Toggle Supreme officer,?Ur and officers, (And Blithe rest,) I appreciate being here 1 will confess: Ab it plainer shows me What the Courts are doing. The wonderful success That bow 1 am viewing; It sufficient to make Any true Sir Knight feel proud, And their praises o' the Courts To sing aloud. As all honor is due them, For their glorious intention ; And their F C. and B. service Is too extensive to mention? The Sir Knights alone, 1 make no exception, Would never arrange Such a grand reception ; But the industrious Courts With a very little struggle, Do honorably receive Theil 8 W. C., J. L Tuggle. Well, to speak of the Pytbians Even in a brief way Would take too long At least, a whole day, But one feature, They are getting so grand. That they are collecting All the best men in the land Surely the Courts are Following the Pytbians' examples, And to see their material Just look at these samples. Now your attention I have held long enough ; Sol will relieve you To partake of better stuff, Which I believe will Be more agreeable; For some of us Knights Are looking quite feeble. Now you are at ease, To satisfy the inner man Bot I do truly hope The ConrU may forever stand. E. A. Edmonds. Myrtle Lodge, 17.

This eclipses* all previous records. Tbe result was accomplished after IS hours of continuous debate. But two speeches were made by the Republicans, one by Governor Dingley ia opening the debate, and ons by Mr. Payne, of New Tork. In closing lt. The .Democrats wens thus forced to put forth a peaker after speaker, but their bombardment of the Republican peal tlon was unanswered. In all ten Democratic and ons Pop* ?uliat apeecnea were made. The sugar schedule was the main point sf as? sault, but the moat Interesting feature; sf the debate occurred whan Mr. Balley and Mr. McMUlln, ths two rival Demo** eratic leaders, crossed swords on the eueatlon of orthodoxy of the free raw material doctrine, the former opposing auid the latter championing lt. The galleries were crowded up to the time the vote was taken, maur dis? tinguished people being present. Among thean were a number of senators, sev? eral members of the cabinet and a few members of the diplomatic corps. Every Republican in the house whs was present voted for the report.

Before Mr. Dingley presented the con? ference report Mr. Cannon presented the final conference report on the gen? eral deficiency bill, which was agreed to without difficulty. _ Knergy From Volcanic Heat*. The energy stored in the coal beds has rightly been referred back to the sun, and it is no doubt to the same source that we should ultimately attrib? ute tbe heat developed at great depths below the surface of the earth. While lt is believed that no practical attempts to utilise this subterranean heat have yet been carried into effect, there ap? pears to be no good reason why tbe at? tempt should not be made, especially in volcanic regions, where quite high tem? peratures should be revealed at moder? ate depths. In a Colorado mining town an inter? esting combination waa recently ob? served which a little ingenuity might pave converted into a considerable source of power. Within 80 feet of each other were two springs, one of a tem* ?peratore of nearly 200 degrees F. and .the other not over 00, tbe flow of each .being very uniform and the temperature ?quite constant. Tbe theoretical efficiency snight readily be determined from the "well known law of thermodynamics, and ?the use of one stream to vaporise and she other to condense some volatile liquid, such as ammonia or bisulphide nt carbon, might enable a fair percen? tage of the energy to be utilised which is now running to wssta---Oassler's Magazine.

