as the time for its publication is fixed by law,
and the Office Of this printer being distant,

had given to twelve other regular annual state

why a Veteran Mason Cut Loose
from Them.

New York, August 20-William II.
Peckham, Past Grand Commander and
a Thirty-third Degree Mason, who for
forty years has been an active member
of the Masonic order, in a letter ad-
dressed to the Masonic fraternity
throughout the world, gives his reasons
for severing his connection with the
Scottish Rite Masonry and Corneau Con-
sistory 1872 of this city. His reasons for
so doing are because the Grand Orient of
France, founded in 1925. did in 1878
eliminate the name of God from the
constitution and ritual, thereby COM
pelling every symbolic Grand Lodge
throughout the world to denounce the
act and sever all relations Of amity and
correspondence Herewith.
"And yet" he says, "in spite of this
well-known fact, Brother F. ]. s. Cor
gas, the present Grand Commander of
the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite,
thirty-third and last degree of Free
Masonry, during visit to Paris in 1888,
did visit and meet with the Council OF
the Order, and appoint representative
thereto as guarantee Of amily on be-
half OF the body over which he pre-
Sides"
In conclusion, Mr.. Peckhani says the
members Of the Council of the Order are
members of and owe allegiance to the
Grand Orient, and consequently are
under the ban of nom Masonic inter-
course, and that no true symbolic Mason
can ignore the edict of his Grand Lodge,
which interdicts his doing 80.

CHICAGO, August 20-The wife of
Millionaire Mike Mcdonald, the noted
ex-gambler and politician, is missing
The circumstances are most extraordin-
ary. Mrs. Mcdonald disappeared from
her home, at the corner of Ashland
boulevard and Harrison street, week
ago last Friday, and, though a small
army of detectives have been re-
tanned to discover her where
abouts, they have succeeded only
in obtaining her diamonds, pawned
or sold somewhere in the East. 1t is
supposed that Mrs. Mcdonald is now in
Europe. 1t was being reported this
evening that she had for companion a
Catholic priest, who, it was alleged, has
been since unfrocked by the Church.
The priest is supposed to have had a
parish at South Chicago or some suburb
in that locality The story is that Mrs.
Mcdonald became acquainted with the
priest while he was On visit
| to the parish of which she is
member He became infatuated
| with her, the admiration was reciprocal,
and an elopement was planned and ex-
ecuted. On the momentous Friday
evening, Hugh Mullaney, McDonald's
coachman, took Mrs. Mcdonald from the
house in a carriage. He said nothing
about the matter for a week, though he
was aware of the search. Then he told
Mike Mcdonald, saying he had prom
ised Mrs. Mcdonald to keep the secret
| for a week. He refuses to talk.
| Mcdonald was found at late hour
tonight and acknowledged the truth ti
the story. Father J. Moyeant, of Notre
Dame church, a French Catholic congre-
cation, is the fugitive clergyman. He ia

IT WILL be a nice plum for somebody,
If the Ballona sewer bonds should carry
and be turned into cash, to have the
work enjoined, as it undoubtedly will be,
and carried by slow stages into the su'
preme Court of the United States. Two
years would be short time for the ques-
ton to reach final solution. In the
meantime the depository of the million
and quarter of dollars would have the
use of the money. Whilst the city would
be paying interest on the bonds, the
bank holding the cash would be re-
ceiving interest upon the money.
That is about the way 1t will
turn out if the people are foolish enough
to lend themselves to a scheme which
is replete with Objectionable features.
There are three distinct propositions in
the Ballona programme, each OF which
ought to have been submitted to separate
votes. But its promoters were too cum
ming for that. They said to the people,
"Take all or nothing" and are trying to
coerce them into voting for the bonds by
declaring If their scheme fails an honest
and beneficial one will not be submitted.
The public will be apt to be heard from
on that point.

THE BLYTHE CASE.
Testimony of Professional Wit
nesses Continued.

SAN Francisco, August 20.-George
s. Irish, of Elsinore, San Diego county,
continued his testimony in the Blythe
case today. He identified por-
trait of Florence Blythe and
said it was similar to one
shown him by Blythe, who said he in
tended bringing his daughter over from
England. In case Blythe's friend JET
fries could not 60 for her, witness was to
go, and also bring the girls grand.
parents.
Irish was withdrawn for time, to
allow M. M Estee to testify that Blythe
had told him that he had an illegitimate
child living in England, and he had
made arrangements for her care after
his death. Blythe at times seemed
anxious TO dispose of bis San Francisco
property and invest the proceeds in the
improvement of his Mexican estates.
On cross ss-examination Irish stated that
when he received the news Of
Blythe's death he stopped all
work on the canal that was to
irripate the )atter's Mexican lands and
came to San Francisco. At the request
of the Public Administrator Roche, he
returned to Blythe City, ami remained
there six months, then all work was
stopped.
VIM. II. Hart. attorney, testified that
after Blythe's dea'h witness, at the re-
quest of the Public Administrator, and
in company with attorneys Wright,
E.tee and Jeffries, placed seals on the safe
at Blythe's Office and also on the desk in
Blythe's room at 81 Geary street. Hart
said that on February %, 1888, Blythe
in his praspnce sipped adoption Da Dars
which he had written, and that
he also signed as a witness. Hart
also said Blythe told him on March
3, 1888, that he had made his will.
Neither the will nor the adoption papers
we're found. Before BY the's body was
removed from his rooms, witness, in com.
pany with others named, went to the
rooms. Alice Edith Blythe was present.
She said she was indisposed and hoped no
examination OF the papers would be made
that day. The party left, but on Satur-
day Roach, Estee and Wright returned.
They did not gain admittance, however.
