THE SECRET SOCIETIES
MASONRY.


On Thursday evening, wheeling
Lodge No. 5, held regular meeting Win
a large number of Jealous craftsmen
present, who came together 10 assist
Worshipiul Master Spyer in conierring
the Fellow Craft and Master Mason oe-
grees on one candidate each, the WORK
being well and impressive'y done In It's
every detail, and the present omcers
certainly reflect credit on the brethren
of the lodge who selected them 10 RUE
govern it. and to take part In the nooie
work. The prospects for work In the
future are splendid. as many more good
eshiers are being quarried.
On Thursday evening, Wneeline
and Cyrene Communicates OF this
city, met at the asylum, and az
$40 marched from there to Iehtn
street, preceded by the Linsly drum
corps. where they took the eiectric
motors TO Benwood, crossed the ferry 10
Bellaire, where the were met by hope
Commandery, and joined with tnem IN
q short parade through the principal
streets of the town, and to the fresoy-
terrain Church, where the services APP
propriate 10 ascension were rendered,
and an excellent discourse was preacheu
by Rev. K. Rush Swope, rector OF 81
Matthew's Church OF Wheeling Ia mem
Der of Wheeling Commandery NO. ~
and which we trust may be OF great
benefit and for the welfare OF every or
knight who was present on the occasion.
The musical part OF the service was
very fine indeed, and well rendered, ana
although in days gone by we have heara
moro elaborate compositions rendereo,
but on this occasion, for simplicity ana
excellence OF rendition, 1t just suited
our minds as an ideal service, as When
the Sir Knights can be permitted 10
take part in nearly all OF the song ser
vice, as well as the responses attached
to the same. The music was rendered
by large choir, and sang in time spien-
didly together, and we felt IKE enchor-
ing them at the close OF each one OF the
numbers they sang. After the service
was concluded, all were invited TO par
take OF an exquisite banquet, served In
the rooms al the rear of the lodge, and
which are used for that purpose.
The meetings for the week are, Ohio
Lodge on Monday evening, and work
will be had in the first and second de-
grees. Tuesday evening is the regular
meeting OF Bates Lodge No. 80, and
with the many candidates they have on
the way, work will be expected in more
than one degree at that time. On
Thursday evening occurs the regular
communication Of Nelson Lodge NO.
80, and as many candidates are waiting
in various stages to receive degrees,
some fine work will be had at that
meeting.
All the resident members OF Wheel
ing Commandery No. l, have been re-
quested by special notice to make state
ment by return postal card whether
they are going TO attend the pilgrimage
to Pittsburg on the ED OF this month,
and also il they will attend a drill at the
North Wheeling Rink on next Friday
evening at 1880, to make grand sue
cess Of the contemplated trip TO Pitts
burg, and 10 provide comfort and enter
tainment for all who go with the Com
mandery as members and featers. The
former suggestion is but what should be
expected OF them for definite answer.
As TO the drill, all who go should take
pride IN going to Pittsburg and make as
good an appearance on her street as
Knights OF the Mali City" can do. We
know the featers OF the Smoky
City will entertain all Sir
Knights who go there with No.
most royalty, as all goodly sons always
do when their father goes to them on
parental visit. We Knights of Wheel
ing Commandery No. consider 1t an
honor (as It's history shows TO be 80
closely connected with the knights OF
the keystone State, for in the year 1s45
and seven years after its organization,
there came from Pttsburg and were
knighted by it Companions Samuel Nc
Kinlev, J. S. Hoen, Charles Ricketson,
and VIM. W. Wilson. They became the
nucleus to make up tho number Of
Knights for the Charter OF Pittsburg
Commandery No. l, and they are the
progenitors Of knight Templarism In
Pennsylvania and both Communicates
hold the good record OF having
been regularly at its labors
ever since their organization.
1t is hoped every knight in Wheeling
will endeavor to go, and accept the hos
FATALITIES offered them on this occasion,
and we will guarantee they shall never
regret it, nor any OF the Master Masons
or lady friends who may accompany
them.