Mrs. Relnman said that ea March S sst Ricardo De Requeseus, who owns he Spanish American printing eer.ab iabment In thia city, and who ls also indar arrest aa one of the eounterfelt >ra. went to her room Just prior ?o hia leparture for New Orleans, on his way o Coeta Rica He had a aatcbel which he witness opened. She aaid that ahe lound lt packed with 100 pesos notes >f the Bank of Costa Rica. The notes vere similar to the alleged counter slts which are in the possession of the listrlct attorney. De Desqueseus aaid hat hia mother-in-law, Mrs. Betsy ZJbevin. had packed lt at her home in Long Island City. Afterward. Mrs. Relneman said, she went with De Requeseue to his printing place, he saxrylng the satchel. Mora, Hauaman and eeveral other men were there, "I felt bad about Ds Requeaeus go? ing away." said the witness, "and I told Mora that be was Bending De Requeseus to hia death. Mora told me if I thought that way I ought to go arith him to Coate Rica. I asked Mora f he knew what was in the valise, and tie pretended that he did not know, ?fora accompanied De Requeseua and myself to tbe Pennsylvania station, rb an De Requeseua took the train for New Orleans. Mora carried the sat :hel to tbe station. The next day Mora nalated that I ahould follow De Reque? seua to New Orleans, and I did so. meeting De Requeseus at the St. Charles hotel In that city. De Reque? seua had the aatcbel in hia room all the Ilma Before I left New York Mora gave me a letter, which I handed to De Requeseua at New Orleans." lira Relneman then told of the trip to San Joes, Costa Rica, where they remained two weeks. She and Ds Re? queseus then returned to this city. She then continued: "Mora called on De Requeaeus and myself the next day. I told him about the arrest of Joee Cam? po on the steamer at Port Dlmon. Coeta Rice, and he exclaimed: 'My God, the government must have got the bill of lading for ths sofa.' He referred to the sofa which contained the $500,000 worth of counterfeit Costa Rican bank notes. De Requeseue told me of the sofa and Ita contents when we were together In New Orleana and ahowed me the bill of lading. De Requeaeus and Mora had a quarrel, and Mora said that Da Requeeeus bad spoiled tbe game. He aaid that everything would have been all rixbt If he had carried eut hie ortclnal plan and sent the money to Coeta Rica in a piano. Mora was much put out. and said that the revolution was a failure. On May 10 be adviaed De Requeaeus and hia fore? man, Hauaman, to leave the city, as bs feared they would be arrested." On cross examination ahe atated that De Requeseua told her that he had made tbe counterfeit notea for Mora's political business, and that Mora would redeem them when be became preaident ef Coate Rica. When ahe aaw the money In the satchel abe waa surprised that the two men. wbo owed her a great deal of money, should have so many bank notes In their possession. She had been supporting De Requeseus and Mora for a long tims. Chief Haxen, of the secret service, said today that young Dohn had con? fessed to him that after the arrest of De Requeseus and Mrs. Relneman he became frightened and threw the litho? graph atones from which the notes were printed into the North river, near the Pennsylvania ferry Blip.

HAD NO FAITH IN PHYSIC. &oeea Kltaebeth Might Have Uved Had Sae Taken Medicine. Of the efficacy of physio Queen Elisa? beth bsd always been skeptical Now, 10 or IS physicians oamo to the palace, jach promising, "with all manaor of asseveration,'' "har perfect sad easy recovery" if she would follow a simple xrarse of treatment. But they spoke in rain. Nor could the protests of council? ors, divines and waiting women induce ber to accept medical assistance. Her melancholy was ' 'settled and irremov? able, " snd she had no wish to prolong it by lengthening out her life. She only broke silenoe to murmur, "I am not rick, I feel no pain sad yet I pins away." She was asked whether she had any secret cause of grief. She replied that she knew of nothing in the world worthy of troubling her. At length by force (it ls said) she was lifted from the ooah iona and put to bed. Her condition underwent no change. Gradually those about ber realised that' 'she might live if she would use means," but thst she would not be persuaded, snd princes, aa they tearfully acknowledged, cannot be coerced. Nevertheless, until the third week they looked forward to a renewal of ber old vivacity aad tbe dispsrsal of ber lethargy. Bnt during tbe week lt was perceived that the ground she had lost could only be recovered by miracle. On Wednesday, March 88, her coun? cilors entered ber bedchamber to receive ber last instructions She had none to give. The archbishop and bishops offered up prayer at her bedside and she derived some comfort tami their ministrations. In the evening t>iie sank into a quiet Bleep, snob as si a had sought without avail for nearly a month. She never woke again. " About 8 o'clock In tbe morning of Mareil 24 she departed this life, mildly like .. lamb, easily like a ripe apple from tbe tree." When she was examined :xrter death, her phy? sicians reported that "she bsd a body of firm and perf t constitution, likely to have lived many years " Death wss, in fact, prepared to the last to bargain with ber for a few more years of life, but bis teeni a v. plied sn enfeeblement of those faculties on whose unrestricted exercise ber qc :.ly fame seemed to ber to depend. By refusing to be party to tbe truce she iuvited ber overthrow, but she never acknowledged herself vanquished.

