mAsous COMING TO ALEXANDRIA

The Masonic Chronicler, published II
Chicago, of Saturday last says.
Representatives OF the Grand Lodge
of Michigan will make pilgrimage te
Alexandria, Va, next month for the
purpose of assisting Alexandria-Wash
ington Lodge of the Virginia town II
celebrating Washington's birthday
The Michigan brethren will perform
the work according TO the Michigan
ritual. Last year delegation from
Illinois made the trip and conferred the
Master Mason's degree on descendant
Of George Washington, using at the
time the same chair used by General
Washington as Master, the same trowel
with which he laid the cornerstone OF
the United States Capitol building al
Washington, the lesser light that was
used at Washington's funeral ana
wearing the same apron that Nine. La,
favctte made and presented to Generai
Washington, and which, it may be salo
in passing has been in use only iour
times since the death Of the general.
The Michigan brethren will leave de-
troit on a special train at 9 p. m, sun
day, February 10, and will return tc'
Detroit Saturday, February 20. Brother
Ora E. Chaplin, P. NJ, OF Damascus
Lodge, and Brother VIM. r. Payne, OF
Chicago, will accompany the rcpresen-
tatiyes OF tho Grand Lodge OF Michigan
on this trip.
A second meeting Of the Washington
Masonic Memorial association will be
held for the purpose of final orgln!za-
ton. This body was created last year
by score or more OF Grand Masters
who attended the Washington services
on Washiogton's birthday, and will
now perfect its plans for raising the
funds necessary to build the temple
memorial TO Washington the Mason.
That this project may have national
character, the proposed temple when
built will be thrown open to the world,
that every citizen OF the republic may
visit and sec the multitude OF sacred
and priceless relics and memorabilia
this old lodge owns, showing many q
connecting link in the carly history of
the country which would otherwise be
lost. Also the Masons Of the United
States will be welcomed as aids IN this
great and glorious undertaking, and
undoubtedly soon condition will be
created by which the Masons OF the
United States, either individually or as
lodges, can contribute to the erection
of this proposed impcrishablc temple
to the memory of the father OF our
country.

to the state opening on next Monday,
when King George and Queen Mary
will attend in regal splendor.
Aside from the reelection OF Speaker

renee Ginnell, an Irish nationalist,
objected to the reelection Of Lowther,
asserting that ho had proved himself
subservient to the party machine and
had used his office to muzzle other
members.

roar OF anger from the other members
and he quickly subsidized for fear that
he might be forcibly elected.
The election OF the speaker is Away:
considered iornality, the recipient o
the honor always being agreed upor
before the session opens.
