ARMY BILL.
The House Committee Agrees to the
Senate Measure.

WASHINGTON, March 1. - The
House Military Committee has agreed
to accept the Senate army. bill without
amendment. Great interest was mani
tested in the meeting of the House Mil
itary Committee, as the committee felt
a complete acceptance of the Senate
bill largely, if not entirely, removed the
chance of an extra session. The ses-
sion Of the committee was very spirit
ed, and at one point Representative
Marsh of Illinois withdrew, on the
ground that the course of the commit
tee in adopting an amendment would
open up the whole controversy and pre-.
cipitate an extra session. After his
withdrawal the amendment was recon-
sidered. The final vote on agreeing to
the Senate bill was 10 to 3. Three
Democrats, Sulzer, Cox and Jet, voted
with seven Republicans in the affirma-
tive. Two Democrats LentZ and Hay,
and one Republican, BrownloW, voted
in the negative.

MASONIC HOME.
The Structure at Dacota is Ready
for Occupancy.

SAN FEANCISCO, March To-day
is one OF special interest to the Ma
sonic fraternity of California. for the
Masonic Home at Decoto, Alameda
County, a handsome three-story brick
and stone building, was opened this
morning for the reception of the Wild
ows and orphans of Masons, as we'll as
the feeble members of this great or
ganiZation.
The event was not characterized with
either formal display or elaborateness.
When the appointed hour came the
Directors of the home assembled in the
parlors of the institution, and after
/ welcoming DR.. l. R. Aiken, the elected
superintendent, and Mrs Aiken, who
will act in the capacity of Matron, they
proceeded in a body on visit of in
spection to all parts of the building,
which was found to be complete in
every detail.
DR.. Aiken, who was chosen for the
position of Superintendent at the last
meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the Masonic Home, is a native of
Michigan, and he was educated in the
East and in California. His wife and
assistant in the work is a, native of this
State. and was a pupil at the Univer-
sity of the Pacific.
1t was in 1891 that the first steps
toward the establishment of the Ma
sonic Home We're taken by the Grand
Lodge of California, after which plans
for the carrying out of the suggestion
quickly matured.
A site was first procured at Decoto,
and 260 acres of land We're purchased.
Several years later on October IA, 1885,
the corner stone of the present build
ing was laid with demonstrative cere-
mony, but the organization found it
self unable to complete the work, ow-
ing to the lack of funds.
1t was then that the great Masonic
| festival was planned and in May. 1893,
it was held at the Mechanics Pavilion,
and resulted in a great financial benefit
| to the order.
| When the Grand Lodge of California
convened in the session of 1898 the
structure was dedicated.
