shoulders of the majordomo, and the
most careful inspection of every arti-

not unfamiliar were uncommon, he

Decoto, in Alameda county enter
tanned the people Of jackson in a
most pleasing manner. The band is
composed of fifteen of the twenty six
boys now at the home, all of them
being under the age Of sixteen. The
music furnished would compare
tavorably with bands made up of
older people, and with "a longer
organization. Accompanying the band
was an orchestra from San francisco,
which gave several selections. James
e. Dye, secretary Of the jackson
lodge OF Masons. made q few remarks
as to the government OF the nome,
and the object of the tour of the
boys. He said that those eligible for
admission are any master Mason in
good standing, who is unable to sup
port himself; the wife of Mason
already an inmate of the home;
widow of Mason, or the orphan of
a Mason who is unable to support
himself, or secure support. They
must all he free from disease. as it is
intended that it shall Ee a home and
not a hospital. The boys are taught
printing. agriculture and music.
