The tramps scouring about the country have a general understunding with one an- other, ana have a ritual of questions and an- swers, says the Brooklyn Review. Their uniform aprearance, periodical visits, rega~ lar calls attne sawe houses, where they have procured food, all point to this. The iteeper of the jail has found curious em- blems about them, has studied their charac- ter and listened to their conversation, uptil he can tell a regular initiated tramp from an honest man, s The following amusing and instructive dia- logue took place between the keeper and one of a squad of tramps recently committed to Jail, “IFrom whence came you!" ‘‘From atown in New York, called Jerusa- lem, *‘What's your business hera?” . “To learn to subdue my appetite and tc sponge my hiving from an indulgent public.” “Then you are a regular tramp, I pre- sume?” . “Iam so taken and accopted wherever I go.) “How am [ to recognize you as a tramp " “‘By the largeness of my feet and general iverous appearance.’’ ‘How do you know yourself to be a mp#" ‘By scoking food; by being often demed, but willing to try again.” 5 *How gained you admittance to this town 1" “By a good many long tramps.” “*How were you received?' - “On the eand of a policeman’s club, pre- ted at my head.” ‘ ow did the policeman dispose of you!"

M. W. Grand Master J. H. Swartwout of the grand lodge of Connecticut, at its 102d anoual session, held at Hartford, Counn., January 15, 1n his address, said: During the past year, edicts have been re- ceived from the grand masters of Pennsyi- vania, Nebraska, Florida and South Dakota, declaricg the so-called ‘‘Cerneau rites clan- destine. In consequenca of the Masonic in- terests involved, the opiuion of the commit- teo on jurisprudence, Luke A. Lockwood of Norwalk, chairman, was solicited by the grand master. Mr. Lockwood, who 18 u New York lawyer, residing in this state, and a gentleman of prominence in Masory, decides that “'so far as the grand lodge is concerned, the re is nothing except what pertaios to tho firs t three aegrees of Masonry: that it can no more have Masonic knowledge of the Scottish Rite than ‘1t can have Masonic knowledge of the numerous secret societies which exist on eve: nd.” Mr, Loskwnod eays in addition: “We cannot afford, nor have we the rignt to do anything whereby a brother, guilty of no moral turpitude and performing all his duties as a good Mason and eitizen, shall be excluded from this guaranteed brotherhood simply because some other society declares that he belongs to a schism of that body and is clandestine.” Mr. Lockwood can sce no reason why the Connecticut grand lodge should, or indeed how 1t can, meddle with cither party to the disscnsions arising in the independent Sgot- tish Rite. The concurrence of Grand Master Swartwout in this view is full and Ol gapttic. It selties the question that the Connew granda lodge of Masons will not become an ally with the grana lodges of Penusylvania Nebraska, Florida and South Dakota in the crusade ogainst the Cernoau Rite.—New York Times, of St. George, will give an entertainment and dance at their lodge room, 1314 Douglas stroet, mext Saturaay evening.
