AIL, Masonry divine! Glory of ages, shine While time shall last! Where'er thy votaries are, Let Love and Peace be there ; Let thy good works compare With ages past. Great mission thine below — This pilgrimage of woe Thine 'tis to cheer. With open heart and hand, Thy sons in every land, At Charity's demand, Are ever near. As, since the Day of Light, Blazing with lustre bright, Thy star hath shone; So may its brightness send Joy, gladness, without end, Till Eternity attend, And Time be gone. * (Sung at the Laying of the Cornerstone of the Widows' and Orphans' Home.) THE MASONIC TEMPLE. ^he Masonic Temple of San Francisco, erected in the years i860 and 1861 ^-^ by the Masonic Hall Association, is the only example of pure Gothic aichi- tecture to be found to-day in San Francisco. It fronts 160 feet on Post street ^nd 75 feet on Montgomery street. From the sidewalk to the top of the balustrade is 79 feet, and to the tt ,^f the tower is 139 feet. It is not, of course, a modern building in the strictest sense, but for comfort, A CORNER IN THE HALLWAY. quiet elegance and adaptability to the purposes of the Order it ranks with any of the greatest buildings of the City. As one enters the portals of the Temple, the appearance of the large hallway produces an impression not soon to be forgotten. The oil paintings of Past Grand Masters and Past Masters, on the walls, recall to memory the deeds and benefactions of the living and the dead. The r e are four Lodge rooms in the Temple, King Solomon's Hall being the larg st Masonic Lodge room in the State. THE TEMPLE. *2> % V, ^ tfunq m L 1111 L> I L.

VERSE XIII. asonic Widows 1 and Orphans' pome Speculative Masonry Operating on Practical Lines, as Illustrated by the Brethren of the Grand Juris- diction of California, in its Construction at Decoto, Alameda County, California. ALJFORNIA is distinguished as the "land of sunshine, fruits and flowers," and as such is preeminently fitted to serve as a type or symbol of the happiest conditions of human life, when its environments are pleasant and its experiences are enjoyable. L,ife, no matter under what genial skies it may find de- velopment, is subject to vicissitudes and changes with invari- able accompaniments of sorrow and heart break, which end in distressing bereavements. There are sections of country over which ever and anon sweeps the terrific blizzard, emblematic of the pain and anguish of life's pitiless storms. When such destructive forces are in full play, the unfortunates exposed to their icy and death-giving touch would gladly avail themselves of any shelter, no matter how unpretentious it might be, to escape the desolations encompassing them. Who would refuse to open such a door of shelter to the victims of the blizzard ; thus, with the outstretching of succoring hands to help those of our kind who are suffering from the distresses of life ? In every age, and amongst all peoples, the instincts of humanity have found more or less expression. The perfection of such activities is the outgrowth of the culture and enlightenment of the present age. Eleemosynary institutions are largely the product of modern civilization. Hu nanitarianism voiced _itself but feebly, even amidst the splendors of Roman and Grecian dominancy. In those ancient days, the records of which are con- sidered classical, sentiment as regards the unfortunate found but little pi ic advocacy, and but occasional private expression. Religion, with all its noble teaching and impressive ceremonies, failei to satisfactorily exploit itself in the relief of human distress. The crushing processes of life went ceaselessly on, like the remorseless grind of "the upper and new " mill-stones of the gods." In the days when nations found quick extinction uuq.. the touch of an irresistible tyranny, and the horrors of war were the common, if not every day experience of the masses, it is no wonder that humanitarianism was considered a poetic thought rather than an actual virtue. The causes which ultimated in changing these harsh conditions were numer- ous. All large growths are slow, as the oak in contradistinction to the cotton wood tree illustrates. Thus in things appertaining to civilization. Development was the magic wand which eliminated from the barbaric splendors of a heartless dominancy the thought that to be great the weak must be crushed, and the dependent obliterated. What a contrast ! To-day the ideals of charity are crystallized into practical form. Institutions innumerable are organized, equipped and maintained, to brighten the lives of sorrowing men, women and children. One of the distin- guishing glories of the present civilization is its care of the unfortunate. Humanitarianism is finding practical exemplifications. The brotherhood of man has become a fact and has therefore ceased to be a fancy. Dreams of deliverance have eventuated into actualities. Masonry has never celebrated its successes on the lines of human helpfulness by blare of trumpet and corresponding shouts of victory. The Order of Free and Accepted Masons illustrates the principle of unostentatious charity by not letting the " right hand know what the left hand does " in the way of brotherly relief. The Masonic Brotherhood of California, from the heroic days of the pioneers of '49 to the present hour, has nobly discharged duty and faithfully met obliga- tion. The record of their benevolent deeds is a sealed book to the outside world, and will only receive publicity when the rewards for giving cups of water to the thirsty, bread to the hungry, clothing to the naked, shelter to the homeless, bal to the wounded, and burial to the dead are distributed by the Supreme Grai. Master, whose benedictions on the children of sorrow illustrate the way in wb ; His Sons and Daughters are to minister to their unfortunate fellows. The beginnings of Masonic history in California are full of romance, and will e\ constitute an inspiration to the Brotherhood to quicken them to the noblest act' vities. For many years the hands of Masonic help extended the unfortunate were unofficial. These hands, however, were warm with heart blood, and were in a sense omnific, for they did much in alleviating sorrow, and were eminently ccessful in binding up the wounds of the afflicted. The records would doubtless disclose when the first official benevolent act was performed by the first Masonic Lodge in this State. It is not ours to quote from such records. They abound with " items" which, if published to the world, would amaze the populace, and silence for all coming time all who presume to question the benign character of this Ancient Craft, which is so in touch with modern life as to be fully abreast of the vital issues of the closing century. Brief Statistics. ^S THE State developed, Masonic Lodges multiplied with responding increase in membership. To-day the Masonic l of Free and Accepted Masons of California under the junsd tion of the Grand Lodge — which was organized at Sacrament April 19th, 1850 — makes a magnificent showing. Statistics fc cold, naked facts, and never voice sentiment. The minutes of the Grand Lodge tell the story of numerical growth and Lodge expansion, but remain silent as to the loving deeds wrought by the hands of its Craftsmen. Such deeds are not chronicled in "song and story." The Order teaches and emphasizes its impressive lessons by Degrees. The foundation principles of the Fraternity are expressed by befitting symbols, and the rendition of a ritual of exceptional rhetorical beauty, in what are designated the First, Second and Third Degrees, or Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason. There are in the State, at this date, 327 Chartered Lodges, 6 Lodges working under dispensation, with an enrollment of members, July 31st, 1897, of 18,808. A creditable progress — especially so in view of the fact that Masonry does not particularly pride itself on its numerical strength, but lays special stress on the quality or character of its initiates. The Degrees of Mark Master, Paster, Most Excellent Master and Royal Arch Mason are conferred upon Master Masons in what are known as Chapters of the Royal Arch, of which there are in California, properly organized and duly chartered, 68 Chapters, with a membership of 5,157. There are also 9 Councils of Royal and Select Masters, with a membership of 1.035- The Order of Knights Templar is a distinctive branch of Masonry, and is in close and vital touch with what are called the preceding degrees. Royal Arch Masons alone are eligible to receive the orders conferred in Templar bodies, and the rituals used in conferring these degrees make frequent references to persons, events and ceremonies, identified with the instruction given in the first degrees of Masonry. The Orders conferred by the 35 Commauderies of Knights Templar in this State, with a membership of 2,887, are known as " The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross," "The Order of the Temple," and "The Order of the Knights of Malta." The Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite bodies number in this State as follows: Eight Lodges of Perfection, 14th degree ; four Chapters of Rose Croix, 1 8th degree ; four Councils of Kadosh, 30th degree; four Consistories, 32nd degree, with a total membership of 4000. Thomas H. Casswell, 32 , a resident of San Francisco, is Grand Commanu of the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction of the United States. W. Frank Pierce, 33 , Oakland, is the Sovereign Grand Inspector Gem for California and Arizona. The Order of The Eastern Star, in some respects, might be designated as an xiliary of the Mason's Order, and yet, in a strict sense of the word, has no icial connection whatever with the Fraternity. The wives, widows, mothers, hters and sisters of Master Masons are alone eligible for membership in .the r of the Eastern Star, of which there are in this State one hundred and •enty-seven chartered Chapters, including five in Nevada. There are also eight hapters working under dispensation. The minutes of the Grand Chapter ported a membership in California, July 31, 1897, of 9,389. Master Masons are admitted to membership in this Order, many of whom regularly attend. The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine has two Temples in California : one at San Francisco, known as " Islam ' ' Temple, with a membership, June 1st, 1898, of 750. The second one is at Eos Angeles, and is named "Al Malaikah " Temple, which numbered June 1st, 1897, 443 members, thus aggregating in the two Temples a membership of 1193. This Order has no connection with Masonry, save in this sense that the pre- requisites for membership in the Order in America is that of a Knight Templar, or of a thirty-second degree A.'