The October Election Of The Girls' School.
Lodge we remember visiting at a time when a case of great distress was brought before its members . What we saw on that occasion leaves no doubt on our mind but that the widow of their late member will receive such assistance as it is possible for her late husband ' s brethren
to afford . No . 16 , I . McLeod , is the other Hampshire case ; her father having also been a member of Peace aud Harmony Lodge , No . 359 . The brethren of that Lodge , and of the Province generally , will have enough to do with their two cases , but doubtless the best that is possible will
be achieved on behalf of each . No . 18 , E . J . Matthews comes to us from Tasmania , her father having been a member of the Tasmanian Union Lodge , No . 536 , up to the time of his death , which took place in September 1880 . Th 9 brethren of Middlesex are called upon to help the
family of one of their most respected past members—Bro Keily , who ranked as P . G . Treasurer of the Province During his lifetime he was not unmindful of the Institu
tions , from one of which his famjly now seek aid , he having acted as Steward , and qualified as a Life Governor to each of the three . Doubtless , he little thought , when urging the claims of the Institutions on others that a member of his
family would one day become a candidate , yet such is the case ; his daughter , M . P . Keily , stands No . 19 on the list . Let those who are able , assist her , and thus acknowledge the work done by her father . The last case to which we have to devote attention is tbe first on the list , M . H .
Hirst . She is the only child dependent on a widowed mother , and is accredited to the Province of West Torks . This is another of those fortunate cases where organisation and systematic utilisation of votes renders its candidate all
but certain of securing a place , provided the Province takes the matter up ; we hope that will be so in this instance , provided the child is as deserving of sympathy as are some of the others whose claims we have directed attention to in the earlier part of these remarks .
We are asked to point out that an omission—of a serious nature to the two more particularly concerned—has been made in the particulars given on the ballot papers for the October election of the Boys' School . It appears that Nos . 21 , T . M . Nicholas , and No . 30 C . P . O'Doherty , will both
be ineligible — on account of age — unless they are elected on the next occasion . Through some oversight , the special reference usual in such cases has been omitted , but
we trust the error will not materially affect the chances of these candidates . Two other candidates , viz . No . 10 , R . A . L . Hill , and No . 43 , W . R . Worthington , have been withdrawn .
Grand Lodge Of Nebraska.
GRAND LODGE OF NEBRASKA .
rPHE Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honourable - Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Nebraska convened and assembled in its twenty-fifth Annual Communication in the Masonic Hall , Lincoln , Nebraska , on Tuesday , 20 th June , at three o ' clock in the afternoon , there being present : —
M . W . James C . Cain Grand Master R . W . Edwin F . Warrin Deputy Grand Master Samuel W . Hayes Grand Senior Warden John J . Wimple Grand Junior Warden Christian Hartman Grand Treasurer William R . Bowen Grand Secretary V . W . George Scott Grand Chaplain
VY . James S . Uilham Grand Orator R . W . Lee P . Gillette ( P . D . G . M ) ... Grand Lecturer W . Alfred L . Palmer Grand Marshal Francis E . White Grand Senior Deacon Frank E . Bullard Grand Junior Deacon Bro . Oliver W . Littler as Grand Tyler
Grand Lodge was opened in ample form , when it was ascertained that seventy-three out of the seventy-nine chartered Lodges were represented . In the course of his address the Grand Master stated that tbe brethren were assembled in this their twenty-fifth
Annual Communication to consider , and , so far as may be , adopt such measures as will preserve and promote the best interests and pure principles of our ancient ancl honourable Fraternity , and to that end it is earnestly hoped that tho same careful scrutiny and thorough investigation of the several matters presented for consideration
Grand Lodge Of Nebraska.
should be observed that had characterised their deliberations heretofore . He congratulated the brethren , and particularly the founders , upon their past fair record , and tho promise of a bright future before their Grand Lodge . It may have been with fear and trembling that they laid
tho foundation stones of Nebraska Masonry , but they cau now rejoice as one who returns and brings his sheaves with him ; for the Institution has kept time and pace with their young and vigorous state in the rapid development of her material resources , and , side by side with the other
coordinate departments of all her social system , has ever been found the Institution of Freemasonry ; foremost in every good word and work that tends to the best moral , social , and intellectual interests of Society . The year that had just past had in many ways been a
fruitful one . The earth had yielded her increase abundantly , and the labours of the husbandman had been richly rewarded . Sturdy yeomen from foreign lands , cringing under the yoke of despotism , and the more favoured sons of free America , from the less remote eastern
and middle States , have in numbers without stint sought homes , happiness and prosperity within these borders . Capital seeking permanent and profitable investment had been lavishly employed in the development of valuable resources . The artizan and mechanic had found abundant
employment for their skill and cunning , and on every hand the busy hum and bustle of industry had been heard . Thrift and prosperity were everywhere seen . The barren plains have been made to bud and blossom , and the onward march of civilisation had turned the great wilderness into
a fruitful field . For these and kindred blessings it was but meet and proper that we should return our grateful acknowledgments to Him who is the giver of every good and perfect gift , and to whom alone we are indebted for our prosperity as a people and as a nation . After referring
to the losses sustained by the Craft at large , through the hand of Death , and congratulating the brethren of his jurisdiction upon the immunity they had enjoyed , the Grand Master stated that to each of the bereaved Grand Lodges
he had referred to , he had extended the fraternal sympathy of this M . W . Grand Lodge , and he recommended that suitable mention be made , and action taken by this Grand Body to commemorate the virtues of these fraternal dead .
The installation meeting of the Burdett Coutts Lodge , No . 1278 , took place on Wednesday , at the Approach Tavern , Approach Road , Victoria Park . We had been invited , and certainly it was our intention to be present , but on our arriving at the headquarters of the Lodge , on
Thursday evening , to our disappoinement we found that the event had occurred the day previously . Bro . Jones , we were informed , was installed in due form by the retiring Master , Bro . J . L . Sturtevant , who performed the ceremony to the satisfaction of a goodly muster of the members and
visitors , and we only regret that the alteration oi the date , if accidental , should not have been communicated to us . We mention this matter , so that it may not appear discourteous , after the pressing invitation we received , not to give a more comprehensive report of the proceedings .
YE ANTIENTE FRATERNITIE OP TE RAHERE ALMONERS . — We notified in our last the consent of Bro . John Whittaker Ellis , Bart ., Lord Mayor of London , to preside over the forthcoming Anniversary Festival Banquet of the above Society , to be held at Cannon-street Hotel , on the 20 th October . Since that announcement a strong working Committee has been formed to assist the Grand Council in
securing a reception for his Lordship , the present Sheriffs , Bros . Sir Reginald Hanson and Sir W . A . Ogg , and the Sheriffs elect Bros . Alderman De Keyser and Alderman Savory , who are also expected to be present , as shall fully justify the already acknowledged reputation of the " Rahere
Almoners " for attractive public gatherings . We have had an opportunity of looking over the report of the past year ' s operations of the Fraternity , and can endorse the Lord Mayor's remark that " the Society is doing good and useful work . " Many a poor heart in the parish with which
it is connected ( St . Bartholomew ) was cheered and supported by the "Almoners '" timely gift during the past winter ; and no charitable person can do otherwise than congratulate the Society on the patronage it has secured , ancl wish it GOD SPEED !
