MASONRY.

A good representation Of the Sir
Knights OF Wheeling COmmandery No.
! were present at the special meeting
held on last Monday evening, and the
true spirit Of progress and advancement
OF the Sir Knights was shown when they
made arrangements TO procure new
outfit for tho cOmmandery whereby the
work In the orders could be more per-
fectly worked and more thoroughly eX-
emplified. We expect TO see the work
AT the next regular cOnclave done with
the new outfit, which will make il more
knightly In it's aspect and impressive
ness. not only 10 the Knights OF the
commandery, but also TO those who re-
ceive the orders. With the parapher-
MALTA which has been ordered No. l can
boast OF an outfit which will not be
eQualled by many other similar bodies
In our country.
The class of instruction in Blue Lodge
work. which met on Wednesday even
ing, was very interesting to the many
brethren who were in attendance, and
il was 4 source OF instruction and OF
real benefit, and we are glad TO see the
interest the brethren OF all lodges of
the city are manifesting in this special
work, which is being done under the
auspices OF Nelson Lodge No. 30, and
under the instruction OF Past Master
McCahon, and any brother who wants
TO be proficient in our work can be, II
he will only attend the meeting and APP
ply his mind in studying the work eX-
empliiied at the weekly meetings FOR In
struction.
On Thursday evening Wheeling Lodge
No. met, and the great number OF
Jealous workers and visiting brethren
taxed the capacity OF the lodge room,
and the visitors from abroad represent
ed many Of the Lodge of our Sister
State Pennsylvania, and who are at pre-
sent residents OF Washington, Pa, and
Of the adjoining towns, or at present So
jOurnerS, being connected with the Oil
and Gas interests in that section OF the
country, and they all expressed them
selves amply repaid for their pilgrimage
TO Wheeling. by having the opportunity
of viewing the excellent work done and
the royal reception rendered by the
brethren Of Wheeling, and received by
them.
Senior Warden ManSberger presided
in the East, and in the work was assist
ed by Bros. McCahon. Worshipful Mas
ter. assisted by good working team
composed OF the brethren Of the city
lodges. Two candidates were found in
waiting, End were crafty fellows, but
in due time were impressed with the
true purpose, and are now masters.
The work as done on that evening was
finely rendered in its every part, and
show what Bro. McCahon's school of
instruction, held on Wednesday even
ings, Is accomplishing. After the lodge
closed all present repaired TO Bro. Van
keurens hotel, where a tempting ban
Quet had been spread and which proved
4 haypy feast, which the Worshipful

awake dare'her prepared to defend him
self in his speech, What NJ. Sinner

Much interest is manufactured By the
Templars and friends in the Denver
trip next August and an excellent pro-
gramme Of it for Wheeling No. was
published in the DAILY REGISTER of
the 4th inst. As Blue Lodge brethren
have been invited to take in the trip,
we would expect the three cars will be
taxed TO their capacity, but we expect
to ride II no other way with our oriental
guide on the cancels hump of Pixies
