Columbia Lodge, F. A. A. NJ, Wants
to Furnish Souvenir Badge.

Columbia Lodge, No. g. F. A. A. NJ, Of
this city, Is SO certain that the coming
Masonic fair Is to be q great success, that
1t has aksed permission of the board of
control to furnish a souvenir badge to be
sold in connection Herewith. The board
considered the request last night and
granted It. The lodge will purchase 10000
of these badges. paying for them on its
own hook, and Is confident that 1t can sell
them at: 10 cents apiece The money re-
sulting from this sale is to be turned over
to the new temple building fund. These
badges viii show an outline of the proposed
new temple, and will be quite artistic in
design. =
In this connection 1t is worthy of men,
ton that the lessees of the buildings which
at 18th and H streets northwest, have been
vacated, In accordance with the request of
the Masonic Temple Association. and that
I'm a few days the work of tearing these
old structures down will be begun. 1t is
the plan to have the work of constructing
the new temple SO we'll under way by the
time the Masonic fair draws to a close as
to permit the laying of the cornerstone
by the Grand Lodge of the District of Co.
lumbia. with the usual formal and impress
Siye ceremonies.
Mr.. Thomas c. Noyes, chairman of the
committee on stock subscriptions. made
very satisfactory report to the board Of
control last night. His committee is not
yet In full working order. and yet 1t has
received subscriptions for $1.6lO of new
tempse-stock. The committee is planning
to make a careful canvass of the Masons
Of the District in the interest of stock.
and there is every reason to believe that
Its work is to be attended with great sue
cess.
Mr.. W. H. Franklin, chairman Of the
committee on tickets and badges desires
to announce that season tickets to the
Masonic fair are to cost 81 each. and that
he hopes to begin their distribution within
a week or ten days, five to each Mason
and two to each lady member of the East
ern Star. All the money derived from the
sale Of these tickets is to 90 toward de-
fraying the expenses Of the fair.
Within a week or ten days the press
committee hopes to be In position to award
the contract for the publication OF the
Masonic Fair News. a daily newspaper
which is to run each evening while the
fair is in progress. At previous fairs this
newspaper has been quite a revenue pro-
Queer. At the fair of 1893 1t Melted 81. 400,
and at the fair of 1902, $1.145.

RED CARDS ON DOOR POSTS
GREAT EVENT FOR YOUNG LIFE

Practically all the Chinese children in the
city celebrated the advent of the New Year
this morning the same as the children did
in China, the custom requiring them to
PROSTATE themselves upon the ground be-
fore their parents, performing the ceremony
that Is known as ''kowtow.'' This cere-
mony. 1t is said, is performed by all native
Chinese children except the very poorest or
lowest Of Chinese society. In some districts
in China, particularly in the Shun TAX dis
trict. it is the custom of the children to put
their money together and make their par
ents presents. but the Chinese children In
this city are most too young to follow that
custom. Where children remember their
parents in that way they buy sweet persim-
mon- suearcd kam-quats and sugared cit
ron, boil them and present the water to
their parents to drink. They also buy their
parents articles of clothing. Some Of those
in this city celebrate the day by presenting
their parents with articles of clothing, be-
Ing particular to purchase dainty rather
than useful articles. Having made their
parents the seasonable presents. the chill
dren are then ready to make their New
Year calls with their father, their mothers
remaining in seclusion
Upon the fronts of the places of business
and homes Of the local Cinnamon this morn
ing red cards were displayed, the inscrip-
tons upon them being known only to those
who understand the language Of the orient.
Cinnamon say they are their New Year
cards. and that some Of them contain their
business as we'll as their home addresses.
the Chinaman always being careful to Sc
cure what free advertising he can when the
advertisement is to be circulated where ma
tives Of the fowery kingdom are likely to
see it. The cards are distributed rather
freely among the celestials and their Amer
lean friends who call to pay their respects
wonder how the host keeps his cards sepa-
rated from those of his callers. On the
counter or ironing table the caller sees hun
dreds of cards, and they all look alike to
him, but the Acknowledged celestial expe-
riences not the slightest bit of trouble in
telling his cards from those OF his friends
and relatives. In addition to being the New
Year day, this is being celebrated as the
birthday Of something like 100000 China
men.

IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC POOL.
Committee Meets in N.w York City
Today.

Committee Meets in NeW York City
Today.
BY Associated Press.
New York, May l6.-A special meet.
ing OF the committee in charge of the
immigrant traffic pool of the Western
Passenger association is being held
here today, In an effort to bolster up
the pooling plan. which is reported to
be nearing dissolution through the
Vaccinations OF unscrupuous agents.
The pooling plan was inaugurated
some years ago and had for its OBJ
ject the absolute control and equitable
distribution OF the routing by rail OF
all immigrants arriving at New York
and other North Atlantic ports. II is
stated that this distribution has not
been maintained and that one OF the
western roads carried 10000 immi-
grants last year In excess OF its al
lotment. through the assistance of
Peter Mcdonnell. acting as an indie.
pendent immigration agent. Melon
nell formerly controlled more immi-
grafton traffic than any other agent
in the business. After spending thou.
sands of dollars in attempts to put
him out of business, the roads in.
volved In the traffic pools employed
him as heir aget. 1t IL alleged that
Mcdonnell has diverted thousands OF
immigrants from the pool to one of
the leading western roads, thus secur-
ing extra commissions Other indie
pendent agents have also secured
much business and added to the dis
satisfaction OF the railroad passenger
agents.
By means OF the trafiic pool, there
is supposed to be made an equal di-
vision of the immigrants among the
railroads, equivalent TO a division OF
the profits. Each road to st. Paul or
Los Angeles or Dallas Is supposedly
allotted the same number of immi-
grants annually.
Attorneys who have been interview
ed on the matter express the opinion
that the immigration pooling plan is
in violation of both the antitrust and
rate laws, and II the quarrels among
the railroad passenger officials involy.
ed do not result in the dissolution OF
the pool, It is likely that the ill.,
terstate commerce commission will
soon be called upon to pass on the
legality Of the plan.
1t is urged by the railroad men
favorlDg a continuation of the pool
that It is a great protection to immi-
grants, preventing tnem from falling
into the hands Of INSCRIPTIONS lodging
house keepers and immigration
agents In the big eastern cities and af-
fording speedy transportation to their
destinations.

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and hue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In fue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat of flame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco that

to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
