Is the Oldest Initiated Lone StaI
Free Mason.
JOINED OVER SIXTY YEARS AGO
Oldest Tex as Made Mason.

A"hNt JSSL NoulJ w ubSOh IL "iiN
Texas Free Mason gives the fol
lowing sketch of a we'll known
citizen of Texas:
The oldest living Texas made
Free Mason is Frank X. Lubbock,
who was made member of the
order in Holland lodge No. 36
(now Holland lodge No. l in the
city of Houston in December,
1887. He was initiated Dec. 2,
passed Dec. 6 and raised Dec. %.
He is still a member of Holland
lodge No. l, and is the only Free
Mason now living who was a
member of Texas lodge at the
organization of the grand lodge
of Texas, for which purpose a
convention of the three lodges
then chartered by the grand lodge
of Louisiana was held on Dec
20, 1887, at Houston, and had for
its president Gen. Sam Houston
and for its secretary DR.. Arson
Jones, the worshipful master of
Holland lodge No. SO. The CON
lvention elected DR.. Arson Jones
first grand master of Masons in
Texas and G. II. Winchell first
grand secretary. Francis r.
Lubbock was then fellow craft
Mason.
The next meeting of the grand
lodge was held April Is, 1898, at
which time Brother Lubbock was
made a master Mason. His name
appears in the minutes of Hol-
land lodge as an active member
among that noble band of Jealous
Masons whose earnest efforts re-
suited in the establishment of
Masonry early in the history of
our great state.
Brother Lubbock was born at
Beaufort, S. c., Oct. 16, 1915, and
moved to New Orleans in 1884.
In October, 1886, he came to this
state, then a republic, landing at
Velasco.
He has held many positions of
public trust. He was assistant
clerk at the extra session of first
Texas congress at Houston; was
chief clerk Of the house of rep
resentatives at the regular ses-
sion, and while acting as such
he was appointed comptroller by
President Houston during his
second term. He resigned the
comptroller's office on account of
being elected district clerk of
Harris county, which office he
held for sixteen years, when he
resigned and was elected lieuten-
ant governor on the Democratic
ticket in 1857. He was secretary
of the first Democratic conven-
ton held in Texas, was a delegate
to the Charleston convention in
1860 and was temporary chairman
of the Democratic convention at
Richmond. He was elected gov
ernor of Texas in 1861; was city
tax collector of Galveston three
terms. Was elected state treas
urer in 1878 and served six terms,
declined to become a candidate
for reelection, and was president
of the board of pardons during
Gov. Hogg's two terms.
He is now engaged in preparing
his Memoirs of Six Decades"
At the close of his term as
governor Mr.. Lubbock entered
the Confederate States army as
assistant adiutant general with
the rank of lieutenant colonel.
While in the field in Louisiana in
1854 he was appointed on Presi-
dent Davis staff with the rank

A GREAT YIELD.
Ncbrnslsn's Corn Crop for 1890 AE-
Ercgntcs 311.12j.O33 Bushels,
Exceeding All Records.

Omaha, Ncb., Oct. 25.--The annual
crop review of the Bee, compiled from
reports of special correspondents in
every county in t he state, shows that the
corn crop of 1899 exceeds the record of
the best previous year by 14,217,24O
bushels. Previous to 1899 the greatest
corn crop was two years ago. The fig
urcs show that the corn crop of 1899
reaches the enormous figure of 244,-
125,O03 bushels. The average yield per
acre is 34.5 bushels, and the quality of
the crop is excellent except in very
limited portions of the state where hot
weather in August damaged it some
what. The same hot spell cut down
the total yield from the earlier esti-
mates. The crop is not only the largest,
but taken as whole, is of as good quail
ity as any ever raised in the state. The
total of the wheat yield is below that
of the last two previous years. This is
due TO the damage to the plant during
the winter in the winter wheat district.
The quality Of the grain in this dis
trict is not first -class

Hitting the Nail on the Head.

If you find man who travels to
heavcn-or fancics he is on the way
thither--at other peoples expense, who
pays little or nothing toward the sup
port OF religion in his parish, he is sure
to be an opponent Of bazaars and to be
loudmouthed in his dcnunciation OF
them. And it is owing to him and the
likes OF him that bazaars become ncccs-
'sary. II man pays nothing to the
Church he has no right to sit in judg-
ment on its method of getting support.
To use an ancient and honorable phrase
he should either put up or shut up.
The fact OF the matter is that bazaars
are necessary. And they are necessary
because so many people will not pay
their just debts to the Church. We
have scarcely ever heard priest speak
in favor OF holding bazaars. And why
should he? A bazaar means great
deal OF disagreeable work for him. 1t
means placing burden on the very
best people in his parish And it does
not always contribute to the n1ainte-
nance OF Christ and charity. But money
must be collected in some lawful way,
and the holding OF bazaar is the last
resort 1t is not the priests fault, but
that OF the non-contributing critics who
do not pay even for the privilege Of
making themselves nuisance.
Is there a parish in which niggardly
souls do not try to evade their fair pro-
portion OF the common burden through
the subteriuge Of Kicking? If it is a
fair, they don't approve of fairs and
won't give anything. If it is a picnic,
they don't believe in picnics and not
only won't go, but won't even buy a
ticket. For these barren minds lectures
are too dry. card parties too frivolous,
and nothing just right. They delude
themselves into believing that under the
cloak Of disapprobation they hide their
miserliness. but no one is deceived. The
Church will be supported and get along
without the help of these narrow minds.
And when the time comes to render an
account of their stewardship, it will be
a time of woe.

resolutions, one censuring the general
government and the president, Attor-

nouncing the war in the Philippines.
The opposition to the passage of the

by Mrs. Mary II. Hunt, of Massachu-
sets, who lost son in the Philippines,
while the pro-resolutiou forces were
led by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri,
and Mrs. X. L. Stevenson. of Massa-
chusetts. The resolutions were as fol-
lows:
1--WE rejoice that the last year of the nine
teenth century witnessed the first interna-
t1onal peace congress. and hail the fact as
glad omen that during the century upon
which we are Just entering international
arbitration will be the only recognized
method for the settlement of international

their just powers only from the consent of
the governed, we protest against a policy

We protest against the manifestly
forced and unjust Interpretation of the

 The exercises vary each afternoon, and so supple and 1.-the are many of the young wo- men in the class that their muscles are well in tune with the rhythmic music that was like a familiar melody heard in a comic opera. The young women in the classes wear a costume of blue flannel, the rcgula- ton gymnasium suit, not unlike those worn a the natatorum and they therefore have no difficulty in swinging Indian clubs over their pretty heads, which they do in the most energetic manner.
 The bell tapped and in a moment the class formed, heads erect, chests expanded and with word from the training master, they went through a charming little drill, and twired Indian clubs dexterously that no wonder they stopped for long breath, while the rich color famed in their cheeks.
 The wand drills. the free movements, the special developing exercises, were executed gracefully that the vigorous work that they entaied was lost sight of in the beau tiful art of athletics. Just as the graceful art of workmanship absorbs the miracles of the movements. so does the work in other athletic lines reveal the beauty of supple ness and grace quite as much as it is a test of muscular strength.