. A.". S.\ Rite Mason, in good standing, the latter holding allegiance to the Supreme Council of the Northern or of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States, or to one in amity with, and recognized by them. In England the eighteenth degree is sufficient. The Order flourishes in Arabia, Persia, Egypt and Turkey, and many encouragers of its principles are to be found among eminent men in all parts of Europe. It is natural to infer that the Masonic Order so numerically large, with such an exceptional personnel, splendidly organized, and in many respects elegantly housed, should do creditable things in connection with its benevolent work. The records prove that the Order has been equal to its opportunities, and at the present time is building into beautiful form what we trust will be one of the imperishable super- structures of the State. Masonry would be nothing if not scientific. Illustrating geometrical principles, it must of necessity work in harmony with well defined rules and regulations. This is strikingly true as regards its benefactions which are systematically admin- istered. Owing to the remarkable expansion of the Order, the methods heretofore successfully in vogue in caring for the unfortunate and bereaved are now proving inadequate to meet the calls for sympathy and help which come to our Craftsmen from Masonic households made desolate by the calamities of life. In consequence of these multiplying calls, far seeing brethren have ordained that the Fraternity must have a Home — not an asylum with naked walls and cold-blooded ministra- tions, but a veritable Home — in which its worthy beneficiaries may be suitably and comfortably housed. The initial step in the consummation of this humane purpose was taken by the Grand Lodge, at its regular annual communication in October, 1891. After a thorough discussion of the question as to the expediency of erecting . L'ch a structure, a Board of Trustees was constituted, consisting of Brothers Edward Myers Preston, William Francis Perry, * Albert Hanson, ^Nathaniel Green Curtis, Jacob Voorsanger, *Gustavus Longford Speare, Edward Coleman, *George Fjdmund Whitney. * Deceased. The Site, ■ r- ,HKSE brethren were empowered to proceed with the work anc- authorized to secure a desirable site upon which to erect suitab -'- buildings for the contemplated Home. The Trustees, after care- ful consideration and thorough investigation, secured by purchase 260 acres of choice land at Decoto, Alameda Count}', at a cost of $34,000. The location thus selected is in many respects an ideal one and in every way admirably adapted for the purposes of the Home. Its elevation is sufficiently high to give the building erected thereon not only splendid drainage, but to make it conspicuous above the surrounding country, not only as " a thing of beauty," but, as we hope, " a joy forever.' ' The environments are delightfully picturesque, with an equable climate, free from fogs and malarial influences. The soil is rich, and will prove remuneratively productive. The water supply is of the best quality and practically exhaustless. It is within a few hours' ride of the Metropolis, and of easy access from all parts of the State. The beauty of the site and the wisdom of its purchase grows upon all who familiarize themselves with the same. It is predicted that in less than a score of years it will be said con- cerning the brethren who selected this location for the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, that "they builded wiser than they knew." The Trustees in due time had plans and specifications submitted to them by the leading architects of the State. After thorough examination and conscientious deliberation, the plans prepared by Brother W. H. Lillie, of Golden Gate Lodge No. 30, F. & A. M., were found to harmonize best with the general features of the Home, as outlined in the minds of the Trustees, and were finally adopted. These plans call for the erection of a three-story stone and brick edifice with a finished basement. The First Floor will be occupied by the Main Office, Ladies' Reception Room, Infant Class Rooms, Nursery, Sitting Room, Matron's and Trustees' Room. It is proposed to make the Main Hall, Office and Ladies' Reception Room the architectural features of the building. The utility of every portion of the edifice has been kept in mind, and, whc necessary, mere beauty or ornamentation has given place to the serviceable. The Second Floor is arranged with twenty-three Sleeping Rooms, Sewir g Room and Lavatories, to be used exclusively for widows and their children. The Dormitories are on the Third Floor and are so arranged that the children do not pass through any portion of the First and Second Floors in reaching them. The Dining Room, Kitchen, Laundry, Heating apparatus, Servants and Old M i's quarters are located in a separate building directly in the rear of the main -•structure and covered and connected therewith by a covered veranda. The building is fire-proof throughout, with modern improvements and con- veniences, such as are necessary to the health and comfort of its inmates. The finishing throughout the structure is of a character to brighten, and so far as possible to relieve the edifice of the look or appearance of an institution. The effort of the architect has resulted in giving to the building a home-like look which will materially add to the happiness of those who may be glad to spend their days of sorrow within its genial walls. The Corner-Stone. OCTOBER 14th, 1896, during the Forty-seventh Communication ( the Grand Lodge, the corner-stone of the Home was laid i R.\ W.\ Brother Edward Myers Preston, Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of California. The ceremonies incident to the occasion were exceedingly impressive and attended by man3 r thousands of Craftsmen hailing from different parts of the State, and adjoining Grand Jurisdictions. Felicitous addresses were delivered on the occasion by Brother Charles Lewis Patton, President of the Board of Trustees; R.\ W.\ Grand Master Edward Myers Preston, and W.\ Jacob Voorsanger, who delivered the oration of the day. A silver trowel was used by the R.\ \V.\ Grand Master in spreading the cement upon the lower stone. At a given signal the corner-stone was lowered to its place, at three separate intervals, the Grand Honors being given by all the assembled brethren at each stoppage of the stone. When it had been adjusted in its place, the Grand Master pointed the cement about its edges, and followed this action by giving three blows with his gavel, saying, " I declare this foundation stone to be well formed, true and trusty." The ceremonies were concluded with an oration by the Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge, W.\ Brother Jacob Voorsanger, who concluded his eloquent address by committing " the designs of our Architects, the labors of our Craft, and the success of this noble enterprise to the divine care of the Supreme Architect." The Grand Lodge, in view of vacancies in the Board of Trustees, occasioned by death and otherwise, made important changes in connection therewith, so that the Board at the present time is composed as follows : Brother Charles Lewis Patton, Brother Jacob Voorsanger, Brother William Johnson, Brother William Frank Pierce, Brother Edward Peabody, Brother Thomas Flint, Sr., Brother Edwin Whipple, Brother George Hinds. At the Forty-eighth Annual Communication, through the earnest and eloquent plea of Brother Charles L. Pattou, Grand Senior Warden, the Grand Lodge appropriated $20,000 toward the building fund and commissioned the Trustees, ,ider the leadership of Brother Patton, to proceed with the erection of the Home, in compliance with these orders, the Board of Trustees was frequently convened by the President for consultation. The Trustees went forward with patient care, " making haste slowly," and carefully considering to the minutest detail the bids submitted for the construction of the building. After due deliberation, the bid of Brother R. P. Hurlbut, of Mission Lodge No. 169, F. & A. M., was accepted. He is an enthusiastic Masonic worker, whose tireless energy and splendid executive ability has given him high position and enviable reputation, especially in connection with California Commandery No. 1, K. T., of which he is an honored Past Commander, having served his Commandery for two successive years as its Commander. During his second year as Commander, the Commandery made its famous pilgrimage to the Triennial Conclave at Boston, Mass., where it received a royal welcome, and where it reciprocated favors received by entertaining the Sir Knights of the United States with unbounded hospitality. As a Contractor and Builder Mr. Hurlbut has scored a most gratifying success. He brings to the work of erecting the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home an enlarged experience, and a heart in en rapport with the plan of giving to the Masonic beneficiaries of the State an ideal home. The restive) I Idea. ^ALIZING the importance of pushing the work of building to completion, and feeling the necessity of devising ways and means of increasing the funds for said purpose, Brother Charles L. Patton, Senior Grand Warden, and President of the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, conceived the brilliant thought that a Masonic Festival could be profitably held in the city of San Francisco, which would not only be a great credit to the Fraternity, but ultimate satisfactorily in enlarging the building fund. His suggestion for a Festival, born of his deep interest in the contemplated Home, bore immediate fruit. On his presenting the idea of such a Festival to California Lodge No. i, F. & A. M., of which he is an honored Past Master, it was found that the brethren of this Grand Old Lodge were in perfect