" 'Ob,' be aaid to us, 'I am literary, ss well as you are, and here's a check for $50 I have jost got from a maga? sine for an article that X wasn't expect? ing to get anything for.' "I told him I wss not that literary, for I couldn't sell one article for $50, and we laughed aad chatted awhile sbont it, Mr. Harter insisting that he wasn't a writer for money, but for the sake of presenting bis views to the world. " 'I don't know whst to do with the check,' he said and turned to his wi fa 'Do you need it?' be asked her. "She told him she did not, though most women would have had use for it quick enough, and he stood irresolute for a moment with the check in his hand, then he smiled radiantly. "'I know somebody who does want it,' he said, nodding at his wife as if she never would see it again.

And he danced away with it as joyously as a schoolboy with a plaything, sad in a minute or two the check, duly indorsed and ac? companied by a letter, was waiting for the postman to start it on its mission of charity, and I have often wondered whst the business manager of that mag? asine thought when he found that check to the order of M.

Weet V lrarln ta's Chief Maarlatrate Thinks tbe Trouble Will Be Speedily Settled by Arbitration ? De be and Bo veretta Willina to Take a Hand. Pittsburg. July 14.?There la a lull In the miners etrike in thia district, attributable to the fact that nearly j ?very mine tn the district ls Idle. To keep up the enthusiasm and prevent ' tae at ri kera from becoming lukewarm In the cauae. however, the officials have arranged for a series of meetings In different aee tiona every day. Three meetings were held Monday at Ban- I nlng. Fayette City and West Newton, and at each place reeolutlons were adopted not to return to work until tbe officials gave the order. Teaterday a large meeting was held at Snowden, on the Wheeling division, and the men were unanimous In their determination to atand firm for the 99 cant rata The miners on this division fear that the company will soon begin evicting them from their houses, and Intimate that If this Lt attempted there will be trouble. News reached the miners* headquar tsrs yesterday afternoon that tbe dig? gers In the Cannel. Warner and Morgan mines, Beaver county, had thrown down their picks and joined the etrike. The three pita employ about SOO men. The strike haa also apread to Mercer county. Five mines are idle in that region. Ths men struck for aa ad? vance of tan cents per ton. An effort was made yesterday to resume work at tha Esk le reine at Monongahela city. It le a co-operative concern, but the sentiment of the majority of ths stockholders was against resumption, and lt was decided to keep the pit cloaed until the strike was settled. A delegation from Brownsville eaya ths Knob, Beaumont, Umpire and Albany nines have closed down, and ths min? ers have Jelned In the general strike, with a determination to remain cut until the question of wages la satis? factorily settled. Governor Atkinson, of 'Weat Virginia accompanied by his wife and a number of state officials, spent the day In Pitts? burg, en route to Canada, where they will attend the convention of the Ep? worth League. Concerning the miners' rt ri ks he said: "The coal strike la not affecting West Virginia very much, and I do not be? lieve the main body of our minera will to out. I do not anticipate any trouble whatsoever from the strike In our itate. and believe the trouble all over the country will be speedily aettled by arbitration." There le a bare possibility that the Joint arbitration conference may yet lead to the termination of the miners' (trike on ths basia af the true and uniformity agreement proposed by President DeArmitt. of the New Tork and Cleveland Coal Gae company, last rear, but which failed for the reason that the tl per cent, of the operators In this district required by DeArmitt could not be secured. Two aesslona of the arbitration board were held yes? terday, representatives from th* st al ea of Pennsylvania. Ohio. West Virginia Indiana and Illinois being present. At the afternoon session President De armlt appeared before the board and told of ths conditions which exist from hie point of view. He recited the his? tory of the miners* struggles for bet? ter conditions. He told of the great uniformity movement In 1896-96, which failed of Its purpose. It hes developed that a number of the operators have been quietly plan? ning a coup which ls sxpected to bring dismay to the miners. It ls the inten? tion to at onee equip the mines with machines and do away with a great many dlggera. When the mlnea ars ready to start, miners will be imported and put to work under heavy guard, ind the premises barricaded. With the co-operation of the other operators, J. A. Beidler, of the Webster Gas Coal company, located on the Monongahela river, will take the Initiative. Tbs operators claim this plan becomea nec? essary because the West Virginia peo? ple are gobbling all of their contracts. It goea without saying that the diggers will reaort to every poaaible means to prevent the carrying out of the pro? posed acheme.

