Garden fichus and half shawls of white muslin and lace are worn with hats of shirred muslin to correspond. Anemone-pink, cafe au_lait, apricot, nun's gray, and strawberry silk waists are worn at afternoon teas, with the pretty Flemish jackets of russot, gray, or cream-white foule cloth. The handsome Louis Quatorze vest of em- broidered crepe de Chine, cut to fall low and broad below the waist, is a feature of styl- ish redingote gowns for afternoon recep- tions, One principal characteristic of the autumn styles will be the increased populavity of the directoire redingote, which will appear in many forms, of greatly varied materials, and with simple or elaborate trimmings to suit the various occasions in which it will be worn, The printed American silks brought out this season form some of the most atiractive toilots at_the summer resorts. They are made of the printed silk alone, with velvet ribbon trimmings; or they form empire gowns that open on & plain silk skirt and ‘waist. Besides the ploated and brier-stitched silk blouses and shirt-waists now so popular in stylish summer dresses for negligee uses are some very handsome little tucked models of crepe or taffota silk in Roman red, in straw- berry, torracotta, beige apd other noveltics are seen. Silk-embroidered crepe du chine with deep netted frines form the most elegant and dressy light wraps for thie piazza. They are especially popular in cream white, as they may be worn with any dress. They also ap- pear in ciel-blue, Boglish pink, mauve and pale corn-color. 5 ‘The Spanish peleiine is, uow considered the ht of style, and is, worn with dressy toilets of every descriptibh. It consists of a shoulder cape of real Spanish and Chantilly lace in a combined pattefn, with scarf ends that fasten with a jewelled clash ut the belt, and fall to the foot of the dress skirt. For very young ladies are fichus composed of extra-wide sash ribbons, These arc joined diagonally at the middleof the back, crossed in front with a few pleats to conform them to the figure, and kootted at the waist be- hind. Thatis a style revived from one pop- ular tho latter part of the last century. The gray ana silver shades are strikingly beautiful this scason, and in very many cases these tuts take the precedence of all others, In stylish and_recherche English costumes, very clegant fancies are achieved in gray camels’ bair and gray royal armure, with vests of old rose or white silk, wrought with silyer-silk vine emoroidery. In copying many features of the ecclosias- tical or chatelainé garments worn by fash- ionable women of the so-called dark ages, costumes and toilets that are exceedingly novel and striking have been produced. Modern elements, however, are added, and therefore the gowns are both pretty and picturesque. They have been worn this scason by slender, youthful women with great success, The artistic medixval tea gowns, with cui- rass corsage axd full siirts, are very charm- ingly made of the soft beautifully tinted silk muslins, brocaded with roses and foliage. ‘These are invariably mude up over silk lin- ings the shade of the gown, Neither rib- bons or flowers are worn with these dresses, but upon the corsage is a deep wurn down collar of Venctean lace, this reaching toa decided point on the front of the V-shape opening in the neck. There are lace cufls to match. Traveling dresses for autamn brides will be made variously of Indiana cloth, French camels’ hair (still a leading favorite abroad), glace mohair, bordered kKnghish serge and silky Henrietta oloth. A large portion of theso will be made up over silk skirts the same color as the woolen goods. Some will be trimmed with expensive silk silk cord arabesque bands, with special ornaments ot the sameon the bodice; others with rows of narrow watered riboon on the cdges of the overdress or Grecian draperics, The caprice for borrowing details from masculine attire grows still more evident, and in tmlor-made walking suits and tennis and yachting costumes, there is really very little except _the skirt to distinguisii them from men’s dress. Soft felt hats in blac white and gray are worn, caps with cloth ol leather visors, stiff neckties with scarf pins, sailorknots and collars, vests and cutaway jackets, link buttons, shirt walsts with studs and soon, These little affectations appear most charmingly with sweet sixtoen, LU CONNUBIALITIES, Four elopements occurred one day last week at Patterson, N, Ji There hus not been ‘& marriage at Hope Center, Miss,, for the [jst eight months.

