PRESENTATION TO BRO . NEWMAN , J . P ., P . M . No . 75 , FALMOUTH .
On Friday , the 29 th of June , the brethren of the ancient Lodge of Love and Honour , No . 73 , Falmouth , assembled in full force at the Royal Hotel , where a banquet was spread in honour of the brother Falmouth deli ghts to honour Masonically .
The Chairman was the W . M ., Dr . Arthur Ben Harris , and the Vice-Chairman Bro . Harry Tilly , S . W . Most of the Past Masters were present , including Bros . Vivian , Prov . G . S . B . ; Dennis , P . Prov . G . Purs . ; Polglaze , Prov . G . Steward ; and Michael Little . Bro . W . J . Hughan , P . S . G . D . of England ( hon . member ) , was also in attendance , having travelled especially by an early train to take
part in the interesting proceedings . After the usual toasts had been dul y given and honoured , the W . M . ( Dr . Harris ) proposed "The Health of their esteemed Past Master , Bro . Walter Francis Newman , P . M ., P . Prov . G . D . of Cornwall , " and , in a felicitous manner , described how much the lodge was indebted to that really worthy brother for his services , extending over
a period of nearly eighteen years . In the name of the numerous subscribers he aslted Bro . Newman to accept of the richly illuminated testimonial ( which was then unveiled ) , and of the Past Master's jewel , and he trusted that the brethren would continue to receive the benefit of his valuable aid for many years to come . Amid the acclamations of the brethren Bro . Newman
rose to respond , and , considering the difficulties of his task , acquitted himself remarkably well . He spoke of the pleasure it gave him to see the lodge in such a flourishing and happy ' state , and though he acknowledged that ever since his initiation he had taken a lively interest in the welfare of their old mother lodge , yet he did not
consider that anything he had done deserved such a mark of approval , and so handsome a testimonial and Past Master ' s jewel as had just been presented to him . He felt quite overpowered on looking at such handsome gifts , and he could only say , emphatically , that the present meeting was to him the proudest and happiest of his Masonic life .
In response to the toast of '' The Past Masters , " Bro . Little ( the originator of the testimonial ) aptly described Bro . Newman as the embodiment cf " Love and Honour , " and expressed the feeling of all genuine Masons when he said he hoped that the genial countenance of their friend and Bro . Newman would for long be seen at the lodge . Later on Bro . Hughan gave a short sketch of the progress of the ledge from 1751 , and stated that during the
last dozen years especially the brethren were indebted to Bro . Newman mainl y , and at times exclusively , for the preservation of their old warrant and its privileges . The address , we should state , was beautifully illuminated by Lake and Lake , Truro , and handsomel y framed , forming one of the most pleasing and tastefully executed testimonials we have ever seen . The Past Master ' s jewel was of unique design , in solid gold .
Dunheved Masonic Hall, Launceston.

town on the Tavistock-ri ad , and the site , which was generously given by Bro . J . C . Baron Lethbridge , commands one of the finest views to be obtained in the neighbourhood . A flight of steps at the western end of the structure leads to an open porch , within which is the Tyler ' s vestibule and a preparation room adjoining . The only otherapartment on this floor is the lodge-room , which is 40 ft . by
20 ft ., and proportionately high . In the centre of the floor is a pavement of tiles—white and black—with a border , and the eastern portion of the floor is raiied three steps . The lodge is surrounded by a moulded cornice , with a frieze , left plain for future decoration . In the centre of the ceiling , over the pavement , is a circle 16 ft . in diameter , defined by mouldings , with paintings emblematic of the
sun and the constellations . There is an organ recess on the south side of the lodge , which is handsomely furnished . On the floor below the lodge , are the custodian ' s apartments and a large dining-room with lavatories , cellar , & c , adjoining . The building is in the Italian style , from the design of Mr . James Hine , F . R . I . B . A ., and although not elaborately ornamented is very complete in its
appointments . Mr . W . Burt , of Launceston , is the contractor , and his work has given much satisfaction . The ceiling decorations are by Mr . Fouracre , of Stonenouse , and Mr . Hems , of Exeter , carved the window capitals . The ground around the hall has been tastefully laid out . The entrance gate to it is of wrought iron , from the
architect ' s drawing , and is the gift of Bro . John Hawkins , the Secretary of the lodge . Bros . Trood gave the handsome tile pavement .

Deakin , of Werrington Park , has been one of the largest contributors .
HOLLOWAT ' OINTMENT AND PILLS . —When rheumatism be comes chronic , and as it were fixed in a limb or part , it is truly a terrible enemy to encounter . The joints often become stiffened and excessively painful when obliged to be moved , or on exposure to changes of temperature , dampness , & c . Hulloway ' s Ointment exercises a wonderful effect in alleviating this torture , for by its use the blood vessels of the part have their tone restored , and the irritated and painful nerves soothed and calmed . It must be persistently and perseveringly used , for the disorder is a most obstinate one , and will not yield unless resolutely attacked . These remedies will also be found to he most useful in cramps and muscular spasms , —Am ,

