ST. JOHNS DAY
To be Observed at the Oxford Or
phan ASylun,-The Grand Lodge or
Masons to EOld Special Session.

Many of the readers of our paper
know but little Of this great institution
locatedat oxford. There are compare
lively few who are familiar with its
objects, its history and the valuable
work that Is being done there.
About thirty years ago h Masons of
North Carolina established at oxford a
home for the indigent orphan children.
The establishment was opened with
less than q dozen children, but it has
continued TO grew in numbers n in
creaseiin usefulness until the number is
now over two hundred n fifty. ,
The oath day of June, as is known by
all Masons, is one of the anniversary
days celebrated by the Order, and for a
number OF years past this celebration
has been held at the Asylum at Oxford.
This year there will be a special meet
ing of the Gra1o Lodge there on that
day to consider matters Of Importance
to the craft. anon which will be the
consideration OF the question of a Ma
sonic Temple.
There are MANY Masons who have
never visited the asylum and really
know but little o. the great work that
is being lone there. As every Ameri-
can citizen should see the capital of his
country once at least, so should every
Mason of North Carolina see this great
charitable institution at least one time.
The gathering at Oxford this year will
be a large one. The exercises will be
of unusual interest. Besides the meet
ing of the Grand Lodge, an open air
concert will be gwen by the children Of
the asylum, which is always highly en-
pertaining, snd the annual address will
be delivered by Hon Matt. W. Ran
SON., one of North Carolira's greatest
orators.
Reduced rates on all the railroads
will be given and a convenient schedule
run. The superintendent and other OFF,
GERS of the asylum extend a cordial in
vitation, not Only 10 the Masons, blu to
the public generally to visit Oxford on
the oath OF June

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.
The Situation approximations Men
ReturninG TO Acts of
Violence.

Roanoke, Va, June 13.-The officials
Company today stated tina the situa-
ton in the Pocahotas coa1 fields is i'm
proved and the prospects for a resump-
ton Of work with full forces of miners
are brighter than at any time since the
strike was declared. There has been a
gradual increase in the number of
strikers returning to work during the
week and today n mine is working
100 more union men thar on yesterday.
The percentage of returning men in this
mine is larger than at other operations,
but all Of them are making gains. Every
operation heard from is getting out
some coal and it is thought from what
reports have come from b fields, that
lforty-five operations out OF a total of
lforty-six are at work. The operators
are of the opinion thar the entire field
will have resumed it's normal condition
by the middle of next week at the lat
est. Reports to the effect that outside
labor is being sought are confirmed,
but it is explained that at no time DUR
ing the year is the fore. of miners SUI
ficient to meet the demand, n conse-
quently there is no special significance
attached to this actioG. Many Of the

ago. Practically all of those returning
to work are union m IN. There have
been no reports of violence and none is
expected.
Bluefeld, w. Va, June BIN the Flat
Top region the striking miners are
steadily losing ground and the opera
tors predict nat within a week the
strike will be a thing Of the past. A
large percentage of the men returned to
work today and the loading throughout
the field was almost double that of yes
Iterday. In the lug River district it is
different. BIT little coal was delivered
there toda.. the output of this district
is small compared with the Elkhorn or
Flat Top region proper. The march of
the strikers through the field today
Iamounted to comparatively nothing.
There was only a small number OF men
in line, possible not over a hundred in
all and their walk was Intellectual. No
disturbances have been recorded so far.

This exception I refuse to state. A fair

killed in battle with the exception of
eleven carriers, insurrectos at heart,
who were tried by court-martial and
shot. There was only one woman shot

How He Kept His White.

une, reminded an old gentleman from
Boston Of a story the other day, which
he proceeded to tell to another man In
the Fifth Avenue hotel. holding his
own genuine panama in his hand:
Il suppose you have never heard OF
old DR.. Ellis down hera," he said. But
Ia generation or two ago he was a we'll
known figure in Boston, being one OF
our famous Unitarian ministers. a
friend of many Of the TranscendentaI-
lists. He used always to wear a white
Panama hat, which at that time was
much more Of a luxury than l Judge 1t
is today. The same hat did him season
after eason yet il never seemed TO
lose any Of its fresh whitsness.
"One day a minister Of the old per-
Isuasion, and very pronounced In his
Orthodoxy, asked DR.. Ellis how he KEEP,
his hat so white.
That Is easy said the doctor. for
is has been Calvinized.'
What said the othe: minister. How