Preston, of the Bighteenth judicial aistrict of Towa, to whom was pro- sented the position of the Iowa Consistory, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the United States, their territories, ote., praying for an injunction to restrain the grand lodge of Towa Masons from interforing in any way with the rights and liberties of the said con- sistory or its incumbent, as stated in these columns, ordered tho clerk of tho district court to issue a temporary injunction. In accordance with these instructions, the clerk issued a writ to the grand lodge of Towa of Free Ancient and Accepted Masons, James D. Gamble and I, S. Parvin, res- training them from, in any manner, exorcis- ing jurisdiction, supervision or inquiry in any manner or form into or touching the mémbership of the said grand consistory of Towa of the Ancient and Accepted Scottisn Rite for the United States of America, their territories and dependencies, or any of its subordinate bodies: and, from in any manner or form asserting or declaring that the said erand consisting of lowa or its subordinate bodies, or any of them, are not entitled to act within he state of lowa; and from de- claring or maintamning in any manner or form that auny other consistory, or its sub- ordinate bodies, are entitled to confer masonic degrees within the state of Towa in preference to the plaiutiff, the grand con- sistory above mentioned, and form in any manner or from issuing any edict, circular, letter, communication, publication, or making any oral declaration or taking any action socking in any form or degroo to enfo action of the grand lodge so far as the affects the grand consistory above men- tioned, or any of its subordinate bodies, or its or their members, or any person seeking or desiring to become a member thorcof, until the further order of the court in the promises. A Circular From Judge Gorman, Judge John J. Gorman, of New York, sov- ereign grand commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the United States, their torritories and dependencies, has issued a circular bearing upon the action of the Iowa grand lodge of masons at its last session relative to the Scottish Rite bodies in that state. The following is a brief syn- ovsis: 1 have had placed in my bands a copy of a pamphiet which 18 an extract of the pro~ ceedings of the grand lodge. A committee of the grand lodge, to whom the matter was referred, reported as follow: “‘We are not called upon, neither do wo a: sume to determine, the legitimacy of eithor of the Ancient and Accepted Rite bodies now occupying the territorial jurisdiction of the stato of lowa.” The grand lodge, in the face of this re- port, passed a serics of resolutions, the first of which recognizes the southern jurisdiction supreme council as_legitimate and says it is now entitled to exclusive jurisdiction in the statcof owa. By their second resolution they refuse to recognize the supreme council of the United states, their torritories, ete., as legitimate and its consistories or other sub- ordinate bodies the vight to occupy the jur- isdiction of the state of Towa. The grand lodge has no right or power to grant, or rofuse to graut, permission to ar Scottlsh Rite body to confer Scottish Ri degrees from the fourth to the thirty-third inclusive. As well might they také upon themselves the right to permit, or refuse to pormit, Master Masons of lowa joining or anizing bodies of the Mystic Shrine, Knights of Pythias or Odd Fellows, etc. “Therefore, the third and fourth resolutions adoptod by them is usurpiuga power over which they have no control. The committee report that the grand lodge of Iowa adopted a resolution in IN52 and re- afirmed it in 1806, and further revort that in 1888 it was the univritten law of the grand lodge, and ns such is still in full force and effect s follows: Resolution of 1852: “The grand lodge of lowa recognizes the superior bodies in the Unitea States and foreign countries, having in charge Masonic degrees, as the supreme councils of the ancient and accepted rite and the consistories, the general grand chapter and the grand encampment and their con- stituent bodies, gravd and subordinate, cte.” Whilo it is_preposterous and ridiculous for the grand lodge of free and accepted Ma- sons of Iowa to recognize any body of Ma- sons as superior 10 it, in_its territorial juris- diction, or any degrecs superior to the de- grecs over which it has lawful control, they do, by the terms of this resolution and by their unwritten law, fully recognize our sub- ordinate bodies, we being a superior council “having in charge Masonic degrees’ of tho aucient and nccepted rite - this state from 1555 to 1850, ‘There are in Towa about 22,000 aitiliated master Masons, The supreme council Unied States of America have over 600 Scottish rite Masons of their obedience in lowa. "The Southern jurisdiction ancient and ac- cepted have 207 wmembers of their obedience in Iowa. ‘Tho representatives of the 237 Scottish rite Masons, Southern jurisdiction, have caused the representatives of 22,000 master Masons in lowa to make a most egrogious mistake, placing thom in very unenviable position before the Masonic world in conse- quence thereof. The grand lodge of Towa oy its first rosolu- tion recownizes the supreme council southern jurisdiction, and say that it 18 now eutitled w exclusive jurisdiction in Iowa. In doing 80 they must, of course, recognize all the rights the southern jurisdiction claim under their constitution and statutes. Do they recognize the right of the south- orn jurisdiction, or any person, Mason or profane, to print, publish or sell’ the secrot ritual of the dress of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft or Master Mason, in lowa or elsewnerot The supreme council, souther: jurisdiction does print, publish and sell the secrot ritual of Entered Apprentics, Fellow Craft and Master Mason degrees in lowu and elsewher Article 13, scotion 2, jurisdiction, 1s as follows general, active member, and cach daputy of the supreme council, or of any inspector- general, shall have 18sued to him one copy of each ritual of tho degrees from one to thirty- two. Articlo 18, section 4, statutes of southern jurisaiction: “Every lodgo of perfection must haye one of the rituals of the Blue ¢ grees wlth the secret work and may have four copies of that ritual.”” . Docs any grand lodge of Master Masons in the world except owa, sanction this, or rec- ognize any body as Masonic who would do this? What says the grand lodge of Ken- tucky, Utah, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and Ohio to thist The grand lodgze of Towa recownizes the tes southern ch inspector- Southern Supreme Council and gives 1t ex- clusive jurisdiction in Iowa, Exclusive jurisdiction to do what! To or- ganize Scottish Rite bodics, and disseminate printed copies of the secret ritual of the Blue lodge degrees in that jurisdiction. Do they recognize their right, as Supreme Council Ancient and Accey RRite Southern jurisdiotion to establish Blue lodges and to confer the degrees of tho Blue lodged [, tions,” 1800, p. 49, speaking of the Latin coustitution of 1786, Lrotber Pike states: **The assertion of our illustrious brother ‘that these constitutions disclaim all control over the first three degrees, wherever organizations of those degrees exist,’ that the framers of these constitutions *prohibit their successors from meddiing with the symbolic degrees’ and that ‘that their action was 10 be confined to the lodges of Perfee- tion and to the degrees above and including the fourth or secret waster,’ are strangely incorrect, Does the grand lodge of Iowa, in unquali- fledly recognizing and mving exclusive juris- giction to the southern jurisdiction, subscribe to this monstrous dogtrine as Masonici The recognition by the grand lodge of Towa of the supreme council ancient and ac- cepled rite of the southern jurisdiction means that they recognize the full power claimed by said supreme councll, i.e., to make Masons priot aud sell secret rituals of the degrees of entered apprentice, fellow | bodies, oraft and Master Mason, and organizo bodies theroof, if they desire to do so. Grand lodges and grand mastors have no constitutional nor inherent right to interfere With, O poWor over, & chapter of Royal Arch Masons, council of royal and solect muste sommandory of Knighta Templar, tomplo of Mystio. Shrine, supreme councll of ' tha Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, the Royol Masonio Rite, or their constituent notwithstanding none but Master Masons are eligible for the sevoral orders named. Nor have thoy any right, constitu- tional or inherent, to say what bodies or or- ganizations, Masonio or other, that any M ter Mason of 1ts obedience shall or shail not join or become a member. The fact that a grand lodge adopts a reso. lution or report of a committee which is clearly beyond its constitutional powor to do, regardloss of consequences, and that such resolution or report iaterferes with the | vestod right of any Master Mason, it oan not bo expected that such Master Mason will stand idly by and permit, without resistance, his rights to be taken from him any more than ho would lawfully submit to have