In the evening the convention took up the consideration of the reports of the finance and library committees, which were made a special order of business. The finance committee—H. P. Bush, chalr- man; L. Lippman and Philip Flatow—re- ported that for the first time in many years there was a net balance in the Grand Lodge fund, which amounts to $249 16, arising from excess of per capita tax and unexpended appropriations. This announcement was received with great applause. In its report the library committee—H. Enkle, chairman; Max Goldberg and Wal- lace A. Wise—said: “We are pleased to be able to state that the library is constant- ly widening its sphere of usefulness, and that its patronage is steadily on the in- crease. The committee has purchased all books on Jewish subjects obtainable. Dur- ing the year many valuable additions have been made to the reference depart- A set of works on the natural ences has been added, and these, taken with the encyclopedic educational volumes on hand, constitute a working li- brary sufficient for the requirements of advanced students.” The treasurer of the library committee showed receipts of $2005 83 and disburse- ments of $19%7 74. There are 10572 vol- umes in the library and the circulation during eleven months was 22,321. The_ officers for the ensuing year will be elected to-morrow afternoon at o'clock. Lucius L. Solomons will un- doubtedly be chosen grand president and George Samuels first vice president, There is considerable friendly rivairy for the position of second vice president, which s the stepping stone to the highest honor in the gift of the Grand Lodge, that of grand president. It is extremely prob- able, however, that all the candidates will retire in favor of Marcus Rosenthal. ENGLAND HAS NO BIRTHDAY. 8 The Only Country in the World Without a National Holiday. There is one country in the world, and one only, which has no birthday or national holiday. Nor is that country in | some remote corner of the map—it is Eng- land. _Although the Queen’s birthday May' 24—is annually celebrated in royal hion, it {s not a national holiday, ani glishmen and women have at last aroused themselves to the fact that they are quite alone in this respect, “What day shall we choose for our na- they are now asking. “Shall it be the Queen’s birthday or the day of her ascending the throne, or any day which she herself shall name?” There was a movement not long ago to bring forward St. George's day as the na- tion’s birthday, St. land's patron saint. ferent countries all have very good and substantial reasons for being.

The occasion was an impor- tant one and was marked with fervent prayer, beautiful music and an elo- quent sermon. Services were conducted by Rev. H. \.oods, 8. J., the zealous and learned spiritual director of the league in San Francisco. An appropriate g3 song by the choir opened the cere- |'¢ monies, after which prayers were of- | fered. Father Woods then ascended | the pulpit and delivered an earnest |4 talk_on the significance of the statue and the reasons why it should be rev- % erenced by members. He called atten- g tion to the manner in which the 4 hands were uplifted to heaven in $8 supplication, and used this point to ¥ cmphasize that Christ pleaded for 8 their knowledge of his divine heart & and the love In which he holds man- Y kind. ¢ At the conclusion of his strong ad- dress Father Woods read a number of prayers and blessed the statue with holy water. The services were con- cluded with the singing of a hymn. The statue is a rare work of art by Delen Freres, the celebrated Parisian sculptor.

Curious Story of the Way British Officers Protect Themselves. To the uninitiated the days of armor have long since gone, but a_visit to a certain firm situated in the West End of London will r the fact that hundreds | of vests of mafl are sold annually to offi- | | cers in the British army. The maker is | & well-known gunsmith, and a large por- | tion of his income is derived not from | | manufacturing guns, but through the sale | of armor to officers. As a general rule the malil is inclosed in a leather casing, which is sewn inside the tunic, so as to be invisible unless the garment 1s picked to pieces. And the | | same with helmets—a similar device is | fixed as lining so as to_give additional | protection in case of need. Some officers are not above wearing mail vests under- neath their tunics and perfectly obvious | to their comrades, who, although they | may scoft in time of peace, would be only | too glad to don one themseives when in the middle of hostilitles. | The majority of the maker's customers | | are officers, because the suits are very ex- “n(-nsi\'t-. costing about $51 each. Neverthe- | some “Tommies” are prepared to spend that amount In order to insure hemselves to a certain extent against the s spent bullets. Against a modern fired at short distance, of course, | these 'suits of armor are next to useless, although they may be instrumental in | turning its course or stopping its pene- trating power. During the Chinese-Japaness war of 95 the maker in question sent out Sev- hundred suits of armor, which were | gerly bought up by the combatants at a heavy price. During the American war of last year he did the same thing; it was not so “successful, for he found he had | been forestalled by Yankee firms, and such officers in the American army as had ntended going in for suits of mail had al- | ready obtained them. He then offered his | | g0ods to the Spaniards, who proved to be | good customers and were prepared o pay | a good price for the luxury. | A notable instance of the value of mall | occurred during the battle of Omdurman, | | last September. One officer, who is well | known, got into the thick of the fight and | was slashed on all sides by the dervishes. His men were surprised to see that he had escaped all the force of the blows, expect- ing to see him fall from his horse every | minute, a mass of wounds. After the bat- | | tle was over, however, he appeared per- | fectly unscathed, except for a few slight | wounds on the chest. Then he revealed the suit of mail which covered him and to e LABOR AND INDUSTRY. Wisconsin's tobacco crop will yleld $5,- About $50,000,000 worth of rubber was ex- ported from Brazil last year.
