Master-"why do the violets, so soon
| to fade, lie upon his breast?'
Orator-"They are a symbol of purity
and affection; the offering of brotherly
love to one who deserves to be remem-
bered, and whose death should make
us sad and sorrowful."
Then the master asked of truth if the
brother was dead and received affirma-
tive reply, 'srhe grave is deep dark,
narrow and cold" said the junior ward
en-. Even such will be the grave for
each Of u.s." said the master. yet there
the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest Brethren, do the last
sad offices to the departed, and give him
a brothers blessing, for he was one of
us, and though the dead, cannot come to
US again, they do see and hear US"
BROTHERS BLESSINGS
The senior warden laid his right hand
upon the dead knights head and said:
This once busy brain is still and dead.
1t will scheme and plan no more It's
work for good or i'll is done. May the
grace of our Father who Is in heaven
bless the soul Of which 1t was the instru-
ment."
The Junior warden placed his right
hand over the eyes. These eyes will no
more look upon the sun, the stars or the
earth orthe faces Of men. May the grace
of our Father who is in heaven make our
brother to see the truth more clearly in
the new life"

love, nor blush with shame, nor be red

lifeless as marble. May our Father who
Is in heaven be gracious unto our brother
and give him a spiritual body, warm
with the rosy hues Of eternal life"
Then the almoner, with his right hand
on the deceased's mouth, said: This
mouth will speak no more to any one IN
this world. What it hath said OF good
may our Father who is in heaven make
of i'll may He make to work no harm and
be forgotten"
Next the secretary, with his right hand
on the dead knights heart, said: This
heart no longer beats. 1t has counted all

solemn music was played upon the
organ.
Each taper except that of the vener-
able master Of the Kadosh was then ex-
tinguishes and all the knights knelt
and with their arms crossed prayed ST.
lently.
Then the venerable master, striking
the iron crocy three times with the iron
hammer, said: II bless thee. o, dead
brother, in the name of Almighty God,
in the name of the Order of the Holy
House of the Temple and In the name Of
the knights and brethren here assem-
bled. May the light of the face of God
shine upon thee and bless thee. Amen"
THE MUSIC
The chants and musical numbers were
nearly all taken from the ritual ex-
pressly prepared for the Scottish Rite
many years ago. Brother T. Masac, 32d,
who has been for years the regular or
ganist Of the Scottish Rite bodies in
this city, acted as musical director for
the service The Unity church choir,
composed as follows: Mrs. Elizabeth
Kimball-Wuerker. soprano; Miss Ro-
sina Rosin, contralto Mr.. Leader. tenor,
and Prof Hamilton, baeso, rendered the
following program, T. Masac, acting as
organist:
Organ solo (voluntary)-T Masac.
Chant-Choir.
Chant, DE Profundis'-Choir.
Quartette from Mendelssohn, Tie
Thus Ordained"-Choir.
Organ solo, "Consolation"-T. Masac.
Anthem, Nearer My God to Thee
Choir and congregation.
The music was grandly beautiful and
sublime and was rendered in most ef-
fective manner by the talented members
Of the choir In connection with Mr..
Masac, they deserve great credit for
giving the difficult ritual music so per-
fectly upon such short notice.
TO LIE IN STATE
The body of ex-Mayor RAIDER will lie
in state in Masonic temple from 0 until
12 o'clock this morning. and the genera,
eral public will be admitted.

NEW DECORATIONS
Frank Virgins Is Planning for the
Fiesta

Frank Virgins is planning Fiesta dec
orations at the chamber of commerce.
The bunting and hags in the tri-colcr
for the side streets are about finished.
They are composed of the three wide
stripes and finished with woolen fringe.
They will be placed on First. Second,
Third. Fourth and Fifth streets.
The street decora tions this year will
not follow last years plan at all. Big
Fiesta and big American flags will be
used on the principal streets. One hun.
dred and sixty large poles with a gilded
acorn will be set up for flags and stream
ers.
Flags, banners, streamers and PEN
nants are all being made; all last years
material is being overhauled ard all
that may be utilized is renovated. Palms
and evergreens will be used in great
numbers.
The citrus fruit growers tariff COM
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. Klokke,
Story and Chamlin, work each morn
ing on the tariff. About $4,000 has been
collected for the fund. The funds are
very necessary, as the New York cham
Der of commerce are working very hard
to reduce the tariff, and Southern Gait
fornia must work for her own interest.
The herald., 1897-03-31

Therefore. venerable master If thou
vert even thrice to call upon uy to ac-
cuse our brother, whose lips are closed
SO that hs can no longer answer for
himself. thou wouldst call in vain, for we
are all brethren in the bond of knight
Hood and do reverence our dead"
THE JUDGMENT.
The master again asked the brethren
if they had aught Of which to accuse the
dead brother There being no reply he
said: Since there is no accuscr, there
can be no judgment. Does no man ac.
cuse the dead?"
All the brethren knelt on the right knee
and said God is his Judge. and ours. !"
The master then struck three heavy
blows upon the Iron cross and said: Let
the grave then be ready to receive this
body" Then followed further ques-
tions from the master and brief answers
by the wardens, after which the master
said: "The Almighty God is tender
love and plying compassion, as we'll as
justice. Therefore, my brethren, let us
obey His laws Prepare the body of our
brother for Its last resting place"
The master then struck three blows on
the iron cross, followed by soft. plaintive
music, during which the coffin lid was
removed, exposing to view the body Of
the deceased knight, who was dressed in
the habit of Knight of Kahosh. The
hands and feet were found to be tied
with a cord, the temples adorned with
a chaplet Of laurel and vine leaves; on
the heart lay a bunch Of freshly cullet
violets; on the breast cross of gold
sparkling with Jewels.
The master then referred to the chap
let Of leaves and laurel, and ordered
their removal as better honors have
feer WNn in thA OF her world
The master asked as to the cross, and
was angwere0 by the officers that il de-
notes the splendors and dignities of life
in this world. But" the master said,
"mnn came into the world with nothing;
he can take nothing out" The cross was
ordered taken from the breast Of the de-
ceased.
Similar questions as to why the hands
and feet OF the deceased were bound
