The Masonic Grand Lodge OF Kentucky was or
ganized in 1900. Previous to that time the few
lodges in Kentucky were under the jurisdiction
OF the Grand Lodge of Virginia.
The Grand Lodge will celebrate its one hun
dredth anniversary in October next by the en-
dowment of 8 5000 for home for aged and in
digent widows.
The fist lodge chartered here was Maysville
Lodge No. 26, which held its meetings on Market
street near the corner of Front street. Its records
having been destroyed by fire. am unable to
give the date of its charter or how long 1t con-
tinued to work, have heard that Captain VIM.
Tinker, an old steamboat man, was its first Mas
ter. For some cause unknown to me the charter
was surrendered, date unknown
On the eighteenth day of October, 1918, the
Grand Lodge issued a charter to Confidence
Lodge No. SO, and in 1856 another lodge was
chartered here, Mason Lodge No. 3i2 These two
lodges continued to work handsomely together
until one year ago, when at an unanimous re-
quest of each, they were consolidated by order OF
the Grand Lodge, under the name of Maysville
Lodge No. g.

Several years ago in the village of Til
ton, amid the hills and by the streams of
Fleming County, there was born and
there played a barefoot boy whose win
some face and CHEEKY mien, clothed in
rugged county ways, drew the inhabitants
to speak kindly word whenever he APP
preached; his goodness too unlocked the
door OF sterner hearts and thus was
opened the way wherein he began to
carve his plans to happiness and success.
Made janitor of the country church, he
chopped the wood, cleaned the benches
and made the obscure lights to shine
which perforce drew men and women to
the house of God, all for which he was
paid the munifcent sum of % cents
a week. Trudging too and fro, ever
song upon his lips, ever light OF happi-
ness in his eyes, he did his humble work
in the fear of God and to the comfort of
mana first inspiration which lead him
step by step to a position OF trust, conf
dence and respect only enjoyed by those
who deal justly, love mercy and walk
humbly. In presenting this brief sketch
of Mr.. John Duley, the head and guide
of the Board OF Trade, the writer is en-
barrased at the outset, not for lack of

WAS A SAVAGE ASSAULT.
MRS. PAUL. WHITE THD VICTIM OF
INSULT AND ATTEMPTED
ROBBERY
Ex-CONvICT HER AssAILANT
Victim Waaa Confined to Her Bed,
SuHeringa Frum the Effects
of a 4Rain of
Blows.

According to- Mrs Paul White, living
IN the Rearoon block. Seventh and Min
nesota streets9}she; was the victim Satur-
day evening Of shameless insults, savage
assault and an attempted highway rob-
berry at the hands of 'Micky' Lynch, q
ourly ex-convict whom the police cap
tured almost redhanded. AS the result
or Lynch's alleged brutal treatment Mrs.
White was confined to her bed yester-
day. suffering from painful decorations
about the mouth and from the effects of
rain of savage blows which she says
were administered by Lynch. Her face
is badly swollen, one eye being discolored,
and she is in state bordering on nervous
collapse. The only charge as yet lodged
against Lynch is that of assault and bat
terry.
The attack upon Mrs. White took place
at the Seventh street entrance of her
home. She had been shopping with her
husband. who left her at Seventh and
Cedar streets to go into q cigar store.
AS Mrs. White walked down Seventh
street she says q man made grossly In
sulting remarks to her. She repulsed the
fellow, she says, and continued toward
her home. Mrs. White says the man fol-
lowed her and grabbed her as she opened
the hallway door. She says she broke
away from the man and ran into the
hallway, when he pursued her and threw
bis arms about her neck, demanding that
she go with him. Then ensued a strug-
gle, during which Mrs White says Lynch
tried to snatch her purse, which con-
tained $l2. Mrs. White clung to the purse
and tried to free herself, when she says
Lynch becamea enraged and struck her a
fierce blow in the face. The blow knock
ed Mrs. White down, but she managed to
regain her feet and tried to run up
stairs. She says Lynch caught her and
dragged her back. again striking her in
the face. Mrs.I White says Lynch struck
her at least i've times until she finally
became unconscious and dropped to the
floor. AT this junCture a couple Of cit
izens discovered the struggle going on
in the hallway and notified officer Pat
Smith. who stood on the corner. The po-
liceman ran to- the scene and was just in
time to capture Lynch as the latter was
leaving the hail.
Both Mr. and Mrs. White say they
never saw Lynch before the assault. Mr..
White is employed at Swift & Co.'S South
st. Paul plant, as is also his wife, who
works beside him. The couple are given
an excellent reputation by those about
the block. Mr.. White characterizes the
attack upon his wife as most unjustif1a-
BILE outrage, and declares that had he
reached the scene before Lynch was taken
away he would have killed his wifes as

LITTLE LOWER THAN GOD
MANS TRUE PLACE ACCORDING TO
REV. ALEX NI,GREGOR.

