Delegates to this session of the grand lodge were arriving by different trains yesterday and there will be from 200 te 300 in attend- an The report of the grand recorder, H. M. Warring, will show a very gratifying increase in membership and statistical items of valu he average age of those who have died during the past term is thirty-three years; the average length of membership, one year, six months and nine days; the average time clapsed from death to payment, one month and twenty-six 8; average nge of member- ship January 1, 1887, thirty-five years and seven months; membership at the com. mencment of the term, 2I81; sus- pended during the term, 636; ex- pelled, 4; total, 610; remitted during term, 245; net suspension during term, 895; admitted to membership during term, 1,704; total membership May 1, 8,550; net increuse in membership dur: ing term, 1,367; percentage of increase, 62 The summary of general fund is: Col- lected and paid to grand receiver, $9,- 279.61; paid out on 143 warrants, aggre- ating $8,080.81, leaving a balunce of 1,184.80.

J HE WHO FIGHTS AND RUNS AWAY, Mayor Sawyer stepped from the Ne- brasks City train at the depot yesterday twelve hours after the close of the day that he had set in force proscription laws. The bandbox mayor evidently be- lieved in the old adage that ‘‘he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day,” for he uttered his pronun- ciamento Friday, ordered the chief of po- lice to entorce it, and on Saturday folded s tent and betook himself from the city until the storm had‘ blown over. In the midst of such expres- pions of bravery in enforcing laws it would have looked better in the lord mayor to have remuined on the field of battle and received at short ranze afew of the compliments of the day rather than go into the ‘‘marine hos- pital’ at Nebraska City before enfor ment commenced, In this connection it was stated yester- day that the city attorney was also out of town, whose duty it is to draw up and prosecuto these complaints, and inquiry at police headquarters showed at noon that no warrants were out. The mayor should cither braceup or let a reasonable republican council help him out; and that without trying to lay itall to the council n advance. » STATE HOUSE NOTES. To-morrow the board of educational Jands and funds will meet at the commis- sioner’s office. One of the questions for settlement will be the petition for the ap- praisement of school iauds in Sioux county. A The meeting of county superinten- dents called by State Superintendent Lane will be held at the office of the latter in the capitol building on the 13th. Itis important that all county superinten- dents in this section of the stato attend. Amended articles of incorporation of the Smith Bros. loan and trust company of Beatrice have been filed with the sec- retary of state. BASE BALL GAMES, When the Lincoln club returned from Omaha on Sunday evening a large dele- gation of base ball enthusiasts met them at the depot and escorted them up town. The victory of the club was somewhat ) unexpected and created great enthusi- asm. Sunday evening the Denver club arrived from the west and took ue) quar- ters at the Capital hotel. The club will meet the Lincolns for the second time this season at the base ball grounds to-day for a series of three games. The new cyclone pitcher purchased from the Phil- adelphia league team is expected dmly, when the Lincoln battery will be greatly strengthened. THE THIRD AUCTION SALE. The third auction sale of city lots was held yesterday afternoon and attended by aiarge crowd. The sale was of Smith Park mlfi Mr, Frank ition lots owned b{ Y L. Sheldon, of the street rallway line, and free cars carried all to the edge of the addition who desired to attend the sale. ‘The sale seomed to be lberally patron- ized and prices received were satisfac- tory. Lnfact, all the auction sales thus far held have shown a tendency to strengthen rather than weaken prices in Lincoln realty and put money in the purse ot those making sales. POST A. LINCOLN. Post A. of the Travelers' Protective as- sociation, has been in suecesstul opera- tion since September last. At the meet- ing of the post Saturday evening the questiou of reorganization independent of the national organization was under discussion and a motion was made tosur- render the charter. The question, after discussion, went over until 4 o'clock Sun- day, when an adjourned session was had. At'th hl||m|rn<-\l meoting it was decided to surrender the charter, and the prop- erty