The death of Mgr . Fava ( writes the " Daily Chronicle " Paris Correspondent ) closes the career of the most anti-Republican prelate in France . The Bishop of Grenoble was a specialist in the denunciation of Freemasonry , and on several occasions he incurred the official reprimand of the
Council of State which follows episcopal misdemeanors . On one occasion he refused to grant a religious funeral in his cathedral because the Masonic Lodges of their departments
sent their delegates wearing their insignia . Apart from his original and combative temperament , Mgr . Fava was witty and kind-hearted . He visited England in 1880 , when he was the guest of Cardinal Newman .

"A Sprig Of Acacia."
" A SPRIG OF ACACIA . "
OUR Brother William Kite P . M . of the Lebanon Lodge , No . 1326 , for many years Superintendent at Cannon Street Hotel , died suddenly on Friday , 13 th inst , at his residence , 3 Charteris Road , Old Kent Road , S . E ., and was buried on Thursday at Nuhhead Cemetery , followed by a large number of Masonic friends , relatives , and others .
THE remains of Bro . W . J . Marshall , who for over twenty years has been estate clerk for Earl Fitzwilliam , at Malton , were interred in the cemetery at that place on Thursday afternoon , 28 th ult . There was a very large attendance at the funeral , deceased and his family being well known and highly respected . The estate servants carried the
body to the grave , and some of them strewed flowers upon the coffin . Mr . Markham , the earl ' s agent , followed the remains , as also did the Worshipful Master and Officers of the Camalodunum Lodge , of which deceased was a Past Master , former Secretary , & c . The Brethren carried the
usual Masonic mourning emblem , which they cast into the grave at the conclusion of the burial service . This was read by the Rev . H . E . Ganseen , Vicar of St . Leonard ' s and St . Michael ' s , Malton , whom the deceased had heretofore assisted
in the musical services of the church . The funeral cortege included most of the leading professional men and tradesmen of the town , the residents in which showed every token of respect for the dead as the procession moved through the streets .
THE death is announced of Bro . Charles Shenton Du Sautoy , R . N . R ., M . I . N . A ., M . I . M . E ., which occurred at his residence , Sunnyside , Portswood , Southampton , early on Sunday , 8 th inst . Three months ago Bro . Du Sautoy , when at the County Bowling Green at Southampton , was
suddenly seized with apoplexy . He was at once conveyed to his home , where , notwithstanding the best medical attention , he was confined to his bed until death released him from his sufferings . Bro . Du Sautoy was an officer of the Royal Naval Reserve , being one of the very few men holding
the rank of Honorary Chief Engineer in her Majesty ' s Navy , a distinction of which he was very proud . He was President of the local branch of the Institute of Marine Engineers , and not many years ago secured the attendance of so prominent a man as Sir W . White , the Chief Constructor , as chairman
of the annual dinner of the branch at Southampton . He was also a member of the Institute of Naval Architects . He was , like his father before him , a prominent Freemason . He was a Past Master of the Lodge of Peace and Harmony , and only last year held office in Provincial Grand Lodge , receiving his
collar at the Grand Lodge meeting held at Ryde , in August 18 9 8 . He leaves a widow and family , and the great sympathy felt with them during his illness will be intensified now that it has had a fatal termination . Bro . Sautoy was only fortynine years of age .
