taries of the District of Columbia, as well as

supreme national organization, whereas
Masonic orders in the different states are
entirely Independent of one another. though

Knights Templar, they should be brought
under one supreme head.

that encounter. He Is a member of q
branch Of the order established in Indian
territory, to which he laughinSly invited all
to be present at the next meeting.
The usual work of the order was supple
mented by the working of the degree of
the floral adderda,'' of which the chapter
gave an excellent exemplification, which
deserved the highest encomiums from those
present. 1t is the only chapter that works
that degree in this jurisdiction. A recita-
ton entitled THE Eastern Star" was given
by Mrs. Ida NJ. Frey, and a song, "The
Star of My Heart" rendered by Miss
