The exercises will be conducted by R. L. Tllton, of Iowa, and -nill consist of ad dresses and musical selections. The serv ices will be In memory of those members of the Supreme Lodge who have died dur ing the past year. The reports Irom the different jurisdictions show that only six past grand masters have died during the year. The jurisdiction of Arkansas and the jurisdiction of Manitoba and Northwest Territory filed notices with the supreme recorder, stating that they have won the $2000 offered for each Jurisdiction that Wakes a gain of 25 per cent in member ship during the year. These two juris dictions are the only ones that have made the gain of 25 per cent In membership. The election of officers and selection of a place of holding the next annual ses sion will probably not occur this week. Denver has extended an Invitation for tho Supreme Lodge to meet in that pity in 1903, and thus far this is the only invita tion filed. There has oeen some talk of Philadelphia seeking the honor of enter taining the Supreme Lodge next year. St. Louis, it is generally believed, will be the meeting place in 1904, when the Louis iana Purchase Exposition will be open in that city. The representatives of the A. O. TJ. W. In "Wyoming petitioned the Supreme Lodge to set apart Wyoming as a separate Juris diction. At present the lodges in that state are included in a Jurisdiction com posed of Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. No action has yet been taken on the petition. A special committee composed of A. P. Riddle, of Kansas: Will M. Narvis, of Iowa, and J. W. Yantis. of Illinois, was appointed to consider the proposition of providing for a $500 beneficiary certificate. At present the certificates are issued for $1000 and $2000. It has been represented to the Supreme Lodge by petitions that a $500 certificate -would be popular and would prove beneficial to tho order. The question of extending the list of hazardous risks came up at the last ses sion for consideration, and the matter was referred to a special committee. The committee reported yesterday that they deem it inadvisable to change the list of hazardous risks. Tho report has not been acted upon, but will be the subject of dis cussion later In the week. The afternoon yesterday was spent in committee work. Grand Slasters Organize. An Association of Grand 'Masters and Field Workers was organized yesterday afternoon, with W. M. Narvis, of Iowa, president, and Fred C. Wetmore, of Mich igan, secretary. About 20 grand masters and field workers were present at the meeting, Jheld in the Portland Hotel. The purpose of the organization is to formu late plans for more effective work in ad vancing the Interests of the A. O. TJ. W. so far -as concerns the duties of the offi cers mentioned. An informal discussion of methods of work was had, but no defi nite action was taken toward the adop tion of uniform methods. Several meet ings of the association will be held dur ing the session of the Supreme Lodge. Visited Local Lodge. Crescent Lodge, No. 10, A. O. TJ. W., of Alblna, held an open meeting Tuesday evening, at which a large crowd of Work men were present, A brief programme was rendered, and addresses were deliv ered by Past Grand Masters J, E. Wer ieln, of Oregon, and B. T. Rehkoph. of Iowa. Before dispersing, the visitors par took of a hearty lunch with their hosts. Supreme Overseer Hanged Chicago Anarchists. Supreme Overseer C. R. Matson, of Illi nois, w.as Sheriff pf Cook County in 1SSG, when the Haymarket riot took place. He officiated -at the hanging of four of tho anarchists, and carries in his vest pocket a splinter of steel from the bomb with which the fifth convicted assassin blew off his own head. THE DEGREE OF HONOR. Reports Heard From Several State Jurisdictions. The superior lodge. Degree of Honor, was in session nearly all day yesterday, but the business transacted was princi pally of a routine nature. Much time was consumed in hearing the reports of the several state jurisdictions. H. L. Cross, editor of the A. O. TJ. W. Guide, of Arkansas, was Introduced, and asked to address the lodge upon matters of gen eral Interest to the order.

VISITORS AT ENTERTAINMENT. Local Lodges of Degree of Honor Receive Delegates. At Arlon Hall last evening tho local lodges. Degree of Honor, gave an enter tainment which was enjoyed by a large crowd of members of tho A. O. TJ. W. and D. of H. The principal features of tho evening were an exhibition "drill by floor teams from Port Indus and Fidelity Lodges, D. of H., and a farce by mem bers of Evergreen Lodge. The drill was almost perfect in plan and execution and showed, in the beauty of easy move ment, the results of great persever ance In practice. The music for the march for Port Indus Lodge was com posed by A. D. Hansen, a member of the lodge. It was entitled "The Su preme," and was dedicated to the su preme lodge. The farce presented by Evergreen Lodge was an exceedingly humorous production and was heartily applauded. It was en titled "Mrs. Baxter's Baby." The cast of characters was as follows: Jack Dan rell James Dunning; Policeman 444 W. F. Barnes; Mrs. Butterby Mrs. E. C Keith; Miss Virginia Crabbe Mrs. May Cox; Phyllis Grey Miss Lulu Barnes. Tho players were drilled by Mrs. A. Barnes, chief of honor.

