The big event of the grand lodge was
the changing of the constitution so that
the grand lodge will meet every two years

accomplishments OF the grand lodge have
been made in Wichita. For years the
question whether meetings would be held
annually or hiennially has been up he

friends Of the biennial sessions able to
secure the necessary two-thirds vote

GRAND LODGE NOTES.


One of the most interesting talks made
in the grand lodge yesterday came from
an unlocked for quarter of the auditori-
um-the gallery. 1t was not expected that
anybC--S having right to talk in grand
lodge would sit in the gallery, but John
Lloyd, for over forty years a Kansan,
was there. He told Webb McNall that
he knew him when he was a boy and
then told how he was in the Kansas leg
islature at the time of the agitation for
biennial instead of annual meetings of
that body. He then launched out mod
estly. but ably and eloquently. in an ar
gument for biennial sessions of the grand
lodge and his words had probably
greater influence on the grand body than
those of any other speaker.
VIM Woodhead. of Hoyt is one of the
delegates to the grand lodge He is the
guest of S. B. Lands. 40 South Water.
Mr. Woodhead is so much pleased with
Wichita that he says he will return to

WhistIer's COurtship.

An interesting story reaches this
country by cablegram to the New
York Herald from London. 1t reads as
follows:
Mr.. Labouchere, in Truth, tells the
following anecdote of James Mcneil
Whistler, which corrects certain apo
cryphal versions of the late artist S
marriage:
II believe" writes MIR. Labouchere,
81 was responsible for his marriage
to the widow of Mr.. Goodwin, the
architect She was a remarkably pref
ty women and very agreeable, and
both she and he were thorough b.
hemians.
''I was dining with them and some
others one evening at EarPs Court.
They were obviously greatly attracted
to each other and in a vague sort of
way they thought of marrying, so
took the matter in hand to bring
things to a practical point.
" Jimmy I said, will you marry
Mrs Goodwin
Certainly he replied.
b" Mrs Goodwin" 1 said, twill you
marry Jimmy?'
f" Certainly she replied.
" 'When?' I asked.
" oh, some day. said Whistler.
" That won't do l said; we must
have a date
80 they both agreed I should
choose the day, tell them what church
to come to for the ceremony, provide
a clergyman and give the bride away
At fixed an early date and got them
the chaplain of the House of Commons
to perform the ceremony. 1t took
place few days later After the cere-
mony was over we adjourned to Whist
ler's studio where he had prepared a
banquet The banquet was on the
table, but there We're no chairs, so we
sat on packing cases. The happy pair
when 1 left had not quite decided
whether they would go that evening tC
Paris or remain in the studio.
How impractical they were was
shown when I happened to meet the
bride the day before the marriage in
the street.
" Don't forget tomorrow I said.
No. she replied; I am just going
to buy my rousseau
A little late for that; is it note
asked.
Z" No., she answered; for I am only
going to buy a tooth brush and new
sponge, as one ought to have new ones
when one marries.
However, there never was a more
successful marriage. They adored
each other and lived most happily to-
gether, and when she died he was
broken-hearted, indeed. He never re-
covered from the loss"

NEGROES COMING BACK SOUTH.

An Evansville, Ind, dispatch says
that many strange negroes have with
in the last few days passed through
that town on their way South. The
dispatch further states that the ne
groes are moving out of the towns
of Southern Indiana and from along
the line of the Illinois Central Rail-
homes on the South.
This is not at all surprising. No
where in the North are the negroes
as well treated as they are in the
South. A great many negroes go
to the Northern states because OF
the promise of better wages there,
but many of them return as soon as
they can get money enough to do so,
and it is a question if there is any con-
siderable number of them who
wouldn't rather be back in the South.
They have found out that they are
not wanted in the North-that is. while
their services are in demand in GER
tain kinds of employment there is no
manifestation of sympathy and good
will, no indication that they are re-
garded with favor as citizens On the
contrary. they are made to feel that
they are not desirable additions to a
community.
1t is true of course that in several
of the Northern states there has been
a very considerable increase in the ne
gro population during the last few
years, but it is worthy of notice that
the feeling in these states against the
negro is increasing in proportion as
the negro population increases. AT
any time there is likely to be a demon
stration against negroes just as there
was in Evansville, Ind. and Danville,
ILL.,. recently.
1t is being recognized that the ne
gro problem is not a sectional one.
The fairest-minded men of the coun-
try are ready to acknowledge that ii
is a problem in which the whole coun-
try is nearly equally interested.
Those who think the problem is 60
Ing to be easily solved are making a
mistake. The recent outbreaks against
the negroes in Illinois and Indiana
are but indications Of the difficulties
connected with its solution. There are
a few men In Congress who still think

Some ships 1 had in the long ago,
And beautiful ships We're they,
But over the wide and bounding deep
My ships have sailed away.
Never, no, never, will they return,
My beautiful ships, to me,
For all are wrecked on a distant shore,
Or sunk in the sounding sea.
The one named Youth, in it's ardent
pride,
With it's flags and pennants gay,
AS it sailed along so brave and strong,
Has silently sped away.
Fast DER the deep like a bird it flew,
With banners and sails so free,
Till lost from the view and forever
gone
Far over the deep blue sea.
And one called Fame, a gilded bark,
And priced by conquering kings,
AS on N sailed like a blissful dream
AS light as Zephyrus' wings.
1t left no wake as it sailed along,
Nor bays of the hero for me.
I saw it fade as it spread its sails
Far out on the bounding sea.
And one was Wealth; twas a gorgeous

And decks aglow with glittering gems
Whose value could ne'er be told
And then away DER the waves it sailed

And Pleasure one, and a fairer shin
Ne'er sailed on the ocean blue
The shrouds and masts with flowers
entwined
And garlands of brilliant hue.
The tables with luscious fruits were
spread
And richest of sweets for me.
But 1t sailed away; it left no trace:

Now far away on the pillows crest
A light of the purest ray
Shines bright as the Star of Bethlehem,
That shone on the Magi's way.

Returning once more to me
And bringing me balm and peace ana

says: at is not a sign of danger when
the great capitalists of the United
States are losing money heavily, but it
is warning to all legitimate business
to prepare for whatever may come. but
should present conditions result in a
great financial panic and industrial
depression this fall, it would mean the
overwhelming defeat of the Republi-
can party if there were any other than
a divided Democracy to seize the OPP
portunity for victory"
The Columbia Is. c. State (Dem. }
says: Let it not be forgotten that
the South pays her fun share of the
$40, 100000 given federal army pension
ers each year. 1t is carried away and
none returned--a huge and seemingly
perpetual indemnity eXacted by the
victors. In view of this our large di-
rect appropriations for Confederate
pensions represents a greater sacrifice
than at first appears and our taxation
for negro education assumes the most
liberal proportions"
The Springfield CMass.) Republican
