MASONRY

During the past week but two bodies
have held meetings in the Temple. the
others only holding one meeting a
month during the summer. On Monday
evening Wheeling Union Chapter met.
and its session was attended by large
number of companions, who assisted in
comforting the degrees Of Mark. Past,
Select and Royal on a team who were
found TO be present. The work was
well and impressively done by Most Ex-
cellent High Priest Warden and his
corps Of officers. a
On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge met
and conferred the entered apprentice
and fellow craft degrees on one candi-
date each, and every part Of which wa9
finely rendered by Worshipful Master
George b. Peabody and the other Off
GERS who assisted him in the work, ana
the large number OF officers gathered
there were much pleased with the man4
ner in which the work was done
The meeting for the coming week is

T. =
of candidates on the way, no doubt
some OF the degrees will be conferred at
that meeting.
On Tuesday evening. at o'clock
sharp, the knights Of Wheeling Com
mandery No. 1 will leave on their pill
grimage by the Wheeling and Lake
Erie Railroad. 1t was anticipated that
parade would take place previous TO
leaving, but this has been dispensed
with on account of the ladies who will
accompany the Sir Knights desiring
rhem to- go to the depot to make all the
arrangements which viii be required
before leaving. All who 90 on the trip
must bring their trunks, etc, to the
Wheeling and Lake Erie depot, and also
purchase their tickets there, and as it
will require some time to do this, they
had better get around to the depot by T
o'clock.
We are just in receipt of General Or
der No. ., issued by the Grand Com
mandery of West Virginia, notifying
the Knights of Wheeling COmmandery
No of the meeting of the Grand En-
campment at Boston, and requesting
the Eminent Commander to meet with
the officers of the Grand COmmandery
at o'clock p. IN. on Monday evening,
at Hotel Brunswick. in Boston, for con-
sutation, and also that West Virginia's
position will be in the middle OF the
18th division and form on Common
wealth avenue, opposite Hotel Ven
dome
Wheeling Commandery is receiving
from many Of the Western COmman-
deries superb invitations to attend re-
ceptions during the time OF their stay
sn Boston. and unless we divide the Sin
knights into committees OF TWO, we
don't see how we can attend them all.
At their stay in New York Palestine
No. 10, of that city, will entertain them.
We were in receipt of q copy Of the
Boston Daily Globe Of August II. whose
headline of the Templar news begins

burg No. /. who will arrive in Boston
on August 9th, and whose headQuar-
tiers VIII be on their palace cars at
Union depot" While we know the
Knights of the commandery are proud
OF its record, we believe every citizen OF
our citizen is as well pleased with the
well honored fame Of the Hub"
The Grand Standery of West Vir-
ginia and the banner and Old Glories
of Wheeling Commandery No. 1 made
handsome showing in Brother Gund-
