A Terror to the Stays.

\ matter that is now causing much
excitement in Elkdom, is statement
OF Mrs. Inez King, of Ballard, that she
has seen over fifty Elks initiated into
that order. from a board placed on a
window sill supported by the roof of an
adjoining building, and that she is able
to eXempllly" the work to past mas
ter of the lodge. Women are quick
to memorize. and she has actually
qualified herself to repeat by rote the
charges which are generally read from
the printed pages in the lodgeroom.
In communication, published eX-
clusively in the Times, written by the
lady, she declares that she is in pos
session OF all the charges, signs and
passwords of the order and can repeat
the unwritten work from beginning
to end. This may, OF course, be dis
puted by lodgemen, for it is not Gus
tomary to give the passwords in an
audible tone, especially in words which
can reach the ears of an eavesdropper
on the outside OF a distant window.
Certain it is, however, that she knows
altogether too much to satisfy the
antlered brotherhood. She pried into
lodge affairs from woman's curiosity,
and it was not until her husband was
a candidate for initiation that she re-
vealed her knowledge as a protection
for him should she betray forbidden
knowledge at any time. When the
lodge officers visited her to ascertain
the extent of her knowledge, it is said
that she actually taught them some Of
the subtle miracles of the secret work
All she asks as q price for absolute
secrecy is membership in the order, or
recognition rather, for she admits
that she does not think that the lodge
customs are exactly adapted to the
gentler sex. She finds some Justifica-
ton in this demand by the tradition
that once on time a woman was in
Quoted into the mysteries of the lead
ing order, Masonry, as means of pre-
serving secrets of which she had come
into unauthorized possession.
Mrs. King declares that the order
will have nothing to fear from her if
she is simply recognized" but she
quickly told the examining committee
that the bluff they attempted would
not work. She would bother them no
more, however, simply for the reason
that the lodgs-work had become mo-
notonous to her and she took no fur
ther interest in such routine work.

The PRESIDENTS FLUNKY INSULTS
THE SUPREME COURT.-It seems that
the Presidents ajor-domo at a re-
ception OF the Supreme Court Judges,
one night last week, gave serious Of.
Tense to the Justices Fuller and Har.
Ian, by stopping them at the entrance
to the Blue Room, and insisting that
the diplomatic corps, with their sat.
telites and understrappers go first into
the august presence. The name of
this intrepid Lord High Executioner
of the Executive Will, bears the name
Of McCawley, yet it was all powerful
with the official snickersnee, to turn
down the highest tribunal on Earth.
Now the President is anx ious TO ex.
plain that his flunky made mistake,
but it would probably have passed
muster had not public opinion re.
scented the affront.

The Latest Printing Wonder.

\ New York inventor has perfected a
device that prints books quickly and
accurately without the use OF type.
1t is about as much OF an advance as
the linotype is on hand setting. 1t
is called a Iithotype and is described
as a machine that may b. carried by u
boy on his back, occupies no more
space than IA dining table, requires less
power to operate it than II woman ex-
ercises III running a sewing machine,
and may be manufactu for one
tenth the amount that linotype
sells for. Its description is more by
negative than affirmative. The ac.
count says: 1t prints as fast a. a
type writer can operate, uses no type,
movable or imnovable, only a polished
plate of metal, from which the i'm
preston may be erased as from q slate.
1t counts and measures the spaces in
every line and justifes them with
mathematical accuracy; there is no
type setting, no type distribution, no
melting OF metal, no stereotyping, no
justifying of lines, no standing matter,
no money invested in type. When
the printing is done it leaves little
metal scroll, which started through
the press will print the whole matter
over again, absolutely without human
direction or thought, for even that is
done by the machine. 1t is the inven-
ton Of w. S. Timmis. who has none
for sale and is using the only one
in existence and has printed volumes
from it. 1t may be inferred from the
name that the process is allied to lith-
ography, but it is equally related to
typewriting and piano-playing in its
operation.
This marvel seems to surpass belief,
but as details are still, doubtless neces.
sarily, withheld from the public, and
the discoveries of the past generation
have many been so astounding, it will
not do to discredit a matter which is
shouted by megaphone in the city pa
pers.

AN extension of the pension list to
all survivors of the civil war, and age
increase of pensions, has been deter
mined upon by the present Con gress.
All 9O.day men are to receive So at
the age of 62 years, $40 at &C years,
and at 70 years SIP per month, and
those who served two years an addi.
ton OF ~ to each of the above rates.
The minimum of pensions is by it in.
creased from IS to So, and it will apply
to 1884 soldiers. The minimum
pension of widows who married soldiers
prior TO JAM, 1870, now receiving So,
will be $12. This will materially in.
crease the cost of the pension bureau,
as it is far-reaching in its scope.

