Rose Croix, Tuesday, 18th.
On Wednesday the Scottish Rite Cathedral
was again, for the eleventh time since the
first day of March, draped in mourning on ac-
count of the death of a member of the Rite.
At 9o'clock in the forenoon the remains of
Brother Edward johnson Whipple, 32d degree.
were brought to the Cathedral where they
were received by the Guard of Honor detailed
for that purpose, and placed in the centre of
problem of Euclid. Around each light was
mass of white lilies and palms. The chairs
of the officers were draped in black and the
palms and lilies so arranged about them as to
make them look like bowers. Heavy festoons
of black hung all around the balconies and
walls, and midway between the seat of the
Master and the casket was a triangular altar
upon which incense was burnt. All day long
guards in the uniform of the Masters OF the
Royal Secret, were stationed at the casket and
were not withdrawn until the Chapter of
Knights Rose Croix entered the Cathedral to
perform their funeral service. Precisely at
4:15 p. m. the Evangelist Chapter Of Rose
Croix was called to order in the chapter
chamber and formally opened, and performed
that part of their duty which was of private
nature and to which none were admitted who
had not attained the 18th degree. At the con-
clusion of this part, the detail to take part in
the public service, marched in full uniform
into the Cathedral, and halting at their sta
tions remained standing until the Master, who
entered last, passed through their lines and
reached his seat in the east. Then with q
single blow OF his gayel he seated all present
and the service commenced. The Potomac
Lodge, of Georgetown, were seated on the
south side of the room, and their Master was
by order of the Master of the Chapter, invited
to and accepted seat in the east on the right
the post of honor in Scottish Rite body, and
one that is seldom occupied by Master
Mason only. The music rendered as the SER
vice progressed was excellent. The choir WAS
present in force. Toward the close of the
service the Master deposited salt upon the
casket in accordance with the requirements of
the Ancient Mysteries, and finally scattered
cut roses all over it till they filed the top of
the casket and fell around on the floor, where
they lay in profusion. The officers who took
Roome, 33d degree, Worthy Master; Joseph
G. Taylor, 33d degree, Senior Warden;
Abner II. Longley, 33d degree, Junior War
den; Alex. FL. bolt, 32d degree, Master of
Ceremonies. The detail for guard duty con-
sisted of: First relief-Edward Willoughby
Anderson, SD degree; James Hays Trimble,
32d degree; Henry Hoffa. 32d degree; Charles
Statler Hyer, SD degree. Second relief-Ed-
ward Mott Willis, 32d degree, Samuel Hamil-
ton Walker, 32d degree; David Miller Cridler,
32d degrees Jacob Davis Harrington, 32d de-
gree.
At the conclusion of the Rose Croix service
the casket was formally turned over to Poto-
mac Lodge, by whom it was conveyed to the

of the Scottish Rite Guard OF Honor and Nal
