A regular meeting of Washington Lodge
was held on Wednesday evening with the
usual large attendance, regardless Of the
weather. Many new applications for
membership were presented.
F. J. Mersheimer, chairman of the flag
day committee. made a full report to the
lodge as to the program for the cele-
bration of this occasion. The affair will
be conducted at the Elks' Club on Mon
day evening. June Is. Congressman
O'Reilly, of Connecticut, has consented
to honor the lodge with his presence as
speaker of the evening, and a number
OF Washington's local talent have prof.
fered their aid. After the services, the
lodge will be entertained by the board
of stewards. This. in itself. and the past
good work already done by this commit
tee, ought to insure a very large at
tendance.
Samuel Richards. as chairman of the
committee for visiting the sick, reported
that all members who had been confined
to their homes or hospitals during the
past week or ten days are improving.
Brother w. ]. Thorpe, one of the young
er members of the lodge. entertained with
a very interesting talk in connection with
his travels in the West, especially his
experiences in Pueblo. Colo.
very fitting tribute was paid by the
lodge to the memory of the sailors and
marines who gave up their lives in the
defense of their country and the honor of

that an appropriation be made for that
purpose. A mistaken idea of the ulti-
mate object OF this association seemed
to be prevalent among some Of our grand
jurisdictions, in thinking that the OBJ
ject was to provide a local lodge room
for our Masonic brethren in Alexan-
dria, when the primary and controlling
idea is to provide a safe and secure de-
positary for the priceless Masonic relics
now the individual property Of our Alex
andria brethren.
"A conservative value Of these relics
was stated to be between $500. 900 and
s. o0o, 600. and 1t was stated that an offer
approximating those amounts had been
received from one OF our large Masonic
Jurisdictions IL a sale would be made.
"A personal and Masonic pride forbade
the parting with these mementoes, and
the belief that the great Masonic fra
ternity of this country would desire these
treasures. dear to the hearts Of US all.
should be securely protected. both from
fire and theft, has induced our brethren
of the lodge in which our illustrious
brother held his membership to appeal to
the craft at large for subscriptions to
build this memorial. Considerable prog
ress has already been made, and with the
added impetus of the official participa-
ton of grand chapters and grand COM
manderies the success OF the undertaking
seems to be assured"
