At special session Of the grand

purpose the classified assessment sys-
TEN was adopted by the requisite three
fourths vote Maine and Rhode Island,
which recently withdrew from that jul
risdction. having adopted the classified
system in setting up housekeeping for
themselves, the whole of New England
is now on the classified plan. This
leaves only New Jersey, Minnesota, Ne
braska and South Dakota still on the
level plan, and 1t is probable that one
or all Of these will change at their next
grand lodge sessions.
The grand recorder of Missouri re-
ports that increased activity Is mani
fest in the state and that many Of the
lodges are initiating candidates in
classes; also that $GS,OOO had been dis
burscd to widows and orphans Of de-
ceased members during November.
Grand Organizer Sackett of Pennsyl-

OIL SPRlNkLED ROADS.
How to Obviate Their Only Serious
DISADVANTAGES.

There are advantages and disadvan-
tages in oil sprinklcd roads, according
to the experience of the park commits
siOncrs in San Francisco. The dust Is
certainly laid. and driving In the parks
where the roadways have been thus
treated is freed from the discomfort Of
dirt in the eyes and lungs of drivers
and horses, while the foliage and grass
along the highways are as green as if
daily rain washed.
Complaints Of the horse owners are
confined to the injury done their cloth
ing and their vehicles by the flying bits
of oil soaked sand. This last the com
miSSioners promise to remedy. When
the roads have become sufficiently
packed, they will be covered with a
thin layer of white sand.
There is hint in this last for road
makers elsewhere, as sprinkling with
oil instead of water has become wide
spread this summer. particularly in the
south. where the good roads movement
is enjoying bclated popularity. An
other hint to be borrowed from the
Californiaus is in using the oil hot.
whereby the materials of the roadbel
are practically cpmented.

first of July when an Act of the
Ganeral Assembly of 1901 goes
into effect. Dealers in pistols
had better get rid of their stocks

the penalty for violation of that

follows:
"From and after the first day
of July 1902, it shall be unlaw-