Rev. Alexander MCGregOr, of the Park
Congregational church, spoke to men only
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the
Y. NJ c. A There was quite large at
tendance. Rev. McGregor's text was
from the eighth Psalm, ''What IS man
that thou art mindful of him, and the
son of man that thou Visiteth him?"
The central thought throughout the dis
course was that man was capable OF do
ing all things to elevate his personality
end that should he neglect to do so he
alone would be to blame. Of late years
1t had become a habit of the world to
minimize man. The old opinion that man
was great being had been dispelled in
the minds of many people. At one time
in the distant past 1t had been far easier
to form a conception of his greatness,
That was when the world was more igno-
rant of science, when mans range OF
view was limited and his social horizon
smaller.
But, nevertheless, there was Biblical
testimony that man had been created lit
tie lower than God. Rev. McGregor ex-
plafned that the common acceptation of
this translation was that man had been
created little lower than the angels. But
this was an error When the translators
had come upon this passage, so small was
their opinion of the capabilities of the
average man that they could not be-
lieve that the original writer's meant
God, and so they translated 1t angels"
Then, too, there was another passage in
the Bible in which occurred these words,
Let us make man In our own image"
Man was tied to both earth and heaven
He could cling to the earthly. the low and
groveling; he could force himself to be.
ieve that death ended all, and that the
grave was the goal, or he could raise
himself to a higher conception of spirit,
ual things, He alone must make the
choice. The speaker described the beau,
tiful flight of birds. He had seen an
eagle soaring away from the heights IN
Palestine. He had also seen an eagle
confined in its cage with feathers droop-
ing and eyes dull. Both, indeed. were
eagles, but what a vast difference He
had seen on the banks of the Nile and in
Syria the ruins of once rare and beauti.
full &uildings. Some OF these ruins had
been restored and one could form an idea
of what they were in their glory. Man
could aspire for higher things like the
unfettered eagle; he could sink to the
baseness OF the Gagged bird. He could
stand out a noble piece OF human arch.

IN HIS PULPIT AGAIN
REV. SAM C. SMITH PREACHED AT
PEOPLES CHURCH YESTERDAY.

Rev. Samuel G. Smith occupied his pull
pit at the Peoples church yesterday for
the first time after a long absence in
California. He preached before a good
sized audience in the morning upon
What Would Jesus Do?'
The evening sermon was upon 1.-THE
Worth of a Mana Study in Modern
Values" DR.. Smith thought that the
history of the life of Abraham Lincoln
from his early manhood. as the rail-split-
ter Of Illinois, was a good illustration of
mans individuality asserting itself Peo-
pie might say that it was an accident
something that happened fifty years ago
that in the future the great men would
be drawn from the rich or so called up
per classes. 1t was no accident, he as
serted. Christ said that he would make
man more precious than fine gold, and his
promise had been more than fulfilled.
Another man would estimate the cost of
bringing boy up at $780, Such a mat
ter could not be expressed In economic
values. The boys mother, whose hair
had become gray, and whose cheeks were
furrowed with care, alone knew of the
care in rearing to useful manhood the
boy who was destined to make of his life
whatever he might.

BENNO EMBARGO LIFTED

TED TO SEE RELATIVES.

AS result of the injury OF Fred Ben,
no, the candidate who was shot during
initiation into the Fraternal Order of
Eagles last Tuesday night, B. d. Camp
bell, who was one of the most active
organizers and a charter member Of the
local eyrte. says he will resign his Of
fee at the meeting to be held Tuesday
evening. AS a reason for the course
which he says he will pursue, Mr. Camp
bell says that he feels that under the
circumstances the best thing for him
to do is to sever his connection with
the organization. In recognition Of his

Campbell was recently made a present

Whether Or not the lodge will accept Mr..
Campbells resignation is a matter or
speculation.
Il am sorry to have to take this
course" said Mr.. Campbell last evening"
but L am convinced that in justice to
the order and the other members 1t
is the wisest thing for me to do. The
affair was an accident but has become
such sensation that something has to
be done to set the lodge right with the
public. L have worked hard for the
advancement of the lodge and will hand
in my resignation with regret, but
can see no other alternative open to
me-"
Just what influence has been brought
to bear to call forth Mr.. CampbelIs resig-
nation can only be surmised. The se~
crecy which the lodge members sought
to throw about the accident, however,
has been thrown aside, since their ef-
forts at mystery stirred up so much no
toriety.
The embargo placed upon Benno at St.

sister, and Mr.. Erickson, his brother
in-law, were permitted to see him. They
found Mr.. Benno in favorable condl>

FOR RECKLESS DRIVING.
OFFICER FINN GIVES CHRISMAN A
SHARP RACE.

An exciting race took place between
Mounted officer Finn and Charles Chris
man, co1ored coachman, on University
avenue yesterday afternoon. The course
was from Prior avenue to Smelling ave.
nue.. a distance of half a mile, and
though Chrisman had much the start OF
the policeman he was finally caught and
locked up for reckless driving. Officer
Finn got after Chrisman for running
down Miss Ruth Owens, at Prior and
University avenues. Chrisman was driv-
ing white woman, who declined to
give her name, and went by the cross
ing at a fast rate of speed. Miss Owens
could not get out of the way of the horse
and was thrown down. She was bad
ly frightened and severely bruised, but
escaped being run over. AS she fell, Of
ficer Finn who was just leaving the
Prior avenue station, heard her and
quickly saw what had happened.
Chrtsman did not stop to see how badly
Miss Owens was hurt, but put the whip
to his horse and drove away as fast as
he could. Digging his spurs into his
horses flanks, officer Finn started after
the colored man. When the policeman
got on University avenue he had q
straightaway course. His charger won
the policeman's race at the state fair
last year and the horses running quail
ties were again shown. It was a stern
chase for the policeman until Smelling
avenue was reached, when he was
abreast of Chrsman's horse. Leaning
over officer Finn grabbed the trotter's
bride and brought the buggy to a stop.
He took both Chrisman and the white
woman to the station, but the woman
explained that the colored man had SIM
ply been hired to drive her to st. Paul,
so she was not held. Chrisman says
he is employed at McAlester's Fourth
avenue livery stable, Minneapolis.

better things. And after graspIng for
years for spiritual life he should not let