accord with the idea. A vote of endorsement was immediately taken and a committee of three, consisting of Brothers C. L. Patton, Henry Ascroft and Edward Peabody — Past Masters — was appointed to confer with the various Lodges, Chapters, Commanderies, Eastern Star, Scottish Rite Bodies, and Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of San Francisco and vicinity. The conference was held in due time by representative members of the above-mentioned bodies who were appointed by their respective organizations. These delegates were convened in King Solomon Hall, Masonic Temple. Several meetings of the committee were held, the final outcome of which was the decision that a Masonic Festival be held in the Mechanics' Pavilion the second week in May for the benefit of the said Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home. An Executive Committee, consisting of the following named ladies and gentlemen, was duly constituted : Charles L. Patton, Charles L. Pierce, Dr. EdnaR. Field, Charles W. Conlisk, Mrs. W. Frank Pierce, Reuben P. Hurlbut, M. H. Wascerwitz. John Tonningseu, Past Master of Oriental Lodge, No. 144, F. & A. M., on account of his well-known executive ability, has been appointed Superintendent of the Festival. He immediately consecrated himself to the work and, from the hour of his appointment to the present moment, has labored to promote the best interests of the Festival, and though his position has been a trying one, he has acquitted himself most creditably and, by his genial smile and affable address, inspired all having to do with the selection and management of the booths to work together in perfect harmony. Brother R. P. Hurlbut has been appointed by the Executive Committee Chair- man of the Memorial Hall Committee, in connection with the Festival held in aid of the Home. All moneys raised by this Committee will be devoted to lasting and sub- stantial improvements in the Main or Reception Hall of the Home, consisting of a marble staircase, marble wainscoting, heavy oaken beam ceiling and marble floor. The walls, from the top of the wainscot and extending height of doors are to be covered with ornamental tiles. Each person contributing $5 will have his or her name embossed on the face of one of these tablets, 2x6 inches, which will be firmly imbedded in cement upon the brick walls, and thus serve as perpetual evidence of the liberality of the contributor, and remain a befitting memorial of the brethren whose hearts have gone into the superstructure. It is expected that the expense of the above-mentioned ornamentation will be largely met by the sale of the embossed tiles, and by the special contributions of brethren upon whom kind fortune has been munificently smiling, who desire to see the main entrance of the Home and its principal hall beautified, in the belief that there should be illustrated in the erection of this Masonic structure the wisdom which contrives, the strength which supports, and the beauty which adorns. Brother Hurlbut, who suggested the plan of introducing the memorial tiles, is giving this department his personal supervision and is admirably executing the same, having already received a large number of orders which, it is hoped, will multiply into thousands. During the continuance of the Festival in the Pavilion, a committee will be present in the Memorial Booth to receive contributions for the tiles. The process of embossing the same will be illustrated, as a kiln will be in operation, so the patronizing visitors can see how their names in golden letters are permanently imprinted on the tile. The services of artists of ability have been secured for the proper penciling of the names of all who contribute the sum of $5 to this fund. Some brethren, who are always on the outlook for opportunities to do good, have recognized the fact that this tile proposition opens the way for them to honor the name, and perpetuate the memory of departed brethren, whose fellowship was greatly enjoyed when they met on the level, and whose companionship was keenly relished in the outside world, amidst the struggles incident to active, manly life. Masonic principle teaches us not only to honor the living who are worthy, but to cherish the memory of the departed, who are too soon forgotten. In a number of cases (not necessary to particularize) generous brothers have subscribed for tiles and ordered embossed thereon the name of some deceased brother — a delicate and expressive way in which to voice loving remembrance, and, in language familiar to us, " an example worthy of imitation." One Past Master, appreciative of the honors conferred upon him by the brethren of his Lodge, has suggested the thought of having the "Past Masters" unite in subscribing for a ten or twenty-dollar tile, upon which there shall be suitably embossed the name and number of the Lodge in which they have honored membership, and the fact very briefly stated that said tile has been placed in posi- tion by the Past Masters. A capital suggestion, and one which, it is hoped, will inspire the Past Masters and other Past Officers of the Lodges, Chapters and Commanderies throughout the State, to express themselves in a similar " perpetual " way, for these tiles will remain in position while the Home stands, a living demonstration of Masonii- beneficence. An elegant lithograph of the Home in thirteen different colors will be offered for sale at the low price of one dollar ; this lithograph is a work of art and will be suitably framed. It would grace the office of every Mason in the State, and it is< hoped that every Masonic Home within the Grand Jurisdiction of California will be adorned with one of these beautiful pictures. Another opportunity of contributing one dollar to the building fund can be improved by all who desire to have their names chiseled on the face of a bright colored brick to be placed in position on the front wall of the Home. These plans have been adopted to encourage the Craftsmen of the State with limited means to make contribution, and to inspire the wealthier brethren to give liberally of their substance in making the building of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home a beautiful as well as a pronounced success. The Trustees are greatly encouraged in their work, incident to this Festival, by the hearty co-operation of the Lodges, Chapters, Commanderies and Eastern Star organizations, many of which will have booths in the Pavilion, elegantly appointed, to further the plans of securing building funds. To the ladies the Trustees are under special obligation. Their co-operation has been hearty, intelligent and inspiring. No great cause has ever been pushed to a success without the potent influence of woman. If the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home ever becomes an imperishable fact, it will be largely due to the timely and efficient co-operation of the women of our Masonic households. The ladies organized under the auspices of the Lodges, Chapters and Commanderies of Knights Templar, or connected with the Order of the Eastern Star, and Com- mandery Auxiliaries have not only tender hearts but appreciative spirits, and apprehend as by intuition the needs of the hour as regards the Home in contem- plation. Backed by their generous gifts, quickened by their splendid activity, and inspired by the timely expression of their practical ideas as to what constitutes a true Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, the Trustees are advancing with the work of construction in the belief, that in due time the fondest dreams of the Brotherhood in relation to this Home will be so incarnated in solid brick and stone as to stand for generations, not only as a monument of the liberality of California Masons, but as a genial Home in which the worthy widows and orphans of Masons may find rest and comfort in the midst of their bereavement. Beneficiaries. HE question has been asked : "Who are to occupy the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home?" It is said that the phrase "Widows' and Orphans' Home" suggests the idea that aged and otherwise infirm brethren of the Order in this State will not be privileged to enter the Home as its inmates. This is a mistake, for provision will be made for the proper maintenance of male as well as female beneficiaries. The query then as to who shall find an abiding place in the Home, so far as the question of sex is concerned, is settled. If one should attempt to solve the problem on broader lines, he would have to be a seer, a prophet, or possessed of such occult powers as to successfully interpret the future even before its shadows are cast athwart the pathway of life. Whose vision is sufficiently penetrating and far reaching as to qualify him to enact such a role ? It is not outside the realm of the possible, even if it does not touch at present on the lines of the probable, that men, women and children, now active and correspondingly prosperous, may see the day when they will be glad to enjoy the shelter of a Masonic Home. The developments of life are not always agreeable, and seldom if ever unfold as we desire. Should it be ours to enjoy to the end of life the comforts and delights of successful industry, and find within the precincts of our own personal homes the cheer which happy family life alone affords, we will have cause for con- tinual thankfulness. May this be our portion, and may all the allotments of Providence tend to the consummation of such an end. For less happily circumstanced brethren and their sorrowing families, we must have a tender heart of sympathy. The Order to which we owe allegiance emphasizes Charity as a cardinal virtue. Unless brotherly love finds expression in our lives, we cannot legitimately claim the proud distinction of being true Masons. In the interests then of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, now in process of erection, prosperous Masons throughout the State without exception should do all they can to make the cause which presumably lies nigh their hearts a blessed success. Effort in this direction, even if it involves sacrifices of time and money, will tell more to the honor of Free Masonry in this State than the " letter perfect," and otherwise faultless rendition of our matchless ritual. w.

