“Until Hugh Stirling becameGrand
Master of Masons of Connecticut, I
have never known those laws to be
openly and flagrantly violated, the ob-
ligations of the fraternity deliberately
disregarded, and the high office of
Grand Master perverted to the pur-
poses of blackmail, personal spite, and
a coward’s revenge.”
er. Maples in Saturday’s Hour]
Could any virago in a paroxysm of
hysterics more ridiculously exhibit
boomerang spite. After the vilest
newspaper assaults. made upon the
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge,
which self respect and a decent regard
for the Order of which’both were mem-
bers, Mr. Stirling brought the matter
to the attention of his Lodge. A com-
mittee was raised and after examining
the records, reported for Mr. Maples’
expu-lsidn. It was carried by an over-
whelming vote of his fellow Masons.
His expulsion was based soley on Mr.
Maples’ accustomed, reckless and ven-
omous abuse, of the members of the
Grand Lodge and its officers, of which
the above is a fair sample. The origi-
nal difficulty between St. Johns’ Lodge
and Old Well Lodge, about the justice
of which honest'and honorable Masons
disagree, did not come into the con-
sideration of Mr. Maplee’ offense. If
the expelled and disgraced member
has not lost his reason, he must know
that the above assault is totally false
and brutal and can injure no one so
much as himself, even in the opinion
of those, who sincerely pity him and
deplore these reckless exhibitions of
his impotent rage.

A Sad Story.
Close upon the startling announce-
ment of the conviction of Dempsey,
MasterWorkman of the Homestead
Assembly of Knights of Labor, for
poisoning non union workmen, comes
the wail of ex-Burgess McLuckie, who
was the chief inspiration of the ' Home-
stead strike. In a public appeal for fi-
nancial aid, he says : “I am out of jail,
after having served thirty-three days,
and have been sick since. Out of work,
out of money, a family to support and
on trial for my life—not apleasant out-
look.”
It was Master Workman Dempsey
and Burgess McLuckie who chiefly
conceived, inspired and executed the
Homestead strike with all its crim-
soncd records;and the strike was in-
augurated when the Homestead work-
men were receiving the highest wages
paid in any like industry in the coun-
try or in the world, truly states the
Philadelphia Times, an able and hon-
est Democratic organ. The attempted
assassination of Manager Frick 'fol-
lowed the wanton killing of both strik-
ers and those who came to maintain
order, lOgically ending with the fiend-
ish attempt to poison workmen of
equal rights before the law to fill the
places of the strikers.
And the sad sequel to the whole pan- ,
orama lawlessness comes in the con-
viction of Dempsey, with McLuckie “out
of work, out of money, a family to sup-
port and on trial for my life,” while the
organization that ordered and main-
tained the strike has lost its authority
in all the Carnegie mills it once con-
trolled, and its strikers are starving
without support from their brethren or
sympathy from employers.
This is indeed a sad chapter in the
annals of American labor, and if it
shall not be a most impressive object
lesson to both employers and employed,
and especially to workmen, there must
be little appreciation of the plainest
truths of history. The lesson is entire-r
1y outside of the merits of the dispute
between the Carnegie management and
the strikers. However, just the claim
may have been to a different scale of
wages, and suddenly precipitated
strike, the violence and bloodshed that
followed, and the methods and desper-
ation of the strikers, all called for the
severest condemnation and chilled
public sympathy, always naturally
with oppressed labor, until the once
heroes of Homestead are now in prison
or starving wanderers in search of
work at any price. It is a sad, sad
story, and organized labor should see
.to it that it is not speedily repeated.

A Large Deal.
For several weeks past rumors have
been rife to the effect that the Consol-
idated road would shun-have control'of
the New England or the Old Colony
road. Saturday it was reported that
the road had changed hands.
The story had its origin in a meeting
of railroad magnates at Parker’s in
Boston, on Friday, at which were pres-
ent President Clark of the Consolida-
ted road, and Vice-Presidents Tuttle,
and Mellen. As the story goes, the Con-
solidated wants either the N cw Eng-
land or the Old Colony, A few days
ago if Dame Rumor is correct, the con-
trol of the New England was offered
the Consolidated people at a figure
closely approximating $75 per share on
the $20,000,000 'of common stock out-
standing. President Clark is reported
to have said repeatedly that the Con-
solidated would take the New England
for its second mortgage bonds, of
which a majority are said to lie in New
Haven strong boxes, and once admitted
that they might take it and give some-
thing for the preferred stock.
In case the Consolidated road de-
clines the New England, the Old Colo-
ny is open to them, and gossip on the
latter is to the effect that a deal is
near. The railroad men mentioned
would not acknowledge definitely that
they were in Boston on business which
would interest the public, but the im-
pression at the Hub was that somtehing
highly important was In the wind.