belonging to the Y‘M was turned over in trust to Sam D. Leland untul the new club is organized. The committee to prepare the new constitution and by- lIawsis Messrs. John M. Callon, H. A, Houghton, Colonel A. P. Martin, F. A, Falkenburg and Sam D. Leland, and they are to report at a meeting to be held at the club room next Saturday evening. This new organization will be led the Merchant Travelers' club and it will be enlarged so that any good citizen may join regardless of occupation, Business men, clerks, traveling men and profes- sioual men are especially invited to join, POLICE COURT, “You see, your worship,” said an old veteran in the army of Bacchus, as he planted himself before the police judge T was just waiting to see a man before ing to me supper, and, your worship, fowau't drunk at all, you see.” His wor- ship, however, felt ditfercutly on the sub- ject, and after hearing the testimony of the ofticer making the arrest he assessed the usual fine. One inebriate, over Sun- day in the jail, begged also for leriency. His excuse was that he bad been on'a spree, but was perfectly sober when ar- rested, just being abroad at 8 a. m. be- causo he thought he was going to have a touch of the tremens and he couldn't sleep. aen and costs were assessed agamnst him. The tired-looking young tramp who was locked up as a suspect at the time of the Saturday fire plead gul to being a yagrant and was fined ) and costs. There was no evidence to ¢ show that he had any hand in the con- flagration. Sevon others were before the magistrate for intoxication, but as they were new offendcrs they were fined the ‘owest limit. A CITY OF IDOLS. A Thousand Horrible Idols Which Hrandish Bloody Arms Inthe Afr, In Kioto, the holy city, the astonsh- ment of astonishments for me is the tem- ple of the Thirty-Three Cubits,also called the temple of a Thousind Gods, con- ceived eight centuries ago by I know not what mystic in delirium, who must have had proaigions means of execution at his disposal, says a writer in the New Orleans limes-Democrat. This temple resembles no other; neither altars, nor perfume banners, nor sacred inclosures; ten stages of terraces, h 200 or 300 fect long— something like an enormous se circus seats—upon which a legion of gods, from all imaginary sanctuaries, from every empyrean, should have com to take their pluces to watch some avoca- Iyptic performances, some crumbling down of worlds. In the miast, in the place of honor— upon the open flower of a golden lotus, vast as the base of a tower—sits throned a colossal Buddha of gold, before a gol den mimbus deployed behind him Tike the outspread tail of a monstrcus pea cock, He is surrounded, guarded, by a score of m{mmam shapes, something in likeness of human form, exaggerately huge, and seceming to res le at once both demons and corpses.

SR b 0 O SN e R ba very THE OMAHA DAILY BEE TUESDAY. MAY 10. 1887.4 T0 THE WEST, T0 THE WEST! Henry Russell, the Author of 800 Popula Ballads, SENTIMENTAL SONG SCORES. Great Composer of Small Scales— Songs With Patti— Prices for *Woodman, Spare That Tree.” A writer in the Chicago Times thus speaks of Henry Russell,the famous song writer: Those who were residents in the old country a quarter of a century ago, or perhaps even a little farther back,will remember that certain songs were sung everywhere, which had a marvelous in- fluence on the imagination, and some of which, no doubt, greatly colored the vouthful conception of what this western hemisphereis. It may be almost cer- tainly believed that the songs of Henry Russell led many an aspiring youth to determine on ving home for these The writer can remember, as if but yester inging on the Pent- land hills on a bright and bappy holiday the lines which begin: ‘I'o the west, to the west, to the land of the shores. free, Where the mighty Missouri rolls down to the sen, Where aman s a man 1f he's willing to toil, And the humblest may gather the fruits of the soil, What a glorious vision, even in dear old Scotland, those words summed up! And perhaps no dream of boyhood’s days was ever founded on more of actual re- ality. Does the reader know who Henry Russell is—the author of the music to “Woodman, Spare That Tree,”” and the » famous “‘Cheer, Boys, Cheer?” [ mber well the Fourth regiment hing down the high street of Edin- burg starting for the Crimean war, some- where over thirty years ago. Alas! how ads lived te e home again. As they marched, clean, strong, and bright, if not gay, it was that aiv the band played: Cheer, boys, cheer—no more