Obituary.

publication of all its " . Antigrapha , " or "Reprints . " In addition , he had looked after the mundane interests of his lodge , the compilation ot its minutes , the collection of its annual subscriptions—and this alone is no light task in the case of a lodge which , taking its Inner and Corresponding Circles together , has a muster-roll of some 2000 members—the cataloguing of its library , and last , but not least , the organisation of its annual excursions . Yet . in spite of all these

heavy claims upon his time , Bro . Speth occasionally found leisure to visit other lodges and deliver lectures on the more important questions which arose in connection with our history and the subject of Degrees , & c , & c . We are confident we are not detracting from the very great merits pertaining to the other members of this important lodge when we affirm that much , if not most , of its success was due to his untiring energy and marvellous capacity for work , and we feel sure

there is not a brother on the register of Grand Lodge who will grudge the Secretary of Lodge Quatour Coronati the brevet rank of Past Asst . G . Director of Ceremonies which His Royal Highness the M . W . Grand Master was pleased to confer upon him . As far as lodge and chapter work were concerned , it only remains for us to add that Bro . Speth was elected a joining member of United Industrious Lodge , No . 31 , Canterbury , seven or eight years ago , that he was exalted in the Francis Burdett Chapter , No . 1503 , on the 24 th April , 1883 , became

a joining member of the Wellington Chapter , No . 7 S 4 , Deal , in 18 94 , and was its J . elect . He was , however , an honorary member of quite a number of lodges , prominent among them being the H . umber Installed Masters , No . 2494 , Hull , as wellasof the Illinois and Minnesota Veteran Associations ; nor must we lose sight of the fact that , though his duties did not permit him to give the time for acting as Festival Steward for our Institutions , he was not unmindful of their claims upon his support , and had qualified as a Life Governor both of the Boys ' and Girls' and the R . M . Benevolent Institution .

BRO . JOHN BEWLEY . On Thursday , the nth inst ., the remains of Bro . John Bewley , who , for a number of years , had been a prominent member of the Union Lodge , No . 310 , and for 10 years Treasurer of that lodge , were laid to rest at Carlisle Cemetery with full Masonic ceremonial . A large number of members ot the Union , Beclive , and other lodges attended to pay their last respects to the deceased

brother . The brethren met at the Lodge Rooms , in Fisher-street , Carlisle , and the lodge was opened in due form by Bro . Colton , the W . M ., whence they proceeded to the residence of the deceased in Aglionby . street . The first part of the burial service was held in St . Stephen ' s Church , the Rev . N . F . Buchanan officiating . The pall bearers were Bros . G . White , A Taylor , J . Kirkbride , and T . Long , of Bective Lodge , and Bros . J . Baty , J . Wharton , J . P . Grant , C .

Borstel , W . Pogson , and J . Gray , of Union Lodge . On reaching the cemetery the brethren marched in procession , and on arriving at the grave formed a cordon around it , Bro . F . Ritson , P . M ., P . P . G . P . ; and Bro . J . H . Minns , J . D . ; being Directors of Ceremonies . The Masonic ceremony at the graveside was ably rendered by Bro . R . A . Clark , P . M ., P . P . G . D . C . On the conclusion of the ceremony , tbe brethren returned to the Lodge Rooms and the lodge was duly closed , the Organist playing the Dead March in " Saul" as the brethren retired .

BRO . THOMAS BARLOW . Bro . Thomas Barlow , the Deputy Controller of the Central Telegraph Office London , died somewhat suddenly on Thursday evening , tbe 18 th instant . Willi some friends , the deceased attended Her Majesty ' s Theatre on the previous night . Becoming seriously ill while in the building , he was removed thence to Charing Cross Hospital . Here he died . Bro . IJarlow ' s connection with the telegraph service was lengthy , dating back to the early days of the old Magnetic Company .

Bro . Harlow was the first initiate ( 1 S 75 ) '" St . Martin ' s le Grand Lodge , No . ' 538 ; a founder of the Electric Lodge , No . 20 S 7 , and was W . M . in 1 SS 8 .
