GRAND LODGE WORK
opened with ANNUAL Address of
Grand Master Rroxvn


The Masonic grand lodge of Minna-
sofa opened it's session. at noon yester-
Gay, Grand Master Calvin S. Brown.
OF Morris, presiding The session is
pelng held In the Masonic Temple. the
main hall of which isfwell filled with
representatives in attendance at the
meeting. The galleries :are occupied bv
VISITING brothers from various local
lodges. AS soon as the lodge was for
maHy opened, Grand Master Brown be-
gan to read his annual address.
After brief introduction, Mr.. Brown re-
fefred to the fact that during the wear dis
pensations had been granted to three new
lodges, one at st. Paul, one at Wood Lake and
one at Dassel, and9S he Recommended that
charters be granted them The iurisdiction
now contains 215 chartered lodges. and the
total membership is in excess of 5000. The
aooress referred, too. to the work of the
board of custodians of the work, which has
Just completed its first full years work.
GrGnd Master Brown stated that two mem
Ders OF the board, Messrs. Griswold of ST.
raul, and raymond, of Minneapolis had held
the SIX schools of instruction required but
that Messrs. Dickinson, of Redwood: Patten.
OF Duluth, and Barnum, of st. Cloud have
been unable to hold theirs, owing to business
exigencies. He commended the object of fine
board, Which is to preserve and inculcate in
all It's purity and impressiv the ap-
proved work OF the Jurisdiction. and he trust
ed that the board would continue until some
better way, II any, could be found to carry
out the object.
The grand masters address dealt largely
with general topics, largely of esoteric char
acter, not interesting to the outside world,
and, beyond the recommendation that the con-
stitution be amended so as to allow subordi-
nate lodges in the same town to consolidate
Il they see fit, there were but two phases of
the report of generally interesting nature.
One of these calls forth the following from
the grand master:
"A brother and member Of a subordinate
lodge having caused the downfall of young
lady and then left her to her fate, 1 have been
asked by the worshipfuI master what should
be done in the premises. Any Mason who
trifes with the affections of an innocent girl,
causing her to become the mother of an il
legitimate child. and then abandons her to
the mercy of the world, grossly violates the
moral law and is therefore guilty CT a Mason
possible speed IN
The grand master salso trapped the crafty
politicians over the knuekles pretty sharply
After calling attention toIfthe fact that too
much electioneering ia INDUCED in, he pro-
ceeds 70 state as nrinciple the fact that in
Masonry, the Office should always seek the
man, and not the man the Office.
Altogether, it was an -sfninently practical
and interesting address, co4aaining much mat
ter to serve as precedent.
The address was followed by the re-
port of the grand secretary and grand

Hlmsy pamphlet given away by drug

medicine, will be surprised and delight
ca When they inspect copy of the new

auspices Of newspaper; it contains
Az pages, and these are double the
size OF any other Almanac issued. But
It's distinctive feature. which places it
above and beyond all others, is found
IN the fact that it contains 48 maps

Canada and Central America. These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas-Almanac
by the Well-known atlas maker, George

the National Government, State Gov
ernments, Politics, Election returns,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law,
Sports, Society, the Home, besides a
large amount of information regarding
domestic and foreign affairs Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and it has cost more to produce
it than any Year Book ever published
in America, yet it will nevertheless be
supplied to readers and their friends at
the nominal price of 25 cents per copy
The maps alone are worth many times
this amount, and the entire work will
be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be up with the times in
matters of general information Price

NEW BANK FOR SIT. PAUL.
Report That Mr.. Btckel Is to Organ.
ize One.


The directors of the Germania bank
held meeting yesterday afternoon
Just what was under consideration
could not be positively learned last
night. 1t is learned, however, from
what is believed to be very authentic
authority, that the presidency, which
was unanimously rendered by the
directors to Mr. Bickel, was positively
declined by him, and in this connec-
ton it is gathered from the same
source that Mr.. Bickefs declinat ton and
supposed severance of his connection
with the Germania bank means the or
ganiZation Of another strong bank for
ST. Paul, in which some OF the proni-
nent German citizens OF this city and
state will be largely interested, making
it virtually German bank. The same
authority intimates q very desirable
and prominent location has been Sc
lected, and that the reorganization of
one or two of the banks Of the city
will be effected to be merged into this
one institution; also, that name has
already been selected and that the new
bank will be known as the Allemania
Bank of st. Paul. 1t is not known who
will succeed Mr. Bickel in the Ger
mania bank, as president, but, it is
understood, that the board of directors
adjourned for one week, at which meet
ing officers will be elected.
It is understood that the directors
still entertain hopes that Mr.. BickeI
may be induced to change his present
determination. Mr. .Bickel, however,
is said to be unalterable in his inten-
ton to stand by the decision to which
he arrived.
The Germania bank was organized in
the year 1884 and for many years has
been known as a very successful and
prominent financial institution. Under
Mr.. Bicke1s management a very large
clientage has been drawn to the bank
The causes for the withdrawal Of Mr..
Bickel are said to be purely Of a per-
sona1 nature.

The voices blended we'll and the sing
ing was expressive and satisfying, with
evidence of thorough training appear
ing at all times.
Choruses We're also given by the sep
arate societies. The Apollo Singing
society (Swedish). sang Lindblad's
beautiful chorus Mature and Heart
admirably. The Norges Ekko and the
Nordmaendenes Singing societies also
acquitted themselves most creditably.

gende, op. IT. Gustav Holmquist's basso
was heard to good advantage in Schu-
bert's "Mitt hem and Prof. J. Lund-
berg, the pianist. interpreted the con-
cert waltz by Wieniawski.
The orchestral music furnished by

excellent and enjoyable to degree.

played were the civilian TelT'' over
ture, selections from the "Peer Gynt
Suite by Grieg, the Swedish Wedding
March, and fantasia by H. G.
Lumby.
