CONVENTION EVERYBODYS<GOING
OPENED TOMORROW

rVY YHEN the Masonic fair of 1907
opens it's doors to the public to-
M morrow night the third fair in
w aid of the construction of
new Masonic temple will have
been formally inaugurated.
Two previous fairs were held IN aid OF
this project, one in 1898 and the other IN
1902 In addition to these a festival was
held in May of last year. AS a result or all
these enterprises considerable sums OF
money were added to the temple iuho.
The fair of 1893 netted $4I 900 in round
figures; that of 1902 added another s3s,ooo'
and at the May festival of a year ago
$4,000 was placed to the profit side OF the
account Both of the fairs mentioned re
NAMED open for two weeks, while the May
festival lasted only one week, ana was
proportionately more expensive than the
other two enterprises and the one which
is within a day of being open to the Wash
ington public.
Nothing daunted by the showing made
heretofore, the managers of the present
enterprise have set high mark in the way
of profit. They expect to realize in the
neighborhood of $4,000 this year, and say
that estimate is conservative. They have
offered several valuable gifts to the season
ticket holders and the advance sale has
come up to expectations in every way.
In addition to a liberal patronage of the
various fairs and entertainments heretofore
held the members of the Masonic fraternity
have subscribed upward of 100000 for
the purchase of stock in the new temple,
thus showing a loyalty that probably has
no parallel in the history of Masonry in
any other city in the United States or even
in the entire world.

George ". Evans, one of the prominent
members of the fraternity. was director
general of the fair of 1898, and the ex-
ecutive committee was headed by J. Henry
Small jr. The fair of 1902 was under the
management of a board of control of which
Frank H. Thomas was chairman and Mr..
Harry Stamford was the director general.
Few persons are aware of the magnitude
of an undertaking such as the Masonic fair
which is about to open it's doors to the pub
lie The history of the plan and work of
preparation for the present enterprise dates
back nearly six months. The subject was
first preached last fall, and definite deci-
sion TO hold another fair reached at a
meeting in November, when a committee
was appointed to form the preliminary
plans.
The result of these plans has been the
formation of a number of committees which
have general charge of the fair work and
the further organization of committees in
the various Masonic bodies in the District
of Columbia, to which have been assigned
the mana cement of the many booths and
special features to be presented to fair
visitors. The general direction of the fair
is in the hands of a board of control, with
b. F.. Smith of Lafayette Lodge as its
president. Harry Stamford, wisO was the
active manager. of the fair of 1902, was
again pressed into service this year. The
other officers of the board are l.. r. CHM,
first vice president; Jacobus S. Jones, sec
ond vice president; Frank A. Sebring, third
vice president; Frank r. Underwood, gen.
eral secretary; George b. Ostermayer as
sistant secretary; James a. Sample. treas
urer; Greed NJ Fulton, general counsel,
and H. A. Johnston, assistant director gen.
eral.
There are eighteen general committees
in charge of the various branches of the
fair work. and the chairmen of these com
mittees complete the membership of the

oldest Maine Lawyer Dead .


Albert w. Paine, said to be the oldest
practicing lawyer in the United States,
died at his home in Bangor last night,
aged ninety-fiye years and three months.
He had been in good health up to within a
few weeks, and attended, regularly to his
Office practice, having within a month
appeared in court in Bangor.
Mr.. Paine was born in Winslow, and
prepared in the schools there for Water
vile college, now Colby, whence ne was
graduated in 1892. He was the sole sur
vivor OF his class and the oldest alumnus
Of the college. He was admitted to the
practice of law at the Penobscot bar May
%, 1885, and has ever since resided and
practiced his profession in Bangor.
He was the author of some important
statutes OF Maine, was Names first State
bank examiner and insurance commits
sioner, framing the laws of those import
ant departments, and organized the law
taxing railroads and insurance companies.
He secured the passage OF the statute en-
abling an accused criminal to testify in
his own behalf, and this he regarded as
his greatest achievement in law.
He was also the author of the law which
permits capital case to be reviewed by
the law court after verdict OF guilty has
been rendered, and gives the court au-
thority to set aside the verdict il not
deemed to be warranted by the evidence.

There is growing realiza cation ofthe
fact that the West is for Taft for
President, as it believes him to be a
man of the same ideas and aims as
President Roosevelt. Politicians, as
well as representative and senators,
are arriving in great numbers for the
coming session, and the standing OF
the various states is not difficult to
obtain. "Kansas is for Taft" says
Victor Murdoch, representative OF
the seventh Kansas district. "Of
course he does not evoke that stirring
enthusiasm that the mere mention of
President Roosevelt's name does, but
we are for him to man. We know,
beyond doubt, that when President
Roosevelt said he would not again be
a candidate for the presidency he
meant every word of it.' And this
seems to be the attitude of the West
generally, as voiced by those states
man and politicians now in Washing
ton.
