Installation of Graad Lodge Officers Special Correspondence. ; Raleigh, "N. C, JatfTlS. The install ation of the new officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons was a very hand- aofce ceremony; The Installing officer wa tne retiring Grand Master, Fran- ' c,a D- Winston. X' E.

It would be interesting to take up each Stale add comment on their splendid exhibits, but I have not time to do so, and will have to take a hurried and very Incomplete glance at only a few. ' Beginning, with South' Carolina?! cannot too highly commend her nota ble display of products, especially hef cotton. High up on the wall, In large and legible words she declared her self the second State in the Union ln cotton manufacturing, enumerating her 442 looms, her 3,360,857 spin dles, and proudly boasted of the $102, 000,000 she-had Invested in -"' cotton nyils, and her annual product of 75, 000,000 In. finished goods.-' Proud re cord Indeed fOr our progressive sister State, and we bid her 'God speed on ward and upward. r 5 : . : California . Was represented by only two of her counties, Los Angeles and Sn Diego, but ber immense lucious fruit and peanut display was in he highest degree, both lavish and credi table, "'v:' ; 1 ' ' j Oklahoma, our new State, was not much, If any, behind California in her great fruit exhibit and her corn and cotton display was good.' . Missouri too, was another, State that closely competed with California, in her proud fruit exhibit and hr corn was splendid indeed. " Georgia was especially exaltaht over her cotton and corn display, and well she might for they were Just superb. She had two stalks of cotton there, one well developed and grown bolls, the fleecy staple hlt&gjng in profus ion from the burrs. Her corn was the best on exhibition." V" Mississippi Justly comes in for a large mead of praise for ber splendid exhibits of cotton etc. Mr." Charles Scott of Bolivia County, one 'of her successful and patriotic ' sons, had there six beautiful dressed bales of cotton, two in white, two In red, and two in blue, representing" the inspir ing coirs of the nation's flag. Connecticut had 'a most capital ex hibit of corn, and stood next to Geor gia in superiority of this farm pro duct --She-bad sixty varieties and some of these had ears. 14 Indies long, Her Deuts and Learnings were unriv alled. .." v''-- j Thus I have mentioned only a few products of only a few States, but I am not to be understood to intimate that the other States, especially Vir ginia, were not worthy of most hon orable mention for every State there exhibited the wealth of their mills, and mines, and fields, and ' forest most worthily.' But I can not pursue this line further. ' .' ' i ' Among the usefut and very conven lent provisions of the exhibition is the Mothers and Ch'ildrens Building la our Western Division, where par ents leavj their little children In the hands of competent and careful nurses while they stroll over the grounds This building Is 60x100 feet provid ed with a library and play-ground, The Philippine Reservation, located In ouj- Eastern Division, represented three classes of people in the far a-; wfty Philippine Island. , These people ware brought over from their Eastern homes by the U. 8. Government and are paid and maintained at the na tion's expense. Plllpplnes proper are civilized, talk Intelligent have straight blackjtair, and complexion of bright mulatto or Mexican. Huts, such" as they liye In at home have been erect ed, and much of their products of their country are on exhibition- , The women were spinning and weav ing silks, and tho' , the looms were operated by band, very rapid and most 'excellent work In done, and flue fab ribs are. produced. The only vehicle we. saw was a clumsey farm cart with I solid mahogany wheels without tires. Everything was . ancient in character except the musical instruments the mandolin, violin and guitar, ..The Ph l;?pino8trlng Baud, com posed of 13 performers, played with greatest ease and mide the sweetert and most entrancing music we heard. The Moros, an uncivilised tribe, were much datfcej complexion than ;the Phiiipplnos, and were far below them In intelligence and all that mk3 up the advantages, and products of civilised living. . " ., : i I Their musical instruments were composed of crude metal pottery bung on poles, made to emit differ ent sounds by hitting different slsed pottery with a metal Club. You can guess this was more harsh and grat ing than music to civilised ears, r I talked freely with a member of the Phlllpplno Band, Who expressed him self highly pleased with our country, and said he would remain here. The chief objection he advanced against his eastern home, was Its disagreea ble hot climate. ' Many beautiful articles of handwork were for sale, including the silk pro ducts of their looms. We saw lying In the yard a clam shell that gave an idea of the wealth of food in the Iwators of thnt It nway trf ' nl and t"W t' ! t to eat and grow tor though only one hside of this clamwas represented, it weighed over 60 pounds. .

