ECHOES FROM THE ANTE-ROOM Nows apd Gossip of the Weok 0] St oomaso‘ the Fraternities. THESTATE SOCIETIES. Interesting Masonic Notes—Resnmeo ofthe Week Among the Pythians L—Facts and Figures gfor i !ho Initiated, Masons. ‘Work on.the Masonic hall at 'Seward sus- pendea during the winter is now being rap- idly pushed forward, and the lodge will soon have a home of its own at that place. The hall is to be finished in good style, and will be s handsome and commodous a lodge room as any interior town in the state can boast of. A chapter of Royal Arch Masons is to bo in- stituted as soon as the new hall is completed. The laying of the corner-stone of the new Masonic temple at Denver has impressed upon the News the march of Mason: From King Solomon's temple whose wealth of stone and cedar and gold and precious stonos excited the wonder and admiratior. of the barbaric world, down through the ages to Denver, the city of the modern world which has grown up during the generation, Ma- sonry has marched. No organization 18 more ancient, more honorable; none has such a wondrous history ; none 8o truly upites the dim and fading past with the live and pro- gressive present. Its record 1s a demonstra- tion of the truth of christian history; in its mystic rites and solemn ceremonies are the evidences of the faith and charity which rule the better nature of man, in all ages, in ail countries, and in every race. The laying of the corner-stone of the new Masonic temple i this city vesterday is an event whicii has moro than an ordinary bear- ing upon the social life in our city, to say nothing of the coafidence which it portra in the commercial and industrial future of Denver, of Colorado, and of the entire Rocky monntain scction. It implies a bolief in tho permanence of oir growth and the progres. sive character of our future, which is as firm as the massive granite which, laid and_dedi- cated by ancient and mysterious symbols, hus become the corner-stone of the magnificent temple which is to become the future home of the order in the west, The event was naturally one of importance to the order, and was very popularly made the oceasion of more than usual ceremony and display. Asthe order marched in parade through the streets of the new city, where all the forces of modern civilization are crys talizing, and where influences are forming which are destined to exert far-reach- effcets on the coming days of ropublic, if nov of the world itself, aring the symbols of thew rank, and- 1in elegant regalia and splendid uniform, the proscssion was a suggestion of the past, present and future, more impressive and in- structive than any which Denver has ever before witnessed. 1t recalled the days of Judaism, when_in fulfilment of the prophe. olpmoni,£the wisest and most magnifi- ewish constructed the most in which the worship of ever celebrated, one stone of which was not lefh wpon auother by the furious an <ol ir‘rhumh'r Titus; it recalled the cmpirefind the days of the imperial whg want down at last beforo the tido infvasion; 1t recalled the dark ages when ignorance and superstition held déspotie away over Europo; it recalled the days of 9‘ vy and <the’ crusades, when thE red crdds:@¥the Templar lod the hosts of Christendom’ buck to the plains of Pales tine, and MIs §word crossed with the sabre of-the Sardeotin martal combat for the pos- sessfon of Jérusalem; it recalled the awaken- ing of thewodla to a new iife, the dawn fi- clvilization, the = discovery J2the rise of the mew rogross of tho pioneer . ypsterday masonry daid the new: templd’ in this city of the plains and mountains. As it marched yesterduy through Denver's streots, so has it marched down through tho ages, with the dignity of centurics inpressed upon its brow, the lope and courage and faith of the untold futlre stamped upon its features, and giving promise of better days to come in which shll bo recognized. the universal brother- hood of man, Itecognizing the importance of yesterday's ovent, tho News congratulates the entire or- der on the snceess which attended the cere- monics, and on the evidence which it gives of the growth, and power and wealth and prosperity of masonry in the Rocky wmoun- tas. Itaise congratulates Denver on hay- ing been chosen as the site of this tom- pleof the ovder, which combines in itself so much that is ancient, so much that is honorable, 50 much that is good and lc and upright in man. The temple that King Solomon built has boen destroyed, and the mold of centuries hides its founda- ti ons, but Masonry has flashed down through the ages to light up the present, and place its imprint upon Denver's growth. May the granite corner-stono laid yesterday restas firm as the mountains from which it was taken, illustrating in its permanence the continued existence of the order until the end of time. ‘The Masons of New York have proved their financial ability, and are about to cole- brate publicly. Says' the New York Sun: ‘The Masoiic fraternity of this state is arrangiug a monster celebration in commen- oration of the lifting of the big debt_from the Musonic ball and the asylum, ~Every penny of the debt, which, at one time, amounted to over $1,500,000, hus been_ paid, and there is much joy amoug Masons in this state. The date of the jubilee has becn fixed for April 24, Grand Seeretary Ehlers, ina letter to the various lodges of the cralt, says: *Upon the evening of thatday (April 24) let the brethren throughout the state asscmble, either in their usual places of mecting, or elscwhere, us may be found most conven- ient, and let every part of our brond jut diction echo with'one umversal acclaim praise and thanksgiving to the Most High! “That one and all will joyfally unite in this celebration s not for s moment to bo doubted, and conceiving it impossible to de- viso any form of commemoration which would be applicable to the widely varying circumstances that surround the lodges in this great state, entire discretion is left to all as to the form of excreises which are to be held. Tv however, suggested that they be, as far as circumstances will permit, uniform in their character, embracing appro- priuto addresses, music, and above all, the offering up of our devotions to the Giver of every good and perfect gift.” ‘Tho grand lodge of Masons in this city will hold its jubilep in Masonic Lemple, Sixth avenue andMlventy-third street.

The cheap insur- ance of this organization is a great factor in increasing membership. Devuty Maltby is working on the organi tion of a mew camp in North Omaha, and has succeeded insecuring thirty signaturos to the application for a charter. ‘The new camp will probably be located near the cor- ner of Saunders and Cuming stroet. 'his move is looked upon as assisting camp 120 in that a spirit of healthy rivalry will be en- gendered. Members of 120, therefore, wish the new camp Godspeed. Knights Templar, The grand commandery of Nebraska will meet in annual conclave at York, at 8 o'clock in the afternoon of Tuesday, April 30, 1850 William R. Bowen, grand recorder, has made arrangements for the transportation of Templars which he explains thus: Each one who attends the conclave should purchase a ticket to York, and take the railroad agent's roceipt for amount paid; if 100 attend the conclave I will in grand commandery certify on the receipt that he is entitled to a return ticket at the reduced rate. The reduced fare can be obtained in no other way.
