RALEIGH ORPHAN BOY WINS HONORS jas Classes in GoNM -ro Graded Sc'iofh ()TD FELLOW'S COLUMN The Raleigh Boy Was at the 1J Fellow's Orphanage and Won inn I niversity Scho'arshlp- An line esting Col ir n f r Members. Encouraging news comes in from several sources this week. Dr. J. O. Walker, of Randlemati, writes that we may expect better re turns from his section than ever be fore. The Secretary at Gastonia says that we may expect a wonderful change for the better in that section. We are expecting strong efforts to he put forth by our present Gram Master. He is an energetic pushing man in all his undertakings. It seems to be a settled conviction here that the constitutional amendment now pending will be adopted, and we think It a necessity that there should be some safe-guard for the Orphan Home. The encampment met on Thu'sd.iy evening last and elected as its Repre sentative to the grand encampment W. W. Wilson. The Grand Encamp ment will meet in this city on the 3rd dav of August next. We had thought strongly of givnjr up the publication of thle column ai there seems to be so little visible appre ciation of it by the membership: but those outside the Order are insisting upon it being continued. For their benefit we will continue it awhile lor.ir- er. and see if the members can be come more interested. The trustees of the Orphan Home have ordered an outfit and will com mence the publication of a semi-week ly paper at the Home about the first if July next. It wil be published ex clusively in the interest of the Orphan Home and the Order of Odd Fellows. A name for the paper has not been de cided upon as yet. We have heretofore refrained from nentionlng the practical daily bene- volenoe of the Order In this State, be- t I Peving that many people would sua mct that the Order was fond of por traying its works of charity before the public. Such we do not approve, but the reports of the Grand officers and proceedings of the Grand Lodge are read by any and all and are therefore public property to some extent and I we shall refer to a few figures on j tpined In the Grand Secretary's report, showing the relief extended in North Carolina from January 1st. 1897 to Jan , oary 1st, 1898: The number of brothers relieved I was 625 Widowed families 22 Brothers buried 40 Brothers' wives burled 5 I The number of weeks sickness for l which benefits were paid was.. .2.118 The amount paid for relief of 1 brothers was $6,077. 79 For burying the dead 1,789.74 , Watching, special and other re- . lief 1,155.82 Total relief extended $9,026.35 plishment of a little Raleigh orphan Home at a cost of $2,305.37, If you will look at this statement closely you will . find that it exceeds anything of a like character In any State of the Union, I according to membership.

