Formation of Grand Chapter. March 30, 1896, Mr. H. H. Hinds, most worthy Grand Patron of the Order of the Eastern Star, on request of the six chap- tera of the order, then in the District of Columbia, Ruth, Hlecta, Naomi, Martha, Esther and Adah, issued a call for a con- vention, which met on April 80 following at Scottish Rite Hall. A constitution hav- ing been framed and adopted, Mrs. Elmira Foley, a past most worthy grand matron of the order, resident in the District, was deputed to institute the Grand Chapter of the Distiict of Columbia, which was duly Procl; ed as such July 19, 1896.

From the Springfleld Union. While no decision has yet been made as to what shall be done with the Spanish Mauser rifles which arrived at the United States arsenal yesterday, it is expected that, after having been cleaned and re- paired, these weapons will be sold to the public as curlositie: Officials at the arsenal state that these Spanish guns, besides being in every way inferior to the Krag-Jorgensen rifles used by our regular army, show rough and ig- norant usage at the hands of the Spanish soldiers. PS The main difference between the Krag and the Mauser is t » While both are bolt- guns, the former has a magazine which, filled with five cartridges, can be cut off so as to make the rifle practically a single shooter; the latter's magazine cannot be so cut off. It is, therefore, really a repeating rifle. Furthermore, in the Krag the bolt is opened and closed’ by the action of cams (an application of power similar to that used on chalnless bicycles), while with the Mauser the man has to compress the main spring by direct force. It is probgble that these Mausers will be sold for nét Jess than $15 apiece, so that for every one sold the government will be a little more than reimbursed for the man- ufacture of one Krag-Jorgensen, which, as made at the arsenal, costs $14.50. Several Krags have arrived at the ar- sel for repairs, after having been used by rough riders. They show that they can stand very hard usage without impairing their efficiency, proving thereby the excel- lence of their pattern, manufacture and material. There are two, which, after hav- ing been carried through the ‘surf, filled with sand, and wet with water, and after having gone through all the fighting, were quite ready for use just as they were when they arrived, without any cleaning or oil- ing. The butt of one of these—carbine pat- tern-—was split and perforated by a Mau- ser bullet, which most likely bored a hole also through the arm of whatever rough rider held the gun at the time. One of the reasons for the inferiority of the Mausers is that they are made by con- tract by a firm in Berlin, Germany, while our guns are made at the Springfield ar- senal, under the direct supervision of ord- nance officers. Our guns are, therefore, ex- actly alike, one to the other, while the ma- terlal and workmanship of the Spanish rifies show many degrees of quality. DEAD OF THE MAINE Resting Place at Key West to Be In- closed, SS A TRIBUTE 10 SEAMEN'S VALOR Fence Purchased: Under Auspices of Union Veteran Legion. POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION a The fence which is to inclose the last resting place of the ill-fated sailors of the Maine buried at Key West, and which will stand for all time a handsome tribute of the people to the valor of American sea- men, is nearing completion at the Jorss iron works in this city. It is expected that the work will be finished by November 1, and by the latter part of that month the fence will have been erected about the twenty-four graves of the Maine dead, in- closing as well the four sailors of the tor- pedo boat Winslow, who were Killed with Ensign Bagley at Cardenas, Cuba, during the first days of the war. The history of the subscription with which the work of marking the graves and protecting them with an ornamental fence is to be accomplished has heretofore been fully set forth in The Star. The fund has been raised almost entirely in Washington among the employes of departments of the government and the District. The work was undertaken by Encampment No. 69 of the Union Veteran Legion. It was at first expected that about $50) would be secured. Major Frank Butts was made treasurer of the fund and C A. Lyon rman of the committee ing the work in charge. The movement was a popular one every sense the word implies. Subs tions poured in from all directions. came in small amounts, but it w: the contributions of the masses it wished to erect the fence. The subscrip- tion has now closed and Major Butts has on hand over $2,000. The readiness with which the people responded to the en- campment’s appeal enabied the committee to enlarge on its plans, ampie money hav- ing been secured to carry out all that is necessary to be done. hav- 'runsportation Free. One heavy item of expense—t portation from ¥ of trans- shington to Key West— has been eliminated from the account. Through the generosity of the Southern railway and the hearty co-operation of con- the heavy fence and mate- will be shipped to the Key West wharf free of any fight charges whatever. The fence itself will be hanusome in every de- tail, the tall gates being elaborate in de- sign and richly decorated in gold leaf. It being worked out according to the dia- m printed in The Star some time ago. g ‘The contract tor the work of clearing the plot in the cemetery at Key West, mound- ing the graves, and the work of placing the fence in positign the Florida Key has been let to J. H. Harper of that city, who will have evexything in readiness by the tin 2 work here is complete. ‘The committee has been somewhat delayed on account of the outbreak of yellow fever ac Key West, when the ¢ity Was quarantined from the outside world for some weeks. There is nothing new to interfere with she work in any particular, however, and e Thanksgiving « the fence will surround tne commemorating the sailors buried within, and protecting their restir uce from ‘any’ desecration, udore Forsyth, commandant of the West tatign, who has taken lively i t in the work of mark- Me ine graves, and has been of so to the committee in quite ill, afd has been ordere va! hospital at P’ Iphia. He has been succeeded by Commander P. P. Gilmore, who, it is understood, will offer the same facilities tor ¢arrying on the work as given by his predecesso It was at first thought best to erect a second fe} pout the graves of the four Winslow sailors, who are buried some dis- tance from the Maine