'TIs true , their bid VIM the lowest , but slnoo a tornado boat haJ never boon m ao at an Inland town the bid wa * a tuoro bit of bravado on the company's part. Hut the surprise and amusement soon cuatigod to an oranddtsappomtraontwhou It was found that the Hlllo David of the west had van quished ttio eastern Gollnlh and actually carried off the prize from 1U puffed up com petitors. Then the wlsoacros n.id faulttlnd- ors nolnted out that it was Impossible for the contract to ba carnnd out nnu they named their reasons soilatlm. The result was the detailing of Naval Constructor Philip Illck- bom and ( Jnlof Knglnoer N. t > . Towno to visit Diibmiuo and ronort to the goTorniiiont us to whether the objections could bo su - tnlncd. Tlio report showed that the Iowa Iron worns had atnplo fa cilities for dolni : the woris modern tools , trained workmen , a mporlnlcnuout of exceptional ability and a record extending over thirty yours of similar work douo on Mississippi river boats , 'llio sequel Is tnat our second torpedo bout is now almost lln- Ishod on ttio banks of the Mississippi. It U Inn small uont yard about n quarter of a niilo from the main woiks where all the inotal work is got ieiulf. for iilno months 150 men have been at work on It and It is uow In sucusliatw tint It will bo llnlsliod by ftovotnuorl. At orosunt it looks In outline like u colossul cigar : ttio Iramowork is all In plnco , the division Into compartments corn- ploteu'tho iron onU stool thus far used Is painted a dull Egyptian red. i The pinna and spoeilloition.s have ooon furnished by the UnltoJ Stuiod government , though many of the minor dotatls nro by the Iowa Iroii works. This Is the plan : Hull 150 foot I otic , l.Vfoot beam , 11 loot deep , made of Btuol auclos and plates , the outsldn i to bo of galvanized .stool one-elgbth of an i inch thick. Tlio steel in the deck Is iniulo specially from government sooclllcatlous. On the deck is placed a conning tower , a conical box' , about 0 feet in diameter und 7 loot high. From this tower the vessel U steered and handled , the power which rozu- latos the discharge of the torpedo originating hero. Intho bow , two foot uuovo the water line , ft is the torpedo tube , 1'J India * in diameter , 10 or 12 feet in length. There is also u space ou i * dock from which u torpedo may bo lired. The boat. Is furnished witli quadruple ex pansion engines with twin screws ; the boil- i ers are of the Thornycroftpattoni the Dost made ; it Is nn English patent. Included in the nmcninory uro eight cylin ders , made from the most superior cast iron , having heads of cast steel polished to a paln- i ful brightness. The models ol thuso cylinders are flrat .mado in wood. Thoto are two shafts , ono 55 loot , the other 52 foot , of steel Hied as smooth i is glass by hand work. They will pasb through the center of ttio oont , and by con nection with thu engine turn the wheel. There are twelve bulkheads made of solid stool plates riveted together. Everything connected with this boat will bodouu by ma- ouluorv steering , handling and discharging the torpedo. The main onglno will bo handled by using a small engine. The tor pedo is to bo discharged by electricity ; tlio boat will bo furnished with u powerful search light , and every olcctne.il Uovico for obtain- tainlng a maximum and minimum outlay of . human energy ; It will contain tlftoon water tight chambers , which will embrace In regular order toward the door , pantry , lorkors , lavatory , wardroom , staterooms - > rooms , powder magazine , machinists' quarters , uoiler , compass rooms , lockers for signals , engine room with coal bunkers on , either side-two fresh water tanks for dis tilled water , capacity 300 gallonscrow space , torpedo storeroom , lock or scuta , steam wind lass at rear. There are two folding bouts , v jjnado of watertight canvns anJmet.il and a crane for handling torpedoes , i The only wood used Is the mast In the „ > .center , Onu hundred and twenty tons of metal bare been used or will ba used in its , i construction , lliouch the machinery , boiler i and water will weigh but fifty-one anil throe- , quarter tons.