In a few im pressive words she presented Mrs. Man tor a large oleograph picture of the Three Sisters of the Cascade Range. Mrs. Mantor responded with expression of gratitude for the assurances of high regard from the members of Port Indus Lodge.

FINEST EVER HELD HERE ROSE SHOW WILL ECLIPSE ALL PREDECESSORS. Multnomah Field to Be Transformed Into a Garden of Eden Plans for the Parade. It has been so long since there has been an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the roses that are now blooming so pro fusely in Portland without wandering far and wide about the city, that the rose show to be riven on Multnomah Field, June 18 and 19, in sure to bo a success. The arrangements for the show are pro ceeding rapidly, and with much satisfac tion to those In charge. Not only will the collection of flowers be lareer and more varied than anythat has been made before, but there will be marly other at- DELEGATES LEAVING tractions. In fact, for tho two days of tho show, the field will be transformed into a veritable garden of Eden, where one may spend hours without exhausting half the beauty and pleasure that will be afforded him. The roses themselves will be In all their glory- This is the time of year when the blooms aro in their perfection, and the impetus given to the growing of fine roses in Portland in the last few years has given the Portland Rose Society, which will hold the show, all the city before them where to choose. There Is hardly a yard In Portland that does not boast of at least a dozen varieties of roses, and each grower has given his time and attention to some pet rose, so that the as sortment is sure to bo complete and the roses unusually fine. Each bloom will bo plainly marked with its name, so that the knowledge of the ilowocs among tho public may bo Increased, 'and one may choose from among a multitude of flowers the varieties he prefers to grow in his own yard. The roses will bo displayed in a large tent, about which "will cluster refreshment booths, all of which will be laden with floral decorations. Plenty of seats will be provided, and a better place to spend an evening than will be the field, when the show Is at its height, can hardly be imagined. Arrangements have ben made for music, and the society has many other plans for the entertainment of the patrons of the show, which are not yet fully for mulated. On one of the days of the show a rose parade is to be given. A large tallyho has been secured, which will be covered with roses. Traps, tho smartest to be found lmthe city, will follow, each bright with all the floral beauty that Is to be found, and, to bring the procession up to nate several automobiles will be featured. A band will supply music for the parade. .&?&-? .iL 1&&s.. v -i . - A. O. U. W. and will play on the grounds that even ing.

There Is an abundance of roses in Port land now, and the choicest varieties will be at their best when the show opens, so that there will be no difficulty In mak ing a display that will not only he finer than anything that has been seen in Port land, but will ellipse anything of the kind ever given on the Coast.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Wednesday, June 4. (Correspondence of the Associ ated Press.) General Matos has person ally taken command of the Venezuelan revolution and was on June 1 at TJrlca. 30 leagues distant from tarupano, marching toward Caracas with an army which some persons estimate at 5200 and others at 7500 men. To believe, however, that he will reach the capital and take possession of the Presidency without a deadly strug gle would be an illusion. General Castro Is preparing to offer resistance, -and hoped CONVENTION" HALL. to bar the invasion either In the plains of Carabobo or In the Valley of the Tuy. This is not the only direction In which the President's political horizon is men aced. Coero, Valencia and Barquisltmeto are all more or less In the power of the revolutionists. At Coro, Generals RIera and Solagnl have effected a Junction and are absolute masters of the environs. Rev olutionary troops enter the city of Valen cia every night as the town Is no longer lighted, give themselves up to all sorts of reprisals. Even La Girayra, the port of Caracas, Is attacked nightly by armed bands, who, on the night of May 27, k.ied the military chief of Malquetla before his own door. President Castro's present conduct leads to the belief that before hl3 departure he vlll indulge In all sorts of extra arbitrary acts. He has lately suppressed the news papers El Tlempo and La LInterna. arrest ed the manager of the Bank of Caracas, Mr. Castillo; imposed on the widow of the late Guzman Blanco a forced war con tribution of one minion, and has arrested the President of Congress, General Tosta Garcia, and the president of the Soclete Francalse. M. de Vldalc RIgo, a highly re spected man, on very slight supposition. He also caused his faithful officer General Davlla, th'e vanquisher of El Mocho, to be arrested after a very violent scene at the Palace of Mlraflores, during which Davlla reproached him with his ingratitude. Everybody Is expecting the imposition of a forced war contribution. Business Is paralysed and the banks arc without specie. The Bank of Caracas, the capital of which is 6,000.000 bolivars (a bolivar 13 equivalent to about 20 cents), has only 126, 000 bolivars In Its coffers, that is to say, about 3,000. Whatever may be the result of the rev olution.

