Total Attendance
to Break Records
A TENDANCE at the Washing.

ATTENDANCE at the Washing
ton session will exceed by
more than 100 per cent that at
any previous session of the
Shrine, according to registration
figures for the past two years.
The largest previous session Of
the Shrine was that at San
Francisco last year. There were
$1,000 Shriners in attendance and
they were accompanied by more
than $4,000 members of their
families. The miscellaneous crowd
attracted by the session brought
the average daily attendance to
$50, 900, according to the police
estimates.
The session Of the previous
year, at Portland, Ore, brought
an attendance Of $4,000 Shriners,
with the remainder Of the crowd
in approximately the same pro-
portion as at San Francisco.
The only other session Of the
Shrine in Washington, that OF
1900, brought an attendance OF
5000 Shriners and about $4,000
members of their families and
other visitors. The total menl'
bership of the Shrine at that time
was $4,000. Today 1t - more
than 100000. #

pROBABLY no scene ever shifted
onto the stage of that theater
we now know as Polls was as
impressive or picturesque as that
Of the laying of the corner stone
of that building, which, when
constructed, was known as the
Washington Light Infantry Arm
ory and Opera House.
The ceremonies were held at
o'clock in the evening of May
23, 1884, and the crimson glow
of the twilight added q strange
beauty to the scene. Splendor
was the keynote. The knights
Templars and the Masons were
clad in black, purple and white,
the Marine Band was in brilliant
scarlet, and the artillery was re-
splendent in white Austrian coats.
The reporter on one of the daily
papers waxed poetic over the
grandeur. and compared the dou.
bic line of Infantry on the raised
west platform to a grim phalanx
of warriors guarding the bastion
of some ancient battlement, and

AS darkness fell during the pre-
= liminary exercises, the stone was
surrounded by lighted candles
while the bearded workmen closed
in, ready to lower the stone at
notice. During the most solemn
part Of the service, a thrill was
given to the spectators by the
falling Of an old chimney on an
adjoining tin roof. 1t was caused
by the weight Of a large number
Of pickaninnies who chose this
vantage point to watch the pro-
ceedings, but, still, it did startle
tin1id souls.

Statues

RIVE statues in Washington have
been Historically consecrated.
The first was the Clark Mills eques-
trian statute of Washington in
Washington Circle, Twenty-third
and K streets northwest. This
statue was recently removed, with
great difficulty, from it's base in
order to be cleaned; it having
served as an apartment house
for many generations of sparrows,
some even being 80 bold az to
roost in the venerable Georges
head. The ceremonies on the &C.
casion of its Inauguration were
postponed until a late hour in the
afternoon, on account of bad
weather, so there was g. very
small assembly present when
President James Buchanan,
member of the fraternity, delivered
the grafton of the day.
On April Is, 1868, the famous
Lincoln monument in front Of the
City Hall was dedicated. This
statute had stormy career.

1t as handicap to the beauty of
the city, on account of it's So
called ugliness, and 1t was removed.
From that day on its friends
struggled to have it returned to
its place, and only lately was a
bill passed providing for its re-
erection. 1t now stands on its
former site.
May 16, 1870, the fraternity laid
the foundation stone of a statue
OF Baron Won Steuben in Washing

U street, and was the scene of
many Scheutzenfests, Sunday

grounds Of the German Orphan

The Masonic Fraternity of the

EleemOsynary
Institutions

THE first elcemosynary institu-
ton in the District to have
a Masonic Cornerstone was the
Washington City Orphan Asylum
at Fourteenth and streets north
west. It must have afforded great
pleasure to the craft to partici-
pate in this ceremony, for from
the beginning of District history
the fraternity had been interested
in orphans, frequently holding pro-
cessions to raise money for such
institutions. as were devoted to the
care of these unfortunate little
ones.

Asylum was organized in 1912.
the first directress being Dolly
Madison. Earnest and sincere as
she and her co-workers on the
Board Of Lady Managers were, it
was not until 1865 that home
filling the requirements for this
work was provided The corner
stone was laid on July IS, 1865,
and is a piece Of the overlength
Of one Of the monolithic shafts of
the north portico Of the Capitol,
which was presented to the asy.
lum by Messrs. Provost, Winter
and Company.
How the music Of the Marine
Band must have pleased the
elghty-seven little boys and girls
for whom this structure was to be
home, sweet home! Their carol
ings must have taken on a more
joyous note as they sang for
those assembled for the cere.
mony.
Alas for their hopes, however.
Tor the specter of poverty hung
heavy over the institution, and
the patter of little feet was not
to be heard in the building until
after November /, 1875. The board
OF lady managers was compelled,
In order to fill little stomachs

ones in the city at that time

Two other homes. primarily Tor
the aged, have Masonic corner
stones.
The Christian and EIeanora
RUPERT Home, in Anacostia, was
gINan by Christian Rupert,
member of New Jerusalem Lodge
No. 8 until his death, as a home
for the aged, in memory of his
wife. This home is located in
Anacostia, and the cornerstone
was laid September 26. 1901.
The other home is the Masonic
and Eastern Star Home, on Sligo
Mill road. The first land for
this project was donated by Mrs.
Sarah Seek. The cornerstone was
laid May II, 1905. This was start
ed as a home for the aged, but
soon the helplessness of orphaned
children caused the rules to be
slackened, and several are taken
care of there, and, according to
present plans, a separate building
will be built for the little ones.

President Polk also marched in

MASONIC RELICS.
Many Masonic relics Of great
historical interest were on the
platform. Grand Master French
wore the apron and sash which
Washington wore at the laying of
the corner stone Of the Capitol,
and the chair which Washington
occupied as Grand Master OF
Alexandra. Washington lodge, was
on the platform, as was also the
Masonic apron worn by Gen. 10.
geph Warren, who fell at the bat
tie Of Bunker Fill. This had
been brought down from Boston
by zone of the brethren for the
occasion.
Among other things deposited
in the stone were daguerretypes of
George and Martha Washington,
the former taken from the last
portrait ever painted of Washing
ton.
Speaker Robert G. Winthrop of
the House Of Representatives,
delivered the Grafton of the day.
The Reverend Brother McJilton,
that orator extraordinary, whose
services were so much in demand
IN those days, quite outdid all his
former efforts. Grand Master
French called attention to the fact
that every general officer of the
American armies during the Rev.
olution, save one, was a Free
Mason. and that the one who was
not was the one who died a traitor
to his country.
