nASONS
TO BUILD Temple
Committee Recommends s.
Story Building at Reid and
Fourth Streets.

Palatka'S progressive ideas have wig
gled their way into the secret reccsses
of the Masonic Lodge room and have
been not only admitted to permanent
membership, but elected 10 a prominent
place in the councils of the lodge.
Masonry is some jinkS here in Palatka;
the membership is large and as is the
case in most other cities, is composed
OF the very creme de la creme of our
business and professional men. Most of
/ them have been associated with RoyS-
ter so long that they some times find
themselves undecided as to whether
| they owe first allegiance TO the board
of trade and Roystcr or 10 the blue
lodge and the royal arch. At present
The Masonic lodge room is in the third
floor of the Moragnc building; it has
been there since before some of the
members were born. The room is not
large enough 10 accommodate the
growing membership, and it is an
tiquated-not in keeping with modern
Masonic thought. A new place was
inevitable; something must be done;
why not a temple of their own?
Some months ago the lodge had this
matter first under discussion with the
result that 4 committee consisting of
Judge E. L Haskell, chairman, and
MeSSrs. c. f. Rowton. r. II. Cooper,
Henry Hutchinson Sr., DR.. Z. w. War
rem, Howell A. Davis, w. G. Tilghman,
pointed to take into consideration the
matter of purchasing LOT and erecting
thereon Masonic Temple.
This committee has been diligently
at work on that proposition and at
regular meeting of the lodge last Friday
night made a report favorable TO the
project
The report in brief recommended u)
that the LOT so "A feet at the corner of
Reid and Fourth streets, now occupied
by Reeds stable be purchased; ~ that a
5-Story reinforced concrete building be
erected thereon at the approximate cost
of S55, 600; 90 that the committee be
empowered TO employ competent arch
itect TO furnish plans for the building.
Each and all OF the recommendation
in this report were adopted by the
lodge unanimously and the committee
was authorized 10 proceed TO the work
without unnecessary delay.
1t has not been decided whether the
ground floor will be fitted up for store
or office purposes, but the second, third
and fourth floors will be arranged for
offices and flats, and the fifth floor will
be reserved for the exclusive use of the
various Masonic bodies.
1t is the purpose to have the building
equipped with every modern convent
ence-Steam heat, electric elevator, etc,
and we are assured by the leading Ma
sons that the completed building will
not only be credit 10 the Masonic fra.
ternity but TO the city.
Judge Haskell, chairman of the com
mittee on The building, is a past Grand
Master of Florida, and was a member
OF the building committee in charge of
the building of the Jacksonville temple.

Mexico City.--Francisco /. Madert
and Jose Pine Suarez are dead. Ii
midnight ride under guard from
the national palace to the peniten

The circumstances surrounding the
death of the deposed president and
vice president of the republic are un
known, except as given in official ac
counts, which do not in all cases con,
form. The only witnesses were those
actually concerned in the killing.
The provisional president, Gen. Vic,
torlano Huerta, says the killing of the
two men was incidental to a fight be-
tween their guard and a party at.
tempting to liberate them.
Not unnaturally a great part of the
public regard the official versions
with doubt, having in mind the use
for centuries of the notorious LEY
Fuga," the unwritten law which is in
voked when the death of a prisoner
is desired. After its application there

