become that at the last meeting of the

appointed to formulate some plan whereby
the present difficulty might be overcome
This committee, consisting Of George
Cumming. Marsden Manson, George E.
Dow. Oscar Lewis and A. w. Scott, isnow
cons idering the advisabiity OF erecting
building on the Hayes-street side of the
Mechanics Pavilion on the site now oc-
cupied by several frame structures. THE
strip of ground is IS feet by 412. extending
along Hayes street from Polk 10 Larkin.
On this strip of ground the committee pro-
pose to erect four or five story building,
the top floors to be designed for the recep-
ton of the library and for necessary Of
fees and lecture halls. The ground floor is
to be cut up int stores and the floors bove

Whatever plan may be adopted for
building on the Hayes-street property. it
will in no way encroach upon the present
Pavilion building. That will be left as it
is, it being no part of our intention to
touch what we consider one of the most
useful structures in the city. We have
plenty Of room on the Hayes-street side.
and it is there that we are planning to put

UNITED WORKMEN.
The True Meaning of Some Recent
LEGISLATION.

Legislation.
To the Editor of The Morning Call
SIR: Under the title "A Radical Ruling"
an article appears in the Chronicle of to-
day which Is misleading in regard to the
Ancient Order of United Workmen. 1t
says ''that at the recent session law was
adopted which provides that after October
i no person shall be admitted into said
order who is engaged in the retail of In
toxicating liquors as beverage" when, in
fact. such has been the law for . number
OF years. The supreme lodge constitution,
paragraph "A. governs the qualifications Of
applicants for membership. and the Sec
ton, among other things, provides that
no person shall be admitted to membership
in the order who is engaged in the sale. by
retail. OF intoxicating liquors as bever
age"
This has been the law for some time.
and therefore the statement that it was
adopted at the recent session in Toronto is
incorrect.
What was adopted was an amendment
to what is known as general law ~, which
relates to "otfenses against the order"
This amendment is to be known as section
5 of said law, and reads: ANY member OF
the order who shall, after August l, $685.
enter into the bus ness OF selling by retail
Intoxicating liquors as beverage shall be
expelled from the order"
The meaning of which simply is: That
as a certain class of applicants are by the
law barred from membership. those in
in the business and desiring to join the
order could not for the time being give up
said business; answer the question truth
fully that at the time of their applications
they were not in said business, and then
afterward resume their former occupation.
A so, that as a certain class are considered
hazardous risks and are debarred, said
class cannot obtain mem bership and after
ward enter into the business which, had
been been engaged in at the time of appli-
ca ton, would have nullified their appllca-
tions.
But said legislation does not and cannot
in any manner affect any person who was
In membership In the order on August !,
1893, although he may be engaged in the
sale by retail OF liquors, etc., any more
than the legislation which provides that
aft.r October /, 1893, no person shall be
admitted above the age Of IS years would
affect those who have been and will be
admitted prior to said date, above the age
Of 45 years.
1t is also stated that In New York the
legislation referred to has been held to be
retroactive and an order issued, ETC.. to
dealers now in the business to give 1t up
or leave the order. No such information
has reached us here. Such action could
only be positively taken by a grand lodge
while in session. and the Grand Lodge of
New York does not meet until next March.

His thin, dark hair is turning gray;
Doep burrows of the unseen pillow
Are on his forehead. Who can stay
The clock of time and make it slow
And lengtEen out his holiday?
His ears are dull, his eyes are dim,
He bends beneath load of years.
With feeble step and faltering limb,
He gropes along vale of tears,
And soon the bell will ring tor him
A summons from the heavenly spheres
He is a good, old, faithful man.
Worn with hard study, toll and care;
His head was ever sound to plan,
His heart another's grief could share.
each one should do the best he cam

The old schoolhouse is etanding now,
O'ergrown with moss, upon the green,
And the inhosp table bough
That furnished rods, looks bare and mean
1t shivers in the winds that blow,
And whispers of things that have been.
A fountain sparkIes from the hill,
Adown the rocks the waters race,
And fancy deems the trickling rill
A tear stream on Dame Natures face;
For school is out and some are still,
And this is t deserted place.

How many teachers we have had;
Prosperity and scathing Debt
Masters that made us poor aud sad;
Affection, that made faces wet,
And Hope and Joy, that made us glad.

A MONSTER OAK.
A TuoIumne Giant that Would Keep a
Family stove Going Many Years.

From the Visaiia (Cal.) Times.l
S. w. Duckwall, of Exeter, lately re-
ceived a letter from his brother, D. D.
Duckwall, of Tuolumne county, in
which the latter gives a few figures
concerning the big Tuolumne live
oak tree. This famous old oak has
appeared in print number of times,
but a successful rival of it has yet to
be found in this country. The tree at
the base measures 81 feet in circum
ference. At the height of nine feet
from the ground it's circumference
reaches 81 feet. This increase of
about three feet is due to the bullying
of the main branches of the tree, the
four leaving the trunk at about the
same height from the ground and
pointing toward the four cardinal
points of the compass. Three OF
these branches measure ten feet
around at the base; the other meas
ures twelve feet. Now for the length
of these four great braLches: The
north branch is sixty feet long, the
west branch is fifty-four feet, the east
branch is forty-six feet and hesouth
branch is forty-four feet This i'm
mense tree, therefore, covers a space
of ground with diameter of about
LA feet north and south and about
10 feet east and west.
