The object nnd purpose of this organization Is to collect data nnd nil Information rela the to which Ib tho regular and legal grand and subordinate Masonic bod ies of Free Masons In tho United StntOB and Canada. Tho next ses sion will be hold In Washington, D. C, next July. Rov. A. J. Carey, who waa formorly pastor of Qulnn Chapel, has been ap pointed pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, ovcrybody In Chlcngo seems to bo much pleased with tho appoint ment. Rov. A'. J. Carey Is a hard workor nnd nn energetic minister and stands high In the estimation of the people of Chlcngo. Tho amount of money that Bethel church Is now short amounts to over $0,000. It will bo remembered that this Is tho same man, Richard E, Mooro, that many years ago was charged with a short ago of money belonging to Bethel A. M, E, church when Rov.

Jones, 33d, of Chicago, III., being tho founder of tho Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of tho Mystic Shrine, nmong tho col ored Masons In tho United States of America, ho bolng tho first colored Mason In tho United Stntcs to have the degreo, nnd powor nnd authority to confer tho work on other colorod Masons In tho United States. After having organized tho Imperial Grnnd Council of tho Mystic Shrlno In 1893 ho wont to Washington, D. C, In tho yenr 1894 nnd orgnnlzcd Mecca Tom plo nt Washington, D. C. Unfortun ntoly tho penco nnd harmony of thnt Temple did not very long reign as the membership In tho Tomplo was mndo up of a class of mon that each wanted ed bo a leador, and presiding ofllcoi In tho Templo. S. R. Watts wbe Vlcctod Illustrious grand potentato ot Mecca Tomplo; 'James O. Bampfleld was mado doputy for the District of Columbia, and strango as It may seem not over four weeks hnd elapsed after this tomplo was organized until thoj commenced a wholcsalo violation of Masonic law and rules and regula tions of tho Order and Imperial Grnnd Council, Thoy wont on from hnd to worse until tho chartor of Mecca Tom plo that theso Masons belonged to was arrested and revoked by tho Im perial Grand Council, and tho follow ing mombors of tho Tomplo wero ox polled from tho order of tho Mystic Shrlno for un-Mnsonlc conduct: James O. Bamfleld, Thornton A. Jackson, Richard H. Gleanes, Arthur Simmons, Honry Coleman, 8. R. Watts. J. H. Burroll, H. M. Smith. John W. Froemnn, A. W. Tnncoll. Will nny of theso gcntlomen or their followers or ndvocato explain now how can theso excellent gentlemen publish to tho Masonic world that they nro a logal and genuine body of Shrlners when tho chartor of Mecca Templo was arrested and revoked by tho Imperial Grand Council of tho MyB tic Shrine, and all tho mombors of that Templo expelled from the order for un-MasonIo conduct, and not one of thom hnd ever been reinstated In the order, nor has the charter of Mecca Templo that Arthur Simmons Is now the illustrious potentato of, has ever been reinstated or restored to them. We will wait quietly and patiently for an answer from some of them. A few Negroes in Washington, D. C, who have got in the order of the Mystic Shrine soon discover that the Mystic Shrine will soon be a verv popular branch of Masonry and will soon sweep over the whole country. they laid plans to try to get control of it; they formed all kinds of con spiracies; but in all their efforts they failed; they then tried to buy the se cret work and tho patent of authority from John G. Jones, nnd he refused to sell it, and now they are working In a Templo of their own as they claim, without a shadow of authority or pow er or right to do bo. So much for these splendid gentlemen in Washing ton, D. C, who aro now preaching and talking about their genuine Masonry in tho District of Columbia. EVERETT POLITICAL NIGHT MARE. Of course it goes without Baying that the colored people throughout tho country will not oven think of any ono else for president but Theo dore Roosovelt, and In this stnto It 1.1 Just as certain that A. E. Mead will receive every colored man's vote. If i nny aro undecided as to what t,o do, Just look up tho political history of Goo. Turner, the opposing candidate, But closer to our homo of equally great Importance to us as citizens, who havo rights to bo protected and respected Is tho superior Judgeship. That high office has for the last four teen years been held by a fearless, level-headed, conscientious republi can, and should at all costs continue to be, especially when we aro nssur cd by past experiences that Its couroc Is not shnped by political Jobbers. In tho Hon. John C. Denny, who now, nnd hns for years past, loaned honor nnd