SECRET ORDERS. MASONS HIGHLY HONORED. The proudest man in Newark was Henry F. Phillips who has grown gray in the advocacy of Free-masonry. Mr. Phillips has been honored to almost ev- ery extent that a Mason could be hon- ored, but recently he was further hon- ored by seeing his five sons simulta- neously raised to the degree of master Mason’s. It was the first in history of the order that five brothers has been raised at one time and therefore, Masons say Mr. Phillipps has good cause to feel proud. The ceremony tock place in the rooms of the North- ern Lodge, and was conducted by Worshipful Master Henry M. Dore- mus. The five brothers are: William, aged 23, Robert, 28, Fred. A., 30, Everett I., 34, Henry A., 36 years. The elder Pitillips is a 32° Mason and Past High Priest of Corinthian Chap- ter. Heis seventy-five years old and has been a Mason forty-eight years.

From the Chicago Sun. Honors came to Lawyer John G. Jones of Chicago, Illinois, when he himself did not know it or expect it. Mr. Charles H. Koith, a resident of Chicago for many years died Decem- cer roth, 1897, and at bis heath he left a large estate to be divided among his relatives and several educational, reli- gious and benevolent institutions. Over three years ago Mr. Keith made his Will and having implicit confi- dence ir the ability and integrity of Mr. Jo’ :s, he named and designated him as utor to carry out the pro- vision ;of his will, he having made his willo ' sthree years ago and during allth; ttime he never made it known to Mr jones or anybody else about the matter until just one hour before his death. Last week, December 15th 1897, in the Circuit Court of Cook county, Mr. John G. Jones was appointed Receiver of the estate of the late Daniel Scott of Chicago. Mr. Scott is a colored man and died about a year ago and estimated to be worth $150,000. Mr. Jones gaye bond and took the oath of office as Receiver December 15th, 1897, and in both of these responsible positions Mr. Jones will prove himself the right man inthe right place for he has held many positions of honor and trust in this city.
