EARLY FREE MASONRY.

Rev. H. L. Bunstein addressed Templa
Lodge, No 9, A. F. and A. NJ, on last
Sunday in the Presbyterian Church.
We give a synopsis of portions of his
remarks.
The founder of the Lodge was General
Jesse Green, one of the most eminent
citizens of Delaware, a member of thirty
sessions of the Legislature. He is de-
scrlbed by the State historian as a studi-
Gus, retiring man, fond Of books, his
library being the largest in Sussex
County. He died in 1884 after a distin-
guished career.
Associated with him in the establish
ment of the Lodge were James Mile
chop and John Mitchell, during the early
part OF the last century, were prominent
men of this section. Their decendents
are still living in Milford.
Researches in the history of Free
Masonry show that in its beginnings,
as consequently, it enrolled in its mem
bership large numbers ofmen who have
reflected honor upon the States, Its first
Grand Master was Beaford, who. was
delegate to the Continental COngrAss. in
l783-S7, a member of the convent n
that formed the Constitution of the
United States and afterwards Judge Of
the United States Court.

their hearts delight, and to the enter

by Mrs. Elizabeth Thaw, later, proved
to be call to the floor of the older, and
also the parent-folk, music, popular at
a day when the irrestible rag time was
unknown, and steps in hesitation had
not been taken. The evening was thus
spent until the hour for departure came,
when expressions of pleasing charac-
ter made the event another record in
the history of the Milford New Century

ANNIVERSARY.

The country home of Representative
and Mrs. J. w. Short, near Milford, was
the scene of a happy gathering on last
Sunday, the occasion being the seventy
fifth birthday anniversary of their
mother, Mrs. Emma L. Short, of Will
mington. Mrs. Short is very remark
able woman for one of her age, and her
youthful looks and activity show that
Fate has dealt kindly with her. The
success of her seven children, all of
whom are living, prove her ability as a
capable mother. Her married life until
late years was spent on the Short home
stead, which is owned by her eldest son,
John w. (recently elected to the State
Legislature). Here all the children
with their families gathered to make
the event a memorable one. After
spending the day socially they were in
vited to the dining room where an elab
crate course dinner was served, which
consisted of the best to be had. In the
evening a number of friends called to
pay their respects and refreshments of
ice cream, angel cake, confections and
fruit were then served. A musical pro-
gram was given and pleasant evening
spent in exchanging greetings. The
home was artistically decorated with
evergreens, and the young lady of three
score years and fifteen occupied a seat
of honor. Mrs. Short was the recipient
of some handsome remembrances, the
greater part of which was in gold. She
also received a shower of one hundred
postal cards. Among those present were: |
Mr. and Mrs. ]. w. Short, Mr.. and Mrs. !
Whiteley Short and family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar w. Short and family, Mr..
and Mrs. George Bennett and family,
and Miss Louise Cubbage, of Milford, |
Mr.. and Mrs. John Mitchell Webb, Mr.,
and Mrs. Simeon Keen and family, Mr..
and Mrs. Lester E. Short and Mrs. ].
T. Long, all of Wilmington. They de-
parted after day not soon to be for
gotten, wishing Mrs Short many more
years of happiness.

SCHOOL NOTES.

School opened on Wednesday for the
winter term, losing few pupils by re-
moval. gaining a larger number of new
pupils, and with all teachers on hand
except Miss January, who decided to
spend a day or two in observing the
work in music in the schools of her
home city, Detroit. Shortly after her
return, Miss January will begin prep
arations for a music festival" to be
held in the spring.
The total enrolment of pupils for this
school year, to date, is 439.
Next week, Wednesday the 18th inst,
The Orpheans come to bring US an un-
usual musical feast. Observe the win
dow cards and read the circulars dis
tributed.
The remaining entertainments, two
concerts, and Eldredge the peer of the
best impersonators, are now offered for
s1.00. Single tickets will be 35 cents.
Keep the dates and join US in the rare
enjoyment of the last evenings. Why
not tell your friends in the country and
towns about them? Janu-
ary 18th, The Orphans ; February 18th,
Eldredge; March 1st, the Fisher Shipp
Company, giving one of the finest musi-
cal programs ever heard on a 1yceum
stage. Show US your appreciation of
an attempt to bring fine entertainments
to Milford, and we will try, next year,
to bring a larger number of good things
at no greater, possibly at lower, cost.
Surely Milford ought to rank with the
towns in its welcome to such
really first-class pleasures as the school
course offers this year.
If you enjoyed seeing the compost
tions of some of the pupils in recent is
sues of the Chronicle, why not tell them |
so, and encourage others tOmake greater
effort to win the same honors 1t is |
worth while. The work in English is a
strong feature of our schools, and we
want to improve and enlarge it.
