Named For Gov. LOWndeS

A new candidate for the favor of for

This recalls the famous pink carna-
ton. Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson. for
which the Boston millionaire paid the
grower 100000. The same grower has
produced another novelty, which has
caused somewhat of sensation in the

to Mrs. Thomas w. Lawson, and he has
disposed of the stock for 100000. The
flowers are 81, to inches across, the
stems are strong and from to 3 it,.

THEORY ABOUT OYSTERS.
An Eminent English Doctor
Says they are Not Health
full, and Are the Cause of
Many Diseases.

Notwithstanding the fact that so
eminent an authority as DR. Sir James
Crichton ii. Brown recently declared
in lecture delivered in London. that
the oyster was responsible for most of
yhe diseases of man. this palatable deli
cacy will continue to be eaten by Amer
leans and Epicures. whenever they can
procure it, with the same relish and en-
promulgated his absurd theory. He
touched upon the subject of decay in
the digestive organs of civilized man,
and declared that modern men not only
have not got as good teeth as their less
civilized ancestors had, but that their
saliva is less abundant. owing to the
softer. pulpier foods that are eaten.
Proceeding, DIR. Sir Brown said that
the increase of appendicitis is largely
due to indigestion resulting from i'm
perfect mastication and the hurried
method of living. From the same cause
people are less able to resist disease.
Consequently there is greater reason
for sanitary precautions, as injurious
bacteria do IA maximum of harm. He
attributed Indifference and Incidence to
the public and culpable negligence of
purveyors, and declared that if legisla-
ton providing for stringent inspection
of oyster beds was not passed, an in
calculable amount of typhoid fever
would be disseminated
Would DIR. Brown have us go back to
primeval days. when man roamed
around the fields, after the manner of
wild beasts. and subsisted on roots and
herbs? After Directing so strenuously
to the "softer pulpier foods. it is just
possible that DIR. Brown will next adj
vocate as a diet, "a rag, a bone and a
hank of hair" which the mortal Kip
ling immortalized. Evidently. the good
doctor has never eaten an oyster from
the Eastern Shore, and in the interest
of the industry. we would respectfully
suggest that some of our planters send
him barrel.

NEW ODD FELLOWS HALL
Home of Paran Lodge at Ber-
lin a Fine Building A
Credit to the Order and An
Ornament to the Town.

We were up to Berlin last Saturday
and through the courtesy of the Secre-
tary of Paran Lodge l. o. o. +. we were
invited to inspect their new Hall. On
entering the outside door, the broad,
comfortable stairway, with its walls pa
pered in gilt and green, its hand rail
for the comfort of the cid and infirm,
preparing us for what was to come, we
found the ante-room to embody all that
was requisite for convenience and
comfort. The floor was painted in
cheerful mosaics, there were chairs for
those that waited for admission to the
main hall. upon the tastefully papered
walls hung regalia for members of each
degree. a large lamp was suspended
from the ceiling. and unique knocker,
emblematic of the Order was attached
to the inner door But on the large room
there seemed to be expended all the
good taste and liberality of the building
committee. A beautiful and expensive
carpet, covered the floor harmonizing
in color with the paper on the walls, the
ceiling was of metal, divided and sub
divided into art squares. decorated with
colors blending one into another, an art
istic chandelier was suspended from the
centre of the room. and around the walls
were hung many bracket lamps of brass,
which, as it seemed to the observer,
would flood the room with light. The
chairs, the desk and all of the furniture
are in old quartered oak, and of fine
quality. The officers chairs especially
are very noticeable, in fact everything
connected with this: building impresses
one with the truth that the committee
were interested in Odd Fellowship, that
they were imbued with its principles.
and that according to their ability they
were determined to rear a worthy
altar in its name and honor. The fire
of 1901 destroyed the old build
ing with all its contents. but White
Eagle Tribe l. o. r. NJ. kindly loaned
them the use of their Hall and the Lodge
has not missed one meeting night since
the fire. The new building with its
furniture, books, paraphernalia and all
that go to make up a Lodge in first
class working order, cost about $500.
and has all been paid for. This has
nearly exhausted the treasury, but the
funds have begun to rise again. for bust
ness principles have for many years char
acterized the management of this Lodge,
and its success has, in great measure,
been due to this well known axiom.
The membership is something over one
hundred and is steadily increasing.
While the funds of the Lodge are close
ly guarded, yet its benefactions have
been many and it has never turned
away any worthy object of charity emp
ty-handed.
We left the Hall, feeling proud that
we, too, were an Odd Fellow, that Odd
Fellowship is much more than name,
and that Paran Lodge is highly exem-
plified in its grand old motto !: Friend
ship. Love and Truth"
