MASONIC HOME AND
- ORPHANAGE DEDICATED AT
ST. PETERSBURG TODAY

st. Petersburg, April when the
Masonic Home and Orphanage is ded-
icated today, plans made by the Grand
Lodge Of Florida way back in 1901
will come to consummation Elab-
crate preparations have been made
for the ceremonies at 2:30 p. m. this
afternoon.
The building to be occupied as a
Masonic Home and Orphanage was
formerly the Southland Seminary and
more recently the Southland Hotel.
II stands at the head of Coffee Pot
bayou and is reached by North Ninth
street trolley cars.
The deal for the property was
closed last May. 1t was understood
at that time that the price paid was
$4,000 cash for the hotel property,
including one block of ground, the
building and furnishings. In addition
the deal included a trade Of 20 lots
donated to the Masons on the Johns
Pass road near the hotel property
as a site for home. In return for
these lots the Masons received one
block of ground north Of and edjoin-
ing the hotel property and two blocks
Immediately west. The hotel prop
perty which now becomes the Masonic
Home and Orphanage was bought
from Charles M. Allen, receiver for
the st. Petersburg Investment Com
pany and allied interests The build
ing contains 100 rooms, arranged In
suits OF three and four rooms with
bath, which makes 1t admirably suit
ed to the purpose for which 1t will be
used.
The structure was built originally
as a seminary by DR.. e. l.. Stevens.
It was operated by him during the
winter Of 1914 in an incompleted con-
dition. In 1915 the building was not
used, financial troubles preventing
the completion OF the structure. In
May, 1916, the building and large
tract OF land adjacent thereto was
purchased by the Coffee Pot Land
Company, of which II. Walter Fuller
Of the st. Petersburg Investment
Company. was head. During the earl,
part OF the season Of 1857, thu
structure was transformed into no
tel and, although conducted only {
few weeks, was a success. Tt was OPP
Grated again during the 1918 sea
son as a hotel under the direction o.
Charles NJ. Allen, receiver.

Col. D. o. Rogers WEEDS
Mrs. Edith Heron Conrad

A marriage which comes as a com
plete surprise to the many friends OF
the groom occurred Saturday at noon
at the Windsor hotel in Jacksonville,
when Col. d. O. Rogers, of this city,
was united in marriage to Mrs. Edith
Heron Conrad, of New York. Col

years with the May Robson Company,
with which organization she was the
leading woman. 1t was while she was
playing here with the May Robson
company in December that she met
Col. Rogers, and it apparently was a
case of love at first sight as the short
courtship rapidly came to a happy
climax in their marriage on Saturday
She is young woman Of striking
beauty and those who saw her work
in the play "a Little Bit Old Fash
ioned' recognize her ability as an &C
tress When love beckoned, however
she gladly put her career aside, and
is already quite charmed with Lake
land and is being most cordially vel
coined by the friends of the groom.
Col. Rogers is too well known to
Lakeland people for any introduction
He is Prosecuting Attorney for this
District, embracing Polk, DeSoto and
Lee counties, and is popular among .
large circle of friends, who wish fol
him and his lovely bride a long ant
happily welded life For the present
