DEGREE MASON DIES
SUNDAY MORNING.

John G. Jones, Old Resident Of Chi
cago and Well Known Attorney,
Passes Away After Long illness
Noted Character In City's History.
John G.. Jones, Imperial Potentate
of the World, died at his residence,
3717 Federal street, early Sunday
morning after an illness that had con-
fined him to his home for about a
week Mr.. Jones had been i'll for two
years, and sought medical aid in Eu-
rope. Two weeks ago his limbs be-
gan to swell but he did not give up
until Wednesday.
Mr.. Jones was a lawyar by profes-
sion and as such was one of the most
noted characters in the city. He
made a specially of criminal cases,
and, being man of quick temper, he
resented any difference of opinion and
thereby won the sobriquet of 'Indig-
nation" and as Indignation Jones"
he was familiarly known. The degree
of Imperial Potentate was conferred
on him during the Worlds Fair by
the Potentate from Australia. His
Office gave him jurisdiction through
out this country, Africa and the Isles
of the Sea, authorizing him to confer
the Shriners degree. Friction arose
and there was split in the Grand
Lodge of Masons, Mr.. Jones being
recognized by one faction and not by
another. He was one of the early
members of the Illinois Legislature
and the father of the civil rights bill
that has been amended from time to
time by his successors. Funeral ser
vices were held at his late residence
Wednesday afternoon. Adelbert H.
Roberts was master Of ceremonies.
Rev. ]. C. Anderson, pastor of Quinn
Chapel church, was the officiating
clergyman. The other speakers were
w. Allison Sweeney, Edw. H. Morris
The pallbearers were S. B. Turner, w
H. Davis, Walter Farmer, James
Brewington, BENJAMIN Johnson, AL
bert Morgan. Interment was at Oak
wood cemetery.

full. Large crowds enjoyed the Con-
ference until the session ended The
unity, love and cohesion that exist in
the ministerial rank is indicative of
better times for the people, and is an
incentive for racial uplift. Noticeable

Drs. Ransom, Thomas, Owens, Will
liams, Allen, H. II. Jones, F. H. Jones,
Wells, Treadwell, McLain, Wheeler,

and many others. The A. NJ. E. Zion
laity was well represented by Mr..
Fields, Abernathy, Coyington, Brewer,
Mrs. Bledsaw and DR.. Thompkins.
Rev. ]. w. Carter was elected re-
porter to the city papers and DR.. T.
w. Wallace, editor of the Western
Star of Zion, published in st. Louis,
was elected reporter to the connec-
tional papers. On the Sabbath, Law
yer Galloway gave short talk and
then that matchless orator and editor,
Hon. N. G. Crews was introduced, who
after paying a beautiful tribute to
the Bishop for the profound, classical
and eloquent sermon, spoke of the
possibilities for Zion in this city, and
in high terms complimented.the pastor
for the work accomplished and mighty
achievements in so short time. The

Afternoon Teas Popular.
The big champion is still conducting
his afternoon teas. At these sessions
Johnson does some real boxing, shad-

medicine ball, skips the rope and does
numerous other things, to the delight
of fashionable men and women who
pay money for the privilege of seeing

there is danger of the gnawing OF
young trees by rabbits or other ro-

Some winter work on the orchard
may be done In the comfort of the liv-
ing room, and this is In making a
map of the newly set orchard, with
each variety of tree clearly indicated
in case the labels on the trees become
detached.
Also a new set of labels may be pre-
pared for all trees and shrubs, the
particular varieties of which may be
forgotten IL the work Is longer neg
