A Gala Day an English Mas l onry.
 LONDON, Nov. s. The Prince of
 Wales, as Grand Master of English
 FreemssonRy, has designated the Earl
 of Lsthom, deputy Grand Master, to
 represent him sb the Great Masonic
 conclave which is to be held in St.
 Paul's Cathedral on the first Thursday in D December when the 2OO6h snniveF- saFy of the re-opening afsershe rest or stion of that historic structure will be l celebrated. According to the original
 plans it had been intended that the Grand Lodge, with the Prince of Wales st it's head, should walk in procession to the Cathedral from the Free Mssons'
 Hall on Great Quesn Street, but this innovation, which would have attracted throng equal to that of Lord Mayors Day has been changed as a result of She Court going into mourning for the Duchess Of Teck. Outside of the eb- ,sencs of the Prince, however, the ss- sem blsge will be shorn of none of the brilliant features which surround Ma sonic celebrations. Every lodge in the United Kingdom will send delegation. Admission will be by ticket and these will be issued to Free Masons only. Not solitary exception will be made to this ruls. The service will be fully choral, every one of the twenty. five participating priest will be Mssons and the Bishop of London, himself 8 Past Massor, will preach tine sermon. The Masonic color given to the celebration of St. Paul's bi-centensry is based upon she tradition that the architecture of the structure, Sir Christopher Wren, was Master of the Lodge of Antiquities, she oldest Masonic Lodge in England, and which, during the building of the Cathedral, held it's meetings at an hes telry in the ohurch-yaRd. IL is also part of the tradition that every work man employed upou the great struo- ture from its inception to it's final com- pletion and from the chief superinten- dent down to the humblest bod carrier, was 6 member of the Masonic order.

 The great Republican city of Brook lyn politically eliminated from the map.
 All that has been done for the public good ia this city in the last three years undone.
 The entire metropolis, with more than 3,000,OO0 population delivered into the hands of Tammany Hall for the next four years.
 All the machinery and influence and patronage of this metropolis turned over to the Democratic party, for it's aid and comfort in the next State and National elections.
 Such are the fruits of MT. Platt'e leadership" of the party, in one brief 60 days campaign. How do the Rspo bli- cans ot this city, of the State and of the Nation like it?".

 A letter to Prof. J. Curtis Wssson, of the high school from the Dr. states that he will arrive in the city November 18th and will give his lecture on "Ths Importance of Scientific Research and Need of Educational Reform" on Mon- day night, November 15bh.
 Dr. See halls from the University of Berlin and his scientific reputation in Europe has preceeded him to the Amer ican continent.
 His researches have been especially exhaustive in the line of Binary stars, through which be hopes to prove ss @ faot the Nswtoman theory of the uni versatslity of gravitation-
 His opinions st firss met with most violent opposition in Europe and were ignored in America, but as his re- searches continue he is constantly be- ing reinforced by the leaders in she realm of astronomy until now 1t seems to be only matter of time until all the ''pst theories" held by She scholsstics of she old school will be discarded and his law of the eccentricities of Binary orbits will triumph, and thus the "g7svisstion theory" will be proved to govern all systems.
 Through the kindness of the Board of Trustees the auditorium of She First M. B. church has been secured and it is hoped that our ctizsns will crowd the edifice to the doors.
 Mrs. Shirley Christy will render an excellent selection on the new pipe organ and the Philharmonic Club will furnish male qusrtette.
 The lecture is free, beginning at 7:30 sharp.
