There has been a zood increase in membership and a sub- stanuial addition to tue coffers of indivia- 1al lodges, as well as of the -rand boaies The next Grand Lodge will assemble at )be, where there are corper mines and gold mines even as famous as this won- eriul money-producer known as the Cop- Queen. ranean surprise and delight may be in ore for the fraternity at Globe next year.

On Wednesaay afiernoon the Grand Commandery received an official visit from the Right Eminent Sir George J. Roskruge, representative of the Most Emi- nant Sir William La Rue Thomas, grand master of the Knights Templar of the United States. Of course it all closed with & banquet, and herein particularly were the grand bodies, the guests of Per- fect Ashlar Lodze No. 12 of Bisbee. The banquet was held in the Grand Opera- house, which, with rare taste, had been decorated with a profusion of cut flowers, flags, emblems and incandescent lights, under the supervision of Mrs. M. Crossey. A very novel feature of the floral adorn- ments was an immense centerpiece upon which were mounted six white doves, each bearing in its beak an ingotof the pure metal that has made Bisbee rich and the Copper Queen famous. After an elaborate menu, toasts were re- sponded to by ex-Congressman N. C. Murphy, ex-Governor L. C. Huches, Grand Master J. B. Craemer, Hon. Carlos G. Young of San Francisco, Senor Palaerz of Hermosillo, Mexico, Colonel Frank Cox, Governor Myron H. McCord, Morris Liwater and Grand Secretary Roskruge. All the speeches were crisp and brief. Governor McCord, in responding to the toast *‘Brotnerly Love,” struck the key- note in his anagram that, whereas, Free- masonry may have begun in the building of Solomon Temple, the work of modern masonry was the building of Solomon for the temple. Whether the lodge room be cavern or hall, it symbolized the universe and the universality of Freemasonry. time he will close his palatial residence at the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street and remove to California, where he purposes to make, bis permanent home. Huntington’s idea in taking this step is to consnlidate his wealth in enterprises on the Pacific Coast. His pet property is the Southern Pacific Railroad, and he feels that it needs attention which can only be given to it by his living in tbe territory through which it runs. Tuen, too, Hunt- ington is undoubtedly beginning to feel the burdens imposed by his many under- takings. Huntington in future will confine his operations to that vart of the country west of the Mississippi River and more particularly to California and the Pacific Coast. Several years ago he disposed of his railroaa properties east of the great river, including the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and has been gradually shifting the offices of the Pacitic Mail Steamsuip Company from New York to California. Some such step as he has now decided upon has therefore been expected in finan- cial circles. He still owas the Newport News Shipbuilding Company at the terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and his intentions in regard to thig are not known. . Having retieved himself of his railroad and most oi his other interestsin the East, he is now reaay to dispose of his real estate interests in this city, which are very large, amount'ng altogether to more than $5000.000. This will be done grad- ually, and, it hardly need be stated, with shrewdness characteristic of the railroad magnate. The first step was taken to-day when Huntington sold through his real estate broker, Charles Macrae, three blccks of land for $400,000. Tbe contracts signed provide for the conveyance of the great tract of land in the rapidly developing Twenty-third Ward, just north of Harlem River. The property, comprising three blocks, fronting on St. Ann’s avenue, which Huntington acquired six or seven years ago, passes into the hards of Henry Morgenthau, a lawyer, who will imme- diately resell to builders for imvrovement.

Mr. Hantington was satisfied with tiie price he received for the property, but at the same time ke realized that if he were to hold it lora vear or two longer he micht take outa greater profit by $100,000 or more, but he s desirous of moving to California and therefore agreed to the ~ale. The residence of Huntington on Fifth venue is one of the most interesting in ew York. Some idea of its interior magnificence may be gained from the fact that the grand staircase, sixteen feet wide and of only two fl'ghts, was built by con- tract for $190,000. It is of selected white statuary marble and onyx. Another fea- ture of the house is the interior court, sur- mounted by a large dome which lights the whole inside of the dwelling trom roof to ground floor. Along the sides of this court are balconies, divided by splendid marble pillars from which one may look down into the court as one would into the pit of a theater.

The decision is an impertant one, in that the original-package law 1s involved. The Judges decided that tiquors and wines in bottles packed in boxes and shipped in carload lots were, under the law of South Carolina, clearly admissible and should be handled by any railrouad.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL SEATTLE, Nov. 13. —The steather City of Seattle arrived here this afternoon from Juneau and Skaguay, Alaska. Among the passengers was Addison Stewart, who was with the Thorpe party. He left his associates eight days ago. They had just reached Lake Bennett with thirty-six head of cattle. The lake and river were freezing rapialy, and by the time the cattle were butchered and sleds buiit it was thought the river would be sufficiently frozen to permit the party starting for Dawson City with the frozen beef. Spokane had also reached Lake Bennett with their droves of cattle. John McArthur of Seattle, who went to Cooks Inlet last spring in the interest of the Alaska Gold svndicate, was also a pas- senger. He made extensive explorations in the country .tributary to Cooks Inlet. He discovered twelve rivers which had never previously been located. He de- scribed it as a rough mountainous coun- try. which he thinks is very rich in quartz ledges, the croppings of which show $7 40 to the ton. McArthur says that a party of twenty men is now camped at Knik Arm, at the mouth ef the Natanuski River, waiting the arrival of the Copper River Indians, who come down to trade at Cook Inlet. The intention of ti:e men is to follow the Indians back, and if possible locate tte field from which they procure the gold brought out by them on tneir trading expeditions. There is now about ten inches of snow on White Pass and about two feet on Chilcoot. People are still packing over both routes.

NEW TO-DAY. Choosing a Husband. . Georze Eliot =wavs in one of her novels, that almost any woman can marry any man she makes up her mind to. Whether this is truth or fiction, certainly a woman chooses Ther 2 husband oftener than & he knows it. But she W, must plaththe negative part. She can onl e sy Taake herself as attrac. tive as possible in a modest, womanly way and rely upon human nature and manly instinet. Z A sensible man naturally seeks a whole. some-looking, healthy, capable companion. Men are not unselfish enough to willingly assume the care of a weak, mervous, de-. bilitated wife. Men are not attracted by a sallow, pimply complexion, foul breath, or thin, emaciated form, because these symptoms are the sure index of poor digestion and impoverished blood. A woman afflicted by these mortifving miseries should seek the powerful, purify- ing and nutrimental influence of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which com. pletely dispels all unwholesome appear. ances by clearing and renovating the organie sources of healthful vitality. It helps the liver to filter all bilious im. purities from the blood. It gives the diges. tive organs power to extract nourishment from the food. It rounds out thin forms wipes away wrinkles, and gives to the com. plexion its natural clearnese and blcom. *“ Your ‘Golden Medical Discovery® cured m¢ of a severe caseof poiconing of the blood.” writes Mrs. Selia Ricea, of Coast, Sauta Cruz Co, Cal. **Boils one after another would break out oz myarms, and were very painful.
