Celebration of Their Centennial Yester-
day in Austin.
The centennial of the order of color
ed MaSonS in the United States was
celebrated here yesterday. The Austin
lodge, joined by delegations from Dali
las, San Antonio, Galveston, Waco,
Chapel Hid and other prominent
points in the state, proceeded in pro-
cession of about 100 persons, accom-
panied with brass band, from the
depot in this city to the Metropolitan
A. NJ. E. church, corner of Ash and
San Antonio streets. The church was
crowded with colOred people Of both
sexes, there being also present num-
Der of white persons, including few
ladies'.
After chant by the choir, with
organ accompaniment, by Misses Z.
III. Jones and Jennie Harris. prayer
was offered by the grand chaplain,
Rev. Mack Henson, OF San Antonio.
A copy of the first charter granted to
colored MasonS in the United States
was read by the secretary, Mr.. John
Debruhl, of Austin. 1t was dated
September go, 1884, and was sent from
London to Prince Hall and Others in
Massachusetts.
After singing by the choir and music
| by the brass bard, an address was de-
| livered by Grand Master Rev. Grant,
of Austin, who among other data,
stated that there are 81 chief and 1,505
subordinate lodges of colored Masons
in the United States, embrac-
ing 10000 members. The ceLten-
NAL was being celebrated to-day
! yesterday in Philadelphia with over
thousand colored Masons present.
The speaker concluded his rather in
structive and well received address
with an apt quotation from the
Masonic poem, entitled, "The Square
and Level" He urged friendly rela-
tion5 between the whites and colored
people.
Rev. Mack Henson made few ap'
propriate remarks in reference to the
objects of Masonry.
Rev. A. L, Jackson, of San Antonio
made coed natured address, in which
he argued that colored people were
mistaken, some of them, in supposinG
that white people of the south were
not as good friends to them as thoss
of the north.

1t is stated that the shrinkage in
taxable values in Illinois this year
amounts to 100000. David Davis

The topers of New Jersey are happy
at the prospect of an extra large apple
crop, The amount of cider and apple
jack made in that state this fall and
winter is expected to be greater than
ever before. 1t seems that Mr.. st.

A curious case has arisen in Eng.
land. The captain, mate and one sea-
man of the yacht Mignonette have
been arrested and held for trial on a
charge of murder, in that they, under
circumstances similar to those which
compelled cannibalism in the Greedy
party, killed and ate boy who was in
their party. Was the act murder, OF

The sugar planters in the British
islam DIS are not prospecting any more
thon their brethren in Cuba and the
United States. The cause is the same
eyerywhere-the great beet sugar pro
ductlon in Europe. 1t is probable that
France and Germany will be COMPEL
ed to discontinue the payment OF
bounties to the beet sugar producers in
the early future. When this takes
place rise in the price of sugar may
be expected, provided the making OF
sugar from sorghum in this country is
not phenomenally successful.