A change iu the manner of government of the southern jurisdiction of the Scottish Kilo Masonry Is at present utulor discussion. Washington , D. C. , Is the headquarters of the movement. In the United blatiu thaio are two jurisdictions of Scottish Kilo Ma sonry , the northern and the southern. In the 'former the chiefs have always been chosen oy a vote of tuo subordinate lodges , whilst in the latter the loauors have been solfpurDotuatlug and chosun by themselves with a Ilfo tonuro. The northern jurisdic tion has headquarters nt Now York , and comprises the states as far south as Ohio and west to the Missouri river. The south ern occupies the remainder of the territory , with headquarters at Wasnington , D. C. Up to his death , two years ago , General Albert Pike wns the grand commander of the southern jurisdiction , and his successor has not yat bCRti appointed ; but tha aujromo council , which meets at Washington , Octo ber 11 , Is to appoint a grand commander In place of the general and it is demanded that ho bo chosen oy a body roprcscntalivO of the lodges , tlio chapters , councils and consisto ries of the different states and not by the vote of tbo members of the supreme council , as heretofore. The prevailing sentiment is In favor of the hango , and it is exceedingly lltcely that the ime-honorod custom will oo discontinued , nd not only the grand commander , but all ulcers of the supreme council of the soulh- rn jurisdiction will bo chojon by election of ho subordinate bodies , after the manner ollowod ov the northern jurisdiction.

The Woodmen of the World , an organiza- lon dostincd to become a power in the ranks of the fraternal societies erected ns an insur ance company , was born la Omaha having orlgiuatod at u convention hold at the Pox- ton hotel Juno S , 1SOJ. The order of Modern Woodmen contributed In the persons of soy- oral members to this convention , there being irosent F. A. Falltenborc of Denver , J. J.

Mr. Hoot , took the initiative in the matter and , profiting by iho mistakes of the older organization , presented a schumo of Insur ance which mot tha hearty support of the other gentleman present und the Woodmen of the World was created. Colonel B. W. Jowoll wns made the lint sevoroisu clerk imd the headquarters was imubltsliod atMan chester , la. Mr. J.C. Hoot was made the lirst sovereign commander by vlrtuo nf his con nection with the old order nnd his Intlmaia knowledge of fraternal societies. Dr. Uogors was elected sovereign physician. Through the efforts of sovcral well known citizens the llrst camp in thu order was worked up in this city and on the evening of its erection U. ) members were shown the boautlos of t nu ll rat degree which Is called , und vary appropriately , "pielection. " The outlook for the order was very bright at the tlmo and ax-Uovornor Shormin of Iowa , Senator lOrwln of Wisconsin aud Hon , C. C.

Offers of ofllca room having boon tendered the olll- cers by Mr , Shoely of this city , and all the pauses of tha matter hav ing been considered , it was decided to remove the headquarters from Manchester , la. , to Omaha und incorporate under tha laws of Nebraska , and In December of Ib'JU the headquarters was ostanlUhod hero. Colonel B. W. Jowoll , not bolcg nblo to fol low the headquarters to this cltv , resigned und Mr. John T , Ynles , paying teller at the Nebraska National bank , was elected sov ereign ciark. Alpha camp , No 1 , was Insti tuted during the month of December , as has boon previously stated , with 125 members and tbo second camp was erected at Urosuam , Nab. Now there are 2'JJ camps ( n the sovereign Jurisdiction , and 105 in the Pucltlo Jurisdiction. This di vision of tbo union Into two jurisdictions Is something new in insurance organizations , aud Is found to work unusually well , The Pacllio jurisdiction , while holding ulleglanuo to the sovereign jurisdiction , pays Its own death losses , und looks after thu ulno states allotted to its care. The sovereign jurisdic tion includes twenty-six states and the prov ince of Ontario. The total membership of the order today is 15,500 , achieved since December , Ib'JO , an unprenodontoj growth.

