Have the maple worms departed Who has seen one this summer The farmers long ago ceased to be jubilant over three-inch rains.

It would be nice to have somebody new to talk about besides Jerry Simpson. A campaign of silence may win against the alliance, but it is very weak ammunition. Tennesseeans have found out that the best place for convicts is in a penitentiary. The hyenas who have been trying to howl Blaine into his grave have been choked into silence. Emperor William has sprained his ankle.

It is too bad it was not his foolish wagging tongue. Kansas City, Kansas is to have an opera house. Kansas City, Missouri's big overflow may yet become a city. Chicago people are beginning to hear from all their relatives, far and near, since the world's fair is approacning. Governor Boies is advancing to battle, waving the whisky bottle.

But the people will cork his bottle, and cork his boom also. Jerry Simpson is a more popular man in Georgia to-day than Jeff Davis was; probably because he has done more harm to the republican party. Four men hung a negro in Kentucky a day or two ago. There ought to be some place to draw the line between a lynching and a murder. Mrs.

Grover Cleveland will never cease making speeches. all appear to be hand-made, warranted not to rip or do any damage, whatsoever. Progressive hammocks is a new game in Missouri. A progressive father with a shot gun ought to put an end to the game as soon as it begins. Dr.

Ray said in his sermon yesterday that it was nonsense to pray for temporal blessings; still a man is pretty safe in praying for rain, these days. Now that we have discovered that corn can be raised without a temperature of 100 in the shade, we will never patiently put up with that kind of weather, again. The czar lunched on the French fleet Saturday and was not afraid that pomme de terre or something else on the table might explode and blow him into eternity. The Kansas City Times has. seriously slandered the farmers' It says its members in Kansas "are democrats of the true Jeffersonian stripe, whatever they call themselves." Now they say that Senator Quay stole all the money that Anna Dickinson was to have had for her speeches in the Har rison campaign and then started the story that she was crazy.

European kings and kinglets are busy visiting each other. Their visiting days are likely to soon be over. Kings are getting to be very common in the opinion of their over-taxed subjects. People who go to summer resorts to escape the hot weather here, are wasting money. Still it would be dreadful not to be able to say you had not been anywhere, if its only to visit your relatives at Tecumseh or Pauline.

Young Wilhelm of Germany, has added another to his many follies by falling in love with a Miss Green of New York, whom he saw in an opera box in London. To the credit of the American girl, it is said that she does not reciprocate his regard.

STATE A. Carious Case in Which the Order I Involved in Ohio Notes. A case that has excited considerable interest among members of the order was that of Henry Stueve against the grand lodge of Ohio.

The suit was to enjoin the making of the state of Ohio into two dis-' tricts, Hamilton county being one and the remainder of the state the other. The as-, sessment for death benefits was $07 a year in Hamilton county, while in the remainder of the state it is but 128. The increase in Hamilton county was due to the greater death rate. Mr. Stueve and others sued to enjoin that discrimination against if embers residing in Hamilton county.

The common pleas court granted a perpetual injunction, but the circuit court reversed the common pleas, refusing the injunction. Judge Cox dissented from the majority opinion. Orient lodge, of New York, has formed a funeral relief association, for immediate aid to a deceased member's family or to a brother whose wife dies. Membership fee is $1.15, assessments $1.05 fractions being used for contingent expenses. The Wisconsin grand recorder's report showed 126 lodges, 6,736 members and 6 Degree of Honor lodges.

P. Veasy, vice president of the Workman's Guarantee Fund association, San Francisco, died recently. In May 65 certificates were issued, 8 reinstated, 13 suspended, 2 withdrew, 2 died net gain, 46. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Encouraztng News of the Order ia CanadaSpear Points.

The report of the grand keeper of records and seals, at the recent session of the grand lodge of Ontario, stated that the endowment rank of the whole order had nearly 25,000 members with $35,000,000 endowment in force, and $100,000 cash surplus. The finances of the grand lodge of Ontario showed receipts of $2,673.05 and expenditure of $2,476.57, a balance of $196.48. Throughout the province there were 1,096 Pythians up to Dec. 31. The receipts of subordinate lodges aggregated $10,506.36 and the expenditures $9,351.04.

This shows an increase of $1,030.78 in receipts and a decrease of $560.34 in disbursements over last year. There are 73 lodges in Maine, with 7,907 members, a gain for 1890 of 424. The Indiana Grand Temple of Pythian Sisters met at Indianapolis recently. The grand chief, Mrs. Alice Gilman, reports the organization of 17 new temples during the past year, making in all 46 temples in the state.

The report of the supreme lodge officers, Jan. 1, 1891, shows a total membership in the subordinate lodges of 307,000 and 35,000 members of the uniform rank-According to The Mystic Tie of New Orleans, the lodges of the Crescent City must all be doing some work, as pretty much eVery lodge in the city is mentioned as conferring one or more of the several ranks.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR. The Order Steadily Gaining in Sonth Carolina Brevities. The grand lodge of South Carolina met in the city of Columbia recently. Representatives were present from fifty-four of the sixty-one lodges in the jurisdiction. The reports of the grand officers show the finances to be in good condition, and what was better, that the order is growing in South Carolina, the net numerical gain during the year being 273.