To enumerate the many services rendered by Brother Charges Lewis Patton, in behalf of the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, would be an impossibility in a short article of this character, but happily the thousands of people interested in the success of this grand project of the Masonic Fraternity are already aware of the energy, perseverance, and self-sacrificing character of the President of the Board of Trustees of the Home. A Native Son from Sonoma County, Brother Patton received a good education in California and finished it in Philadelphia, from which place he returned in 1885. He was admitted to the bar in 1887 and very shortly gained a reputation for his painstaking analyses of his cases and his aggres- sive presentation of his pleadings. In all the transactions of his life, legal, commercial and fraternal, the same forcible activity ensures success from the commencement of any ot his undertakings, wherever success is possible; while any one coming in frequent contact with him is impressed with the geniality of his disposition and fairness of purpose. Brother Patton took his blue lodge degrees in Cali- fornia Lodge No. 1, in 1887, was appointed Senior Deacon in 1891, elected Junior Warden in 1892, Senior Warden in 1893, a °d Worshipful Master in 1894. He was elected Junior Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge in 1896, and Grand Senior Warden in 1897. He is Past High Priest of California Chapter No. 5, R. A. M., and is now Generalissimo of Golden Gate Com- mandery, Knights Templar. In the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Brother Patton has taken the different degrees, held a number of offices, and is now Honorary Inspector General 33° of San Francisco. W. FRANK PIERCE. Brother PIERCE resides in Oakland, and as President of the Blue Lakes Water Company, has his office on the ninth floor of the Crocker building in the city of San Francisco. He is distinguished for his personal probity, business integrity and enterprise, and ranks high in the affections of his Masonic brethren throughout the State. His Masonic record is an hon- orable one, and by his devotion to the pure principles of the fraternity, which he has splendidly exemplified in his personal character, has won place and found station in the Order. His Masonic record is briefly summarized as follows : Past Master of Oakland Lodge No. 188, F. & A. M. ; Past High Priest Oakland Chapter No. 36, Royal Arch .Masons ; Past Illustrious Master Oakland Council No. 12, Royal and Select Masters ; Past Eminent Commander Oakland Commandery No. ir, Knights Templar ; Inspector General 33° Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the State of California ; Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar of California ; Member of Islam Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. In these several exalted positions Brother Pierce has shown himself to be a workman of superior excellence, and one who has never had "cause to be ashamed." He is a genial, whole-souled gentleman and in every respect an honor to the brotherhood of Free and Accepted Masons. C. W. CONLISK. Brother Conusk is a native of St. Joseph, Mo., and entered upon life July 3, 1861. He spent his boyhood's days in the place of his nativity, where he was thoroughly educated, graduating in due time from the State University of Missouri. He came to California in 1884 and settled in San Jose, where he soon became known as an expert accountant. For several years he served creditably as the Secretary of several important corporations — the largest in Santa Clara County. In 1894, the important position of Business Manager of the Morning Call was tendered to him, which he efficiently filled until within the past few months, when he retired to take a position where the duties would be less exacting and the labors less exhausting.

S. at San Francisco, July 12, 1883. Dr. Flint is father of Thos. Flint, Jr., Grand Master of the M.\ W.\ Grand Lodge, F. and A. M., of the State of California. Rev. J. FUENDELING. Many representative clergymen have membership in the Masonic Fraternity, and among the number of such divines is the Rev. J. Fuendeling, the well-known and beloved Pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, of this city. Mr. Fuendeling has officiated in his present pastorate most acceptably for fifteen consecutive years, and has attained a most creditable standing in ecclesiastical circles, and is recognized throughout the State as an earnest, Christian gentleman. He came to the city of San Francisco in 1878, from St. John's Church, at •Wheeling. West Virginia. Brother Fuendeling is a member of Herman Lodge, No. 127, F. and A. M., and has rendered efficient service as a Warden. He came to this country from Hildesheim, Prussia, and, though he has not forgotten the " Fatherland," is a stalwart American in opinion, and highly prizes his citizenship in the land of civil and religious liberty, where free institutions are at their best. Dr. C. H. ALLEN. The original of the above portrait, Dr. Cymas H. Allen, of Centreville, Alameda County, California, is a native of the old Granite State, Vermont. He first saw the light of day Sep- tember 5th, 1833, in Orange County. As he grew towards manhood's estate he decided to enter the medical profession, and as a preliminary step towards that undertaking, he entered the University of Vermont and took a thorough |course in medicine and surgery. He was graduated in 1857, and after ten years' eastern practice came to the Pacific coast and located in the beautiful town of Centreville, where he has remained ever since, although his practice extends for miles around in the adjoining towns of Decoto, Irvington, Niles, Mission San Jose, Newark, Alvarado, etc. Dr. Allen became a Mason before coming to California, but has since joined Howard Chapter R. A. M., No. 14, and San Jose Commandery, No. 10. He has always evinced a warm enthusiastic feeling towards the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home, which is only four miles from his residence. He was present at the laying of its corner stone and hopes to be present at its dedication, and in all probability, as the years go by, he will only be too glad to minister to the inmates of the Home should they require medical min- istration. Dr. Allen enjoys a large and lucrative practice, and aside from his profession, is a prominent [man in his community. He is whole-souled, genial, kind and philanthropic — in fact a courteous and refined gentleman, a credit to society, the medical profession, and Masonic Craft. F. B. GRANGER, JR. Brother F. B. Granger, Jr., was born in Alvarado, June 26, 1855, at that time called Union City. His father, F. B. Granger, Sr., came to the Coast in 1853 from New York State and was engaged in overland freighting business for many years and crossed the continent sixteen times. Mr. Granger has been conducting the Riverside Hotel, at Alvarado, with his father, for twenty years. He received his education at the Alvarado school and at McClure's Military Academy, Oakland ; after graduating there he became a teacher and had charge of the mili- tary department for several months. He then accepted a position in the Recorder's office at Oakland and was there two years. He then went into the hotel business with his father, in which he has been engaged for the past twenty years, and during this time has been active in various other pursuits. The father and son were the first ones to agitate and promote the Dingee Water Works, which were located on part of their property. Having been a member of Alameda Lodge of Centreville for about 14 years, Mr. Granger was W.\ Master from January, 1888, to January, 1891, and had previously occupied every chair. At the Corner-stone Laying of the Home he had charge of the barbecue and was active in making the ceremony an event long to be remembered by visiting brethren. Dr. H. B. MEHRMANN. Having a residence of twenty years in Oakland, is one of the best known citizens of the Athens of the Pacific, both professionally and socially. Doctor Mehrmann, since receiving his degrees some fourteen years ago, has built up one of the most extensive and lucrative practices, numbering among his patients many of the most influential and wealthy residents of Oakland. That the Doc- tor's abilities were appreciated by his medical brothers of the California State Medical Society is shown by his election as one of the Board of Examiners, which position he held for several years and lecturer for four years, and still fur- ther honored by being chosen President for two terms — 1894 an d *895. Doctor Mehrmann with his family consisting of wife and daughter resides at 852 Isabella street, where his office is also located. 