Ilnllock wns a typewriter in Colonel Brandon's ollluo in lower Uroud- wny three yours npo. enys the Now York Globo. Now she presides over u hand- faoino house in WoHteho-stor county witliin view of the blue wutora of Long Islnnd sound. This is the way tlmt it happened ; Ono day in July , 1800 , there eanio into the colonel's ollico a tall young man , straight nnd strong and irpod to look at. lie wanted to see Colonel Urnndon. The colonel was in Europe. The young man said he would coino buck , and ho was oven bettor than his word. Ho enino back ut first oneo u week , then twice and three times , and at last onoo or twice a dny. Miss Hallock was also tall nnd straight and strong , and hoi1 hair was the color of ripe corn silk. The young man bairt that his name was Frank Hns- lip , and thnt ho was a civil ongineoi1. IIo was very much in love with the type writer , nnd Imforo the colonel had re turned from Europe the young mini had asked the girl to marry him and she had luilf promised to do BO. The colonel came homo in September , and the dny nftor hia return the young man called on him at his oflluo. They were closeted together for two hours , and when Frank loft the private room ho was red in the face and painfully ill at eabo. Tlio colonel wns white and btorn. The young man loft without speaking to the typewriter. The next day ho did not call , nor the day after , nor the day after that. At the end of a week MibS Hullock got a note from him , dated in Chicago , saying that ho was going out west on important busincBsand nuking her to bo true to him and wait for him. The typewriter answered the letter , prjinising to wait for him. To this dho got no reply , and in the course of a few months the man dropped out of her memory oven. The colonel was u widower nnd a lawyer , and he is rich. Ho is loss than fifty years old and is handsomer than most men of hia years. Lust fall ho called Miss JIallouK. into his ollico audoskod liorwhether uho would marry him.

"I want to know , " ho explained ho faced her just as ho always faced her when ho dleiited his letters , "whotbcr you could love mo or not. -know you don't love mo now. I may bo old and I may bo foolish to have hopes , but I am not foolish enough to believe that you have any feeling for mo except Unit of respect. I hope you do respoet mo , Miss Hallock , " ho went on , "and I wish moro than you can understand that you could love mo. " "I did not expect this , colonel , " re plied the typewriter slowly , keeping hoi- eyes fastened upon her folded hands and the pad of paper that lay in her lap. "Of 'jourto not , of course , " continued the colonel. "Just think it over and omo future day , say tomorrow , wo will have another talk about it. Now. if you pieiso , wo will tnko up those letters. " And they took the letters ns usual. The colonel's voice bud no quaver in it and Miss llallook's hand was as btendy as it ever was. That was the lirst day of this singular courtrihiu. At 10 o'clock the following day tbo colonel again called Miss Hallock into his ollloe. This time she dit ! not look BO solf-DOssossed , but the colonel w.is even moro unconcerned then ho had boon on the dny before. "Have you thought the matter ovoi-V" ho asked. " 1 havo. " "Do you think that you could love mo ? " "I might " she said hesitatingly. "My dearest love , " broke in the colonel nel impotuotiHlp , dropping instantly his Bolf-po-ssuaaion and his coldness , as ho caugbt her in Ins arms , breaking the point of her pencil und scattering her paper on the lloor. "My own dear love , " ho went on , ex-jltedly as a schoolboy , "I know that you would love am In time ; i knew it. " "Hut i don't love now not a bit. " she Hiild , as she disengaged liorHolf , "I know , " ho biiid , "but you will in lime. 1 think. Miss Hallock , we will not take up the letters today. 1 am go - ing out of town. " And thus the .second day ended. At the end of the week she hud lot him kiss her once. It was on the night that ho gave her tbo biir diamond ongafsomont ring. At the end of three months she lolt tbo ollico and began preparing - paring for the wedding. Audit was a very L'roat preparation. It was one week buforo tbo wedding that hho got a let ter from the ub-sont Frank , tie bad made his fortune in u big mine , and be was on his way homo to claim her promise. IIo hud never written because ho had onlv got her reply a day or two . before on hU return to Chicago from I the west. IIo w.is in a hurry. He got homo the day of the wedding , and ho called at once at her homo. She was not a delighted to HUO him as he wished. She told him that she was tin- ing to bo married Unit night. Ho pleaded with her to break the m itch , and at lust she consented. When culo- nal Brandon reached the hoiifco at 8 o'clock with the clergyman Mr. Iliwlip and bib bride were on tbolr wedding trip. . , , Ono month later they came back unu immediately inovod into their present homo , noar'llyo.