MIDDLE AGES NOT DARK HENRY AUSTIN ADAMS REFUTES THIS CONCEPTION. In That Period, He Says, Europe Made - Its Greatest Achievements in Art, Philosophy and Literature. For the second time in Portland, Henry Austin Adams, of New York, was greet ed by a large audience at the Baker The ater last night. His lecture was on "The Middle Ages," and as on the previous night the audience was very appreciative. Mr. Adams' lecture was in part as fol lows: "There are two views of life equally fa tal and pernicious, which attract certain kinds of minds; one is the sin of those who sigh for the 'good old' days of a time long past, and the other 13 the sin of those who yearn for some Utopia which the unknown tomorrows are going to bring about. The sane and Christian temper is that which glories In believing that God was 'right in giving us today, and that as far as we are concerned this is the time of all times and we. In a very sublime sense, are the people." The speaker emphatically urged his hearers to believe that he was a man of here and now, an American of the Amer icans, an optimist, and an enthusiastic believer in the progress of society toward ever higher planes of thought and life. But this must not be suffered to prevent our studying the glorious ages of the past In the spirit of reverent fairness. "The whole subject of the Middle Ages." said Mr. Adams, "has been outrageously maltreated by that gang of conspirators against the truth whom we call the stand ard historians. According to these gen try we are asked to believe that until by a miraculous co-operation of divine Prov idence with a libertine monk, Martin Luther, and an unspeakable moral mon- ! ster, Henry VIII, had rescued tho world I from tho darkness Into which the Catho j lie church had dragged It, there was a I period covering many centuries during ' wliich the light of reason, education and J morality had beezv totally extinguished. With a supercilious sneer our little half baked college professors brush the mag nificent times of Europe'-s most tremen dous achievements In the domains of art, philosophy and literature to one side, and then dilate upon the splendora of our 'Anglo-Saxon civilization. "But the real scholarship of Europe to day (freed by the agnostic and scientific spirit from tho stupidity -and dishonesty of the old-fashioned Protestant histor ians), is rapidly demolishing tho wholo fabric of popular misconception concern ing the Middle Ages." Tho speaker then proceeded to discuss tho life of those old times. He maintained that they were ages of high ideals and superb creative energy, for the reason that belief In a supernatural religion was universal and ardent. Theologians had not emasculated God Into a metaphysical formula to be sentimentally patronized on Sunday mornings by conceited Jacks-In-a-box who "know It all." But the incar nation was the central and vivifying fact around which the life of men revplved In conscious and lofty power. And the re sult was the spires of Cologne, the pages of Dante, the Madonnas of Raphael, the metal miracles of Benvenuto Cellini, the Summa of Aquinas, the discovery of America. Mr. Adams referred to the sol idity of the work in the Middle Ages, and to the fact that even in the domain of political economy we must go back to them for tho first principles of our pres ent glorious liberties. '"Magna Charta," ho said, "was written by Catholic priests: trial by Jury, habeas corpus, the right of commons, and almost all the rights and privileges that we now havo were wrung from the hands of tyrants by the church." A humorous description followed pf thq romantic aspects of life In the old days, but it was evident that at heart Mr. Ad ams is a lover of the chivalry and Ideal ism of the ages of knights and ladies fair. The audience was asked to reread tho history of mediaeval times under tho newer light of the great body of learned scholars who are completely revolution izing opinion on the subject. In concluding, Mr. Adams reminded his hearers that, after all. "the Individual withers but the world Is more and more," and that the call for crusaders Is as loud today as when Peter the Hermit aroused all Europe on the field of Cleremont, and that he who will may find at hand the opportunity and Inspiration for deeds as high and aspirations as lofty as those" of the most glorious days of old.

