Oregon, thus accounting in part for the
great difference in the size Of the vote in

the announcement made today
that the present assets of the Ma
sons Annuity, a benefit order for

where the supreme lodge is locat-
ed. The order owns its own build
ing, which is valuable piece Of
property at Edgcwood Avenue
and Ivy street.
That family protection is not a
business matter, but a sacred and
intimate obligation upon the head
of the family of such character
that it rests upon higher plane
than business, is the interesting
view advanced by President Dick
ey ana winch has el1Cted much
favorable comment from members
of the order.
In this connection, actuarial
authorities call attention to the
fact that the law exempts the
benefits paid by fraternal orders
from any and every legal process,
making them non-attachable to
pay any debt or liability of a bcnc-
ficiary, The Mason's Annuity
has paid out in benefits. according
to its present report, the sum Of

AGED MONARCH DIED A
VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA

Vienna, Nov. 22.-The death of
Emperor Francis Joseph last
night occurred at 9:O5 o'clock.
The end was peaceful, the aged
monarch passing away as though
sinking into sleep. Among those
IN the death chamber at Schoen-
brunn castle was the heir appar-
ent, Archduke Francis Joseph.
Shortly after midday there was
an appreciate rise in the emper-
or's temperature. Although he
had been about early to attend to
state duties and had eaten light
meal, 1t was evident about two
o'clock that crisis was approach
ing. About 8 o'clock in the eve
ming the attending physicians
were almost ready to abandon
hope, the patient lapsing slowly
INTO unConSClouSnesS.
Pneumonia Developed
The emperor had been suffer
ing from a bronchial inflammation
but pneumonia developed and
suddenly reached critical stage,
and from 6 o'clock on the chances
OF his surviving grew simmer.
Baron Burian, who in addition to
being a foreign minister is also
minister of the imperial and roy
al household, was summoned. He
left the sick chamber a little after
8 O'Clock, but hardly had reached
his office when the death was an
nounced.
The death OF Francis Joseph
was known to but few people in
Vienna last night, but rumors
which have been in circulation
during the day cast a gloom over
the city.
Comments in the newspapers
voiced regret that the emperor
had not been spared long enough
to see the end of the war, which,
according to the accepted view
here, nobody regretted more than
he, as he never tired Of assuring
his intimates.
Worlds Oldest Monarch
With Emperor Francis Joseph
passes the worlds oldest monarch
and whose life was one continu-
Gus tragedy, which was to end in
the greatest tragedy of all time
the present war. Francis Joseph
was really beloved by his people,
who comprise half score of ra-
ccs. They found in him the &C.
ment which held together the
state structure of Austria-Hun-
gary.
To the very last the emperor,
who had no conception of the val
tie OF money, spent prodigious
sums IN charity, never overlook
ing any of the old men and wo-
men who used to come to Schoen-
brunn park to receive aims.
Despite his tendency to spend
lavishly, the emperor was exceed
ingly painstaking in making a
note of aims, for instance on any
scrap of paper he had about him.
He was in the constant COM
pany in later years of a little
group of old friends who address
ed him Familiarity.
