Of the beautiful celluloid eye glasses, the famous Spencer Optical Manufacturing Co.,, 13 Maiden Lane, New York, manufactured 12,OOO pairs during last April.

The ightness of the celluloid frames, (25 pairs weighing only one ounee) their strength, (they can be dropped on the hardest substance without in jury) their beauty, their insusceptibility to atmospheric changes, and the beautiful lenses are points which account for the great sales of these glasses.

Weleome Address by WorshipfuI Master
 Tvvass-Resposase by Grand Master Bar
 low.
 Nearly one hundred and fifty members of the fraternity paid Hiram Lodge, No. l, a visit last evening. Eighty seven of the visit ing brethren came down from Ansonia and Birmingham on special train The Grand Lodge was represented by Grand Master Barlow, of Birmingham, and Grand Senior Warden Waldron of this city. Worshipful Master Julius Twiss welcomed the visitors as follows:
 Brothersof sister lodges am glad to meet you here this evening, and am especially pleased to meet also our Grand Master, oth- CT officers of the grand lodge and so many past masters of other lodges. 4 more ire -auent interchange of friendly visits between lodges would make us better acquainted with each other and would establish as an actual fact among us that beautiful symbolic maxim of the order which should bind us into lone sacred band or society of friends and broth ers." Operative Masonry, believe, in it's in- fancy, takes us back to the earliest period of Egyptian history. To it has since been added speculative Masonry, which consists, in part at least, of one grand and impressive work Its excellent rules and use- ful maxims, it's teaching of the inn mortality or the soul and It's grand simplicity make it more and more impressive, the better it is understood The institution renews it's youth with each succeeding cen tury, and keeps pace with the progress of the ages, in civilization, education and religion. It is therefore as members of such a time honored institution that we can meet this evening and call each other brothers. And as we are taught that the three jewels of 8 Master Mason are friendship, morality and brotherly love- permit me then, in the spirit of these sentiments and in behalf of Hiram Lodge, to extend to you our thanks for this friendly visit and to express the hope that we may have the pleasure of meeting you here many times in the future.
 Grand Master Barlow on behalf of the visiting brothers replied, expressing the qualification felt by them all for their kind reception and the opportunity offered of en. toying the friendly intercourse. Similar re- marks were also made by a Past Master oi Morning Star Lodge of Seymour. Hiram Lodge then exemplifed the work in the third degree, the candidate being @ young lawyer of this city, after which the party repaired to the spacious banquet hall adjoining the lodge room and partook of a bountiful sup ply of refreshments prepared for the occa- sion. The Birmingham and Ansonia delega tion departed for home on their special trair about eleven o'clock

Early Closing.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND coURnR:
 Will you please allow me, in behalf of the many clerks employed in the fancy stores of this city. to extend our thanks through the columns of your valuable paper to our en- ployers who so kindly endeayored to make arrangements to close their stores at an early hour during the three extremely warm sum- mer months This would have been success but for the action of one individual, thereby giving nearly a score of clerks no opportunity for rest or recreation during the warm even ings While we are sorry that one person should have made so many extra hours or labor. vet we have the consolation of know ing that the majority would have gladly given us our evenings; we also are sorry that this one person should have so far wandered from the golden rule which he so strongly advo- cated when he was an employe instead Of an employer as he now is. =.
