COMMITTED SUICIDE.

A Guilford Young Lady Commits Suf-
 eide After Being Betrayed By Her
 Admirer.
 Miss Hattie Allen, nineteen years of age and an orphan, has for several years been liv- ing with the family of Mir. Starks in Guilford. A short time since Mrs. Starks noticed that
 Miss Allen was in 8 delicate condition, and on Wednesday had long and very grave talk with her about the matter, in which it is stated that she made known the name of her
 betrayer, but this report could not be veri- fed, although she is known to have kept
 company with Guilford young man. Miss
 Allen seemed to feel her disgrace very much.
 and when the Stsrks family arose Thursday
 morning they found that the girl had already
 arisen, started the fire, put on the tea kettle
 and left the house. Mrs. Starks thought the girl had gone on some errand, but when she failed to return at dinner time the family were greatly frightened and party was at once made up to go and search for her, it be- ing feared that she might have made away with herself. Late Thursday afternoon some clammers returning home discovered the body of the unfortunate girl on the bank of the Guilford river at Hogshead Point, near the mouth of the river, where her body had been left by the falling tide. The discover ! CTS at once removed the body to place of 1 safety, and after the medical examiner had ! viewed the remains they were removed to the | house of the Starks family. As near as can ! be learned the girl left MT. Starks' house | shortly after 6 o'clock Thursday morning and | walked to the dock at the mouth of the
 the river, which is nearly mile from the
 house, and in her despair threw herself over board The swift current carried her body ! down stream to cast it upon the opposite | bank, where it was left by the receding tide. Every effort will be made to find her be- I travar

 The Masonic World for January says: ''Since the regular admission of the Sovereign sanctuary for the United States into the cons federation of rites of the world, so that we are recognized by every regular Sovereign sanctuary of the Egyptian rites on the face of the globe, greater interest has been man. ifested on all sides and it seems quite likely that in-the near future our beloved rite will be known throughout the world nos only as the greatest and best, but also as the most popular of high grade Masonry"
 It is estimated that the number of Masons in the following countries is as follows:

of the Masonic Mutual BeneHt AssociatIOn-Never in a Better Con- dit1On Than at Present According to The secretary's Report.
 The fourteenth annual meeting of the Ma sonic Mutual Benefit association WAS held in the Atheneum last night. President Eli S. Quintard presided. He spoke of the pros perity of the association and the good work it was doing.
 The report of the secretary, Fred Fl. Wal dron, showed that at no time eince the or ganization of the society has it been in 8 better condition than at present. One of the causes of this was the change of the assess ments to the graded plan, and that by it there is better guarantee for the perma- nency of the association than ever before. "The loss of four hundred members which was predicted on the first assessment after the graded assessment went into effect dwin- dled down to so small number that there were less than had been reported at the close of some previous assessments. Let us look at some of the results. There have been but twenty-four assessments laid during the en- tire year, as against thirty for 1886 and thirty one for 1885. There has been $22, ,000 paid without assessment from the surplus and contingent funds and from the surplus from dues, as against $6,000 during 1886, SIS, 900 during 1885 and $iO, ,O0O during 1884" A gain of $5, 900 is reported to the contingent fund.
 s'The number of new members accepted during the past year is very largely in excess of the preceding year, and were it not for an unfortunate Masonic disturbance in our midst (which it is not proper in report of this kind to discuss and for which this a sso- citation is in no way responsible) we would undoubtedly have shown gain in member ship instead of 8 small loss
 "Ths directors have ordered to be laid aside SC, 900 of the funds of the association to cover claims for which no proof has as yet been furnished. The parties are supposed to be dead, but no proof of their death can be furnished"
 Those members whose names have been on the rolls of the association since its organiza- ton and who have paid every assessment have paid for their benefit $270, which is a fraction over 1 per cent. per annum.
 The total membership of the association is now 2,565. The average annual cost (run- ming expenses) per member for each 1000 has been .4415; total number of deaths since organization 306; total amount of paid bene- fits since organization $663, TOT; total amount of paid benefits without assessment $103, ,000; number of persons benefited by this amount 928.
 During the year 136 new members have been adzed and 39 have died The associa- tion has lost 132 members for on-payment of assessments, 15 of whom were restored. The total membership, as already given, is 19 less than at the last annual meeting.
 The report of the finance committee shows that $71 ,000 has been paid during the year for death claims.
 The treasurer's report was submitted by Jehn P. Futile. It showed that there is SIC, ,212.27 in the treasury and property be- longing to the association amounting to 1885, 2SO.31.
