ATTENDANCE AT FUNERALS.
Representative Of Different Lodges
Noet tnnd Discuss the Matter.

The representatives If the different
lodaes on this side met Saturday even
ingin Masonic hall. There were about
scvcnty-GVc present and Joseph On
yer was chosen chairman. Cassius
Morgan was made secretary.
1t was the sentiment of the session
that each representative, in reporting
to his lodge, should ascertain the opln-
ion of that lodge upon the adNisabllltE
OF having the relief committee or
lodge call upon the minister in charge
of the funeral services of brother
and ascertain the time the cortege
would he formed to proceed to the
cemetery. This would give the men-
hers who desired to attend funeral
OF tl.is nature. which would be held
from the residence of the deceased,
and war. no accommodations Indoors
could be made for Il large numhet,
opportunity to assemble at the resi-
dence gust previous to goin to the
cemetery. Thus. the danger of stand
ing outside in all sorts of weather
would be done away with.
The idea of the instigators of the
movement is to have some common
poirt of disbanding where more than
one order attends the funeral OF a
member For instance, if one lOdS"
representation should only so part way
tC a cemetery and another should 90
the whole distance, outsiders would
naturally conclude that the one re-
spectcd the memory of the deceased
more than the other This could be
avoided by having a boundary fixed
as was suggested at the meeting, viz:
Locust street on the South: HoNells
street on the North; Keysar avenue
on tha West and the river on the East.
This would hold good for interments
made ut points outside of the limits
mentioned
The meeting was adjourned to meet
again on or about January -. 1898,
after the idea has been submitted to
all the lodges located on this side,
nearly every one of which was repre-.
seuted at the session held Saturday
evening.

BOY TRAGEDIAN POUTS.

The matter did not warrant any caustic
reflection I'm the first place, and If this
infantile prodigy thinks items in these
columns are printed merely to please him,
his brains must be as added and as
sleepy as his items. Words taken from n
twelvc-linc editorial written by the boy
tragedian.
We suspected many a time and oft
that this intellectual giant did not al
ways know Whac his pen was doing,
but we hardly expected such candid
admission from him on this point. If
a little well meaning advice will be
taken in the spirit in which it is in
tended, we would urge him to stop
juggling with words when he knows
not what they mean. True, his read
crs are often at sea as to Just what
he intends to say, but he is not the
only luminous literary light who has
had that experience. It's when we re-
alize that he cannot interpret his own
handiwOrk that sadness Overtakes us.
AS to the soporiiic quality of the
items that find their way into this
column. he should be the last to COM
plain. They are quite live enough for
him to rewrite to the extent of several
columns a week anywhere from a day
to A week after they are printed in
The Tribune. In proof of this state
ment we direct his attention to the
leading item in his department Satur-
daS,
