Buffalo, N. Y., Feb, 18.—To celebrate
(Vie close of the nineteenth century with
t greatest conclave of Masons that the
y la has ever Keen is one' of the plans
r forth for the Pan-American Exposi
tor of 3890. The scheme has-been incu
r ,ng for some months and the directors
o the exposition and the Masons inter
bred In bringing alvout such a great
gathering have promises of co-operation
, : from all the states in the Union and
in all the countries of North and South
America.
\ xt June the Nobles of the Order of
i Mystic Shrine will meet In Dallas,
1 < for their annual convention, and
} ,i'falo has already chosen a delegation
to so to Dallas and secure the convention
of 1889 for Buffalo. This is to pave the
n,v to the unusual convocation of the
grater body.
1 le Sliriners' convention in Buffalo dur-
I: the exposition will bring at least <fif
. a thousand Masons here, including
r any of the highest men In the order and
in public service. That itself will be an
aitractlon for many other Masons, but
llio iilans of the promoters extend to a
n nster conclave and a parade which will
on do anything ever undertaken by a fra
ti i nal order.
To give the occasion a personal inter
,. for every Mason in this country it is
a -o proposed to dedicate on Cayuga Is
land, which Is the site of the exposition, a
crept Masonic Temple, where, during the
, irse of the fair, will be displayed a re
i ikable collection of relics and famous
, avis of the order. Every lodge that
vnmes to the celebration will bring with it
its best paraphernalia, and it is safe to
sav that the walls of the temple will be
decorated in dazzling richness.
The temple will be built to stand as a
monument to the order and to the occa
sion. Its architecture will be on the lines
of the Biblical description of King Solo
mon's Temple, and no expense will be
spared to make It of magnificent size and
of corresponding beauty.
To the inner sanctium of the temple
only Masons will be admitted, and here
some grand ceremonies will take place,
surrounded by all the pomp of the ritual
iri the presence of the highest dignitaries
of the order. The parade itself will take
pl ice in Buffalo, which is peculiarly suit
■ 1 for such great shows, because of its
asphalt pavements, a condition which
made the G. A. R. parade of last sum
mer a fine spectacle without distressing
the men.
President McKinley, who will soon be
Initiated into the Shriners at Washing
ton will probably attend the celebration
here, as he is to open the exposition, for
win h he broke ground last August.
It is estimated by the Pan-American
directors that 300.0C9 Masons will come to
tin Niagara frontier to Witness these im
posing ceremonies and to be a part of the

The Way Women Suffer.
fFrom Mrs. Mollie Gatlin, Bonham,
Texas: From the age of fourteen
years until I was married I endured
great pain every month. When my
first babe was sixteen months old I
was attacked with neuralgia of the
womb. I suffered the greatest misery
two or three times each mouth. It
would come on suddenly, and in five
minutes I would be almost crazy. A
year ago I commenced using Wine of
Cardui. The first bottle didn’t seem
• to do any good, but 1 kept on taking

From Mrs. Washington Griffin, Church Hill, Miss.: Our

this from necessity, not choice; authors,
university men, doctors, and writing men
generally, not knowing how to spell, are
able with the pen to judiciously slur over
uncertain words, daintily allocating blots,
and all is well—except that compositors,
as a body, profane horribly, and, accord
ing to tradition, early become Bacchana
lian in their habits. Writers have a deal
to answer for. A little of the gift of pro
phetic vision shows us the once homely
pen, the boons and blessings of a one
time civilization, surviving simply as a
leading curio in the dime museum.
It is mere justice to record that the pen
itself has had no contributory part in its
extinction. It has not been the fault of
the pen; it has been the users, helped by
all manner of untoward circumstances.
Onee, it need not surprise any one, pen
manship actually had some character in
it Was not Sir Andrew Ague-cheek coun
seled by his friend Sir Toby to write his
challenge in a “martial hand? And there
is other proof. The philosopher Locke
thought so highly of good writing as to
design a set of writing copies for the
children of his friend, Benjamin Furley.
But the wondrous examples of the old
writing masters most perfectly demon
strate the power of the pen in skillful
hands. And they worked with indiffer
ent implements, quill pens; no one could
write legibly with a quill pen nowadays.
Before the discovery of the art of print
ing, the caking of the writing master
was one of deserved honor, and his work,
as we know, took the form of a fine art.
Lruis XIII and XIV had writing mas
ters in their entourage, with the rank of
a Secretaire de la Charnbre du Bio. It
is a revelation to us, writing holding such
a subordination pace in our scheme of
education, to see the charm or form ar,l
ingenuity of design which belonged to
the charaeiers of our forefathers.
The Italians, of course, were the styl
ists, being pre-eminent in this as in the
other arts. The copies of the self-sabs
fleil Johannes Falatinus, examples of the
ordinary mercantile handwriting of his
time (1539), show a marvelous precision
in form combined with a graceful fancy.
The earliest English master, IVter Bales,
evidently borrowed from the Italians, and
Edward Cocker (penman as well as arith
metic.an) had a dainty power in decora
tive adjuncts to the ordinary writing.
Tin- ancient penmen “flourished” consid
erably, drawing animals and birds and
fanciful themes with wqnderful freedom
and fancy as an artistic embellishment
to the script. Vandoen Slcene of Ghent
and Moronic, a Spanish teacher, were es
pecially expert in this -Irawing by con
tinuous freehand Hn<s the choicest of dec
orative work. It must have been a plcns
ure to receive u leu r in the old days;
but thev must have had a powerful lot of
time on their hands. Still, it shows how
sadly we have degenerated In this “mys
tic art" of “painting speech and speaking
to" the eyes,” from elaborate outline to,
it the very best, bare legibility. 1

