REV. BROWNE AND TIRE TRUE RE-
FORMERS.
Queries Answered.

GERMANrowN, PHIL, April ,, '95.
Dear Sir Did Rev. Browne sell the
Regalia Department to himself and the
order for $1,000? Did he offer TO sell
the work TO himself and the Order at
the last Grand Sitting for several
thousand dollars?
Please let me know about this.
There is much trouble here in German
town among the True Reformers about
lit Arhere is n great talk here about it.
Yours,
ABRAHAM JONES.
The regalia department was pur-
chased from Rev. Browne and his
Madame for ($30OO) three thousand
dollars. He stated that the Order had
given that privilege to him and as
there was much talk about it, he was
willing to yield it up for fair compen-
sation.
The Board of Directors agreed to buy
it-of him. The sum of $1,000 was the
amount that was thought to be satis-
factory to him and 1T was purchased
for that sum.
At the sitting of the Grand Fountain
at Iynchburg last September, he an
nounced from the rostrum that he had
the scheme and copyright of the plan
by which the order was run, and ne
wanted the Order to buy that. As the
Grand Fountain had just supplement-
ed the amount from the subordinate
fountains by making it one thousand
dollars with which to buy a pair o
black horses and "A handsome carriag'
as present. there was a great commo

the Grand Fountain next September
It has been estimated that the amour
desired by Rev. Browne for the schem
and plans or rather the amount 10
which ne would be willing to par
with them ranges anywhere from 81
600 to $50, 600. Any delegate TO tn
last Grand Fountain can inform you
the affair.-Ed.
