THE PROCESSION MOVES.
Washington MasOns In Line at an
Early Hour.

The pilgrimage to Mount Vernon started
shortly before o'clock from the corner of
14th street and Pennsylvania avenue The
grand marshal named o'clock as the hour
for assembling, but at that hour few men
were on hand. Many came without their
breakfasts and took chances at the dairy
lunch rooms in the neighborhood.
Grand Marshal Robert White of West
Virginia remained in <ie city over night
and was among the first to arrive He
busted himself with perfecting arrange
ments, and when the large body of Masons
arrived everything was ready. The COM
fort of the local Masons was looked after
by W. S. Knox and Frank *. Raymond.
The chilly morning drove many indoors,
and it was nearly haf-past s O'Clock when
Assistant Aid Harry Stamford mounted a
chair in the corridor of the Ebbitt House
and gave directions to form. The local
Masons assembled on 14th street between
Pennsylvania avenue and F streets, facing
east, while the visiting brethren occupied
the other side of the street, facing west.
When the bugie sounded Forward, march,"
the procession, headed by detachment of
police, with the grand marshal and his aids
In front, started.
The Third Cavalry Band furnished the
music for the first division. First came the
Master Masons of the District of Columbia,
and there were 56S of them, comprising
some of the bestknown citizens of the cap
ital. They were followed by the visiting
Masons, to the number Of about $50. Fol-
lowing came Federal Lodge, the Oldest in
the District and the lodge which partici-
pated in the funeral of George Washing
ton, Worshipfui Master H. B. Mason wear
ing the apron of his rank, the Identical one
used by the worshipful master 100 years
ago. Federal Lodge turned out 105 men.
The lodge was in charge Of Assistant Aids
w. s. Knox and Frank X. Raymond. w.
r. Shield. past master Of the lodge, was
marshal and kept the line straight.
Then came the line Of carriages, and 1t
was a long one, containing the grand mas
tiers and all representatives Of grand lodges
Of jurisdictions outside the District Of Co
lumbia- The officers Of the Grand Lodge
of the District of Columbia came next. and
in this order the procession moved down
Pennsylvania avenue to 7th street and
down that street to the wharf OF the

FIFTEEN CENTS PAID
Rudolph Molt Gets the Top Price
SO Far This Season for His
Wool.
THE MARKET is STRONG
Several Offers of Fourteen Cents Have
Been Refllsed-WOOl Com
ing in Slowly.

The wool market has been very quiet
since our last report, but one sale hav-
ing been consummated since then. The
price paid was the highest so far re.
ported and has given wool owners an
incentive for better offers from buyers.
The clips are coming in very slowly,
outside of the Wyoming wool there be-
ing no complete clips Oh the market.
Several offers Of IA cents have been
made for wool on the sleeps backs,
but were refused by the owners, who
believe they will receive better price
by waiting short time. The top
notch SO far was reached Saturday,
when Rudolph Molt sold his clip Of co..
600 pounds at 10 cents, less the tare, to
Silberman Bros. Of Chicago, through J.
G. Guthrie. This is the same clip that
Mr.. Molt consigned last year and is of
a fine medium grade. The wool is be-.
ing sheared on Blue creek. where it
was examined Saturday by Mr. Guthrie.
There are apparently good prices
ahead for owners Of wool, according to
the following taken from the Boston
Wool and Cotton Reporter:
There is no mistaking the strength Of
the wool market, and it looks very
much as though manufacturers would
be obliged to pay considerably higher
prices than they have been accustomed
to in the past few months. Manufac.
turers naturally fight the advance. 1t
is evidently hard for them to get accus.
toned to the idea Of rising values for
WOOL Some Of them, however, recog.
nizing the inevitable, have gracefully
yielded thereto, and have bought some
good sized lines of territories. for which
they have paid prices equivalent to
45@47c, clean, for fine and fine med
ium clothing, and so cents for fine
staple territory. Pulled woods also
have been conspicuously active and
strong.

ing gold crowns and other similar
articles while fling and polishing

devices have been issued, but none Of
the crown holders are eqaal to the one
patented by DR.. Allen; this fact is con.
oeded by members Of the profession
who have examined the new device.
The article Ia indispensable to the
dental profession and the young doctor
is to be congratulated upon his inven.
tion.
DR., Allen has made arrangements for
having his crown holder manufactured
and will soon place IT upon the market

THE LAUREL BRIDGE.
Commissioners Call for Bids for Its Prob
able Erection.

| hDle IATeCt1On.
The county commissioners, in regu.
lar session last week, instructed the
county clerk to advertise for bids for
construction of n four.span Howe truss
wagon bridge, the bids to be opened OF,
August IL, 1899.
The above pertains to the bridge pc
titiOned for to be erected across the
Yellowstone river near Laurel The
proposition was voted upon three years
ago and received majority of votes
cast on the proposition, but, according
to the attorney general, did not carry
because it did not receive majority Of
the votes cast at the election. 1t is a
bridge greatly needed by the people Of
Laurel and vicinity and they have kept
the matter fresh from time to time.
The county commissioners of Carbon
county have been petitioned to meet
with the commissioners Of this county,
but refused to do so, and therefore the
latter have decided to see if they cannot
20 it alone. The county commissioners
of this county favor the construction of
the bridge and their object in advertis-
ing for bids is to see if it can be con-
structed within the limit allowed by
law, which is $4,000, without taking
a vote on the proposition. OF course,
future action by the commissioners will
be contingent upon the limit of the
bids. The matter will be closely
watched by Laurel people, who are
deeply interested in it.
