the revelations unfolded by him at the
first grand ceremonial session of Almas
during his term. which took place at the
National Rifles Armory last evening and
was followed by the customary "tradi-
tional banquet at old Masonic Hall, at
9th and + streets northwest.

The beauties of the ritual. which the

said to have moved the aged sheik to
admiration, but when the interpretations
began he is said to have raised his hands
and with genuine surprise depicted on his
ancient countenance to have exclaimed,
Dear me, what next?' This was the
incident, known to the initiates, that
aroused the widest enthusiasm that has
characterized a shrine session in 10! these

eyes of the mobiles to be turned toward
their newly elected potentate, w. Hamil-
