A RESOLUTION was introduced at the
session of the Missouri Grand Lodge of
Masons last month, declaring it to be a
violation of Masonic morals for a men,
Der to be engaged in the sale of liquor of
any kind; that all persons 50 engaged
should be barred from entering the order
The resolution was referred to commit
tee who, after consideration, reported as
follows:
''In our opinion it is not proper for the
Grand Lodge to change the requisites for
admission, but it ought to declare that
drunkenness has ever been and is still a
Masonic offense, and that it follows that
persons who keep bars ought to be held
amenable for violation of Masonic prin-
ciples. We recommend that the business
Of saloon keeping be hereby declared to
be Masonic Offense, and those engaged
in that business are liable to be dealt with
for un-Masonic conduct"
In commenting upon this action, the
Mason City Qowa) Republican says: This
action of the grand lodge Of Missouri is
not new at all to the well-known unwrit-
ten law of the order. The difficulty has
ever been, the laxlty of enforcing the
commands Of the law relating to drunk
enness. 1t is forbidden by all the pub
lished laws. It is forbidden-sternly So
by the unpublished laws. Yet, in the face
of all these prohibiting commands, a
great many members of the order use
strong drink to excess. 1t is move in
the right direction by the Missouri Ma
sons to put stop to such fragrant abuses.
Masonry teaches its vetaries to be temper
ate, moral, courteous, and in high de-
gree respectable in all their personal hab-
its, and honorable and honest in dealing
with all persons.

affirmed that it was not an unusual occur

it was the great contraction of the sandy

great crevices are to be seen in the ground

SAN ANGELA.
Especial to The statesman.1


SAN ANGELA, Nov. 29.-At l 30
o'clock this morning an alarm of fire
was sounded, and the san Angela
book store and the Tom Green Times
Printing Company were discovered to
be in flames. The fire made such
rapid Roadway that nothing was saved
from the building, and two printers,
sleeping i'll the rear room, barely es-
capped. The flames rapidly spread to
the harness and saddle shop of An
drew McCorkle, adjoining on the
west, and then to DR.. S. L. S. smiths
new drug store on the corner, and a
building in the rear of the drug store
occupied as sleeping rooms. These
buildings were all rapidly consumed
Owing to the fact that little or no
wind was stirring, the fire was con-
fined to these four buildings, though
the building occupied by the Concho
National Bank, on the opposite corner,
and the Great Western stables, on the
east, were only saved by the heroic
efforts of tke citizens, aided by the
soldiers with their water wagon from
Fort Concho. Another building
further up the street caught
on Ur0 from Inc nyluS
cinders, but the flames were promptly
subdued. Had the fire spread to the
Concho National Bank building al
most the entire business part OF the
town would have been destroyed.
The losses are about as follows:
Kibbee & Robinson, book and music
store, $500, no insurance; Tom Green
Times Printing company, $1,000, no
insurance; Adam Nickel, saddle and
harness shop, $1,000, insured for $500;
DR.. Smith, drug store, 5000, insured
for $3.50; w. S. Wick, two buildings
occupied by book store, printing
Office and sleeping rooms, $2l00, in
sured for $14OO. Nothing was saved
from the book store and printing
Office, and as they were not insured
the loss is total. James Kibbee and G.
Robinson were the principal loosers,
and the loss falls heaviest on them, as
nearly all of their worldly possessions
were swept away. DR.. Smiths stock
was saved, but none of Adam
MeckePs. The origin of the fire has
not been discovered, but it was either
incendiary or faulty fue and rickety
old stove. All the parties will re.
sumo business as soon as possible anC
stock can be secured.

PALESTINE.
LSpecial to The statesman.l


PALESTINE, Nov. 29.-The session
of the district court has thus far been
taken up with civil cases of only Local
Importance. The lawyers and
loungers falling into politics discuss
the chances Of the various legal lights
who are mentioned to succeed Judge
Edwards, who retires after this term,
the Temodelling of judicial districts
by the last legislature having put his
home county. San Augustine, in an
other district. Senator Gooch could
have the place, but doesn't want it,
another term in the senate. Then
there is Col. Mum, of Crockett. and a
dozen more in the same county, and
every prominent member of the bar in
Henderson and Anderson counties.
Judge Edwards will not be q candi-
date in the new district where he re-
sides.
The newly projected railroad from
some point near Athens, in Hender-
son county, to Palestine, and thence
through the pineries of east Texas,
seems to be in Il fair way to success.
There has been about $4,000 raised in
Palestine, and it is anticipated that
the sum will be largely increased.
There is to be mass meeting at the
courthouse next week to push the
project, and all the business houses of
Palestine will close during the time
set for the meeting, so that all may
nave an opportunity to be present.
THANKSGIVING day was duly OBJ
served here, and things wor, quite q
holiday look. The large Northern ell
ement in our community kept the day
with old-timed merriment and turkey
dinners.