HYPNOTIC CURE OF CONSUMPTION.-
DR.. Eugene r. Elisue, a handsome
young graduate of the Women's Medi-
cal College OF New York has made
public claim that she has cured that
dreadful disease, consumption, by hyp.
notism. She had on exhibition at q
meeting Of the New York Medical and
Pharmaceutical Society, last week, a
dozen healthy-looking men and wo.
men, all of whom declared they had
been cured of that disease in various
stages by the hypnotic suggestion
method. She explains the process as
follows: "That while microbes may
come from outside sources, they are
developed primarily by the body itself,
and with q proper course of hypnotic
suggestion conveyed to the brain,
thence to the nerves and thence to the
nerves'tissues, the progress and de.
velopment OF the disease microbes, can
be arrested, and, in the end, obliter.
ated." Several OF the patients declared
that they had been abandoned as in
durable by the regular doctors and that
their subsequent recovery had been
complete.

he relspsed into that state OF inocuous
desuitude incident TO his hiber mating

). The Bends" or Caisson Disease.

This is a new atfliction, which has
attacked people working on the great
Manhattan bridge, New York. Those
who go down in the caissons to the
river bottom, to place the foundations
OF the heavy piers supporting the SUI
perstructure, are subject to the new
disease, and it is owing to a pressure of
10 pounds to the square inch all over
the person which causes escape Of the
gas bubbles in the blood and tissue
fluids, on decomposition. This is the
same in effect as opening bottle of
soda water, and the victim literally
flies to pieces under the release effected
by normal pressure. One mans ear
drums bursted, and blood flowed CO.
piously from them and his throat.
The compressed air is necessary to
the caisson, from pressure Of water at
low depths, or it would be crushed like
an egg-shell, and it is as essential for
keeping the water out while the oper-
ators are at work on the river bottom.
Ten dollars a day, for three hours work,
is the wage offered without takers,
and then, nobody is accepted who has
not undergone rigid medical exami-
nation and been pronounced in perfect
health. Twenty-six victims have al
ready been enrolled on the list of fatal.
tiles.
1t really seems as if an adequate
means OF protection would be afforded
by modification Of the ordinary deep
sea diving suits, constructed with
enough rigidity to withstand the air
pressure, instead of the at times equal.
ly great water pressure. These suits
could be made so as to allow move
ment of the limbs without impairing
the main object OF keeping extreme
pressure from those wearing them, and
they could be operated precisely the
same as the armor by the deep-ses
diver, who remains hours under water
perfectly safe with that protection.
1t is simply criminal to tempt men
to 60 to almost certain destruction by
offer of big pay and short hours OF ser.
vice, where the result has been so ap.
palling, and it seems strange that the
simple provision suggested has not
already been tried to avert such a pro.
life danger.

The Populists Want to Be Heard.

A national convention of Populists
and Regular Democrats has been
called at st. Louis, Feb. %, to out.
line programme Of action in antici-
patton of an effort to relegate Mr..
Bryan and his issues to the rear. This
action has been deemed proper, from
the fear that there may be some sub.
stance to the reports that Mr.. Bryan
may be persuaded to allow the silver
and some other of his tenets to be left
out Of the platform. They fear that
he is about to join hands with the
plutocrats" OF the East, and it is to
maintain the prestige won that a
heart to-heart talk is demanded. Gen.
Weaver, the Populist candidate for
President, now strong follower of
Bryan, has suggested this action.
They insist that if the cardinal points,
as they regard them, are abandoned, it
leaves but a single alternative, the re-
organization of the Populist party,
whose special object will be to espouse
the cause of labor, and carry many
votes thereby. As most OF these votes
were cast to swell the aggregate vote
for Mr.. Bryan, their demands cannot
be easily brushed aside, especially as it
would be concession to those who
defeated the party by direct support OF
the Republican ticket. while placing
. straw image for support OF the more
conscientious members of the party.
1t is hardly thought that Mr.. Bryan
needs any coaching to impel him to
remain true to the principles he has
so sturdily maintained. but it will
probably be proper to give some assur-
ance TO those allies who were such a
potent factor in rolling up vote that
was nearly successful against the COM
bined power of wealth and official in
huence.

CARNATIoN DAY.-The origin OF

Matter Of Considerable Importance.

The case of Geo. E. Filley, admins
traitor, vs.. A. H. Christopher, on trial
before Judge Linn and jury last week,
terminated Saturday morning by the
jury returning verdict in complete
accord with the contention of plaintiff
that the seating, scenery, furniture,
heating apparatus and gas and light
fixtures of Olympia Theater was per-
sonal property and belonged to the
estate. The demand is for restitution,
or payment at the appraised value al.
legged in complaint, and it may be
added that the property is worth it
from the fact that a number of gen.
tlemen stand ready to purchase it at
its true value for placing in a new
building which the Chicago disaster
shows to be so much necessity. The
addition of stairways leading from q
lofty building for hasty egress, is more
dangerous than the fire, for the latter
may be extinguished without anybody
being burned to death, but the mo.
ment person stumbles in . stampede

is on level or on an incline, there is
