Please have all letters stamped or

Masonic Installation

Inc several Masonic bodies OF
Milbank held their installation of
officers in public form last Mon
day evening, the various mem
bers Of the families being guests
Of the occasion. At the conclu.
sion ofthe ms tallation ceremonies
in other years the ladies of the
Eastern Star had always pro-
vided banquet in honor of the
occasion, and of course very
elaborate spreads had been pro-
vided The men of the lodge
however, are epicurian in their
tastes, and claimed that if they
were given the privilege of pre-
praing the banquet they should
out-do anything that the ladies
had ever prepared. AT last the
matter was turned over to them
but with the understanding that
they should not import any chefs.
The bill of fare was kept a pro
found secret until the guests
were invited to the banquet hall,
when IL was discovered that the
delicacies which had been pro-
vided consisted of an immense
quantity Of sauerkraut, weiner-
Worsts galore, rye bread, brick
cheese and coffee. There were
no flowers on the tables-in fact
there were no tables, nor even
chairs in the room, but the
guests were obliged to move in
procession from the several
stands where the saurkraut, rye
bread and other luxuries were
being dished up and their fine
qualities extolled by a corps of
white aproned walters. After
having their dishes filled they
were obliged to squat on the
floor and discuss their menue
la picnic. Notwithstanding the
little disadvantages mentione ed,
the "banquet' was voted a great
success and the 'lords of crea-
ton are pluming themselves on
the fact that men can do things.

House Making Slow Progress With
the Postoffice Bill.

Washington, March 24.-When the
house adjourned last evening some
progress had been made in the reading
of the postoffice appropriation bill for
amendment but only six pages were
disposed Of The appropriation for
the railway mail service was carefully
scrutinized, and in the case of inland
mail transportation by star routes the
appropriation vas scaled down from
$500, 600 to S7,850,0oO. The question
as to the length of time a postal car
may be used before it becomes unfit
for service was settled by the house
when an amendment by Mr. Twaney
(Minn.) was adopted providing that
no part of the appropriation shall be
used for the rental of cars which have
been in service for more than fifteen
years.
The senate spent the greater part OF
the day considering the Indian appro-
priation bill. Three hours Of the
time was given to a discussion of
claim of $4,000 for services rendered
the Choctaw indians. 1t finally was
eliminated from the Indian bill. The
civil service debate was renewed, and
there was consiG cradle discussion of
the policy to be pursued in securing
employees fer work on the Panama
canal.
