Thay sanis of the dosort grow warmer & the san approaches the meriaian, and the camels, with mild, genile oyes, look long- fogly for tho oasis that rises Along the wost- ern horizon line. Tired ard weary the nobles of the Mystic Shrine, who, for & year have had the oasis of Tangier in their mind, see 118 broad palm trees reflooted in thoe sky, and the atmosphierogrows more humid as they ap- proach its cooling shade. The desert of daf- fodils and iris, which Lot immortalizes, stretchos to tho blue expanse, bu the camel drivers scant the water from afar off and their jaded bonsts brighten as the vision of refreshmont and rest unfolds illimitably. There will be fantasias innumerable, strango spectacles, magnificent mounas with fresh wilk in jars to cheer the tired travelers to Tangier’s shrine, F'rom out of the desert there comes encour- aging roports that the oasis of Omaha will Yave an opportunity to ent n large cara- yans of LODICS WhO are now in 0Asos through- sut the length and breadth of tho land pre- taring for uheir aunual pilgrimago this year (0 Tangier. At a largely attended meeting of the ox- weutive committee of the Shriners Wednes- day evening the reports already roceived show that quite 25,000 Shriners and Knlghts ~ Templar will take posses- sion of Owaha August 13-16 , and that while the members of Tangier had raised sufiicient money to_entertain the im- perial council and tha members of the Mystic Shrine in consonance with the dignity be- fitting theso Arabic nobles, it would be nec- essary to call upon the peoble of Omaha for at loast §10,000 to properly entertain the Knights Templar who will be the guests of the city and rowurning from the trien- nial conciave av Denver. The Board of Trado and the Real Estate Owners association have pussed resolutions commendatory of tho ef- forts being mude by the local Shriners to raise the ammount wanted and have appointed committecs to assist in its solicitation, ¥rom the psoard of Trade the commities on ways and means will have tho ussistance of Kuclid Martin, W.

A F and AL M, Tho recent report of William R, Bowen, grand secrotary of the Nebraska grand lodge, A F. & A. M., winds up as follows : ‘Cerncauism has been considered or re- ferred to in noarly every pamphlet we have perused, but we have not deemed the matter worth time or space in this reviow. It is practically a deau issue; overy grand lodgo that has passed upon it has condemned 1t; it 15 no longer active except in u_romote corner of the United States; wany of our brothren wore beguiled into t, in Nevraska and else- where, have renounced their allegiance or quietly dvopped 1t; in medical parlanco the foreign matter has boen encysted and it is harmioss now. Its supreme council at Now York eity uppears to be bankrapt: its pro- ceedings “of October, 1890, show ~ appropria- tions to the amount of near §3,000 from a cash balance on hund of about $300, (with what scems 1o be a further indebtedness of §2,000, thus making a total deficiency of $4,500) ; and neither its proceedings of Octover, 1591, nor the adaress of its grand commander at that, session, have beea publishea up to the date we finish this review (Apri 92). “This is the end of it; we arc content.’ " To this the Masonic Chroniclo takes excep tion in tho following comment: The report ho [Bowen| has personally fur- nished,: that the body he denounces is of suflicient popularity to be meutioned ‘‘in nearly every pamphilet ho has perused” (he haviug reviswo® and mentioned tifty-five) at > demonstrated its vitality, even under of grand lodge reviewers through d of grand lodge funds expended in paper and printing, therefore it c: considered tically a dead issue. Ve do not find ten erand lcdges that have stepped outside of their Masonic cou proceduro to meddle with the c to, outstde of tho ‘‘rovie erally consider the saying of each other voice of their respective grand lodges, which is & great error. In regard to the dropping off of the mom- bership in Nebraska, or elsewhere, we have not received any such veports, but on the coutrary find that the most popular and Jead- iug Masonic brothren are being initiated ana advanced on the volls of Nobraska bodies, and that they do not, nor have they consid- erad themsclves as having been “‘beguiled into"” memberskip in a representative body of the rite congenial to the Freemasons of the United States of America. As to the ‘bankruptey” of the veteran body he thus assails, we tind from the pro- ceedings of which he quotes, a balance of §731.45 in the nands of the treasurer, while the account mentions the receipt of ' loan for certain proper use. It by no means shows o toudency to bankruptey, as its library alone is well worth doublc its liabilities, while its nssots in other kinds are of equal value to double the amount of the loan al- luded to. As to the assertion that the address of the eign grand commander or the procoed- of tko session of 1801 huve not been pub lished, we cau only sav that the address was mailed to tho “revi " 1n October last and that over fifty coples were circulated in Omaha, Neb.,” duding the latter part of the year 1801, while 3,000 copies thereof wero distributed w various sections of the United States, We must, however, apolozizo to tbe worthy grand scerctary of the grand lodge of Nebraska 1f we have neglecta | forwarding a copy of the proceedings of 1801 1o his ad dress; we now, however, mail a copy, which he will no doubt receive’ before he reads our review, and we only regret that he not meutioned the nonreceipt long since, as we would no doubt have had the pleasure of reading his review of same among those of the grand lodges of his late report. A public installation of the ofticers-elect of Parian lodee No. 207, A. F. and A. M., took place at Masonic hall, Callaway, last Friday eveuing in the preseuce of a large audien of invitea guests. Mr. K. G. Wilson of Sum. ner acted as D, M., and following are the names of tho newly installed officers : Frank L. Haycock, W. M.; H. H. drows, S. W.; W. H. Peun,J. W. Piko, treasurer; P. Diccks, socrotary Moran, S. D.; H. Lomax, J. D.; K. B. Need- ham, S.; A. L. Mathews, J. S.; John W, Bouham, tyler. At tne conclusion of the installation cere- monies u large curtain was drawn, disclosing two tables extending cloar across tho rear of the ball, beautifully decorated with flowers and loaded with ice cream, cake and other delicacies. The guests were invited to make themselves ut home, which they did with a will, and the remainder of the evening was spent in discussiug the good things set be fore them. The members and friends of Jordan lodgo No. 27, Ancient, Freo and Accepted Masons, were entertuiucd Friday evening at their ball by install ceremouies and later at Krause's nall, where supper was provided. W. C. Krause, retiving master, was install- inz officer, and the following were nstalled for the ensuing vear: D). C. Giffert, master; R Barnett, S. W.; Joo Zajicok, 4. W.; L. C.

