OF Perfection held another special
meeting, and worked the Sixth to
| Ninth Degree, inclusive on two candi-
dates, and which was presided over by
Inspector General Bro. O. 5. Long, the
other officers assisting him, and we can
report it done frst-class, especially
/ that of the Ninth. of which every one
enjoyed the complication as it
! brought back recollectiOns of the past
when Sir Long occupied the same posi-
| ton in the work. and made such
vivid impression on us as a candidate
If the Lodge holds another session the

fresh in the minds OF the brethren pres
ent Past Grand Master, Bro o. 5. Long
will deliver lecture on the Fellow
! Craft degree and demonstrate the many
beauties of that degree which are hid
! den behind symbols, and Of which but
fewof those who pass through the forms
and ceremonies of the degree make any

bro Long selected the time for the
! lecture Of the degree when work would
actually be done for reasons already eX-
! planned and that his hearers having (as

minds, so that everyone could under
stand more fully his remarks relative

Bro. Long desires it to be a grand mass
meeting of the Fraternity, not only of

members of Masonic Lodges in the near

promptly at 1880 o'clock so that the leco

Osiris Temple met on last Friday
evening. We had a business engage
ment and did not attend. OF course
| that's a legal excuse and usually grant
ed. Not being presentwe cannot diyulge
| to our readers what we don't know,
| but what we do know no one can Offices
! to. OF course we have seen many of the
credentials necessary for a camel back
rider. and we have heard the jingle Of
| the stuff necessary to buy feed for the
ann-i-mile. but there should be very
many more sending in for their through
trip tickets, for but a few days remain
| before the caravan leaves for the land
I q Of -
| to be about July 10. The noble POten-
| tate tells me the camels are abroad
grazing in the fields of the fertile and
verdme of Osiris, and are getting in
! frst-class condition. and that the latch
string is out and many good fellows arc
/ becoming much attached to the afore-
said string. so that when the time comes
/ TO raise the latch the string will be full
and ready to be unstrUng as will be tho
! pleasure to dun away with them. A
word to the wise is all that is necessary,
| therefore send to the secretary for an
application ere it be too late and not
have it to regret that YOU lost part OF
your life by not becoming one Of the
Shrine.
During the past week we received a

! lodge. and he says of that Masonic body
that they not only lost the hall in which
they were holding their meetings in,
but every part of their furniture and
effec.s. except about twenty chairs and
| the records, and whilst many of the
brethren lost their homes, their furni-
ure. their store rooms and their stock,
and Notwithstanding the CONSERVATION
which reigns all around them, they are
not discouraged, but are buoyant and
hopeful that the calamity may prove to
he for the best for the future welfare
and prosperity of the town, and that
they will Law the corner stone of the
new brick three story hall on June "a,
and push the building with energy TO
completion.
On Thursday evening we had the
