matters connected with ritual This sub
ject has grown in Importance with the
passing of the years since the meeting of
the last body until various vexing devia-
tions have become noticeable throughout
the grand chapters. These deviations
will require special action, and il is the
intention of the general grand chapter to
establish uniformity in the ritual and
ceremonies 1t is needless to point out that
these matters are never entirely made
public, but as there have been differences
OF opinion for over a year with regard to
the insignia and their proper use-east-
ern members asserting. indeed that
some western states have not understood
the purport of much of the Masonic code
action mas become imperative. All diff
ferences of view will be recouciled and
the cOnvOcation will appoint a special
commission to investigate and report. In
the course of a few months all the varia-
tions from orthodox Masonry which have
displeased some of the brethren who pre-
fer regularity will have become things of
the past.
There will also come up for adjudication
various decisions promulgated by the
grand chapters of the several states, but
they are all comparatively unimportant
The authority of the convocation, 1t may
be well to state, is by no means absolute,
as the autonomy of the subordinate
chapters is secured by the constitutions
which have been granted them. The
powers of the conVOcatiOn are as restricted
TO their special functions as are the
powers of the grand chapters. This is a
circumstance with which even many
Masons are unfamiliar, and the
threat of appeal to the convocatiou is by
no means the awful thing they would
seem to imagine
Such states as have no grand
chapters of their own will be compelled
to look to the convocation for authority
to make special dispositions of their re-
sources. Such jurisdiction as wish to
form grand chapters will be heard. There
is also to be a special commission from the
Sandwich Islands, the members of which
desire to form a grand chapter. The
growth of the white population of that
region and the increase in membership
appear to warrant greater autonomy than
has hitherto been deemed advisable
This is the first convocation that has ever
been obliged to deal at length with Ma
sonic conditions in those islands. 1t is
expected that the commission will secure
various important privileges, al
though none of the convocation member
ship will say in advance what action is
likely to be taken.
China, although under the jurisdiction
of the convocation, shows no material
change from past records. The repre-
sentation will be small, and the delega.
ton has not single native of the Celestial
| regions upon it.
The final adjournment will take place
| on the 26th or the 9th of this month
The mayor of Topeka is to address the
delegates, and the usual banquet in the
Masonic temple will bring the exercises
to a close. The next convocation does
not meet until 1897, and its place may

MURDER OF a SON BY MISTAKE.
An Extraordinary Story That
Reaches ENGLAND from Galioia.

An Extraordinary Story That
Reaches England from Galicia.
Vienna Dispatch TO the London Daily News
An extraordinary story is reported from
Tarnopol, in Galicia. A peasant named
Adam Gawrydo, whose property is in a
small village near Zbaraz, in Galicia, cut
his own sons throat with a kitchen
knife by mistake Some weeks ago A
Jewish merchant, Solomon Barb, bought
old GawrydO's stock of honey and paid
fifty horlnS in advance, to make the
bargain valid. When the time for de-
livering the honey came the peasant de-
clared that he could not keep his word,
and was prepared TO pay any damages to
the merchant that the rabbi might de-
eide
Yesterday they both went to the rabbi
VINO said the peasant must pay the mer-
chant ten forms damages This he did
most willingly, and both went away
| together On the way home they stopped
at a wayside inn, and did not leave it till
night. 1t began to rain, and the peasant
asked the merchant 10 pass the night in
his house. The merchant accepted, aud
they went home together. The peasant
| prepared bed Of straw IN the barn. and
when the merchant had laid down went
to his own room, after carefully locking
/ the barn door. This frightened the mer-
chant so much that he got up, felt his
/ way about until he found a second door,
/ which was boted from the inside, left
| the barn and started to walk back to the
/ inn. In the meantime the son of
/ the peasant returned home half
| drunk, and, finding the barn door open,
/ walked III and dropped on the bed of straw
/ prepared for the stranger. He was soon
/ fast asleep The merchant on his way to
! the inn met gendarme, who asked him
/ where he was going so late. Barb told
! him all that had happened, and the gen
/ darme thinking he bad a dangerous man
! before him who was lying to avoid sus-
| picion, asked him to go with him to the
! PEASANTS house. There they found
! Gawrydo in the act of washing his hands
which were stained with blood. When he
saw them he exclaimed, Surely l killed
! you an instant agou" The gendarme
| searched the house, and in the barn found
| the son of the peasant dead with his
| throat cut. The peasant was Immediately
/ arrested.

hand through his white hair. then closed
his eyes in deep thought. But at last he
said; Tel them 10 do their own think

instance. 10 stop and think of it. Tell

AN ILLUSTRATION.
Let me illustrate it for them Traffic
companies enter into combinations to CON
troll traffic, so that freight may be carried
e profitable rate. Up TO a certain point
all the mem bets of the com bination bind
themselves to act in accord but when in
the Judgment Of any member the continu-
ance in the combination is believed to be
not for his good, then he withdraws, and
no mem Der of the com bination may stop
him or cOerce him.
Let the members of the labor unions
do that very thing. When all member
blindly obey one man, or set of men. then
an absolutiSm, a tyranny, is established,
which is Incompatible with the principle
of individual liberty.
"Norklngmen, my advice to YOU is to
preserve your individuality, your right to
act as your reason and judgment dictate.
Don't let others think for you. Study the
constitution. Learn its granden and
Justice. Then prosperity and happiness
will be yours"
What the future plans of the Vermont
statesman are, only Mr.. Edmunds knows.
His interest in public affairs is still una
bated; his zeal in spreading the know
ledge of the principles of republicanism
IS unt!agging; his patriotism and iudg-
ment are as sound as ever they were.
Perhaps he looks forward to a return to
public life, its cares and responsibilities.

vigor, a comparatively young man. What

New York Letter in San Francisco Argonaut
The spring weddings are over, and the
happy couples are cooling in retreats
which have been selected often from a
financial standpoint. Not few have
gone to Europe, in spite of hard times, re-
duced profits and defaulted coupons. But
the great majority have sought the Sc
clusion which their condition exacts in
leafy groves and by cool waters in their
own country Far away from the realms of
fashion a dollar is still dollar
The happy Benedicts have taken
the light of their lives with them
but have, in many cases, left
their bills behind. Some of these have
passed into the hands of friends. who.
perhaps, were charged to gather them to-
gether; few have got into the papers
for the guidance and instruction of the
generation Of bachelors. They are, indeed
instructive reading, and deserve attentive
perusal by all who contemplate self-sacri-
fee IN marriage. From them it appears
that, while young lady of the highest
rank and fortune may, and, perhaps,
should, spend $4,000 on her trosseau, a
man may defray the immediate cost Of

II is hardly necessary to specify the
opening proceedings. as they viii conform

which IRE known even 70 the tyFos in the
degree OF Royal arch. Moreover there
will be an infinite amount of detail labor
to be gone through in the sessions, for the
convOcatiOn will not merely have to deal
with the business Of the fOrty-three grand
chapters each representing a state of the
Royal Arch degree, except Pennsylvania
and Virginia. There will be some 2.0SO
subordinate enrolled chapters to deal
with, exclusive of y subordinate chapters
in the territories. and as the Sandwich
Islands and the Chinese Empire are under

necessarily assume something of an inter