The "Fears" of the Great Northern Railway Magnate. The article that follows was written by S. A. Glbbs, of Tacoma, for publication In the News or Ledger (Tacoma) or one of the Seattle papers. This article is in answer to an interview recently published in all of the Great Northern railway pa pers relative to the Nlcaraguan canaL In that interview Mr. Hill scored every one connected with that proposed enterprise, and had much to say relative to volcanic disturbances In Nicaragua jind surround ing country. The papers of Tacoma and Seattle refused to publish the article, the Tacoma News stating that It would only "mix the people up and they knew noth ing about the subject anyway." -Of course, the Hill Interests are making a very bit ter fight against any Isthmian Canal, and It is certainly true that the Panama scheme was brought up with the sole hope of killing off the Nlcaraguan enterprise. From the inception of the Panama scheme that scheme has never been used In good faith for any purpose, down to the pres ent. A great contest is now going on for the purpose of defeating the best Interests of the Coast, and very unfair and un truthful methods are being made use of to that end. TACOMA, Wash., June 9, 1902. There was published lately an interview of the Minneapolis Journal with James J. Hill on the Isthmain Canal, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, etc, and Mr. Hill, In his usual way, attacking everything that is not or will not. In his mind, contribute to his coffers, assails water wajs in general, mentioning the Mississippi River, in par ticular. In connection with the Isthmus Canal. The money spent on the Missis sippi is a good investment for tho people. Even though the amount of business done 'thereon Is limited, the river Is there ready for business, therefore a constant check on railroad rates, and In this way the in vestment yields a handsome revenue to the public Between the Mississippi River and the Erie Canal Influence the railroad rate on export grain Is 16 cents per hundred weight from the Interior market to the seaboard. If these waterways were closed, the export grain rate would be about the same as the lumber rate, which Is 25 cents, or about 50 per cont more than the present export grain rate. Lumber and grain rates, as a rule, run close to gether, unless some special influence work in favor or against either. Lumber not moving by cargo from Chicago to the East, while grain is moved by cargo via the lakes and Erie Canal, therefore wat er competition on the latter makes the export rate IS cents from Chicago to the seaboard, while, through lack of water competition, the rail rate on lumber 13 25 cents. No wonder that Mr. Hill should attack waterways, as they are the only competition that causes the railroads any anxiety. Mr. Hill boasted of the 58 rate on rails that "he" was making to Japan via Puget Sound, and asked: "How far would $3 carry a ton of steel rails from the Penn sylvania rolling mills by way of the Isth mian canal? It would carry them as far as San Francisco, probably." As a matter of fact, the ?8 rate is made by steamship via Suej: Canal (a water way), and Mr. Hill, Instead of making the ?8 rate, simply accepts it. In order to get some, of the business; and in so far as ha Is concerned, it is all the traffic will stand. He is not making the rate on ac count of his great love for the Japs or for the people on Puget Sound, but rather that he wants some of the business. ' About the same rate ($8) Is made on other Iron products from Pennsylvania points to Japan, and he is" hauling some of the business via Puget Sound, still he Is charging $15 per ton on the samo class of goods from Pittsburg to Puget Sound; that is, he Is hauling via rail to Puget Sound, thence via steamship to Japan, a distance of 4259 miles beyond Puget Sound (in competition with the Suez Canal route), and makes Japan delivery about 45 per cent less than he will make Puget Sound delivery. And Mr. Hill knows that, with the isthmian canal, he will be obliged to make rates to Puget Sound less than Japan on this class of goods; that is, if ho wants the business. From Pittsburg to Japan, via New York and tho Suez Canal, the water dis tance 13 13,300 miles, while from Pittsburg to Japan, via New York and the Isthmian canal, the water distance would be 9600 miles. Now the question is: If tho through rato Pittsburg to Japan, via New York and the Suez Canal, with a water distance of 13,300 miles, is 58 per ton, what would the rate be via the Isthmian canal with a water distance of only 9600 miles? Mr. Hill, please put that question to your G. N. Kindergarten. Evidently, when Interviewed by the Minneapolis Journal, he had the Impression that since he considered San Francisco had ceased to be the gateway to tho Orient and China (men) was excluded coming to San Francisco, things had reversed and San Francisco hd gone to China; but San Francisco is still doing business at the old stand, and will bo only 5052 miles from New York "via the Isthmian canal, while tho $8 steel rail rate covers a water distance of 13,300 mlle3 via the Suez Canal. Possibly Mr. Hill's wish may have been father to his thought In this mat ter. It would not be right to suggest that he had any Idea of willfully pervert ing facts. Of the ?8 rate, Pittsburg to Japan, as above, about 52 50 of the same is the rail road haul from Pittsburg to New York, leaving 55 50 as the steamship's portion, for 13,300 miles, from New York to Japan. If the water rate for 13,300 miles Is 55 