36 Dr. H. E. MULLER. Brother H. E. Mui«lER is a physician of note who found his way to Oakland from Switzerland, where he was born in St. Gall in the year i860. He received his early education in the schools, both private and public, of his native town, and finished at the high-school of Schaffhausen on the Rhine, which overlooks the famous falls of that name, at the age of seventeen, and started immediately for California, whence his parents had preceded him. He had at that time a very limited knowledge of the English language, but that obstacle to a successful career in this country was overcome by a year's course at the San Francisco High School. He at once entered the medical department of the State University and graduated in 1880. He then located in Oakland and commenced to practice his chosen profession. In 1890 he returned to Europe, spending a year of arduous study in Berlin and Zurich. While in Berlin, he was a member of the International Medical Congress which met there in August, 1890. He returned to Oakland and resumed practice at the close of the year. In 1892 he became a member of the Board of Health of Oakland, and in 1895 Presi- dent of the Free Clinic in Dr. Woolsey's hospital. Dr. Miiller is very popular socially, is President of the " Deutsche)' Club ' ' and a member of Live Oak Lodge, F. and A. M. FRANCIS K. SHATTUCK. Brother Francis K. Shattuck, "The Father of Berkeley," is as well known in California as any other resident of Alameda County. Although born in the State of New York in the year 1825, he is to-day as active mentally and physically as many a man twenty years his junior. Brother Shattuck arrived in San Francisco in February, 1850, and at once followed the crowd to the mining regions, where he remained for about two years. Upon his return from the mines, becoming convinced that Oakland and the neighboring territory offered a promising field for an active and successful business life, he settled there permanently and to-day is one of the largest holders of real estate in Alameda County. The town of Berkeley owes much of its substantial growth to the active efforts for progress and improvement of Brother Shattuck. Brother Shattuck is a member of Live Oak Lodge, No. 61, of which he is a Past Master, is a Knight Templar, and has been a member of the Order since the year 1854. He has always taken a deep interest in the establishment of the Widows' and Orphans' Home, and was present at the Laying of the Corner-stone. 38 Col. J. D. FRY. Brother J. D. Fry, one of the most widely known of the California pioneers, has passed through a much more eventful and active life than conies to the lot of most men. He was born at Ghent, Kentucky, on July 15, 1849, and at the early age of sixteen years was appointed to the position of Deputy Sheriff by his uncle General Fry. Four years later he was elected to succeed his uncle to the office of Sheriff, and then served as Recorder, and was twice elected to the legislature. In 1849 he came to California in the company of Wm. Sharon and a strong friendship was formed which ended only with the death of Sharon. For some years after his arrival in Cali- fornia Brother J. D. Fry held the position of Special Agent for the Post-office Department, on the Pacific Coast, which he resigned in order to devote his entire time to mining ventures in which he had become interested. Later on, as President of the Crown Point and Belcher "Bonanza Mines," he became widely known as one of the most successful mining men of the Coast. Brother Fry is today interested not only in mining enterprises all over the Pacific Coast, but many of his extensive commercial undertakings are potent factors in the present prosperity and development of California. 39 H. L. CULVER. Brother M. L. Culver, the Superintendent of Post-office Station B, is of old New England stock, having been born in Montpelier, Vermont, in 1844. Brother Culver came to Oregon in 1867, and was there engaged in business for several years, after which he came to California in 1873. He lost the sight of one eye while serving in the war in the year 1863. He has been in the service of the Post-office Department for over sixteen years past, while at the same time being prominently identified with two large Building and Loan Associations. Brother Culver, who is now 32d degree in the Scottish Rite, has been a member of the Order for about thirty years, is a member of Oak Grove Lodge, Alameda, and has an in- numerable number of friends in all parts of California. REUBEN PRESTON HURLBUT. Reuben Preston Hurlbut, Past Eminent Commander of California Commandery No. i, K. T., is essentially a self-made man. He was born in 1845, m the thrifty Canadian village of Sutton, Province of Quebec, which, however, he left when little more than a boy, to come to the States to begin work for himself, and by his untiring energy and strict attention to business has acquired an enviable reputation as a business man, a citizen and a Mason. FRANK C. JORDAN. Frank C. Jordan, the popular and efficient young County Clerk of Ala- meda County, is a native son of Shasta County. Mr. Jordan, since his advent into the important position which he now fills, has inaugurated many reforms, and his conduct of the office has given entire satisfaction to the public and tax- payers, so much so indeed, that he has been prevailed upon to allow his name to go before the next Republican Convention for nomination and re-election. Per- haps no young man in Alameda County has the standing and confidence of the general public as has Mr. Jordan. His ability and integrity are beyond question and his friends are legion. Dr. C. G. KENYON. Brother C. G. Kenyon was born in Chenango County, N. Y., 1846. He has practiced medicine in San Francisco since 1874, was on the staff of St. Mary's Hospital for nine years, and is now Surgeon to St. L,uke's Hospital. He is ex- President of the City and County Medical Society, ex-President of the Medical Society of the State of California, and President of the Chemical Society. Dr. Kenyon is well known in Masonic circles, being Past Master of Excelsior Lodge, No. 166, F. and A. M.; Past C. G. of California Commandery ; a member of California Chapter of California Council, and Past Grand Potentate of Islam Temple A. A. M. S. He is also Chairman of the Committee conducting the Voting Booth under the auspices of the Mystic Shrine. EDWIN WHIPPLE. Brother Edwin Whipple, of Decoto, California, was born in Eastern Pennsylvania, in December, 1846. On his mother's side he comes of an old Masonic family, his mother's uncle having been a Mason for over sixty years. He came to California in 1878 and located in San Jose valley, where he began farming and fruit raising. His home ranch consists of about 375 acres, and he is also the owner of a 350-acre ranch near the Widows' and Orphans' Home. He has now been on the Board of Trustees of the Home for three years, and has been actively engaged in bringing this grand undertaking to a successful issue. He has been Master of Alameda Eodge, No. 167, at Centreville, for two terms. 44 THOflAS C. HUXLEY. There is an old saying, "nothing succeeds like success," but to achieve success requires perseverance and ability. The successful career of Brother Thomas C. Huxley, of Centreville, Alameda County, amply proves his possession of these two most necessary qualities. Brother Huxley is a native of New York City and came to California in 1875, since which time he has resided and practiced law in Alameda County. The large number of acquaintances and friends gained by Brother Huxley during the twenty-three years of his residence in our neighboring county is ample proof of the appre- ciation of his ability and sterling qualities. Brother Huxley was Master of Alameda Lodge No. 167, F. and A. from 1892 to 1895. Dr. HENRY WYLE EMERSON. Among the younger generation of the pro- fessional men of Alameda County, who, by their own ability and personal qualities, have suc- cessfully established themselves in their chosen profession, is Brother Henry W. Emerson, of the town of Centreville. Brother Emerson was born on September 9th, 1863, at Dubuque, Iowa, and came to California in 1892, locating permanently at Centreville, Alameda County. Brother Emerson now numbers among his friends many of the most prominent and influ- ential citizens of Alameda County. He is Junior Warden of Alameda I,odge No. 167, F. and A. M., at Centreville, California. LEWIS HENRY BROWN. Brother Lewis Henry Brown, Secretary of State, is a good example of the ; right man in the right place. Born at Haywards, on March 24th, 1857, he has led an active business and political life ever since he became of age. Brother Brown has held the po- sitions of City Trustee of Haywards, Treasurer of the same town, Member of the Legislature at the age of twenty- five, [served as School Trustee and Justice of the Peace at Collinsville, and was elected Clerk of the Supreme Court from Solano County in 1890. His election as Secretary of State from San Francisco, in 1894, was remark- able for the fact that he received the highest vote cast and the largest plu- rality ever given to a candidate in California, being nearly 41,000 in number. Brother Brown has been three times Past Master of Eucalyptus Lodge, No. 243, F. and A. M., of Hay- wards, Cal., and is a member of Oak- land Commandery Knights Templar, a Shriner and 1,2° Mason. HENRY ALEXANDER MELY1N. Henry Alexander Melvin, Prosecuting Attorney of Oakland and Deputy District Attorney for Alameda County, was born in Springfield, Illinois. Sept. 28, 1865. He is a son of the late Dr. S. H. Melvin, who was a prominent business man of that city. He came to California with his parents in 1875 and resided in Napa County for three years, but removed to Oakland in 1878, where he has since resided. He graduated from Franklin Grammar in iS8t and from Oakland High School in 1884. He studied Pharmacy in his father's store for some time and entered the University of Cali- fornia, September, 1885, from which Institution he graduated in 1889 with the degree of Ph.B. In 1892 he received the degree of LL.B., from Hastings Law College. He holds a Lieutenant's Commission U. C. Cadets and a license from State Board of Pharmacy. Mr. Melvin has been identified with the newspaper world as a writer for the Oakland Tribune, Times and Enquirer and later as Telegraph Editor of the Tribune. During the Session of 1891 State Legislature, Mr. Melvin was Secretary of the Committee on City, City and County and Town Governments. In March, 1891, he was appointed Justice of the Peace for Brooklyn Township and in November, 1892, was re-elected to the same position and served until March, 1893, when he resigned to accept his present offices, which he has since filled with an ability and faithful- ness that gives him a high standing among his professional associates and the general public. He is a conscientious officer, eager and earnest in the service of the city and county and is prominently mentioned as the next District Attorney for Alameda County. Mr. Melvin was married in 1893 to Miss Louise Morse, of Portland, Or., and has one child, a boy. He is an active member of Brooklyn Lodge No. 225, F. and A. M. 46 FRANK W. SPIARS. Brother Frank W. Spiars, of Oakland, a protr.