MASONIC MEETING.
Session of the Grand Lodge
 Begins Today.
The Most Important Convocation of MaSonS Ever Held In the
 Territory.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Arizona will go into session this morning and the session will include during it's con- tinuance meetings of the three great grades of Masonry, the blue lodge, the chapter and the commandery. The session will continue until Thursday. The blue lodge may be said to be in sesslon during the whole time and the grand chapter will probably convene this afternoon.
 The grand meeting of the commandery will take place tomorrow and its session is regarded as one of great importance by the Knights of Arizona. It is the second since it was severed from the California Commandery and was made a distinct body.
 The importance of this session Is ln- creased by the fact that the person of the grand master of the United States will have representation in Grand Com mander Orohood, of Denver, Col, is who expected to arrive today. A meeting of the local commandery was held last night to prepare for his reception and to arrange details of banquet which will be given in his honor tomorrow night.
 Several visiting masons are already in the city. Among those who came from the north yesterday are: Sir Knight R. N. Fredericks, of Prescott. who succeeds to the title of grand master of the Arizona commandery by reason of the death of the late Dayton A. Reed; F. G. Brett, of Prescott; J. Guthrie Savage, of Flagstaff; Morris Goldwater, of Prescott. grand lecturer Rev. E. W. Meeny, grand chaplain; A. G. Oliver, grand high priest; D. F, Mitchell, Nathan Levy and A. A. Johns, From the south came those veterans in Masonry, George J. Roskruge, of Tue, son, and A. L. Grow, of Tombstone. Among the Tucson Masons who are expected to arrive today are: c. P Wilson, H. D.

CATARRH.

Catarrh is usually applied to a peculiar dis order Of the nostrils and adj djacent parts, while in fact it may attack every organ in the body, containing muco us membrane, CataIrh may then be said to be disease of the mucous membranes of the body. The most prominent feature however is morbid discharge from the head, either by the nostrils or a droppi1g into the throat. At first there is almost constant flow of clear aerid fluid, but later on there is secreted an offensive, parulent, greenish or yelloWish matter. In others there is tough viscid and offensive phlegm, which collects be- hind and above the soft palate and which ad hers with glueish tenacity. f
 In some cast there is g thick viscid, slimy secretion which coats over the membrane Of the nasal cavities and then putrefes giving rise to @ stench sufficiently fetid to poison the at- mosphere of 8 whole room. In other cases all secretiOns are suspended causing an unpleasant feeling of dryness, heat and feverishness in the head and nose condition known as s'Dry Cat arrh." The disease speedily extends to the air cavities of the bones of the head and face and down past the nasal cavity into the throat, causing frequent attempts to clear the parts of phlegm producing the sound ''hem,'' more or less forcibly. In this manner the dithculty spreads from organ to organ invading the throat, larynX. trachea and bronchial tubes un- til it finally reaches the lungs
 Thus Catarrh becomes the starting point of consumption development, the disease being eventually transmitted to the lungs, both by nervous connection and continuity of surface
 So frequently has this fatal course been no ticed that all those who are thorough conver- sant with the subject now look upon atarrh as a premonition and one of the very earliest manifestations of consump mption. Every case of Catarrh is curable Dy our Sy stem of practice

A Great Fortune.

The huge fortune of the late Mr. Hugh McCalmont, which for seven years has been accommodating at com pound interest, will pass into the sole control of the heir, Mr. Harry Leslie Blundell McCalmont the we'll known owner of Isinglass. The amount is believed to be not much, if at all, less than four million pounds sterling, and the bulk of this enormous sum was accumulated by the testator while a member of the once prominent firm of McCalmont Brothers. Rumor has it that the amount to which Mr. Mccall mont will succeed exceeds that at the absolute disposal of any other single person in this country, and this is not improbable. Of course larger amounts are owned by some of the great city magnates, but probably in most cases their wealth is not entirely unfettered; it is either subject to heavy charges, or else is invested in business from which it could not be easily disen- gagged. The largest amount of person alty recorded in recent years was that of Baron de Stern, which amounted, we believe, to some seven million pounds sterling, acquired largely through Portuguese finance operations.

 At breakfast time the next morning 1 had to relate how I had unearthed the conspiracy.
 First of all" I said, "the fact that the burglary occurred shortly after you had brought the jewelry from London convinced me that the thief was some one in the house. And when I mad the wires relaid and found that the captain had fallen three feet away from them-a fact which l discovered from the impression made by his knees and the toes of his boots-I thought things were very suspicious against him. Upstairs I found that it was little trouble for him to slip into your wife's room and throw the casket down as soon as she left the room. 1 learned that he had been the last to appear at the dinner table, and the case was strengthened. At the rail way station I discovered that man answering to the description of his
 servant had arrived from London by the 5:30 o'clock train, and not by the | 9:15 o'clock, as it was made to appear What effect the telegram had you al ready know. In tracing the footsteps through the shrubbery 1 found that whoever had passed over the palings must have carried away some of the tar on his clothing. At dinner last night seized my only opportunity and examined the mans overcoat and pair of trousers. The tar was there, and he had evidently tried to remove it. That is all, think "-Tid-Bit

TOLD OF A DOG.

The Idler: The animal in question
belongs to a gilded youth who has
more money than he knows what to
do with, and consequently spends it
somewhat boyishly. He has a scent
bath every morning. and is very par
ticular as to where he dimes. He is
now growing fat and lazy, and, al
though fond of sneaklng out for a
morning stroll in Hyde Park, objects
to walking home again. His plan is
to watch for a hanson. if going in his
direction at walk, and slip into it
When any attempt is made to dislodge
MIN he simply displays two rows Of
magnificent teeth and wrinkles his
upper lip in a curiously suggestive
smile Most of the park-keepers know
him and give the cabmen his address.
Cabmen in the vicinity of the park
keep a lookout for him. When the dog
reaches home he remains in the cab
until the valet comes out to pay the
| fare. Then he descends in a Ieisrrely
manner and eats his lunch with appe-
tite. This dog is alleged to be first
cousin to another dog, which on one
occasion was not fed at his usual
luncheon hour Presently the animal
got up, walked slowly into the garden
and solemnly returned, holding a for
get-me-not in his mouth.

HORRORS OF DISEASE.

FAMILY

full Odds for the Lives of Loved
Ones

Milwaukee Nov. 6.-Mr. and Mrs.
Frederick kusch, who live near Mus
kegO lake, had ten children last
Wednesday,. Two died Thursday of
smallpox and one Saturday Several
others and the mother are now sick.
Kusch has been fighting the disease
single-handed from the start. His
nearest neighbor, William Bishop,
who lives half a mile away, tried to
help the afflicted family. He went to
Hales corners for a physician. The
doctor came on Friday, but did not en-
ter the house. He left medicines for
the sick and took an order for two
small collins for the children. Mean
time the father kept up day and night
nursing the sick wife and children
who yet live, not having time to bury
the dead babies. Their bodies are still
in the house. Kusch's neighbors are
afraid to go hear the place. In addi-
ton to the care of his own family, liv-
ing and dead, Knsch is caring as best
he can for his wife's mother an aged
invalid who has lived with them for
years.