his proporty taken from him by forco unlaw- Tuily. When a grand lodge of Free and Accepted Masons 80 far forgets its dignity that it will lond itself to the upholding of the falling for- tunes of & body or organization over whioh it has not and novor had controi or authority, it is not spoaking harsh of it 1o 81y it occu- plos a very peculiar position as a grand lodge of F'rec and Accepted Masons, The Aucient and pted Rite of the southern and northern jurisdiction is woak and helpless, indeed, if they are compellod 10 call upon the grand lodges and say, “*Help me, or 1 sink.” We ask no such holp, and being in tho right wo will ot surrender our manhood at the command or caprice of any one. We are entirely self-reliant, and abundantly able to take caro of ourse! s, Beo Hive lodge No. 184, Masons, will bo constituted at South Omuha, Monday even- ing, at 8 o'clock, It 18 understood that a ::r;:'ln number of Masons of Owmaha will at- nd. Knights of hins, The paternal lodge, Nebraska No. 1, is in the throes of o slight disagreement. It has N0 attachments of a serious character, but it presents some ugly complications, which do not argue well for harmony in the lodge. The facts concerning it, oriefly, are thus: A few weeks ago there seemed to be a dis- position on the part of its mombership to take a recess i _its meetings until the cool weather of the fall set in, Acting upon this disposition the chancellor commander of the lodge, W, S. Spencer, called a special meet- ing during the day of a legal quorum of the members for the consideration of the subject. The result of the meeting was that a recess was tagen until Septem: bor. ~ Communder Spencer acted i con- formity with the late law of the grand lodge In this matter, and holds that his position is proper and legal, and by the action of the lodge at the special meeting no further meet- ings of the lodge can be held until Septem- ber. Meanwhile some of the members of the lodge who were not favorable to the plan of rece being headed by Suvreme Representative J. S. Shropshire, have b holding reular meetings as usual. Mr. Shropshiro claims that the by-aws of the lodge do not provide for any special meetings, save in the casc of funerals, ana the action of the lodge in the special meeting was entirely illegal Those members who supportthe chancellor commander i the action of the special meet- i e, in most t, absenting themselves from the weekly meetings now being held, while those who observe the legal advice of Mr. Shropshire are somewhat _concerned a8 to which of tneir leaders hold the correct position. Itsceins that the by-laws of Nebraska lodge, under which Mr. Shropshiro claims lezal action, antedates the law for subordi- nate lodges now in force, but, as it is clmmed by Mr. Spencer do not conform to the pres- ent law, J.

Explain Their Reason For Repudiating the Purchaso. The fact that Kean & Co., of Chicago, re- fused to accept the §75,000 Otoe county bonds, purchased by Mr. John Dele, their Omaha represeat , at & premium of §305, was first made known in financial civcles hore through a telegram to Tue Bee from ka City to that effect. A reporter allea ut the ofee of Mr. Dale, who, when questioued, suid Shortly after I made the purchase, which was authorized by Koan & Co.,, I received a lotter from that firm, in which they in- formed mo that the bonds wero undesirable for the following raasons, v That 1 Feb- ruary, 1583, the legislature vested the power to issue county bonds in the county commis- sion : that ia March following the legislaturo enacted a luw which authorized the issuanco of county bonds only unon vote of tio pe ple. Ior this reason the luw in this respe was regarded complex, and the legality of the bouds rezarded questionable. ‘They also stated that thoy haa discovered that Otos county had neglested to pay in- terest on defaulted bonds, and this, toxether with the other, made an investment in Otoo county bonds unde- sirable. They elaim that they authorized the purehiase of the bonds nnder a misappre= hension 08 to their actual value, 1 do not think Kean & Co, have acted fairly in the matter.” Mr. Dean then handed the reporter a copy of u lettor which hie addressed to Kean & Co., relative to their action in not accopting the'bonds s purchased, unconditionally. Ho stated in the letter that' he bad reason to be- lieve that the bonds were substantial, and that he was fully convinced of the ability of Otoe county to meet its obligations, His let- ter to Koan & Co. was pungent, and he up- braided them for repudiating a lawful tran- saction, A Dominican Preacher, Rev MeckKennn, O.
