MASONIC TEMPLE OPENED
Most Magnificent Cathedral in the
Country.

Most Magnificent Cathedral In the
Country.
Memphis, Tenn.-With fire, emblem of
truth, wisdom and knowledge; with wa
ter, emblem of purity and innocence;
with wine, emblem of social enjoyment,
and with salt, emblem of hospitality,
the Tennessee Scottish Rite Cathedral
of the Valley of Memphis was dedicated
Monday, amid all the pomp and stately
ceremonial that could be thrown around
this most pregnant incident in the career
of Scottish Rite Masonry in the South.
The highest officers in this august or
der conducted the services. They were
attended by knights and masters gath
cred from all parts of the South, who
are initiates in the highest mysteries of
Scottish Rite Masonry and who are of
the household of the Holy Empire, whose
mission on earth it is to dispel ignorance
and darkness and diffuse knowledge and
the principles of faith, hope, charity and
liberation among the peoples of the
earth.
The Scottish Rite Cathedral, the only
building of its kind in the South, and
ranking in this country next in impor-
lance to the temple of Sthe Supreme
Council at Washington, has been under
construction in this city for the past
eight months. Costing over $15O,OOO, it
was formally taken over by the Scottish
Rite Masons and was dedicated to the
uses and enjoyment of its founders.

SHIP GETS SENTENCE
q. g.. SUPREME COURT SENDS
TENNESSEE SHERIFF TO JAIL
Seizure to Prevent Lynching of Me-
gro Prisoner Who Had Appeal
Before Supreme Court.

Neutrality-suspicious. the first time in
American history, six men are in prison
for contempt of the supreme court of
the United States. For the first time,
too, the federal government has placed
men behind the bars as an outcome of
the lynching of a negro.
At the United States Jail in this city
Capt. Joseph F. Ship, former sheriff of
Chattanooga, Tenn; jeremiah Gibson,
his j%ailer, and Luther Williams, Nick
Nolan, Henry Padgett and William
Mayes of the same city, began Monday
afternoon to serve terms of imprison-
ment imposed a few hours before by the
supreme court of the United States.
Ship and Gibson had been found
guilty of failing to protect from a mob
Ed Johnson, whose legal execution for
criminal assault had been stayed by the
supreme court until that tribunal could
review the case. The others had been
found guilty of participation in the
lynching of a federal prisoner. Ship,
Williams and Nolan were given sentences
of ninety days imprisonment each, while
Gibson, Padgett and Mayes each re-
ceived sixty days.
AS the big barred doors of the Jail
swung open to receive the prisoners Mon
day afternoon, Immediately after SEN
tence had been imposed, Warden Mckee
stood before them.
A least, we are in the hands of a
soldier" exclaimed Capt. Ship, who had
been in many a fight for the Confeder-
acy, as he espied a G. A. r. button in
the lapel of Warden McKee's coat.
Then, turning to his five fellow pris-
Oners, he said:
Boys, it will be all right"
Warden Mckee has inaugurated meth
DDS of punishment at the Jail as human
tartan as the various class of prisoners
will allow, and he was prepared for the
reception of the six men from Tennessee.
Sitting on his straw bed, half recln-
ing o N his pillow of straw, Capt. Ship
made this statement:
w are very we'll pleased with the
treatment given us by Warden Mckee,
and are delighted with the quarters as
signed u.s."
A few hours in Jail made Gibson remi-
niscent. He told his companions that
this was not the first time he had been
in prison in Washington.
"But the other time I was brought
here as a Confederate prisoner" he said.

Cotton Rates Case.

Cotton Rates Case.
There was quite an attendance of rail-
road attorneys and traffic officials in
drawn there in connection with the in
junction proceedings brought by the Va
zoo L Mississippi Valley Railway Com
pany, the New Orleans Great Northern
and others to restrain the Mississippi
railroad commission from the enforce
ment of its newly accepted scale of
freight rates ON -uncompressed cotton
within the State. In it's very elaborate
bill the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley al
leges that the proposed rates on cotton
are illegal, discriminatory, unjust and
not unde on actual conditions, or at
the urgent solicitation of the general
body of the taxpayers, and would have
the court permanently enjoin and re-
strain the commission from enforcing
this alleged obnoxious rule. The an
swer insists and urges that the local cot
ton rate as liked by the complainant
companies in their exhibit, as filed with
the bill, is grossly excessive and dis
criminatory as against cotton, the prin-
cipal commodity of the State. A COM
parison is instituted between the car
riers' cotton scale and their rates on
other commodities, citing as an instance
that where the rate on a bale of cotton
for a distance of five miles is $14.25 per
100 pounds, the rate on a bale of cot
tonseed is only 5 cents, ON fertilizer 3
cents, and other commodities in proper

Noel Considering Reforms.

Gov. Noel has under consideration the
reforms in Mississippi's Jurisprudence as
recommended at the meeting of the Mis-

among these recommendations is that
which seeks to make pistol toting a fell
ony, and to prohibit the shipment or
sale of such weapons within the State.
This subject is certain to attract serious
attention among the lawmakers, in view
of the array of facts that will be sub
mitted showing that pistol toting in
Mississippi is most prolific source of
crime.

JACKSON
SHAFT GIVEN TO GOVERNMENT.
Gov. Noel Dedicates It-Blewett Lee
Accepts the Mississippi Memorial.

WV NOS ~~~
Accepts the Mississippi Memorial.
The new granite shaft in Vicksburg
National Park, erected by the State to
the memory of the soldiers of Mississippi
who served during the siege of Vicksburg
was dedicated by Gov. Noel and received
for the United States government by
Blewett Lee of Chicago, son of the late
Gen. Stephen D.. Lee, before a large
crowd at Vicksburg.
This event was the browning event of
the State reunion of Confederates, and
was participated in by the veterans,
Sons and Daughters of the C~Onfederacy
and the citizens in general.
The dedication address was made by
Gov. Noel. The governor reviewed the
work that has been don in the National
Park by the Federal government, the
States and the South in particular-not,
he said, in honor of victory or defeat,
but to commemorate the heroism of
American soldiers on both sides. The
Mississippi memorials are not to single
out any particular officer or soldier, or
ever to be connected with the military
operations rOund or during the siege of
V~icksburg, but to glorify and ~perpetuate
the courage, the self-sacriice, fortitude
and patriotism that animated our States
contribution to that heroic army that
sought to save Vicksburg for the South"
Blewett Lee, in the name of the secre-
tary of war, accepted the memorial for
the Federal government. The sight of
the son of Gen. Stephen d. Lee was a
signal for more cheering by the old vet
Grams, many of whom had served under
his father upon the field where they now
stood.
The speaker expressed regret that the
secretary of war had been unable to be
present and accept the gift of Missis-
sippi in person. He dwelt upon the fact
that the men who wore the blue and who
wore the gray were both Americans.
There is glory enough for both," he
said, and reverence for all; and no true
American will ever have any different
feelings for men who offered up their
lives for their convictions of duty"
