There is no rexjublican in America who
can claim better results |from his efforts
than the Hon. William B. Plunkett of
North Adams. He is and always has
been a life-long republican and has shown
his love for the party in many ways.
Massachusetts feels proud of sons when
they prove to be what Air. Plunkett has.
He has always been found faithful to the
trust of republicanism and is to be counted
amoiig the first of America.

COPYRIGHT, 1839* BY PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION CO-
The Court of the Alachinery & Trans-
portation Buil'iiny, of the Pan American
Exposition, which will be held at Buffalo,
N. Y., on the N iagra Frontier, during the
summer months of the year 1901, presents
an interesting treatment of cloister work.
The Alachinery & Transportation Build-
itself forms a hollow square, with this
Court in its center. It is 200 feet long and
100 feet wide, the east and west ends open-
ing respectively to the great entrances
from the Grand Canal and the Court of
Fountains, while the great exhibiting
rooms of the Alall side of the building, lie
on either sidv>. Along each side of 'this
Court, and extending the entire length,
are roof-covered arcades under which the
visitors may find rest oil the comfortable
beuches.
The pool itself is 175 feet Ions and' 27
feet wide. It is placed in the center of the
Court. The bank is sodded and planted on
all sides, forming a pleasing frame or bor-
dereffect: the water is so low as to receive
the reflection of the growth around the
pool.
The fountai-i is an impoitmt feature,
placed in the cedter of the poo!, and giving
life to the scene and freshness to the at
mosphere. Turoughout the Court are
pleasant walks and paths, bordered w-itk
low shrubbery and plants, and at inter-
vals at wxis-poiuts with the arcades, rare
plants and placed in Sreat vases, making
a truly architectural landscape effect. The
entire scheme gives the effect of an ad-
mirable enclosure of a mission cloister,
and is planned as one of the many little
oases for the refreshment of the weary
sightseer. This Buildimi and Court have
bt-e:i designed by Green & Wicks of Buff t-
lo.
OPENING OF THE FLORIDA
• SEASON.
After the usual ritualistic exercises of
the order had I een exemplified. National
Grand Worthy Superior and Worthy
Grand Superior of Alassachusetts alden
Banks made his annual address. In the
course of his address he reviewed the for-
mation of the order in 1S45, in Philadel-
phia, and spoke of the first Taberna.le m
Alassachusetts. This was formed in Alay.
ISO:',, and was called Abraham Lincoln
Tabernacle 1, after President Lincoln,
whose name was penned to the emancip.>
tion act which gave freedom to over 4:«>J
OG'O people held in slaverv.
He next spoke of the growth of the order
in Massachusetts. He said that the past
year had been fruitful. Four new laber-
nacles had been set apart, two m Boston,
one in Cambridge and one in Newbury-
Dort. One of those in Boston took the
name of Edwin Garrison Walker, who was
the first grand worthy superior of the
Massachusetts Grand Tabernacle.
At the close of the address of the A\ or-
tby Grand Superior a pause^ for a ball
hour was made in the proceedings, lh.s
half-hour was devoted to a memorial ser-
vice for those members of the older in
Massachusetts who had died the past
year.
The regular routine was then taken up,
and the reports and recommendations
quickly dispatched.
New Bedford was chosen as the next
place of meeting.
Inauguration of the Magnificently Ap-
pointed Xeir York and, Florida
Limited Service.
The placing in service of "The New
York and Florida Limited" of the
Southern Railway, the handsomest
train in the world, always signifies the
opening of the Florida social season.
This superb train leaves New York on
its initial trip for the season of 1000
Tuesday, January 16th, at 12.40 P. M.,
and will run daily, except Sunday,
throughout the season, reaching St.
Augustine at 3.35 the next after-
noon. The train ;s composed exclu-
sively of compartment cars, finished in
rovaf elegance; Pullman drawing-room
sleeping cars, constructed especially for
this train, a sumptuous dining car and
library and observation cars. It runs
through solid to St. Augustine except
one drawing room sleeping car, which
is detached at Columbia, S. C., and
runs through to Aikiti and Augusta for
the convenience of travelers to these
popular resorts. One car is also de-
tached at Jacksonville and runs through
to Tampa and Port Tampa on the west
coast, where direct connection is m<ulc
with Plant Line Steamships for Key
West and Havana. "The New York
and Florida Limited" affords passen-
gers the most delightful way of reach-
ing Florida resorts under conditions
of~the greatest comfort and speed, and
it is universally acknowledged that it
illustrates, more than any other train
in the world, the wonderful develop-
ment which has been made in construc-
tion and elegance ii. railroad equip-
ment In addition to the "New York
and Florida Limited" the Southern
Railway also operates two oilier daily
t-ains to Florida. One of these, the
"U. S. Fast Mail," leaves New York
at 1*2.10 A. M. every day in the week-
This train carries Pullman drawing-
room sleeping cars through to Jack-
sonville, St. Augustine and Miami,
connecting with steamers on Nassau,
Key West and Havana. Meals are
served in dining car. The other train,
the "New York and Florida Express,'
leaves New York at 3.25 P. M. daily,
and carries Pullman drawing-room
sleeping cars to Jacksonville and I oit
Tampnf Like the other trains, it has
a dining-car service. The Southern
Railway runs through the ehatming
Piedmont region of Virginia,Vmd its
entire route is most picturesque and
attractive. Its road—bed and equip-
ment are up to the highest standard ot
excellence. Full information, reser-
vations, rates, etc., may be had by
applying to the office of the Southern
Railway, 228 Washington street, Bos-
ton.

