Washington Centennial Lodge No. IA issued
very handsome invitations to their communi-
cation of Wednesday evening, the first held in
the newly furnished and decorated lodge-room
No. of the Masonic Temple, which since it's
complete renovation may justly lay claim to
being one of the most attractive Masonic halls
of the city.
The news of the sudden demise of Dr. j. o.
Stanton was received very sadly among his
many friends in the Masonic order in which
at one time he was very active. In accord
ance with his expressed wish, no Masonic
services were held at his funeral, the order at
the request of the family being represented by
A. H. Holt and G. d. Bartlett, who were
active ball-bearers.
'!Faust Beer" is guaranteed to be straight
lager and six months old.
The banquet which followed the cor NUM-
cation of Washington Centennial Lodge No.
IA, Wednesday evening, was one of the most
elaborate which has ever been served in the
lodge banquet-hall of the temple. The floral
decorations were lavish and magnificent,
special pride having been taken by Bro. j. III.
Small, the Master of the lodge to enhance
the enjoyment of the occasion with beauti-
full and artistically arranged display of the
choicest exotics. The attendance was very
large, numbering many of the most promi-
nent Masons Of the city.
Harmony Lodge No. II will confer the Sd
degree Thursday evening, at which communi-
cation many prominent Masons are expected
to be present. Since the last communication
Past Master j. w. d. Gray, the first Master of
the lodge was buried at Tom Brook, near
Winchester. Bro. Gray died suddenly in this
city Tuesday, April z, and the following Fri
day the remains were sent in charge of O. s..
Firmin, Past Master, to Winchester. Brother
Gray was well known in the city, especially
among the older members of the fraternity,
and his death is universally mouIned.
''Faust Beer' is pure.
1t is with extreme sadness that the members
of Harmony Lodge note the steadily failing
health of Bro. William A. Yates, the Secretary
of the lodge, who has filled that Office for
nearly twenty-one years. He was at one time
Grand Secretary of this jurisdiction and was
generally known in Masonic and business cir
cles throughout the city. Many earnest
wishes are heard on all sides for his recovery,
but the symptoms are so discouraging at this
time that no definite hope can be entertained
OF his future improvement. lie has left the
Providence Hospital, where he was undergo
ing course of treatment, and is now at his
home, 2O9 Twelfth street southwest.
''Faust Beer' is guaranteed to be straight
lager and six months old.
On Monday evening Potomac Lodge No 5
will dispense with all work in order to fittingly
celebrate the one hundred and second anniyer-

night to do honor to the founders of theil
ancient organization and listen to the eloquent
tributes paid by well-informed brethren to the
honorable history of this old Masonic body
1t is very pretty custom and accounts largely
for the good-fellowship which at all times pre-
walls among the membership. George j
ETitch the present Master, is extremely
courteous and kind to visitors, and welcomes
them with pleasant geniality which at once
makes them feel at home.