of idle sorrow. Its author at any rate it still alive, halo and hearty, a man of seventy-four sum- mers. Probably the best known monument in Boulogne 1s the Napoicon column. Quite as familiar to the townspeople and resi- dents is the face of Henry Russell. But to the large number of persons wno en- joy the acquuintance of the genial old gentleman, of rather miltary appear- ance, that face simply is welcome as the face of an agreeable friend. Few are aware that the white hat covers the head of a man who was a giant among entertainers and one of the most successful composers of our tury, if lasting popularity may be considered the criterion of success. HIS FIRST SPART. Henry Russel made bis name when comparatively a young man, and wus entertaining as early as_1833. He was born at Sheerness. “Yes, I started at Rochester, New York sta an organ- ist. The pay was & pittance. I deter- mined to try New York. [ mademy debut there at the old music hall; it was inthat hall that all the best concerts were given, 1 may say now, and say 1t without brag, or what we call in Ameriea ‘blow," that the eftect of my descriptive songs was great from their and certainly they did extraordinary sion—in a f my pile quickly and y vested $30,000 1n the United States bank. The bank collapsed almost immediately, and my competence disuppeared at one blow. "I was again plunged 0 com- purative poverty. One day I was walk- ing along Broadway; I was nearly penni- less and much depressed. I heard a man grinding one of my tunes on a barrel organ. I was pleased naturally and ni pulse quickened. Had his* organ becn made in the States? The organ-grinder was an Italian. I addressed him, ‘Di che parte venite tu?’ ‘De Parma,signor.’ ‘Et qui s fatto quel organo?’ ‘A Briming- ham, signor.” Two of the airs the man was playing were “Woodman, Spare that Tree,” and “The Ivy Green"—two of my airs. I grasped the situation, My songs had beecome popular in England. BEFORE THE FOOTL “I started for the old country at once. In three or four weeks 1 was offered a good engagement by Beale, the im- ilrcsnrlm It wus for a tour of six months. Patti, Dobler, Lablache and his wife were members of the company. The terms were muniticient; I need not say I closed with the offer at once. That tour Was AN enormous success, Atits termina- tion 1 was oftered an engagement on still better terms, but I had determined to give an entertainment and be my own master. My only predecessor in this hine had been Foote, Dibdin, the elder Matthews, and Yates. I opened at Han- over Square 10oms; crowded houses fol- lowed. ‘The Gambler,’ ‘The Ship on Fire," ‘The Maniac' were the talk of the town; in f L was a draw. My pre- vious experience as an organist was of great help to me, Iam of opimon that, the time being altered, any well known sacred song is certain of popularity Possibly the old tunes come back to us. I can give you several instances of this. The hundredth psalm played quickly produces ‘Old Dan Tucker.” Several of my best known airs arose from this dis- covery. Iremember that 1 first arrived at this conclusion when idly running my ig‘u gers over my orgun keys at Rochester, *‘1 suppose 1 stirred the audiences con- lh(ur:\biv. On one occasion [ wasinvited to Han to give a benefit entertainment for the Staffordshire potters, who were in much distress. After I had sung my song, “There's a Good Time Coming, Boys: Wait a Little Longer,’ aman in the crowd rose excitedly and shou ‘Mus- ter Russell, can ix the toime?' An- other workman the reserved seats stood up and quickly said: ‘Shut oop, man; Muster Russell’ll write to ye.' t Newcastle-on-Tyne I gave the ‘Gambler’s Wife.” 1may tell you that the wife is awaiting the gambler’s return. The clock strikes 1—the clock strikes 8—the clock strikes 8. ~ As the clock strikes 4 the young wife, clasping her child to her bosom, dies 1 hopeloss despair. A woman stood up in my audience and em- hatically declaimed in a shrill shriek: 'Oh, Mr." Russell, if it had been me, wouldn’t I have fetched him home!’ " “WOODMAN SPARE (e In earher days, as he was singin “Woodman Spare That Tree,” an old gentleman cried: ‘‘Mr. Russell was the tree spared? ‘It was sir,”’ was the an- swer. ‘“‘Thank God for that!" he ex- olaimed with a sigh of relief. The real- istic character of Mr. Russell's songs, and the impression of actuality which they gave the minds of the pe‘(m;-lu are shown in another anecdote. n the “Newfoundland Dog' being sung,—a piece which described the dog saving a child's life,—a north countryman ex- claimed: ‘““Was thc child saved, mon?'’ “It was, sir.”” With the anxious look of one asking a great favor the man asked: “Could ye get me a pup?” Henry Russol has written the music to between seven hundred aund eight hun- dred longln the words of many of them bumg.by ‘hokeny and Dickens, Charles Mackay, Tennyson, Longfellow, George P. Morris, and even the immortal Tup- per. Many of these songs are engraved on the hearts of the English n‘)euking race. Probably such songs as “Cheer, Boys, Cheer,"” will never die, although it is extremely difficult i such matters to predict’ immortality with any certainty. It is quite certain that many songs seemingly of every qual- ity requisite to securé pérmanent lodg- ment in the popular mind, do perish un- accountably, while] others thrive vigor- ously that oughtn’t to, so far as one can i\..m.-. I'he composition of songs in M Ruescli's early days not renuierati work. The composer got very small pay indeed, and royalties in ‘those days did not exist, VALUE OF OLD TIME 80N To show the real value of a popular 8ong as a commercial article, it may ;be mentioned that over a law suit concern- ing the “Old Arm-Chair’—words b Eliza Cook,musie by Henry Russell—with which, however, neither individual had anything to do—the sum, of $85,000 was expended! A good “Old Arm-Chair” for the lawyers, at any rate. It is interest- ing to note the prices Henry Russell got forsome of his most famous songs. For *“I'ne Ship on Fire' h pard $5; fo he Maninc,” & he Gambler’: s Wife.” §5; “The Ivy Green,” “There’s a Good Time Coming, $10; “‘Cheer, Cheer,” §15 Slave Ship," $5; “Man the Life-Boat, $2.50; “Woodman, Spare That Tree," $10. Over two hundred songs were written by him gratutiously. Of course he made his money by singing his own songs,but in doing so heiaade them so immensclypopu- lar that the publishers reaped a splen- did harvest. They were not always un- grateful. On going down to the store of ebrated music-seller to inquire how is song of “Cheer, Boys, Cheer,” was oing, the gratifying reply was: “We > thirty-nine presses at work on it day and nignt.” ‘The publisher in this case did not forget the author, sending him a magnificent plateau with the sim- ple inseription, ‘‘Cheer, Boys, Cheer,” and a handsome check. His success as a composer of negro melodies was kable. After Rice's “Jump, his were the most popular of all negro songs. ‘‘Buf- falo Girls” and “Going Ober de Moun- tains' are examples. Russel says that his great obji in those days of disc tent was to make the workingman less hostile to the capitalist and the capitalist appreciate the workingman—thus con- verting music and poetry into « mears of creating friendly feeling between an- tagonistic classes. STORY OF BRAHAM. Henry Russel himself cluims that he was an apostle of emigration, and that *“To the West, to the Wost” was the orig- inal cause of many a man's good fortune in far-off lands. As may be imagined from his extensive and varied experience, as well as his un- failing flow of spirits, he has been a great story teiler, and the following he gives as having happened on one ocea- sion when he was present at a London theater: Scene—A forest, with village Landlord discovered. Enter Brah: Landlord—What brings thee hithe: this deadly hour of the night? Braham (mysteriously)—1 have wan- dered here through the dense forest in search of one great object; that object is my father. Landlord—Thy father® Braham. my father. But that voice! [ know its tones;: they linger on my ears with a musical sweetness t never can be erased from my memory Landlord—W hat meaas this? Braham (striding toward him and offer- ing to embrace him—Yes, you are my father. Landlord—Nay, never! 3 inn. at Iam not your Braham (piteously)—Then who is my fathery L At this point a little Jew arose in the pit, greatly agitated; ‘I know him vell,” he said s name is Aby Punch, and he comes from the lane.” '(Petticoat lanc.) Braham, utterly staggered, stood help- less, while the” audienca screamed with delight. The opera was played out to laughing crowds. Many bore witness to the truth of the little Jew's statement, testifying: ~ **We all know'd, but he’s ashamed of it, he is."” A cockney audience of a certain class scoms to be exceedingly “previous;” such incidents would be impossible in Chicago, anyhow or anywhere. Braham, it may be statec, was a well known singer of the time, ————— MONEY IN THE MOUNTAINS. Rich Discovery of freasurein a North Carolina Cave. I metin Richmond the other day the old man who was known in