world and even more. The car has been
mCanada, every state in the Union, and
Mexico In this time the office help of
the company has been tracing it all the
fine. They would no more than get it
located ON one road than they would
learn that 1t had been shipped to an
other road with a carload of provisions

dates what the candidates were made to
believe was the degree of Masonry that
would cnttIe them to affiliate with law
tuI MasonS. They have, it is said, cir
cuIar eypIalning the purpose and rites"
winch they confer On account of this,
Lee S llIlotson, grand master OF the
Masonic fraternity in Vermont, has is
sued letter which concludes as follows
$50 far as | am able to ascertain
George A. Iaber and his assistants are
SIMPLY au association, or the representa-
treS OF an association, making bust
ness Of comforting their so-called degrees
for private gain They claim to be in
corporated under the laws of Massachu
sets, but that does not alter their rela-
uon to the Grand lodge of Free and Ac-
ctpted Masons of Vermont. In short
they are what we term 'imposters. >"
