COFFEE. CIGARS
The tables were beautifully decorat-

added to the pleasure of the occasion.
Eighteen of Emporium's most hand
some young ladies served the elaborate
menu in prompt manner, yet it was
midnight when the Toast Master,
Hon. l. K. Hockey, raped the assem-
blage to order and choked off the big
eaters, who were just getting ready
for re-attack ofthe menu. The lateness
of the hour and the fact that many
were patiently awaiting the clearing
of the floor for dancing, only a few
were called on to respond to toasts.
District Deputy G. M, Geo. A. Brown,
of Lock Haven, was the first, respond
ed eloquently and received a round of
applause. District Deputy High Priest
Jos. j. Lingle, Rev. o. S. Metzler, Mr..
Josiah Howard, Mr.. B. w. Green,
Judge Geo. w. Huntley, Mr.. Fred
Julian, Mr.. A. @. Blum, Chas. T.

Logan, and many others made very
appropriate remarks, which were high
ly entertaining. We regret that the
hour Of going to press will not allow us
60 make more elaborate and proper
account of the enjoyable occasion.
The festivities continued until about
four o'clock this morning when all de-
parted for their homes, declaring the
Masonic fraternity the royal enter.

The music on the occasion, during

GAVE BANQUET AFTER HIS DEATH.
Guests, who We're all Dentists, Attended
His Funeral and Then the Dinner.

Syracuse, N. Y, April 4.-When DIR.
Stewart B. Palmer died last Monday at
the age of eighty, it was found that be
had made out list of friends whom he
desired 10 attend bis funeral, and after
ward to hold banquet in his memory.
His wish was carried out, and the banquet
was held this afternoon at the Yates
House, after tbe funeral service.
The guests were all dentists, and incIud-
ed the members of the State Board OF
Dental Examiners.
DR.. Palmer became a dentist by sccl-
dent. In lS47, when he was a school
teacher, he needed some teeth fixed, but
knew no dentist except an amateur. The
young man took out nine of Pdlmer's
teeth. Then Palmer paid S. jor a treatise
on dentistry. After seven months of study
and experimenting he produced fine ell
yer plate, containing nine teeth, for his
own use. His friends asked him to do
similar work for them, and he gave up
school teaching for dentistry. He out
lived all his Irregular" contemporaries in
this section.

THE FLOOD CONDITIONS.
No Importance Developments in Louisiana
Yesterday.

New Orleans, April G.-The river con-
ditions in Louisiana today were without
important developments. During the day
the gauge here was 209, equal to the high
est figures reached here this season. The
outlet at Hymela has not yet been closed,
and until the work there has been accom-
plished it is difficult TO estimate what
maximum will be reached. Sacking has
been steadily in progress, and the cribbing
continues to hold.
Reports from Magnolia say all danger
there has apparently passed.
Washington, April Especial river
bulletin:
There has been but little change in thd
lower Mississippi river flood situation ex-
cept that a crevasse was reported Sunday
on the right bank of the river 80 miles be-
low New Orleans. 1t was l20 feet wide,
but vas probably closed during Monday.
The river at Vicksburg is still falling to-
night, but at New Orleans it has risen l
of foot, reading 20.4 feet on the gauge,
the highest stage yet reported No de-
cided changes are indicated in the near
future.

Disastrous Fire at North Tazewel!

On last Friday afternoon at about three
O'Clock fire broke out in the house of
Floyd in Blacksburg, a su-
burb of North Tazewell. The wind was
blowing very heavily at the time and the
flames spread from house to house until
seven dwellings and one church were con-
sumed. The homes burned were of the
following persons: --FIoyd, Dick
Mitchell, Lou En-, Miles Cecil, Alb.
Thompson, Rees Bandy and Anderson
Trent. They are all colore1 persons and
lost not only their homes, but all their
household effects fell a prey to the hungry
flames. The colored Methodist church
was also destroyed. There was insurance
to the amount of fonr hundred dollars on
that building, but no insurance on the
other buildings.
An effort was male to save the contents
of the houses, but even after they were
taken out in the yards and road the angry
flames would leap forv ard and burn them
up.
Much sympathy has been aroused for
the unfortunate sufferers and our citizens
are contributing very literally for their
relief.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The people should demand of the
General Assembly Of Virginia why the
Wharton Insurance law was repealed; and
also why the Legislature refuses to re-
enact it. The most complete trust or
combination that has ever invaded Vir
ginia is what is known a. the Southeastern
Tariff Association. 1t looks very much
like the Legislature is under the control
Of that association.
The President s meeting with enthus las
tic receptions at all points in the West and
Northwest, and he is saying nothing in his
numerous speeches that will give his
political adversaries any comfort. Upon
the contrary his utterances on trust legisla-
ton and other subjects are evoking COM
mendation from Democratic newspapers.

