HI MtHUIluths
Whereas, it has pleased God in His
infinite wisdom toremove from among
us our worthy brother, John S. Dug
ger, from the field OF his labor in our
lodge, and, as we believe, translate d
him to refreshment and rest in the
Grand Lodge above.
Brother John S. Digger died at his
home near Locust Springs, Greene
County, Tenn, July 10th, 1891.
Brother Digger was initiated into the
first degree of Masonry February 2,
1884 A. L., 1884 A. d. Passed to the
degree of Fellow Craft May 4th., 1884
A. L., 1888 A. D., and was raised to the
Sublime degree of Master Mason
July 9TH, 1888 A. L., 1888 A. d., since
which time he has ever been con-
sistent Mason. He was buried by his
brethren of this lodge at Salem on the
Goth day of July, 1891.
In commemoration of his virtues,
and as a mark of the high esteem in
which he was held by our brethern of
Nola Chucky Lodge, we pass the fol
lowing resolutions :
Resolved, That, though griel-stricken
and sad, we must all submit to the will
OF Him who presides over the universe,
and who has thus taken away our
brother whom we esteemed as a citi-
zen, respected as a man and loved as
a Mason,
"Resolved, That we deplore his loss
as a Mason, and extend to his bereaved
family our sympathy, with the assur-
ance that they will ever be loved by
us as we loved our brother, who has
gone from lis and from them.
"Resolved, That brother Digger was
a useful man, and one whose integrity
was mistaken in any adversely, and
whose devotion to the principles Of
Masonry was true and steadfast.
Resolved, that we wear the usual
badge Of mourning for thirty days and
that these resolutions be spread upor
the records of this Lodge, and copy
} of the same be sent to his family ant
to the Greenville, Knoxville and John
son City papers and they be requested
to publish the same.

But. Mr. President. do 1t rise to intict speech
upon you; simply rise TO present TO you a photo

first letter IN existence written by any humin being

Conde de Monterey, then Vlceroy OF Mexico II is
addressed to the court OF SPAIN and states that he
(Viscano had taken possession OF this country ior
his Majesty.
We now know that the opinion he expressed
about California at this early date was quite
rect for he says: 'The land is thlckly peoped by
Indians is very fertile, and Its climate and the
quality of its soil resembles CASTLE, aud any seed
sown there will give fruit"
The original of this letter I found In bunting
through the Archives lie los Indias at SevIlla SPAIN
the throne OF England, Louis Quatorze of France
was not born yet. and the Pilgrim Fathers has not
yet la ded on plymouth Rock.
Little did Sebastian Vscano dream that within
three centuries this far distant land would be
counted of the BEST If not the best portion OF
the domain OF a nation, the most enlightened, pro-
gressive and powerful on the face of the earth.
I'm connection with the history OF California it Is
curious fact that the early navigaors. Sir Francis
by the bay OF San Francisco without discovering It,
IL was left to an overland expedition, undertaken
in the year 1863 by the Franciscan Fathers from
San Diego, to discover the bay of San Francisco,
which they first supposed to be an inland lake. but
Golden Gate was not discovered until four years
later on December 4, l774, by another expedition
sent out from Monterey by Junipero Sierra, the
father OF al. the missions OF California.
Mr. Theodore Hittel, the historian, speaks OF this
event as follows: "Tney arrived on December 4th
at Point Lobos, where they supposed themselves
the nrst Christian visitors. They erected cross
upon the summit OF the hill, looking down upon tho
Jagged points OF the Seal Rocks the one side and
the deep precpices Of the entrance into the bay
on the other"
Mr.. President. we are glad they found the Golden
Gate for otherwise of us would be here to-day
we are also glad you will to-day behold it in all
its natural grandeur perfectly preserved as Juni-
peros soldiers saw IT, for no modern cannon OF e1-
tensIve earthworks have been permitted to mar It's
pristine beauty.
Mr.. President. we all thank you for having come
to beautiful land, aud permit me especially
to thank you for the honor of your visit to sutro
Heights.

President Harrison and party began the
task of sightseeing in San Francisco yes
terday and it is safe to say that they viii
carry with them for many a year remem-
brances of the day and its events. The Presi-
dent in particular seemed to display the
liveliest interest in all that ne saw aud the
probabilities are that he will go back to
Washington with an enlarged idea Of the
great city of San Francisco.
Whether reviewing the school-chldren,
examining the wonders oil.he park conserva-
tory viewing the seals or Inspecting the
troops at the Preside, he preserved the
same remarkable self-poise which seems to
characterize him at all times; but to those
who watched him closely it was apparent
that nothing escaped his observation. The
buildings along the line of drive, the faces
Of the throngs that crowded about him, the
wonders of the park, the well-kept grounds
Of the military reservation, evez the street
pavements, seemed to come in by turns for a
share of his attention. He spoke but little,
but his face was expressive of the impress
sions made upon him, and the city will at
least lose nothing from his visit.
The day was all thaIcould be hoped for
and spoke volumes for 1.-THE glorious
climate" a more enjoyable one in every
way could not, in fact, have been made to
order, and the entire party referred in en-
thusiashc terms to the contrast to the cold
and slush of the East at this season Of the
year.
The day was one of which San Francisco
could we'll be proud and was fitting begin
ming Of the series of attentions to be show
cred upon the Presidential party.

