The first one took place on June 21 of this year, the last one on September 16. Of the 119 persons who succeeded in climbing this giant of mounts, eleven were women. Contrary to the sta- | Ustics of former years, the number of Frenchmen having ascended Mount Blanc is this time the largest, there being forty- four men and eight women among the suc- cessful tourists from France; fifteen En- glishmen and one English woman, and fit- teen Swiss were among the number, and the rest included Americans, Germans, Bel- gians, Hollanders and Russians. The last ascension in September was made by a Frenchman more than seventy-five years old. = WASHINGTON'S DEATH Its Centennial Abniversary to Be Observed by‘ the’*Masors. ow Program Formulated by the Grand Lodge of Vifginja—Impreasive Ex- ercises at Mount Vernon. : - The centennial anniversary of the death of George Wasahingten, which ocours De- cember 14, 1800. will Be celebrated at Mount Vernon with impressive ceremonies by the Masons of the United States. The propo- sition to thus recognize such a memorable event has been under consideration by the Grand Lodge of the Masons of Virginia for some time past, and has met with cor- dial approval by the other representative bodies of the order. During the present week a program for the observance has been formulated by the committee of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. The committee comprises Judge R. T. W. Duke, jr., of Charlottesville, grand master of Masons of Virginia; ex-Mayor K. Kem- per of Alexandria, James B. Sener of Fred- ericksburg and Micajah Woods of Char- lottesville. Ceremonies at Mount Vernon. While subject to minor changes, the pro- gram contemplates the assembling at Alex- andria December 13, 1899, of the Grand Lodge of Virginia in annual session. Next morning the Grand Lodge, escorted by Lodge No. 4 of Fredericksburg, in which the father of his country received his first Masonic degree; Washington Lodge, No. 22, of Alexandria, of which Washington was tho first master; Federal Lodge of this city and representatives of every grand lodge in the United States will proceed to Mount Vernon, and there, as nearly as_ possible, duplicate the funeral services of Decem- ber 18, 1799, going over the same ground as in 1799 and adding to it an extension of the procession to the new tomb in which Washington’s remains now rest, and to Which they were transferred about the year 1S#0. At both tombs there will be suitable Masonic ceremonies. The services at Mount Vernon are to conclude, as is now expected, with a short address from the President of the United States, who is a Mason and a Knight Templar. After these ceremonies the participants, including the distinguished guests, wil! pro- ceed to this city, where a banquet will be given. District Masons Take Action. At the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia held last night the subject was considered, Grand Master Palmer giving it earnest attention in his annual address, and Mr. Sener, who was present as the representa- tive of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, speak- ing in its behalf. Other addre: were made commending hearty co-operation in the project, and a committee under the chairmanship of Past Grand Master Har- rison Dingman was appointed to co-op- erate with the centennial committee of the Grand Lodge of Virginia. —— FACTS AROUT POST OFFICES. New York Has Most of Presidential and Pennsylvania of Fourth Class. The report of Fourth Assistant Postmas- ter General Bristow for the fiscal year end- ed June 30, 1898, shows that there were at the close of the!fiscal year 73,570 post of- fices in the Unitdd Stites; 3,816 presidential and 69 fourth class. The net increase in the number of post offices for the fiscal year was 2,548, The state having the largest number of presidential post offices is New York, with ), followed by Pennsylyania, with 254, lilinois with 257, Iowa with 212 and Ohio with 208, The istates having the number of presidentia? post offices | oming and Nevatla)\with 8 each, U 10, Arizona with 11 and, Delaware, Indian territory and New .Mexigo with 12 each.

Another interesting feature of the report is the postal facilities for Alaska. Inspect- ors were detailed to reorganize the mail service in this territory, which resulted in the establishment of a line of post offices from the Canadian border to the Bering sea, a distance of about 2,000 mil and many other needed improvements were mede in the mail service in Alaska upon the recommendation of these inspectors. A number of recommendations are made by the fourth assistant postmaster general which are worthy of attention, one being that a reverer penalty be provided for em- ployes of the service who may be found guilty of embezzling or destroying newspa- per mall. New Envelopes for Registered Matter. Another recommenflation is that more stringent statutes be“enacted covering the transmission of “green goods” and obscene matter through 'the mails, and that a spe- cial stamped enyflope ‘of superior material, of the denomination of 10 cents, be adopted in lieu of the present system of registering letters. Many 16$8es bccur {n the mails be- cause of the Pook: quajity of the envelope in which the articlés are inclosed. A strong envelope of the value of 10 cents, as a reg- istered envelope, is fecommended Instead of the registry stamp, | It is also recommended that all money or- der offices be inspected annually, which Would be a radical extension of the inspec- tion system and wélid doubtless be of great advantage'to the service.

