The Providence conclave ot Hepta
sophs, No. 193, Installed their ofllcers,
recently elected, In their rooms in the
Auditorium last night. Addresses
were made by some of the prominent
citizens who are members of the order,
and an excellent musical programme
was rendered. After the programme
and Installation a banquet was given
to the members and other guests.
The following ofllcers wore Installed:
J. K. Smith, past archon; J. Belles,
nrchon; C. B. Reese, provost; B. J.
Cannon, inspector; John Robinson,
warden; P. F. Campbell, sentinel; C.

Lew Hulf and John D. Watklns, trustees.
President Mitchell's Exoneration.
Tho effort to discredit and possibly
defeat Mr. John Mitchell, president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
proved to be a complete failure. The
poor, misguided woman, who had been
put forward to charge Mr. MJtchell with
having deceived his people regarding
the shortage of former Secretary
Pearce, Is to be more pitied than con
demned; but such mercy should not be
shown to men, If It transpires that they
wore the instigators. It Is no small
offense to place, or endeavor to place,
a stain upon a good man's name and
honor.
Happily (he committee appointed to
investigate the charges against Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Wilson was composed
or friends nnd foes of his administra
tion. This committee brought in a
unanimous report, not only exonerat
ing the accused and condemning the
accuser, but commending in strong and
unmistakable terms the conduct, of the
ofllclals in tills Pearce matter. The '
resolutions provided for a rising vote 1
of the convention, and it is gratifying
to note that the committee's report was
unanimously adopted.
While tho niack Diamond has not
always agreed with Mr. Mitchell's views '
and policies and has sometimes 01 It!- 1
elzed his oillclnl acts, it bears most I
willing testimony to his personal lion- 1
esty or character. Black Diamond. '
