NOTES OF GRAND LODGE.

that the most ardous duties connected
with the grand lodge are these outside
the door When seven or eight hundred
men come clamOring for admission into
such a secret body as a Masonic grand
lodge IL requires a great deal Of talent
to dispose of them properly. II they
have the proper credentials there IS not
much trouble, but if they have not, then
| they are not entitled 10 walk IN with
| out some explanations or without get
ting somebody TO vouch for them. The
committee on credentials are Nose Sar-
back of HoIton, W. II. Voeth of Pitts
| burg, 3. II. Beatte of Sterling and John
| Mccullough of Galena- Mr. Beatte is
/ chairman of the committe and registers
| the big guns such as past grand mas
tiers. grand lecturers and past masters
| of local lodges. Great big hearted Nose
| Sarback registers the delegates or. as
| they are technically called, the repre-
/ sentatives. Billy Voeth is the man who
| sees that they are all right and get the
/ buttons while Mr.. McCullagh helps him.

| probably nominate him for the upper
| house of the state legislature and If the