- inent and popular business man of that city, and one of the proprietors of the Philadelphia Restaurant (Spiars & Walti) died of Bright 's disease at his home in Fruitvale, January 19th, 1898. Brother Spiars was very popular socially, and especi- ally in Lodge circles. He was a member of Albion Lodge, Sons of St. George, the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and the Masonic Order, and was also a Director of the Oakland Exposition. He leaves a widow, but no children. He was a man of generous impulses and highly esteemed by all with whom he came in contact, as well as a public- spirited citizen, always ready to assist any enterprise for the advantage of the city in which he lived. The funeral services were held at the residence, on Sunday, January 23d, the Rev. V. Marshall Law officiat- ing ; thence to Masonic Temple, which was crowded with friends of the deceased. Many prominent citizens were present to pay their respects to a man whose activity in affa'rs and genial nature made him hosts of friends. The services were under the auspices of the Masonic Fraternity, and were conducted by W.\ Master Judge F. B. Ogden, of Live Oak Lodge. Appropriate music was furnished by the Masonic quartette, consisting of George Carleton, Harry Melvin, Alfred Wilkie, and Ben Clark. There were many elaborate floral pieces sent by friends, the casket being nearly covered with exquisite flowers. Among the pieces was a pillow from the Knights of Pythias, having the words ' ' In Memoriam ' ' worked on it. Albion Lodge sent an anchor, the Masons a broken wheel with "Regard" on it, and the employees of the Philadelphia Restaurant another broken wheel. W. F. FLETCHER. Brother W. F. Fletcher, Chief of Police of Oakland, was born in Bloomfield, Maine, in the year 1837, and came to California in 1852. For three years, from 1869 to 1871 inclusive, he was Chief of Police of Stockton. He became connected with the Oakland Police Department in 1877, and by his energy and administrative ability has reached his present position. Brother W. F. Fletcher has been a Mason for over thirty-five years, is a Knight Templar and one of the Charter members of Oakland Commandery. BEN F. LAMBORN, City Clerk of the City of Alameda. (The Model City of the West ) This young man was born and raised in the Mission district of the city of San Francisco, February 10, 1871, but has resided for the last twelve years in the city of Alameda. He is well known throughout the entire State as a speaker and writer on Good Government. He " stumped " the State for the Republican State Central Committee in 1894 and made many friends. Being a close student of Municipal Affairs, he has been and is working to secure for the people in the different sections of the State the control or ownership of such public utilities as gas, water and electric light, and in this line he has attracted the attention of the entire country and is now considered to be the best authority on the Pacific Coast on Municipal Government, his idea being that all cities should and soon will be self-supporting, and that taxes should be done away with entirely. In April, 1895, he was elected to the office he now holds, and in 1897 he was re-elected to the same office without opposition at the polls. He is a member of the Native Sons of the Golden West and also of the Masons, belonging to Oak Grove Lodge, No. 215, F. & A. M., of Alameda. SOLOMON EHRMAN. Brother Solomon Ehrman, of Mission San Jose, a member of Alameda Lodge No. 127, is a merchant whose successful business career has made him thousands of friends in California. Born in Bavaria on the 4th of March, 1846, he arrived in San Francisco in September, 1863, and shortly afterward commenced his business life in Mission San Jose. For thirty-five years past he has been building up his merchandise business, until to-day, through his energy and perseverance, he has established himself in the front rank of the mercantile com- munity across the bay, and has earned the respect and good will of all who know him. For sixteen years Brother Ehrman has been a member of the Masonic Order, and over sixty members of San Francisco Lodges were present when he took his degrees. Brother Ehrman participated in the ceremony attending the Laying of the Corner-stone of the Widows' and Orphans' Home. PETER DEAN. PETER Dean was born in England, on Christmas day, 1828, and was brought to this country two years later by his parents, who located in Lowell, Mass. His father, Benjamin Dean, soon became identified with the commercial and po- litical interests of New England, and was one of the first candidates on the liberty ticket in the State of Massachu- setts. Peter Dean arrived in California June 13th, 1849, and immediately commenced mining, which he followed for a short time, then engaged in various commercial pursuits in California, Oregon and Washington. While engaged in business pursuits in Mariposa, in 1854, Mr. Dean applied for and received the Entered Apprentice and Fellowcraft degrees in Freemasonry, in old Mariposa Lodge. Having an opportunity to sell out to advantage, he did so and removed to Los Angeles in 1854, where he received the de- gree of Master Mason, in Los Angeles Lodge No. 42, F. and A. M. In 1862 he located in San Francisco and demitted to California Lodge, No. 1. He is a'so a member of California Chapter, and is Past Commander of California Commandery, in which body he was knighted July 10th, 1874. Mr. Dean is a life member and ex-President of the Society of California Pioneers, and has always been one of its most enthusiastic members. His standing as a business man, and his reputation as a financier, is shown by the many places he has been called upon to fill, which required uncommon business ability and financial acu- men. Mr. Dean is President of the Sierra Lumber Co , one of the most extensive enterprises of the Pacific Coast. Notwithstanding the fact that he has always had so many commercial and political interests to attend to, he has found time to attend to Masonic duties. Mr. Dean's brother, Benjamin Dean, was elected Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of the U. S. in 1880. WILLIAM E. HALE. Wilwam E. Hale, born in Hollis, New Hamp- shire, in 1842, is descended from the well known Hale family of Revolutionary times. While Mr. Hale was still young the family removed to Princeton, Ills., where he was brought up and edu- cated, working hard all summer to obtain enough to keep him at school during the winter, and, in the ab- sence of his father, owing to his mother the rectitude of principle and courage of spirit that have characterized his later life. He came to this coast in 1861, when he engaged in mining in Placer County. He then went to Virginia City, at that time in the throes of the Nevada ' excitement, entering the employ of Wells, Fargo & Co. at Gold Hill, and afterwards was in charge of the ex- press department at Sacramento. While in Nevada he served as aid on the staff of Gen. Jacob Van Bokkelen, Provost-Marshal for that District. In 1884 he was elected Sheriff of Alameda County, to which office he was twice re-elected, holding it for three successive terms, until 1891, when he was ap- pointed Warden of the State Penitentiary at San Quen- tin, a position of great responsibility and importance, having some 1,300 convicts under his charge, and the selection and appointment of nearly 100 officers and guards. Mr. Hale is and always has been a Republican, but his management of the Prison was so successful and satisfactory, that in 1895, by a Democratic administration, he was re-appointed for a further term of four years as Warden. During his term of office (nearlv eight years), but one escape has been made, and that was through the carelessness of a' guard. The expenses of the Prison have been greatly reduced through his efforts and careful administration, the per capita cost last year (1897) being only 25 cents per day. He is a member of the Oakland Commandery, No. 11, Knights Templar. JOHN D. SIEBE, The Popular Assessor. Of all public offices, that of Assessor is the most try- ing, as it is the hardest in which to please and satisfy the general public, but not- withstanding all its trials, Mr. Siebe contrives to please and pacify all the disturbing elements and retain the popularity that has been ac- corded him for years. Mr. Siebe believes that a public office should be con- ducted the same as a private business; strict economy, at- tention to all the details, rigid enforcement of office rules and proper attention and courtesies to people in which they come in contact. Mr. Siebe has been elected for two terms of eight years, and should he desire re-elec- tion there is no doubt but he would be elected by a larger majority than ever. EDWARD R. SWAIN. Although