Opposition to Canal Treaty.

Washington, April 4.-Upon informa'
ton received in Washington through pri-
vate sources, it is stated that Senior Concha,
formerly minister TO Washington, is not
making fight against the ratification OF
the canal treaty as bas been stated. Senior
Silva, also a former minister to the United
States, who had been counted upon to
vigorously oppose the treaty, died in Co
lombia, February IL. Nevertheless, in
formation comes from Bogota that there
are some very bitter opponents as well as
ardent champions. 1t is expected that
the congressional delegation from the
states of Antioquia and Cauca will be ia
worldly disposed owing to the geographical
location of these two states with respect to
the canal.

a given rate of duty may be thought de-
sirable does not settle the question
whether it is advisable to make the change
Immediately,
NO CURE FOR TRUSTS
One point we must steadily keep in
mind. The question of tariff revision,
speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts. No change in tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solving the
so.caled trust problem. Certain great
trusts or great corporations are wholly
unaffected by the tariff. Practically all
the others that are ofany Importance have
as matter of fact, numbers OF smaller
American competitors, and, OF course
change in the tariff which would work in
iurv to the large corporation would work
not merely injury but destruction to Its
smaller competitors; and equally, OF course
such change would mean disaster to all
the wage workers connected with either
the large or the small corporations.
To sum up, then, we must as a people,
approach matter of such prime economic
importance as the tariff from the stand
point of our business needs. We cannot
afford to become fossilized or to fail to
recognize the fact that as the needs of the
country change it may be necessary to
meet these new needs by changing certain
features Of our tariff laws. Still less can
we afford to fail to recognize the further
fact that these changes must not be made
until the need for them outweighs the
disadvantages which may result; and when
it becomes necessary to make them they
SHOULD be made with full recognition OF the
need of stability in our econmic system
and of keeping unchanged the principle
of that system which has now become
settled policy in our national life. We
have prospered marvelously at home. AS
a nation we stand in the very forefront in
the giant international industrial compe-
tition Of the day. We cannot afford by
any freak of folly to forfeit the position to
which we have thus triumphantly attained.

Miners to Organize West Virginia.

indianapolis, April 5.-A call has been
issued for meeting of the national execu-
tive board of the Mine Workers at the
headquarters In this city next Monday.
There are twenty-three members, and
they will probably be IN session ten days.
President Mitchell and Secretary Wilson
are getting their reports ready.
1t is announced that the principal OBJ
ject of the meeting is to make arrange
ments to organize West Virginia.
Secretary Wilson says the miners are in
a better position than ever before to wage
a successful campaign in West Virginia.
"We have already succeeded" >" he said,
Gin getting good footing there, as we
have organized the Kanawha district, but
we still have strike in the New >i?er
field, and there is part of the State we
have not yet organized"
The fact that West Virginia was not
well organized has been used against the
miners in their national convention and
has kept them from getting as advantage
ous settlement as they might haye OBJ
tanned under different conditions.

A Pretty Affair.

