Many of the older firemen last night
recalled the time when the old Della
ware truck stood at Delaware avenue
and Tatnall street and used their
water tower to throw water into the
blazing gallery of the theatre. That
was on October %, 1888, when the
Academy of Music, conducted by
Proctor and Saulier, as it was known,
was burned down.
After working until 1890 o'clock
this morning. the firemen got the fire
under control. Chief Magill had sew
eral companies to remain until 3
o'clock this morning.
During the height of the fire John G.
Gormlcy. foreman OF the Reliance Fire
Company, entered the building and
shortly afterwards he fell in the pit
among some chairs. John McGowan and
Lewis Cash, members of the same com.
pany. missing their foreman. entered the
building at the risk of their own lives
and dragged tbcir leader into the opci
air.
During the fire the liremcn who were
suffering greatly from cold were served

BY "Bill" McGowan.

The Rookwood FIVE visited Brown
son Hall last Friday night and be-
fore their departure for the big city
they were presented with Christmas
present wrapped in neat trimming,
3S to 2S.
McGarvey, a former Delaware Col
lege lad was in the visitors lineup.
He can say he played against the
best forward in the State.
Those New York State League play
ers were no doubt good basketball
men. but if they were stars in that
circuit we will take our own Haney
and Burke combination.
In the three games played by the
Brownson speed kings. Doc Haney
has tossed only twenty-four field
goals. He's team all to himself.
Johnny Burke landed only thirteen
foul goals against Rookwood
The Vincome team will be the visi-
tors at Brownson Hall on Friday even
ing. Vincome played Company G Of
Dover on Saturday night and manag-
ed TO win out by an Is to score.
Burke and Rigney were in the lineup
of the Dover boys and that helped
some.
The crowds at Brownson Hall are
increasing. There are reasons.
Joe Haney. the Joe Fogarty of
Brownson Hall will give an exhibition
of goal shooting on Friday night in
the Vincome game.
Haney, besides shooting two-point-
ers for the speed demons. is coach
ing the Eden basketball team.
Leo Walsh is rapidly rounding into
shape The husky guardsman is do
ing shadow boxing between halves to
reduce weight
The Brownson seconds lost their
first game of the season to the Strag-
glers. Although defeated the McCart-
ney products were always in the fight.
They are open to meet the best teams
In the city. Manager Mccartney is
now trying TO book the Eden Athletic
Club Eden should prove a strong at
traction at Fourth and Jackson
streets.
Bucky Mccullough has decided to
quit the game. He will be missed
by the seconds.
Bud O'Neil and Bill Long are starr
ing for the seconds these days. Both
lads are fast floor men and good
shots.
II is a pleasure to the fans to see
how easily Joe Haney cages field
goals. II can't be done without the al,
of net.

With over one thousand
names upon the craft rosters Of
this city why may we not erect
a fine temple which would not
only properly accommodate u
meetings, but supply larger
conveniehces for the entertain
ment of the public. This must
be done at some time. Why not
do it soon? Masonry has a
ways taken pride in big enter
prises and in doing big things.
The public looks to us as to no
one else for these things anu
we owe it to our obligations as
we'll as to our traditions to full
fill the demand. If Grand Mas
ter Crews, like our first grand
master, can succeed in inspiring
such an undertaking it will
surely stand as a great monu-
ment to the zeal which he so
generously possesses and will
yield a reSult NOT only PLACING
his name high upon the scroll of
leaders, but carrying a blessing
throughout years to come. with
a structure of sufficient size con-
trolled by us, it would be an
easy matter to have the Grand
Lodge permanently located in
Kansas City. This would be Ma
sonic headquarters. The trav-
cling Grand Lodge is fast going
out of style everywhere as the
brethren grow more and moro
weary of the process. Soon
there will be a cry for a per
manent seat and we should be
ready to supply it.

The question ofttimes arises in the
minds of Bible students, who are the
spirits in prison and why are they
there?" The answer heretofore given
was unsatisfactory to all students of
the Bible. 1t has been stated that
those spirits are human beings who
died before the flood and when Christ
was dead three days, he was in He'll
preaching to them. Let us take Gods
word, He is his own interpreter. He
will take the Scripture for our Guide.
If Christ is dead He could not do any

not anything. They have no memory.
