A MURDERED FREEMASON . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , The following clipping from The Pennsylvania Grit of October 17 th last may interest many of your readers . Perhaps some of our American brothers will be able to furnish further information on the subject , and I hope they will do so . —I am , dear sir and brother , yours fraternally ,
GEORGE MARKHAM TWEDDELL . Rose Cottage , Stokesley , November 16 th .
"A woman with a remarkable history—a history that would make many brave men shake—resides near Muncie , Ind ., and is at present quite prominent in an extensive lawsuit against the United States . The woman in question is Mrs . Sarah Barker , nee Morris . Her suit against the United States was brought on by the massacre of her husband and children , destruction
of her home , and other injuries she received personally at the hands of the Cheyenne Indians , for which she wants in the neighbourhood of § 20 , 000 . "A short time ago Hon . John VV . Jones , of Boneman , Mont ., arrived in Muncie to secure evidence to be used in this claim . In her deposition she says : "' We carried on a hotel and store business for
several months , when the Indians attacked us , killing my husband and three other men and capturing myself and my little boy Charlie , who was 15 months old . The Indians burned the house and took all the stock , burned the Wagons and everything on the place , including the hay . ' " Speaking of her own experience when captured ,
she says : ' During the day the Indians would place me on the pole drags and cover me with buffalo robes . Often they would not go into camp until 10 o ' clock at night , eating only once a day , and then sometimes only dog meat . " My child was brought to me in about three months . My babe was brought to me only to be taken in a
heartrending manner . About one month after they brought him to me the chief got angry at him because it was afraid of him , would cry and would not go to the chief . This made the chief so mad that he took it by the neck , threw it upon the ground , and stamped upon it , so it died soon afterwards . They wanted to bury it before it was quite dead . Two squaws and I buried it in a
coffee sack . This was the morning before we broke camp . " A friend went to the place after the Indians had left , and found my husband ' s body in the river and the body of the other man near . Their heads were cut off . He sent me a Freemason pin which he had on , and a piece of his scalp the Indians had dropped . I kept
the piece of scalp as a bloody reminder of my terrible agony . My brother-in law wrote me that the Freemasons went out from Denver and buried the body . " Mrs . Barber is now very feeble at the age of 57 . She is also covered with large white scars , which corroborates the story of her sufferings . Should her
claim be allowed , the government will deduct the amount from money due to the Cheyenne Indians from the United States . "To think this woman's history over , she would surely be judged a marvellous woman , and not many can be found who have had the frightful experiences and endured the sufferings she has . "
A QUERY . Tothe Editor of the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , In the Freemason of the 29 th September last appeared the following : "Is there any authority for the following ? : —
A brother holding Provincial Grand rank , who ceases to be a subscriber to any lodge in the province loses such rank , and if he again joins a lodge in the province is not entitled to wear Provincial Grand clothing until he receives a new Provincial appointment . "
To this no reply has yet appeared in your columns , I am , however , officially informed that— "A Past Provincial Grand Officer is entitled to wear Provincial Grand clothing on all occasions when attending Masonic meetings , whether he continues to subscribe to a Iodge in the province or not . —See Rule 9 6 , Book of Constitutions . " I shall be glad to have the opinion of " Lex
Scripta" and others on this point ; also whether a brother who ceases for 12 months to subscribe to any lodge , in or out of the province , is also entitled to wear the clothing , whilst a non-subscriber , and after he re-joins a lodge ' : A Past Master loses his rank , and so do other officers by ceasing to subscribe . Why should not a Provincial Grand Officer r—Yours fraternally , H . R . G . November 20 th .
- ? - FKNCINU UP MASONIC HALLS . —We have thought for a good while that the fencing up of Masonic halls has been carried to a ridiculous extent . Once , in Maine , the refusal to allow Masonic funeral services to be held in a church dedicatf d to the worship of God was received with intense indignation , and yet within a very few years the same doctrine came to be applied to Masonic halls , but later a more common sense view of the matter has prevailed . — J .

Hogg is well to the front with his gift books for Christmastide , nor have we , as usual , the slightest doubt they will prove acceptable to the public . Of the half-dozen we have received as specimens of his enterprise , the most important is the work entitled
"From Snowdon to the Sea . It contains some 20 stories , the scenes of which lie in different parts of the principality . They are , without exception , admirably told , and those who delight in reading folk-stories and the weird tales and curious superstitions ot an ol 1 country like Wales will find material enough in these pages to gratify their taste .

We may add that the book , wnich is dedicated by permission to Loid Windrom , Lord Lieutenant of
Glamorganshire , is neatly b-iund in cloth and printed in capital type . Mr . Davenport Adams ' s "The Makers of British India " is a new edition of a work which has already found favour with the public . It has been carefully revised and brought down to date , and should be very popular with those who love to read of the adventurous doings of the warriors and statesmen to whom is due the estabhsnment of our rule in India . The rise and growth of the East India Company
is dealt with sufficiently in an introductory chapter covering the period from 1600 to the middle of the last century , and then are described in a series of separate chapters the principal events of successive Governors-General and Viceroys , lrom Chve to the Earl of Elgin , the present occupant of the Vice-regal throne . Mr . Adams has the great merit of being able to record events without bias , and a glorious record it is which he has set before us , and in which will be found
taithlully and concisely described all the great achievements of Chve , Warren Hastings , the Marquis Wellesley , the Marquis of Hastings , the Marquis of Dalhousie , and Viscount Canning ; of Sir Arthur Wellesley , Lord Lake , Sir George Pollock , Havelock and Outram , Lord Clyde , and others .

As regards the smaller works , which are intended for young children , there is little to be said , but that little is in the direction of praise . The task of abridging Mrs .

THE MOZART LODGE , No . 1929 .
This well-known Surrey musical lodge , will hold its second annual ladies' night , at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleetstreet , on Thursday , the 6 th prox . The meetings of the Mozart Lodge are always enjoyable from the fact that most excellent music forms so large a portion of the
fare provided , and on this occasion the programme is a large one—reception , supper , conceit , dance . But what should make the evening specially memorable is that the Prov . Grand Master of Surrey , Bro . Colonel Gerard Noel Money , C . B ., has promised that if "
possibly can , he will be present . Tne musical arrangements will be under the able direction of Bro . George Pownall , the Organist of the lodge , and as to the catering for the more substantial requirements of the guests , the names ot Bros . Clemow and Evans preclude any possible misgivings on that account .

THE MOZART LODGE , No . 1929 .
This well-known Surrey musical lodge , will hold its second annual ladies' night , at Anderton ' s Hotel , Fleetstreet , on Thursday , the 6 th prox . The meetings of the Mozart Lodge are always enjoyable from the fact that most excellent music forms so large a portion of the
fare provided , and on this occasion the programme is a large one—reception , supper , conceit , dance . But what should make the evening specially memorable is that the Prov . Grand Master of Surrey , Bro . Colonel Gerard Noel Money , C . B ., has promised that if "
possibly can , he will be present . Tne musical arrangements will be under the able direction of Bro . George Pownall , the Organist of the lodge , and as to the catering for the more substantial requirements of the guests , the names ot Bros . Clemow and Evans preclude any possible misgivings on that account .