will use a typewriter, and others, who
ought never to be trusted with a pen, or
der them by the gross, and take the dis
count. Rudyard Kipling writes a neat,
delicate hand, and Conan Doyles is as
plain as the proverbial pikestaff, but both
use machines. It would have saved a
deal of misery, and helped to perpetuate
a useful art, if other writers of eminence
could have been prevailed upon to “type.”
Unfortunately, the typewriter was too be
lated an invention to affect many of the
best bad writers. Carlyle would not have
struggled with a keyboard, but it Would
have prevented that miserable compositor
fleeing from Edinburgh to London out of
his way If he had. Carlyle’s, however,
was copperplate to others that could be
mentioned. Hugo's manuscripts, we are
told, presented the appearance of a sort
of battlefield on paper, in which the kill
ed words were well stamped out, and the
new recruits pushed forward in anything
but good order. Napoleon was unique in
everything, even in his handwriting. His
letters from Germany to Josephine were
at first taken for maps of the seat of war!
And hip signature was an indistinguish
able hieroglyphic. Byron and Dean Stan
ley wrote atrocious "fists,” and it is said
that Sydney Smith's was no better, al
though he used to chaff Jeffrey badly. He
used to say that he read Jeffrey from left
to right, and his wife from right to lift,
but neither could make out a syllable,
Jules Janin would rather re-write than at
tempt to read over again what he had
writtenVand Montaigne could never read
what he had written. The acute thinker
mended matters by employing a secretary
—whose writing was absolutely undeciph
erable. 'Balzac was as big a sinner, and
Dickens' microscopic characters, written
on blue paper with blue Ink, appalled many
seasoned compositors, A terrible hand
had Henry Ward Beecher; his daughter
oace declared that she had three guiding
rules i copying it—if a letter was dotted
it was not an "1,“ and if a letter was
crossed it was not a "t", ar,d a word with
n capital letter did not begin a sentence.
Jacob Liryan said of Archdeacon Coxe’s
calligraphy that it could neither be called
a hand nor a first, but a foot, and that a
club one. His hieroglyphics formed a
clumsy, tangled black skein that ran
across the paper in knots, which it was im
possibly to untie into a meaning.
Lord Eldon used to tell of John Bell, a
great chancery luminary of his time, that
he had three different methods of putting
his wisdom on paper—one Intelligible to
himself only, another which his clerk could
rend and he could not, and the third
which neither he nor his clerk nor any
one els.- could read. The funny letter of
T. B. Aldrich to Prof. Morse stands along
side of T<-m Hood’s facetious reply io
Lady Gfdrgina Fullerton’s as protest
against learned illegibility. Aldrich assert
ed that he could decipher nothing In the
professor's missive but the date, which he
knew, and the signature, which he guessed

