Features of the Ritual.

Naval Lodge has acquired great Masonic
celebrity for its rendition of some portions,
and the most important portions, of the
ritual of the fraternity. This rendition diff
fers quite radically from the work as given
in the other local lodges. Upon this inter-
Past Master Kenton n. Harper, will say in
the history of the body, which will soon be
published:
"a few words in explanation of this pecu-
liarity of Naval Lodge, I feel sure, must be
of interest to every Mason. The first half
of the last century witnessed wide varia-
ton in the jurisdiction, both in phraseology
and methods in the work, and the correc-
ton of this undesirable state of affairs was
a gradual evolution brought about by spe-
cially appointed committees of the Grand
Lodge from time to time, preparing uniform
systems for the several degrees and by the
various grand lectures, eXemplifying the
work before the grand body and having it
adopted. AS far as the first degree Is con-
cerned. its adoption it a matter OF record,
but as to the others we are dependent upon
tradition. Touching the matter Of
variation, while there is nothing of rec Jrd, |

NAVAL LODGE GAIETY
THIRD EVENING OF CENTENARY
CELEBRATION.
Gala. Time Last Night-Large Attend
ance of. Members and
Ladies.

The centenary celebration of the grant
ing of charter to Naval Lodge. No 4,
F. A. A. NJ, completed its third section
last evening at the beautiful Masonic hall
owned by the lodge in Southeast Washing
ton. 1t drew the largest attendance of any
of the events of the series. Its form was a
reception by the members of Naval Lodge
and their ladies to master Masons of other
lodges and their ladies. About $50 were in
attendance during the course of the recep-
ton, which continued for three hours.
The hall and adjacent rooms continued
to be decorated as on the evening of the
centennial celebration, and the ladies ex-
pressed as much pleasure at their beautiful
arrangement the Masons had on the
evening before, The only thing missing
was the Masonic form and ceremonals
The officers of Naval Lodge, No. 4, and
their ladies formed the receiving line, and
Past Master Kenton N. Harper introduced
the guests. The line remained for an hour
and half before all the guests had passed
The ladies in the receiving line were Mrs
A. J. White with Worshipful Master White
Mrs. John H. Wolf and Senior Warden
Wolf. Mrs. John Scrivener with Junior
Warden Scrivener, Mrs. John Schultz with
Secretary Schultz. Miss Bessie olterback
with Senior Deacon Rodier Mrs. L. E.
Bradford with Junior Deacon z. T. Tai
bert, Mrs. John H. King with Senior Stew
y. T
Junior Steward Campbell, and Mrs Rev.
F. S. Hodgson with Chaplain Hodgson.
Marshal P. B. Olterback was also in the
line.
The musical program was an attractive
one, consisting of orchestral selections and
vocal and piano selos, agreeably inter
spersed. Mrs. W. H. Miller and Mrs. Mabel
Flower were the vocal soloists. Piano
solos were given by Theodore Tobani,
George Atwater, Miss NJ. Agnes Clarke and
Mrs. Blanche Luckett. All of them were
much enjoyed, but what pleased the guests
even more was excellent buffet luncheon
served by Messrs. Coffin and KatZ for the
company from to II o'clock.
Tonight the Woodworking entertainers
will rest from labor and be at ease until
tomorrow evening, when the celebration will
close at the regular convention of the lodge,
which will be given over to a social reunion
of the members of the lodge. The program
is for "reminiscences and smoker, but feiici-
tations on the great success of the celebra-
ton will undoubtedly play prominent
part

People in Japan Urge the Mikado
Not to Ratify the Peace
Treaty..

Toxic, Sept. 2s.-The number of dr.
rect memorials to the throne from diff
ferent associations and individuals
condemning the peace treaty and ask
ing that it be not ratified exceeds 40.
among which is an address signed by
six professors of the Imperial univer-
sity, one of whom was recently placed
on the retired list owing to his strong
ly wcrded anti-peace thesis. This me-
mortal strongly urged the necessity of
refusing to ratify the peace treaty,
and condemns it as entirely annulling
the purpose of the war as set forth in
the declaration of hostilities. 1t is also
stated that indisputab1e reasons exist
for refusing to. ratify the treaty, which
is deemed to be pregnant with ele-
ments Of humiliation and future dan
ger to the national interests.

DENIAL BY sHERRIcK.
Gov. Hanly's Charges Pronounced
False by Dsposed Indiana
Auditor.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 22.-David
e. Sherrick. depossd auditor of state,
late Thursday night gave out the first
public statement he has made since
Gov. Hanly forced him to resign his
L0f6ce. The statement, Mr.. Sherrick ex-
planned, was only preparatory to a
more detailed one that he will give out
later. Until his complete explanation
is made, Mr.. Sherrick in his statement
asks the people Of the state to with
hold judgment in the matter of his
expose. The statement follows:
Gov. Hanly, in a speech at Hamil-
ton, Ind, Tuesday, and also at Fort
Wayne Tuesday night, thought it prop
er, in justification of his course toward
me, while claiming to be my friend, to
attack not only by official, but my. pri-
vate character TN manner that seems
to be most vicious. I have so far re-
Trained from making any reply
ing so keenly the injustice done me in
those speeches, I cannot longer remain
silent His statement that I gambled
away at French Lick $4,000, that I
was unable to attend to my official du-
ties on the tax board on account of
carousals, drinking and gambling AZ
night, are absolutely false. His state
ment that did not loan him $780, for
purposes that I viii prove beyond ques-
ton, is likewise false. In due time 1
shall prepare and publish a full state
ment concerning the charges of the
governor, which am sure will con-
vince the public that each of his,
statements is absolutely false I will
also show that other charges he made
against me In those speeches were
made SO as to misrepresent me, to do
me gross injustice and to leave a false
impression regarding my conduct.
II do not ask the public TO believe
these simple denials any more than
they should believe his unsupported
charges. I simply ask the public to
withhold opinion until I can prepare
and present such facts as will show
whether or not the GOVERNOR is tell
ing the truth. When I make my state
ment it will be supported by evidence
OF trustworthy men,"

the Hotel Suizo, the scene of the af-
fatr, is situated. One telegram says
that Villuendas fired the shot which

five cars loaded with rural guards, the
largest number of whom are destined
for Cienfuegos, while the others will

MEDICINE SHOW
ST ARTED FIGHT
Contest Between Ladies Was
Cause Of Closing Up Pc
titiOn at Blackjack.

It has developed that two
ladies are responsible for all the
trouble oyer the recent election
held at Blackjack. A medicine
show made a weeks stand in the
|up-line city and gave. a prize ring
to the most popular lady, the
matter Of determining the ques-
zion being vote among those
who attended the show. The
contest lasted for week, Mrs.
John Pasha and Miss Dora Her
manson being the contestants.
| On the last evening Of the show,
the ring was awarded to Mrs.
Pasha, who received a large part
of her support from the saloon
element Of the city. Miss Her
manson's friends. who repre-
sented the other element, were
not to be outdone, however, and
they bought for her a valuable
diamond ring. The enmity that
sprung up between the, two fac
tions continued, and the result
was that at the election a purely
factional fight Waged, resulting
in the election of the saloon men s
ticket. Two petitions we're cir
culated by the defeated faction,
one to the governor Of the state
and another to the city council,
asking that the state law be en-
forced and at the meeting Of the
council Monday night the peti
ton to that body was laid over
to the next regular meeting next
Monday.
