REsOLUTIoNs
Adopted by the Grand Lodge or Good
 Templars.

Since last we met, the Angel of Death has visited us, and ssatched from our circle our beloved brother, W. L. Van Horn, of Tempe Lodge, No. 2, who was one of the organizers of the Grand Lodge of Arizona, its first Grand Counselor and Repre- sentative to the International Su- preme Lodge.
 The bylaws of this Grand Lodge are monument to his wisdom aud zeal, and his efficient labors in be- half of our order can never be for gotten by the true Good Templar.
 Possessed of a deep love for and unbounded faith in the order. a heart that beat in sympathy with all mankind, q mind we'll stored with useful knowledge, spirit of gentle ness and consideration for the feel- ings and opinions of his associates, and a zeal for the upbuilding of our order that knew no bound he was beloved, respected and recognized as a safe leader by all Good Tem- plars, and his wise counsels and pleasant smile of greeting will be sadly missed by those who remain to carry the burdens which he laid down.
 It is fitting that this Grand Lodge, in recognition of his eminent ser vices, and to preserve his memory for future generations, express its sentiments of sorrow and regret up- on his untimely decease, therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That in the death of w. l.. Van Horn, this Grand Lodge has lost true friend, wise coun- selor and fearless, jealous leader, whose usefulness, suitability and devotion to the cause of Good Tenn plary, endeared him in the hearts of all.

the Inflated vessel on May I'd when 200
miles off the Nicaraguan coast, and
landed them at Punta Arenas.
The Buckhurst sailed from Newcastle
for Panama with a cargo of coal on
February I'd last, and had an unevent-
full voyage until April Sd, when smoke
was seen issuing from her matches and
ventilators. The pumps We're rugged,
but without effect, for after working
night and day for ten days the flames
compelled the crew to abandon the ship.
After the vessel burned to the waters
edge the boats were headed for Cocos
Island, 40 miles distant, but only three
of the five reached there a week later.

disappeared. Twenty days were spent
upon that island by the castaways
without seeing a sail, and fearing that
their provisions would not last much
longer, they decided to take to the
boat again. When picked up by the
City of Para they were in a most de-
plorable condition from thirst, heat and
exposure.
ANOTHER WRECK.
Advices from Acapulco per steamship

ing the particulars of the wreck of the
British ship Kinkora on Clipperton
Reef on May I'd. It appears that while
on the voyage from Puget Sound to
England with a cargo of lumber the
Kinkora was struck by a squall and
dismasted on May 1st, when some 600
miles northwest of Acapulco. Captain
McMurtle made an effort to rig up jury
masts in the hope of making the near
est port, but another storm drove the
vessel upon Clipperton Reef that night,
and the crew of twenty-seven men
landed on the reef and camped there.
After vainly waiting for a passing sail
for some days, the first officer and a
crew of six men volunteered to make
the trip to Acapulco, which they finally
reached, more dead than alive, on June
Sd.
When the rescuing party left Clipper
ton Reef there was sufficient food to
last the remaining twenty men about
four months.

Inc old school friend of the actress

her salary wasn't so large, either.

Perhaps my salary is not as large as
you think" said the actress.
It's a good deal larger than mine,
anyway" was the reply.
But my necessary expenses are
larger" argued the actress. You must
not forget that I am travelling most of

if she considered the argument alb
