Cu By Telegraph to the Times-Visitor, ba, Porto Rico, and Manila are to be no longer in a state of block ade. Public notification of this fact having been made to all the pow ers. The vessels blockading those ports are now withdrawn. It is now possible for enterprising merchants to enter the insular ports and dis tribute food stuffs at any price they see fit to charge. It is expected that trade will be lively in a short time. No action has been taken as yet to feed the reconcentrados but this will come within a short time if investigation proves that supplies shipped into Havana and the other norts of Cuba are inadequate to meet the needs of the people. The President feels that until the American forces take formal pos session of Cuba thev should go slowly in the matter of shipping supplies unless it be found that the Spaniards themselves are in need. General Blanco will be consulted on this subject. The American mil itary commission on evacuation will probably enter Havana harbor on a warship which wi'l stay until the matter is settled.

FOR ODD FELLOWS A Bright Letter for the Good of the Order A NAME TO BE HONORED Suggested that the Room to he Furnished In the Orphan's I ome he Named by Popular Vnte Prosr. ss of Various Lodges. Seaton Gales Lodge eomferrcd thp second on two and reinstated another last night. Have you given anything toward furnishing that room at the Orphan Home? The brethren in Greensboro are do ing the clever thing in presenting Bro. L. C. Howlett with a veterans jewel. He deserves it. The joint committee of the city lodges have decided to raise two hun dred and fifty dollars to be expended in furnishing the main sitting room at the Orphan Home, and want it paid on or before Nevember 1st next. We are taught that when we greet our brother it should be with sincerity and not gruffness. neither affectation. Gruffness is ungentlemanly and im polite while affectation is deceitful and untruthful. Truth is an imperial vir tue even in our greeting. When the Sovereign Grand Lodge meets in Boston next month will it be another session of frolic and fun, of log rolling and buttonholing to see who are to fill the offices for the next two years, or will it get down to business and grapple with some of the vitai questions that ought to have engaged its attention before now? We shall see when the proceedings are printed some time in the year 1S09. There are two classes of. people who connect themselves with our order, as well as other similar ones. They are first: those who join for the purpose of getting all the benefits out of it, both pecuniary and itioerwise, that they possibly can; and the other class are those who join for the purpose of being benefitted by helpfulness to oth ers. The former class are the disap pointed ones and, as a rule, soon fall out by being suspended, while the lat ter are the faithful ones who make the order what it is. Which of these two classes are you in gentle reader? What name will the members agree upon for the room to be furnished at the Orphan Home? It must be named by the time it is furnished and this we hope to have completed before Thanksgiving day. If the joint com mittee'will allow suggestions we would suggest that a suitable time be set to decide upon the name and that ev ery member be allowed a vote. The name that secures a majority of all the votes cast, to be the one selected. If the time is set upon lime evening that one of our lodges n A it would be a good thing for that Lodge and make it interesting to all who can be present. Will the committee think over the matter and let us know about it? If ever there was a time in the his tory of the world when "the market was glutted," to use a homely expres sion, with societies, orders and such things that time is the present. We feaf that instead of being benefi cial as all are intended to be that ex clude politics and strive to assit hu manity, the result of It will be to damage the very ones that have done and are doing so much for the benefit of the race. It seems to the young man who may be looking around for some associa tions that will enable him to better himself and be of service to his fellow- men that the fraternities that were held in such reverence and high es teem by his forefathers have degener ated, or else the world is outgrowing them and is filling up with new things that promise more and do more than in former days. To such an extent has it gone that the mind frequently revolts at the idea and an impression is made anything but favorable to any order. This Is to be regretted and yet it cannot be remedied until time it self fixes a limit. The tide will surely turn and it may be that when it doep so It may cause a complete revolution, No one can tell what the final result will be but which we will be but whatever It is the great principles for which we live and strug gle, will live on, finding expression in some form and gathering strength with the ages. .

Howard and their father are standing at the bar of Judge M. B.

See small bills for particulars. Jack son now has his ire up and straightway wendeth his way back to Judge Harry Roberts'. CHAPTER FIVE. "Let Justice be Done Though the Heav ens Fall. When Jackson stood before Judge Roberts his mind was filled with a remembrance of a moonlight night last October when the marsupial varment. more formidably known as "De Pos sum, was ripe and Chas. Howard went a 'possum hunting. Then Jack son recollected a second Saturday in last December when there was a gath ering of the good people of House Creek at Mt. Ture church for worship, and on both these occasions Chas. Howard had been thar and concealed unon his person there was a deadly weapon that speaks quick and shvi't called a five shooting pistol.

August lbth, lsys, immediately after the big show. No extra charges. One ticket admits to the big show and all side attractions. CHAPTER SIX. The Protocol of Peace is Signed.