The membership April 1 was 3,143. Actiye measures were projected for a still larger growth the coming year. Six cash prizes are offered to lodges showing greatest numerical increase up to April 1, 1892. The per capita tax was fixed at one dollar for the coming year, each lodge being allowed fifty cents on each member initiated during its own time. The following table shows the death rate for the whole order during the past five years: Member- Rate per ship.

Deaths. 1,000. 1886....... ........125,128 1,523 12.2 1887 123,093 1,585 12.9 1888.... .125,514 1,699 13.5 1889 130,867 1,689 12.9, 1890..

133,526 1,965 14.7 It will be seen from the foregoing table that while 266 more deaths occurred during 1890 than in any preceding year, still the death ratek was, only 1.02 per cent, in excess of 18S8, the highest of any previous year. Bro. Bellamy, of North Carolina, was unanimously elected supreme vice dictator by the supreme lodge. He is one of the most careful and conservative members of the supreme lodge. The Old North State should show its appreciation of the honor during the coming year.

The United Order of the Golden Cross. This order was founded by Dr. Morgan in 1875 in Knoxville, and has now over 18,000 members. It is a secret fraternal order, something on the plan of the Knights of Pythias or Knights of Honor, with this difference that each member is required to totally abstain from intoxicating liquor. The order is coming into; prominence in this section of the country.

Maine and Massachusetts have about 5,000 members each, and the growth in the whold country is about 400 per month. The 'order is a valuable adjunct to the cause of temperance, and gives its members a safe life insurance at lower rates than organizations where other than total abstainers are admitted. The ritual of the order is largely taken from the Bible. I people's Jive Year Benefit Order, There have been 3,144 sick claims, amounting to $164,092.52, paid since the or. ganization.

New, councilsaye i been instituted in tohio, Massachusetts and North Carolina FIRST IN- LAW, IN MEDICINE AND IN SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP A XeSl Valedictorian Who Does Not Intend to Practice Dr. Grace Ritchie's Attainment Record of Two Bright Girls at Oxford.

This is a record making ago for wom an. 'All sorts' of bright and beautiful girls are coming to the front and demonstrating their right, to. existence on other grounds than those of social accomplishments or domestic ability. They have not ceased to shine in society or to queen it over the home, but they have widened the horizon of their activities and are now recognized authorities on important subjects outside those once classed as distinctively belonging to woman's domain. "Pretty, piquant and lovable" are the complimentary terms applied to the valedictorian of the first woman's law class in the world.

She recently received her degree from the University of New York, and in connection with her companions was highly MISS RITCHIE. compliment by Judge Noah Davis, who declared that he. had never examined a class that gave such A ready answers, i SUTRO. MRS. and that he learned more law at the graduating exercises than if he had Btaid in his office a year.

Evidently the knightly courtesy for which Judge Davis has long been distinguished suffers nothing from the lapse of years. His words of praise, however, are less re markable than the announcement of the fair valedictorian that, having won all the glory of an exacting course, she doesn't intend to practice! She is the wife of Mr. Theodore Sutro, a young attorney of New York city, and that her honeymoon has not ended after five years of matrimony is evidenced by her recent utterances. Said she the other day: "I never intend or want to be a I desire to be familiar with that which means so much to my husband, that1 1 may be able to converse with him and his friends intelligently. I know I am better fitted for the duties of a wife for having studied law and trained somewhat my intellectual faculties.

Our union is a partnership, and it seems as if companionship was the real basis of a happy marriage." D. C. otherwise "doctor of medicine and master of surgery," is the title recently won by Miss Octavia Grace Ritchie at Bishop's college, Mon-treaL Miss Ritchie is the first woman in the province to attain this distinction. She is the youngest daughter of the late Thomas W. Ritchie, Q.

and her school career from girlhood up has been a brilliant one. In 1884 she took a university certificate of associate in arts. Two years later she was the valedictorian for the first class of lady graduates at Mc- MISS POLLARD. Gill university, and secured special praise for her attainments in natural science. Then she "went in" for medicine, and having learned all that the ex cellent Dominion 11183 Kikkaldy.

Pollard, who have just passed with high honors the Final School of Natural History at Oxford, and are the first at that famous English seat of learning to make a special 6tudy of animal morphology.

Each has also passed the rigorous university examinations in chemistry, mechanics and physics, botany and physiology. Fred C. Dayton. Weight and Measure Standards Entombed. The speaker of the English house of commons will be called on next fall to perform a singular duty which is imposed by statute.

This is the examination ji the British yard measure and pound weight, which, for security, are built into the wall at the side of the central staircase in the palace of Westminster. When the old legislative palace was destroyed by fire the former standards perished, and a royal com-, mission sat to consider how the new standards should be preserved. It was decided that they should be buried in the wall within a fireproof safe, or rather coffin. But the law provides that once in twenty years this coffin must be opened and its contents officially inspected, lest they might have been tampered with or still more terrible to contemplate removed. The time for this periodical exhumation of the standards arrives in two or three months, A Crusader's Memory Honored.