Masonic and General Tidings .
A quarterly General Court of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls will be held at Freemasons ' Hall , on Saturday next the 14 th inst ., at 12 o ' clock precisely , on the business of the Institution . A silver tea service will be presented to our esteemed Bro . Fredk . Adlard , P . P . A . G . D . of C . for Essex , P . M . Lodges 7 , 16 3 and P . Z . 214 at the next meeting of the Hampstead Lodge , No . 167 . which will be held on
Tuesday next . . The presentation will be made in appreciation of Bro . Adlard ' s services as Director of Ceremonies for the period of twenty years , and has been subscribed for by the Past Masters and members of the lodge . Bro . R . B . Webster intends bringing forward a motion that twenty-five additional girls be elected into the School at the Quarterly General Court of the Girls School on Saturday next .
CRYSTAL PALA . CE . —During the four days of the Handel Festival including the rehearsal on Friday ) the total number of persons admitted to the Palace was 74 it 34—49 > 7 ° 3 having been season ticket holders . Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice were present at one of the performances . In addressing the Grand Jury at the Hampshire Assizes Lord Colerid ge said the Calendar was
unusually heavy . Nearly all the cases were in consequence of disturbances begun in public-houses or actually commuted there . His short experience on the Bench convinced him of the truth of what had been said by other judges , that if England were made sober nearly- all the goals might be closed . A telegram received at the Admiralty yesterday from Homburg announces that the satisfactory progress in the state of health of Bro . Ward Hunt still
continues
Lord Gifford , one of the judges of the Court of Session in Scotland , has consented to preside over the Jurisprudence Department , and the Lord Advocate over the Repression of Crime Section , at the ensuing congress at Aberdeen .
MADLLE . TITIENS . —We regret to hear that since her arrival at Worthing Madlle . Titiens has been considerabl y worse . The gifted arcisfe , who has always had a great liking for Worthing , insisted on being removed there , but the journey appears to have been too much for her , and she is now in a very prostrate condition . —Medical Examiner .
in an age of commercial enterprise like the present , there seems reall y no limit to the amount of business a man may do , whatever his trade , if only he brings sufficient energy and integrity to bear on his conduct of affaiis . There are few articles the consumption of whi-h would seem to be more strictly limited than boots ami shoes , as very few of us have more than one pair of feet .
Yet we find that Messrs . Waukenphast and Co ., who commenced business quite unknown in a small place in Pall Mall , have been enabled to open an establishment in the Haymarker , amply supplied with fitting rooms for ladies , gentlemen , and children , and certainly much handsomer than any other in the trade in London . A proof of success like this is not to be ignored , and can only fairly be
attributed to the fact that Messrs . Waukenphast ' s customers have discovered and appreciated their undeviating principle of giving full value for money , and of making every article of the best quality . —Church Review . THE ROBBERY OF MASONIC J EWELLERY . — At the Guildhall Police Court William Hurren , a respectable-looking young man , living at Swinton-street , Gray ' s-
mn-road , a carpenter , was charged on remand before Mr . Alderman Staples with stealing a number of gold rings and Masonic jewellery to a very large amount from Bro . Kenning ' s warehouses , Little Britain . —The evidence pre . viously given was read over , and Mr . Clark , who prosecuted , now said he wished to state that Mr . Bowman , of 193 and 291 , Holloway-road , the pawnbroker with
whom the greater portion of the property produced was found , had rendered them every assistance , and the pro . secutor felt indebted to him for the recovery of the amount of property they were now able to pioduce . A quantity of Masonic and other jewellery was then produced , and identified as the property of the prosecutor . The prisoner , who pleadedguihy , was committed for trial .
The Jate Southwark Conference created a demand for Compressed Tea beyond all expectations . Bminenl Analysis declare it is only when tea is in its pure and native state that it will yield to pressure under hydraulic power . The London and Provincial Press unhesitatingly assert that if you want a cup of tea in perfection it must be brewed from tea that has been
compressed . Economists advocate the use of Compressed Tea and say if you want to get double the value out of your tea use it Compressed . Teslimotiiats in thousands speak highly of the increased value and advantages in using the finely selected teas of the Compressed Tea Company ( Limited ) . Families are making constant applications for the smallest wholesale quantity supplied , and say , " We aie
compelled to send to the warehouse for Compressed Tea ; because the tradesmen in our locality appear to know nothing of it ; and as one pound weight of Compressed Tea goes as far as two pounds weight of loose tea we hope you will supply us . " Sold in handsome cabi nets—ilb . 2 s . 6 d ., 2 lbs . 5 s-. 4 lbs . 10 s . —got up speciall y for the Easter trade as samples , carriage free to any par of the
kingdom . Works and Warehouse , 36 , Southwark street , London . Arrangements have been completed whereby ^ Tea Dealers can have their own blended and selected teas Compressed at a nominal cost per pound for compressing . All applications for . Agencies for the sale of Compressed Tea , or from traders desirous of opening up wholesale depots for the sale of Compressed Tea tbroughout | the kingdom , must be addressed to the Secretary ,

in an age of commercial enterprise like the present , there seems reall y no limit to the amount of business a man may do , whatever his trade , if only he brings sufficient energy and integrity to bear on his conduct of affaiis . There are few articles the consumption of whi-h would seem to be more strictly limited than boots ami shoes , as very few of us have more than one pair of feet .

Waukenphast and Co ., who commenced business quite unknown in a small place in Pall Mall , have been enabled to open an establishment in the Haymarker , amply supplied with fitting rooms for ladies , gentlemen , and children , and certainly much handsomer than any other in the trade in London .

Waukenphast ' s customers have discovered and appreciated their undeviating principle of giving full value for money , and of making every article of the best quality . —Church Review .
