March 4, 1885. and at the time of his
death was so years. 10 months and 20
days old. He was born in Tennessee
and came to Lebanon a slave when
quite a young man. He was Sc years
a Christian, so years a minister, or
ganized the first A. NJ. e. church in
Lebanon and was employed by one
firm in that city for 80 years. He
was elected councilman from his ward
by the white and colored people of
that city and served with much credit.
He was a Mason for 40 years and at
the time of his death was an honor

NEGROES AT THE rHEArERs.

To the Editor of the Kansas City Sun:
l read a very interesting letter from
Mr.. Wilson which | desire to answer.
He either does not understand the
real conditions that exist in the So
called society of Kansas City or is
aiming to stand in" with the forces
that control (?). 1t is true that the
decorum at the named play was not
just what it should have been, but it
is unfair to take that as a criterion
by which to judge the real character
of the non-professionals. / happen to
be in a position to know both sides,
the professional and the n~on-profes-
sional. If the curtains could be drawn
back and the flash light thrown on
the professional world of Kansas City
there would appear upon the stage
some of the blacklist characters pos.
sible to be produced. You would see
virtue, morality and justice in a mael-
strom, while vice, crime and immor-
ality carried on a high carnival. If
the teaching forces of Kansas City
were employed for their fitness | ven
ture TO say there would be almost a
complete revolution. If these things
are not true, why was it hat the au-
thor of the book written denouncing
the characters of the Negro teachers
of Kansas City go unchallenged? We
should have teachers who can teach
both by example as well as by precept,
and not a%dulterers and those who have
been SO corrupt as to be divorced and
sued for breach of promise, and so
forth. The teaching profession is not
the only one that is corrupt. Our law
yers, doctors and preachers also are
greatly in need of reformation. l hope
Mr.. Wilson will stop to take the Sec
ond thought before he throws the next
stone. Let him who is guiltless cast
the first stone"

Fifty Years
of Masonry
By JOE E. HEREFORD, p. M.
FIFTY YERs OF MASONRY.
Chapter 18.

II was at the twenty-fifth annual
communication of the Grand Lodge
which was held in the city of Omaha,
Neb, August, 1891, that the writer of
these notes first made his appearance
in that important body-twenty-five
years ago. The attendance was good,
though the distance afforded a good
opportunity for proxy gathering among
the weaker lodges. The Grand Mas
ter set the example by coming up with
eight aside from those he had direct
ed to his trusted friends, and Chinn
had six tucked snugly in his inside
pocket. Several other brothers had
been almost as successful. These
proxies could only be used on the day
of the election, at which time each
was worth its weight in gold.
Past Grand Master Moses Dickson
was present and was twice formally
presented, once as Past Grand Mas
ter and again as the representative
of the Grand Orient of France. That
was the official title of the Grand
Lodge of France, and a communica-
ton in the French language was pre-
scented to the Grand Lodge, translated
by Grand Master Pelham and filed
away for safe keeping.
The Grand Orient had from the very
beginning of Masonry among our peo-
pie in America been very friendly to
us and had in every possible way
given encouragement to our growth
and prosperity. The white lodges
grand lodges-of this country natural
ly found much fault with this and soon
found many excuses for quarreling

The case against Richard Halstein
was damning, and it hung on one
fact That fact was the thumb
print. Here it is:
Lewis Halstein had adopted his
nephew Richard in infancy. He was
a queer old character; he had
brought the boy up in idleness, aIleg-
ing that work was beneath the dig
nifty of a gentleman. That alone
shows that Lewis Halstein was de-
cidedly eccentric. At "a, when his
nephew left college, he came home
to find his uncle a millionaire and
more eccentric than ever. Remem-
Der, Richard had never been trained
to work. He was about as capable of
earning a living as a Polynesian set /
down in the streets of New York.
Less so, for the Polynesian could go
on exhibition as the Wild Man of
Borneo and earn his 81 a day. Rich
ard HaIstein could not. He looked
the ordinary type Of better-class
American, and there was nothing
about him that would make any man
look at him twice in the street.
Richard Halstein came home to |
fall in love with Mildred James, the |
daughter of his uncle's neighbor. |
When he heard of the engagement |
he was furious. He turned his |
nephew out of his home penniless.
Richard seems to have had a "a
Their hard time. However, it was the |
uncle who took the initiative. He
asked him back, and the butler testi- |
fed that he heard the two quarreling |
all evening in the old mans library.
He listened, as a servant will do, and |
heard Lewis Halstein order his /
nephew out of the house for good. |
Following this, Richard HaIstein
