RUssELLvuLE, ARK, Oct. 26, sd
Brother Masons OF the 18th Dist OF
Ark. / am informed that there has
been Masonic Lodge of Relief form
ed at Baltimore, Nd, for the purpose
OF detecting all imposters and frauds
that travel through our country. As
frequent inroads are constantly be-
ing made into the charitable organ
izations Of our order by unafiilliates,
and by imposters, tramps, drunkards
and adventures Of both sexes, it has
been proposed to organize National
Board 81 Relief for the purpose Of
detecting such imposition and bring
ing the guilty persons to justice.
Too much kind-heartedness, and .
credulous belief in unauthenticated
statements OF distress from appIi
cants, has led TO well known impo-
sition, and enabled designing impos-
tiers to travel from one end Of the
country to the other, collecting con
siderable sums daily, and spending
the proceeds in riotous living. The
success they meet with encourages
them to adopt such life as profess
ION, and By the studied changes Of
their outward appearance and con
yenient aliases, they go about unmo-
Tested. The body to whom they APP
ply for assistance. too often affords
them the contents Of bat full Of
liberaIity, amounting 70 from five to
fifty dollars or more, merely upon
their making pittiful appeal for -
sistance. 1t can be seen at once that

ion is made use OF, that be will not

vidual in question Is still pursuing
his imposition upon the craft with
no apparent way to head him of and

and should be stamped out BY her.
culean effort, and 1t will require no
little energy TO keep it suppressed.
That the true principles Of charity
should be fostered and the fraternity
at large protected from the inslnuat
ing imposition Of designing individ
uals, we earnestly ask your candid
and hearty support. ! hope every
good mason Ia the state will read
this, and II they find out any one Of
those sharpers travelling, they. will
report it to me, / will report II 10 the
