Flynn, a member of ( 4th Virginia Regiment, was t Providence Hospital from the temporary home for solers, No. 419 9th street north- to be treated for epileptic fits. His on is regarded as very serious. Flynn wandered into the Red Cross head- quarters last evening and was sent by the officers there to the temporary home. Dur- ing the night Flynn had several fits, fright- ening the soldiers there very badly. This morning Flynn was for a time better, but In about an hour was again seized with spasms, which became so frequent and vio- lent that the ladies at the temporary home deemed it best to have him sent to the hos- ital. The hospital authorities reported this afternoon that while Flynn was pretty tick, his condition was not serious. Se Last week of Hoeke's Clearing Sale.—Ad.

WELCOMING ADDRESSES AND RESPONSE Committees Announced by the Most Worthy Grand Master. THE ROUTINE BUSINESS Never, probably, in the history of Wash- ington, famed for its conventions, was there a more imposing spectacle than was presented at the Masonic Temple this morning, when the ninth triennial session of the General Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star convoked. Gold and Jewels, mingled with the insignia of the or- der, combined to render the assemblage a veritable “field of cloth and gold.” Conspic- uous among those present were Mrs. W. Frank Pierce, whose work for the Masonic order of California has rendered her name famous throughout the country, and the Rey. Willis D. Engle of Indiana. But’ among so many, all of whom are promi- nent noi only in the Order of the Eastern Star, but in many other organizations, it is not easy to select those for special men- tion.

In our noble streets, avenues, parks and public buildings, symbolizing the wealth and pow- er of our government, you will find a new inspiration for your patriotism and a larger sense of the greatness of our common coun- try.

Addressing the most worthy grand ma- tron, officers and members of the General Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, Mr. Palmer said: “I deem {t a high privilege as well as a very great horor to appear before you to- day as the representative of the Masonic fraternity of this jurisdiction, to extend to you, in thelr behalf, a cordial and fra- ternal welcome. “We welcome you as. valuable auxiliaries in performing a part, at least, of the benev- olspt wark of the lodges, and the rapid growth of your organization augurs well for an increased ability to render such ser- vice. “This has been a year filled with great events; events that, in their effect upon the p2oples of the world, are destined to be far- rexching and of great power for good in advancing the blessings of liberty and justice. “As Masons, loyal and true to the gov- ernment under which we live, we cannot but rejoice at the marvelous success of our army end navy in th> operations of the war fow, happily, nearing its victorious clese; yet we must realize that in the after- math of battle we will find sorrow for those whose lives have been sacrificed, and great suffering from wounds and sickness r2- ceived in the line of duty, and we will be called upon to minister as best we muy in the alleviation of distress in all its forms. In that service we confidently rely upon your assistance. The members of the Order of the Bastern Star, I am confident, will not disappoint our expectations. “In gathering together in this fraternal meeting, your representatives come from nearly all sections of our glorious country, and it is peculiarly appropriate that you should ass2mble in its capital city, which, ere long, we hope is destined to be the cen: ter of Masonic influence and authori! as it js now the center of political power. “We trust your deliberations may be con, duct2a in harmony; that your actions may be irspired by wisdom, and the result of your efforts be the strengthening of your membership and the enlargement of your power for good throughout the land, and, when you have concluded your labors, may the kind providence und3r whose watch- ful care you have so largely prospered give you safe guidance to your respective homes. “Again I tender_you a hearty w>lcome.” Commissioner Ross’ Address. * commissioner John W.
