SIGNED BY EVERY MEMBER
Constitution Book OF Tannlany So
ciety, 1922 Years Old, Is Great
Autograph Album.

In the possession of the Tammany
Society, or Columbian Order, to give
the full title Of the organization, is a
book now 122 years old. The auto
graph of every person who has joined
the society since 1t was founded on
May 10, 1889, can be found in this
book. which Is probably the largest
collection of autographs in this city.
1t is called the Constitution Book,
because on it's first pages, written out
in faded ink, is the constitution drawn
up by William Mooney, the founder
OF the society and it's first grand
sachem, at the original meeting held
at Bardens old tavern in lower Broad
way. 1t was ordered by Mooney at
that meeting that every member upon
joining should repeat this constitution
and then affix his name to it. The
constitution contains among other
things the pledge that the person
signing shall sustain the state insti-
tutions and resist a consolidation Of
power In the central government
The first signature on the long list
"AiSh Aoiio"o thc Ill lHo
old book is that of Mooney. Original
ly the book was a small volume. but
in the century and a quarter that has
passed new pages have been added I'M
til now 1t is book of over 600 pages
The original covers have been kept,
and the first part of the book is made
up of pages now yellow with age and
upon which the ink is fast fading
The autographs of many famous
men follow that of William Mooney
on these pages. At the annual meet
Ing on the society's anniversary, the
book is taken out, and it plays a part
In the ceremonies. particularly if new
members are to be admitted to the So
ciety, which in a way is kept separate
and distinct from the political organi-
cation.
OF the early records of the Tam
many Society the Constitution Book
alone survives, the others having been
destroyed in the several fires which
have visited the wigwam The Con-
stitution Book is now kept in a fire
proof safe and is only taken out on

IS MADE or RUsTLESs IRON
sisted Corrosion During a Period
of 1900 Years.

On the plains of Delhi in India there
sixty feet in length and weighing
about nineteen tons. This ancient
tcolumn is literally a monument to the
Anticipated" processes and metallun
gists that produced it, for it has re-
sisted the attack of the elements dur
ing period of about 1900 years in
which fully million times its bulk of
iron or steel has crumbled into useless
dust. No one would suggest that civil
liZed man return to the primitive and
laborious methods by which the iron
of this column was made so long ago,
and besides there are not men enough
living today to supply our present de-
mands, even If all of them should en-
gage in this type of manufacture. But.
granting that the world would pay for
limited amount of iron as passive"
as this old Kutub pillarfi 1t is very
doubtful whether modern iron-workers
know how to make 1t. Probably this
specimen of unusual iron was the re-
suit OF accident rather than design,
as far as its resisting qualities are
concerned, and 1t stands today the sur
vival of the fittest, not so much be-
cause it was intended to be, as be-
cause it proved to be, the most last
ing. For 1t is not likely that a proc
ess known to give iron of this kind
would ever have been used so seldom,
since the importance of rust-resist-
ing iron and steel was as much appre-
ciated in those days as now. No
doubt all the older processes made
iron and steel which rusted less-yes,
and some Of it very much less-than
what is usually produced today, but
there Is a great difference between
this mere excellence and a resist
ance to corrosion during thirty cen
turtles such as this column shows

jenny Geddes.

OF th amoires that gather around
ST. Giles athedral, Edinburgh, none
is more cherished by the Scotsman
than the story of Jenny Geddes.
Charles l., determined to force epis-
copacy, commanded that on July %,
1887, the English church service
should be read in every parish church
in Scotland. On that Sunday great
crowd gathered in st. Giles, and when
Dean Hannay, in a surplice, began to
read the prayers such a commotion
ensued that his voice was drowned.
One voice, however, rose above the
din-Jenny Geddes. Out, Out" she
cried Does the false loon mean to
say his black mass at my lug?" And
Selling her stool she threw it at the
head of the astonished dean. There
followed such an uproar that the SER
vice had to be abandoned.
In modern and more peaceful times
his event. momentous In its outcome,
has been commemorated by two me-
mortal tablets in the cathedral One
is to Dean Hannay, the other, erected
by Lord President Inglis, is to the
memory of "a brave Scotswoman,
Janet Geddes, who on July %, 1887,
struck the first blow In the great
struggle for freedom of conscience,
which after a conflict of half cen,
fury, ended in the establishment of
civil and religious liberty"

EDITOR POUND EXPLAINS.