Musical Notes.
To flat or not to flat is a question of
utmost importance to every vocalist;
for the singer does not exist who has
never infringed the laws of perfect
tone.
What is it then to flat ? Simply this:
—A musical tone is produced by a cer-
tain number of vibrations per second
of a sounding body, like a violin string,
or the vocal bands in a human throat.
If the vibrations per second are less
than the number required the tone is
said to fall or flat : if greater than the
required number the tone is said to
rise or sharp.
Now how shall it be determined that
a tone is sharp or flat ? ‘
As a general rule a person who can-
not tell is said to have an incorrect ear,‘
but this is not true. The ear is simply
a medium by which sound is conveyed
to the brain. If the mind has been
well trained in the requirements of
music the brain like an impartial
judge, pronounces a correct sentence
upon every sound that is brought to its
knowledge. ,If, on the contrary, the
mind has not been so trained, the brain
is like a judge who, not understanding
his case, doesn‘t know exactly what to
say about it.
Consequently it is the mind, not the
ear, that hears and decides whether a
tone is sharp or flat, and in all vocal
culture it is the mind that needs train-
ing rather than the veice, for the voice
will always do exactly what its superior
officer commands. «
The writer once attended a concert
in Association Hall, Philadelphia, at
which a vocal selection was given with
every note about a_quarter of a tone
below the accompaniment. - The voice
was a soprano, and a good one, but the
singer was perfectly unconscious of her
failing, while the accompanist and the
audience were in misery,
Now what did she_ need? Simply a
course of, mental selence. Her vonce
was all right, but her mind, the great
controller of all, was not up to its work.
So with the singer, his life is a con-
stant_battle between mind and matter,
but in every case a 13qu mind will
make a true voice. 11'. n. m.

. The Boston and Washington express
which for 17 years has been running.
between these points by way of the
Consolidated and New York 8: New
England railroads, is within a. short
time to run by a new route. Instead
of runnin by way of the Hartford
and the . ew York 8: New England
road it Will run b way of New Haven
and the Shore inc and Providence
divisions of the Consolidated road.
"The officials of the latter road have
given out that the change is for econi‘
omic reasons only and that by the new
route they will have a longer haul over'
their own system and will save for
themselves the fare for about 97 miles
for each passenger. This would ordin-
arily be accepted as a good reason, in
fact a particularly good reason if the
Consolidated company had urged it at a
different time. But in view of recent
happenings there are those who find in
the move an entirely different motive.

”as to its passage—will work radical re-
forms in the practice of dentistry in
E.
Connecticut. Two of the special aims,
of the bill are the. suppression of dental
quacks and the ousting of those who
abuse the opportunities and privileges
of their profession.
The bill provides for the appoint-
ment by the Governor of five Dental
commissioners who. shallhave been
practitioners in good standing for a
period of _ at least ten years. After the
appomtment of this commission, every
person who wishes to practice dentistry
in this state will be required togo be-
fore them for examination as to fitness
for a license. but the bill in its provi-
sions is not made retroactive. Appli-
cants for licenses shall pay $25, and
those who fail to pass are to be re-
turned 320. Applicants must be gradu-
ates of recognized colleges, or must
have been students in the offices of
reputable practitioners for three years,
or. have had at least three years’ practi-
cal experience. Nothing in the act is
intended to prohibit physicians and
surgeons from the practice of dentistry
or to interfere with a licensed dentist’s
assistant.
On proof submitted that from. any
cause a dentist has become unfit or in-
competent, the commissioners may re-
voke-his license. Cruelty, incapacity,
unskillfulness, gross negligence and in.
decent conduct toward patients, or any
such professional misbehavior as shows
unfitness on the part of the dentist
shall be sufficient cause for revocation
of license.
Any person found guilty of violating
any prOVision of the act shall be fined
not-less than $20 or more than $50.
The'practice of dentistry without a li-
cense for a week, or part of a week,
shall be deemed a separate offence and
treated as such. '