plot, but, with the consent of Lieut. Bernadou, commander of the little vessel, it has been decided to re- labor to th 1 move the bodies within the square to be inclosed by the large fence, where they will be marked by a monument, the fund for which is being raised by the crews of the torpedo boats on du during the Cuban blockade. The U. V. L. committee will bear the expense of ren ing the bodies. The citiz to € ns of Key West are raising a fund ect a monument within the inclosure as a tribute to the Maine dead. With the official headstones to be furnished by the government, the handsome monuments to De erected, and all cireled by the handsome fron fence, the long-neglected plot will Le complete transformed and no prettier burial piace will be found anywhere. National Naval Cemetery. It is understood that Surgeon General Van Reypen and his as nt, Dr. Boyd, Will petition Congress this winter to pur- chase the plat of cemetery land at Key West, that it may become a national naval cemetery. In this event some veteran of the war will be given a place as superin- tendent to care for the graves, and to raise and lower the flag each day. Post No. 2, G. A. R., of Philadelphia, contributed a fine flag. It has learned, however, that the cost of putting pole will be between $160 and & there would be no one to how: , and as one of the West Indian 's might at any time blow it into the whole thing out into the its of Florida, the committee deemed it inexpedient to carry out this part of the program until some one has been appointed to superintend the cemetery, as above sug- gested. Any surplus that may be on hand at the completion of the werk at Key West will be turned over by the committee to the commandant of the naval station there, through the Secretary of the Navy, to be used as long as it will last for the purpose of keeping the plat in proper condition By the time the money has been expended it is believed Congress Wili have taken some action. Roll of the Dead. As far as can be ascertained, the list of dead of the U. S. S.

Frightfal Experience of a Man Off the New Gutnea Coast. From the World Wide Magarine. ‘The greatest enemy the divers hal to fear in the wate-s of New Guinea was the dreaded octopus, whose presence occasion- ed far greater panic than the appearance of a mere shark. These loathsome mon- sters would sometimes come and throw their horrible tentacles over the side of the frail cratt from which the divers weze working, and actually fasten on to the men themselves, dragging them out into the Water. At other times octopuses have been known to aitack the divers gown below, and hold them relentlessly under water until life was extinct. One of our own men had a terribly narrow escape from one of these fearful creatures. [ must explain, however, that each evening when the div- ers returned from pear! fishing they roped all their little skiffs together and let them lie astern of the schooner. Well, cne night the wind rose and rain fell heavily, with jthe result that next morning all the little boats were found more or less waterlogged. Some of the Malays were told off to go and bate them out. While they were at work one of the men saw a mysterious- looking, black cbject in the sea, which so attracted bis curiosity that he dived over- board to find out what it was. He had barely reached the water, however, when an immense octopus rose into view, and at once made for the terrified mar. who in- stantly saw his danger, and with great presence of mind turned and scrambled back into the boat. The terrible creature was after him, how- ever, and, to the horror of the onlookers, it extended its great flexible ten! veloped the entire boat, man and ail, then dragged the whole down under the crystal sea. The diver’s horrified com- rades rushed to his assistance, and an at- tempt was made to kill the octonus with a harpoon. but without success. Several of his more resourceful companions then dived into the water with a big net made of rope, which they took right unierncath the octopus, entangling the creature and its still living prey. The next step was to drag up both man and octopus into the whaleboat, and, this done, the unfortunate Malay was at length seized by his legs and dragged by sheer force out of tho frightful embrace, more dead than alive. However, we soon revived him by putting him in a hot bath, the water being at such a tem- perature as actually to blister his skin. It is most remarkable that the man was not | been held altogether drown as he under water by the tentec * the octo- pus for rather more than minutes. But, like all the Malays of our party, this man carried a knife, which hs used to very good purpose on the monster's body when first it dragged him under the water. These repeated stabs caused the creature to keep rolling about on the surface © unhappy man was in this way enabled to get an occasional breath of alr, otherwise he must infallibly have been drowned. The octopus had an oval body, and was provided with an extraordinary Lumber of tentacles—six very large ones and many smaller ones of varying sizes. It was a horrible-looking creature. with a flat, slimy hody, yellows ish-white in color, with black spots and @ hideous cavity of a mouth without teeth. had It is the tentacles of the creature that are so dreaded, on account of the immense sucking power which they possess. After this incident the divers. alw: took @ tomahawk with them on their expeditions, in order to lop off the tentacles of any oe topus that might try to attack them. pL staid RRR New Rifles Puzzle In: . From the Minneapolis Tribune. The Krag-Jorgensen rifles with which Uncle Sam's regulars are armed are weap- ons of great interest to the old hunters and sportsmen who have gathered at Walker from all sections. The soldiers pass care tridges among the curious, who retain them as souvenirs. Said one of the blue-coated men who had returned from Sugar Point, having taken part in the scrap: “The Indians ran against something { our bullets that surprised them. The st bullet of the Krag-Jorgensen is a search- ing thing, and if there ts an Indian con- cealed in the grass in line with it for three miles it will find him. -When we caught a couple of bucks who, we could see, were behind pine trees from the smoke of their rifles, the others soon learned to fajl back. The ‘steel bullet will go through forty inches of pine and kill any Indian who may have thought he was safe. They can’t fight the way they used to.” a INDIGESTION.
