The State Supreme Court has
made an important ruling with
respect to realestate agents by
Judge Marshall, in the case of
Fisher Real Estate Co. VS..
Staed Reality Co., both of st.
Louis, The suit arose out of
the sale of the Laclede puild-
ing in st. Louis some years ago.
Judge Marshal holds that a
real estate broker performs his
duty and is entitled to his COM
mission when a purchaser is
introduced who is ready, will
ing and able to buy on the
terms authorized by the princi-
pal. The agent is entitled to
his commission if he is the pro-
curing cause of the negotiations
which result in the sale, even
though the negotiations are
conducted and concluded by the
principal in person.

The Republicans to nominate a
ticket of extraordinary merit in
order to secure the support of
even the better elem ents in
their own party. No machine

muster. A most commeuda BILE
feature of the Democratic con-
vention was the nomination of
two Republicans for the Board
of Education, thus committing
the party unequivocally in
favor of the non parsisan man.

This embodiment of the non.

In MEMORIAM,

Whereas, the Messenger, Death, has again
invaded our Sanctuary and translated the
soul of one of the purest and best among us
from this imperfect to that all-perfect and
celestial Lodge above where the Supreme
Architect Of the Universe presidcs;
And, whereas, it is meet and proper and the
loving duty of those who revered and hon
Orcd him hereto give expression of their Sor-
roHtat his passing away" to commemorate
his virtues, and exalt the purity of his gentle
life of usefulness, charity and good will to-
wards men: therefore,
BE it resolved by Franklin Lodge No. 81, F.
and y. H., that by the death of Brother
Thomas L. Kennedy this lodge has lost the
living presence of one of its most exemplary
members, Masonry in general, one of it's
NEST devout disciples and the State a patriot
and citizen whose upright life forms last
ing memorial to civic virtue and moral eX
colcnce and beauty. Unassumng, tender,
faithful, brave in the right, as God had Civ
en- him to see the right" he quietly pressed
forward on the line Of duty in the fulfilment
of a mission of usefulness, the fair record of
which is without blot or blemish, it was fit
ingiy said Of him by a friend as we consign-
cd his body to the earth Kennedy was one
of natures noblcmen. He was as brave as q
lion and his soul was as pure as the luStrc
of a diamond"
If Il correct lifc-if doing unto others as yon
would have them do unto you'll faithful
obedience in practice to the precepts of the
sermon on the mount are an earnest of the
promised recOmpcnse of the hereafter, then
we have the sweet assurance that our broth
CT. in solving the Great Mystery, rests joy
fully in the peace of the Mason's God.
Resolved, That we tender to his widow and
family our heartfelt sympathy in the hour
Of their great bereavement
True, it is written, that the young may die,
the old must, and tears anguish and sorrow
linger over the grave of departed loved
one, still. they have the consolation of
knowing that with the good, the pure and
the faithful as was our brother, death after
all is but the thin shadow that curtains earth
from Heaven.
Resolved, That our Sanctuary be draped
with the habilments of sorrow, that the
members of this lodge wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days and that page
in our record book be consecrated to the
memory of our lamented brother.
Resolved, That these resolutions be pub
lished and a copy thereof be forwarded to
the family of our deceased brother.

Lieutenant st. John Liddcll Caffery.

| The death of this young officer
has cast a heavy cloud of sadness
over this community, and every
one sympathizes with his honora-
BILE parents in this, their cruel ex-
perience. Death is painful under
all circumstances, but in this in
stance, it breaks the heart asun-
der. Here this young man was
! snatched away in the spring of life,
when enjoying all the faculties of
mind and body. This unfortunate
death destroys brilliant future
on earth, but

To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore."
The honorable and brilliant
career of this young officer, who
had just been promoted to first
lieutenant of Marines, made him
the idol of his parents. ard shed
lustre upon name that had
already been placed upon the
pedestal of fame. But,
ale leaves our hearts all desolate-
lie plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers"
Young Gallery possessed a gen.
ial, sunny disposition, and to
know him was to love him.
Though mild in disposition, he
was endowed with that firmness
so characteristic of his illustriou
family. We mourn his loss here,

'There is world above
Where parting is unknown.
A long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone:
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere"
