AN INSPIRING
SPECTACLE
CARBON DA LE, Aug 19.—This is
the red letter day of the big Knights
of Pythias convention. The grand
parade ot the encampment was held
this morning and thousands of people
thronged the streets to view the mar
chers The procession was a magnifi
cent spectacle. Many bands enlivened
the parade, flags and banners flutter
ed in the breeze, ;» royal reception
Ma* tendered the paraders all along
the line of march. It was the biggest,
grandest parade in the history of Car
bondale since semi-centennial day.
Farade day of the convention is one
of the most fondly looked forward to
ut the gathering Delegates and vis
ltiug oomuianderies participate. I'his
morning broke threatening enough, a
light'dtizzliug ram began to fall just
as the starting bell pealed out its
command, and continued all the morn
lug The paraders and throng of peo
ple. were, however, unmindful of
t bis Nothing could dampen their
ardor.
Asid * from the election of a I'land
inner guard and grand trustee, which
offices I lie post grand chancellors could
not agree upon, and the endorsing of
the Pytlnau home,the fir-.t day's work
of the convention was quite feature
less.
After the formal opening of the
convention the grand lodge rank was
conferred on all past giand chancell
ors who had not already received it.
The report tit the grand ollicers was
then read and referred to committee.
* The Pythian home project designed
for the care and maintenance <>f old

which is being boomed by the western
delegation, received a deserving lin

Bertou Rearick, of Philadelphia,
was elected grand inner guard after a
sharp contest. He was opposed by a
uumber of others, including Attorney
James Watkins, of Taylor, who re
ceived the second highest number of
votes Inner guard is a much sought
after position as it is a stepping stone
to all the other offices within the gift
of the order. From inner guard the
member is advanced in succession up
to and including gland chancellor.
This is practically the only office
which is contested for Louis Gun

grand trustee. The next convention
will be held in York. McKeesport

MANY ENJOYED THE
POPULAR OPERA
An nutlioii *e thai tilled every avail
able inch nt space in the auditorium
ill the Hark Theatre, anil which over
flowed into the lobby and up the bal
couy stairs, assembled last evening tn
welcome iii its new production,"Miss
Bob White." The great audience was
so entirely delighted with the opera
that the minute the overture began
the familiar tunes were immediately
whistled in all parts of tin- house,and
this made one feel, more than any
thing else has, that the long stimuli i
had at last come to an end and that
the theatrical season had once more
begun. Since the hueolii' coiuposit ion
was tirst seen here it has passed
through many changes of dress, hut
ast evening a iiumhcr of the original
tunes that Nerved to make the work so
popular when it was originally pre
sented were restored, to the great ile
light of the audience.which manifest
ed its approval from the very first,the
encores and repetitions prolonging the
entertainment until late in the even
ing. The special interest of the oc
casion centred in the appearance as
Bob White of Dorothy Hunting, who
made such an instantaneous impression
when she appeared here earlier in the
summer in"The Strollers," which
was presented for a few weeks at the
same theatre. She is a singer of no
little distinction, with a rich, clear
voice and a delightful presence, and
she sang the familiar melodies last
evening with such a charming senti
ment and wit that it made one wish
that she might he seen in a role that
was more woitli while.
A dainty little doll-like creature,
Alice Dovey,with a pretty light voice
was very effective as (lohlciirod, and
Kdith Blair, who is extremely fair to
look upon, made an ideal Onn Onlv-
Al Dame, Miss Autumn. The two
comedians, Neil McNeill and Frank
Dcslion, made an instantaneous im
pression with the large audience from
that moment that Artie Trn Billion
announces that he would " rather have
a round meal than a square one, as
the former has no end." Mr. Deshon
was particularly funny as the little
man. Much of the success of the per
formance was due to the chorus, which
is composed of a great number of
young, good looking men and women,
with bright, tresh voices, anil their
nice singing, considered with the ex
cellent drilling and the pretty stage
pictures that are constantly formed,
go in a marked degree to explain the
great popularity of the piece. The
entire simplicity of the story, in which
the avocations of daily life on a farm,
such as churning, ft tiling, swinging,
baking and the rest, are presented to
catchy airs, has won for "Mis- Boh
White" a place in popular favor that
has never been leached by any other
little opera —Philadelphia Public

Miss Bob White is one of the attrac
tions at the Danville theatre early in
the season.

