SECRET ORDERS
Mr.. MCKINLEY's INDUCTION INTO
MASONRY.

VI
President Mckinley was made a Mas
ter Mason, invited him to visit the CIT.
as a guest of the lodge, promising I!
receive and entertain HIM with iul
honorS. Abner Wallahan, membe
of the lodge, gives an interesting &C
count OF the manner IN which the freSl
dent became attached to the Frater
nifty. 1t was in the spring OF 1865, a
the close of the war, when Mchln
lev was stationed at Winchester. Ht
was going through the hospital IN com
pany with the Surgeon in charge, wheT
he noticed that the Surgeon was klnC
to some wounded confederate PRISON
ers. After tenderly dressing thell
wounds the Surgeon gave the conted
crates some money that they might
procure something which was needed
for their comfort. Mr.. Mckinley queS-
toned the Surgeon as to reason foi
his kindness TO the CaptReS, and was
told that it was because they were
brother MaSons. The young soldier
was so much impressed with the Incl
dent that he expressed wish TO join
the fraternity. And a special dlSpen-
Sation being obtained for the purpose !;
he was initiated, passed and raised TO
the sublime degree of a Master Mason
in the Winchester Lodge.-Ft-oW tie
