TIE SECRET SOCIETIES
mAsONHY.


On last Monday evening Ohio Lodge
No. held regular meeting, with an IN
usually large attendance OF Jealous
workers present, who had come there
to assist In the work OF the Fellow Craft
and Master Degrees, but as the Ashlers
were not on hand for the master to i'm
press them with the tools of his profess
sion at a sessonable hour, the work
was deferred until the next stated
communication.
On Tuesday evening the officers OF
Wheeling Commandery No. held an
informal rehearsal for work and in
struction in the several orders, and we
believe much good was accomplished at
that gathering, but would have proved
more so If there had been represented
by full corps OF officers.
On Wednesday evening the class for
the benefit Of the Blue Lodges under
the instruction Of Grand Lecturer Nc
Cahon, met as usual, but there were not
so large a number present as formerly,
and caused the work to lag somewhat
10 the exempl!fication OF the Master
Mason's degree, bnt those who were
present expressed themselves with hav-
ing received more real knowledge OF
that degree at that time than at any or
its workings in the past.
During the week the following bodies
will meet, and work may be looked for
ward to with pleasure in each one OF
them.
On Monday evening, Wheeling Union
Chap and number OF aSpirantS with a
view Of their work, looking forward to
be elevated to the top Of the arch.
On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge,
80. who has many candidates In
different stages of preparation to be
Masters, and who will doubtless be
there.
On Wednesday evening Grand Lee
turer McCahou's Blue Lodge Class for
instruction and examplification in the
Master Masons degree. He expects
every officer Of the four lodges to be
present al that time. and hopes the
lodge soon will be filed with Master
Masons OF the lodges also, as he desires
to have the work of that evening in
structive TO all, so the work OF that
Sublime degree may be worked il the
future with more benefit to the bre-
thren, and of more impresSiveness on
the minds OF candidates. On the at
tendance at this meeting will depend a
future continuation Of the class in
struction, as he is DESTROYS OF complet-
ing the course before the hot weather
sets in.
On Thursday evening Nelson Lodge
No. 30 will meet as usual, and we be-
speak for them large attendance, as
they have quite number Of Ashlers in
various state of preparation, and a
number of them are expected there TO
receive the impress Of the Masters
tools.
Oslre's Temple Mystic Shrine have
meeting on Friday evening, and the
Arabs will be there in round numbers
at that time. They will no doubt make
ample arrangements for jaunt for
some wealthy travellers who are about
TO cross the sandy plain, and who will
enjoy the ride on the camel, II not
oyertaken by the whirlwinds OF that
country, which cause the sand to strike
so hard as to sand paper their pates, as
we'll as to close up their peppers, but
we wish them success on their journey.
Something whispered to us OF anoth-
er large party Of travellers gathering at
Martinsburg, during the Grand Con-
claYe OF X. r., next month. We hope
It will prove true, for we are gratified
to know that the MartinSburgerS have
walked up from their lethergy, for they
were sleeping away the best part Of
their lives by not resolving to take that
Journey sooner.
Cyrene Commandery No. z met on
Friday evening in regular conclave, and
after the routine business, the fact Of
not having any aspirants on hand did
not hinder the officers and corps Of
Jealous workers from the application
OF all the orders Of KniEhthood, which
was we'll aud thoroughly done. under
the direction Of Sir Frank II. Warden,
Eminent Commander. As practice
makes perfect" the Sir Knights will
see the benefit of the application at
their next conclave on candidates.
