The second week OF the Masonic Fair

last week were eouHted Saturday night
1t was founF the money turned into the
treasury was far In excess of the show
ing for the first week Of the fair of 1902
and the attendance was greater on every
night of the week than at either of the
fairs Of 1898 or four years ago The SUI
cess has been beyond all expectations.
The fair management is making ar
rangements for the reception of larger
crowds than ever before. Five Of the
six nights have been set aside for the
entertainment OF special guests. and It is
anticipated that the record OF attendance
viii De broken on several occasions. To-
night has been designated "Fraternal'
night. and there viii be Virginia night,
Shrine night, o. f. 5, night. and Templar
and Chapter night No special guests
are invited for Saturday night, when
the fair viii end with a grand closing
night sale. Fraternal night at other
fairs has always brought out large
crowd, and Shrine night is usually the

that this year will be no exception to the
rule.
The guests invited for tonight include
the odd Fellows. Knights OF Pythias. Red

ganizations have been asked to attend in
uniform. and the Red Men viii wear the
garb of the aborigiues, carrying their
tomahawks and knives
B f. Smith, president of the board of
control of the Masonic fair, yesterday
called attention to an erroneous state
ment made regarding season tickets TO
the fair.
Through some inadvertence,' % said Mr..
Smith, the statement has gone to the
public that season tickets to the fair
would be without value, so far as the
numerous gifts which go with them are
concerned, unless the auditors coupons
are turned over to the board Of control.
This is not the case. Every season ticket
purchased on account of the fair. whether
used or not, and regardless of what has
become of the auditors coupon attached
to it, will be considered and counted
when we get ready TO announce the gifts.
1T would facilitate the work of the
audit committee of the board of control
If the auditors coupons could all be turn
ed in, but failure to turn them in does
not invalidate any season ticket. I shall
be obliged 10 The Washington Herald II
it VIII make a statement to that effect.

cry. No. 8. knights TempIars. Special
music wss given. and Dr. King preached
a sermon on Christian fraternity.
There are all kinds of fraternities. or
brotherhoods. he said, with all sorts Of
ideals and all sorts Of ends 10 be at
tanned, but any brotherhood that attains
worthy ends is TO be commended. Among
the noblest. as well as the oldest. brother
hoods is the Masonic fraternity" In this
connection DR.. King gave review OF the
history of Potomac Lodge. It was in part
as follows.
AT meeting Of the Grand Lodge Of
the State Of Maryland. on the 2tst Of
April, 1883, petition was presented from
q number of respectable brethren from
Georgetown on the Potomac River pray
ing for a warrant TO authorize them TO
convene as a regular lodge. This petition
was granted.
"Of this lodge is possessed no relic or
record but the gavei used by George
Washington at the laying of the corner
stone Of the Capitol, September IS. 1893,
and by him then, according TO tradition,
handed TO the master of the lodge OF
the genuineness of this gavel now in the
possession Of the present lodge there can
be no doubt whatever, as reliable letters
written by eyewitnesses of the corner
stone ceremony are also in the possession
of the lodge. II is undoubtedly one Of
the most valuable historic relics IA
America to-day"
In concluding, DR. King made a strong
plea for universal peace. and drew an apt
comparison between the nation and the IN
dividual fighting a duel to right a wrong.
The anniversary celebration will be con-
cluded with a banquet in Masonic Han,
on Wisconsin avenue, Georgetown, this
evening. Judge John A. Lacy viii act
as POSTMASTER. Speeches viii be made by
Grand Master Woodman, Rev. George W.
King. George n. Brown, Henry k Simp-
son, and Prof. Billheimer, of the Gettys-
burg College. Rev Stanley Biliheimer
will deliver the invocation.

verses. And as many as were touched
were made whole.