western North Carolina and western Virginia as the “Trensure Hunter,” and when 1 urged a strong desire to know how he came by his title he expressed a willingness to sit down for a talk. “To begin with,”” he said, “I ama sin- gle man, and have no relatives in Amer- ica. I came from England in 1872 and intended to buy land and settle down at Greensboro, N. C. At Petersburg, Va., while enroute, [ was taken sick and rob- bed of my money, some §6,000, and when I reached Greensboro 1 had only about $75 left. I was naturally broken up and discouraged, and after a little time I drifted into the mountain range to the west of Statesville, found a comfortable caye n which to live, and became a hunter-hermit. For the first three months I saw only two human faces. I became accustomed to this wild and solitary life, and entered the towns only when driven to do so by want of provisions or ammu- niti on. It was one day in 1873 that I encoun- tered a hunter in the mountains who told me that [ was regarded by the outside worlid as a treasure-hunter,and that there wa s much curiosity concerning my move- ments. It had been reported that I had found a box of gold in a cave, and a score of men were searching the ranges in the hopes of meeting h luck, ‘his was the first time the idea of treasure had crossed my mind. In my rough jaunts I had discovered several caves, but had not stopped to explore any of them, as [ Liad not thought that they had ever been occupied by men. When I separated from the hunter, who appeared to be a very honest man, I sat nPown to wonder if it were possible for lirek to come back to me through some rich find, and though I smiled at the thought when it first came up, 1 s00n became deeply ‘interested, and that night I searcely siept: for speculat- ing on what might turnfiup. ‘Bright and early neytaorning I was off up the range to the northwest, having as my objective point a pave which I il discovered months beforg in the Iron Mountains, southwest of Morgantown. It took me a day and a ni” to reach 1t, for it was in summer, u%“ ,the mountains were covered with plants, roots and vines to obstruct travel. The mouth of the cave was under an ovgrhanging ledge, where I had crept for shiglter froma fierce 8 rain storm, and before 1gaving the neigh- borhood I entered it far enough to see that it was u very roomy place, and that fires had been built thcfé" at some time by the hands of man. "It secemed Lo me as I pursued my journey that this cave would be more likely than any other to contain somefhing, but the nearer I came to 1t the more ridiculous seemed the idea of treasure. Refugees and deserters from the confederate army no doubt sought the mountains for hiding places, and after the war they werc infestcd by outlaws and moonshiners. I might possibly find a rusty gun or knife, but I could hope for nothing more, “I came tothe spot about noon of the second day, and to tell you the truth I was quite disgusted with myself for be- ing carried away as I had been. Ibult a fire, cooked a partridge I had shot, and made no move toward entering the cave for a couple of hours. Then I forced my- t my better judgment to pre- or four torches and- light one and enter the place. The opening was about as large as a hogshead,but scareely 5 had I gone ten feet when the cave became a chamber. There was a pretty strong draft coming out of it,proving thatit had another opening, and the floor and sides were as dry as a bone. It was a_good vlace for snakes and varmints and I pro- ceeded very cautiously on that account ‘“I'he firebrands 1 had previously dis- coverd had been disturbed. The fire had been built just at the entrance of a circalar chamber which must have been twenty-five feet across, and the draught would take all the smoke out of the mouth of the cave and scatter it among the thick pines, I found not only a large heap of ashes and charred brands, but a pile of fagots which had been laid aside and never burned. Near by were amoldy old haversack, a heap of mold represent- ing a woolen blanket, an army belt, a rusty revolyer, a bayonet, a lot of bones of birds and animals, and a pair of boots which had become useless to the owner re he threw them away. “It was plain enough that outlaws, de- serters or rencgades had made this cave their hiding place, and I began to look for further relics. 1 started to the right and circled the chamber just half, and then came to a narrow passngeway lead- ing into a second chamber. 