Devon And Cornwall Last Year.
DEVON AND CORNWALL LAST YEAR .
ri "^ HE Masonic Graft Devon and Cornwall has been very 1 prosperous during 1898 , and , save the occasional disregard of the preliminary conditions of membership as to fitness , financially , and socially , for its privileges , the Lodges generally have been more than usually successful , numerically and generally .
The Province of Devon has again added another Lodge to its roll , by the constitution of No . 2725 , Yelverton , which haa already made an excellent start . The number on the register is now fifty-eight ; so that there are close on 100 Lodges in the two Western counties .
The Provincial Grand Lodge of Devon was held at Paignton , presided over by the Prov . G . M . the Hon . Sir Stafford Northcote , Bart ., G . B ., M . P . ; and that of Cornwall assembled at Falmouth , the Eight Hon . the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe ( Past Deputy Grand Master of England ) being in the chair as Provincial Grand
Master . All the reports were of a very satisfactory character , and the various funds for educational and annuity purposes , locally raised and expended , are all in a very healthy condition , every year increasing the interest in these excellent and ablymanaged Institutions .
The Mark Provincial Grand Lodge of Devon met at Plymouth , Bro . G . S . Strode D , Prov . G . M . presiding , in the unavoidable absence of the Provincial Grand Master . The meeting of the sister society for Cornwall was a brilliant function , being for the installation of the Earl of Halsbury ( Lord Chancellor ) as the Provincial Grand Master , in succession to Bro . Sir Charles Brune
Graves-Sawle , Bart ., whose increasing years led him to resign , much to the regret of all the Brethren . The Installing Officer was Lord Skelmersdale ( now the Earl of Lathom ) , and Bro . P . Colville Smith was re-appointed Dep . Prov . G . M ., Bro . W . J . Johns , lately invested as Standard Bearer of the Grand Lodge , was again appointed as Provincial Grand Secretary . An address was voted and presented to the retiring Prov . G . Master .
The Hon . Sir Stafford Northcote , Bart ., has been installed as Grand Superintendent of Eoyal Arch Masonry for Devon , and Lord Mount Edgcumbe is Grand Superintendent for Cornwall ; a meeting of the latter having recently been held .
In the Central Masonic Charities ihe Counties of Devon and Cornwall have been very successful , as usual , in securing the return or election of their candidates , through the well-directed exertions of Bros . Westlake and Edyvean , who were supported by the local bodies as' customary . The three annual Festivals
have been held , that for the Boys putting the other two for this year in the shade . Devon sent up about £ 1 , 800 , and Cornwall over £ 780 . It is expected that the grand total of sums raised for all the Masonic Charities established in England , local and general , will amount to some £ 175 , 000 , being the largest raised
in any one year , and likely to remain so for many years to come . Devon and Cornwall have also contributed fco the Eoyal Masonic Institution for Girls , and the Benevolent Institution , but not in proportion to the benefits received . The Mark Benevolent Fund realised £ 1 , 735 , Devon and Cornwall contributing over 100 guineas together . — " Western Morning News . "

IMPOSING ON FREEMASONS .
A MAN giving the name of Jamea Warburton was brought up in custody at Betford Police Court , on Monday , charged with obtaining alms by fraudulently representing himself to be a Freemason . Captain Thomas , Superintendent of the Betford Police , said the prisoner called upon him on Saturday night , about nine o ' clock , and asked him as the Almoner for the Betford Lodge of Freemasons to give him relief . He challenged his statement
as to being a Freemason , and he said he was a member of the Blagdon Lodge , Blyth , Northumberland , No . 659 , and had been for twenty-eight years . He tested this statement , and the prisoner admitted thafc he was nofc a member of the Blagdon Lodge . He found a letter in his possession purporting to be from the Secretary of the Blagdon Lodge , enclosing him £ B on the 4 th November 1898 , and signed Wm . Smithson . There was no Secretary of that name , the Secretary being Mr . Walkensize , who had telegraphed to say that
Jas . Warburton was not , and never had been , a member . Prisoner said he was guilty , and he was further charged with being the man who , at Cheadle , in Staffordshire , under the name of Bradburn , was convicted of a similar offence , and sent to gaol for seven days , with hard labour . The Superintendent of Police said there was so much of this sort of thing going on that he had been instructed to prosecute everyone of the impostors who came round . Prisoner pleaded guilty , and said he knew he had done wrong . Sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment , with hard labour . — "Nottingham Guardian . "
