MAsoNS AT OUTS.
Question of Admitting Negro Mem
bers to Full Membership the
Cause.

NEW YORK, May AIT the session
of the Masonic grand lodge Of the
state of New York, the grand master
expressed regret that the grand lodge
of the state Of Washington had not re-
stored its edict of non-intercourse with
the grand lodge Of Hamburg. There
has been considerable correspondence
over the matter. In his report today
the grand master says:
The grand lodge of Washington not
only declares that any lodge Of its obe-
dience may admit as a visitor, or afIll-
late, a negro claiming to have been a
Mason in the city of New York in a
negro lodge, notwithstanding that he
is not Free Mason within the state of
New York, but also declares that a
member Of Pythagoras lodge, so-called,
in the city of New York, may be re-
ceived with open arms by any lodge
within the juricdiction of the state Of
Washington.
The grand lodge of New York can
not by any act appear to acquiesce in
such doctrines, but being genuinely
deslrous that the cordial relations pre-
viOusly existing between the jurisdic-
tions shall continue and believing that
a severance Of fraternal relations
should be resorted to only as an ex-
treme measure, have refrained from
issuing an edict of non-intercourse.' -

BETwETN LOVE AND DUTY.
An Actor Plays His Part While His
Wife Is Dying, Rather Than
Ruin His Employers.

CHICAGO. May s.-While his wife
lay dying in hospital. Robert Wayne,
leading man of a stock company
now playing in this city, was compell-
ed, through unavoidable stress Of busi-
ness, to play his role of the young
lieutenant in the drama Dewey. the
Hero OF Manila" The audience little
suspected that the gaity and the
sprightliness OF his portrayal OF the
character Of the romantic officer. were
but the mask OF a grief that threat
ened to drive the actors lines from
his memory and disorganize the pre-
sentation of the first production Of the
play in Chicago.
When Wayne entered his dressing
room and began making up for his
part in the nights performance. he
took with him the knowledge that
there was little hope for his wife's
recovery. since she had undergone a
serious operation. Just before the cur
tain rang up the word came that she
would probably die before morning.
The actor. unnerved by the news, was
called upon TO face the problem of
leaving and running the performance.
there being no understudy ready to
take his part, or stay and play it.
Between his appearances on the
stage in the melodrama, Wayne was
at a telephone, keeping in touch with
the news from the hospital Of his
wife's condition. Several times the
call boy had to lead the excited and
anxious actor back to the wings and
fairly push him upon the stage.
At the conclusion of the performance
Wayne hardly stopped to alter his
makeup before he was speeding to the
hospital. He found his wife so weak
that she was unable to speak and
scarcely recognized him.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, or about
four hours after Wayne had reached
the hospital. his wife died.
Mrs. Wayne Joined the company last
fall. She played the role Of Nero's
wife. Poppae, in "Quo Vadis."

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DEAL.
Standard OH Captures Big Block OF
Missouri Pacific Stock-Devel-
opments Expected.

NEW YORK, May At is said on
good authority that it is William
Rockefeller, and not John D. Rock
efeller, who is soon to enter the board
OF directors of the Missouri Pacific
Railway Company, of the stock of
which corporation the Rockefeller in
terests have recently been heavy pur-
chasers, and it is atso understood that
one of the two stockholding interests"
referred to by President Gould, in his
statement Monday, as having sub
scribed for $l2,OO0,OO0 Of the bonds at
par and interest. consisted of William
Rockefeller and associates of his in the
Standard OIL Company, the other being
President Gould.
Russell Sage, who is director of the
Missouri Pacific railway, said, in an
swer to a question, that the directors
had on Monday arranged to meet again
Wednesday.
''Win the Rockefeller interests be
represented in the board?" Mr.. Sage
was asked.
"oh. certainly. That would natur-
ally follow" he answered. We will
give them representation. of course"
Asked as TO the prospect of divi-
dend being declared soon, Sage an
swered: Il don't care to talk about
that at present. Let's wait until we
are little better acquainted"
The issue of new bonds up to s12.-
100000 will decrease the company's
interest charges and the proceeds of
S1,761,0O0 of the new bonds, which are
to be used for the reimbursement in
come applied to capital expenditures
and investments" may indicate that
the net earnings. which have been put
into the property, are to be taken back
by the bonds named and applied to div
idends on the stock. Developments in
Missouri Pacific viii affect all the
Southwestern roads. and the present
tendency of the stock of Missouri Pa
cific doubtless foreshadows a concen-
tration of a central policy among all
the roads in the Southwest.