A sp2cial to the Baltimore Sun from Co- lumbia, S. C., last night, says: Eight lives have been lost in a conflict between whites and negroes that began on election da the polls of Phoe precinct, Abbeville ccunty, in the western part of th2 state, near the Georgia line. Today added the seventh and eighth to the list of the vic- tims. ‘eeling is intense, and others ki The whites are determined. The immediate cause of the trouble was the piacing of an additional box by R. R. Tolbert, republican candidate for Congress and state chairman of the republican party, near the regular state ballot boxes of Phoe- nix precinct. Into this additional box Tol- bert directed each negro man to put a prin circular stating that he had been denied the right to vote, and had he been given the right would have cast his ballot for the r2publican nominee. —+ 0+ NEW HOTEL IDEA. may be “Kick” Detective Kept to Find Out the Guests’ Wants. From the Kareas City Star. A detective was formerly paid a good salary by the keeper of a big hotel in Hot Springs, Ark., simply to lounge in the lobby and Isten to the complaints and criticism of guests. There is always a feeling of friendliness and comradeship between guests at a hotel, and this detective made it his business to become acquainted with all the visitors. They thought he was a fellow guest. The detective would lead the con- versation to the merits or demerits of the hotel, and if a man complained of the service or his accommodaticns the com- piaint was promptly reported to the land- lord. For instance, if a guest complained that he liked to sleep late in the morning and he could not do it because he had a room with an east exposure, so that the sun came in and awakened him, the detective would report it to the landlord. In a little while the landlord would say to the guest: “I was thinking this morning about you in that east room. Do you like to sleep late in the morning?” . The guest would say that he did. “Well,” the landlord would say, “I was thinking that you did, and in that case the sun must disturb you. I will give you a better room on the north side of the house.” That made the guest a friend of the house for life. A man never forgets a land- lord who takes an interest in him, This detective found cut what particular dishes the guests enjoyed and all their hobbies and notions and likes and dislikes. and the landlord acted on this information. It paid so well that the house was full all the time and the landlord’s salary was raised. His praises were sung so widely and his fame as a successful landlord spread so that a big hotel in Minneapolis hired him at an enormous salary. The de- tective who did this work was known to the attaches of the hotel as “the kick hunter.” SIX YEARS OF SILENCE. Well-Kept Vow of a Prisoner in a California Prison.

Several peo- mitted in Orange county, and with his lib- eration there passed from the prison walls one of the strangest characters that ever wore the striped garb of the penitentiary. When Cunningham was landed within the walls of San Quentin prison he turned to the sheriff who had conducted him hither from the southern part of the state and swore a heavily solemn oath that no word weuld escape his lips during the period of his incarceration. Cunningham stood by his oath through the long, weary years of his sentence, and his tongue never loosen- ed until he stepped without the prison walls yesterday a free man. Whenever it became necessary for Cun- ningham to communicate his needs or wanis to others, he did so in writing or by motions. After being confined in the prison a short time he was thought to be insane and was sent te the Ukiah Asylum. Here he was confined but a short time, for it Was soon ascertained he was in his right mind and merely acting in a stubborn man- ner. Word was sent to the prison officials and Guard Miller was sent to the asylum to bring the prisoner back. When near Santa Rosa he jumped through a car win- dow, but was captured after a hard chase. After his return he still preserved an in- violable silence, and was put into what is known as crank alley. Here all kinds of in- fluence were brought to bear upon him to cause him to speak, but without avail. He also refused to have his hair cut, and when released yesterday morning his hair was measured and was found to be fifty-four ches in | in lengt! When relieved of his prison garb a smile ple spoke to him, but he only grinned. Once outside the prison gate Cunningham made up for lost time. He condemned every one around the prison for his confinement. When asked how he managed to controi himself and preserve an unbroken silence for so many years, he angrily replied that be had no explanation to make. —————_+e-—_.