dignity to tho bench of Snohomish county, wo mny bo suro thnt our rights as citizens will bo rightfully snfcly, respected, gunrded In tho future ns thoy hnvo in tho pnst. There Is bolng something of a fight rnnilo on Judge Denny by a, handful of dissatisfied "Jlmmlo tho fixer" law yers, who hnvo novor been nblo to fix things in this court oxcept on their merits, nnd thoy are excitedly racing around button-holing voters nnd puf fing nil kinds of trnslt which doca not hurt tho Judgo In tho least. Their arguments nro thoroughly disgusting to tho general public. Thoy charge mal-admlnlstrntlon, In competency, and God knows what, but aro positively unnblo to show oven ono act of misconduct or bad ralth. Their tnctlcB with tho colored voter Is really amusing. They corner him nnd In eloquent bombast mngnlfy tho "Imagined wrongB" two or thrco Negro criminals hnvo suffered when arrested, brought to tho bnr of Jub tlco and compelled to stand trlnl be foro this merciless Judgo. Now ns a mnttor of fact, tho solf respecting Negro wants to boo ovory crlminnl brought to Justlco, whether ho bo white or blnck, nnd ns lawful citizens Btnnd ready to glvo assistance For tunately very few of our pcoplo havo hnd to 'stnnd trial hero; what few thero wero had public trials In open court nnd received overy prlvllego nl- lowed under tho law. Their sentences i wero no mora sovoro, If Indeed thoy woro as Bovoro ns somo of thp whlto mens for tho snuio offcuso, nnd Just why wo should support tho domocrnt It Is very hnrd to sco. Tho ono, nnd only reason thnt John C. Denny Is be ing fought by a ccrtnln few, Is be cause ono of their cllquo wnnted to bo Judgo. Tho pcoplo nt the polls vciy emphatically laid his ambitions on tho sholf and now thoy hnvo kick ed over tho t races In tho name old "Bull In tho china shop" stylo, and Etlll they cnll themselves republicans, but they won't bo missed, besides ovory Negro hero knows and will not be fooled. Ono of tho most Important offices, end ono vory ljkely to bo over-looked by our pcoplo Is thnt of county com missioner. Whon wo consider that tho nets of this office hns n direct and riotlccnblo effect upon tnxotf anil tho valuation of proporty and thnt overy Negro In tho county who Is not living In Everett Is olther living on his own property or proporty that ho Is buy ing, tho necessity for electing tho proper man to this ofllco will become apparent. For many reasons to whom tho col ored pcoplo should glvo their undivid ed support Is Mr. A. II. B. Jordan probably tho first reason Is that ho la a sound, level headed business man, nnd hns nothing but contempt for po litical wlro-pullers nnd would-bo big Jobbers. Mr. Jordnn nccopted tho nomination only nfter much porsun- slon by people and friends who see tho need of a wlso and honest admin istration of tho county's affairs. To us this means a great deal, to tho col- oi ed man struggling to buy a farm It would bo very hard to havo a road or a bridge put somewhere, "any old where," to effect his property with" more taxes and an assessment Just when ho had to meet a note and pay his yearly taxes, we may bo sure this will not happen " under Mr. Jordan, nor will needed improvements or the petition for them bo ignored because It would enhance the value of somo Negroes' property. Wo have had but one chance to view him In public of fice In the west, but tho record is brilliant and stands alono, Shortly after coming to this county Mr, Jor dan was elected school director. When ho assumed tho office the school board owed ?14,000; at. the end of five years ho retired, but tho debt had been liquidated, In hla quiet and gentle way Jordan denies any credit for this, but Besides the colored people have no better per sona friend, who Is always ready to help thom in overy way, and as evi dence of this ho does now nnd always has patronised tho only colored busi ness concern in tho City of Everett. In showing tho character of E. M. Allen, our assessor, it would bo sim ply copying tho description of Mr. Jordan. Mr. Allen, our present nnd u I..

So far ns (ho assessor's ofllco is concerned, wo enn readily see who' tho colored people wnnt for county assessor of this county. It is claimed Hint no man In the world knows more nlioiit affairs In Asia than Col. YouuglitiHbntid. I A MOTHER'S PROFESSORSHIP. Since It hns become the fashion for rich men to endow chairs In unlvtrsl ties, almost every kind of proftMior shin has become the recipient of such attention.

"I suppose they need them for school?" said tho visitor. "For their lessons, nt nny rnte," tho woman corrected. "They don't go to school.
