CONSERVATIVE AND EXCLUSIVE
WELSH VILLAGE.
Town of Langwm Remarkable for Its
Self-Efacing Male Population
Girls Kept Within Bounds
Until Recently.

London.-The county of Pembroke
in Wales is perhaps able to find as
much food for the antiquary as any
two others in Great Britain. 1t is a
land of ruined palaces and castles.
ancient churches and still more an
cient history. Its towns of any size
are few and far between and for this
reason its hooks and corners are but
little visited by the quickly passing
tourist while the townspeople them
selves seem neither to know much
interests in the hamlets and villages
about them.
A marked case in point is the little
village of Langwm.
Little Langwm is now practically
the only self-contained community in
the county able to point to a direct
descent from their lusty ancestors
across the North sea.
So conservative and exclusive are
this little villages traditions that it
was not till quite recently that its
daughters were allowed to go forth
into what must have been to them
a very foreign domestic service or
marry beyond its bounds, while their
tongue to this day is far less intel
ligible to their neighbors than it must
have been in late Norman days when
the dialect from that in fairly gen
eral use in England
But it is in their domestic affairs

ROW OVER OLD WALL.

OF the leading society women of
Texas.
Miss De Zavala claims that the old
walls may be made into an arcade and
used as a museum of Texas history.
At this time the building is used as
wholesale grocery and whisky ware
house.
This trouble all came up over the
offer of a st. Louis man named
Charles NJ. Reeves. representing own
ers of land just back of the old walls
to defray the entire expense of wreck
ing the old building and making a
park In its place.

IS AN ATHLETE AT EIGHTY.

1887 he conducted a gymnasium at
Ninth and Arch streets
Thirty-three years ago Lewis was
asked to become the physical instruc-
tor at Girard college. He accepted
the offer, and his name was dignified
by the little professor.
Professor Lewis long term of serv-
ice at the college has been one con-
unual success. The weight of his
rs years apparently hampers him not
in the least in his work.

Lois Lewis of Girard College Is Old
est Physical Instructor.

Philadelphia.-Gi college boasts
of probably the Oldest physical in
structor in the United States. His
name is Lois Lewis and this is his
seventy-eighth winter. For 80 years
he has been teaching and directing
the boys of Girard college in their
gymnastic work, and so understand
ingly does he deal with them that
they consider their hours spent daily
under his instruction not hours of
work, but hours of positive pleasure.
One and all they leave the college
with great affection for the old pro-
fessor.
Professor Lewis is the son of an
old soldier. Although German, his
father fought valiantly under Napol-
con in the memorable battle of Water
loo.
Lois Lewis was born in Frankfort
on-Main. Germany When a mere boy
he was noted for his proficiency in
every branch of gymnastics and made
quite record as an athlete Follow
ing in the footsteps of his father.
Lois, too. became a soldier. The fu-
ture began to look very rosy for
young Lewis when, in the year 1S4S,
revolution put the fatherland in a
turmoil. Lewis got mixed up in this
revolution and. unfortunately for him
self, was on the wrong side. He was
forced to fee from the country.
Lewis arrived in Philadelphia in
1850. In a little hall on Poplar
street, between Second and Third
streets, he helped to form an organ
ization which eventually developed
into the Philadelphia Turngemeinde.
which now fourishes in its home at
42s North Sixth street. From 1859 to

Duke will delve into his masters
pocket, IL he knows there is a coin
inside, and when he once gets the
coin In his mouth he has to be per-
suaded to give 1t up. He knows the
difference between coins and anything
which resembles a coin. He will pick
five-cent piece off the floor and run
away with 1t in his mouth, but he
Will absolutely refuse to pick up
slug which resembles a nickel in
size and appearance.
Pitch a silver dollar into a barrel
of water. and Duke will dive to the
bottom of the barrel and bring 1t
up, holding It In his teeth. Place
coin on the limb OF a tree and Duke
will climb the tree and fetch it down
provided, of course, the tree trunk
is not entirely perpendicular and the
money is not placed farther than IL

In addition to these antics. Duke Is
veritable clown. He will stand at
the command OF his master on his
hind feet and cry. and all the while
the tears will actually roll down his
face. Duke was born eight years ago
and has been trained by his master
from the time he was a puppy.

Resolutions Of. Coincidence.

The Masonic fraternity Of this city
have adopted the following resolutions
on the death Of the late Hugh Rankin:
Resolutions of coincidence on the death of
our universally respected and beloved bro
Their hugh Rankin
1t is q melancholy duty to pay tribute to
the memory of a dead friend. but it IL a duty
which the living have ever esteemed it q
privilege to perform, not accorded as right,
for the desd demand nothing. but bestowed
in simple reverence and sincere homage, as
the least that one can do. and as q mark of
sympathy and a message OF coincidence to
the immediate relatives and friends of our
departed brother.
THIS brings US TO a consideration Of our de-
ceased brother as man. We knew the best
and the worst Of him. he had lived with US
for score of years. always in the open light
OF day.
He has been called upon to assume the du-
ties OF public Office. acquitting himself with
honor and esteem. and having always in view
the best and highest interests Of his
constituents; and his faults. II any, which we
are sure he would not want US to overlook
were like the stains upon the lambskin of the
ancient Entered Apprentice, rejecting credit
rather than disgrace. He was stnguiarly gen.
erous In his nature. quick to respond to the
appeal of the unfortunate or distressed, and
ever arm and fair In the cause Of right and
duty.
As Mason he was ever responsive to the
call OF duty, at all times taking an active
part in the welfare Of the order. and he was
particularly attentive to the interests Of bis
home lodge. His loss will be keenly felt
among usall, but more especially so when his
brethren assemble and miss his cheerful face
erom the regular sessions Of the lodge.
We extend our most sincere sympasy and
fraternal coincidence, expressing the hope
that, IN accordance with the designs found
upon the trestle. board of life and speciaca.
tions contained in that Book OF Life, the ma
sons rule and guide of faith, the Holy Bible,
this memorial, dedicated to the memory of
this worthy brother, may serve to remind US.
that. though we may be stricken down while
our work is unfinished and our column lie
broken the lesson OF such untimely death
will raise us to regions Of pure thought and
stimulate US to greater achievements.
Finally, brethren. we are again forcibly
reminded that all along the pathway OF life
arc tombstones. by the side of which we have
promised to strive for heaven, and again, we
are admonished that the summons will come
to US sooner or later. and that with each re-
curing report we are brought face to face
with the Importance of not only building q
complete character in this life. but one that
will bring us eternal joy.
We may here resolve that We shall, by the
help of the Lion of the tribe Of Judah, build
stately mansions in which God may be pleas
ed to dwell. Respectfully submitted.

DISAPPOINTED.

The Katharine Ridgeway Con.
cert Company failed to fill their
engagement with the local Lecture
Course Association last Thursday
night. Many people came to the
opera house only to find that the
entertainers had not come and the
association had heard nothing from
them until 8:15 when a message
came stating that the company
was at Tulsa, l. T., and had can
celled the engagement.
The officers of the asso citation
have written very plainly to the
Bureau concerning this treatment.
AS a matter of right they are enti-
tied to reimbursement. They
went to the expense of advertising
and had a large number of tickets
sold. This was regarded as one OF
the strong numbers and would have
been of much assistance in paying
out. AS it is, the money paid for
tickets will be refunded and the
local association will be behind.
There is no way in which this
action can be justified.