The Cipher
Gel e gram
[Original.]
Lisa was a young liussiaii girl, the
daughter of a general. At the time the
Crimean war broke out she was en
gaged to Dimitri Ollzoff, a lieutenant in
the Russian army. There are cases
where lovers become so wrapped in
each other that separation Is agony. So
It was with these two young people
when Dimltrl Olizoff departed for the
ward. Lisa held to him till the last
minute and fell in a stupor when be
left her.
It had been arranged between them
that olizoff should not only send word
by everyday mail, but telegraph her In
case of bis being wounded or taken
sick. This might Involve sending news
of a battle. The Russian government
gives out all the news, riot permitting
even the newspaper correspondents to
send any except what has passed n
censor. Therefore Olizoff would not
only be obliged to send his message
surreptitiously, but In cipher. The
lover arranged a code, giving Lisa the
key. lie did not tell her that there was
little hope of his being able to use It.
Still, since the cipher was simply a few
ordinary sentences, each with a special
meaning, the sending of a message was
not impossible.
Olizoff was wealthy, and Russian offi
cials are very corrupt, lie made the
acquaintance of a telegrapher at head
quarters and arranged with him for
1.000 rubles to send a message If re
quired.
One evening Lisa was at an enter
tainment at the house of \ ladimlr
Sohnski, a prominent government of
ficial at St. Petersburg. The Malukoff
had been stormed and the government
was especially desirous of keeping
news which forebode the defeat of the
Russian cause from the people. Ti.c
host knew of it and was instructed to
proceed with bis entertainment, since
a postponement would excite suspicion.
In the midst of the festivities a tele
gram was handed to Lisa. She tore off
the envelope, scanned the words in the
message and fell in a faint. Solinski,
who had been feigning to be in a merry
mood, but really was depressed by what
hi- was concealing, happened to be near
Lisa when she swooned. lie seized
the telegram, noticed the point from
whence It came and knew at once that
It must lie a cipher message containing
some news about the disaster. lie
had Lisa carried upstairs to a private
room, notified the police to conic and
take charge of her, and disappearing
from among bis guests Went directly
to the imperial palace with the tele
gram.
The telegram was composed of two
sentences, "I am on picket duty to
day" and"l love you as ever," the
first meaning "There has been a disas
ter," the second "1 am badly wounded."
It had been understood between the
lovers that in the latter event Lisa
should goto her lover if possible. Lisa
before recovering from her swoon
raved about his condition, then as soon
as she came to herseli raised herself
from the couch on which she had been
laid, saying that she must go at once
to him. Then for the tirst time she saw
among those about her a police oflicer.
She knew at once that slie had betray
ed herself.
Lisa was sent to her father's house,
where she was kept under the surveil
lance of the police. Lvcry effort was
made wit! out success to induce her to
tell from oia the telegram, which
was unsigned, came. But It was quite
plain that it must have come from her
lover. An account of the matter was
sent to the headquarters of the army
with orders to watch Ollzoff without
Informing hitu of the result of his mes
sage, ill the hope of catching him send
ing another and discovering through
what operator he sent it. < Uizoff, how
ever, sent no more messages, for he
was lying in a hospital severely
Wounded.
Several months passed, during which
Lisa was kept in close confinement.
Without any knowledge of her lover's
condition. She did not know whether
be had died of his wound or would live
to suffer a worse fate for sending sur
reptitiously a telegraph message that
only the government might send. She
sank rapidly under the strain. Those
who attended her dared not speak of
anything that had happened In connec
tion with the matter, and Lisa did not
even know bow her own father, who
was with the army in the Crimea,
stood toward her.
One afternoon there wn< a sound of
horses' ho. is and the clatter of sabers
in the court. Thinking that her father
bad returned from the war, a sudden
thrill of hope passed through Lisa that
he would bring her news of Dimltrl.
Then she heard her father's voice and
looked for him to rush upstairs as ho
was used to doing when he came home,
lint when he did not she supposed that
he had not forgiven her for her part in
the deceit. Presently she heard several
people coming up the stairway very
slowly. Then her door opened and her
father entered, followed by the order
lies supporting the wasted figure of her
lover.
"You are forgiven, my daughter,"
wild the father. "The emperor has
listened to my prayer In your behalf.
Vladimir won his own forgiveness by
gallantry hi the action of which be
sent you the news."
The father embraced his daughter;
then her pale soldier lover lluiped to
her and they were locked In one an
other's arms.
The telegraph operator was not so
fortunate The message was traced to
Mm, and he was sent to Siberia. This
was the only cloud upon the lovers'
happiness, and Lisa, a few years later,
while at court, persuaded the. emperor
to grant the man a pardon.

factory results as to expression, in
which a cat's face can be particularly
eloquent, are not to be secured in this
way. Those who have had reason to
know say that even the fur of felines
is Indicative of several things. In
health and contentment it stands out
flutlily from their bodies, while In fear
or displeasure it lies flat and lankly to
the skin.
"Not long since a picture was placed
on exhibition of a cat lapping milk,
with its tail held high. Though the
technique was good and the fur really
'furry,' the value of the whole was
practically nil, because no cat has ever
been known to eat with Its tall In tho

appendage lower and lower, until with
a full stomach It sweeps the ground

different, however. They scramble in
to a dish of milk with their pointed,
ratlike tails at right angles to their
roily poly Imdles and sometimes forget
to take down this sign of animation
and alertness. Any one who knows
cats knows that the tail at every angle
and with every movement is expressive

