est and most successful Grand Lodge
meeting In the history OF the organiza-
ton closed this evening. There were
1,0sa Grand Lodge members in the CITY,.

this number is said to have been at the
Milwaukee reunion in 1901. when there
were TO present.
There were two sessions Of the Grand
Lodge to-day, at the first OF which only
routine matters were discussed. AT the
evening session 1t was decided to restore
its charter to the Macon, Ca, lodge, the
charter committee having reported favor
ably on the application after thorough
investigation OF the charges against the
lodge. The committee on ritual was not
prepared to report all the changes pro-
posed in the ritual. and the matter was
carried over.- the committee being in
structed to report a complete ritual when
II is agreed upon. A resolution was
adopted discouraging the throwing OF
confetti during future Grand Lodge meet
irgs. 1t is said that many of the more
conservative members urged the adoption
OF this resolution.

ton to the local lodge. to the Mayor and
City Council Of Baltimore, and to the

asm was shown, and a thorough accord
ance with the report was shown by all

be supported for the nomination for the
LEGISLATURE, and only those in full accord
with the Mann bill should receive the sup
port Of the temperance people. A collec-
