WELCOME PYTHIANS.


main of North Carolina is now in
session here. tits composed of
the flower of the States citizen
ship and Hendersonyille feels
a pride in acting as host upon an
occasion so suspicious. On be-
half of the city The Hustler ex-
tends a most cordial welcome to
the many representatives Of this
great fraternal order and wishes
them every joy during their so
journ in the Gem City" of the
hills. This Order is accomplish
ing gratifying results in it's eff
fort for the uplift of the race and
is one the most beneficial of the
fraternal organizations. 1t is.
indeed, "a luminous organization
for the teaching of Christian
principles and American patriot
ism, and for the amelioration of
the troubles of mankind. Hen
Jacksonville greets the hundreds
of Pythians now, in our midst
heartily and offers a pressing in
vitation to come again whenever
they can.
Two years ago this great "bro-
therhood of man" held it's annual
meeting in the delightful and
thriving town of Elizabeth City
on the Atlantic coast; last June
the annual gathering was in the
beautiful and interesting city of
Raleigh in central Carolina, and
it is fitting to come across the
Ridge" this year and accept
the hospitality of the good peo-
pie Of the most attractive and
progressive city in the Land of
the Sky" And ''the boys" are
here from every section of every
county in the Old North State to
report progress in the past year
in the hundreds of subordinate
lodges throughout North Caro-
lima. To one and all we extend
the glad hand and feel assured
that our distinguished visitors
will not regret their selection of
beautiful Hendersonville as the
place of meeting this year. The
doors of our city swing inward,
gentlemen. Take the town. And
may your sojourn among us be
as pleasant and profitable to you
5as it is gratifying for our people
to have you.
It is especially pleasing to meet
and greet the visitors from the
central and eastern sections of
the State. Doubtless a number
of them have never visited the
mountains before and many of
5them may not have experienced
the pleasure of gazing upon the
F.. majestic peaks of this fair and
fowery land. To these we have
to say, asYoft repeated kbefore:
you are now where the God of
Nature comes close to you, and
pure breath, fresh fromIthe pools
of Heaven relieves the depressed;
where parched palates are cooled
with crystal waters bubbling
from the never falling mountain
springs that drift into diamond
pendants as they leap from their
picturesque homes and hurry on
toward the Father of Waters.
These meetings are always re.
plete with interesting discussions
to the members of the Order, but
it is hoped that the delegates may
find time to get acquainted with
-as many of our people as posi-

Sold Three Trainloads Of Wool.

BILLINGS, June ii The immense
wool clips belonging TO Charles M.
Bair and Rea Bros. were sold by
them last night to a representative OF
a Boston firm, at a price not made
public, but which is said to have been
a fraction under "a cents. The clip
amounted to approximately $500, OO0
pounds and is the largest individual
yielding in the world. At an average
OF 10000 pounds to the car, the amount
usually loaded when wool is not
baled, it will require about 12O freight
cars to transport this great clip to the
eastern market. which means three
trains of more than forty cars each.
There is always a strenuous effort
on the part Of buyers to secure the
Bair clip both on account of it's quail
ity and its size. Generally Mr.. Bair
has been among the first of the grow
ers to dispose OF his clip, but this
year his ts among the last to be sold.
Shearing of this clip is now in pro-
gress At the Keiser pens and it will
require several weeks to complete the
work.

ST. CHARLES. Mo. June 1.-Two full
grown lions. running through the streets
OF st. Charles, scattered a carnival crowd
in terror and emptied the big car shops
before they were driven 10 bay in the
shop yards. Showmen captured the lions
an hour after their escape, after one Of
them had fatally bitten a pony and the
other attacked an elephant.
More than 2,0p3 women and children
were on the streets. Suddenly there was
a cry: The lions,' Men, women and
children turned and fed none stopping 8
long enough TO see that the lions were
not coming toward them, but had taken
the other direction.
a few persons were in the lions path
and these ran teryorstricken into houses
and stores In five minutes the streets
were deserted and everybody was behind
locked doors.
In the shop yards came long combat
of wit against the lions. and the show
men had il all TO themselves. The man
made repeated attempts TO catch the lions

Seamanship building, but better care

Seamanship building, but better care
should be taken of them. and they should
be mounted where they can be seen by
the public as we'll as by the midship-
men. An appropriation from Congress
will be necessary for that purpose.
The Naval Academy has a fine col
lection of oil paintings and portraits,
which are scattered through the build
ngs. but should be placed in a separate
gallery. Many of them were brought
years ago from the New York Lyceum,
where the officers Of the navy used To
deposit their historic relics and trophies
for preservation in early times. Among
! the paintings are a series of six by
Thomas Birch. a reputable artist of the
early part of the nineteenth century,
representing the action between the Con-
sttution and the Guerriere. which l have
described above. Mr. Pinch. another
well known artist of that period, painted
picture representing the chase of the
Constitution off the New Jersey coast in
1872. There is another picture, rep
resenting the action between the Wasp
and the Frolic; there are portraits of
Commodore Decatur, Capt. Charles Stew

Sully; there is a copy of the original
portrait of Washington, by Stuart, in the

phies. And i may be t-uthfully said
that there Is only one war trophy cap

Waldorf Astor in England year or sc
ago and presented to the British Nava
Institute. 1t was expected that he wculc
be patriotic enough to return il to the
navy Of his native country. but he tried
to increase his popularity among the
British people by turning it over to thei,
navy. His act was condemned by the
British newspapers ard the British pub.
lie. and especially by the officers of the
British navy. who were frank enough to
say that if Mr.. Astor had returned the
flag to the navy of the United States he
would have been entitled to great credit
for his patriotism. but that the course
he adopted could only be regarded with
cont empt.
When the Chesapeake struck. after the
heroic death of Capt. Lawrence. outside
of Boston bay, Capt. Drake of the Shan
non ordered an ensign under his com
mand to haul down the flag. BY some
means or other that ensign kept il in his
possession. and il was in his family until
his grandson died two or three years age
and his effects were sold at auction to
settle the estate.
Captured Guns.
There are large number of captured
guns at Annapolis, but very little IS
known about some of them. Several date
back to the revolutionary war; others
are believed to have been brought owe,
by Lafayette from France; some were
captured from Mexico and sent home by
Gen. Scott; several were taken from the
Mexicans in California, and the latter are
extremely interesting. as most of them
bear inscriptions and designs. Several
were taken from the ships of Admiral
Cervera's fleet at Santiago. and others
from the Spanish fleet in Manila. There
are Chinese and Korean guns. and four
small makeshift cannon captured from
the Filipino Insurgents. One of them is
Of wood covered by caribou hide. and
others are of iron covered with wood.
They were presented TO Admiral Dewey
by the Archbishop CT Manila.
Among the Mexican guns is one of
bronze, cast lin Spain in 1i14. carried
across the Atlantic by Cortez and used
by him in the conquest Of Mexico.
