KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Seventeen new members of the To-
cal order of knights of Pythias were

Those who were compelled to ride

the Knights of Pythias is gradually
approaching the 200 mark and the
members are anticipating the largest
membership in the state before the
expiration of the winter. Another
class will be taken in next Friday
night and degrees will be installed
at each meeting for the next three
weeks on the new members. The
Knights of Pythias are planning a
number of social events for the win

RATHBONE SISTERS.
Great interest is being manifested
in the installation of the Rathbone
Sisters, auxiliary To the Knights of
Pythias in Ely. Mrs. Joe Downey
has been granted a dispensation by
the grand lodge TO bring the institu-
ton of the branch here and she is
working earnestly on the PROPOSE
ton. 1t is expected that the initial
meeting of the lodge will be held be-
fore Christmas. A large charter
membership will feature this gath
ering.
ODD FELLOWS.
Not unlike all other lodges of the
|. o. o. T. throughout the United
States. the local order of Odd Eel
lows is at present in a flourishing
condition. The membership ranks
among the largest of the district in
fraternal circles and many new men,
bers will be taken in during the win

REBEkAHS.
The Rebekahs were honored at
their regular meeting last week by
a visit from one of the state officers
from Reno. A large number of the
ladies' were in attendance to greet the
visitor and she was entertained In a
betting manner during her brief
visit here. Rapid strides will be ia
ken in future to increase the men,
bership and a number of social gath
erings are being planned to take
place during the coming months.
ELkS BUSY.
The refusal from headquarters to
grant "A charter TO Elyites has by no
means tended to damage the en-

General activity has marked the
conduct of the respective lodges of
Ely during the past week, the
Knights of Pythias and Eagles being
especially busy in work of enlarging
memb ership. A feature of the past
week in fraternal circles has been
a decision by the local aerie of Ea-
giles to construct a magnificent build
ing here.
EAGLES.
At the regular meeting of White
Pine aerie, r. o. f.. last Tuesday
night, the first anniversary of the
lodge was celebrated. The largest
representation of members in months
was on hand and a most enthusiastic
meeting was conducted. Following
brief exercises to commemorate the
affair a smoker was INDUCED in. The
affair besides being a most important
business meeting, proved an enjoy
able social gathering.
Principal among transactions was
thorough discussion of the proposed
construction of club house in Ely,
the structure TO be erected at cost
OF approximately $4,000. Report
was made by committee appointed
to select site to the effect that the
Oldfield property on High street was
available. There was no definite de-
cision reached with regard to suita-
BILE site. but the report was looked
upon as favorable The matter was
pigeon holed until Tuesday evening,
when definite decision will he
reached. The aerie being assured of
the necessary amount with which to
begin work, ground will be broken
for the new building as soon as the
site IL selected.

Unless congress enacts some
measure for the conservation of
Niagara Falls that pretty scenic at
traction bids fair to disappear.
There is temporary law now in exis-
tence which aims to meet this neces-
sity, but it's expiration is but eighteen
months distant and there is much
opposition by the power companies to
it's re-enactment. The power CON-
panies in this instance are really the
interests' and they will naturally
bring strong influence to bear in their
favor. Niagara at the present time
has been deprived of much of it's pic
turesqueness by the power companies
the volume of water running over
the falls has been cut in two during
the last ten years. And, furthermore,
If these combinations could have their
way every drop of water which now
runs over the rocky precipice would
be diverted from it's natural course.
Both the United States and Canadian
governments made a great mistake in
granting these corporations franchises
in the first place, but this is no reason
why laws should not be enacted pro-
hibiting further marring of the falls

John D. Rockefeller has conceived
the idea of converting Michigan
wilderness on Portage lake into a
summer recreation ground for bows
where they will be taught hunting,
trapping, woodcraft, swimming and
military tactics. Indians will be en-
ployed for the boys to go against in
combat and stage coaches will be pro-
vided for them to save from attacks
by bandits. This will be healthful rec.
reation for the boys and doubtless a
source of much amusement for Mr..
Rockefeller, who expects to OCCASION
ally accompany the youngsters on
their Indian expeditions. John will
throw mighty scare into the Indians,
however, when they subject him to the
scalping process.

Rev. Mr.. Balmer, pastor of the
Arnold M. E. church of Detroit,
Mich, thinks that the rules of the de-
nomination are too hard shelled. He
suggests that "the church rescind it's
penal regulations on amusements
which have become dead letter and
take down the bars for conscientious
persons who see no wrong in some of
the things prescribed, and it will be
no trouble to fill up the churches. -
This looks like a good suggestion,
for surely there can be no harm in
such diversion as occasional dane
ing, occasional card playing, or
occasional fishing on Sundays. AT
the same time the Rev. Balmer had
better be careful lest he dash his foot
against stone and be tried for
heresy.

