AN EVENT FOR MAsoNs.

me most important Masonic event
Tor long time in Utah is SEIZED I.,i for
today. when. with elaborate ceremony.
the corner stone OF the new Masonic
temple vii! be laid. From all parts of
TIE state the craft will gather and
there win be many visitors fIom neigh
boring states. The Herald takes this
opportunity TO congratulate the Ma
sons on their progress and their appar-
ent prosperity and to wish for them
the fullest measure of success in the
future.
Masons and Masonry need no enco-
MUM from this paper or any other.
The grand old order has stood the test
of the centuries and it is stronger to-
day than in all its wonderful hist Try.
The date OF the organization has long
been a disputed point. It is said 20
have had its commencement az the
building OF King Solomon's temple. and
there are some highly esteemed Ma
sons who will tell you that they got
their Masonry from a man who got it
"A blAi HIS A1lllEl8 NllOHD 41lllNI SOL II
from his father and so down an al
most endless list OF fathers to Solomon.
We have never seen any records OF
meetings OF the lodge OF which Solomon
was master, but We take il for granted
that he was q Mason and the master
OF his lodge. This. however, is not of
particular Importance. The main thing
Is that Masonry is concededly tho old
est fraternal organization in the world.
Others have sprung UP since it was or
ganized, have grown in numbers and
in influence and have died. But Ma
sonry has gone on with it's work for
good. doing more work and better work
al the time.
Masonry lives because it deserves to
live, because it is impossible to be a
good Mason without being a good citi-
zen. 1t is but natural that, in an or
ganizatiOn containing so many thou
sands OF members, there should be men
who are not good citizens. BY the same
token they are not good Masons, either.
For Masonry teaches good citizenship,
lofty ideals. pure purposes.
OF Masonic charity much might be
written. OF the help it has been To the
helpless, OF the comfort for those in
sore need or comfort, much might be
said. Masons. though, do not advertise
their good works. When they give
money 10 a widow they do not ask the
newspapers 10 print a photograph Of
the check. a picture OF the widow and
- scene showing the presentation cere-
mony ana the tears OF JOY. Masonic
charity is not of that sort. Rather do
they follow the injunction OF the Man
Of Sorrows when he said:
But when thou doest aims, Ie! not
thy left hand know what thy right
hand doeth: that thine alma may be- in
secret; and thy Father. which seeth in
secret. himself shall reward thee
openly"
Again We congratulate the Masons Of
Utah. again We express the hope that
they viii always be prosperous. for We
know that II they prosper they who
most need the benefits viii receive
them.

ABOUT MYTlLENE.

There has been a ( good deal in the
papers recently in connection with the
naval demonstration OF the powers to
induce Turkey 10 give them financial
control Of Macedonia, about Mytilenc.
Still. we are sorry to say. many intel
ligent readers don't know whether
Mytilene is a city. an island. @ PENN
sula, state, county a cough syrup
or a catarrh cure. the latter absolutely
guaranteed by our mos: prominent dis
penser OF drugs and soda water.
Mytilene-no matter how you have
seen the name spelled, this IS the cor
rect way-is an island some 615 square
miles. with a population of about 1885,
600. Il has a rather interesting his
tory, detailed briefly by a contempo-
rary as follows:
ola legends say it was first settled
by a body Of Pelasgi. but thar after
the deluge OF Deucalion, AGacareus led
q colony thither from Attica. 1t had
formerly been called Issa. then Pelas-
gia. but was now called Macarea. Les
hos, an Aeolian, married Mithymne, q
daughter OF Macareus, and gave his
name TO the island. The oldes. daugh-
ter OF Macareus was named Mytilene;
her name was originally given to the
capital Of the island and in modern
times to the island itself.
From a small monarchy Lesbos de-
veloped into a powerful democracy,
and made conquests on the continent
in the territory OF ancient Troy. 1t
was conquered by the Persians. but
achieved its independence and became
an ally OF Athens. AfteTward it tried
to separate from Athens. but was over
powered and severely punished. At
one time it contained nine cities, said
10 have all been in q hourishinc condi-
tion. 1t fell under the power Of Rome,
and was severely punished. for having
sided With AIithvidates Finally il be-
came the prey OF the 'unspeakable
Turk and is now subject to his do
minion."
There is ground for believing that
the Lesbeans were VIGOROUSLY disso-
lutte, but they were also devoted 10
poetry and music. There is legend to
! the effect that they hung the Tyre OF Or
pheus, after Orpheus had been torn
TO pieces and thrown with his Tyre into
the river Hebrus, in tho temple OF
| Apollo, the body and the instrument
| having been washed ashore on Lesbos.
Apollo. it is related, was much pleased
them with the gifts of poetry and
music.

