MINGLING OF BRETHREN.

1t was generally agreed that the
scenes and incidents in connection
with the visit of William L. Elkins
Lodge of Masons of Philadelphia to
Alexandria Washington Lodge OF this
city last night will have formed
green spots in the hearts of members
of the craft in Alexandria and those
of the City of Brotherly Love. There
was genuine flow of soul from start
to finish, and the sentiment Of the OLD
hymn, "Blest Be The Tie That Binds,
was in evidence.
The mingling of Philadelphia and
Alexandria Masons brought to the
minds of those present "reminiscences
of past days in the country's history
Though separated by the unfortunate
cloud which lowered over the nation
in 1861 and which cast many pleas
ant memories into temporary echpS"
the fact was brought to mind that
while Masons in the Quaker City were
ringing the bell in independence iai'
after our forefathers had signed the
Declaration of Independence, Georg;
Washington, Master of the Alexandra
Lodge, was holding conferences witt
Alexandrians in Christ Church yard
after services one Sunday concern
inc the course to be pursued by the
colonies in the fight for freedom. li
those days the joys and SORROWS OF
Philadelphia and Alexandria were one
they bore each others burdens. Las
night they were participating in th'
fruits of the crop oft sown in tears D!
DISTINGUISHED members Of the craft II
old Belle Haven and the city OF VIII
fam Penn.
All felt that it was good for them u
nave been there. The speeches Wer'
animating, each brother called to M
feet being at his best, and patno
and humor were never more III cVl
dence.
The Philadelphians left at lat
hour greatly enthused by their eNpe
rience in old Alexandria, while tn
local brethren wended their way T.
their homes more impressed than eve
with the principles of an order wh'ci
has rode out the storms of time an
still stands as rock though occasi
onally amid angry pillows.

preservation, and self-prese1yation Is
said totbe the first law Of nature. Self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is too often made al
excuse for preying upon the inirml-
ties of the weak, or rising upon the
ruins of others. The Apostle Paul
said: The strong ought to bear the
infrmities of the weak"
con the contrary, in the mad rush
for wealth, fame, success, dignitles,
power, case, and all the delights OF
selfish qualification, the strong are apt
to trample upon the rights Of the
weak, and increase their own power
and means and strength by preyins
upon the inirmities of the weak.
Out of this root Of selfshness have
come all the despotism, capacities
and the frauds against the widow and
the orphans,the chicanery and thlev-
cry in corporations and trusts, the
oppression and debasement of woman
hood and the inhumanities to mankind.
Graft and greed is the common and
popular name for it. The refnements
of methods by which strength makes
merchandise of the weakness Of the
infirm may cover up the brutality OF
the instinct, but does not change 1t.
1t is the foulest blot upon our mod
ern civilization.
WARS, from the earliest predatory
feuds of the Goths and Vandals, and
the campaigns of Napoleon and Alex
ander and Caesar, down to the mod
ern cruelties and jnhumanities Of Tur-
key, have been for the most part the
determination to eXalt self at the ex-
pense of others. In this more humane
age Of ours we. often stand aghast al
the methods by which the weak are
taken advantage of by the strong.
"This is largely true of individuals
and in business and in the Industries
of today, as well as among nations.
The Spartans placed the defornied and
the cripple out Of Mount Taygetus
to perish land it is alleged that some
of the North American Indians cast
out the old and infirm to perish from
starvation or be devoured By wild
beasts. The Roman conquerors, FOR the
sake of Standardization tied their
victims to the chariot wheels and drag
ged them along the streets IN tn
umphal procession"

Condemned Man Cuts His Throat.

Richmond, Nov. 15.--In an attempt
to cheat the electric chair Of its prey,
Harvey Looney, condemned to die on
November 23 for the murder Of o.
NJ. Martin, town sergeant of New
Castle, slashed his own throat
Tuesday morning in the Craig
County Jail when he learned
that the penitentiary guards had
come to take him 10 Richmond. His
attempt on his life failed and he is
now lodged in a death cell in the pen
itentiary.
Immediately after shooting Town
Sergeant Martin, Looney turned his
revolver on himself and fired bullet
into his abdomen, but the physicians
in the Clifton Forge Hospital saved
him in spite of himself.
When Locney heard that the prison
guards had come to take him 70 the
penitentiary he plugged the lock OF
his cell to prevent interruption and
slashed his throat. His struggles
were overheard by the .jai}er. who
forced an entrance to the cell in time
to Staunch the flow Of blood and save
lis life.
