Manchester, England, April 23.-The
Guardian states that Father Capon,
former leader of st. Petersburg working.
men, was hanged by the revolutionists
on April 10.
IL giving the particulars of the ali
good hanging The Guardian says that
dealing out summary punishment to
Father Capon by revolutionists resulted
from mis- attempt to induce friend to
act as spy upon revolutionist leaders.
The proposal made by Father Capon was
reported to the revolutionists, who de-
termined upon his death. The friend to
whom he made the proposal invited the
former priest to his villa to talk the mat
ter over. Four revolutionists, who had
been concealed in the house, heard the
conversation. Father Capon was toldShe
would be exposed as spy replieS IL
would not deny it and no one woulS -
lieve It,"
At this the concealed men rushed into
the room, seized Father Capon and
hanged him to the ceiling of the sitting
room.

Letter to Geo. ssaborn, walhaIIa.

Dear Sir: II. H. Stephenson, cashier of
Oil City (Pa.) Savings Bank, writes:
"Nine years ago painted my house
with your paint. 1t wore so well, want
to use it again"
That's nothing wonderful except for
the fact that the soft coal region Of
Pennsylvania is pretty hard on paint
with it's oil, smoke and CRIME All we
see in it is that Devoe is good for nine
years sometimes. There are thousands
of people that know it, and millions
that don't.
There's the rub! We advertise for the
millions; we want to make paint for tho
millions.
Mr.. Cashier, do you know that Devoe
lead-and. zinc is twice as cheap as lead
and-oil, or mixed paints? Is 100 per
cent fair profit in your businessp
Threo-quarters of the people paint
lead-and-oil mixed by hand; while the
U. S. government uses lead, zinc and oil
ground together by machinery--sa,ne as
Devoe lead-an d-zinc. The majority
never is right about anything.
Yours truly,

suit of a dust explosion in a mine of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, 40
miles west of Trinidad to-day, % miners
are known to be dead and one other is

Meeting ., the Grand Lodge Knights Of Honor
1.-The State, April 90.

hho otato, hpTi ~.
The Grand Lodge Knights of Honor of
South Carolina, which convened in it's
thirtieth annual session Wednesday
night, concluded its work at the morning
session yesterday. The several commit
tees made their reports, which were
quito encouraging to the order.
A member of the Grand Lodge ia
quoted as saving that it is an illustration
of what has been described as the Indi.
ans definition of perseverance: First, to
take hold; second, to hold fast, and
third, never to turn loose.
This lodge for seve, al succeeding ses-
sions discussed the advisability Of the
admission of women into the order until
1t was finally adopted by unanimous
vote three years ago, and year ago the
Supreme Lodge embodied it in it's consti-
tuition. Ladies now throughout the
country are joining the Knights of
Honor. Six are reported yesterday as
having bsen admitted into one of the
subordinate lodges of this State.
The other question which has come up
for consideration at each succeeding
meeting of the Grand Lodge, and was
regularly killed, was the question of
biennial sessions, but this time it farod
quite differently, the lodge adopting it
by a vote of 40 to 2. Hereafter the
Grand Lodge will meet every two years
instead OF annually, the next meeting to
be held in Columbia on the third Wednes-
day in April, 1905 This is considered
the most important change adopted by
the Grand Lodge at this session.
The committee on memorials made it's
report, which was adopted by rising
vote. Forty-seven Knights have died
during the past year, seven of whom
were members of the Grand Lodge.
The following officers were elected and
duly installed for the ensuing term: j.
j. Vernon, past grand dictator, Well.
ford; G. p. Quttlebaum, grand dictator,
Conway; Miles b. McSweeney, grand
vice dictator, Hampton; b. G. DuPre,
grand assistant dictator, Columbia; l..
n. Zealey, grand reporter, Columbia; N.
w. Trump. grand treasurer, Columbia;
ID. Mcintyre, j. A. Ball and Rev. Z. G.
Clifford, grand trustees; l.. n. Iealy,
grand representative for four years to
Supreme Lodge; G. p. Quattlebaum, al
ternate.
The lodge appreciated so much the
address of Supreme Grand Dictator
John C. Sheppard that he was requested
to furnish copy of it to the grand re-
porter for publication in the papers of
the State, and TO be printed in folders
for distribution among subordinate
lodges.
The indications for the future pros
perity of the order were very encourag-
ing to the members. The adoption of
the step rate and level rate plans by the
Supreme Lodge are considered wise
measures, which will insure the perma-
nency and success of the order.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 13-Towering
away above the preliminary work Of per-
fecting the organization of the twenty
sixth annual convention Of the American
Federation Of Labor In its second day 5
session to-day, were two important and
positive announcements from John
Mitchell president Of the United Mine
Workers, who went on record as abso-
lutely refusing the presidency of the
federation should Samuel Gompers fail
Of reelection. and further denying the
report that he had consented to again
be candidate for president Of the
United Mine Workers Of America.
The proceedings Of the convention
proper throughout the day. although de
void of actual legislation because that
order Of business has not yet been
reached, were punctuated by importan;
recommends uOns. points OF peculiar in
terest, ana periods OF oratorieaI discus
sions.
The most lively discussion OF the day
came when the committee on rules in
cluded ia its report a recommendation
that Saturday half-holiday be given the
delegates during the convention. This
did not meet with unanimous approval.
and those who opposed any adjournment
Of the convention at that time were led
| into an exciting debate by Delegate D.
D. Driscoll. OF Boston. representing the
hoTseshOers.
A delegate from New York said that
the American Federation had been plead
1 ing for years the desiTability OF a half
/ holiday on Saturday, and he was of the
opinion that It would be a poor example
for the convention 20 set by convening
on Saturday afternoons.
Hot words followed. and several Other
delegates were clamoring for recognition
when President Gompers cut them short
| by saying it was folly 20 waste half d
/ day In discussing a halliday adjournment