CONTRACT TO Markell STANDS.
President Roosevelt Approved Award
of Chairman Shonts Of the Hotel
and Subsistence Concession on the
Panama Canal Zone.

Oyster Bay, September IA con-
tract for the hotel and subsistence con-
cession on the Panama canal zone,
awarded to Jacob E. Markell, of Oma-
ha, Neb, by President Theodore Z.
Shonts. of the Panama railroad COM
pany, will stand.
This, in effect, is the decision Of
President Roosevelt, who today APP
proved a report on the subject made to
him by Mr. Shonts.
The contract amounts. in the aggre-
gate to many millions OF dollars, but
Mr. Shonts report indicates that it may
be abrogated at the will of the govern
ment which will own the permanent
plant used by Mr. Markell in filing the
terms of his contract.
Mr.. Shonts' statement clears up the
allegations to the satisfaction OF the
president. He therefore, has approved
the report and no further action con-
cerning the protest probably will De
taken.
Mr.. Shonts says in his report that
the bid of Markell in every item, but
one. was either as low as or lower
than the other bids, and that all bid
ders were fairly treated on precisely
the same basis and Mr. ShOntS further
says:
'In making the award l took into
consideration not only the prices but
the experience of the bidders and the
organizations for the business that
they now have.
Mr. Markell has had thirty years
experience in this special field OF op-
Grating railroad hotels and construct
ing camps on the Union Pacific, ILL
nois Central, Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy: Kansas City, Southern ana
other roads; that he now has large
| camps on two or three of these roads;
that he has such a large force that
he can withdraw from it sufficient help
to promptly equip the hotels we have
constructed, and will also be in posi-
ton (if the climate affects his staff)
to keep supplying new men from his
force in the United States as exigeacy
demands, and letting those on the 18TH
| mus return here to recuperate. thus
having a constant chain of fresh en-
ployes going to the isthmus.

Boston, Mass, September 14.-The
death of Mayor Patrick A Collins. at
Hot Springs, Va. was announced here
today by NJ. ]. Curran, secretary to
the mayor. A telegram received by
Mr.. Curran briefly reported the sud
den demise OF his chief.
Mayor Collins left here about week

ly needed rest. He was accompanied
by his eldest son, Paul Collins. When
he started south, the mayor was ap-
parently in good health.
The mayors son in later telegram
announced that he would start north
tomorrow with the body of his faith er.
and that he expected to reach Boston
Saturday.
Mayor Collins was one of the leai-
ing Democrats of the country. He
served in Congress from 1883 to 1889,
and was United States consul general
at London from 1893 to 1897.
Mayor Collins was the presiding CT
ficer Of the National Democratic con-
vention of 1888.
The news of the sudden death of
their mayor came as a tremendous
shock to the citizens of Boston. Mayor
Collins was regarded here as one of
the last members of the so-called ''Cld
School, in national life The general
respect in which he was held as a nat
iOnal figure was enhanced by the af-
fection in which he was ehld by the
people Of Boston. The news of the
mayors death became circulated
throughout the city, and caused
profound sensation. Expressions of
grief were heard on all sides and trib-
utes were freely spoken.
Mayor Collins is survived by a wild

Mrs Charles Roy Stevenson. and one
son, Paul
Under teh city charter the mayoral-
ty falls upon the chairman of the