Triumph of the Bible"
''AH attempts TO disDrove the Word Of
God have been in vain." he said. TT is
admitted there is good deal in the Bible,
and some parts of it are hard to under
stand. But religion without mystery is
religion without God. and. if we under
stood everything in the Bible, we would
say 1t is a man-made book
Gods word is triumphant because It
has lived in the hearts and minds Of great
men"

chieaoo,s Costly smok. Nuisance,

Charles A. Stevens, merchant of
State street. Chicago, declares that the
smoke nuisance costs Chicagoans more
than S40.00o000 annually and that the
damage TO the stock of the State street
merchants caused by black smoke ex-
ceeds $2.000.O00 annually. His address
was part of "A symposium on the
Smoke Nuisance" as first step in the
direction of the launching by clubwo-
men of new crusade TO bring about
the strict enforcement of the antismoke
nuisance ordinances. Il have made a
careful investigation as to the amount
of reductions made necessary in our
house during last year because of goods
being spoiled" said Mr. Stevens. land
you may be surprised to know tina the
reductions that actually occurred in
Our house last year amounted to near
ly 100000. and believe | would be
perfectly safe in saying that the total
reductions in prices made in State
street annually because of black smoke
would amount to close to 1000. 000.'

THE POWER OF COTTON.


While cotton was cultivated fifteen
hundred years before Christ by Hindoos
and is cultivated to some extent by
ether countries. it is in the South that
over hree-fourths of the worlds supply
is produced. With our youth skilled in
every detail of cotton growing seed Sc
lection, plant breeding. fertilizing, pre-
pairing the seeded, cuItivation--we may
confidently expect the South to continue
to hold practical monopoly of the
worlds greatest staple crop, and at the
same time continue to increase the yield
10 meet the ever increasing demands
Of civilization Dr. Walter H. Page.
OF the Worlds Work, is correct in his
prediction that I'VE are in sight of the
sime when the cotton grower of the old
slave states will become the most pros
porous tiiler of the earth" 1t is ques-
ton of increasing the yield per acre, re-
dtcing the cost per bale, improving the
fibre, and maintaining fair price for
the products.

THE JUVENILE COURT.

On Friday the first session OF ths
Juvenile court was held in Shreveport
His Honor A B. Murff, judge, presided
At the bar OF justice were two white
boys, three negro boys and negro girl
charged with petty stealing. One of the
white boys, held for setting fire to .
bale of cotton, denied the charge. Hav-
ing received fatherly talk from Judge
Murff, the offenders were released on
their parents promising to give them a
good stripping.
One of the offenders was white boy,
Frank Candy. He had barely enough,
garments to relieve him from state OF
nature. His immediate needs were sup
piled by several charitable gentlemen.
1t is conceded that some repressive ac-
ton must be. exercised legally against
this class of juveniles, but is it humane
and just to turn loose on the conlmun-
ity boys who should be cared for by the
state in a refornlatory institute.

PERSISTENT AND CRUEL.

From reports given by telegraph Je-
rome, district attorney of New York, is
cold, persistent and even brutal in his
cross-examination of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. 1t was contemplated that he
would have attempted to prove that
Mrs. Thaw, when a maiden OF fifteen
and of spotless character. had beguiled,
seduced and debauched Stanford White,
but if the reports be true as conveyed
from New York, Jerome is exceeding all
bounds in his pittiless examination.
Paint Mrs. Thaw in features discredita-
BILE, let Jerome exult if he will in his
power to compel the witness to reveal
the innost secrets of her heart, but
whether she is and has been in any
deviation from the path of rectitude, yet
on Stanford White must rest the enor-
nifty of his act, which is abhorred by
all decent and seIf-respecting men when
he bad the advantage of his victim, en-
trapped in his room of mirrors.
There should be some limit even in the
examination of witness by a district
attorney. Assuming that Jerome had
applied the same persistence in prescott
ing gentlemen thieves, how many of the
social high set would now be doing time
in auburn Or Sing Sing?

Nitric Acid From the Air.

Sir William Crookes has discovered
how to get nitric acid from the air. but
the discovery has long been looked for.
Il have before me- writes Il CORE
spondent of the London Chronicle, "a
manual of chemistry in which find a
eulogy of nitrogen and its compounds.
such as nitric acid and the SO called
compound ammonias. Whoever says
the inspired chemist, succeeds in pro-
ducing those bodies in abundance from
the nitrogen of the atmosphere without
the use of organic materials will not
only amass a princely fortune, but
must rank as one of the greatest bene-
factors OF the human race, inasmuch
as such Il discovery would open up an
almost infinite supply of matter for
the fertilization of the land
