The Supreme Council of the thirty-third de- Bree of the Ancient Scottish Rite of Freema- sonry for the southern jurisdiction of the United States, styled the mother supreme council of the world, convened in regular biennial session today at noon in the house of the temple, cor- ner 3d and E streets. The house of the temple is tho official residence of the vencrable grand commander, Albert Pike, the ranking Scottish Rite dignitary of the globe, and soon after breakfast Masons of high degree began to as- Semble in the secretary general's office to the tight of the Sd street entrance, The grand orient of the supreme council is at Charleston, but since 1874 the meetings have been held regularly in this ctty, although the official or- ders continue to be dated at Charloston, THE COUCH, ROOMS DESCRIBED. As the old clock in the hall of the house of the temple struck 12 the grand commander, looking hale and bright, descended from his reception room on the second floor and entered the great council room at the foot of the etaira, The setting of the room was unique. In the orient was suspended over the grand com- mander’s throne a transparency of odd shape covered with curious #ymbols aud mystic lctters. On a triangular table sat a silver incense pot. inthe center of the room stood an odd- shaped table on which rested certain holy writings and a huge sword. The walls were hung with cloth of white lamb’s wool and eighteen tall candles gave forth brilliant light. On the south wall of the room was suspended the rich banner of the Supreme Council and on the opposite wall was displayed a beautiful sidk United States flag. With the rap of tho gavel the colors of the Supreme Council were run up on top of the house of the temple. ‘the center flag is of poe vith the Scottish Rite coat of arma in lack. ‘To one side floats the battle flag of the Scottish Rite and on the other side floats the U.S, flag.

It 1s about this time of year that wo all begin to think of Zero.” It is the part of every ther- mometer that is most watched and dreaded in this changoable climate of ours, Tho word is from the Spanish and means empty, hence nothing. It was first uscd ona thermometer in 1709 by @ Prussian merchant named Fahren- heit. From a boy bo wasa close observer of na- ture, and when only ninoteen years old, in the remarkably cold winter of 1709, he experi- mented by puttiag snow and salt together and noticed that it produced a degree of cold equal to the coldest day of the year, And that day was-the coldest day that the oldest inhabitant could remember. Gabriel was the more struck with the coincidence of his little scientific discovery, and hastily concluded that he had found the lowest de- gree of temperature known in the world, either natural or artificial, Hie called the degree zero, and constructed a thermometer, or rude weather glass, with a scale graduating up from zero to boiling point, which he numbered 212, and the freezing point 32, because, as he thought, mercury contracted the thirty-second of 1ts volume on being cooled down from temperature of freezing zero, and expanded one hundred and eightieth on being heated from the freezing to the boil- ing point ‘Time showed that this arrangement, instead of being truly scient. was as arbitrary as the division of the Lable into verses and chapters, and these two points no more represented the real extremes of temperature thau from “Dan to Beersheba” expressed the exact extremes of Palestine. Bat urenheit’s thermometer had been widely adopted, with its inconvenient scale, and none thought of any better until his name became an authority, for Fahrenheit fiualiy abandoned trade and’ gaye himself up to sci- ence. uhabit made people cling to the established scale, as habit makes the English ee to the old system of cumbrous fractional ey. ‘The three countries which use Fahrenheit are England, Holland and America.

Belknap’s remains lay in his house before the funeral last week. Dr. Smith Townshend, the health officer, as colonel of the thirty-second Illinois regiment was a member of the famous Towa brigade commanded by Gen. Belknap. On the march to th sea he served on Gen.

Williams stabbed witness in the back aud hip and breast. Mr. Henderson testified that ho saw the boys struggle; one had the other about the neck. When they parted one started off and he over- took Jim and asked if he had cut that boy, and he answered he had, but that the boy had struck him first, Witness detained him until Ofiicer Cross came up and took charge of him, Officer Cross testitied that he noticed the boys fighting and cautioned them, He then went to the box 14th and New York avenue; saw Mr. Henderson with Williams and tho other boy came up srying he was cut. ‘The knifo (blade about two and a-balf inches), the officer said, was banded him as one picked up.

Princo Archille Murat lives in Florida tradi- tion as the man who was too lazy to wash his face. So unconquerable was his indolence that he often lay in bed for a week ata time, and was only roused when his wife sent his negro valet to bathe him by force of arms. Through- out the operation he whined and spluttered like a three-months-old puppy. When it was over and he bad to some extent pulled his amiability together, he went abroad a courtly gallant gen- tleman. jy to offer youa pinch from his Shificent gold snuff box, or the box itself, if by any chande you had rendered him a ser- viec.

A writer in the Ladies’ Home Journal gays the girl who knows everything naturally is not your friend; but you certainly know her and just aa cortainly you dislike her. When you dislike people there is ono thing you should always do, and that is look well at their faults and Inake up your mind that you are not going to fall into them, ‘his girl, who 1s quite tou general to be ploasaut, 18 the gurl who, having foarned something yesterday, knows every- thing. Ste makes herself obuoxious by flaunt- ing recently acquired knowledge, concluding always tuat the people who are quiet are igno- rant; she has no hesitancy in contradicting anybody; she makes an entire luncheon disa- grecable by giving her opinion on the last pro- uunciations, forgetting that custom makes many things correct of which the dictionary hasno mention, She is more than certain as to dates; she can tell you exactly what you ought to do and she fails herself to ses that she is a living example of how disagreeable one person can be. Young men dread her, old ones have the utmost con- tempt for her; she tosses her head, says sho doesn’t care for the opinion of men. Well, she is losing her womanliness when sho feols that way. Every girl ought to care for the opinion of men, She has her father to look up to, her brotiers to be an inspiration to and some day, pee God, she ought to marry.one and make im happy for life. The girl who knows every- thing is seldom cultivated either im mind or manner; she throws out her bit of information usa naughty boy would throw bricks, and the one fired is always the one just gotten. My dear, don't get into the habit of concluding that the world at large is ignorant, Instead, make up your mind that itcan teach you much; intelligence is never lost. Even if absolute in- formation is not given by the intelligent woman the look of cultivation shows in her eyes. Contradiction and ignorance are the combination that forms the knowing girl, and as you love everything good and good-maunered. beware of drifting into being this type of girl,’ Consumption of Opiates.

