Happy Life of Washington Lodge of
MaSOns in Warren.
Celebration of the Centennial by Ian.
quet and Speeches.

"The history of Masonic lodge can
not be written in worde. 1t Is seen in the
nves of it's mem bers and their achieve
ments. The most that can be doue is to
sketch the more important events OF its
life ami recall SO far as possible facts con-
nected with its formation and growth"
The above was quotation in the ad-
dress delivered by Worshipfui Cfarles
Is. Mason, historian of Washington
Lodge, No. 3, A. +. A. d., OF Warren. at
the Tooth anniversary OF that oragniza-
tion last night. And although the his
torical ADDRESS was comprehensive and
an abe review OF the past century in the
life of the Oldest subordinate lodge In
Rhode Isia nd il contained no truer state
ment than that in the quotation L hat the
history "cannot be written in woros,"
and the truth OF this was most obvious
to any one so fortunate as TO be present
and tnjoy he hospitality of tDat s~,en-
did gathering of brothers of the MhsCnic
OrGer. Men were there who stand high
in the ranks OF the StBte's best and ablest
men and the WORDS that the real history
OF such an organization Is IN the lives
and achievements OF its members were
not idle. e.-----
The celebration was most successful
affair and This morning the secretary OF
the lodge found the names OF 260 guests
on the register. Representatives from
nearly all he sister lodges were present
and as Grand Master LrRwley observed, 1t
rem indei one OF grand family reunion.
The parents have come TO the home OF
their fret born to celebrate with them
and wish them godspeed on this the an
niversary OF their natal day.
At the dinner Worshipfcl Henry L.
Clark, master of the lodge. presided and
introduced Right WorshIpful B. NJ. Bos-
worth Rs tOastmaster.
After the reading of the lodge history

OF wrought gold. the gift OF the masters,
wardens and brothers OF all the other
subordinate lodges. NoIshipful Lewis II.
Meader acknowledged the gift in behalf
of his associates and the guests arose
and sang "Auld Lang Sync."
The grand masters address followed
the presentation and in alluding TO the
trials and hard places that every lodge ns
well SO every individual must sometimes
inevitably come to ne quoted the follow
ing verses which are for universal appli-
cation:

These eminently thrifty and prudent
gentlemen, the coal barons, have just
I IA in the price OF anthracite coal and
the increase goes into effect Immediately.
What is more, the barons are not likely
TO rest satisfied with this addition to their
revenue. They have way OF pushing up
the price when cold weather comes on
that is very exasperating to the head OF
the family who has empty bins that must
be filled Mt the higher price. Those who
are fortunate enough TO be able 10 buy
their coal In large quantities will not
feel this screwing mp of prices as heavily
as the poor people who live from hand to
mouth and who are seldom able To buy
more than a basket at time. They not
only have to pay the exactions OF tho pro.
ducing baroDs hut OF another set OF
grasping and sometimes dishonest men
the barohs OF the basket. This latter
class Is a positive bane TO the poor reo-
PIE. Many of those who form IL DO not
scruple in the least 10 extract from their
INDECENT customers profir OF nearly 800
per cent. on every ton OF coal they sell
by the basket. Indeed in one instance
q case came TO the attention of City Seal
er Pettis in which one OF these basket
parons was selling coal TO poor woman,
and on the basis of the quantity furnish
ed as a bushel he was charging her at
the rate of more than $40 ton. And the
unfortunate part OF il is that Ii Is diff
cult and almost impossible to punish
these dishonest dealers under the law as
it is at present. The people who are
duped by them can not be prevailed
upon to appear against them in court and
as sale from short baskets must be
proven in order 10 secure conviction, the
guilty ones escape. OF course there are
honest dealers, many OF them, but the
proportion of dishonest ones is very large
and ii is pity that the Legislature has
thus failed TO pass law which will put
an end once and for all to such swindiing
practices.

Gregory Forsyth and likew ise the Earl Of

It. John, N. b. on the serious charge OF
abduction and other things. He has, II
is reported, been similarly harassed in
other places since he left these parts.
This item OF news has a little interest
for this newspaper since the Count
brought libel suit against The NEWS
before departing hence. THE NEWS un-
Willingly referred to the Count as a
tramp. The Count objected, so the re-
porter explained his mistake by inform
ing the public that 1t was due 10 the fact
that the Count looked like tramp. The
Count engaged counsel snd brought suit
for 5000 damages on the explanation.
The suit has never been pressed.

FRANK ALDRICH'S DEATH.
What Coroner Lincoln Has TO Say About
the Sad Fatality.


the Sad Fatality.
Coroner Lincoln stated yesterday that
there was little doubt in his mini that
Walter NJ. Smith, who unfortunately
collided with Frank Aldrich on his
bicycle recently, thereby causing Aid
rich's death, was riding pretty fast 10
sort of "show off," His bike had a very
high gear, ana he probably spnrted a
little, being 80 yards ahead of one friend
and 100 yards ahead of the other at the
time. Tne coroner is exceedingly sorry
Cor Smith, whom he has known some
time and likes. He knows, of course,
that the young fellow did not intend TO
do it, and he is punished enough already.
Still, the law says that IL the coroner
finds enough cause, warrant must be
issued, and Smith has been advised to
have bail ready. Mr.. Lincoln thinks,
however, that no jury would convict the
man. Ii Is another Keough case, he says.
Yesterday afternoon the last witness.
DIR. Gray, one OF those who attended
Aldrich, was heard.

The summer season at Oakland Beach,
judging from present indications, will
be a success both socially and financial
ly. Even at this early date, early for
the summer migration from the cities,
there are quite number OF guests al
rea dy installed ut this pleasant hostelry.
Furthermore rooms are being engo ged
daily and by the opening of next
month the probabilities are that the
summer season will be in full blast.
1t seems as though the Providence
people are at last coming 10 a proper real
ization OF tho charms OF this paradise of
the numerous shore resorts within close
proximity to the city. Though they
are not docking here, nor are they com
ing in drovos, still there is a steady in
crease daily that augurs well for the
place.
As is the case everywhere else the
wheel monopolizes tho grester part OF the
pastime, though boating, tennis and
bathing come In for their shaPe. speak
ing of bathing II is remarkable how
warm and pleasant the water Is for this
season of the year.
