"REMINISCENCES OF MASONRY AND
ANTI-MASONRY.
An Exciting Demonstration in Boston.

Inc Freemasons have been numerous fra
ternity from very early period. Some of the
founders OF our republic, including Washing
ton, were Masons. Up to 1926 the institution
went on increasing in the United States. and
was power in the land. In volume ON Ma
sonry written by Freemason, and published in
New York in 1927, the number then belonging
to the order in the United States is set down
at sixty thousand. Like all numerous orders
it has had some indiscreet members
In 1926 an address was delivered before
lodge in New London, Connecticut, by W.T..
Brainerd, in which he said, 'What is Masonry
now? 1t is powerful. 1t comprises men of
rank. wealth, office and talent, in power and
out of power, and that in almost every Mace
where power is important. 1t comprises large
numbers from all classes, active men united
together, and capable of being directed by the
efforts OF others, so as to have the force of CON-
cert throughout the civilized world. They are
distributed too, with the means of knowing
each other, of keeping secret, and cooperating

and friends, and in one place as well as anotb-
or. SO powerful is it at this time that it fears
mourning from violence, either public Or private
lor IL mas every means to learn it in season to
counterfeit, defeat and punish it."
IL is hot strange that this and the like utter
ances should attract attention. A hostile feel

In 100 IL became known in the vicinity of Ba-
tavla that William Morgan, resident of that
place. Mason, had apostatized from the order.

Suspicious of Fo,,l Plav

Five weeks ago one Gabrielle Labelle of
Chelsea, near Augusta, mysteriously disap-
peared under circumstances indicating foul
play on the part Of some person or other. He
had recently contracted to purchase a farm in
that town. and certain parties supposed he had
on his person the money to pay for the same.
In reality the money was in other hands for
safe keeping. He was single man, and for
merly an inmate of the Soldiers Home. His
bank book, money, deeds and property are at
perate, and never absented himself without
first informing friends. The woods for miles
around have been secured carefully with no
definite results. A suspicious trail leading to
a swamp filled with water has been discovered
and awaits further developments. Certain
parties are suspected of committing the SUP
posed murder.
