Mir. Moore and Masonry.

In a report of the recent session of Scottish Rite Council, The Washington Times says:
 Grand Minister of State George F. Moore led the fight for the revision of the code on the floor of the Senate chamber. His work in this cause was heartily applauded by the members of the council. Grand Minister of State Moore. who was formely Chief Justice of Alabama, his native State. is con- sfdered as being one of the most pro found students of Masonry in the country. His work in the cause of Masonry has extended over many years, side of progress and improvement in the work of Masonry.
 President Roosevelt some time ago offered MT. Moore judgeship at Pana- ma with a salary of $7,50o per annum, but he declined the honor. because, as he said. he was too busy in the cause of his beloved Masonry"

 It Is seriously announced from Wash ington that should President Roosevelt chance to be bitten by a mosquito while in New Orleans.

Surgeon General Rixey of the navy will accompany the President and cooperate with the Fed eral and local authorities in keeping the mosquitoes of His Excellencv's per son!

A pALACE ON WATER.

probably in no one line of human ef- forts has there been greater advances than in maritime architecture. We are well aware of the progress that has been made in all the uses and applica- tions of electricity, in machinery, in engines and curs. and in almost every otlier industrial, mechanical and scien- tific line. but the building and equip ment of modern ships Is d wonder. In The Indianapolis Star we find these de- tails oi one of the latest examples;
 The Amerika is the worlds largest ship. s,he is of about 22,500 tons regis ter ana can carry lb,UVU tons or cargo and aDout i,UUv passengers ana crew. ene Is bsI feet long. "A lest incaes wide ahu 53 feet deep. Her advent marKs the introduction of many in- nvyations in ocean travelling, including | restaurant where meats will be served at all hours, florists shop, eiectric passenger elevators connecting the decks, d well-equipped gymnasium; state-room telephone service. nur- sery for children. trained nurses for the sick and electric and hydropathic baths. The restaurant is amidships on the sixth deck, and will accommo- date l20 persons.
 Extending the full width of the ship the main dining room is loo feet long It Is situated amidships. The walls are of pearl gray enriched with paint ings, and the furnishings are in Louis XVI style. In the center of the saloon is d large dome, supported gy graceful columns. The smoking room is arr ranged in two stories on the upper pro- menade and boat decks, with a large staircase. It represents as nearly as possible great hall or hunting room of an EliEabethan manor house. The solid oak Is all hand carved and left with the rough tool marks of the period There is a huge Elizabethan fireplace with stone hearth.
 We think Of the little caravels on which Columbus set forth to find new world and wonder how he could en- trust himself to the mercy of unknown waters in such vessels. His flagship, the Santa Maria, was 63 feet long, 20 feet wide and 200 tons burden, and in construction and equipments was a veritable tub. How would she look alongside the Amerika?
 But we need not go back so far for comparisons. In fact we need only |, go back few years. True. the Great Eastern. launched in 1858. was five feet longer and seven feet broader than the Amerika, but she was failure, and in nothing but size could compare with the latest vessel It is also true that this latter is not the largest vessel of modern times, for the Oceanic Is 704 feet long with a registered capacity of 2s.5oo tons, but in all the finishings and equipments the Ameriks is probably the most complete ocean vessel the world ever saw. In fact, nothing that science and art can suggest has apparently been spared to make this one of the erowning glories of maritime skill And no one may safely predict that the limit has been reached. or that there is a limit. Modern ship-building is one of the wonders of the age.

 Whats this you are having here. Is it a street fair?' queried an Eastern drummer who arrived here during the early part of last night and made his way up Commerce Street, coming to complete stop at Court Square. He was in company with a friend, citi- zen of Montgomery. 'So far as I know, there is not a street fair in Montgomery. The city Is in its normal condition" replied the friend.
 Well then. I must say" continued the drummer, that Montgomery Is the most brilliantly illuminated town in the South and one of the best lighted in the country.

LooB<ing for Pickpockets.

We are going to have a great crowd of people here Tuesday to see the Presi-, dent" said Police Captain W. H. Taylor. Tt may be the largest crowd that ever thronged the streets of Montgomery and lawbreakers will be here prepared to give us trouble.
 '"fhe Atlanta newspapers report that when the President was there Friday pickpockets naked freely with the great crowd of Georgians and many of them were robbed. Several thousands of dollars were taken and number Of the thieves were arrested. s q
 Now, we expect to have our entire force of men on duty and we hope to minimize robberies in Montgomery. We hope the public will cooperate with us and will guard against plckpockets. Pebble who mix in the crowd should leave their jewels and large sums of money at home. Houses should not be left unprotected.

THE BEEF TRUST INQUIRY.
Former Stenographer of Armour and
Swift Tells of Secrets.

Carbon copies of more than score of
letters dictated to Mrs Mary e Marcy
while she was a stenographer in the Kanl
sas City Offices of Armour & Co and Swift
& Co. afforded interesting reading in Chi+
cago yesterday afternoon for the federal
grand jury which is investigating the beef
trust.
The letters related to the prices of meats
and collections, and, while containing no
specific references to any written agrees
ment between the packers, offered positive
proof that there was clear understands
ing as to competition in business.
District Attorney Morrison regards the
letters as highly important aids to the ms
yestigation, and with the consent of MRS.
Marcy will retain possession of them un>
til the inquiry is ended. when. if indict<
ments are voted. they will be introduced
as evidence at the trial. Assistant Attor-
ney General Pagin, who left for WASH.
ington yesterday to make a report on the
investigation TO the Department of JUS
tice also considers the letters valuable
evidence.
The Importance attached to the letters
by the packers themselves is shown by
the fact that at the bottom of each letter
are the words, Burn this Mrs Marcy
testified to the fact that all letters written
by her and other stenographers concerns!
ing quotations on meats and collections
from customers contained the request for
immediate destruction by fire. =
Besides testifying as to the letters, MRS.
