A correspondent of The New York Sun,
writing from Birmingham, Conn, says:

was made Master Mason in King Hiram
lodge, No IL, Derby, Conn, March &c, 1891;
was secretary of the lodge in 1892 and wor-
shipful master in 1927. Bro. Brakeman
was made a Royal Arch Mason in Solomon
chapter, No. g. Royal Arch Masons, Derby,
March 20, 1922, and at the election of officers
the following December was elected to the
Office of Royal Arch captain. Companion
Brakeman has probably been a Royal Arch
Mason longer than any other living man,
and il is doubtful if there is another past
master Of sixty-two years standing in the
country Companion Brakeman can efound
any business day at his desk in the Office of
the Shelton company, Birmingham, Conn, of
which firm he has been member many
years"

Cramps in the Muscles Cured.

John L Wood, of Stratford, Ont, was
cured of cramps in the legs by wearing All
cocks porous plasters. Mr.. Wood says:
''Some three months ago l was taken
very sick with severe pain in the small of
my back over the kidneys. The pain was
excruciating. l applied an AllcOck's por-
Gus plaster over the affected region and
had relief almost within an hour. At the
same time, in conjunction with the trouble,
had very great nervous disturbance, at
fecting my legs with cramps so l could
scarcely sleep. Meeting with such success
with my back, l applied plaster under the
knee on each leg, and in three days was
completely cured, and have never been
troubled in either way since.n

gentleman bought six pounds of sugar, and
found it sadly adulterated with sand. The
next day notice was posted reading thus;
''NoTICE-I bought six pounds of sugar of
a grocer in this village. From it have taken
one pound of sand. If the rascal will send

The next day five six pound packages of
sugar were left at the gentleman's residence,
there being just five grocers in the village

A WISE SUBSTITUTION.

To the Editor of THE HERALD
In reading Manager Whites announce
ment of the Bostonian English opera en-
gagement, l, as well as many other opera
lovers, regret to find that Salt Lake is not
to have the pleasure of hearing this com
pany in Won Suppe's 'Fatinita,'' an opera
we have never heard here. Besides, the
San Francisco press assert that Jessie
Bartlett-Davis, who is a great favorite in
this city, is the best Fatinitza ever heard
in that role. Cannot Manager White pre-
vail on the Bostonian management to make
this change in the repertoire and thereby
please large number of his patronsl Re

The above letter was at once referred to
Manager White. That gentleman sought
Mr.. viii j. Davis, the manager of the
Bostonians, and succeeded in getting him
to substitute "Fatinitza' for Dorothy
an opera which is not in good favor here.
This change will give no end of satisfaction
to the friends opera in Salt Lake, beside it
will signalize the re. entree of Jessie Bar t.

tanned the following editorial:
Perhaps the most important offices to
be filled by the new administration in
this territory are those of the judgeships
of four districts. Men who are in every
way qualified for position of such i'm
portance are, as general thing, very
scarce, but this district has two candi-
dates for the place either of whom would
doubtless be satisfactory to the people.
Judge John D. Bail, of Grant county,
who has at least consented to accept the
nomination, if rendered him, is one Of
the best known citizens of the territory,
having resided here since 1866 He is a
veteran of the Mexican war, and was one
of the bold band of Americans who
marched from Vera Cruz to the City of
Mexico. He afterward served through
the war of the rebellion, coming to New
Mexico soon after its close. In years gone
by he has been member of both branch
es of our legislature and for four years
was prosecuting attorney for this district.
On two different occasions during
Grants administration, he was recon-
mended by the Republican party of the
territory for judgeship, and also by rec
concentrations from leading men of all
parties, and at one time by memorial of
the legislative assembly and an indorse-
ment from the judges of the supreme
court. At that time, however, the policy
of the administration was to fill such po-
sition from non-residents of the territory,
and his recommendation had no weight
with the executive. He has been prac-
ticing attorney for over thirty years. His
fitness has never been called into question,
and if the offices are to be filled by home
people no appointment could be made
which would give such universal salts
faction as that of Judge Bail.
The New MEXICAN is heartily in favor
Of the appointment Of Hon. John D.
Bail to one of the vacancies
of the New Mexico bench. He has
received very strong and cordial indorse-
ments from leading citizens, lawyers and
Republicans OF this territory, urging his
appointment as one of the very best that
could possibly be made. He has legal
ability, learning, experience and the dis
cretion and even temper Of age. His
honesty and integrity have never been
questioned. He will be strongly support
ed by several influential members of the
Illinois delegation in the senate and in
the house OF representatives. His ap-
pointment will be fully approved all over
this territory and he is one Of the best
known citizens in it. The New MEXICAN
hopes to be able at an early date to con-
graduate Hon. John D. Bail upon his
appointment to the supreme bench of
New Mexico.

MONDAY MARCH, 4.
PRESIDENT HARRISON.

Benjamin Harrison, attorney at law,
was to-day transformed into Benjamin
Harrison, president of the United States.
He ia very serious and thoughtful man
and seems to be fully impressed with the
gravity and responsibilities Of the position
he has assumed to-day. President Har-
rison's history is too well known for repeti-
ton here. We are Of the opinion, judg-
ing from it and from his conduct since
his election, that the honors OF the
exalted office to which he has been chosen
will not sit lightly upon him. The work
before him will be work we'll and
thoroughly done, and the trust imposed
upon him will be successfully discharged.
President Harrison already has the con-
fidence Of the people to the fullest degree.
He is a man who will treat with the
most serious attention every object
brought before him and will discharge ev-
cry duty of the position to the best of his
ability, and that ability is great. He is q
very self reliant and firm man, and a
stand once taken by him will be kept up.
There is every reason to believe, and judy
ing from the past, that President Harris
on will make one Of the very best presi-
dents the union has ever had, that his
administration will be successful, that
the country will enjoy an era Of prospect
ty and tranquility during the coming four
years and that equality, fairness and just
ice will prevail.
