His body was laid beside that of his wife in the military reservation cemetery. There was no service In the chapel of the -academy, as had been planned. The special car bringing the body from Washington was delayed by the ittorm, and the hour was so late It was deemed wisest to make the cere monies as brief as the due dignities would allow. Officers who have attended ever military funeral within the last thir ty years could recall no other held by lamplight. PI RCH VSK OF LEE PLACE SAID TO DE PENDING tn.it.l Trim.for Not Effected A'ef.

DEATH REAPS HARVEST AMONG JUDGES OF TWO STATES Savannah, Ga., Dec. 7.—Officers and members of Solomon’^ Lodge of Ma sons are preparing to celebrate the 175t,h anniversary of its organization, Dec. 16. Among the several valuable relics which this lodge, said to be the oldest in point of continuous existence in America, pog3'e!sses Is an old Bible presented to Iho original lodge by Gen. Ogleth'orpe, who was the founder of Masonary in Georgia; The record of tho Bible is complete. The (title page, bearing tho signature of the founder of tho state and the lodge, has been torn away by vandals, but the book otherwise is intact. Jt is being pre served na a priceless heirloom by the l°dge. ^ AVns Twice Christened. Tho story of tho town of Suribury being the birthplace- of (Masonry in Georgia is said to be mythical by those best posted in (Masonic history. Tho town, which Is now dead, was not laid out until 1758, at 'whfch time Ogleth'orpe, alleged to have founded the lodge there, was In England com manding a division of* the British army. Solomon’s (Lodge dates from 1735, during which year It wait- char tered by the Gran'j- Lodge of England. The original charter, made out In the name of “King Solomon’s Lodge,” repudiated by the colonists after they had gotten'-their first breath of free doin, and another charter, reorganlz- "ing Solomon's Lodge,” but ellmioV , tug the word "King” from the title was petitioned for. The original charter wad brought over by Oglethorpe upon his first voyage. Tho lodge was prob ably organized In 1733, soon after the colony WI.-I3 founded, buit Its official history can only bo reckoned from the date of Its charter. Suvannnli Lodge Is Oldest. Tbl-j charter was burned during the occupation of Savannah by -the British In 1778, and another, the one under which tho lodge now Operates, was not secured until 178G. There Is, therefore, no written record of the history of the lodge prior to thill time, except as shown upon the records of th'e Grand Lodge of England. The verbnl record has, however, been handed down faith fully from generation to generation among tho-members of the craft. The Charleston Lodge, which' is also known oil Solomon’s, and the Royal Exchange Lodge of Boston, both claim to be as old if not older than Solomon's lodge, hut It Is said that an exnminatlon of th 0 records of tho Grand lodge of England will disclose proofs In favor of tho contention of tho (Savannah) lodge. Tho 175t'h anniversary of the lodge Is to ho celebrated with democra:'c simplicity. Tho usual anoiversary work will bo gone through with, follower! by tho reports of the retiring officers i tho election of now onelr, 'It Is slblo that some of tho older in;,niters of the lodge will mako addresses, b thcro wflll bo no programme of t! character. A handsome souvenir me dallion will bo presented to each me-m- i';«r of the lodgo who Is preaent. Invl-. tations to members of tho order Join tho lodge on this occasion v Issued yesterday. The best-dressed Automobilist in this town wears a smart Stein- Bloch automobile coat. You can drive a car and [be stylish too. He purchased the coat here. He also wears a Stein-Bloch sack suit. Both fit him better, he says, than any clothes he has ever worn. RYLANDER SHOE CO. Clothiers and Furnishers.
