worthy object, and as the drawings will be con-
Quoted on the falrest principles there need be no
fear Of any attempt on the part of the Managers
to defraud the public Of their money.
The FLORIDA RA1LRoAD.-The Fernandia C0u-
r-ier says that this road is fact approaching COM
peton, and it is expected that the entire line will
fbe in operation in few weeks time. The iron
draw bridge over the Amelia River is nearly finish

quantity Of rails from Hilton Head to complete
both the road and the turnouts. A number Of
white laborers have been procured at Charleston,
and more are contracted for. Arrangements have
been made for the erection of e1tensive docks and
storehouses at the termn alton of the track in the
harbor, and the company will spare no pains or
labor to put the road in perfect order.
| OLD MASONIC REIIcs.-We mentioned some
weeks ago an account Of an ancient Lodge in Scot
land that had been in existence for many centuries
and was probably the oldest that is now extant
Although the New World cannot compete with the
Old in this respect, it has many Masonic relics
that SAVIOR somewhat Of antiquity, and have been
/
riors, and who stood high in the Order.
At the recent Masonic celebration in Winchester
the apron worn by the orator, WILLIAM d. TRAY
ERs, ESQ.,. formerly belonged to General GEORGE
WASHINGTON, and was presented to him by Gene
raj LAFAYETTE, and has beautifully wrought on it
in silver and gold the flags Of France and the
United States combined, and forms by their COM
binstion the principal Masonic emblems. This
apron was presented to Mount Nebo Lodge, Of that
place, by one Of the Washington family in 1911,
and has since been carefully preserved by the
Lodge. The trowel used in the exercises was pre-
sented and used by Governor LEVI WNDER in lay
| ing the corner stone of the old Masonic Hall in
Baltimore in 1914, and afterwards was used in lay
| ing the cornerstone Of the Washington Monument
| of Baltimore, and also Of the Baltimore and Ohio
| Railroad Depot. It is Of solid gold, very heavy,
with an ivorv handle, and worth at present rates
nice little sum. 80

DEAR SR: Having noticed in your edition Of this

rounds Of the papers, to the effect that there is
Hebrew Government IN the United States, about to
can lfor loans and issas bonds IN the hameof the
IssasHtish Gosern1aent, ,fdf ha pntpOsa % aiding
in restoration to the Holy Land, I take leave to
inform you that such rumer is totally untrue and
uniounded., receive every Jewish paper pub

the various INSTITUTIONS Of our people, and am not
only ignorant Of any such Government, but like
wise fully satisfied that no plan Of that nature is
in existence or contemplated. The only associa-

Editors M,os On Tuesday evening, the 18th
inst q large and select audience assembled in the
Hibernian Hall, to witness an entertainment given
by the Harmonious, and we have no hesitation in
saying that it was one OF the best entertainments
Of the kind ever witnessed in this city. Among
such an array Of native talent, it is difficult to en-
ter into particulars but ono could but admire the
effect produced by the combination OF sweet
sounds. The clear, soft and sweet soprano OF
GLnp1rR, ninglng with the fine tenor Of ANTHo-
ny, and the rich bass Of AvoN, produced such dull
Get sounds as has seldom been our fortune to
listen to. "Father Come Home," was rendered
with mastery skill and thrilling effect, and we
predict that MIR. GLnnER continues to
pursue his present avocation, he will yet make
his mark in the musical world. Rg-dig-
dig, by HARRY LEE, was received with shouts OF
laughter which were soon changed into sighs by
the familiar lullaby Of the chorus, while BoycE, the
irrepressible comedian, succeeded in keeping the
audience in. Q continuous roar his performances
on the -sssrass n,ouqh-orgaa,n penny whistle and
beQo,os, we're truly wonderful, while his dancing
was only equa1led by that Of MAHoN and EATON.
This Troupe Of performers are, we learn, entirely
amateurs and natives, and as such deserve the
encouragement Of the community. Let tus, there
fore. show our appreciation Of native talent by
giving to these young men our encouragement
and patronage; they deserve 1t, and the people
cannot do better than to give them oah. We
hope to see an overwhelming house tomorrow
evening. All who call will enjoy pleasant even
ing. ,sS ,,-,
