Masonic Sign New to Philadelphia.
A rather good story was related
at q banquet given in the Masonic
temple few nights ago. The speaker
sagd that a certain individual hIJ
expressed a desire to become associat-
I'd with the order, and asked II it waI
rue that a member could travel tho
world over free Of cost, merely Ly
giving one of the many secret signs.
Being answered in the Affirmative. hs
said that II his Masonic friend would
confdentially give him a sign that
would take him to Pittsburg and re-
turn, without being required to par
chase transportation, he would .uin
the order.
The friend something Of a wag, in
structed the candidate to raise h,s
hand to the right side of the head
whenever the conductor approached
hlm for his ticket, and, learning tns
train he was going to take, purchased
the transportation, explained matters
to the conductor of the train and
awaited developments. The candidate
for Masonic honors fonowed instruc-
tlons, and all went well, OF course
until he was coming back. AS no re-
turn ticket had been provided for ne
was forced to pay his fare.
Naturally this made him aHgTy, a11
upon meeting the triend, he was no.
in the least backward in denounc .ng
him and the order.
Did you follow the sign instruct
ions gave you?" was asked
did, was the reply.

side Of the head and wriggled ~
fingers"
That's where you made a mistake.
You were returning, and should havo
wriggled on the left side"

How st. Petersburg Heard the News.
About nine O'Clock. the programme
announced there would be sn open air
display 81 stereoptoon pictares Of the
war. Here in the semi -4or
the electric arc lamps are not lOs num-
erous and too MUCK light would have
SPOILED the effect OF the pictures
stood a crowd Of four OF eve thousand
Russians. No circumstances could be
more favorable for the free display OF
whatever feeling swayed the crowd. A
lecturer with stentorian voice explain
ed each picture as 1t was thrown upon
the screen. The crowd applaud ID
freely, and was as often silent 7 ne
first picture showed was the most ptp-
ular. 1t was the pot ait of Admiral
Makaroff, who lost bis life when his
flagship was blown up at the very be.
+ ginning of the war. He was instantly
recognized and loudly cheered. There
fas considerable cheering for Verest-
chagin, the painter who perished with
Makaroff. When the portrait of 0ener-
al Linevich was shown there was
faint, half-subdued murmur of applause
It was followed by portrait of Gener-
al Kuropatl1in. There was not a single
cheer. A boy near me whistled. But
no other sound broke the silence. The
crowd looked at their general with icy
stiffness. The hero of so many master.
y retreats excited no enthusiasm,
evoked no gratitude. 1hen followed
some pictures of incidents of the war
which were followed with keen inter-
est, but which elected little remark.
The lecturer made one observation in
the course of his explanation, which
possessed a certain tragic-comic pasAos
ism Of the Russian soldiers-which in
of its own. After describing the hero
deed cannot be too highly praised, he
assured his hearers that IF the Japan
ese had not been in such a hurry to
make peace General Linevich and his
men would have given them tremen-
dous thrashing. The crowd received
this gloss upon the peace negotiations
with stolid Indifference. Possibly this
may come to be accepted as the popu-
lar legend. 1t is near enough the belief
of many well informed persons to have
chance Of general currency.-From