1 went bac and circled to the left, but found nothing untl I ain reached the passage. Loav- ing a torch burning in the outer chamber I lighted another and passed into the next. The rift or passageway was about ten feet long, and there was almost enough draught here to extinguish my torch, temperature of the cave stood at about 50 degrees, while that of the summer day outside was fully 85 degrees. I found the second chamber to be an almost square room, measuring, I should think, 16x24. The floor was not so even &s that of the other, nor was the roof as high, The draught came out of & rift of blowhoie in the roof, but I could not lo- cate the exact spot. I had scarcely en- tered the place before 1 knew that an im- portant discovery was on the tapis. There was a bundle of clothes against the rocky side, and two guns, which 1 after- ward found to be shotguns of ancient leaned againt the side. [ ap- ched the heap of stuft’ and began aring it to pieces with foot. The les were better preserved than in the other room, probably cause the room was drier, and because they were directly in the draught of the pure air. One of the first things 1 kicked aside was a small leather trunk, provided with handles like a valise, and used asa valise. It was of English make, and while it must have been many years ola before it ] saw the cave, and had probably been there for several years, the “leather was still in good condition and the lock all right. " There were in addi- ion to the suchel two iron kettles, some tin and crockery dishes, some rough cut- lery,two or thrée blankets and buefi]um.s. a sharp and rusty butcher knife, a suit of rough clothes, a coarse pair of shoes, evi- dently worn by a female, and a small wooden box in which I found buttons of various sizes and necedles and thread. That two or three persons had occupied the cave in company, and that one of them was a woman there could be no room for doubt. “The trunk was the only thing likely to contuin any object of vaiue, and 1 car- ried it out through both caves into day- light. Its weight led me to believe th ishes or cutlery, and be- K the lock and get a ts, I became so nerv- a tremble. It was a minute or two before 1 dared to inspect the contents. Then I took out several towels, two white skirts, two or three fine handkerchiefs, and then came to two buckskin bags, which 1 knew contained money. One was much the iarger, and this I opened first, and found it contained silver coins, most of them dollars and halves of American coinage, though there were, perhaps, fifty Mex- jcan pieces, the other contained gold pieces, the denominations running up to twenties and down to fives, There was altogether #7,068.60. When 1 got over my excitement I went back and carefully examined every thing, hoping to get some clew to the people who had occu- pied the cave, but found nothing what- ever to give me information. I could reason that the people had fled from their homes, ng all their wealth, but how many there were or what became of them, were questions no one could answer, The money was not mine if the rightful owners were alive, but I spent six weeks making inquiries, and learnéd nothing. I then invested the money in lands, which I own to-day, and, although 1 am no longer n hermit and cave-dweller, the title of Treasure Hunter still sticks to me, and many regard me as a wizard."’ SACOBS O], CONQUERS PAIN. 2 After a lapse of years slatements conflrmin the eficucy of & Jacobs Ol Gnd Us' permanen cures, are given belo Ex-Prest.

Hardly a week passes without the men tion by the newspapers of sudden deaths, and of late the alarming frequency of the statement that death was caused by rheu- matism or neuralgia of the heart” cannot fail to have been noticed. In all probabil- ity many deaths attributed to heart discase arc caused by these terrible diseases whic h are far more dangerous than is generally considered, Is there any positive cure? The best answer o such a question is given by those who have been cured by the usc of Athlophoros. i,nm: Pine, Neb, Aug.11, 1886, T suffered for years with neuralgia in my head, neck and face, and have spent, T know, over $100 in trying to find some medicine to relieve me, and found only temporary relief in anything I tried unti I eaw an advertisement of Athlophoros, I gave relief at once,and after using on, bottle and a half I found lasting relief. It helped and cured me where all other reme- dies failed, I have recommended it to several of my friends with like good result, I have not had a return of the disease since taking the Athlophoros over two years ago.
