The English or York and the Scottish rites are the only two practiced In the United States and are recognised hy Masons generally.

George Mayhew Moulton, most eml nent grand master of the Grand En campment of the United States, Knights Templars, Is a leading manufacturer of Chicago, and holds a record as a sol dier during the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war. Mr. Moulton Is the. guest of honor of the Georgia Knights Templars at their conclave In Atlanta, this being, the first time that the head of the national order has evsr visited Georgia. The follow ing sketch of his career will be of In terest to all Templars. It Is taken from the Tyler-Keystone, a leading Masonic Journal; “George Mayhew Moulton was born In Readsboro, Vt.. In 1861, and moved to Chicago two years later. He be gan business with his father In 1868 and has ever since been closely aseo- elated with the growth of the city, hav ing been president of the Pioneer Flre- prrof Construction Co., - the Produce Cold Storage Exchange, Commercial Vault Co., and the River Bank Coal Co., besides his own firm of elevator con structors, the Geo. M. Moulton Co. His record as a soldier has been as praise worthy as that of his civil life. Por years he was an officer of the state mi litia and saw considerable service In the great riots of '86 and '96. He was col onel of the Second regiment L N. G., and took part In the Spanish war. In 1898 Colonel Moulton was detached from the regiment and ordered on spe cial duty to Havana, where he was as signed to the duty of organising the police department for that city, thus becoming the first chief of police on the Island of Cuba under the American flog. “Brother Moulton's Masonic record Is what one might eXpect from such a man. He was raised In Covenant lodge No. '528, February 26, 1875, and received all the other degrees In the York Rite the same year. He was grand master of the grand lodge In 1901-1908, grand high priest, 1889, most Illustrious grand master, 1989; grand commander, 1890; commander-ln-chlef, consistory, 32-de- gree, 1890, 1891, 1892; grand sover eign of the Imperial council of the Red Cross of Constantins, 1899, 1900. Ho Is now grand marshal of the camp In th; supreme council, thirty-third degree, for the northern Jurisdiction. He has also tften for. many years a member of the Royal Order of Scotland, being the provincial senior grand warden."