With that same feel- ing which exists now the camp is destined to become the largest in the jurisdiction of wooderaft. No. 120 has not passed a meeting in the past three mouths that from oce to six havo not walked the mysterious paths into the seerecy af the ordor. Last Wednesday ovening us the camp hud finished the dogren work on five eaudidatos, an alarin at the door was heard which was communicated to the officers 1nside that a committee of royat neiglvors wore outside desiring an audienco with the camp, After finishing the business of the cveulng as quickly as possible tho door was opened and instead of a committoe, us had been announced, in walked about fifty of the wives of the me , each car- rylig @ baskst on her avin, loadea full of such things as wake o hungry man smile. Later a catorer walked in with u teu-galion can of ico cream. Tho camp members were thoroughly surpris:d. After the surprise bad partly subsidea Venerable Counsel W. K. Cady cullod the gathoring to order, call- g upon Dr. Merriam to b.d the ladies wel- come, which was responded vo on benalf of the Jadios by Mrs. Eastman, after which Brother Lindbure played & selection from one of the light operas. Then W. C. Van- wuilder responded 1o the toast. offerad, “Our Ladios," which Mrs. J. W. Vaogoiider an- swered i responding 1o “Our Menfolk.” Brother Kussell then offered an original poem entitlod, “*Royal Noighbors.” The im- Promuty exercises closed with & cotule soug by Neighvor Broadhunt, after which bigh five und danciug rounded out the evening. 1 1 Order of Red ‘The 1nstallation of the oficers of Yab-Nun- Dab-Sis rive.

A large gathering is exvected and a pleasant time anticipated. Visiting Red Men will be welcome.

The exhibit will illustrate the educational work of the Catholic church in America from the beginning to tho presen’ time; the religious and moral instruction and iraining of youth; the study of the history and lan- guage of the country and of ancient and modern lauguages, and the work of schools of various nationalities, whether Germa Frouch, Spanish, Polish, Italian or Bohe- mian. Committees for the collection of material have been appointed in the dioceses of Chi- 0, Denver, Detroit, Cleveland, Covineton, Wayne, Kansas City, La Crosse, New Orleans, Natchez, Philadelphia, Pittsburz, San Francisco, Sioux Falls, Manchester, Dallas, Milwaukes and Cincir interest is manifested t he various - tional orders of the church, all of whom pro- pose making special offorts to collect the de- sircd material.

From a literary standpoint much of the {iug matter borrowed by the teachers de- serves no commendation.

Perhaps it is because poor writers cannct make good Short stories that the showing here is so much better, for there is an en- couraging call for the collected stories of James Lane Allen, itichard Harding Dayv Mary E.
