FINDS MASONIC PIN
LOST MANY YEARS

Charleston, June 3O.-A Masonic
emblem pin which he lost 33 years
ago has just come back to William M.
Bird of this city from Madison, Wis.
having been restored by a Mason of
that city who picked it up two years
ago In the railroad station at Chicago.
About two weeks ago letter was
received at the Charleston postoffice
addressed to the secretary of Solo
mons lodge, No. I, of Charleston. AS
Postmaster j. NJ. Poulnot is the sec
retary of Solomon's lodge, the letter
came very readily and promptly into
the hands of it's addresse. It was
from P. B. Turner of Madison, Wis,
who stated that he had a small Ma
sonic pin inscribed with the name of
w. NJ. Bird, Solomon lodge, and asked
If there was such a person in Char
lesion and if he could identify the pin
as his property Mr.. Turner would
like to send it to him. Secretary
Poulnot was for many years associat-
ed in business with Mr.. Bird and had
also sat many times with him in Sol
omon's lodge, of which they are both
past masters. He put the letter into
Mr.. Birds hands at once and Mr..
Bird communicated with Mr.. Turner,
identifying the pin as his. BY an
early mail it came to him, together
with letter from Mr.. Turner telling
the circumstances under which il
came into his possession.
In 1881, that is to say 33 years ago.
the pin, together with chain and
pendant belonging to Mrs. Bird, were
missed from a dressing table in Mr..
Birds residence shortly after some
workmen had finished job of repair
ing. 1t is presumed that one of the
men took the articles, but no clue to
them could be found nor anything to
warrant arrest. Long since hope of
recovering the jewels was abandoned.
The Masonic pin had been given to
Mr.. Bird by friend in New York
and was marked with his name and
that of his lodge. 1t was a small
gold emblem showing the square and
compasses and the trowel, working
tools of the Masons. :
Mr.. Turner says that two years ago,
while he was waiting for a train in
Chicago, he picked up the pin from
the floor of the railroad station, and
intended to take up at once the restor-
alton of the emblem to it's owner, but
had forgotten about it and only re-
Gently recalled it when he came across
the pin in box where he had put it
away.
How the pin came to Chicago and
through what hands it has passed
since it was taken from Mr.. Birds
house in Charleston third of CEN
tury ago, would make, no doubt, an
interesting history. The only evil
dence the pin gives of it's having ex-
perienced vicissitudes is the absence
of the handle of the trowel, on which
was the catch for the fastening, anG
it is not unlikely that the breaking
of this was the cause of its. falling in
the station at Chicago whereby it
came into the hands of Mr.. Turner
and so back to its rightful owner.

Along with the photograph Senator
Tillman has sent statement in which
