TRUE philanthropy

CAMBRIDGE, Feb. 10. = A
building, one of the finest inside
the grounds at Harvard Univer-
sity, is without a name, and since
the work began on it nothing has
excited more curiosity among the
students. 1t is the gift of an I'M
known philanthrouist, who con-
tributed 500, 900 to supply what
has been considered a long felt
want" at Harvard-a large lee

about this gift that is sounding

soon to be forgotten.
This morning the lodge reSssem'

ness of the session again taken up.
At the hour for noon adjourn
mens, the rate question was still be-
fore the Grand Lodge. The discus
sions of this important matter were
animated and interesting, bringing
out the very best thought and ex-
preston In this body, which Is
saying that 1t was handled as ably
as It could have ben done In any
other body In the State. The de-
termination of this report of the
Representatives to the Supreme
Lodge will probably occupy most
the afternoon, aud 1t Is question
whether the grand body will not be
compelled to remain over until to-
morrow.

The members of the Grand
Lodge of the A. o. U, W. are still
In the city, aud are having splen'
did time as well as an interesting
session. The more they see of
|Sistersville the better they like It
and the more the people Of Sisters
Vile see of them, the more they
are persuaded that a fler body Of
representative men never before
assembled In the, city. They are
gentlemen of culture, refinement,
and of that callbre which will per-
NIT them to intell!gently dispose of
the important questions before
them.
Yesterday afternoon, the Grand
Lodge. as a committee of the whole,
considered that portion Of the re-
port of the representatives to the
supreme Lodge relating to the
modification of the rates. The
entire afternoon session was con-
sumed In that important matter,
and while substantial progress was
made, the matter was not concluded,
but was continued until this morn
Ing as special order of business
for ten o'clock.
Last night, at 7;3o, the parade
was held as announced In the Re-
view. Promptly at that hour, the
members of the Grand Lodge and
| of the local and visiting lodges,
assembled at the lodge room In the
McCoach building. Headed by
Bells excellen: band, which never
played better, amid the glare of red
fire, they proceeded down Wells
to Charles. to Brown Betty, to Dia>
mond, to Wells, to Hill and to the
Citizens hose house. The streets
were crowded during the parade,
and many were the compliments
heard along the route as to the
magnificent appearance of the
Workmen.
At the hose house, a scene that
delighted the eyes and tickled the
palates of all met their gaze. Tables
long tables, beautifully decorated,

they ccine 1t will take about one
week to get them In running order
and the company expect to have
them running by the goth when
the land sale will be held.
The crossing over the B. & O.
track on Wells street has rot been
laid yet but why 1t Is not put In we
cannot say. The B. & o. men
claim the crossing can be pu; In
any time. Probably the street rail,
road company Is so busy getting
ready for the lot sale Is why the
crossing Is not laid. 1t would add
very much to the receipts of the
street car line If the cars run down
into the city, but all things come to
those who wait and having waited
fifty years for a street car line we
can afford to wait a few days longer
until we get the crossing In.

If the Street car company don't
put In the crossing over the B. &
o. tracks before many days 1t will
be In order for the city council to
take the matter up with vigorous
hand. The right of way over Wells
street was granted freely to the
company upon condition 1t built and
operated a street car line over that
street and not about a third of the
way down the street. Its simply
negligence and the council should
take the matter up and attend to 1t
promptly. The public have filled
their contract, have waited patient

what 1t has done and Is doing but
Its time that we should receive the
benefits of the road the council
gave a valuable franchise to get In
this city. We do not advise any
fuss or fight but the people do In
sist upon having their rights
respected. Il will only take FIVE
hours work to put In the crossing
and 1t ought to be attended too
promptly. We want 1t because
many strangers are coming here
seeking locatings and as an advertise

now. If the crossing was In Paden
City 1t would be laid promptly and
1t should be laid just as promptly
In this city.

The street cars are now, for the
first time, running on a regular

every half hour and Paden City on

If they go up for car at half past

BARRY SUPPLANTS HAMS.
Change ls Made in Slate Of Command.
ers for Department Of the Gulf.
Halns May 90 to Panama.

A Washington special says; Brlga.
der General Thomas II Barry is 70
be commander OF the department Of
the gulf, taking the assignment orlgl.
nally made to General Peter c. Hams.
This change was decided upon by
the war department authorities late
Thursday afternoon, and an official or
der to this effect has been prepared
and signed.
1t is reported that General Hams
has been determined upon as com.
mander OF the troops that will be sent
to the isthmus as soon as the Panama
treaty is ratified.
It seems to accord with the under
standing Of the plans OF the general
stan, which keeps General ]. Frank
lin Bell in reserve for the command
of an invading army should 1t become
necessary to conduct aggressive opera
tons against Colombia. Whether any
such crisis comes or not, It is the an
nounced purpose of the president TO
send troops to the isthmus Immediate
ly upon the ratification OF the trelty
to give a substantial and necessary
backing to the baby republic, and the
prosent understanding Is that General
Hams will be given that command
General Barry who will be the first
to command the new department Of the
gulf, is particularly well known
through his service as adjutan! general
OF tho division Of the Philippines, in
which service he made a splendid rec.
ord He is a native of New York and
was appointed to West Point from
that state in 1873. In 1917 he grad.
uated and was assigned as second lieu.
tenant to the Seventh cavalry. He
was transferred later to the First IN.
fantry, and became a captain In that
regiment In 1891. In 1897 he was made
assistant adjutant general, with the
rank of major.
At the outbreak OF the Spanish war
he was made lieutenant colonel and es-
sistant adjutant general, and In June,
1900. he was promoted to brigadler
general OF volunteers. When he was
honorably discharged OF this office In
1901, he was lieutenant colonel Of
regulars, and in 1892 he reached his
colonelcy
He Is a man OF executive ability, ana
most of his service in recent years has
been as adjutant general frat of his
regiment, then of brigade and during
the strenuous days of the Ous com.

Later he went up into China with

HANGED In Douglas Jail.

Coffee County, Georgia, Murderer,
Hanged In Douglas jail.
( In the jail at Douglas, Ca, Friday,
at lao o'clock Lee Crib was hanged.
His neck was broken. and death was
instantaneous.
The crime for which he suffered
was unprovoked and without shadow
of excuse. Becoming offended because
his wife left him, he declared his pur-
pose Of leaving Nichols, but that he
intended leaving a record that would
cause him to be remembered.
In furtherance OF this purpose he
loaded himself with whisky and his
pistol with missiles The first place
reached was Teston's store. Here he
commenced shooting at Teston and
at Courson, his father in law. They
managed to escape unhurt.
The marshal, attracted by the firing
was not 30 fortunate.
After killing the marshal Crib next
opened fire upon a little boy, Emmett
White, driving in on a load of wood,
The boy fell from the wagon at the
first hre, and though he b6sSsd Crib
not to shoot again, his petition fell
upon deaf ears. n4
After killing White, Crib proceed
ed along the street with every one get
ting out Of HIS way until he met a
man with Winchester rife, with a
full magazine.
Forcing the man TO give him the
gun, he went to the depot, opened FIRE
upon the engineer and fireman OF a
train, woundlng the latter 0and com.
Polling the former to pull out, AS he
turned from the car he came face to
face with Mr. Hart and attempted 20
shoot him. Before he could do so
he himself was shot and fell. The
wound, however was slight, the gun
being loaded with small shot
As soon as he fell he was seized
and hurried to Douglas and placed in
jail to prevent being lynched.
He was tried last spring, convicted
and sentenced TO hang In May, but by
the efforts OF his counsel his head has
been kept out OF the moose until now.