sations at the officers who barred the

"Cowards!" "Assassins!" she call,

"The Newlyweds and Their Baby
"The Newlyweds and Their Baby
a musical comedy built around a
group Of cartoon characters familiar
to every newspaper reader, will como
to Kalbfeld's Grand tonight. This
attraction serves once more to call
attention to the achievement of an
artist. George McManus invented
"The Newlyweds" and his pictures
are as famous as those Of Buster
Brown and the army of other mis-
chievous youngsters. The chief fl
cures in the play that has been made
are Mr.. and Mrs. Newlywed, Napo-
leon Newlywed, the baby; and The
Big Black Bear. The story is fan
tastic, but the complications are said
to be so numerous and cOmical that
an entertainment of the jolliest kind
results. 1t appears that one Prof.
Nichol, has a sort of a museum in
which he exhibits a midget, "Major
Knott Much" This attraction, wea-
rying of routine duties, runs away
from the museum taking with him
the Big Black Bear, which is his con-
slant companion. Prof. Nichol, fac
ing certain ruin if he cannot find an
other attraction to take the place of
Major Knott Much, learns that the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Newlywed looks
precisely like his runaway midget
lie succeeds in kidnapping the baby
aided thereto by the UNCONSCIOUS Mrs
Newlywed, and for a time there is a
furry of excitement over the loss of
the baby and the efforts to recover
him. Everyone suspects everyone
else of having a hand in the kidnap
ping, and matters are put right only
after the most hopeless mIsunder-
standings are brought about.
The company which has been en-,
gagged to illustrate this lively story
on the stage includes many familiar
and popular performers.

few FOLKS HAVE
. GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-known Local Druggist Says
Everybody Is Using 0ld-time re-
j. cipe Of Sage Tea And Sulphur

Hair that loses it color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to. keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old time recipe.
= Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture. by asking at any drug store for
a so cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides, it takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw
this : through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but
what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also
bringsab ack the gloss and lustre and
gives it an appearance Of abundance.

Start Any Time, Stay As Long As
You Wish, And Return At
Your Leisure

All board! Get ready for a trip to
the great Panama Canal. :.
1t isn't a boat trip, nor it is trip

What then?
Why, nothing less than a step into
the front door of Panama, on through
the Isthmus by easy stages, and out
into the Pacific ocean without even
wetting the sole of shoe.
How's it all done?
The Pioneer gives you the oppor-
,tunity through a beautiful big illus
trated book called " Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose-" This
book tells you of the strange natives
fof the Canal zone, their character
is,tics and customs; also their cos
tunes, which are designed to show
more of their anatomy than is shown
even in polite circles of modern So
ciety; it portrays the beauties of the
Jungle, the floating islands, the flow
iers and trees of this wonderful
tropical country. A II of these fea-
lures are described in beautiful word
pictures, intermingled with rare il
Illustrations, many of which are made
from water-color studies and repro
duced in splendid full pages in their
natural colorings. r.:
This volume then becomes a source
of education to every one, who pos
|sesses it. Everybody should know
of the wonders of the great canal and
its surroundings territory. The entire
story is told in this magnificent book
The Pioneer has arranged to pre-
|sent these volumes to readers as ex-
planned in the Panama certificate
which is printed daily in these col
umns. Six of these certificates are re-
Iquired together with small expense
amount to cover the mere items Of
the cost of distri button. No such OPP
portunity was ever before offered to
get a volume of this character for
only the amount of the expense in
volved in the transaction.

thus they enjoyed lunch together, and

meal Stranleigh and Hazel walked to-
gether on the main deck, until the
latter, admitting he was somewhat
tagged after the exciting events of the
day, went off to his cabin, and
Stranleigh was left alone to smoke
a final cigar. He leaned on the rail,
and gazed meditatively at the smooth
sea.
IT was an ideal evening. and Stran-

world. There exists a popular belief
that the rich are overburdened with

immense amount had been bequeathed
him, and he made many millions more
than he had parted with, although he
claimed this was merely because of a
series of flukes, maintaining that
whenever he set to work that part of
him known as his brain, he invariably
came a crOpper.
you are Mr.. Trevelyan, are you
not?" said a very musical feminine
voice at his elbow. Stranleigh turned
in surprise, and saw before him most
charming young woman. He lung his
partially consumed cigar into the sea.
Yes" he replied, easily, my name
is Trevelyan. How did you know?"
That rare smile came to his lips; a
smile, people said, which made you
feel instinctively you could trust him;
and many ladies who were quite will
ing to bestow their trust, called it fas-
cinating.

II am sure of it. However, your

a welcome respite and thinking over
