Ereka, the Jewel Lodge of this jur-
isdictiOn, convened on Monday, Sept.
%, for the purpose of comforting the
second degree. The lodge was opened
in due form by the Acting Master,
Brother H J. Davis, who invited
Brother Fred Henry, the Master Of
Prince Hall Lodge, to do the work.
He was assisted by Brother Charles
POsey. of Widows Son, as Senior War
den; Brother W. @. Smith as Junior
Warden, Brother A. H. Stevens as Sc
niOr Deacon. The work was per-
formed on four brethren. The effort
of Brother Stevens clearly demon
StrateS him to be the master Senior
Deacon of the jurisdiction. His dis
SertatiOn upon the creation Of the
world and the birth of man and his
companion, woman, was sublime; the
description Of the several orders of ar
chitecture so graphic that we had no
doubt that, like him, we could point
out the trygliphs, frieze, VOlutes, den
tils, cOrnices, and medalliOnS, the hu-
man senses and liberal arts and sci
ences described in such q manner as
to hold his audience SpellbOund. In
short, his work was grand and sub
lime, and the entire craft should have
heard him. Brother Fred Henry, in
giving the symbolism and charge, sus-
tanned his well-earned reputation for
excellent work. 1t was very gratify-
ing to see the officers of these two rival
lodges for the jewel working together
so harmOniOusly for the general good
Of the craft, showing the potent in
f1uence of masonry for the betterment
of mans social and moral condition.

A Study of Political Hystericsa

"a Most Lamentable Comedy is the
title OF q powerful novelette, by Mr..
William Allan White, which begins in
the September II issue of The Saturday
Evening Post. OF Philadelphia. This
absorbing serial is a study of political
hysterics-the story of State gone
mad. The scene of the novelette, is
Western State laboring under the bur-
dens OF panic year. The central fig
ure is grocery store demsgogus whose
hsrebrsined orstory captures the State
convention, The story rises to height
of dramatic power and intensity rarely
QuGItd IN the fictiODCt the day.

rected his step at that instant but he
believes now more firmly than ever
that 'there is a divinity that shapes
our ends" Our fears Of the impend-
ing cyclone this week proved ground
less, for after a refreshing rain, which
was much needed, the wind ceased to
blow and the sun shOne forth in all its
SplendOr and with rather too much
warmth for most of us.
The management of the Negro De
partment Of the Exposition is making
a united and determined effort to have
the city Of Charleston we'll repre-
sented in the Negro Building Some
Of us who attended the Atlanta and
Nashville EXpOSitiOns remember that
there was not much IN the Atlanta
Building from Atlanta or in the Nash
vile Building from Nashville. We
propose to have it otherwise here; and
especially are we anxious to have the
cOlOred mechanics of this city make a
creditable display. For it is generally
conceded by those who know that
there are more and better Negro me-
chanicS in Charleston than in many
other cities of the size in the South.
To the end that these plans might be
carried out the Secretary of our De
partment invited about IS representa-
tive citizens to meet at the Office of
the Negro Department on Thursday
night for the purpose Of interchang-
ing views as to the best method of
procedure to accomplish the desired
results. The persons invited came al
most to man, and much interest was
manifested. 1t was the unanimous
opinion that we should have a monster
mass meeting at Mt. Zion A. NJ. E.
Church on the second Tuesday night
IN October. Judging from the earnest
ness Of the persons attending the
meeting Thursday night, the mass
meeting will be a great boon TO the
Negro Department
Mr.. ". A. Hunton, Secretary of the
I. NJ. Q. A, was in the city recently
on business connected with the asso-
cation here. While he was here ar
rangements were perfected to hold a
I. NJ. G. A. conference in Charleston
during Christmas week, the confer
ence to be composed of delegates from
the association in South Carolina
North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee
and Florida. Our Y NJ. c.. A. has also
decided to employ a local secretary
while the Exposition is running and
permanently if funds can be provided.

moment in which to signal to Jess,

sat young officer of the infantry who,
vastly rejoicing that Dean could not go,
had laughingly possessed himself Of
the vacant place, and to him Miss Fol-
som had to talk. But they parted from
their escorts at the gate and fastened
within doors. Just as Elinor expected,
papa had not come home. 1t was near

she met him at the gate.

hustle among the tents. In front of
the canvas home of the young COM
mander grave-faced group had gath
cred. two gentle girls among them, one
with tear-dimmed eyes. Old Folsom
stood apart in murmured conference
with Griggs, the sutler. The regi-
mental quartermaster was deep in con-
sultation with Dean, the two officers
pacing slowly up and down. One or
two young people from the garrison
had spent few minutes earlier in the
evening striving to be interesting to
the girls; but Jessie's fearful eyes and
Miss Folsom's grave manner proved
hint sufficient to induce them to with
draw, each bidding Dean good night,
safe journey and speedy return, and
the hand-clasps we're kind and cordial.
The colonel himself had paid brief
visit to camp, his adjutant in attend
ance, and had given Mr.. Dean ten min
utes of talk concerning a country Dean
knew all about, but that "Pecksniff"
had never seen. ut is responsibility
own should have expected to see
placed on older shoulders" said he,
"but prudence and-and, let me sug-
gest, cool-headedness-will probably
carry you through. You will be ready
to start"
Ready now, sir, so far as that's con-
cerned; but we start at three"
"Oh, ah-yes, of course-well-ah-
it leaves me practically with no COM
mand, but I'll hope to have you back,
Mr.. Dean. Good-by." Then as he
passed Folsom the colonel whispered:
That's $4,000 as good as thrown
away"
"Ten thousand dollars!" answered
the trader in reply. what do you
mean?'
That's what those boys are to run
the gauntlet with. My-ah-protests
are entirely unavailing."
For moment Folsom stood there
dumb. do you mean," he finally cried,
"that-that it's beyond Frayne that
they're going-that it's money they're
to take?"
Hush! Certainly, but it mustn't be
known. Every road agent in Wyoming
would be out. and every Indian from
the Platte to Hudson bay would be on
the watch. He's to take ten men and
slip through. The money comes out
from Burleigh tonight"
The colonel turned away, and,
reckoning to his staff officer to join
him. stumped onward to the garrison.
The prolonged wall of the bugle, aid
ed by the rising night wind, sent the
solemn strains of taps sailing down
the dimly-lighted valley, and with
staring eyes old Folsom stood gazing
after the departing officers, then
whirled about toward the tents. There
in front of Dean stood Pappoose, her
hands clasped tightly over the hilt OF