born in New York, Mr. Swain can be considered more of a Californian than many who are born here, as he has been here continuously since he was two years old and been in active business for over twenty years. During this period he has shown in a marked de- gree his abilities as an architect, having erected some of the most ornamental and imposing structures in the city. Among them may be named the H. S. Crocker Building on Bush Street, the Hobart Building on Market Street, the Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson Block, the Arizona Block, the W. D. Clark Building on Bush and Battery Streets, the Golden Gate Park Lodge, the handsome residence of W. F. Whittier on Jackson and Laguna Streets, and [last but not least, the new Union Depot now being erected at the foot of Market Street, which originally was designed by the late A. Page Brown. In appointing Mr. Swain his successor, the Harbor Commission- ers made an excellent selection, as has been shown by the many improvements and modifica- tions he has made in the original plans. Brother Swain is a member of California Lodge No. i, F. and A. M. / ISAIAH W. LEES. Isaiah W. LEES has been connected with the Police force of San Francisco since 1853. Step by step he has risen to his present position of Chief of Police, and for forty-four years he has held the office of Chief of the Detective Bureau, and has made a reputation for himself that has never been excelled in this country. More than any man in the State has Chief Lees made the law to be feared and respected, and it is altogether impossible to compute the amount of good effected and crime prevented by his vigorous administration. What Chief Lees has done for this City and State, it would be no easy task to sum up. An active life of nearly half a century in the most exciting of all professions must necessarily contain hundreds of experiences the mere recital of which would fill volumes. He is courteous and affable, charitable and kind, and a credit to the Police force of San Francisco. Chief Lees was born in England, but brought to this country when a mere infant, and raised in the State of New Jersey. He is a life member of the society of California Pioneers. ANNIE KLINE RIKERT. & HE Stockton and Tuolumne County Railroad — which is perhaps better known as the " Women's Railroad," it having originated in the fertile brain of a woman, the formation of the Company being her work and its main officers women — is rapidly getting to be more than a paper road, as ere this publication goes to press the first shovelfuls of earth will be thrown up and the actual work of preparing the roadbed for the rails com- menced. The whole country through which the road will pass is thoroughly enthusiastic and to a man are lending all the assistance in their power toward its successful completion; the city of Stockton, the water terminal, has had a number of mass meetings which were officered by its best citizens, and at which material aid was promised. California can lay claim to the proud distinction of produc- ing the first woman railroad president, Mrs. Annie Kline Rikert, who as a business woman and woman of affairs is the peer of most men. Perhaps the Masons of California will under- stand this when they know that Mrs. Rikert received her busi- ness training as a young girl from her father, who was a member of the Masonic Fratern- ity in Mississippi, and who was honored by them with advance- ment to positions of the highest dignity and trust in the Order in the confines of that State. For some years, Mrs. Rikert has devoted a great deal of at- tention to mining properties and latterly has secured and located some valuable gold properties in Tuolumne County, among them being the Pina Blanca, Mascot, Big Gun and Oro Madre. There she learned of the value of the mining properties in that region and also the needs of the business community : a short direct road to a water terminal, which would give quick communication and low fares and freights. Stockton on tide water, Copperopolis, Sonora, Soulsbyville and Summers\ille make a straight line of only sixty miles, with a very easy gradient. This proposition grasped, she determined to build a railroad, and ere many moons have passed her work will be finished. From a business standpoint the road ought to pay from the start, as thousands of tons of material are needed for the mines, thousands of tons of ores and concentrates will come out, vast amounts of hay, grain, lime, copper, slate, granite, marble, fruit and lumber seek trans- portation, and a low freight rate will still further extend the production and consumption of the country. The capital stock is $i,coo,ooo, with shares at a par value of $100. A number of prominent business women are interested and men of capital are taking hold as an invest- ment, which will probably enable the road to be built without bonding, making it a people's road with dividends at once. The officers of the company are Mrs. Annie Kline Rikert, President; Jabish Clement, Vice-President; Mrs. Maggie Downing Brainard, Treasurer ; R. S. Clarke, Secretary ; and these with Hannah Lewella Lane and Mrs. E. T. Gould are directors. Henry A. Brainard, of San Jose, is Chief Engineer. The San Francisco office of the company is room i, Grand Hotel. EDGAR D. PEIXOTTO. The successful career of Brother Edgar D. Peixotto has been one of the best examples of late years for the younger generation of California to pattern by. Having by perseverance and hard study fitted himself to enter upon the practice of the law, Brother Peixotto entered the office of the District Attorney, where by the sheer force of his strong personality and legal ability, in the four years of his term, he earned the reputation of a strong and conscientious worker for the public good. Handling the business of the public commonwealth in the same scrupulously careful manner as he would that of a valued client, he became known as one of the best Assistant District Attorneys this city has ever had. Ow- ing to his rapidly growing private practice, Brother Peixotto retired from public office to devote his entire time to the interests of his clients, with a well-earned reputation in both business and social circles as a young man with a brilliant and promising future. WILLIAM J. BIGGY, The New Registrar of Voters. The appointment of ex-Senator Wiuiam J. BiGGY, to the office of Registrar, by Governor Budd, is a compliment to that gentleman of which any citizen might be proud. It means a clean and honest elec- tion in November next — free from Boss dictation and manipulation. Mr. Biggy is a native son, having been born in this city in 1859. He was elected to the Senate in 1892, from a Republican district, with a Demo- cratic majority of 740, and his course in that body was sincere, manly and patriotic. He is Vice-President of the United States Laundry and stands high in business as well as political circles. 54 R. H. CLEMENT. R. M. Clement, the present efficient City Engineer of the city of Oakland, is a Native Son and was born at Illinois Town, Placer County, California, March 30, 1865. He is the son of L. M. Clement of Oakland, who for many years past has been the Chief Consulting En- gineer for the Pacific Improvement Company. Mr. Clement received his education in the public schools of Oakland and prepared himself for his life work of Civil Engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a great lover of athletic sports, and this, together with his genial, whole-souled manner, has made him a favorite with the young men of his own age. After finishing his work at the Institute of Technology, he entered the employ of the Pacific Improvement Com- pany and spent several years in the construction of cable roads in San Francisco, and was in charge of the work during the construction of the Telegraph Avenue Elec- tric Road. He is a gentleman of exceptional ability, and is sure to rank with the best in his profession of Engineering. In spite of the fact that election day is still far distant, and that delegates to conventions are not yet even named, there are certain nominations which it would seem must naturally go to given aspirants. Of course, the appearance of certainty in this connection should not lull the friends of such fortunates to sleep, but should rather encourage them to make sure of that which seems inevitable. Probably the nomination which is most merited and therefore seems most natural and certain, is that of the Hon. T. B. McFar land to succeed himself as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. His career as a judge has been marked by a rugged bravery, which, coupled with his experience and learning, have given peculiar force and value to his opinions. He has passed the noon-day of life, and this will probably be the last time he will ever ask office or preferment from his party or the people. While he has grown gray in the service, his vigor remains unimpaired. The im- pression prevails among men who keep in touch with public opinion, that the nomination of Judge McFarland would add great strength to the ticket. He is well known throughout the State, and, better still, enjoys to a high degree the confi- dence of his associates and the profession generally. One of the strongest testi- monials that can be given to a judge who has served for a long period upon the bench, is that he is poor. The salary of our judiciary is wholly inadequate to the services performed, and Judge McFarland, although a man of frugal habits,, is probably not worth a dollar more to-day than when he first took seat upon the bench. — 5".