though, perhaps, we ought not) to picture
the consternation of the Bishop (and

a classic is the tale of Macready’s admis

Horace Greeley has, In this connection to
be mentioned with a chasten* and respect.’He,
undoubtedly, was the great master of il
legibility. It was of him the compositor
averred that if Belshazzar had seen his
handwriting on the wall, he would have
had cause to be terrified. A common story
attributed to Greeley, belongs, however, to
one Brooks, some time president of the
New York Central Railroad. It is best, in
all things to be Just. And Greeley can well
spare It. It was Brook’s notice to quit that
a tenant used for two years as a railway
pass. Greeley wrote to some pressmen:
"With a weight of years, I feel obliged to
decline any invitation that takes me a
day's Journey from home,” and this Is all
they could make of it: “If eels are blight
ed, dig them early. Any insinuation that
brick ovens are dangerous to hams gives
me the horrors.” This is the way the mod
erns have juggled with the pen, so can we
wonder that its time of usefulness is well
nigh spent?
CAT AN OPIUM FIEND.
Contracted the Habit From Her CM
liene Master.
From the St. Louis Republic.
In one of the most foul-smelling and
least ventilated of the dens called living
rooms in the Chinese quarter there has
lived for years an animal which, while it
has long been a slave to the habit which
holds its master and so many of his race
captive, apparently enjoys the best of
health and comfort. The animal, a Tgt*
sleek tabby cat, is to many one of the
most interesting sights of Chinatown.
It would at first thought seem Impossi
ble that a cat could smoke opium. But
this cat has learned to crave as madly for
the drug as ever a human being did, and
apparently gains as much pleasure from
its effects as do her master and his fel
lows.
Every night “Kitty” can be seen curled
up in happy slumber in her master’s lap
or with her head resting on his knee.
Wong Sing is the commonplace name ex
ploited by the owner of this remarkable
feline. Sing lives on the lower floor, if
floor it can be. called, of a Chinese lodg
ing house at 719 Jackson street. He has
had his dumb friend ever since its earli
est kiltenhood, and, as kitty ls now about
5 years old, a very strong attachment has
sprung up and grown stronger between
the two.
Sing Is self-confessedly the worst kind
of an opium fiend. Moreover, he will tell
you candidly that he is positively Incura
ble, although he would give everything he
has in the world, which is certainly all
he could be expecied to give, if he could
free himself from “the habit.”
“Me smokee 32 year now,” Sing admits,
with a sigh, when questioned upon, hi? ex
perience with the drug. “Me velly bad boy.
Me likee velly much to stopee, but Sing no
can do now. Two, .tlee, fo’ time me tly
velly hard stopeo smokee pipe. No good
tly, no can stopee. Me begin smokee when
sixteen year old. Catchee habby velly
quick. Catchee habby In tlcc months. Yes,
me velly bad boy.”
And Sing's narrow slits of eyes turn up
ward with a look of resignation to his
awful fate, which seems rather out of
keeping with his plaintive and self-accus
ing statements.
“Cat, he catchum habby long time,”
said Sing, as he stroked the head of bis
pet. “You sabbe catchum habby? He
like© smokee opium velly much, ollee
same*- me, but, he no want to stopee. You
no sabbe him smoke? You come some time
cat catchum habby. Then you see. Then
you sabby.” And but a short wait in the
foul air Is usually sufficient for one to see
a sight which, to say the least, is seldom
to be found, no matter where one may
search for It.
In an instant kitty's nature changes.
She Is no longer calmly stretched In lazy
slumber. She starts up nervously, gazes
about hurriedly. First she ascerains
whether or not her master is indulging in
a f< w draws at his own master, tne pipe.
As Sing sees the cat's movements he -ays
with a smile: “Habby, he come now. You
wntehee, see. He lookee find somebody
smokee. You sabby? Cat velly much l'.kise
find smokee now.”
And Sing knows. Should puss discover
that Sing is not smoking—for that worthy
does not smoke all of the time—she
springs to the ground. The cat then runs
rapidly around the close quarters which
constitute the nbode of ten or more Chi
nese. As she throw? her head to one side
and looks eagerly Into the faces of the
Mongolians in search of one who is smok
ing opium, she appears to be a different an
imal from tk one which lay so quietly
Sleeping a few moments before. If puss
does not find a pipe In use-which seldom
occurs—she makes her w *.nts known by
cries and frantic rustlings to and fro unrll
her ciavings are understood by those fa
miliar with her ways, and until they have
satisfied her appetite for the soothing
fumes which come from the poison of the
poppy-
When tfie pill of opium Is neatly cooked
and the little ball has been placed In its
proper place on the pipe, kitty’s enjoyment
commences. As the smoker Is compelled to
emit from his mouth or nostrils that por
tion of the smoke which he Ls unable to
swallow, the cat stands on his breast or
shoulder, thrusting: her head forward,
drinks in the poisonous fumes with closed
eyes and open mouth. No vivid Imagination
Is required to see a smile of contentment
come over her feline features as the smoke
floats around her.
Els:lit Hays on tile Witness Slnnd.
From the I*ouisville Post.
“The longest time I ever saw one wit
ness on the stand," said a man from
Hardlnsburgt, "was during the life of
Judge Kincheloe, who was regarded as
one of the ablest members of the Breck
inridge bar. He was honored by his peo
ple with the high offices to which he as
pired, and he was always respected In the
highest a3 a man or learning and a ripe
scholar. During his active legal practice
land titles were much unsettled In our
county, and some of the most important
suits came up over titles. In the case
of Askins vs. Asklns, in which Judge
Kincheloe and the late George W. Will
iams, of Owensboro, were the counsel, the
taking of testimony consumed two months.
It was then that Mr. Askin was on the
stand continuously for over eight days,
and when the Judge had questioned him
from every conceivable point of view, he
said: 'Well, Mr. Asklns, you are excus
ed, but I’m afraid we've pumped you so
dry you won't have anything to tell your
wife and family when you get home.' The
witness retired badly confused, but evi
dently glad to get olt the rack."