Probably one of the most beautiful we'd
dings that ever occurred in Arizona was
that of Frank Everett Lee and Evelyn
Painter Suggs at Elks' hall last Wednes-
day evening. The hall was beautifully
decorated with smlax flowers and bunt-
ing. The altar end of the hall waa arraDg-
ed in the old mission style Of arches, with
fine floral bells hung at different heights.
Along the aisle on either side was line of
smiax-wound posts, each crowned with
bunch of beautiful Gala lilies, while
ropes of smiax hung from one to the
other.
McCaffertys orchestra was concealed
behind a screen of emlax, and never did
Mendelssohn's wedding march sound
more beautiful as it poured forth from
behind this bank of green.
Little Irene BlasdelI preceded the bride
in the march, carrying a heartshaped
cushion of the Elks' colors; on this rested
the wedding ring. The bride wore mag.
nifcent Princes gown of cream Sappho
satin with drop yoke of tule and deep
lace. The long tule bridal veil was clasped
to the hair with bunch of orange BIOS
SONS; she carried white roses. Her gown
was by KeatiDg, of Los Angeles.

Taley and Miss Gertrude Priest, both Of
whom wore beautiful gowns of white
trimmed with pale green and applique.
Mr.. John Doan acted as best man to Mr..
Lee, and A. T. Pancrazi and Ben. G. Heyl
were the ushers; they were attired in regu-
lation full dress.
During the ceremony Mrs. Giroy rem
dered 80 Promise Me" from the concealed
orchestra corner which added materially
to the beautiful scene being enacted.
After Rev. ]. A. Crouch bad administered
the VOWS Exalted Ruler james Ii. Gra-
ham congratulated the happy couple for
the lodge. 4 short reception was held IN
the hall Immediately after the wedding
and the congratulations Of those present
were heartily extended.
Mrs. Ira p. Smith, Mrs Herbert Brown
and James II. Graham personally super
vised ,hs decoration work, assisted by
committee of EIks.
The presents, which came from many
paris of the country, were too nun erous
for individual mention, but among the
most beautiful WAS the groom's gift to tie
bride of beautiful satin gold loeket with
large diamond setting. The lodge pre-
sented magnificent handmade, sterling
silver tea set with the date of the affair
engraved on the several pieces.
Mr.. Lees employer and fellow employees
were the donors of massive cut glass
punch bowl and eight cups of same mater
ial to match. The bridesmaids and at
tendants each received handsome snake
bracelet Of silver, with the letters S. i.
engraved on the snakes head in gold, as
gifts from the bride, while the groom pre-
scented his attendants with scarf pins of
pearls
This event was one long to he remem-
bered by Yuma society. Mr.. and Mrs.

BRYAN IN THE EAST.
Booked For Number of Addresses Dur
Ing the Month of May.

New York, April 6. William j. Bryan
has notified his New York friends that he
will be in the East IN May, and that he
will deliver series of addresses on politi-
cal subjects in the States of New York,
Connecticut, Rhode leland, Massachusetts,
New Jersey and Maryland, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. The first of these adj
dresses will probably be delivered at the
Academy of Music in Brooklyn.
1t now seems likely that his Brooklyn
speech will be the only one Colonel Bryan
will deliver in the State of of New York,
as his time will be limited and he has
many more invitations to speak than he
can possibly accept.

LOCAL ITEMS.
WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSPlRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

A car load of people from Bland and
Grayson counties left over the Norfolk
and Western on last Tuesday for the west,
in search of new homes.
An epidemic of "pink eye" is prevailing
among the students of the V. p Institute
at Blacksburg. 1t is species of opthal-
mia, the ball of the eye becoming pink in
color. Every effort is being made to
stamp out the disease.
The local option campaign in Wythevile
Magisterial District is now very lively.
The local option forces are having a mum
ber of meetings both in the town and at
churches in the county, and these meet
ings are beLg addressed by ministers and
other speakers. The saloon men are also
actively at work and the battle will con-
tinue to grow in interest until the election
is held.
A hot controversy is now being engaged
in over the development of the water
power at the Horseshoe Bend of Holston
River, ten miles east Of Bristol. There are
two companies that desire 10 develop it
for generating electric power to be used
for manufacturing purposes at Bristol
These companies are The Hoston Water
and Electric Power Company, and COM
pany organized by A. l.. Smaling who
owns the land about the falls in the river
The court has granted the former company
right of way through the lands of SmaIing,
but jury has assessed his damages at S33
300. II is thought these heavy damages
will cause the company to abandon the
idea Of developing the power and that
company will do the work.