The Democrat made a serious error
recently in publishing that our
friend, Ben f. Smith of Plainview,
was the father of baby boy, because
the baby has not arrived yet. A lady
from Plainview visiting relatives in
Danville made the statement to the
wife of the editor in the presence of
two other ladies, and that is where
we obtained our information, but it
seems this lady was mistaken. We
feel we are due someone an apology
and hasten to make this correction.
We are now hiding out from the

HORSE INJURIES GIRL.

A seven-year-old daughter of H. B.
Hines, who runs a wagonyard on the
east side, was knocked down and
rendered unconscious by loose horse
early last night. The little girl was
passing an open gate at the wagon
yard just as the horse was running
out, and when the animal struck her
she was knocked distance of several
feet. DR.. J. S. Westerfeld, who was
called to attend her, does not think
her injuries will prove serious.

TO DAILY SUBSCRIBERS

The Log Cabin Democrat takes
pleasure in announcing that from
and after this date the city circula-
ton of the Daily Edition will be in
charge of j. F. Allinder, former
Conway young man who has recently
returned from stay of several
years in Missouri and Oklahoma. Mr..
Allinder has had considerable expe-
rlence in handling carrier routes in
Kansas City, and the duties of his
position here will not be entirely new
to him.
Mr.. Allinder viii have entire
of the distribution and collection of
all papers delivered by carrier in the
city. He will purchase the papers at
this office, employ carriers to deliver
them, will solicit new subscribers and
all subscriptions from and after July
l will be payable to him.
Besides arranging with him to de-
liver papers for which subscriptions
have been paid in advance, we have
also employed Mr.. Allinder to collect
and adjust all daily subscriptions due
prior to July l.. AS it has been i'm
possible for us to make regular col
lectlons during the past few moksV,
and as several different collectors
have been employed, there are doubt
less some errors in the accounts as
they appear on our books. These err
rors Mr.. Allinder is authorized to adj
just to the satisfaction of the SUBJ
scribers.
We believe under the new system,
the distribution of the papers will eb
done with greater regularity, the cir
culat.on of the paper increased and
the subscr bers given better satisfac-
ton.

GROWTH OF RURAL DELIVERY
Big Increase in Service Shown in
Annual Report.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Very consid.
cradle increase in the rural delivery
service is shown in the report of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
P. v. De Graw, made public today.
On June 80, 1911, service was in
operation on 41,656 routes served by
41,559 carriers at an annual cost of
$37, 100000. During the year 1911, COS
new routes were established and 81
were discontinued, making a net in
crease of SIT routes.
The total mileage of rural routes in
operation June 80, 1911, was LOOT, 772,
and the daily travel by carriers was
1,000,2T miles, the average mileage
per route being 24.19. Excluding the
cost of substitution and of toll and
ferry service, the average cost per
mile Travelled was $0.1l775. BY cur
tailments of 378 routes and other re-
adjustments which improved the serv-
ice there resulted an actual saving of
25,26S.Sl and a decrease of $50, SOS. so
in the annual rate of expenditure. Ex-
tensions of 524 existing routes and in
creases in frequency of service on 43
other routes from three to six times
a week were made at an annual cost
Of $14,097.80 and an increase of $751;
743.50 in the annual rate Of expendi-
lures.
OF the Also carriers in the rural
service during the year 222 we're dis
missed for cause, a decrease of 6
from the number dismissed during the
previous year.
The recent Increase of carriers sal
aries, says Mr.. De Graw, will increase
materially the efficiency of the serv-
ice, as the more capable carriers are
retaining their positions.
The report recommends the speedy
establishment Of parcel delivery along
rural delivery routes.