She came on the stage and bowed, to the audience, and then was told to walk like a proud horse which aha did with the stately 4fi,ihatouli .puttoshame. the hu man dude in his stiffest manners. She was next asked to walk like an old worn-out horse, which she did to the amusement of all,. She then with each foot whirled arouhd a revolving stool, and then stood on the stool with both feet and was turned tround several times by her master. The stool was kbout 18 or" 20( Jjnch.es square. SRe jext sat clown on ahalr as grace full as you or I Vould do. She as .hen asked by some of the audience to, ipell Charles. She went to a basket Kh the alphabet In letters on separ ate letters on (separate blocks and took in her mouth block after block with .he proper letters, on them and gave them to her master. She was then asked to spell Eva. Her master had not put the letters with which she pelt Charles in the basket, but threw ihem down on the floor. She know ing that there was no "E" in the bas ket, went to the blocks' on the floor and, picked out the E there. She was aext asked ' to spell Fred, which she lid. She was asked by her master .ieverai questions that showed she knew something about arithmetic. Crowds were coming in during the performance, and. she was asked how many children, women and men com po'sed this and that entrance, and she accurately picked out tho numbers of each. She Was asked to tell how much change there wcmld be lettlout of. a certain sum after those that were he.i coining in had paid for their tickets, and sh was accurate in the calculation, and went to the money box and handed her master the right change. This was! done -several times and demonstrated to -all there, that she could do simple sums in subtrac tion and multiplication. She was asked jo look at a watch and tell time of lay. This she, did several times no one seeing the watch but lh3 party front tie audience and Trixie. ' j She was asked to pick out the pret- j uei mqy on a certain row oi seats. Scraps of every, olor were thrown down on the floor, and she picked up the scrap corresponding to the color cf the. lady's dres?. In this way "she repeatedly told the color of bats, plumes etc. Lastly, she was asked to pick out the' best looking, man, but she carried' to her master the figure nought, saying there were no bestj looking man.

Yisiied The Negro Section Houses Owned By Isaac Smith And Were of The Better Sort-Bad Show of Hose. Last night between 7:30 and 8 o' clock, fire broke out in one. of ' the negro tenements on Ash street The origin of the fire was not learned, but -before the fire department could reach the scene, which was located near the west end of the city, over a mile from the city hall, the fire had gained a headway which could not be controlled. The buildings In that sec tion are close together,, and the flames communicated from one house to the other with such rapidity that it was with the greatest difficulty that the household goods coirld be saved. In two houses it is said that the goods were entirely destroyed and in the others thej- were Jiadly damaged by water. The Gllfleld Baptist Church, Rev. Coward; pastor, which was on the line of the burdning houses, caught on fire twice but it was saved by heroic work. A store was destroyed also, but most of the goods were saved' The build ings were of the better sort of negro tenement, and were, owned by Isaac Smith. They were mostly two story structures. The loss as near as could be learned last night will be about $5,000 and there was no information available as to insurance. The Journal's attention was called to a really deplorable condition. When the wagons returned from the fire, there was on one wagdn 450 feet of hose and on the other 600 feet Should fire break out during the night and there should be only that amount of hose to use, it would, not bs strange at all if very serious consequences should account of this very lack. There is a necessity for more, atten tion to this department o fthe city service, and the supply of all needful equipment Ready to Oppose Taft New York, Jan. 15. The annual meeting of the American Protective Tariff League, to be held Thursday, at No. 399 Broadway, will develop strong antagonism to Secretary Taft's plan for the free entry of sugar and tobacco from the Philippines. It also t probable that the league's position regarding the next Republican presi dential nominee will be defined. v During the past year the "stand pat ters" have consistently opposed the candidacy of the secretary of war on the ground that he is in favor of tariff reduction or absolute free trade with the Philippines. Further than this, this, the guiding spirts of the tariff league are convinced that Mr. Taft If elected to the presidency, will be practically a free trader. . Wilbur P. WaKeman, general secretary and treas urer of the. league, acknowledged yes terday that subjects , of '. exceptional Importance will come before the meet ing for consideration. Mr. Wakeman declined to say what action regarding the,. Taft candidacy will be taken, nor was he morecom munlcative regarding the position to l e taken by the tariff league. It is understood, however, that the annual riectlng will reaffirm previous plat fjrms antagonistic to free trade With the Philippine or tariff revision "down ward." . ;v iv; - ' . v.'V :.--r ' ; ft Is also expected- that the league will placo Itself in favor of a-revision, "upward."

The Grand Lodge of Masons showed an increase of attendance today and the reports were finished. The attendance is be Iwe'en 500 and G00. The quarters are ery much crowded. The next session will be heldin the Temple where there will be a spacious auditorium. The members are delighted that the weather Is so fine; as frequently it is very bad during the annual communi cations. It is learned that State Treasurer Lacy, now in Arizona, Is expected to return here late in Auril or early in May. The improvement of his health has been simply wonderful. The meeting of the Anti-Saloon League in convention here next Tues day will be quite a demonstration", llaleigh will be very lljoly next week and there, is a great demand for quar tars. Most of the members of the leg islature have secured rooms. There will be many politicians and lawyers on hand, while to be sure the railways will have a large representation. 1. has been stated that no one can tell how long ttie legislature will be in session. Some people go so far as to say they think It will sit the entire 20 days, that being the limit under the constitution, but this really seems absurd, aB the business ought to be disposed of in 6 days anyway. The more prevalent opinion Is that a week will cover everything. . , Governor Glenn left this mornlnlg for Washington to attend a very im portant meeting of tho commissioners cf the various States to the Jamestown Exposition, the object being to secure the sale of the entire property to the United States government for a naval cr military school, this taking with it ail the State buildings.

The app'ointement of E. C. Duncan as co-receiver of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, gives satisfaction to business Interests. - : '. " The sheriff of this county speaking today about prohibition, said he b-e llev ed the legislature would pass a sweeping law, not submitting it to a vote of the people. He said the people want State wide prohibition; In fact demand it, and that he has never seen such a demand.
