Records, W. z st. John of Portland
After all of the new officers had been
conducted to their station MI ST. John
gave short address in which be ex-
planned the history and purposes Of the
order. From his remarks it appears
that the society had origin in l765 and
its tirst associations we're known as
"Sons of Liberty and Liberty Boys =
These organizations were formed to de-
fend the American colonists from Eng

the first objects of the order were long
since accomplished the lines defined by
them have always been maintained and
none but citizens of the United States
have been admitted to mem bership, nor
are its councils ever held except in lands
under the dominion of our government.
The braves refer with considerable
pride 10 the fact that Washington was
the first supreme officer of the order and
that President Roosevelt has recently
been admitted to membership.
Besides the ceremony OF installation

Death of DIR. Harper.

William R4iney Harper, l.. i. D.,
president of the University of Chicago
since its inception in 1891, regarded by
many as the foremost Hebrew scholar
in America, and equally renowned as ed
ucator and business man, died Wednes.
day of last week Of cancer of the intes-
tines, at his home on the university
campus. Although his death was known
to be inevitable, within a comparatively
short time, the end, owing to physical
exhaustion, came suddenly. He was 40
years old,
Three years ago DR.. Harper underwent
an operation for appendicitis. Cancer
Gus symptoms followed recovery from
this operation and on Feb. %, 1905, an
operation was decided on to determine
the cause of severe abdominal pains.
DR.. McBurney OF New York went to
Chicago for the operation, IN which he
WAS assisted by Drs. Billings and Bevran
Of Chicago. 1t was discovered that DR..
Harper was suffering from cancer at
the head of the large intestine and that
the malady had progressed so far that
an operation TO remove it would be fatal
to the patient. The surgeons decided
that the only hope of DR.. Harper lay In
medical measures. La short time he
left the hospital, knowing that his death
must ensue within short time.

Local or private bills,' says Samuel
p. Orth in the January Atlantic, "are
the weeds in our legislative garden.
They consume time, they sap energy,
they discourage talent, they conceal
lniqulty, they make law a by-word, they
transform legislatures into tribunals of
adjudication and courts into organs OF
legislation" Mr. Ortiz proceeds to
make very searching study Of the evils
Of special and petty legislation in the
United States, and then points out come
OF the more feasible remedies for the
disease. The two chief possibilities for
improvement, he thinks TO be the expan-
sion Of local autonomy and the extension
OF administrative authority under gener-
al laws. His paper rs whole is ore
which will repay serious study.

Ben Franklin in Boston. 1t sounds
imbecile, but it is the truth, to say that
the crucally important matters in a
mans life, in any age, are that his shoes
shall be IN comfortable trim, that he
shall have friends of his own order of
mind, that he shall be reminded TO have
his hair cut at the proper time, that his
children shall be prettily dressed and be
brought up TO prattle without embar-
rassment in the company OF any children
in the land The wireless telegraph, the
crystal, will always get itself sufficiently
talked about, let him depend. But the
really great facts have way Of descend
ing upon a man whether he likes TO
think of them or not. Navies and thirty
story buildings in spite of themselves
come TO seem Of small account to man
when his brlght.hsired daughter falls i'll,
suffers weeks, and dies. Thirty story
buildings lose some of their Importance
then. Then the great thing becomes
what it has always been-tbe amount of
sympathy you receive from neighbor
Smith, or the amount of it that you
yourself have had TO offer Smith when
his bank failed, or better yet The co.,
CALCULATIONS you gave him when his bus
ipess succeeded and yours withered up.

of Benton Falls as poet. But he has
written and published volume, the
longest poem in which is entitled "Uncle
Stephen This refers to Stephen
Crosby, one of the early settlers of that
portion Of Winslow which lies adjacent
TO Benton Falls. He was proprietor OF
grist mill during the time OF dearth,
the cold year OF 1916, and endeared him
self to his generation and his memory to
other generations by refusing to profit
by the distress of his neighbors, con-
tinuing to sell corn, of which he had a

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Cstarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send

EARTHQUAKE SHAKES SANTA re.

tory Os New Mexico

SANTA FE. n. NJ, Nov. lS.-Between
3 and 4 O'Clock this morning Santa Re was
shaken for several seconds by an earth
quake which rocked houses in different
parts of the city. but did no particular
damage. The shocks were plainly felt,
many people being awakened ron a deep
sleep. Reports from over the Territory
are that the shock was general.
A telephone message ron Sooorro says
that the first shock there occurred at S
O'Clock and lasted five seconds. Several
buildings were wrecked and people severely
frightened. Shocks are occurring there,
il is reported, at intervals Of from five to
ten minutes and are very severe.
Shocks were also felt this morning at
Torrance and E~stancis, in Torrance county
and at Albuquerque, Las Vegas and on the
Mescolers Indian reservation, where people
were awakened and articles knocked from
shelves.
The severest shock was felt here on Upper
Palace avenue, where there is a decided
slope toward the mountains. Houses
rocked on their foundations, but were not
injured. The seismic disturbance appar-
emily ran from north TO south.