After finding accommoda? tion as a staying place with Mrs. Mar tha J, Wells who has the nicest hotel for colored people in Tidewster, we made our way to the churches. At the First Baptist Church, we were accord dd the pleasure of address? ing the Sunday School for a few min? utes. We visited the Pine Street Bap? tist Church Sunday School on the same morning. During our stay there in the afternoon, we were with Rev. B. J. Hargraves of Pine Street A. M. E. Church The Reverend at this ser? vice preached an able sermon, causing many to rejoice. At night, we were with Rev. W, W. Gaines. At this service, Rev. S. A. Jordan of Florida filled the pulpit, taking for hit* text, "What must I do to be Saved ?" found in Acts 16:30. it is only needful to say that Rev. Jor? dan isa pulpit orator of no small de? gree, fur, from his eloquence many hearts were made happy. PERSONAL DOINGS. Mrs. L. T. Blackwell will return home with Mrs. Alice D. Cox from Jer? sey City, who has been spending quite a while with her. They will leave nrxt Wednesday, and Mrs. Blackwell expects to be gone the whole summer, spending a while at Long Branch. Mr. John Sparkman went to New York last Monday to accompany his daughter home. Miss Miss Eva Spark? man who bas bean in New York sick for about three weeks. Mr. Thomas Alston left Wednesday on the excursion, and he never esme back. He will remain a while in New? port News. We are sorry to say that all of our people haye not as yet learned how to act when they are away home. An excursion came here on last Monday, and the way our young men acted was ridiculous. This does not speak well for Hampton. IN BUSINESS 0IBCLB. While we find our people doing fair? ly well here in a business way. We find some that deserve special men? tion. Mr Frank Larkins finds himself the propriator of a Gent's Furnishing Score on E. Washington in February 1893. Mr. Larkin began business in a small way?say about two hundred dollar stock. But now, what is tbe re? sult of years of striok business. Why, he has over a $2000 dollar stock at this writing, keeps business in a two story building which he calls his own, and has acquired lots of other valuable property ; ann as his story is occupied with the very latest styles. He bas a large patronage from white and eol? ored Another progressive businessman is Mr. Alexander Faulk who is tbe pro? prietor of the only first-class Livery Stable owned by a colored man in Tidewater. In 1896, he commenced the delivery business with a capital stock of one horse and a dog cart: the whole thing was only worth $16-00, but with an eye strictly to business we find him today owning 28 horses, 6 buggies, 2 carriages, 4 carts and three wagons. He does a large business in boarding horses; and carries aa his own stock horses, that can make a mile in 2:80. Mr. Faulk is quite a ge? nial gentleman and bids fair to hold hia own. His business place is cen? trally located and has a large patron? age from both races. Another who is in the "push/ is Mr. J. H. Parham, the well-known Baker. He haled from Petersburg where he learned the trade of a Baker under ad? verse circumstance?, but possessed with a strong resolution, would not be conquered. At this time he is do? ing an excellent business on East Washington Str. Hia demands are large enough to operate two separate places. He is cooking every day over five berrells of bread which speaks well. Onward colored men, the goal is just beyond. Our next week's issue will tell who will be our agent and correspondent here. W.

