He suggested that the Grand Lodge or some member "would pay a fitting tribute to the influence, life and character" of the aged broth er. It was this suggestion that brought about the love feast and enacted the stirring scene that fol lowed. "Grand Warden Plato Collins, of Kinston. made one of the prettiest talks heard in a Grand Lodge hall In many a day. He paid a glowing tri bute to the veteran Odd Fellow, who -was present. He was followed by Mr. E. N. Penny, of Wilmington; Grand Secretary B. H. Woodell, of Raleigh; Grand Master McBrayer, of Asheville; and Mr. M. W. Jacob!, of Wilmington, all of whom paid tributes to Mr. Jones and the great work he has done for Odd Fellowship In the state. "On motion of Mr. Charles F.

The vote of thanks was extended by a rising -vote. "After this Mr. Jones, the subject of this speech making an unusual scene, was escorted to -the grand master's chair and while he sat there the entire -membership of the lodge passed and shook his hand. Old members of the Grand Lodge say that no such a scene was jever before witnessed as that pre sented on this occasion. It-was this that kept the lodge in session until the late hour." . ... .

Wliat the Association lias Been Doins '' During tlx? Past Year. The Young Men's Christian Associa tion is now one of the most popular institutions in the city. Never before haa this worthy cause been more pros perous, nor its members more enthusi astic. This is shown by the fact that it now has 400 members, composed of men from almost every calling in the city. Many are clerks in the stores and offices of the city, other from the A. C. L- offices, where so many young men are employed. Then there are mechanics from the shops, business men who represent the heaviest busi ness interests in the city, also pro fessional men, doctors, lawyers and others. Never before has the mem bership represented a more general class, showing its adaptability to the requirements of every man In the city. The season just passed shows a mark ed Increase in the use of the privi leges of every department. The physical department, compris ing the gymnasium and baths, has been used to Its fullest capacity dur ing the winter and spring months. fThere were 9,567 baths taken. 308 gymnasium classes have been conduct ed, with an attendance of 5,447. In addition to this, athletics have been made popular by being conducted reg ularly. Four championships were de cided. These were In all round ath letics in both the Junior and senior departments. The former was won by Master Louis Orrell and the latter by Mr. John Cooper. The other two were basket ball championships. The team of Louis Polsson won In the Jun ior department, and that of Mr. J. A. McGeachy for the Association In the tri-league. composed of teams repre senting the Association, A. C. L. and Boys' Brigade. The Interest in this department is still good, despite the warm weather, as shown by the fact that another' class hks Just been organized for men. which meets each morning at 9:15 o'clock. It Is also worthy of note that tfre members have Just subscribed $1,075.00 with which to Install a mod ern swimming pool, which will prove such a great source of Dleasure and healthful recreation to the members durlnr the hot months. The social department, under the directlon of Mr. J. T. King, has proved of great attraction to many of Wil mington's people. Several social fea tures were conducted during the sea son, when hundreds of people were present. Among these features may be especially mentioned those of Octo ber 3d and January 1st. The educational department was not a great success, but In comparison to the preceding year it was an Im provement. In the year 1902-'03 no educational elapses were conducted. but during the la,st year one was con ducted In stenography, taught by Mr. C. V. Motte. Fifty-two lessons were taught, and the voung men enrolled have been placed In a position to make themselves more useful to their employers and will be enabled to com mand better wages. The religious department has shown a -marked improvement over former years. From October 2d to Anril the attendance at the Sunday meetings for men averaged 104. "Twenty-nine Bi ble classes were conducted for men, with an attendance of 547, and for boys there were twenty-eight classes, with aji attendance of 453. This is a total of fifty-seven classes, with an at tendance of 1,000. Rev. A. D. Mc Clure teaches the class f"- men. and Mr. Dushan that for boys. These classes will continue to meet through the summer. "They meet onoe each week. vThat for men at 7 o'clock on Monday afternoons, lstiner one hour, and that for bovs on Friday afternoon at 7:15 to S o'clock. These classes are for the men of the city, whether members or not. The reading room hss been in al most constant use. The attendance w 5.969. This room - equipped with about fifty of th bert newspa pers, weekly and month'v m!mina nd other periodicals: 595 books were drawn from the library. The attendance at the buildip- was more than thirty thousand. This has been one of the" busiest seasons in the association's history. Thirgs be come more quiet as the summer months come on, but -there are some lines activity wnicn win go on through the entire summer. This is the season when the baths are more popular than during the colder weath er. These will be thoroughlv over hauled nnd nut in good condition to stand the heavy wear of the summer. Gymnasium exercises will be conduct ed throucrh the summer for those men who care to indulge, and there are several men who enjoy, this better durlne e hot weather than during the winter. The Bible classes will be continued and social work will be made a fea ture. For the boys, outings and games will be in force. Fishing and swim ming parties will be organized, also bicycle trips, and possibly a camp, if there should be a demand for it. Every man in the city should be a member of this Institution, as its priv ileges are numerous and practical and cost the very small sum of ? 5 per year. To provide these costs more than twelve dollars. The building is kept open every day from 9 a. m. until 10 p. m., except Sunday, when the hours are from 2 to 6 p. m. Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by Rydale's Stomach Tablets. Mr. R. E. Jones, buyer for Parker & Bridget, whose large department stores are located at 9th and Penn. Ave., Washington, D. C, writes, un der date of April 14, '04, as follows: Last February, one year, while in New York on business for my house. I caught cold, which laid me up for several weeks and left me weak and nervous. I had little or no appetite. and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble, as my. digestion seem ed so much impaired. I decided to try Rydale's Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend, they were a good dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to real ize that I was getting better. I gave up the doctor's prescription and have gained 20 pounds while using two boxes of these tablets. I never felt better in my life, and accredit Ry dale's Stomach Tablets with having cured me. I can recommend them, most heartily, to sufferers from ner vous indigestion and general run down conditions of the system. R. R. Bellamy.
