THE EXECUTION OF DURRANT.
Believed that tho Governor will Decline
to Interfere.

San Francisco, Cal. April 22.-Many
intimations are made that the execution
of Theodore Durrant, the convicted muir
derer of Blanche Lamont, will never take
place. Two of the state board of prison
directors in interviews have said they
think Durrant should not be hanged; two
others favor his execution and the fifth
is noncommittal. The governor declines
to say how he will act when the petition
for clemency is presented to him., but
many of his confidential friends state that
the governor has privately expressed his
belief in Durrant's guilt. They consider
It improbable that there, will be any ex-
ecutive interference with the death SEN

olive branch Lodge At Divine service.

olive Branch Lodge az Divine service.
A number of members of Olive
Branch Lodge, No. 10, attended Di-
vine Service in old st. Peters Church,
on the evening of Thursday last, S.
John Baptists' Day, TO offera service
of praise to Almighty God, and to
hear the sermon OF the Rector, who
has been for two years past the Lodge
Chaplain. The service was beautiful
Nv rendered by the Vested choir,
assisted by Miss Caffrav who render
ed. with much taste and in sympathet-
ic voice, devotional solo at the
offertory. The offerings were given
to the lodge for use in charity.
The Chaplain's sermon was from
Exodus 27:f5 ssTheir pillars three, and
their sockets three and was q mas
terly address in illustration Of
Masonic truth and teaching. Al
though its sentences, and symbolism
could of necessity be understood only
by Masons, and by those only VINO
keep up the study Of Masonic stand
ards, still all present heartily appre-
ciated the lessons taught from the
three symbolic supports and the
second entrance pillars The sermon
closed with beautiful description OF
Masonry at ths battle OF Monmouth,
and during the Civil war. Among
other things it contained keen and
sarcastic rebuke of some opposers Of
Masonry who ignorantly speak OF 1T
and Judge of it from the outside; and
who have not the reInotest idea OF
what it is in reality. The Craft were
urgently advised to be most careful,
strict, and select in the admission of
10
initiation and to studiously prevent
the approval of would be-initiates
who did not demonstrate the highest,
truest. motives for wishing to become
members of the Fraternity.
1t would be better, the editor of
rhis paper. ventures to think, If this
annual Masonic service was held on
a Sunday evening. The Feast Of st.
John Baptist, it is true, falls on Sun
day only once in seven years, but it
might be virtually if not literally kept
by Masons at church on the Sunday
within it's octave. In that case the
attendance, both of Masons and OF
the general public, would be larger;
and the painstaking study OF the
Chaplain to give an address worthy
of the occasion would he more greatly
appreciated Olive Branch Lodge is
very fortunate in having to-day, as
she has had in the past, members who
are so highly capable of representing
her on public occasions, and it is not
the least of her advantages that she is
able to claim the services of Chap
lain who is Clergyman, and who
has made Masonic principles study
as member of not only the Blue
Lodge, but also of Royal Arch
Chapter, and a Knight Templar Com
mandery.

promised to the people Of the United
States By the new Administration.
It was claimed that the first thing
necessary to prosperity was a re-
modelling of tie tariff laws of the
country, and that in such remodel
ing every Interest of commercial en-
terprIse would be fostered and pro-
NOTED. The people were led to be-
iIeye that the power Of capital. the
wishes Of individuals and Of private
iaterests, would give way to the
general good
The fidelity with which this Con-
gress Is carrying out these laudaBle
promises is placed before us in the
bill under consideration 1t is un-
necessary for me to go through it's long
schedules, but If all of them bear the
same impress as does the item relat-
ing to hides, then have no hesita-
tion 10 saying that the bill is not in
the interest Of the whole people, is
not to foster and promote the indus
tries Of the country aud to place them
in such position that they may be
able to compete in the markets OF
the world, and by that competition
to break the bonds Of the gigantic
trusts of the country that have al
ton of every American workman to-
become a master in his art, which
ambition, above ali else, made the
prosperity Of the past.
