Senator Hoar is said to have tired
Of politics, and to have announced
that he wi l probably withdraw at
the end of his present term. The
force bill, he says, is what has
brought this determination. He
feels his defeat very keenly, and con-
siders political life no longer worth
living.

If there is truth in the state
ment that leading Republican
Senators have given personal
and formal assurances to their
Democratic colleagues that there
will be no further effort this ses-
sion to revive the force bill or the
"closure" resolution, there is no
reason why Democratic members
in both houses should not cor
daily unite with the Republicans
in dispatching the public bust
ness, heretofore delayed by the
pendency of these measures.

Weird Masonic Ceremonies Over the Remains OF Gen.
Pic.

Pike.
Probably the most impressive and weird
ritual for the dead is that performed by the
Scottish Rite Masons. Such ceremonies were
held over the remains Of Gen. Albert Pike on
last Thursday night I'm tho First Congrega-
tloRal Church at Washington. ID. G. Masons
occupied the entire floor Of the auditorium,
and the public could only get into the gale
ries. On temporary platform were the princi-
pal pariicipatOFs in the services Of the knights
Kadosh.
The hour was midnight. The walls Of the
church were draped in black. On the catafalque
was the casket containing the body Of the dead
Chieftain. Nine tall, lighted candles stood in
the triangles on the east, west, aud south Of
tho casket The rest of the church was dark.
ON the upper end Of the casket was a chaplct
Of white roses, and below IL the insignia Of the
Order and the sword of the deceased Knight
in its scabbard. Upon tablet near the coffin
was a skull wreathed with eyergreens, sur
rounded by seven large candesticks bear
ing no lights. At the head of the casket
stood a great iron cross painted black.
The organ played softly as Grand Master Holt,
bearing lighted candle aud an iron hammer,
entered slowly in from an inner room, and
stood al the foot of the casSet. Twenty-One
Knights followed like shadows, hearing can
dies aud attired in black with scarfs Of Grape and
bare heads, and ranged themselves in a semi
circle on TIE west n0ftn ana soutn SIDES OF the
caskct, facing the east. The paintive notes of
a trumpet sounded. Then all was still. The
Grand Master pronounced "A beautiful and elo-
quent ritualstic address, lasting several min
utes. The remainder Of the services consisted
of questions and responses, which teemed with
dramatic features and was punctuated with
blows Of the iron hammer upon the black
cross.
The body OF the dead was exposed. Each
OF the 81 knights passing by touched reyer-
entity various portions Of the corpse, invoking
blessing, and in a solemn procession they
filed out as a grand chorus of male voices
pealed forth The bcnediction was pronounced,
and blaze of light throughout the church
ended the ceremonies.
