rapidly risen to the first rank IN his profess
sion He has been long devoted mason
The productions from his pen in the re-
ports of the committee on foreign CORE
spondencc of the grand chapter of Wiscon-
sin, are among the ablest and best in Ameri-
can masonic literature. His large circle of
personal and masonic friends send to him
greeting and congratulations upon his
assuming the high and responsible duties
of grand master of masons of the Jurisdic-
ton Of Wisconsin. We shall look to Wis
consin, while he occupies the Grand East
for masonic light
JOHN II. LYNDE.
Stree our last issue says the .Nasoaic
Token, printed at Portland, Maine, another
of our past grand masters has been called
to walk through the valley of the shadow
of death.
When he was last in this city he appear
cd in excellent condition. and we were
therefore much startled by hearing in Feb
ruary that he was in failing health and pro-
posing trip to Florida. Early in March
he started for that state, and on arriving at
| Savannah was stricken down by an attack
of pneumonia, of which he died March
18TH
Bro. Lynde was born in Pomfret, VT, in
1927. His father removed to Norridge-
wock Me-, and lie learned the trade of
printer in the Office Of the Naine Farmer,
at Augusta.
In 1854 he bought onc-half of the Bangor
Wing anil Couricy, and afterwards became
the sole proprietor.
For twenty years he has been an active
mason, having worked assiduously in all
the bodies in Bangor, and having served as
as holding important offices in the other
grand bodies. In the Scottish Rite, he was
a member of the Supreme Council, $50.
His funeral took place at Bangor, and
was conducted by the Grand Lodge, Grand
Master Cargill presiding, assisted by Past
Grand Master Drummond.
His ability as & mason has been made
well known to the craft throughout the
country by our published proceedings, but
it is fitting that we should also speak of the
warm friendships which lie inspired by his
amiable and upright character, his inflexi-
bic fidelity 20 his trusts, and his pleasant
and cordial manners.
We have enjoyed his friendship for TWEEN
ty years, in intimate connection with him
in business, in masonry, and in social rela-
tons, and have found him ever manly, gen
erous, and kindly, and in depositing our
sprig Of Acacia upon his grave we feel that
we are bidding farewell to one who has
greatly honored our fraternity by his con-
nection with it.
DEATH OF \ DISTINGUISHED MASON.
\ telegram from London reports as fol-
lows "rhe Earl of Dalhousic died yester-
day, aged seyenty-three years. RI. Hon.
Fox Maule, earl of Dalhousie, was born on
the 22d of April, 1901 lie was the son of
the late Lord Panmure, and Il descendant
of Sir Allan Ramsay He served in the
English army, and also in Parliament and
the cabinet lie succeeded to the earldom
on the death of his cousin. the late COVER
nor general of India He was at one time

land.
THE OLDEST MASON Is DEAD.
Bro. David Stiles died at Dubuque, Iowa,
September 24th, fS73, aged lOS years. He
was born in Woodbury., Conn, May 21st,
1866, and made a mason in lodge No. 1G, at
Toronto, Canada, in 1891. His grandfather
was president of Yale College from 17,7 to
1905. In 1888 he was landlord of a hotel
in the village of Chicago, and one of the
twenty-eight voters who organized local
government there
The place of Oldest Mason is now open
for competition. New London, Conn
claims it for Henry Hampstead, who en-
tered in 1915.
We have in Portland. Edward Howe,
who entered Ancient Landmark lodge in
, April, 1905 al the age of twenty five,
having been initiated in some other lodge
previously Charles Farley, who Joined
Ancient Landmark in June, 1914 and in
Limington lives Arthur Macarthur, who
: joined Ancient Landmark in May, 1911.
The New London man may sit down for
the present, though we don't claim the
place for Portland, as we doubt not that
some are living who date back to 1900.
We object, however to anybody bring
ing on the veteran James Russell, now in
Dayton, Ohio, as we have already giver
our reasons for thinking him an impostor
