For some time the Masonic breth-
rem have had under consideration the
enovating of the interior of their tenn
pie and this week the work has been
done. D. S. Raney had a hand in see
ine: that the calsomining was properly
smeared on the walls and the decora-
tions fixed according to order and last
night to finish up the deal Is Of the
brethren took hand at putting on
the finishing touches in the way Of
vanishing the furniture and settees,
so according Warshipful Master
Spicer and Prof. Julius B. Meyers call
ed this bunch of craftsmen from re-
freshment to labor and the work was
on and prosecuted with vigor and dis
patch. Ed Bloom was there with his
little brush, and being of smoother
turn of the wrist was given the hard
and difficult jobs of putting the finish
ing touch on things, which is easy for
him, as he is one Of the best artists in
the country with either brush or pen.
Herman Stern is no SLOUGH at the job,
either. When it comes to decoration
he is right there. The crews were
worked in regular order and the sew
eral departments of the temple were
duly prepared and now present very
spic and span appearance, in fact the
temple is so nice now that every men,
Der of the order should be in his seat
tonight at the regular meeting. We
did not get the names of all taking a
hand in this performance but each and
every one is entitled to credit and
thanks for their public spiritedness.

yesterday she was up and had her din

perhaps with heart failure-and died
within a few minutes. Her death oc-
Cured shortly after the noon hour.
