Brother Albert Walker, of Harmony Lodge
No. II, is convalescing from a serious illness.
He is very desirous to his many Masonic
friends, and all who call are heartily welcomed
at his residence, 716 Twenty-second street. He
has been member of the order for over forty
two years.
A special communication convocation, and
conclave of Benjamin B. French Lodge No. Is,
Washington Chapter No. 2, Columbia Com
mandery No. 2, and Mithras Lodge of Perfec
ticn, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, were
funeral of Brother George ID. Kenner, 18th de-
gree. The Knight Templar service was con-
Quoted at the residence of the deceased and the
Blue Lodge services at the grave.
Bro Samuel Hermann, 32d degree who is so
well known to all members of the A. A. s. R.,
has created very favorable impression in the
mind of one of the Philadelphia firms of armor-
ers who are furnishing the uniforms for the 32d
degree members of the Rite. Upon the receipt
of the order for Bro Hermann's accoutrements
the Philadelphian was struck with the belt
measure, which is in the neighborhood of
fifty inches, and in acknowledging the receipt
of the order called attention to the fact that the
brother was undoubtedly very good liver and
requested that he might be invited to dine with
him when in the city. The genial possessor of
the Falstaffian FORM in true knightly spirit, has
extended the desired invitation to the Phila-
delphian.
The appointment of l.. G. Wood to the vacant
trusteeship of the public schools occasioned by
the resignation of Mr.. John w. Ross has brought
many congratulations to the former from his
warm Masonic friends. 1t would be difficult
anywhere in the jurisdiction to find more pop
ular brother. His name is synonymous with
success, his executive ability of high order,
and his energy and faithfulness in the perform
ance of duty without parallel. He Will un-
doubtedly become very popular with his fellow
trustees. In the Masonic fraternity Brother
Wood has attained marked distinction. He is
the Junior Warden of La Fayette Lodge No. 19,
Excellent King of La Fayette Royal Arch Chap
ter No 5, member of Washington Comman-
derry No /, Knights Templar, and of Washing
ton Council No. l, Royal and Select Masters,
and Director of Almas Temple, Ancient Arabic
Order Mobiles of the Mystic shrine. In the Scot
tish Rite his rank is that of the thirtysecond de-
gree, he being member of Mithras Lodge of
Perfection, Junior Warden of Evangelist Chap
ter of Rose CroiX, and member of Robert de
Bruce Council of Kadosh and Albert Pike Con-
sistory.
