win
ming complete victory at the next trial.
We have no doubt he will, as success seems
to be his fortune.
Col. Jaeger has a great many warm
friends in Tazewel who will be glad to
hear of bis recent good fortune.