He was Police Surgeon of the City of Oakland and is also Surgeon of the Fifth Regiment, N. G. C. CHARLES T. WILDER. classes of our merchants, and high integrity is firmly established. Charles T. Wilder, the Consul of the Hawaiian Republic, is very likely to become a personage of great importance to the public eye, in the event of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. He was born in Illinois on July 12th, 1866, and was brought by his parents to the Hawaiian Islands in 1869. He was appointed Hawaiian Consul General by President Dole in 1893, and before that time he had held several positions of importance with the Wilder Steamship Co., Wilder & Co.,*" and the Kahului Railroad Co. As Hawaiian Consul Mr. Wilder has been thrown in contact with all among whom his reputation for ability, courtesy, Dr. OSCAR O. BURGESS. Dr. Oscar O. Burgess enjoys a practice that is one of the most extensive of any physician in San Francisco. He is President of the State Medical Society and a lead- ing member of many other medical institutions. Dr. Burgess was born in Erie County, New York, in 1831, and after receiving a good education, commenced the practice of medi- cine in that State. He came to California about thirty years ago, and, owing to his thorough knowl- edge of his profession, he succeeded in building up a good practice and in making a great number of strong friends, both professionally and socially.

Emery. OLOMON, in all his glory of pomp and circumstance, was not better arrayed than his §\ followers in temple building in the potentialities of Faith, Hope and Charity. Our tra- dition leads us back to the construction of the Temple. The succession is both opera- tive and speculative, and the searcher for truth will early arrive at the conclusion that the beginning of all craftship is found in the beautiful ceremonies of the Ancient Mysteries. Death and resurrection, destruction and rehabilitation, corruption and were as surely taught by the Egyptians and Elusinians, and "the tribes beyond the the unexplored wilds of India, as under the civilization of the New Dispensation. And the re-incarnating belief of modern theosophy is but a rhapsody of thought that comes by mysterious agency from the belief of ages agone. When Solomon was the wisest man and prince on earth the Ancient Mysteries flourished. They were patronized by the great and learned long before David was informed by the Lord that his unborn son should build Him an house in Jerusalem wherein the Shekinah should forever dwell. It is fair to assume that Solomon was a patron of those mysteries which find a counterpart in the ceremonies of our lodge, chapter, council, and bodies of the Scottish Rite. So, our specu- lative minds may readily make a sure foundation of the stones that were " hewn, squared and numbered in the quarry," and of " the cedars that were felled in the forests of Lebanon." The lapse of time from the dedication of the Temple to the adoption of our beautiful, thoughtful and helpful speculative Masonry, was a long operative period, around which was thrown mystery and exclusiveness. Succeeding the dawn of Christianity, and through the dark and middle ages, architecture was entirely confided to churchly keeping. The Monks not only designed and planned, but constructed as well, and the earlier edifices that still are the admiration of the world were their handiwork. In the fourteenth century the demand for operative Masonry was so great that laymen were instructed as apprentices, and, in time, becoming fellows and masters, they organized into bands or societies and journeyed from country to country, erecting cathedrals, abbeys, castles and citadels, which still survive the ravages of time and war. These wandering architects and builders had a form or ceremony of initiation familiarly like some things we know. It is of record that in a German " hutten," or lodge, of operative stone masons, in the fifteenth century, a cutter's table was in the center of the room, upon which was a copy of the holy writings, together with the workman's tools, the square and compass. So they builded and guilded until the desire to participate in the pleasures and advantages of the lodge grew apace, and the doors were swung open for the admission of those unskilled in the workmanship of the craft. Thus operative Masonry was succeeded by speculative, and for two centuries we have been " speculative Masons only." As the fraternity multiplied in numbers and developed in influence, the grand characteristics of our Order became landmarks that point a good beginning, a present essence and a future being. "And the greatest of these characteristics is Charity." Masonry is not an enforced benefit. Its benefactions, and remembrances, and charities are purely voluntary Thus is it practical in its helpfulness; and, from such impelling motives of brotherly love is woven the mighty fabric in every State and Territory of the Republic, co-existent in good fellowship with our craftship in every land beneath the sun. " Charity begins at home," and most truly and eloquently does Masonic good will and universal benevolence find expression in the erection and maintenance of "Homes" for our unfortunate brethren and their families. New York, Kentucky, Ohio, and other States, have established their Homes in permanency, and are shower- ing blessings by the wayside. California Masonry began its good work in "the days of old, the days of gold," and in that rugged and romantic beginning the characteristic of charity was so firmly established, that during the half century of its praiseworthy life the millions it has dispensed for charity have, in the aggregate, exceeded the total charitable expenditures of many of the older States. The desire to do still more, and become broader in the sphere of usefulness, suggested the erection of the Widows' and Orphans' Home at Decoto, the completion of which is assured by the success of the magnificent Masonic Festival. A contemplation of the unparalleled record of California Masonry led to the thought and desire of celebrat- ing the semi-centennial of the Order in this State by a compilation of its glories and efforts into a volume to be preserved in the archives of lodge and home, as a memento of vigorous growth and development. So it was that from the suggestion has risen the monumental undertaking entitled " Fifty Years of Masonry in California" (a Masonic History), a work which, for scope of fraternity research, painstaking effort, artistic endeavor, beauty of conception, and elegance of production, has not been equalled in this or any other country. Major Edwin A. Sherman, the venerable Secretary of the Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific Coast, is the Editor, and it is issued in monthly parts. It is sold only by subscription and the edition is limited. This work is published by the -well-known printing and publishing firm of Geo.

When the idea of the Masonic Festival was first projected, the daughters of the members of California Commandery, No. i, K.

The Corps is elegantly uniformed, and instead of being equipped with sword and buckler, each young lady will carry an American flag.

He is not only well known in this city in con- nection with his present business, but as former co- partner with Mr. J. P. Gal- lagher in the New Western Hotel. His many friends in Eldorado and Amador Counties, this State, and Portland, Oregon, all testify to his integrity and popularity. Mr. J. J. Sheridan, although not a Native of this State, has been located herejfor a number of years. He is well and favorably known, not only in this City but also in Tuolumne County, and Portland, Ore- gon, and is a member of Portland Lodge No. 142, B. P. O. E. The success these gentlemen have achieved since forming a co-partnership in December, 1897, is a sufficient guarantee of the esteem in which both are held by their friends and patrons. H. W. HUNSAKER, M.D. Dr. Hunsaker was born in Contra Costa County, January 22, 1863. In 1887 he entered the office of the distinguished specialist, Frank Cornwall, M. D., and at the same time matriculated at the California Medical College, from which he was graduated in 1890. While usually known as a general practitioner, Doctor Hunsaker 's long association with Dr. Cornwall gave him a wide acquaintance with the special field devoted to the eye, ear, nose and throat. He is at present Professor of Osteology and Lecturer on Splanchnology in the California Medical College, and is, of course, a member of the State and local Eclectic Medical Societies. He is a member of Pacific Parlor, N. S. G. W., and has been its Examining Physician for a year and a half. <$)< © f.9.® unn.

DONATIONS — It was the original intention to publish in this work the names of all who have made donations of whatsoever nature to the Festival, but as donations were still coming in as this book went to press, it was considered unwise and unjust to publish only a partial list. A complete list of the donations will be issued by the Executive Committee in their official report at the close of the Festival, and will be widely distributed, not only in California, but all over the United States as well. All, without exception, who have contributed towards the support of the Widows' and Orphans' Home, will be given the credit due them. THANKS — Are due to the Overland Monthly and the Berkeley Evening World for engrav- ings of the State University, kindly loaned for this work, and to the Stationery Department of the Southern Pacific Company for some engravings of California Scenery; to Geo. Spaulding & Co. for engravings from " Fifty Years of Masonry," and to the business community who have so generously supported this work. Krror.— In the Bazaar Booth of Cal. Commandery, on page 199, the names of Mrs. X,ogan, Mrs. Dorn and Mrs. Batkin were inadvertantly omitted. 216 INDEX. Page Allen, C.