IN FIFTEEN
FATHOMS
[Copyright, 1903. l»y C. P Lewis.]
We had gone to i'.ird island, in tho
Arabian sea, in the trading lu'ig Hope
lisli for pearl oysters. One day as
we were dragging the bottom In fifteen
fathoms we came across what we be
lieved to be a sunken hulk. The spot
was about three miles off the Island.
Our divers could not descend to such a
depth to make an inspection, and after
two days spent in preparing tackle we
sailed the brig out and anchored her
near the Spot.
It was three days before we got the
breeze from the right quarter, but
when it came we threw over our drag
and sailed over the wreck. grap
nels caught her, and tho ropes and
chains stood the strain. We piled sail
on the brig, but for ten minutes she
heaved and tugged and was held fast.
Something had to give as the breeze
freshened, and, to our great joy, the
hulk was pulled out of her sandy bed
and towed along the bottom behind US.
We got her into thirty feet of water
and within two cable's length of the
beach and anchored her. The pearl
divers then went down to make an ex
amination. They reported her to be
the hulk of an Arabian dhow which
must have been in collision with an
other craft, as she was staved in on
the port quarter.
What we wanted to get our find on
the beach was a breeze from tho north
west. It came after nearly a week of
waiting, and the combined efiorts of
wind, current and title brought tho
old hulk in at high water. She was
one of the most curious sights a sailor
ever clapped eyes on. From stem to
stern she was a solid mass of shells.
She was about ninety feet long, and
when we came to dig down to the
wood we found it almost as hard ns
iron. She bad been rigged with two
ma -is. the- stumps of which stood up
eight feet high A few feet of bul
warks remained on either bow, but tho
rest of the dock had been swept clean.
Our grapnels hail caught in the hole
which sunk l or. else they would not
have caught .>t all owing to tho solid
layer of shells.
It' we had been supplied with powder
we should have blown her up, but as
we had none we had to do some hard
v. ei K with pick and shovel. The in
t;-r or seemed to be a solid cake of
int. ; and sand, but we did not remove
much of it until we had cleared the
outside. Alter she had lain ill tho hot
Min for three or four days she began
to dr\ out, and the work of digging off
the shells was much easier. There
w>ie ;i\ -epai.ite and distinct layers
on her deck, and mi >ed with the bot
tom one we found three Arabian
• word •. two or three ancient muskets
and a i ouplo of axes.
The diver-, had given it as their opin
ion thai had been run Into, but
when we ♦.-111.e to make a closer in
spection of the holes in her quarter we
concluded that she had been struck by
a shell tired from some man-of-war.
It had sent her to the bottom as quick
as if she had been run into by a thou
sand ton ship. Inning the week wo
were freeing tho hulk from her shell
armor a close watch was kept on
the beach, and we picked up coins to
the value of about ssuo, American
money. Some of these were Arabian
and some Persian.
\\ hen we had entirely cleared the
decks we found the craft had only one
hatchway, and that was amidships.
We enlarged this and then rigged up a
windlass and bucket to empty her as
dirt is taken from a well. Every buck
etful was carefully inspected as soon
as dumped, but we found nothing more
valuable than shells until well down to
her keel. We couldn't make out what
sort of cargo she carried until the shov
els began to throw out human bones
along with tho sand. With the holies
came iron shackles and other outtit
tings of a slaver, and by and by we got
down far enough to find that she had
been fitted for a false deck and thus
enabled to carry a double tier of slaves
in a hold only six feet deep. We dug
cuit of her old In Hies enough to account
for at least fifty persons, and a sur
geon who afterward examined some of
them said they belonged to men and
women of the negro race. In the fore
castle we found nothing except a cou
ple of gun barrels and two earthen
bowls, but in the cabin we bad better
luck.
In the last dirt we took out we found
coins to the value of These wore
scattered about on the tloor. Many had
worked out and come ashore, and
many were doubtless buried In the
sands beyond recovery. We found a
number of muskets and swords in the
cabin, but as no bones were found
there or ii the forecastle we argued
that the crew must have got away In a
small boat.
Six months later when we told our
story at Cape Town we were referred
to history to prove that the dhow had
been fired on and sunk by 11. M. S.
Sovereign while forming one of the
fioi t to suppress the slave trade. The
dhow had loaded part of a cargo of
slaves on tl e .Mozambique coast when
driven off a: id pursued by the man-of
war. The chase lasted three or four
days, and the dhow had finally thought
to escape by running among the is
land- Win n she went down her crew
escaped to Mini island and were after
ward taken off by a native craft.

A Cnreful Old I.nil}-.
An old huh applied nt a registry of
flee fur a maid.
"1 want a little girl, between eight
een and t sventy two years 01 ;ik< who
Is fond of mushrooms."
"Fond of mushroomsV" inquired the
agent "That is somet liing I never
Inquire about from my applicants. I
don't understand."
"Well, 1 am very fond of mushrooms
myself, and there are so many mis
takes made. The Idea came to me sev
eral years ago, and it was a dispensa
tion of Providence that it did or 1
should have lieen killed. I make my
maid eat a portion of all mushrooms
brought to my house before any are
nerved to me. 1 always require It,"
replied the old lady. "I have lost two
excellent maids from toadstools dur
ing the last live years, and, of course,
1 could not think of taking the risk of
eating mushrooms unless I had a maid
to test them " —London <jlul«

A very convenient article to have in
the house is a smooth, strong stick
about forty Inches long, with a deep
noteh in one end. With this pictures
nnty be lifted by the wires from their
hooks, cleaned and replaced without
the trouble of climbing up and down h
stepladder.

it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
