For Masonic Homes.

Free Masons are much interested in
movement to establish masonic
Homes" on an entirely new basis, pro.
yiding not only for the care Of indigen,
brethren but also their wives, widows
and children. The measure has been
endorsed by number of lodges and
John w. Farnsworth, of Danville, who
as District Deputy, Grand Master is one
of a committee appointed to confer with
the lodges Of this district, states that
he finds Free Masons practically un.
animous in supporting this departure,
which carries with it increased helpful
ness and broadening charity.

Letter to d BOlender
Mddteburg, Pa.


Dear Sir: Milk, So much quart
part water. Is it milk? How
much satisfaction will it give? How
much nourisl,men,? How many
customers will it win.
Mixed paint is the same as water
and milk. 1t seems to be cheap,
but it isn't. Devoe lead and zinc
is rich milk, it's creamy milk: seems
to he costly, but isn't. Covers
more square feet to the gallon;
covers it better; makes labor 90
further; lasts more years than any
mixed paint; lasts more years than
lead and oil.
The cheapest paint in the world,
made by the oldest concern in
America-l49 years old.
MIR. j. j. Hall, Sheffield, Pa,
writes:
! had always used 40 gallons Of
lead and oil for my house; this
summer l bought 10 gallons Of
DevOe Lead and Zinc for the same
house aud had 10 gallons left.
Yours truly,
+. W. Devoe q Co.,
New York.
P.S.-P. p. Smith of Sunbury
sells our paint.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
cov.rnor Peabody Take. Action.

After halting between two Opinions
for over ten days, says the Denver Re-
publican of July 3rd. Governor Pea
body yesterday decided to take the ad-
vice of attorneys, among whom. it is
said, is Attorney General Miller, and
remove Captain George W. Thatcher
from the Board of Worlds Fair Com
missioners. and to put an end to the
strife which has ragged. in that body
ever since Mr.. Peabody assumed his
seat in the gubernatorial chair.
Van e. Rouse, treasurer of the board.
has refused to issue checks for vough-
ers signed by the governor as president
of the board. and the governor says he
has done everything in his power to as
sist Captain Thatcher in his fight
against the powers that be. For this
reason the governor has decided to re-
move Mr.. Rouse, as well as Mr.. Thatch-
er.
Both men were notified yesterday in
a written communication that they
must appear before him at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning to show cause why
they should not be summarily re-
moved. 1t is said by those closest to
the governor that in giving the two
commissioners hearing he is but fol-
lowing out the requirements of the law,
and that whether they appear or not,
1t is his present intention to remove
them.
Although the legislative act which
created the board does not provide for
removals, they will be made under the
constitutional provision which gives
the governor of the state power to re-
move any officer for misconduct, income
potency or malfeasance. Captain
Thatcher is to be removed for incom-
potency and Mr.. Rouse for misconduct
In refusing to honor the governors sig
nature, and SO delaying the work of the
board.
Captain Thatcher received his sum-
mons from the hands of Secretary
Wood. who handed it to him in the
Worlds Fair Board Office, where, with
Miss Madigan, his stenographer and
sister-in-law, he is defying the gov
ernor and the other members of the
board to oust him. He read the COM
munication and informed Mr.. Wood
that there was no answer
Asked later If he would obey the
summons. he replied: Il have sent the
remarkable communication of the gov
ernor to my attorney, Mr.. Butler. II
he says for me to answer 1t, l will go.
Otherwise, I'll see his excellency.
