Eagles Install Officers
and Entertain
Friends
One of the Pleasantest Ever to Take
Place in this City is to the Credit
of the Local Aerie Last Night.

Very many public entertainments
have been given in recent years il this
city to please the fancy and to be long
remembered. But that of Thursday
night on the occasion of the public
installation of officers of the f. o. E.
was by far the most graceful and the
most appreciative of any fraternal
event or otherwise. hat has ever taken
place within Prescott. 1t was due to
the generous impulses that character
ize this excellent order, and the re
sponsive chord of fellowship in feeling
was attested by such a throng that
many we're unable to see or be seen.
The spacious hall of the order was
packed with an eager throng. From the
beginning of the solemn duties that
signalized the initiating of each mans
duty to the cause that only those of
the order know or feel, interest was
shown and duly regarded to that de
gree of earnestness that pin dropping
on the floor could have been traced by
its sound. The services we're beautiful
and as the impressive rites were ad-
ministered to each newly chosen off
Ger, the prettiness of the ceremony
created many handsome expressions
from all who were not linked in fell
lowship to this order.
Varying from the lodge room work,
an interesting program was also given.
This feature of the entertainment
comprised the rendering of many Sc
lections from the well known Eagles
band, under the dictatorship of Prof
Eiler. Miss Carpenter, the sweet vo-
calist, and a universal favorite,
sing very sweetly and was sncored
generously. A male quartette also
gave several songs. Miss Loring, a
visitor to the city from Boston, made
very favorable impression in vocal
selections. Mr.. Sargood sang twice
because he was called back. A farce
by Mosher and Baker was cleverly
acted. Ernest Enamel had his violin
in an harmonious condition and dem
onstrated his ability as master.
After the conclusion of the musical
and literary events, the officers for
the grand lodge were installed. They
are:
J. E. Mccoy, past grand worthy
president.
J. P. Dillon, past grand worthy
president.
DR.. J. Harvey Blain, past vice
grand president.
Morris Asher, grand chaplain;
C. P. Hicks, grand secretary.
Bert c. Davis, grand treasurer.
Hon. Lucius r. Barrow, grand con-
ductor.
F. E. Mansfield, grand inside guard
Al. Weber. grand outside guard.
/ D. NJ. Clark, and Adolf Moser,
grand trustees.
DR.. Smith and W. f. Mansfield,
grand physicians.
Sergeants Lee and Burg of the L. S.
army stationed at WhippIe, grand
guards of honor.
The officers installed by Prescott
Aerie 233 F. o. E. are:
W. J. Bond, worthy president.
Thomas Patterson, worthy vice
president.
F. H. Williams, worthy chaplain.
Chas. H. McLane, worthy secretary.
C. W. Manderfeld, worthy treasurer.
L. r. Barrow, worthy conductor.

Max Goron, outside guard.
r. r. Talbot, W. S. Marks and A.
j. Herndon, trustees.
DR.. W. f. Linn and Dr. S. V. Fitz
simmons. Aerie physicians.
The evening was concluded with
dancing and the hall was so iammed
by the devotees of the terpsichorean
art, it was difficult to the many to en-
Joy this feature of the entertainment
for that reason.
The Eagles are to be heartily com
plimented. They enjoyed the occasion
because others enjoyed their hospital
ity. They are proverbially linked to
the good cheer side of life and Thurs
day they tied themselves to the people
with a chord that will everlastingly
bind.
