With the decision that the per cap

Raleigh next year.
The Grand Lodge voted to leave
the education of the orphans to the

own, the building that was partially
burned last January to be repaired
for this purpose. Meanwhile a suit

TO GROW EGYPTIAN COTTON.
900, 900 Acres In Colorado River Re.
giOu VIII Soon Be Under Ditch.

Washington Dispatch to New York Sum-
That the requirements of the cot
ton goods industry necessitates the
Importation OF approximately co.
100000 pounds OF Egyptian cotton,
costing $ 900, 900, is probably un-
known to the majority OF readers
who read of the enormous crops OF
cotton produced in our Southern
States and learn that during the
last seven months all records have
been broken and practically $780,
100000 worth of that staple has
been exported.
But it was the considerable value
of this import that induced the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture several years ago to endeav-
or to develop Egyptian cotton cul-
ture in the United States, in order to
supply our own market with home
made product.
Although experiments were made
at different points from South Caro-,
lima to Texas, as we'll as in western
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and
Southern California, it was only in
the Colorado river region that eli
matte and other conditions similar
to those in the Nile valley and suited
to the long staple Egyptian cottor
were found. There 100000 acres o
excellent land are soon to be unde
ditch in the Imperial Yuma, Salt ant
GiIa valleys, end one-fifth of thi
acreage could produce the amount O
Egyptian cotton annually imported
.. for the use of New England mills.

BRIDES TAKE WASHINGTON.
Throng of Newly Weds Flock to the
Capital City.
Washington Cor. New York World.)

Washington COr. New 1ork orld.)
The National Capital has grace
fully capitulated to Cupid and his CO.
horts. The annual influx OF brides
and bridegrooms is in full blast. The
public buildings and their environs,
usually crowded with long lines of
staid sightseers, have only a few visi-
tors, and these seem to goin couples.
They gaze into each others eyes and
paw little heed to the historical OBJ
jects about them.
Potomac Park, the Mall, and Rock
Creek Park are filled these spring
days with long strings Of two-seated
vehicles Larger vehicles and "carry-
alls" have given way to the low
neck hack and the twO-seated ma
chimes.
From the East and the West each
train brings its quota of couples.
New Englanders stop enroute to the
South and Hot Springs, and South
erners look in at the seat OF legisla-
tion while going toward the New
England cities.
So great has been the influx this
year that Rev. z. Copp, pastor OF
Bethany Chapel, told his congrega-
tion today:
"A great and dangerous germ, on
which the skill of the surgeon or
/ the physician has no effect, has our

it's work. In the streets and in tn,

he continued, throwing up his hands
"and what can we do about it, W.
