 It was testified by some prominent southerners that the Klu-Klux Klan was intended to counteract the evil done by the secret political orders among the negroes, which were formed under the direction of the "carpetbag" politicians to control the votes of the blacks at elec- tions
 It was not long however before the purposes of the association were per verted. It became an organization for the whipping, banishng and murderng of negroes and northerners The better men drew out and the lawless continued. At first it did not bear the same name throughout all the southern states, and
 in some parts of the southern section 1t was known as the Pale Faces" "The Brotherhood" 'TThe Knights of the White known by the name of the Klu-Klux Klan.
 The sphere of the operations of the Klan was known as the Invisible Elm pire' The chief functuary was the Grand Wizard. Each state was realm ruled over by a Grand Dragon. Each congress sonal district was dominion, at the head of which was the Grand Titan. Each county was a province under the rule of a Grand Giant and each county was subdivided into camps and dens, each governed by n Grand Cyclops. The mem bers were called ghouls. They went dis guised on their raids, the prevailing cos tune being a white gown mask and a high cardboard hat, with ears or horns attached The horses too, were dis guised. and the supernatural powers or the Klu-Klux were said to come from the spirits of dead Confederates.
 A meeting was usually held and per sons under the ban were discussed Ne- groes active in politics. carpetbaggers and northern school teachers and ministers were the most frequent victims. Some times the persons were merely warned to desist in some action or to leave the state while at times others were whip ped and some killed All of the warn ings were written In mysterious form,
 of which the following is good sample K. K. K, Dismal Swamp Eleventh Hour. Mene, meme, tekel upharsin. The bloody dagger Is drawn; the trying hour Is at | hand: beware. Your steps are marked;

 South-Its Plan of
 Operation.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Norfolk, Va.-The death of Captain Joseph Richardson coomes recently ended a life full of experiences. If tradition is correct Captain Coomes was one of the eight Confederate prisoners in a Union prison at Rock Island, Ill. who planned the Ku-Klux Klan.
 He was a prisoner because his own brother. Richard W. Coomes of No. 20S2 North Fulton avenue. saw fit to capture him and have him sent to Rock Island, with other prisoners of war, for a term of eighteen months. The brothers only met once after that, and this was at the deathbed of their father who was a Marylander.
 This difference of feeling in one fam fly was not extraordinary for those times for the strife has often been referred to as a war of brothers: but few men have to their credit the capture of brother It was not an easy task for either, and though blood is usually thicker than water" Richard w. Coomes did his duty.
 The Coomes family lived in Maryland and when the war began there were seven brothers. Four enlisted.
 Joseph R. Coomes and Charles B. COOmGS lOOh SlutS Nllu the while Richard w. Coomes and George E. Coomes stood by the Union.
 The alleged planner of the Klu-Klux rose to the rank of a lieutenant, and SC did Richard Coomes. Both were in the cavalry, one with Cole and the other with Ashby, and they met near Strasburg, Va, in 1861. The battle was a hard one and when it was over many Confederate pris- oners were taken. As he was rounding Iiatftpnanf Richard COOmes found his brother. All were alike to him and the brother received the same treat ment as the others and served his term.
 William Coomes of Gaithersburg, Md, is a brother of the alleged member of the Klan. Other brothers are Charles B. Coomes of Tennessee and James D. Coomes of Ohio.
 The Klu-Klux Kan first came into pub lie notice in 1866 It was u secret order, the name being taken from the Greek word for circle, but the spelling was al- tered to give the mysterious abbreviation TX. K K" which had so startling an effect.
 The organization was formed in Giles county. Tennessee it is said, during the administration of Governor Brownlow. It was the original idea, It was said. for members of the society to assemble for pleasure and amusement. But the de- moralization and turbulence or the ne groes at the close of the war necessitat- ed, it was said, some means Of restraint which the government did not afford The Klu-Klux Klan was adapted to this purpose. and in the beginning It was conducted like slave patrol with the idea of soaring the superstitious into obe- dience. Among the members of the as- sociation were some of the best citizens of the south.
 The original purpose set forth in the constitution, were the protection or the weak and innocent from the outrages oi lawless and brutal persons, the relief oi the injured and oppressed. the extension

MODERN DENTISTRY.
Porcelain lnlays Made Nowadays That
 Perfectly Match the Teeth.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 'It used to be-" said the dentist, that everybody wanted his front teeth filled with gold, but now there are plenty of people who regard gold filings that show as unsightly. and who have their front teeth filled and built up if required with porcelain. which matches the teeth in color. This porcelain work Is one of the later advances in the development of modern dentistry.
 Tn filling tooth with gold we drill out the cavity to make 1t larger within than at the opening, but the cavity for a porce- lain filling is made slightly larger at the opening than at the base. The porce- lain filling is held in place. not by the narrowing in of its retaining walls at the opening, as is the case with other filings, but by cement.
 With the cavity for a porcelain filling prepared, matrix or impression of 1t is

 Out of this powder an inlay is baked which fits the cavity in the tooth perfect ly, if the work has been done properly. The inlay, as I said. is held in place by adhesion, with cement. There are many shades of porcelain material, there are also made inlay cements of many shades. The proper shade of cement having been selected, and the surface around the cavity and that of the back of the Inlay

 Porcelain is also used in building up back teeth. but 1t is used more for inlays in front teeth. where other kinds of fill- ings would show. The making of these inlays calls for the exercise of fine art and skill; but the modern dentist fills these requirements and makes porcelain inlays whose presence would not be dis

 ..People's teeth vary in color and ar tificial teeth are supplied in pretty nearly innumerable varieties of shape and size and color and shade and spacing. These porcelain powders for filings are made in many different shades. and if the right shade cannot be found among the stand ard powders, then the shade desired can