Secretary Noble remained at home today at work on his annual report, so no one knows whether he has or has not recently re- ceived threatening letters. In the seclusion of Mr, Childs’ private office there was a good deal of talk about New York, but that was all, and the situation, if there is one, remains unchanged. Those who engaged in the conversation referred to were Mr. Childs and Messrs. Russell and Guthridge of the New York Jerald. Mr. Russell was deputed by the Herald to come down and find out the true inwardness of the whole affair, and to him Mr. Chiids delivered the official uitimatum that no steps toward a recount will be taken by the census office until the schedules of the police census just completed are forwarded here for comparison with the schedules of the federal consus. When that has been done,” said Mr. Childs toa Sr, cporter this afternoon, “the office will have an opportunity to see how and where our work or tho police work waa defective. The police schedules would have to be carefully examined for duplications and other ‘not extraordinar; errors, We must have before us the testi- mony that woe are wrong before we mako auy attempt to change our fig- ures. ‘Tho New Yorkers seem to be afraid that we will do something to their police schedules; don't care to trust us with them,but they will have to give them up before we begin to move, REALISTIC BARN-STORMING. AStar, Who is Fired On tor His Acting, is Forced to Explain, From the Denver Republican. “We were playing ina small town, back in the seventies,” said a theatrical man, “when our leading heavy man had rather a tough ex- perience. All the mincrs were in the thcater, Well,the heavy man had been persecuting a poor maiden through two acts. In the third act he came to the powerful scene of the play. ‘At last,’ he said, ‘Ihave youin my power, and nothing on earth can save you. I, who wasthe slave,am now the master.’ So saying he ad- vanced toward his trembling victim. sho moaned, ‘he retorted. ‘You bad no merey for mo and J will have none for you." At that moment a gruff voice was heard from the gallery: ‘You blamed varmint, Vil settle with you,’ There was the crack of a pistol and a bullet whizzed near the heavy man. ‘Plug the son of a gun, boys,’ continued the voice, aud a shower of bullets saluted the stage villain, He didn’t stop long, but fled from the stage. “In the wing he met the stage manager, who was white with anger. “You have broken up the scene,’ he said. ‘Well?’ “Go back to the stage, sir, and wait for your exit.” ““T guess not.” “T tell you I won't have the man in my com- pany who is so easily disconcerted. Go on with the sceno, or you leave the company to- morrow,” “That was serious, Tobe stranded in that forsaken town was calculated to make the heavy man appreciative. * “Dil go back,” he said, “He tore off his wig just before going on, and stepping down to the footlights with an injured expression of countenance, he 8a ‘Ladies and gentiomen (there were no ladies there, but that didn’t matter), with your kind permission I will resume the scene. Be- fore doing so, however, 1 want to call ycur at- tention to the fact that the young lady and myself are merely acting parts. In reality we are the best of friends. I bear no ill-will for your display of heroic chivalry. I trust, how- over, that you will curb your generous senti- ments, for if you should hit me the play would be interrupted. If any of the gentiemen will meet me after the show at McCarty’s they will find out I am not a bad fellow.” “Loud cheers greeted this speech and the play was resumed.” oo COSTLY NEW FASHIONS. Two Novel Fads to Se Soon Introduced in New York. Advices from New York state that a new and surprising fashion is on the point of being in- troduced by a society woman there whose fol- lowing is great enough in the Astor and Yan- derbilt set to insure its adoption as a fad. Otero, the Spanish dancer most recently the rage, is accustomed to perform her capers with a single golden anklet on her left leg, made in a peculiar way—solid in front and fastening with a spring at the. back in such a manner as to adapt itself to any part of the lower limb. The woman of fashion referred to was so struck wi‘ the effectiveness of this peculiar ornament that she is having made by Tif- fany one hke it, only much more mas- sive and «adorned with diamonds and other precious stones. It will weigh nearly # pound and will cost a fabulous price. The jeweler has promised to have it done in time for # big ball that is to open the season of gayety. A sensation will doubt- less be created by the novelty and pl of other fair dames and damsele will not be happy until they, too, have anklets of jew ls and gold, In short. the thing is bound to become the rage. You will see a good deal about it in the papers before long, though this is the first moment that it has got into print, great se- ving for obvious reasons been ob- arding it, served re Another fushion en point of being intro- duced is the voaring of corsaze bouquets of flowers so beautifully imitated in metal that the counterfeit is difficult to detect, For a long time past the leading New York jeweler has been experimenting with this idea, and he has now succeeded in producing orchids and vio- lets in most exquisite likeness to nature. In the center of some of these posies. which are as large as ordinary bonquets for the corsage, is a cluster of diamonds as big as a silver dol- lar, Frora $5,000 to $10,000 will be the price charged for these ornaments, None of th have as yet been put on exhibition, inasmuch as they also ure intended to be a surprise, How She Drove.
