by the Paris criminal court.
.Sarah Uaroumaer, the murdered woman,

Thereupon, the gong to which Coloney be

The animal election of officers of Qeor
ght lodge. No. 96, Masons, was held last
Tuesday night In the Masouic temple, at
South Forsyth and 3fltcbel! streets.
A large number of the members and vis
iting Masons were present and the occasion
was greatly enjoyed. Directly at the
elusion i>f the business session, a splendid
banquet was spread.
Several Speeches were made, all of which
and the mcnilicrs arc enthusiastic over the
outlook. Tho new officers are all faithful
mid energetic and the new term promises
*o he a great success.
The following is « list of the officers:
Dr. WUlhim C. Warren, worshipful mas

MASONS IN PUBLIC LIFE,
SUBJECT OF FINE ADDRESS
The following la from The Maaonlc
Herald:
Hon. Charles Emory Bmlth, editor
of The Philadelphia Press, In an Inter,
eating address before the members of
Lodge No. 61, of kVIlkesbarre, Pa., re
cently said:
"ft htu been said and aald with Jus
tice that Masona carried the new-born
republic successfully through Its revo
lutionary struggle. Washington, Frank
lin and their compeers were oot only
good and devoted Masons, but they
constituted the most remarkable group
emblema of Washington are still cher
ished, and said, Tf the blank politi
cians will gat out of the way and leave
the Issues to us Muons, we will settle
the difficulty.'
"In tho third great epoch of the re
public—the epoch of expansion which
carried Its flag across the seas and
lifted It Into the position of a world
power—Masonry had Its part.
"The noble president who guided It
through that period—the wise, gra
cious, whlte-souled McKinley—was a
Mason, and no man ever better ex
emplified In his life, character and
work the true Bplrlt and principles of
Masonry, It was my fortune to bo at
of patriotic and creative statesmen In his side as he stood with Muonic ccre-
the annals of mankind. The officers of
the Revolutionary army were mostly
Muons, and aintd all the Jealousy and
disaffection which prevailed elsewhere,
amid the doubt and Indifference which
weakened the cause, they stood togeth
er with the fidelity they learned with
their Masonic vows.
"In the second great epoch which
redeemed and saved the Union, there
was a Free Masonry which mitigated
the horrors of the strife and which
crossed the line of division In Its senti
ment of good will. I have heard the
story that at the , beginning of 18*1
General Beauregard visited the lodge
room of Frederick, where the Muonic
monlal at the tomb of Washington on
the centennial anniversary of the death
of the Father of his Country: I henrd
him pay tho tribute of one Muon to
the memory of another and offer tho
homage of the then latest president of
the republic to the first.
"And though that president Is gone,
taken by the cruel hand of the assassin.
It Is still true. The virile, honest, fear
less president of today Is a Mason. HI,
typical maxim la a square deal, and
that In Its symbolism and Its reality Is
Masonic. We work by the compasses
and tho square—they are the Imple
ments of our craft; we mean to keep
to the plumb line of truth, we seek to
hold the level of duty.”—Advocate.

Is In bard luck, Saturday morning,
when he threw away hi* legs In order

had been selling toy mjee and they
proved such good seller* that he soon
got rid of his stock. He couldn't get
any more, but he hud some other stuff

legs. He took off his artificial legs and
left hts crutches at home. When he

walking on his knees offering his un
salable stock, and It wasn't long before
a sympathetic public had purchased
the last piece of It.