1t is nice for state officials to dwell
together in peace and harmony. The
Anoka Free Press hazards the opinion
that, in view of the harmonious rela-
lions that have existed between
Governor Johnson and ATTORNEY
General Young the latter's recent
announcement of his candidacy for
the governorship is taken to mean
that the governor will not become a.
candidate for reelection. IN
doubtedly Mr.. Young would be just
as acceptable to the Interests" as
Governor johnson was, and if Mr..
Young is the republican nominee prob
ably Governor johnson would refuse
to accept third term nomination.
But then there are a whole lot of
people who may not approve of this
amicable arrangement. That fellow
Jacobson is liable to butt in and upset
the plans of the 'interests. Some
people have more faith in jacobson
than either Mr.. Young or Mr.. John
son. The people may be fooled once
in while but they cannot be fooled
all the time.

MAGIC MIRRORS.
Peculiar Effects In Some Of the Pol

Peculiar Effects In Some of the Pol
ished Bronze Refleetors.
Now and then mirrors of a curious
kind are seen in Europe. They are
called 'magic mirrors" and are of Jap
anese origin, made not Of glass silver
ed, but Of cast bronze, polished on the
face and bearing on the back raised
patterns, inscriptions, symbolical de-
signs, crests or pictures. When eX-
posed to bright beam of light from
the sun or from an electric lamp they
reflect in the light from their polished
face the image of the pattern on their
backs.
This is purely optical property and
has Of course nothing in common with
the fortune telling magic crystals Of
the astrologer or the alleged magic
mirrors Of necromancy, yet it long puz-
Zled the scientific optician and even
now is little known or believed. The
researches Of various scientific men
have established the fact that the phe-
nomenon is due to very minute differ
ences Of curvature in the polished face,
differences SO minute that they do not
affect the ordinary use of the mirror
as looking glass and that can be de-
tected only by delicate optical tests.
The only remaining mystery has
been as to how these delicate differ
ences Of curvature were produced in
exact correspondence to the pattern on
the back. The makers themselves are
often in ignorance of the magic prop
erty and do not know which Of their
mirrors possess it and which do not
The mirrors are cast in molds and aft
erward polished by hand, and it is
held by scientific men that the differ
ence of curvature is caused by the met
ais yielding unequally under that pres
sure Of the tools used in scraping and
polishing, the thin parts naturally
bending more than the thick. This ac-
counts for the mirrors becoming
magic.-Chicago News.

1t appears that an effort is still be-
ing put forth by the society known as
the Daughters of the Confederacy to
obtain funds wherewith to erect a
monument to Wirz, the notorious and
infamous keeper of Andersonville
prison. A monument to- this villain
would not only be idisgrace' to the
United States but anjginsult to every
old soldier in the country, and it's
erection should be forbidden. G. H.
Mitchell, city treasurer of Fargo and
a veteran of the Civil war is so en-
ragged over the proposition that he
has offered to give $4,000 and two
quarts of his blood the day the mon
ument is erected to see the "damna-
BILE thing blown to hades." Mr..
Mitchell says that "none of the old
confederate soldiers will approve OF
such an insult to US old fellows, who
spent months in southern prisons, but

have come on earth since the war and
know not what they do"

There are but few countries which
would pay ransom of 100000 for
the release of one of it's subjects, as
did Great Britain to gain the freedom
of Kaid Sir Harry MacLean from the
clutches of the bandit Raisu]i. Where
the British government showed it's
weakness and lack of diplomacy, how
ever, was in guaranteeing protection
and immunity from arrest to the
rascally brigand. After MacLean has
been delivered troops should have
been dispatched to Raisuli's strong
hold and both he and his band of
assassins put to the sword. The idea
of granting protection and immunity
to bandit is preposterous.

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY FEBRUARY IS, 1905

A messenger boy in Minneapolis
conceived get-rich-quick scheme of
his own. He wrote a number of mes
sages telling of deaths, railroad &C
cidents and other things and delivered
them at the houses of various persons
whom he knew. At the bottom of
each message he inscribed: "Please
pay the messenger fifteen CENTS" and
of course he got the money. They
raise some particularly bright boys

One of the conditions upon which
the countess of Yarmouth obtained
freedom from her dissi pated husband
was the settlement upon him of half
her income, or $40, 900 year, so long
as he lives. If American heiresses
will make such fools of themselves as
to marry degenerate, libidinous
foreigners they are deserving of not
one iota of sympathy even though
they lose their fortunes and are horse
whipped by their husbands besides.

It appears from the evidence adduced
in a recent case that Good Templar
society in Minneapolis issues to some
OF it's members permits to drink
liquor. This is of course done that
these men may go forth and secure
evidence that liquor is being sold
illegally. AS scheme for detection
the idea is perhaps all right, but the
danger seems to lie in the temptation
set before the liquor tasters to acquire
the habit and permanently adhere to
