Discussing the Next Meeting Place.
The members OF the Grand Lodge at the
early afternoon session devoted much of
their time to informally discussing the
meeting place of the next annual conven-
ton. Philadelphia seems to be in the lead.
The Massachusetts contingent are sounding
the praises of the different cities in that
state and are anxious to have the Grand
Lodge. Having been defeated in their as
plratlons to select kindall Taylor, who for
the past ten years has been an aspirant
to the office of national grand sire the
night for the convention. The Philadelphia
people are happy over the selection of Mrs.
Sarah Scott as the associate to the national
grand sire, and, as one of the delegates put
1t. they would have felt pretty bad if Mrs
Scott had not been selected"
Much 1ubilation has been caused in the
National Lodge by the return of the Rev.
j.. Anderson Taylor, the pastor of the Shi-
lob Baptist Church of this city. to member
ship in the lodge; Rev. Taylor was one Of
the charter members of the organiza ton,
but, having become dissatisfied with the ad-
mlnlstration of some of the affairs of the
lodge he relinquished his membership. At
yesterdays session of the lodge he returned
and the brethren KILLED the fatted calf
for him, so far according him big re-
ception was concerned. Mr.. Taylor deliv-
cred lengthy speech in which he detailed
the history of the organization, and sug-
gested plans for the betterment of its con-
.dltlon His remarks were well received,
and the brethren extended to him the hand
of fellowship.

TRYING TO SMUGGLE THEM IN.
Attempt to Import Cinnamon Under
the GuiAe of Actors.

SAN FRANCISCO. September 12.-Col-
lector Wise has discovered an ingenious
fraud by which shrewd San Francisco
Spectators in the Chinese traffic seek
ing to evade the Geary law and introduce
about 300 Chinese into the United States
under the pretense that they are skilled
actors, and that they are coming to Amer
lea to give he,,Hisit0rs at the Atlanta
exposition an opportunity to see some Of
the renowned male and female histriouists
OF Hong Kong. '"'
A band of more than 200 men ard thirty

States at Ogdensburg. n. Y. II the appli-
cants should get temporary entrance on
the ground that they are legitimate actors,
inspectors will be sent 20 Atlanta to see
how they depcrt themselves and to watch
their movements.
The collector has evidence, however, that
the men are seeking a permanent home as
iaborers, and that they know nothing
about acting. There is also evidence in the
hands of the collectors that the women
were purchased in Hong Kong at 5000
each, and that the projectors of the scheme
have contracts by which they are to be
sold at Atlanta for 81 800 each If they
can be safely landed there the two or three
men who engineered the plan here will
earn about $4,000. The women would, Of
course, remain the slaves of their pur-
chasers for long period of years, if not
for their entire lives. the design being to
