ANTI-SECRET.-The convention of
those opposed to all secret societies,
which convened in the Congregational
church in this place Oh last week Tues.
day, continued through Wednesday,

Poisonous Medicines.

Searching for the Site of King SOlOmon's
Temple.

The Hon, Richard Nauy, Past II. w.
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania, A. Y. NJ, in his valedic
tory address, stated that "during the
past few years a scientific association in
London has voluntarily undertaken to
institute discoveries on the site of King
Soloman's Temple, for the purpose of
ascertaining what yet remains of the
foundation and superstructure of that
wonderful ediiice. 1t is beyond doubt
that enough has been done to satisfy
the Freemason that the sa cred and pro.
fame history of this temple is corrobora-
ted. When we hear from an eye wit.
ness, that the stones of the foundation,
which have been brought to light, are
each designated by mark, cut into
each stone, which has de6ed the learning
of the philologist and archeologists,
we are animated with joy in which
only the Mason can participate. Every
effort should be made to continue these
explorations. Freemasons have most
direct interest in the result. ], there.
fore, invite my brethren, the Grand
Masters Of the Grand Lodges of the
United States, TO take such action as
will supply with material aid these ,ex;
by evidence thus grasped from the de.
stroying power Of time, confirmatory of
many of our esoteric teachings. Might
it not be well for those Past Grand Mas.
tiers who take an interest in this subject
to unite in securing means to effect this
most desirable object. The symbology
OF Masonry is most interesting study.
The truths which are hidden under
these symbols may yet receive new
life in resurrection which would con-
firm the faith Of the fraternity. l
would earnestly invite for this subject
the early and practical consideration of
the distinguished brVhren to whom ]
now appeal for effort to this end"

Hon. ELLIS LEWIS, ex.Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
died at his residence in Philadelphia, on
Sunday morning the 10th of March. lie
was born at Lewisberry, a village OF
York county, May 10, 170s, so that his
age was nearly seventy-three years
Soon after Harrisburg became the seat
of government of the State, young Lew

met in the printing office of James
Peacock, editor and owner of the Penn
sylrania Republican, part of his duty
having been as carrier of the paper In
the then small village. He perfected
himself as printer, and in 1919, became
associated with l. X. ToRBERT in the
publication of the old Lycoming Gazette
He continued as one of the editors up to
July 81, 1921, when he was succeeded by
II. CORY ELL, Esq. His tates, however
led him to the study Of the law, and he
was admitted to practice in 1922. He
also entered the field of politics as a
Democrat, and in 1924, was appointed
District Attorney for Dauphin county,
by Gov. HESTER. In 1882 he was elec'
ted to the State House of Representa-
tives, and in January, 1888, Gov. WOLF
appointed him Attorney.General. In
October of the same year he was ap'
pointed President Judge Of the Eighth
Judicial District, and in January, 1913,
President of the Second District.
At the first election by the people OF
Judges of the Supreme Court, in Octo-
Der, 1851, Judge LEWIS was one of the
successful candidates. He became Chief
Justice on the 18th of November, 1854,
and retained the position until Novem'
Der, 18th, 1857. He was unanimously
renominated for reelection by the Demo
cratic State Convention in the same year,
but he declined it, and retired to private
life. In 1858 he was appointed one ol
the Commissioners to revise the civil
code of the State. For his acknowl-
edged superior acq uaintance with medi-
cal Jurisprudence he received the degree
of Doctor of Medicine from the Phila-
delphia College of Medicine, and the
degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred
on him by Pennsylvania University in
KY, and by Jefferson College, Canons'
burg, Pa. A number of his decisions

Mutilated Currency.

The Washington Daily Patriot of the
Oath inst, says:
"The United States Treasurer is in
daily receipt of numerous letters, ,enclos.
ing slips cut from various newspapers,
to the effect that he has decided that
postmasters must receive mutilated
United States notes, not more than one
twentieth of each note is missing, and
that in fractional currency not more
than one-tenth is missing. 1t would
seem from these letters that there is a
general impression prevailing among
pGstmasters, that they are compelled to
redeem mutilated currency. In reply
to such letter the Treasurer says that
he has never ventured to instruct post
masters in relation to the receipt of cur
rency by them, nor made any decision
on the subject. He has merely referred
postmasters and others seeking infor-
nation on the subject, to circular No.
76, from the Post Office Department, ,un-
der which postmasters are required "to
receive in payment for postage stamps
and stamped enrelopes, United States
notes of which not more than one.twen-
tieth is missing, and fractional notes OF
which not more than one.tenth is miss.
ing, if clearly genuine.
He also calls attention to the fact
that under that circular postmasters
are not required to receive for any pur-
pose mutilated currency; that is to say,
currency of which more than the pro.
portions abo We referred to is missing
nor are they required to receive curren-
cy of which less than those proportions
is missing for any other purpose than
that indicated above. In other words,
they are not required to redeem curren
cy. Mutilated currency is redeemable
by the Treasurer of the United States,
and by no other officer, and under the
instructions of the Department, is not
receivable in payment of any publ c
dues, either at par or less"