THE PRESENT COXFLll'T Says That Boston Has Boen Bombarded Declares II Etonians to he Fleeing Into the Interior and New Yorkers Ha Tiondlnn Their Ho Ties. El Progresso, a newspaper publish ed in Havana, a copy of whic h has reached this city, in an editorial pub lished on May 23, contains the follow, ing summary of the situation as seen through the eyes of the Spanish press: "A month has gone by since the cow ardly Yankees proclaimed war against Spain. They then declared that they would annihilate, us that they would come and take Havana and level our forts to the ground. We now see that it was a cowardly boast, for not one dastardly Yankee has set fo.it on Cu ban soil. They dare not, for brave sol diers will repulse them and drive them back to their own shores. Have thev taken Havana? Not one gun has been lired upon our forts and their ships, which pretend to maintain a blockade, fear to come within the range of the noble guns of Morro Castle. It would mean their destruction. Yankees are cowards and can do nothing but boast of what they will do, and then do nothing. Every Rood and true suldier of Spain is anxiously awaiting the ap pearance of the Yankees, and we will then show them how well a Spaniard rim fight and that we can do more than boast. "Wherever the ships of the enemy have approached our shores they have been driven back with disastrous loss, and their attempts to destroy our forts have resulted Instead of the destruc tion of their ships. Our brave sol diers have poured shot and shell into the enemy and nobly stood by their guns, and upon every occasion achieved a gallant victory. "We have heard reports of the enor mous army which was to invade our Island and conquer our army. What has become of it? They do not dare to come and meet the brave Spaniar knowing full well that death would be : certain to await them. They tried io starve us. but on the contray they are starving themselves, for bread and meat is higher in New York than it is in Havana. We have plenty to eat, while the Yankees have been compelled to open free soup houses in all the big cities to feed their hungry, and the people die from starvation. No dog even goes without food in this capital, but dogs are better than the dirty j Yankees. Reef costs fifty cents in New ' York ad a loaf of bread twonty-five cents. How long can the shopkeeping Yankees, who think of nothing but dol lars, stand that? "They are already sorry that they have begun war against Spain, but we will give them cause for deeper , regret. It will not be long before our victorious army will cross over the their territory and do to them as they would like to have done to us. We will give them some of their own med icine. ' "Already our gallant fleet has bom barded their city of Boston and driven 'he inhabitants of that place Into the interior, compelling them to flee Tor their lives. Next we will move upon New York, and no ankee ships dare the failure of their arms, and the peu p'e are blaming President McKinley. A military gmard of 1.000 soldiers surrounds his palace to prevent an assassin from reaching him. He never goes out an It is expected daily that news will be sent out of his death, so intensely enraged are the people be cause thev see nothinc hut rtofont In their war against Spain. Civil war is threatened among the United States and it may be looked for at any mo- ment. The wealthy Yankees of New York and Philadelphia have barriead- cd their houses and armed their ser- vants. fearing both the attacks of our forces and the mobs of their own peo- pie. Such is the condition which exists in America today while our noble army and our government under the brave and good Cantain Genera! Blanco has succeded in pacifying all of Cuba so that peace reigns upon our shores. "Spaniards! we have nothing to fear from the cowardly Yankees. We are already the victors and gladly would the enemy sue for peace. "The Philippines, which were at Prst reported lost to us have been re gained, if indeed they were ever out of our power or In danger of being lost. The ships of the Yankee commander have been destroyed, with great loss of life, and the rebel forces have united with all good Spanish citizens In driv ing the foreigners from those islands, and have reorganized their govern ment under an equitable autonomy such as exists In Cuba today. "Brave Spaniards! we will not be content with compelling the Yankees to sue for peace: we will invade their territory, capture and destroy their towns and force then Into subjection, "panish valor is the same today that it was in the days of old. and we can Fee in the near future the proud flag of Snaln again afloat upon every sea and planted again upon the continent of America, and once more Spain will rule the world as she did in the happy days gone by.

I'ort-au-I'rince. June 4. A great number of insurgents are in the vi cinity of Santiago. Probably awaiting some decisive action of the American licet to be signalled for an attack on the town. The Spaniards pay a tri bute to the audacity of the Americans for so cleverly attempting to blockade the channel. According to the Spaniards it will be foolishness on the part of the Americans to attempt to force the harbor entrance which describe a long, narrow, thoroughly mined channel, seemingly forming an insurmountable barrier.

LONG LIVE THE "WE NO" BICY--CLE CLUB. This is what was heard from twenty five of their special friends last night at the midnight hour for how could they say otherwise when a few day ago their friends were the recipients of handsomely gotten up invitations by the "We no" Bicycling club to attend an outing to be at the home of Mr. Moore on Milburnie road just two miles from the city. Upon their arrival at the elegant home, they were agreeably surprised to find the Lawn beautifully and artistically lighted. And under the beautiful lights, were tables bur dened with all the dainties of the sea son. After several interesting recita tions prepared for the occasion ,the happy party returned to their homes and all with one accord said: Long live the "We No" Bicycle Club. ST. MARY'S COMMENCEMENT.

Hie of Napoleon's Experiments to be Tried by This Country. Plans for the usual summer expedi tion oi scientists of the National Mu seum and Smithsonian Institution are being perfected, says a Washington D. C, dispatch to the St. Louis Globe Deim.crnt. If one of these is carried out it will be a most extensive and, Tn al1 likelihood, a most fruitful one, ex celling in results any which has been sent out from either of these two great store houses. It is no less than to com bine a number of scientists of the mu seum and institution in one company with a man of the highest attainments in scientific lines at the head, and send the party to Manila with the troops, if any shall go in the future. The idea has been broached and has met with the approval of those compe tent to judge of such schemes tind their outcome. It has been pointed out, it was stated, that, as the islands will most likely remain under the rule of the United States, the collection of objects to be secured there will be of the greatest possible Interest to the l pie in this country. it was declared also that the matter of sending an expedition of scientists along with the troops of conquest in n ! new country was no new thing. It was j practiced repeatedly by Napoleon, and under him was found to work excel lently, as the museums and laborato ries of France were filled with thou sands of interesting collections.
