were early members. Col. William
Wheeler, great grandfather of Hi
ram Ricker's sons of the great Po-
land Springs Marine Hotel, was one
of Peacham's early Masons. Guy
Chamberlin, father of the late Mrs.
Sarah Donehue, (who died a few
weeks ago) was the last secretary.
His family kept the old charter and
after a sleep of 79 years, Mrs.
Donehue gave it to a friend who
gave it to the Grand Lodge at Bur
lington. The Jewels were sold by
the Chamberlin family to a tin ped
Ter for two dozen silver spoons. The
Bible used in Ancient Landmark
lodge in 1882 was given to the
Methodist church in Peacham, or
ganized about that time, as a pulpit
Bible, but the Anti-Masonic senti-
ment was so strong famed by Rev.
Leonard Worcester, (who was made
a Mason in 1903 in Pentucket
Lodge, Chelmsford, now Lowell,
Mass, and who recanted) that the
Bible was stolen from the church
one night and never seen again.
1t was considered a sin to use
a Bible that a society like the
Masons had used. The first home
of the writer in Peacham was with
one of the most rabid Anti Masons,
Capt Luther Bailey. The house
was located on the present site of
the large barn of Frank G.
Shaw.

are certain to bring them down
where they should be in the early
future.
The country is beginning to fully
realize how it has been ridden and
robbed by the express and likewise
by the telegraph and telephone com
panies in all the days of the past
since they have operated as they
/ pleased, and the opening wedge in
congressional action is seen in the
parcels post movement and the ten
tative proposition to acquire the
express business, both in the pres
ent postofice bill. The rural par
cells post idea will be accepted by
the senate, though possibly not ex-
actly in the form in which it came
from the house.
In the senate most of the first half
of last week was devoted to a serial
speech by Senator Works of Cali
fornia in opposition to the bill to
establish a national department of
public health. This bill has been
ferociously attacked all over the
country by people who see in it an
attempt to establish an orthodox
medical trust" and Senator Works
speech opposed it from the Christian
Science standpoint. Whether just
ly or not, the opposition to the bill
is so strong that it's author, Senator
Owen, has asked that it be postpon-
ed until next session.
Lorimer Has Broken Down.
Senator Dillingham; is making
every possible effort to advance the
Lorimer case to an early decision,
but the work of the session is so dis
rupted and disarranged that it is
almost impossible to successfully
press any one subject at the eX-
pense of another. 1t is understood
here on the best of authority that
Senator Lorimer has been in a san
itarium for severel weeks under
treatment for serious nervous
breakdown consequent on his trial,
supplemented by the Illinois cleo
ton, and that he is yet in bad shape.
Nevertheless, Senator Dillingham; is
yet in hopes that the matter can be
brought to a focus within the next
few weeks.
Senator Page is yet working in
dustriously on his vocational edu-
cational bill, continually perfecting
it in various details, and feels more
encouraged than ever that the meas
ure will finally emerge triumphantly
from it's gauntlet of fire. Certain
ly it seems to be winning new
friends all over the country contin-
ually.
May Shift From Taft.
The presidential sitution-if it
can be called such-in both parties
and all over is yet involved and bur
led in such clouds of mud and dust
that nothing can be clearly distin-
guished or safely predicted. There
is now no doubt that Taft will go to
Chicago with more than sufficient
votes to nominate him, but whether
this will be advisable after going
there and looking the ground over
is a question that is now being ser
iously discussed here. There is much
food for thought in the fact that
many things are possible which are
not expedient.
Among the democratic entries
Clark looms far above all others,
with Underwood a good second. And
yet, the unforeseen is quite likely to
butt in and wreck any slate before
the nomination is actually made.
Well, the ever living Barnum and
Bailey are to give a street parade
in few minutes, and l must gear
up the Only Boy for quick action.

In the words Of the old timer, in
the midst of strife we are out of
breath. That was probably prop
hecy as to the present year of poll
tical disgrace, where the hand <of
every man is against his wife and
all her relatives and vica versa, and
the roar of the refOrmer-for-reYen
only is heard in the land even unto
the back pastures.
Congress is trying mighty hard to
so arrange its business that it can
lock up and start on it's annual sum-
mer vacation along about June 10th,
but whether it can move fast enough
to accomplish this end is as yet a
question. Both houses scent the
battle from afar and from every
where else and they want to go
hence and get right into it's midst,
but they don't seem to be able to
let go. Nevertheless, much can be
done when the sign is just right, and
June 10 is yet a likely date.
The house pounded away for near
ly three weeks on the postofice ap-
preparation bill, and finally passed
it with the provision included for
trying out the parcels post system
on the rural delivery routes. Eleven
pounds in weight is made the limit
A commission of members of con-
gress is also authorized which will
investigate the whole question of
a parcels post during the vacation of
congress and next winter recommend
a bill as a compromise out of the
dozens before them on the subject.
IT is also 0uita like1v that cOnsidpr-
able progress will be made with the
proposition that the government by
some means secure possession and
operate the express business of the
country. The people are wholly out
of patience with the extortionate

large number were present and a
very enjoyable evening spent. This
reception was very much out of
the ordinary. The girls were in
troduced to the boys instead of vice
versa as usual. The play " A Mys-

same line with the reception. The
first march was lead by the recep-

"Old Heidelberg" the classic drama
of German university life. Is the Of
fering Of Vaughan CHASER and his
company In the Lyceum theater this
week, and II received a hearty recep-
ton from the Sunday audiences. As
play II Is full OF life and color and
the enthusiasm Of youth with the
shadow OF responsibility in sombre
contrast.
Besides the picture Of student life
there is also a picture OF the life OF
kings, and II Is not so pleasant as II
Is sometimes imagined to be. The
play puts strong emphasis on the
loneliness Of the life Of royalty set
apart from their fellowmen and un-
able to taste the joys Of comradeship.
Vaughan Chaser as Karl Heinrich,
heir apparent to the throne or
Sachsen- Karlsberg, brought up for the
first 20 years OF his life within a lone
ly castle and then suddenly loosed
into Heidelberg, scores success. he
puts a remarkable amount OF youtnful
enthusiasm into the part and yet
there IL a dignity which asserts itself
when the call comes.
Miss Courteney has the role OF
Kathie. the inn-keeper's niece, who
finds the young prince quite as human
as Ills fellowEtudents. She Is especi-

which gives him plenty of latitude for
getting the laughs. Eva Sullivan plays
the part of Mrs. Henpeck. and Arthur
Laning elicits some droll sympathy as
the down-trodden husband.
