The question was again asked OF me.
What Jurisdiction has Grand Lodges
of F. A. A. M. over the higher
branches? | supposed when | an
swered the questions that all lntelll-
gent Masons would see the point. The
following is copied from the New York
Sunday Dispatch, of February p, 1895 !;
Up to I7o5, the Degrees OF the Royal
Arch were conferred in Blue Lodge
and as one degree. Shortly afterwards,
Thomas Webb and several companions
met and consolidated the degrees, now
called the Chapter Degrees. In 1898 a
Convention met in Hartford, Conn,
and adopted a Constitution for their
government as separate ana olstlnCt
bodies from Blue Lodges and eStab-
lished the degrees as we now nave
them. Well every Mason OF any sense,
whatever, knows that the Commandery
is separate. Now the grand questonl
presents itself as follows: II Grand
Lodges are supreme over higher de-
grees, why do Royal Arch MasonS
have Grand Chapters with a Grand
High Priest as the head othcer
Knight Templars, Grand Comman-
dery with a r. E. G.. c. as the head
officer? Bodies of the A. A. S. K, a
Supreme Council with the P. 5. y. I:
as it's head officer. And the Mobiles OF
the MYSTIC Shrine, a Grand Council
with M. /. G.. P. as its head officer.
All these Grand Bodies having separate
works, laws, fot rheir government: IN
nv opinion, a Grand Lodge of F. A.
A. NJ, according to the several subdi-
visions of the Order. is only supreme
over the degrees of the Blue Depart
ment and nothing more. There are
several more points could advance,
but in view of the fact that | am not
writing book upon the subject will
refrain.

GREAT ROMAN EDiFICE.

Catholics of France to Erect the Largest
Building in the World.
The Roman Catholics of France in
exposition of 1900 which, ii their plans
are carried out, will be the largest and
highest ever heard OF, says the New
York Tribune It is to be 1900 feet
long, 1000 feet wide and 1 600 feet high.
Such an altitude seems preposterous,
and there may be some mistake in the
description, but there seems no limit to
the extravaganza of worlds fair archi-
lecture Since the Pharaohs and Caesars
the church has been the greatest
builder in the world, and such q
structure would be quite in line
with it's historic achievements St.
Peters might be set in one corner Of
it, and the Minister of Cologne in an
other, leaving a vacant acreage sufffi-
cient to accommodate all the saints,
relics and other properties it has ac-
cumulated in 1900 years. Internation-
al fairs are really intended to show
something else-the productions Of con-
temporary art and industry but if the
church elects to celebrate itself in this
manner, there is no doubt that it will
make a tremendous showing. It's
building, if the promise is kept, will
soar high above all others known, in
Guiding the pyramid and the tower of
Babel, and beside 1t all the existing
constructions of Paris will look like

Remarkable Operation Performed at New
York on Young Girl.
That a broken neck can be treated
with comparative certainty and dis
patch has been illustrated by the
surgical staff of the Post Graduate
hospital, of New York city, in the
case of Miss Abbie McCully, of No, 34e
West Fifty-sixth street
Miss McCully is the seventeen-year-
old daughter of John Y. McCully, a
piano manufacturer. She lives with
her aunt, Mrs. Anna Smith. Three
weeks ago she paid visit to another
aunt, Mrs. Harris, of Jersey City
Heights, where, a few days later,
with the two children of Mrs.
Harris, the visitor was swing
ing in the veranda hammock,
when it was overturned, and it's
three occupants were thrown heavily
to the floor 1t was fall of only two
feet, but the unfortunate girl stru9k
with crushing force on the back of her
head, and lay unconscious. Examina-
ton showed that the neck was broken
and splintered at the fifth vertebra,
and to all appearances the girl had but
few hours to live.
Within an hour of her arrival at the
hospital she was on the operating table
The yertebra, which pressed against
the spinal cord, was carefully removed,
bit by bit. Her neck was securely
bandaged in position before the effects
of the anesthetic passed away, and
with returning consciousness came the
power of motion and sense of feeling
in the paralyzed limbs.
The operation was succ ess.
Miss McCully is improving rapidly,
and will probably be able to leave the
hospital in a month.

fusing to Marry a Couple.
Rev w. A. Hunsberger, one of the
busiest pastors at the most popular
Gretna Green of America, Milwaukee,
Wis, drew the line on one couple that
wanted to be married the other day.
They were from Chicago, both exceed
ingly well dressed, having the appear
ance of people possessed of a fair share
of worldly gooGs. The occupation of the
gentleman was given as travelling man.
The questions Of the examination were
satisfactorily answered and the cere-
mony had proceeded to the question:
"Wilt thou have this woman to be
thy welded wife?''
Course 1 WILL" came the response in
a thick and jovial tone, the groom at
the same time throwing his arms about
the brides neck.
The parson stopped. 'Not with my
consent" he Numbered. ''You are in
toxicated, sir, and / will never consent
to marry couple. under such condi-
TONS"
The groom nervously fumbled for
his hat and gloves, and without a
glance at his half-fainting bride
moved toward the door, accompanied
by the pastor. 81 am sorry 1t is i'm
possible for me to marry you," said
Mr.. Hunsberger, and then turning to
the bride he proceeded to give her a
short lecture on the danger of uniting
with one addicted to drink.

pedals until the motor acts. The cost
Of the machine is two hundred and fifty
dollars. There is a similar vehicle to
carry two persons. For carriages a
kind Of steam horse is used. The front
wheels are removed and an extra one
attached to the projecting platform of
the horse. Coke is used for fuel, and
there is no noise, smoke or steam. The
weight is not greatly increased, and
prices range from eighteen hundred
dollars to twenty five hundred dollars.