DEB8 DI800UBAOED. lae Qreat Btrtke Agitator Admits Bli Iaablllt.v bo Induce the Wast Vii** arima Miners to Join tn ch* Struggle ***?r H labor Waves. Pittsburg, July II.?The sttentlon of he miners of the Pittsburg district la ow riveted en the Allison. Boone and Interprlse mines, near Canonaburg. 'he Boone aad All Ison mines, which rare closed on Monday by the owenrs o prevent trouble between their men ad ths march Ins strikers, resumed esterday with nearly a full force. The Enterprise mine started up this morn aa;. Ths program of the strikers 1b ts nsJte anothsr march sal 'cess mines, 'he leaders said yesteressy afternoon hat more than z.060 di sse ra would be nassed in the Pan Handle district and aother march made on the mines. The nea in the Miller's and Tom's Run lstricts are Idle and have plentv of Ime to make another march. They are upplylns themaelves with several ays' rations, aad If the proposed n?rch ia mads thev will atav about he offending mines for several days. Jp to a late hour last night no word elating to a march had been received t district headquarters. If ths march ? made the time will be kept a secret. ust at thia stairs of the strike sen atlonal developments are expected. 7he men are beginning to feel the ange of want, and In a condition bor lerlng on desperation. It was learned yeaterday that organ re rs have been secretly at work among he miners ef the New Tork and Cleve and Oaa Coal company for aeveral iaya One of them was aerved wltb an nJuncUon to remain off the company's ?roperty and leave the men alone. He aid that he had been at work: among he minora at Plum Creak, and ex tressed great hopee of being able to lave them Join the general suspension. La near aa can be learned a concerted flori will be mads in the near future o bring out the roto at Turtle Creak, landy Creek and Plum Creek. Just khat proceedure will be resorted to has tot yet been decided on. The officials eel that In order to make the strike . euccsaa In this district these miners nust be brought out. They admit that hey have a difficult Job on their hands, ls DeArmitt'a men seem determined o remain at work. The mines are ran? ting to their fullest capacity, and are upplying a large quantity of coal to he trade. A dispatch from 'Wheeling, "W. Ve.. ays that last night the 100 miners ern? roy ed In the works of the Glendale ?oal company, eight miles below Vheellng, notified the management hat they would not return to work tkla norning. A few daya ago the SO cant. ate was conceded to the men. with the inderstandlng that they would not trike. Since then, however, the ofn lala of the Pan Handle district union lave been at work on the Glendale nen. and their efforts have proved suc essful. The efforts of the miners will tow be turned toward getting the Houndsvllle mines stopped, also the wo or three still at work in other tarts of the Pan Handle district. An Elkhorn (W. Va.) diapatch aaya: rhe only signs of any of tbe miners lomlag out on the Norfolk and West irn railroad in the Immediate future b at the Switchback collieries. Here l little diasatlBfaction has manifested tself, but otherwise all the mlnee are unnlng to their fullest capacity and iperatora and miners are on the best if terms. Of the 600 to 700 miners in he Flat Top field who were out Mon? tey, about ona-fourth of this number ?eturned to work yesterday morning, rhe meetings of agitation Monday tight and yeaterday availed naught fer heir cause, and the Indications are hat unlosB something very extraor linary develops the agitators will leave he field In this section. Changes that have an Important >earlng upon the coal strike situation n West Virginia came yeaterday. The itate, taken as a whole, ls against the .trike for financial reasons, and all ibo have struck havs been brought tut under the pressure of the organisers ind agitators from elsewhere. Gener illy they have been shamed into sfrlk ng, and their minds change when the Lgltatora move on te other sections. In the Fairmount region Eugene V. 3eba admits that ha la sorely discour? aged. Seventy-six of the Monongah wen brought out Monday returned to work yesterday morning. The Fair? mount managers declare that if the Watson men, about 1,000 in number, :an be kept at work the other mines viii be working tomorrow as usual. Debs will speak at Worthington and aflnersville today to more of the Wat? ton men. The Watsons and their men ixe on excellent terms, and neither side las any grievance. They lead tha re? pton In production and profits, and nave the miners tied up In agreeable rontracta to purchase cheap houses and :o furnlah necessaries in slcknees and leath. The miners have cause to Ilks ind resaect the Watsons, and will probably stick to them. It transpires today that Debs has seen shadowed by two Pinkerton men. and that he has been threatened with leath If he goea to Kanawha. He will ro, however, tomorrow. Governor Atkinson was at Wheeling yesterday. Ha thlnka the atrlke will Lteceme general, and hopea the men will win. He says he has not been oon lulted about using the military, and that none but the moat violent out? break would call fer Ita usa Fifty minera heard E. V. Debs apeak at Riversvtlle. W. Va, last night, but only s few of them came from Mon? tana the most important mine In tha region excepting Monongah. Debs' speech was the same appeal to the men to lay down their plcka and throw their fortunes with their striking brethren* He waa received very enthu ilaatically and the miners seemed deep? ly Interested, but no attempt was made lo organise the men. as Debs thought (hers were net enough miners present. BSvery effort was used to keep the men away from the meeting, and many spotters were employed. FROM WIH8T0N. ?ni?hts of Pythias Grand Lodge in Ses? sion?Hon* J. 6.
