FRATERNAI. WORDS.

The Lancaster Teller of last week
contained n very good report OF the
grand encampment OF odd Fellows
and department council OF patriarchs
militant, held In Mineral Point, Oct
o, 10 aud IL. Burne Pollock junior
editor of the Teller, was present and
took an active part In the proceedings.
] vas made patriarch, the highest
rank In Odd Fellowship. During his
stay here he was guest Mt the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Trewoek !,
and In The Teller, tells Of the kind
hospitality extended to him. In com
pany with Joseph N. Trcweels, he Wis
tied the TWO newspaper offices here,
and we quote below the pleasant words
which he publishes regarding them:
1.-THE Junior editor OF The Teller while
In Mineral Point last week made calls
at the two newspaper offices there and
was kindly received by the proprietors
and shown about their plants. Miner
nj Points two papers are tho Tribune,
published by w. II. and b. j, Beunctt,
and the Iowa County Democrat, by
George and Robert NJ, Crawford,
Both OF the offices we're found by The
Teller man to be In very good order
and model offices for their size. The
Tribune has been In its present local
tion on the upper noor of u stors
building for SO many years that the
publisher says that tho rent he ha-
paid has paid for the erection OF the
building. The composing room, sane
tum and press room are all on the
same noor. The Democrat Office Is
located on the main floor In build
ing farther up the one street which
contains all OF Mineral Points bust
ness houses, with II press-room in the
basement. This press-room Is mod
ell of convenience and noatness, Usu-
ally such press-rooms In county offices
are dark and dirty but such is not the
case with the Democrat, The press
room has u cement floor and walls, is
fitted up with dust-proof roller and
stock cabinets The power used is
steam, II little engine being used to
run both the cylinder and the job
presses. The Teller man didn't talk
politics at the Democrat Office, for the
Democrat Is the representative OF the
Stalwart wing In Iowa county. But
Editor Bennett OF the Tribune told the
Teller man OF the efforts OF Congress
man Babcock to secure the political
support of his paper and the reburs
that he received, /"

Future of State Universities.
NO men

No one interested In education can
repress thrill Of exaltation as he
looks forward to the future OF the
great state universities, writes Presi-
dent Pritchett OF the Massachusetts
Institute OF Technology in the current
number OF the Atlantic Monthly. They
were started, he continues, at a fortu-
nate intellectual epoch Their founda-
ton stones we're laid when the battle
for scientific freedom and scientific
teaching had jest been won. They
were dedicated Ply the pioneers who
founded them in spirit of intellectual
and spiritual freedom. They are es-
sentially and In the broadest and sim
plest way democratic, and the logical
outgrowth OF u democratic system of
public schools. IL Is to this real dem
ocrdcy, to the fact that they were
founded, not by few men or by %
single man, but by the whole people
OF the state, that they owe their great
est fortune, and no one looking into
the future can doubt that they are to
be amongst the most influential, the
richest, and most democratic univer-
sites of our land, vying with the old
est and most famous institutions of
our Eastern States in n rivalry which
we may we'll hope to see the noble riv-
airy OF the scholar rather than II riv-
airy Of riches, or buildings, and Of

The logic Of events, or rather the
logic Of revelations, is making out n
strong case these days against repub-
lican domination. The democratic
prayer should be for wise leadership,
and for deliverance from municipal
ownership and other undemocratic
fads. And democrats should watch
as well MS pray that those who preach
new light doctrine be not taken and
accepted as party leaders.

Fabulous Cost Of Solomon's Templs

Fabulous Cost Of Solon1on's Temple
solomon's Temple hourished before
the days Of modern "Graft," but it
may be wondered what became of all
the jewels and precious stones, for the
talents of gold, silver and brass used
in the construction of the temple were
valued at about thirty-fiye billions Of
dollars, and the Jewels about the same,
according to Vilapandus The cOnse-
Grated vessels Of gold amounted to two
and three-quarter billions; Of silver
two and one-half billions; the vest
ments and musical Instruments to
eleven and one-quarter millions.
There were ten thousand men en-
ployed to hew timber, seven thou
sand as burden carriers, twenty thou
sand as hewers of stones, thirty-three
hundred overseers, all of whom were
employed for seven years and upon
whom Solomon bestowed as a gift
thirty millions of dollars. Adding the
food and wages the total would be
over four hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. The costly stone and tim
