MASONRY.

On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge, No.
33. held their stated communication,
with a good attendance OF brethren
present. and who were Eell pleased with
the good work done at that time upon
two we'll qualified Fellows who had
served their regular term OF serv-
ice in preparing the perfect Ash
lers for the moral temple, and as q
reward for their labors were made Mas
tiers. and thereby fitted for the more
important duties Of being instructors
and overseers OF those who are yet on
the lower plane of Temple workers.
On Thursday evening Wheeling, No.
s. met in regular communication, but
only routine work was had. and 1t Is
thought that some Ashlers will soon be
brought from the quarries to be worked
upop. and which will enthuse the breth-
rem Of No. 5.
On Monday evening will occur the
annual meeting OF Ohio No. /, ana on
Thursday evening will occur similar
one OF Nelson Lodge No. 80, and there
ere prospects OF q very full attendance
at both of them.
On Friday evening last Cyrene Com
mandery held its monthly conclaye with
a good attendance OF Jealous warrior
Knights present. Two aspirants for
the orders were found in waiting, and
pom whom was conferred the X. I. and
Malta in an excellent manner. All the

When a regular reader of Life picked
up a new copy and failed to see one oil
McVickar's pictures he was distinctly
disappointed, for it was pleasure to
see the young men and young women he
depicted for the amusement OF those
who enjoyed a good-natured satire. lie
was the leader of new school which
has done a very great deal in making
our comic press refined in its wit ana
humor and true to life.
But art has never been Mr.. McVick-
ar's serious business in life. He has
pursued it only as diversion. Even
the rewards which come to most sue
cessful craftsman would be inadequate
for the wants Of man OF the social
tastes and prominence OF Mr.. McNickar.
He therefore spends most OF his time in
a more prosaic and profitable business
than in making pictures. Heis mem
Der of the real estate firm OF Van
Rensselaer,, Cruger d Co.
Mr.. Cruger is the husband or that
very beautiful and clever woman who
as a novelist under the name of Julien
Gordon has recently won fame for her
self. Both of the members OF this real
estate firm and their families belong to
that fashionable section of society
known as the Four Hundred. When
Mr.. McVickar'S social and business du-
ties encroached more on his time he
gave up his regular work on Life and
began furnishing drawings for the Har-
per publications, and for some time over
each one of the charming little essays

per's magazine, Mr.. McVickar fur
nished drawing with some appropri-
atenesS in the subject to the season IN
which the magazine was issued. These
pictures were delightful. His ladies'
were ladies and his gentlemen gentle
men.
Now Mr.. McVickar has come out in
another character. This time he is a
satirist of New York society. His fun
in the main is harmless, and it may be
therefore that he won't be accused of i'll
nature or malice. The new book Is
called ''Our Amateur Circus: or, New
York Season-the Greatest Show on
Earth-Soclety! Truthful, Moral, In

Vickar has placed q caricature of HIM

Tovnox. November 23-Sad news FOR
the Catholic world has just ieaAeu OUT
from the archepiscOpal palace OF henry
Edward Cardinal Manning az west
minister. To is TO the effect that the
nbvsicans of the aged prelate, who IS now
hast eirhtv-three years, have ordered
him 70 give up work, and that the Gar
dina Archbishop will, as u consequence
ask the Pope 70 appoint a cOadJutor 10
assist him in governing his great see
The news is significant. Cardinal
Manning is not the man to give up work
or 10 share his responsibilities Win an
other unless compelled by necessity 10
do so. If be has done so, and IL IS not
entirely certain that he has, u means
that Cardinal Manning feels assured
that his end is near.
Tp TO very recently the Cardinal has
been seen in London looking ABOUT as
usual. 4 short time ago he visited one
of the most SQualid spots In London
nursuing his work among the poor. lie
was clad in a simple clerical garo. his
figure. though thin and bent, still arose
far above those Of ordinary men whom
be met. Standing erect he would
measure nearly 8 feet inches In stat
ure. His hair was very scant and white
as snow. But it was the clean-cut face
of this old man that would attract at
tention. Over it the skin was drawn
like parchment. It was long, thin,
powerful, aesthetic face, with intellectu-
Rlitv i'm every line and wrinkle. In the
contour Of the jaw and chin there
were those marks Of decision and
strength Of character that stamp
the leader of men. Now and then
some passer-by would tender the aged
man a respectful salute, and he ID turn
would not fail 20 bow in graceful
courtesy. Again he would pause TO pat
some ragged, dirty-faced urchin on the
head and address TO the abashed young
ster some smiling remark.
Such was Henry Edward Cardinal
Manning, Archbishop Of Westminster,
head of the Roman Catholic Church in
England and the last Of the great Eng
lish Cardinals in the Roman Church.

The aged Cardinal, since Newman's
death, has stood alone and unique
among English ChUrchmen. He has
outlived all his followers. Cardinal
Newman, in some respects the greatest
of them, is dead. Pusey and the other
leaders I'm the Tractarian movement
that brought both Newman and Man
ming into the Roman Catholic Church
are dead long since. Cardinal Howard,
OF the great Catholic family OF the How
ards, still lives, but he has been at Rome
these many years and he has been in
such a condition OF mind that 10 has
been necessary to keep him under re-
straint.
There are great Catholic noblemen,
like tie Duke OF Norfolk and the Mar
Cuis OF Butte, who may wish the Cardi-
nalate to be kept mp, but Leo NH. has
not yet found a man big enough to FIJI
the vacancy caused by the death of
Newman, and TO appoint a successor to
Manning will not be less difficult when
the time comes.
This Is why the position OF Manning
IS so interesting just at this time. The
Cardinal knows the common people Of
London among whom he has worked, as
few men 90. His life has been spent
among them. His father was London
merchant in good circumstances and a
Member of Parliament, and the Cardi-
nal was educated at Harrow aud Oxford.
To see the great Cardinal az his best
one has 10 visit him at his workshop,

the white mitre Of Thomas A. Beckett.
Then in a piece Of crystal is fragment
OF the column against which our Lord
is said to have been seourged, and three
small pieces of wood labeled:
Behold the wood OF the cross on
which our Saviour was hung"
The Cardinals bedroom is on the top
OF the house, and is the plainest Of all.
A camp bed, a wardrobe, char and q
waShStand are the articles OF furniture.
Adjoining this is the Cardinals oratory,
in which is set up small altar at which
he says mass. There is another near by
for the use of visiting bishops.
