of belonging to that ordor, ho hnd tho
highest regard for the work such or
ganizations wero carrying on. Tbey
wm'o rendering a real social sen-ice,
andl told Bovcrnl practical illustrations
of what tho lodgei was doing tlint no
other human agency seemed to supply.
Ho told of a poor woman whoso hus
band hnd died, and) who when reproved
for having attended' lodgo moro regu
larly than church, aiid:
"It is time, my husband and I have
been regular in our lodgo attendance.
During his illness two members of that
lodgo amo and sat up with him every
night, and tho lodge has givon mo and
my children substantial aid in other
ways. It has taken clmrgo of his fu
neral, nnd pays all tho burial cxponses,
and furthermore I will receivo $2000
insurance. Why should wo not npp-o-ciato
tho connection with tho lodeo.
when you aro tho first number of the
church that has called on us during hi?
Ulnesaf" This wag told to show that I
tho lodge does things that no other or
ganization undertakes to do.

Evoy, tho Salem dry goods man, that
puts him in tho class who may com'
peto for tho prize offered, by tho Fourth
of July committee for tho one tolling
tho biggest fish story, no said the
McEvoya had a large estate in Iroland
on which was a lako famous for its
eels. Ono variety was hard to catch,
and harder to keep when caught, and
one day young McEvoy hooked ono of
theso ninstor oels, and got tho big fel
low safely in tho boat and started to
row ashore. Tho eel was five or six
feeti long, and thrashod about in tho
boat at a great rato, McEvoy rowing
for his life. As ho got near shoro the
master eel called to tho eels in tho
lako to como to his (rescue, nnd thuy
attacked tho boati on all side, and Mc
Evoy had to throw tho eel overboard
to save his llfo. Somo ono in tho crowd
wanted to know how tho niasto.- eel
called tho other eels up from tho deep
lako to attack tlio future Salem dry
goods princof "Ho took his tail be
tween his teeth and blow on it, and
whistled! loud enough, for tho wis to
hear him dear to tho bottom of the
jlako, and tboy had to come," aaid the
'speaker, amid ehouts of laughter.
Tho festivities concluded wun o
grand ball Jn tho evening. The Jetfcr
son and reform school bands furnished

Contest of Battloshlp Bulldors,
"Washington, Juno 25. Thero is mtich
interesting speculation in tho navy du
pnrtment Tegarling tho result of tho
Uida for tho construction of tho battlo
Bhips South Carolina nwl Michigan, for
which tho proposals wero opened on
Satmduy. Tho bidding, ns is known,
vvas confined to rfx firms, tho Hath,
Me., lion Works; tho Union Iron
Works, tlio'Foro lliver company, tbo
Cramp company, tho Now York 8hlj
bulldlng company nnd tho company At
Newport News. It is considered, how
ever, that tlio really close competition
is between tho Fono Klver company, tho
Cramp company ami tho Newport News
company, with overy clianco that tho
contracts for tlio whips will bo divided
botweert tho Philadelphia firm nnd tho
company of Nowjwrt News. It Is recog
nized, however, thnt tho Foro lliver
company, of which tho head is Francis
T. Bowles, formenly chief Instructor of
tho navy, introduced an unknown ele
ment) into the situation, especially as
Mr. Bowles is understood to havo a
number of projKwltions to present to
tho department. Tho Union Iron
Work of San FrnncUco is probably
out of tho race, on account of the un
settled condition of things in that city,
ns well as: fo? fhV reason that there
is no 4 per cent differential allowed On
llio "South Carolina and Michigan,' as
on previous ttliijm in tlio navy In favor
of Pacific Const firms.
