MASONIC.

Some of these days some brave Ma
sons are going to get together and
rewrite the burial ceremonies for each
of the departments so as not only to
shorten them, but to bring them into
touch with modern spirit.
Each ceremony appears to have
been written without regard for any
other and the higher the rank of the
degree, the longer and more tedious
are the ceremonies. They are posi-
lively tiresome, especially as they are
usually carried out.
There was a time when ceremon-
les were interesting to the public,
but the time has passed. What for
merly interested them now bores
them and the demand for reforms will
not be stilled much longer. Perhaps
it would be better to carry out all the
ceremonies in private, thus making a
better showing of sincerity in our
grief and eliminate the physical en-
durance features of our public appear

tainment was in evidence, including
climbing the creased pole, foot races,
sack races, and a thrilling ball game
between the white team of Marysville
and the Colored team of Atchison. An
exhibition drill was given by the Pala-
tine Guards of Atchison, Kas.. in the
evening, on the public square. after
which the X. P. Band, under the lead
ership of Prof. Dan Desdunes, the
most brilliant and versatile composer
and director of the race, which evoked
storms of applause from the thousands
who had gathered in the public square
to listen to what was pronounced by
all the most pleasing program ever
rendered in that city. The committee
consisting of Frank Smart, Oliver

credit for this brilliant and successful
celebration. They expect to celebrate

The second annual Carnival Of All
Nations under the auspices of Allen
Chapel and Ebenezer A. M. e.
churches closed Sunday night, August
2, after very successful three weeks
encampment. The attendance was
large, excelling any previous year. The
mammoth parade led by King Meme
lik, wife and baby, was very attrac-
tive feature. Both churches outdid
themselves in point of hospitality. The
singing of both choirs, Allen under
the leadership of Prof. Jackson, and
Ebenezer under the leadership of Miss
Effle Grant, were features to add much
interest and enjoyment to the carni-
val. Many beautiful selections were
rendered, and while all enjoyed them
selves in the merriment of carnival,
the spiritual side was not neglected
for during the carnival six powerful
sermons were preached by the emf
nent pulpitarian, the Rev. DR.. William
H. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel,
and the energetic and soul-stirring di-
vine, the Rev. w. c, Williams. pastor
of EbeneZer. Many new additions were
received into both churches.
