who are apportioned among the States of its
Jurisdiction Each State is entitled to one
honorary member, in addition to the number
standing to its credit, for every 100 14th
degree Masons made in the State. The
officers of the Supreme Council are
elected for a term of three years, not Gd vitdn,
as has been and is now the law in the Supreme
Council for the Southern Jurisdiction, and
the officers of the subordinate Lodges of Per-
fection are elected annually, while here they
are elected for three years. Past officers in
the Scottish Rite bodies are not entitled to
any honors as such, which is exactly the re-
verse of the laws of the Blue Lodges and
chapters, but there is no apparent reason
why their service in the chairs should not be
recognized; and this is one point that might
be suggested to the Supreme Council for its
consideration, at the meeting in 1892, which
| will be held in this city.

nected with ''calling off, the Masonic term
for recess, is the hearty greetings which are
interchanged by members of the several

was on hand early to welcome the officers in
his usual pleasant manner He was ably as
sisted by the efficient and good natured Secre-
tary, Companion j. ii. Pickell, who, as usual,
had pleasant word for everybody. The Ex-
cellent King, j. II. Wardle, delivered his
greetings in his usual business-like manner,
lacking nothing however, in cordiality, not
withstanding their breVty. The Excellent
Scribe, William Oscar Roome, was, as usual,
dignifed, but extremely agreeable. The
Captain of the Host, A. B. Coolidge, vel
coined the Companions with his most dis
tinguished and cultured manner, while Com
panlous Lustin r. CHM, d. Nj. Cridler, and
w. A. Mendenhall were indefatigable in theil
efforts to promote the pleasure of the even
ing. After the transaction of the business
