vi mhoONIO hhAA M
AT WILLIAMSBURG.
Oct. 80, 1924, on the occasion of the
famous Frenchman's visit to the coun-
try for whose freedom he had fought
under Washington. According to the
record, "Worshipful Brother Lafayette
was unanimously elected an honorary
member of the lodge"
The Williamsburg building of course
is much older than the Richmond hall,
but it was not built for Masonic pur-
poses.
1t is interesting to mention the fact
in this connection that President Nc
Kinley when a captain in the Federal
army was initiated into the Masonic or
der in Virginia. The story goes that
Captain Mckinley visited an army hos
pital near Winchester, where a Fed
eral surgeon was attending some
wounded Confederates. He observed
that the surgeon handed sums of mon
ey to several of the Confederates.
"Why are you doing that?" McKin-
ley inquired.
Because they are Masons," was the
reply.
This so impressed the future presi-
dent that he went to Winchester and
Immediately made application for men,
bership in the local lodge of Masons.
After the war he transferred his mem
bership to Canton, O., where he be-
came a Knight Templar.
A majority of our presidents have
been Masons. President Roosevelt
was made a Master Mason by the
lodge ut Oyster Bay after he became
vice president. Mr.. Fairbanks also
became a Master Mason after be-
coming vice president. President
Roosevelt participated a few weeks
for the new Masonic temple in Wash
ington. He has been elected to the
chapter degrees of the New York rite.
President Washington was q noted
Mason of his day. He Joined the
lodge in Fredericksburg, Va, across
the Rappahannock river from his boy
hood home. at the age of twenty-one,
in 1853. The Bible Washington used
in taking his Masonic obligations IS
still ~sacredly preserved by the Fred
ericksburg lodge. 1t was used In
the cornerstone laying ceremonies at
Washington June 8. .
Andrew Jackson served as grand
master of Tennessee. Garfield was
n of the most active Masons who
ever occupied the presidency. He was
a member of Pentalpha lodge In
Washington, and always took q deep
interest In Masonic affairs.

Pedestrian Rights.

Only in Great Britain, so far as l
know, does the law hold that a foot
passenger has an equal right to the
highway with the wheeled traffic and
that it is the duty of the driver of the
latter to avoid at all costs the former,
even if he has to do so at considerable
inconvenience and often danger. In
other countries, on the contrary, it is
the duty of the pedestrian to give way
to the wheeled traffic.-Atlanta Con-
Stitution.

of jamestown as capital OF the
Virginia colony, may find on Francis
street In that old town a very dilapi-
dated frame house of two stories which
should appeal to their sentiments as
brethren in the order. 1t is the oldest
building now standing in Virginia
which has been used as a Masonic
hall. This weatherboarded and wealth
erbsaten old house, with its brick chin
ney rising from one end and a funny
little cupola sticking up from the mid
die Of the roof ridge, vas the first
headquarters of Masonry in Virginia.
Patrick Henry vas a member of the
lodge that held meetings there. The
ancient building, which apparently
was intended for a residence, has been
unoccupied, and it's crumbling window
shutters have been closed for years.
There is now some talk of putting the
building In better order.
In that old house the first grand
lodge Of Virginia was organized. Else
where In Williamsburg the lodge has
today a commodious modern hall, in
which there Is used an antique, richly
carved mahogany chair which was pre-
scented to the lodge by Lord Botetourt,
colonial governor. This chair was used
by Washington at his first Inaugural
ton in New York city and by Presi-
dent Arthur on the occasion Of the
presentation Of the monument at York
town.
In Richmond is a wooden building
which is said to be the oldest in
America built for Masonic purposes.
Only one other Masonic building, In
fact, antedated II, and that Is no Ion
ger standing. The old hall in Rich
mond vas completed Dec. 10, 1887. In
this hall memorial services in honor
of George Washington were held Feb.

union meeting. A reception was ten