At the pleasant home of Adolph Sutro, over

were conducted 10 the espanade, where they
saw for the first time the Golden Gate and Tor

inc upon the lovely scene spread out before him.

photographer whose services had been secured
by Mr.. Sutro, and VINO turned his camera square
upon the President. The latter was little sur

cason ana presented bold front to the enemy.

was on the tip-toe of expectancy to see a
real, live President.
No effort had been made 10 arrange them
81 classes, and the greater portion Of them
were accompanied by their parents. These,
of course, helped to swell the vast gather
ing, and there were in addition many older
persons whom mere curiosity had attracted
to see the interesting spectacle. lac chill
dren, however, were in the majority, ana II
was plain to be seen that they were thor
oughly imbued with the idea tnat the snow

THE CHIDREN's DAY.
Their teachers. it is true, were in the
crowd, but the latter were utterly pOweriesS
TO act had there been need for their services.
Their scholars were widely scattered and
free from all restraint so far as school regu-
latons went. This they seemed to realize in
all its Importance, and the glanceS Of Ill
suppressed scOrn darted at some weekday
tyrant expressed better than words the free
dom which they felt.
When the Presidential carriage turned
slowly into Van Ness avenue aud rolled
slowly forward some one shouted, Here
they cOmei"
Immediately every eye was turned in
eager expectancy and cries of welcome"
Welled up from thousands OF youthful
tnrOats. 7 Twenty thousaud white Aauiker-
chiefs were waved aloft, the President arose
to his feet and bowed right and LETT, and
cheer after cheer rang out. From all sides,
despite the police restrictions, young and
old, in their eagerness to get nearer view
of Mr.. Harrison, crowded in on his carriage,
and al one time it looked as if he would be
hemmed in completely. The way was easily
cleared. however, and the party proceeded
slowly along the line.
The long flight Of steps leading up TO the
entrance Of St. Ignatfus College was crowd
ed TO suffocation. There were at least 1900
people who mad availed themselves of this
vantage point and in spite of their evident
discomfort they cheered as Justify as did
those who were not so badly hampered for
breathing room. The unfinished frame of
the new N ercantile Library Building, too,
was black with people, and from their airy
perches they shouted down welcome to the

In front of the Concordia Club was sta

the strains Of Hail to the Chief" agitated
the morning air. The President noted it
with a smile. and as he bowed his acknowl-
edgments. with hat in hand, they hailed
him with Marching Through Georgia."
From all sides flowers were showvred into
the carriage until he was almost buried from
sight beneath a wilderness of buds and bios

exclamation of admiration at the beauty OF the

the fragrance from the floral pieces the most
prominent representatives OF social circles In

Mrs. Harrison. The majority OF the guests were

A PLEASANT INCIDENT.

An incident occurred on the avenue, near
Washington street, which shows that the
President has tender nature and can feel
for the little ones. A bright little chap, not
more than years OF age, holding a Dunch
of wild flowers in his hand, started from the
sidewalk toward the carriage in which rode
the President, and when within few feet
of it caught sight OF a policeman. he
stopped suddenly, for he was evidently I'M
bued with the idea that the official in blue
would call TO him togo back to the sidewalk.
A look of disappointment was noticeable
on the face of the little one, who had no
doubt made up his mind that he would
hand his floral Offering simple as it was, to
the distinguished visitor, and for moment
his previously bright cOuntenance gave
signs of coming tears. just at that moment
President Harrison, who had caught sight
of him and took in the situation at glance,
leaned over the side of the baroucbe,
stretched out his right arm, beckoned to the
little fellow, who rushed forward as fast as
his little legs would permit and handed the
flowers to the one for whom they were in
tended. The recipient waived his hand in
acknowledgment and smiled upon the little
one, who, with pleasure depicted on his
features, returned to his waiting mother.
This act, witnessed by the many who were
on the sidewalk, was loudly applauded.
SMILING AND BOwING.
And so the President passed along the
line, smiling and bOwing as he went, until
Pacific street was reached, when his car
riage was turned about, and again he was
driven between the two dense lines of peo-
pie. Cheers and waving handkerchlefs
greeted him again, and as he turned up
Golden Gate avenue and was whirled away
toward tile park he was followed for blocks
by the eyes Of curious thousands. and the
noise of cheers was borne to his ears until
he passed out Of hearing