Some of the More Important Work of
the National Congress—Bills That
the Committees Report Favorably
Upon—Washington Topics.
In the United States Senate Jan. 29
Mr. Mason, Illinois, arose to a ques-
tion of privilege and sharply attacked >
the British government and the Brit-
ish Vice Consul at New Orleans be-
cause of an interview in which the
Vice Consul had assailed Mr. Mason
for the position he had taken in be-
half of the Transvaal Republic in its
war with Great Britain. Mr. Tillman,
South Carolina, made a speech on the
Philippine question.
In the House the bill for the reor-
ganization of the Weather Bureau has
been "side-tracked" by a test vote of
57 to 73, it being bitterly opposed by
those who disapproved of the life
tenure provision it made. The bill,
however, remains the unfinished busi-
ness.
Tiie resolution offered by Senator
Pettigrew, calling upon the President
for information regarding the treaty
entered into with the Sultan of Sulu,
has been passed, after Senator Petti-
grew lis. d made an attack upon the ad-
ministration for entering into an
agreement which, he^said, authorized
slavery.
The debate in the House upon the
Roberts case was continued Jan. 24.
Mr. Roberts was not present. Air.
Landies, of Indiana, charged that
Utah was admitted to the Union as a
result of a Mormon conspiracy, and
charged the apostles of the church
with living in open violation of the
statute against polygamy. The other
speakers were Messrs. Powers (Rep.,
of Vermont) and Ivliers (Dem., of In-
diana) for the majority resolution;
Messrs. Snodgras (Dem., of Tennes-
see) and Wilson (Sil. Rep., of Idaho)
for the minority resolutions; Mr.
Bacey (Rep., of Iowa) for his proposi-
tion to expel without swearing in. and
Mr. Crumpacker (Rep., of Indiana)
for expulsion by a two-thirds vote.
Jan. 25, by a vote of 286 to 50. the
majority report was adopted, and Rob-
erts was accordingly not admitted.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Air. Clark, of Missouri, to
create a territory of the District of
Columbia, to be known as the "Terri-
tory of Columbia;" also to place bind-
ing twine on the free list; and by Mr.
Mudd, of Maryland, to establish an
art commission of the United States.
The Republican caucus of the Sen-
ate has decided definitely upon the re-
organization of the elective offices of
that body, and nominated Hon. Chas.
Bennett, of New York, for secretary,
and Hon. Daniel M. Ransdell, of In-
diana, for sergeant-at-arms.
Senator Lodge has introduced a bill
reducing the postage on books and
other printed matter belonging to
public libraries when sent from one li-
brary to another.
The Senate nas adopted the resolu-
tion offered by Mr. Allen (Neb.) call-
ing upon the Secretary of the treas-
ury for the correspondence and the
substance of all verbal communica-
tions which he has had with officials
of the National City Bank of New
York concerning the transfer of the
old Custom House to the National
Enormous Business Done in One Day
by the Trust.
Ten million dollars' worth of busi-
ness in one day is the new record
made by the American AVoolen Com-
pany, commonly known as the Wool
Trust.
At the close of business in New
York Monday it was found that fully
$10,000,000 worth of orders had been
booked, and Tuesday the sales were
almost as large. By 10 o'clock Alon-
day nearly three hundred buyers were
waiting to place orders for all sorts
of fall woolen fabrics.
Air. Woodhull, the New York selling
agent of the trust, said that the con-
cern did an annual business of $60,-
000,000, and that almost six months of
its products were bargained for ahead.
Prices of woolens have gone up con-
siderably; how much Mr. Woodhull
declined to say. "The raw material
has advanced tremendously," he said,
"and I do not care to quote figures.
In fact, on some lines I could not do
it if I wanted to. We have had no trou-
ble in getting good prices for what-
ever we offered."
In addition to the throng of buyers
Vvho were on the spot, many orders
were received by telegraph and by
mail. The trust will not take orders
for later delivery thaa July 1.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Bank Cashier Kills Bookkeeper and
Himself.
Capt. .T. W. Murphy, cashier of the
Third National Bank at Columbus,
Ga., killed his chief bookkeeper and
confidential clerk H. T. Shutze, Jan.
16. When the police entered the bank
Mr. Shutze sat bolt upright in his
chair dead. On the floor, a few feet
away, Capt. Alurphy "lay in a crouch-
ing position also dead.
Two shots entered Shutze's head—
one in the temple and the other in the
top of the head. After firing these
two shots Alurphy put the pistol in his
mouth and again pulled the trigger,
the bullet ranging upward through
the brain.
Capt. Murphy was one of the best-
known and leading bankers and poli-V
icians in that state. For several years
he held the position of Assistant State
Treasurer of Georgia. He gave up
this place ten years ago and game to
Columbus, where he organized the
Third National Bank and the Colum-
bus Savings Bank. He was a large
shareholder and was made cashier of
both banks. Recently he has been in
declining health.
Just before the tragedy President
Jordan had talked with him, trying
to get him to leave for a sanitarium.
It is said Murphy got an idea into his
head that after he was dead and gone
Shutze would take his place as cashier
at the bank.
The two men were devotedly at-
tached to each other. Murphy was
fifty years old.
«ills introduced in the House; By
Air. Boutell (111.), to remove the tax
on proprietary medicines; Represen-
tative Cochran (Mo.), for a constitu-
tional amendment authorizing an in-
come tax; Reperesentative Knox
(Mass.), for the taking up and recoin-
age of the Hawaiian silver coins; Mr.
Levy (N. Y.) asking the Secretary of
War for an itemized account of all re-
ceipts and expenditures in Cuba.
