There are few Masons who have not a pro-
found reverence for every relic and incident
connected with the early history Of the
fraternity in this country. And inasmuch
as the origin OF the craft in America is in
volved in doubt and obScurlty every scrap Of
history connected with it is doubly interest
ing. Pennsylvania has long claimed that tho
first permanent lodge Of the fraternity was
instituted in Philadelphia about 1880. The
claim has been disputed by several historians
and antiquarians of the craft, but the Key
stone state maintains its position against all
omers and still leads the van in the argu-
ment.
Someone has been digging up some old
Masonic newspaper notices which tend to
throw some light on the subject, and which
go far to establish the claim made by the
Pennsylvania Jurisdiction
The Pennsylvania Gazette of December 8,
1870, contains the earliest printed notice of
Free and Accepted Masons in America. In
November, 1904, Henry Bell, at that time re-
siding in Lancaster, Pa, wrote to DR..
Thomas Cadwallader, of PHILADELPHIA, as
follows:
"As you well know, | was one of the orig
inators of the first Masonic lodge IN Phila-
delphin. a party of US used to meet at tho
~ NbNCiu III NfdltE JlC anu OpCuCu q
lodge there. Once in the fall of 1870 we
formed a design of obtaining a charter for 4
regular lodge, and made application to the
grand lodge of England for one, but before
receiving it we heard that Daniel Coke of
New Jersey had been appointed by that
grand lodge as provincial grand master of
New York, New Jersey aud Pennsylvania.
We therefore made application to him and
our request was granted"
When Benjamin Franklin succeeded Hum
phrey Murray, in 1888, as worshipful master
he was the editor and printer of the Penn
sylvania Gazette, and the following announce
ment appeared in the columns of his own
newspaper: #
"PHuADELPnGA, Pa, une q, 113t-Monday
last n grand lodge of the ancient and honor
able society of Free and Accepted Musons
was held at the Tun tavern on Water street,
when Benjamin Franklin, being elected
grand master for the year ensuing. appointed
John Capp TO be his deputy. and James Ham
ilton, esq, and Thomas Hopkinson Gent
were chosen wardens. After which a very
elegant entertainment was provided and the
proprietor (1homas PENN. the governor, and
several other persons. of distinction honored
the society with their presence"
This paragraph was reprinted In several of
the London papers at that time.
This evidence, while meager and unsatis-
factory, Is nevertheless interesting as show
ing that Masonry had obtained a foothold in
the new world as early as 1870.

Hatley is probably as fair and honorable as
any that has ever emenated from one expert

Indeed, there Is not a word or line in Hat

in wisdom, probity, integrity and justice that
it Is unfortunate that Maggioli has not a
Foley for an adviser.
The strangest part Of Maggioli's refusal to
play Hatley Is that Maggloit has asserted that
he is able to defeat Hatlcy. He is willing to
meet him in n sort of bunco contest, but when
Hatley demands the terms TO be such as hon

The defeat of Jack Davis, Omaha's cham

lie Mars Fine Record.

LIE Mars, Ia, Sept. 26.-To the Sporting
Editor OF The BEE: Last Friday was the
close OF a very successful ball season in LIE
Mars. The city has always had some very
good local talent which only needed practice
to make a very strong team, aud last spring
it was decided to fit up grounds and organ
ize a stock company with sufficient stock
subscriptions to warrant the organization OF
a team of such talent as could cope with any
and all amateur clubs in this and adjoining
states. The company was formed with a
subscribed capital of $500 on which there
has been but one assessment of 20 per cent
made. Grounds were leased and fenced and
a large amphitheater was built and fitted up
in the best OF style. The games have been
well patronized by all, the ladies of the city
particularly taking much interest in the
game and have attended in large numbers.
Tne team has closed the season with n
record that challenges comparison with any
club of its class in the United States. The
season was opened May - with a picked
nine from Sioux City and closed September
Is with the New Hampton club. Out of
twenty-six games played with clubs OF its
class it has lost but one, ana that to New
Hampton, and has never met with Il shut
out, even whom playing with Western asso-
citation clubs. The season has also been a
success financially, and LeMars next year
will have a strong team.

favored it. He went in the fight with
this sentiment as a watchword, and was

During the campaign if Jones wanted
to communicate with a mar fifty miles
away he would send a man with verbal

An astonishing result wa reached by
DR.. Richardson. the English expert
Psychologist, n'soIne experiments on
the respiration of animals confined in
pure oxygen. In most cases a steady
flow Of fresh oxygen rendered the ami
mails confined in it excited and feverish,
and o were quieted or made sleepy.
When, however, the oxygen. after hav-
ing been passed once through the cham
bers containing the animals, was col
lected, purified and again used. all the
warm blooded animals, such as dogs,
cats, guinea pigs. rabbits, etc, became
drowsy and fell quietly asleep; and,
when the gas was again used after an
other publication, the sleep became
deeper and soIne of the animals soon
died.
The oxygen appeared chemically
pure at each time of using, and the
cause Of its remarkable change in ef-
feet is as yet a mystery. Whether some
peculiar modification of oxygen takes
place during respiration. or whether
the toxic properties are due to some ac-
tive product Of respiration which has
escaped detection in the inhaled a is
a problem which viii doubtless be
