IndustrIaI Prooress, south.

The liberalization OF the Industries
OF the South is exempllfed In no more
forceful manner than the Increase IN
the number of coke ovens in the past
quarter Of century. The greatest
advance In this line has been made
within the last 10 years, the Incentive
being the development Of the coal
properties and the establishment Of
Iron and steel plants and co-relatiye
Industries. In 1880 the census 70
turns gave the whole number OF com
pleted coke ovens a 1,oss, which IN
1904 had been Increased to 32,76s.

True it is. one might as well DE out Of

gown with old fashioned sleeves puts the
wearer out of the ranks OF the well

and death IN the world OF fashion. No
part Of the dress changes so radically and
so continually. Many freck would
serve the wearer another season were its
sleeves not. out of date. Il IS to supply
this want that the two sleeve patterns
are shown. The leg o mutton Is one Of
the most graceful OF Its kind, being shirr-

visitors entered the tepee of Wahnita
Council and there exemplified the work
by adopting six palefaces for the sit

manner that reflects great credit on
those who took part in it and Captain
George E. Dastugue, who instructed
the members of the team. After the
work there was a feast of corn and

The warwhoops are heard every sew

Of Alameda. They come from the te-
pee of Yosemite Council No. 19, d. of

that the council is moving along and
adopting palefaces at every council
around the bright brand. Such has
been the rule since Pocahontas Schnei-
der has been at the head OF this very
active council. The motto of Yosemite
is Keep the ball rolling" and it lives
up to it. Recently, after the discus
sion of the regular business, the tepee
and the banquet hall were thrown open
to palefaces who mingled with the Po
cahontases and all enjoyed a well-ar-
ranged programme of music, song and
specialties prepared by Chairman Nc
Donnell. All who took part were loud
ly applauded, but Baby Raishingno
won the admiration of all by her cute

knights of Pythias.

During the past thirty days the con-
ventions of Eureka Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias have been largely
attended, this on account of the re-
newed activity of the members in the
work of the order. The lodge re-
Gently celebrated the forty-second an

years the tyler of Fidelity Lodge. Free
and Accepted Masons. During that Pc
riod he has been a most faithful at
tendant at the portal of the lodgeroom,
never being absent on lodge night ex-
cept for one period when severe at
tack of illness confined him to his
home for several weeks. The tyler of
Fidelity has on many occasions been
offered advancement in the lodge, but
he has always declined, preferring the
position he has filled so long, faithfully,
honestly and conscientiouSly to the
highest one the lodge could bestow
upon him. He is credited with hav-
ing never permitted any one to
cross the threshold of the lodgeroom
unless he gave the proof that is re-
quired for admission. He insists in the
most positive manner in securing from
his sons, and there are five of them in
the lodge, that which is required to
make themselves known according to
the usage of the fraternity. A remark
able fact in connection with Tyler
Myers incumbency is his most remark
able memory for names and faces. He
not only knows every member of the
lodge, and it has large membership,
but can call them by name even though
they may absent themselves from the
lodge for long time; not only this, but
when he once hears the name and OBJ
serves the face of visitor he can name
him and the lodge he belongs to, even
though the visitor come but once in a
great while. Upon his silver anniver
sary as tyler, the lodge, recognizing his
f<x. o,-t.a Of
tury in preventing intrusion into the
hall, gave him a valuable gold watch
and chain. In addition to the remark
able position Tyler Myers holds in the
lodge, he has the distinction of being
the only Mason in the United States, so
it is asserted by those who have inves-
tigated, of having five sons as MEM
bers of the lodge in which he holds his
membership. These are George H..
who was raised Master Mason Feb
ruary 16, 1898; Isador b. and Louis,
raised June 19, 1902; Robert, raised Oc-
tober %, 1903, and Joseph, raised May
rs, 1904. He has two more sons, who,
as soon as they attain the age when
they may take the apprentice degree,
will become members of Fidelity Lodge.
In the picture of this family of Masons,
Tyler Myers occupies the central posi-
ton, George H. is to his right hand and
Louis to his left in the front row, Jo-
seph stands behind his brother George,
Robert behind his father and Isador be-
hind his brother Louis. The tyler prays
that he may be permitted to live and
be the guardian of the lodge entrance
until his two other sons shall become
Master MasonS.
