OF Interest to the Masons.

There seems to be a desire among
many of the Masons in town and
vicinity to take the higher degrees In
York Masonry, and there is good
prospect of Commandery being
formed here and that, too, Ia the near
future. "A number of those who are al
ready Knights Templars are interest
ed and petition will be circulated
among them soon to see how many
are willing to withdraw from other
Communicates and petition to the
Grand officers for the purpose of
instituting one here. Already there
are nearly tWenty-seven who have
taken the Chapter degrees and have
expressed their desire to take the
degrees of the Commandery, and
there are several Masons who will
take both, the degrees of the Chapter
and COmmandery.
The territory Is most favorable In
this direction, there being Command
cries at Montpelier, st. Johnsbury,
Newport, st. Adams and Burlington,
and none nearer. This would give to
this new Commandery, Lamoille
County, Hardwick, Craftsbury and
Greensboro, with a registered mem
bership in the Blue Lodge of $50
to 1000 Masons. All goes to indicate
a live and most Furnishing COmman-
drey in less than two years, If the
petition be granted. All those who
are interested in this movement will
help things along if they will talk
with some of the officers of either the
Masonic Lodge or Chapter.
A meeting of all interested will be
called at some convenient time in
the near future.

The following from the Albany,

interest to many of our readers and
especially to the older residents of
this town and Gilmore:
Charles Bridge, one of Albany's
well-known citiz ems, died this morn
ing at his residence, $50 State street.
He was for years closely identified
with the business interests of the
city and always took an active part
in anything that would contribute
toward the material progress of AL
bany. He had a large circle of friends,
both in the business and social world,
who admired him for his many ster-
ling traits of character, and who join
with the bereaved family in mourning
his departure.
Charles Bridge was the son of Jon
athan Bridge and Hannah Taylor
Bridge, and the grandson of Colonel
Ebenezar Bridge, soldier of the Rev
olution. He was born in Gilmore,
VT, on Jan. IA, 1924,
Mr.. Bridge on Jan. %, 1862, mar

his own way in the world. Hesecured
employment in the village Of Morris
vile and subse quently removed to

in the business Of buying and selling
live stock.
He came. to Albany about 1859
and has resided here continuously
since. He entered the firm of Hawk
ms, Van Antwerp & Co., packers of
beef and pork, and continued in this
business until his retirement in 1884.
During his connection with the firm
it was known successfully as Haw-
kins, Van Antwerp & Co., Van Ant
werp, Bridge & Co. and Bridge &
Davis. Two of his former partners

William NJ. Van Antwerp and Vim. E.
Davis.
MIR. Bridge was a member of the
Second Presby terrain church. He had
but one child, Chas. Francis Bridge,
the we'll known lawyer and assistant
corporation counsel, of this city.
The deceased is survived by his widow
and son, who have the heartfelt sym
pathy of large circle of friends and
acquaintance. Mr.. Bridge was a
loving husband and an aff9ctionate
and considerable father, a substantial
businessman and safe, conservative
citizen.

and literary program rendered by

suggests much careful preparation.

pleasing manner.
The exercises were opened by q
prayer by Rev. M. S. Eddy, and at
the close Rev. DR.. Booth gave the
children a pleasant talk, taking for
his topic the word edo" Rev. M. S.
Eddy pronounced the benediction.