50, what would the water rate be from New York to Puget Sound, a distance of 6000 miles, via the Isthmus Canal? Certainly not to exceed 54, as compared with the present 515 all-rail rate from East Coast to Puget Sound. Thlo Is only a saving of a little over 73 per cent. On shipments from Pittsburg, even after adding the 52 0 rail charge from Pittsburg to New York, to the $4 water portion from New York to Puget Sound, would make the through rate from Pittsburg to Puget Sound via the Isthmus Canal 56 30, or a saving of 56 per cent as compared with present all-rail rates from Pittsburg. It Is the "eruption" In rates that Mr. Hill sees In the distance every time a Congressman says "Isthmus Canal," and it makes HIH quake, not the earthquake. Eruptions and earthquakes will not trou ble him, unless they stop the "flow" of shekels, not lava, into the "Merger's cof fer." Man never saw greater considera tion for the "people's" money, but Mr. Hill wants It to flow Into his rail "ways" Instead of Into Uncle Sam's water "ways." To the average reader, at first thought, the 55 50 water portion or rate from New York to Japan may seem low, the distance being 13,300 miles, but when the wheat rate from Puget Sound to England via Cape Horn, which Is about 25 shillings per long ton of 2240. Is taken Into consideration. It makes the thing look different. Twenty flve shillings per long ton Is about $3 35 per short ton of 2000, or 15 cents per ton less than the 53 50 rate on iron products, and the distance from Puget Sound to England Is 16,100 miles, or 2S0d mlle3 more than from New York to Japan via Suez Canal. The distance from New York to Japan via Cape Town Is only 15,730 miles. The foregoing shows conclusively that the 58 rate Pittsburg to Japan Is about the usual water rate. Tho wheat rate to England from Puget Sound would be reduced considerably, as. If the present rate is 53 35 per short ton Buds and Flowers of Home Life PAIN17S CELERY COMPOUND MAKES AND KEEPS THE CHIL DREN WELL AND STRONG. Mothers Make It the Home Medi cine for the Little Ones. The children, God bless them, are the buds and flowers of our homes. Without their prattle and hearty laughter our homes would be desolate. They should ever be carefully tended In childhood and youth. If we expect them t0 ripen into perfect men and women. In the home and at school the children have their times of ill-health and suffer ing. We often note the pallid and blood less cheeks, heavy eyes, "nervous move ments and twitchlngs ,of limbs and mus cles. They complain of headache, drowsi ness, weariness, dyspepsia and Indiges tion. All such symptoms and ailments mean that the seeds of disease will have a fast and firm hold", unless proper meas ures are taken to restore a perfect con dition of health. Thousands of v.Ise and prudent parents have made their children happy, healthy and vigorous by giving them nature's medicine, Palne's Celery Compound. In many severe and complicated cases. Palne's Celery Compound has restored health when the little ones were given up by physicians. If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong and rugged as they should be in June, try the health - giving virtues of Palne's Celery Compound. It makes and keeps the children well. or about 16 cents per bushel, for a dis tance of 16,100 miles, the Isthmus Canal would reduce the distance to 9000 miles or less, which would certainly rcduco the rate about one-third, or all of five cents per bushel saved to the farmers of this Coast. The same percentage of saving would be made on all other Classes of goods, lumber, etc., shipped to or from England or the Atlantic Coast, or from 33 per cent to 73 per cent. Regular lines of steamships would bo established between Atlantic and Pacific Coast points via the canal. The distances not exceeding 6000 miles could be covered easily in 23 days, which is about tho average time on freight via all rallAand 13 considerably quicker than Is made on lum ber, etc., as every lumber shipper knows that 30 to CO days Is the average dellvery to Atlantic Coast points. Ono of our largest merchants informs me that his firm has goods en route mest of the time, from interior Pennsylvania points, such as Pittsburg, routed via rail road to New York, via steamer to Colon, via railroad to Panama, via cteamer to Tacoma, and on such shipments he saves from 20 to 30 per cent. The goods usually arrive in 40 days or less. Mr. Hill says "rates have been reduced one-half In 20 years," which Is true whero railroads come in competition with water ways only. Lumber and grain rates are about the same now, In all the Northern states, east of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, as 20 years ago, except whero waterways have become a factor. Com parison of tariffs for the past 20 years will prove this beyond question. The Central states are deriving great benefit from the Great Lakes, the differ ent navigable rivers and Erie and other canals, and It is time this Coast derived some benefit from Govex-nment waterways. Tho Isthmian Canal would do the busi ness, saving 33 to 73 per cent as a starter, that Is, figuring present railroad rates as a basis. Mr. Hill says. "We might get one of our big vessels In there among the mountains and never get her out." That Is. lodged in the Isthmian Canal on account of earthquakes. He ought not borrow any trouble on that score. The "water" In his "merger" stock would float his bigge3t ships anywhere In tho world. S. A. GIBBS. SMITH'S DANDRUFF CURE Positively cures dandruff.
