The Masonic Fraternity.

The following account of the doings
of the Masonic jubilee in this city
last week Wednesday, after we had
gone to press, is taken from the last
issue of the Stevens Point Journal:
"The Masonic fraternity of this city
have for some time contemplated Wis
iting their brethren at Grand Rapids,
and receiving a courteous invitation
from the Grand Rapids Lodge to
come down Wednesday evening and
do the work, nearly fifty members of
Evergreen Lodge assembled at the
Green Bay depot at 6 o'clock that
evening, and when conductor Louis
Hoeffel shouted call aboard - his
command was at once obeyed, and
engineer John Long pulled the lever,
w. w. Mitchell-who occupied a
seat in the cab-rang the bell, and
the jolly crowd were on their way. A
JOURNAL reporter caused the roll Of
the several crafts to be called when
the following brethren were found to

Grand Rapids, the visitors were met
at the depot by Messrs. Robert Far
rish, V. Talmadge, Lem. KRONER,
Chas. Slocum and others of the
fraternity, and driven to the Witter
House, and from there piloted to the
hall. Although there were upwards
of one hundred present. which incIud-
ed quite large delegation from Pitts
vile Lodge and home members, there
were seats for ALL The work was
done by the regular officers of Ever
green Lodge-A F. Redfeld, w. NJ,

Tyler, and considering our boys had
only been in Office for short time, We
think they are deserving Of consider
able credit. After the exercises at
the hall, brother Slocum announced
that supper was in waiting at the
Witter House. Some forty fell into
line and marched to the hotel, while
the balance remained in the hall and
had good social time, until the re-
turn of the first delegation from
supper, when another set went down.
The tables were filled three times
the seating capacity Of the dining hall
not being sufficient to accommodate
such an immense crowd at one time,
but all we're served, and with a most
tempting supper, gotten up in elegant
style, the many good things being
thoroughly tested by the hungry
workmen from the temple. We were
much pleased to find our Grand Rapids
brethren so comfortably situated
with large lodge room conveniently
located in brick building, and not
only comfortably, but elegantly furish-
ed It is due the Grand Rapids
people in general, and our Masonic
friends Messrs. Parrish, Talmadge,
Slocum, Kroner, Herschleb, Jackson,
Witter, Jones, Tibb;ts, Fontaine,
Quin, Worthington, Gerard and num-
erous others whose names we have
forgotten in particular, to say that it
has seldom fallen to our lot to be re-
ceived more cordially, or entertained
in a more "royap' manner. 1t was
with reluctance that the Steven Point
ers bade goodbye to their neighbors,
which they did about midnight, arriy-
ing home at / O'Clock.

The bloodshed and destruction of
property in Chicago teaches the les
son that nothing is gained by vio-
lence, but all will be lost through it
Anarchists not laboring men did the
work. The anarchist leaders never
work, except with their mouths
when they advocate the overthrow
of all authority. True labor asks
justice only and nothing more. The
Chicago riots turn public opinion
against labor and injure the cause.
All true friends of labor deprecate
the actions of the wild frenzy of an
anarchist mob. The influence of all
laboring men should be exerted to
wards drawing the support of the
people to the right. The man who
supports honest labor should in turf
be supported and encouraged. The
decline in trade OF business is the
most powerful weapon IN defence O.
an unjust course towards the
working man by any corporation o.
individual. This cannot be effected
by violence but 10y convincing thu
public that capital is injuring thu
many Tor the benefit of the few
The man who refuses to patronize {
mean railroad or an extortionatt
monopoly is doing more to remedy
the grievances complained of thar
the man who destroys life and prop
erty. Then, too, see that the PEG
pie elect the Legislatures and no
the railroads and corporations as il
too much the case.

JEFF. DAVIS HEARD FROM.

Wednesday of last week, the cor
ner-stone of monument to the Con
fede:ate dead was laid at Montgom
cry, Ala. 1t was big day. Thoas
ands of people were there. Jetfer
son DAVIS was introduced as the
Ex-President of the Confederate
States of America" He made q
very imprudent speech. Twenty
years ago he could have made no
other. Twenty years after this, if he
lives, he would make the same. The
people and the country are following
in the pursuits of peace. A govern
ment according to the South's own
desires now has power. The one
idea North and South is to go ahead
JEFF. Davis alone revives the spirit
of the past, encourages the issues
that have been settled by the sword,
and proclaims aloud that the spirit
of Southern liberty is not dead.
Twenty-thousand voices applaudhim.
His utterances are not endorsed by
leading Democrats. Secretary La
mar denies that he is voicing the
sentiments of the South. From
Washington dispatches have been
sent to southern leaders to guard
against such extreme demonstra-
tions. No one finds the least fault
with honoring the dead. The coun-
try honors them alike, something no
other country did in all the history
Of the world. But no good can
come at this time from stirring up
a young generation with all the zeal
in that direction entertained by
their fathers half lifetime ago.
Nowadays no good can come from
fighting the battles over again.
Besides. it is bound to bring a
false construction upon the course OF

Before the last Presidential cleo
ton, party leaders and supporters
promised that change would bring
better times, more work and higher
wages. Now some of these same
men ask Republican papers to ex-
plain why prices are not higher or
times better. This cheek is only
equalled by the man who criticises
the course of a paper he does not
subscribe for. There is want of
principle in both. All the same,
there are several good articles on
qco0l on our first page.

The Baltimore and Ohio freight
handlers in Chicago made request
for an increase OF wages, and will
wait till Friday for an answer from
the principal officials. The Switch
mems Union of Chicago resolved to
aid the freight handlers in their
strike for eight hours. The major
ity Of the packing-house proprietors
OF Chicago have acceded to the mems
request for ten hours pay for eight
hours work, and several have COM
promised on nine hours. The Lum,

to grant the mems demand, giving
as reasons that the lumber trade OF
Chicago had greatly declined.

early part Of the present century,
and was famous for his reputed
wealth, which he often said was bur
led on his farm. After his death
search was unsuccessfully made for
it. Wilson happened to get posses

Stump's affairs and among them was
a diagram showing the locality of
the buried treasure. He dug it up

RICHMOND, VA, May 6.-The
Supreme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia to-day rendered a decision in
the case of Z. j. Cluverius, convic,
ted in the Hastings Court of this
city of the murder on March 13,
1885, of Fannie Lillian Madison.
The Judgment of the lower court is
fully sustained, the eight bills of ex-
ception filed by the prisoners cOun-
sci being overruled. The opinion
was delivered by Judge I. Il.
Fauntleroy, the court standing four
to one in favor of sustaining the
Judgment of the lower court. Judge
Hinton dissented, being in favor of
new trial. Cluverius will surely
hang unless executive clemency in
terposes. The time first fixed for
his execution having long since
passed by, he will have to be brought
before the Hastings Court for re-
sentence. Cluverius had great hopes
that the admission of the torn note
by the lower court would get him a
new trial.

The Evolution Of the Tomato

The evolution of the tomato is going
on in a remarkable way. Not many
years ago the fruit was mostly skin and
seeds, but the newest varieties are al
most solid pulp, with very few seeds.
Possibly, as in the case of the banana,
the seeds will yet disappear altogether
and the plants will have to be propa-
gated by cuttings. Chicago Herald
