The Nobles of the order of the Mystic Shrine will meet in Dal las, Tex. next June. Buffalo, N. Y. will send a delegation to invite them to Buffalo in 1899 and if they, decide to accept the invita tion the Buffalonians will con struct a replica on Cayuga Island and reproduce an exact counterpart of Solomons Temple as built at Jerusalem. They hope to have the largest conclave of Masons the world ever saw and the song will be “ Put Me Off at Buffalo.” Not long ago it was reported that Mr. Cleveland had purchased a farm near Trenton, N. J., and there was some speculation as to what his purpose was. It tran spires that he bad no other pur pose than to save the home of an old man which had been sold by the sheriff, and from which the old man was about to be driven. Mr. Cleveland had often been ac corded the privilege of hunting on the farm, and the old man had shown b'm several little atten tions. In return for these kind nesses the ex-president redeemed the property, and his old friend will not have to move. The big Niles Tool works at Hamilton, O., are turning out 12- inch Mortars for the government as speedily as possible. Two nav al attaches, assigned to the ord nance department, have been at Hamilton engaged in pushing for ward the work and superintend ing the construction of the huge pieces of ordnance. Within the past few days the work has been greatly hastened to all appearance The officials of the company deny that any special effort has been made to hasten the work since the recent war scare. Despite these denials, there is every indication that the work has been hurried and that the naval officers have been especially busy of late. Marion Brovt n aud Jim Thorn ton, two prosperous farmers of El bert * county, were fined heavy fines by Judge Candler at Decatur last week for horsewhipping a ne gro woman.—Brown being the man who applied the lash, was fined $500, and Thornton, charg ed with looking on and using ob jectionable language in the pres ence of females, was required to pay $100.—The victim and her employer, a white woman named Miss Argo, told a horrible tale of the cruelty which was visited on the former. They said Brown plied the horsewhip so vigorously that the woman had to be soaked in oil before her clothes could be taken from her, and her body was left in a frightful state.—Judge Candler stated it was one of the worst cases he ever saw in a court house, and for that reason he gave Brown a pretty heavy fine. The men accused the negro woman of having stolen a pistol from them. In 1867 when the United States bought Alaska from Russia, on account of the fisheries, no one had any idea that this country would be the scene of the great est gold fever that ever raged on the face of the earth. The only man who saw such a future for Alaska at that time was Cassius Marcellus Clay, who was then Minister to Russia, appoint ed by Abraham Lincoln. Clay knew there was gold, there, and he determined that the United States should own Alaska. He, after tireless effort, nego tiated the sale of Alaska to the United States for $7,000,000. This sum would be a beggarly pittance to pay for it now, as for tunes of that size are taken from its mountain sides every month. But in those days it was undoubt edly thought exorbitant. But Cassius M. Clay negotiated the sale. Washington newspaper cor respondents say the government is making preparations for war in both army and navy circles. It would make mighty interest ing reading for the Atlaota Con stitution to reprint some of the nice things it said about Spencer Atkinson when he ran against Turner. Postmaster Baker, colored, at Lake City, S. C., was murdered by unknown white men early one morning this week. His baby was also killed. His wife, son and three daughters were maimed for life by rifle balls. Baker had been threatened several times be fore but heeded not the threats and persisted in holding the office. He was appointed by President McKinley last August against the protest of three congressman and the people generally. Congressman “Joe” Wheeler, of Alabama, ex-major general of the confederate army and commander of the cavalry of the department of Georgia, has reminded the pres ident that his tender of services at the front in the event of war with Spaifi is on file at the war depart ment. If the ex general should be called upon and could get to gether such a command as followed him in the last days of the con federacy, the country would have in its service a “critter company” which could live on less and do more fightiDg and fight in more ways than any other force which could be put into the field. If the waters separating Cuba from Flor ida were not quite so wide and deep, “Wheeler's Cavalry of 1S98” would hardly need a great deal of assistance in the way of transpor tation to enable it to reach Cuba. The command would get theie by wading, swimming and the use of a few stray batteaux and canoes and when it had arrived something would happen. QUEEN & CRESENT ROUTE. Handsome Historical lithograph.
