diminished membership. Mr. Mitchell,
who has been the G. X. r. continuously

longer. He has been favored politically
by the people of York county, having
been twice sent as representative to
the Legislature from the lively town OF
Kittery, in 1891 and '93. In 1895 he
was senator from York. He is very
popular and well known throughout
the State. He is Of an especially jovial

"Is it of your own free will and

portant questions. The first one
clearly teaches that all who knock
at the door OF Freemasonry do so of
their own will. A free will, no coax

the anxiety for making showing of
large amount of work done, to
break records, to get the fees, to
build up a strong lodge, many Mas

the bounds and solicit candidates.
That this is being done and has been
done, needs no denial, and this over
zeal has not only been broken down
the first fundamental principle OF
our fraternity, but has gone to a
more dangerous position, that Of
admitting men who cannot bear the
query: ''Is he worthy and well

How Soon We are Forgotten.

o, how soon we are forgotten
When we rest beneath the sod,
And our feet no lodger wander
Der the paths we oft have trod;
" hen the form that was SO cherished
With love both pure and deep.
Lies within the earth's dark bosom,
In its long, last, quiet sleep.
For few brief days il may be,
Had we home and kindred dear;
When they meet around the hearthstone
There will be a lack of cheer,
As vacant seat will tell them
OF affections broken ties,
And their thoughts pcrchancs will wander
Where the dreamless sleeper lies.
But should stern fate deprive us
OF bright and cheerful home,
And a wearihess of spirit
Der hfe's rugged way we roam,
When the golden bowl is broken,
And the lone one finds rest
Twill excite no dread commotioD
In one pal Apitating breast.
Yet tits we'll that thus it should be,
In life's bref revolving years,
Else this wJrld of budding beauties
Would become a vale of tears;
When the soul attuned to sadness,
! Aud by sorrow overcast,
Would enshrine the brightest future
With sad mem'ries of the past.

Masonic Lodges, Chapters, Councils
aud Communicates, and it is safe TO
say that not one out OF twenty who
hear it can tell what it means with
out the assistance of Masonic en-.
cyclopedia. Here is the explanation.
In the old operative Lodges of Ma
sons, all those who were not affiliat.
ed members, aud who followed the
trade of "stouesquarers," without
serving a legal apprenticeship, were
termed 'Cowans." La fact, it is the
echo of the old conflict between cr-

the former of which, it must be al

craftsman, who was either rejected
or had refused to join the Lodge.
1t is evident that the ancient
builders were Jealous of each other
aud the possibility Of surreptiously
purloining the designs, plans or nov
elites in building, was ever present
with all. When one takes into con
sideration the mighty chances OF
ancient times, the architecture of the
present age seems to dwindle into
insignifcauce. The drauehtsmen oi
Egypt, Assyria, Chaldea, Persia aud
Ph@nicia, were certainly giants in
intellect and scholary advancement
The world to day possesses nothing
TO compare with the old in sublmitN

ancient masters. Hence, it WI b,

The 'cowan and eavesdropper

to be initiated. The same system
has come down to the present da
aud will continue as long as biai

MAUPIN DISCHARGED.
City Attorney Brown Said the Facts
Had Been nisrepresented.

On Thursday last W. H. Maupin was
arrested on complaint sworn to by
Barbara Bruder, charging him with
having stolen 81 from her. The COM
plainant conducts an employment agen-
cy on Ninth street
The case was called in the Police
Court yesterday morning, and the
prosecuting witness admitted that a
tacit agreement had been made between
her and Maupin to the effect that the
latter should work for her for that day
taking one-half the proceeds, with the
understanding that if the business was
what she represented it to be, he would
buy her out. After the days work
had been done he took for his share of
the proceeds 81. The woman admitted
that 81 90 had been taken in, but
claimed that 81 of the amount was an
old debt which had been paid in dur
ing the day.
City Attorney Brown said he believed
the prosecuting witness was in con-
tempt of court, in that she had misrep-
resented the facts to him when she
asked for the complaint. She had trified
with the court and had he known
the facts he would have refused to is
sue complaint. He asked that the
defendant be discharged. The defen-
dant was discharged accordingly.
