Analysis Of The Subscription Lists For The Boys' School.
represented it in February for the Benevolent , when £ 150 3 s was sent up . This is another instance of what is being dono by the new Lodges . Following close on the £ 100 lists comes Bro . W . Hopekirk , representative of fche Manchester Lodge , No . 179 , whose contribations amount
to £ 96 12 s . The Lodge sent up £ 52 4 s to the Benevolent in February , and £ 38 6 s 6 d in May to the Girls , giving a total of £ 187 2 s 6 d from its members this year . Bro . John H . Southwood , as representative of the John Hervey Lodge , No . 1260 , has a list of £ 92 18 s , which represents
the total from that Lodge this year . Such a sum annually from each Lodge would make a great difference in the receipts of the Charities , and it is only when we look at the matter in some such way that we can really appreciate the splendid lists which this and the other
Lodges already referred to have sent up . The St . Michael ' s Lodge , No . 211 , has the next place of honour , with a list of £ 82 8 s 6 d ( since increased by a further donation of five o-nineas to £ 87 13 s 6 d ) , brought up by Bro . W . W . Morgan . This is the first appearance of the brethren of St . Michael ' s
in the Festival returns of the current year ; still , the Lodge being a comparatively small one , this list reflects great credit on it . Bro . Dr . F . W . Ramsay , as representative of the Prince of Wales Lodge , No . 259 , comes next in order with a total of £ 85 Is . This Lodge contributed £ 42 15 s
to the Benevolent in February , and £ 72 9 s to the Girls in May , making the year ' s contribution £ 200 5 s . The Islington Lodge , No . 1471 , is represented by Bro . J . Horace Thompson , and he contributes a list of £ 83 9 s 6 d . This is the first appearance of tho Lodge this year , although
its namesake in R . A . Masonry was represented in February last , with a list of £ 125 15 s . Doubtless the two totals are to a very great extent made up from the same source . Following up the £ 80 and upwards lists very closely comes Brother C . H . Webb , of the Sincerity Lodge ,
No 174 , whose contribution on this occasion is £ 79 5 s 6 d . The Lodge sent up £ 148 in February last , when Brother James S . Fraser acted as Steward . The regularity with which the Sincerity supports our Institutions must be most gratifying to its members . It is certainly entitled
to one of the most prominent positions among London Lodges in this respect . Brother Thomas Grummant , of the New Cross Lodge , No . 1559 , exceeds the £ 75 limit by 12 shillings . With this list we bring to a conclusion our remarks on the London contributions . It was our intention to have reviewed the Provincial lists this week
also , but the length to which we have already run , and the amount of space at our disposal , prevents our doing so ; we must therefore hold over further consideration of the totals until next week .

Brigham Young Did Not Like Masonry.
BRIGHAM YOUNG DID NOT LIKE MASONRY .
BROTHER Christopher Diehl , in his report on correspondence to the Grand Lodgo of Utah , tells the following anecdote of tho experience of a Masonic Lodgo iu trying to purchase a lot of Brigham Young , upon which to erect a Masonic Hall . "At tho first animal communication of our Grand Lodgo , in the month of January 1872 . a charter was granted to Story Lodgo , No . t . Tho Lodge was and is yet located at Provo , a red-hot Mormon
town , where tho United States judge of tho first judicial district has to hold conrt . At that time not a dozen gentiles resided in Provo , but the clerk of tho court , Brother Ira M . Swart / ., being a bright ancl enthusiastic Mason , and at the same time a man full of courage and enterprise , searched around and soon found Masons enough in the neighbourhood to organise a Lodge . Brother Swartz was the
first Master , and nnder his guidance , care and skill , the Lodge prospered . Tintic , a rich mining region , thirty miles from Provo , furnished the rough ashlars , and after a year ' s labour tho Lodge had done some good and square work , and had nearly 1 , 000 dols . in its Treasury . "With this amount the energetic Master intended to buy a lot in Provo and raise among the brothers in Salt Lake City
suihcient money to build a Masonic Hall on it . So far so good . A lot in the heart of the town just answered the purpose , and it was selected . But "there is many a slip ' twixt the enp and tbe lip . " The records were examined , and , lo , the lit was owned by Brigham Young , and he , for reasons best known to himself and every Mason in Utah as well , was not very favourably inclined to oar Grand
Lodge in particular and Masonry in general . This put a sort of a damper on Brother Swartz , and he had to gather up all his courage to make the final move . He came to Salt Lake City , and accompanied b y Brother Andreas Mason ( died in the Black Hills in 1877 ) Past Grand Master of Colorado , who as a genuine frontiersman and mining prospector knew no fear , repaired to the office of Brigham
Young , stated the object of their calling , and bought the lot for 1 , 000 dols . cash . Tho brothers considered the bargain closed , and started to retire , but before they could do so , Brigham said : " Hold on , gentlemen ; what do yon want with that lot ? " " Build a Masonio Hall on , " said Bro . Swartz . " What , a Masonic Hall on my lot , " said Brigham Young , jumping on his feet ; " never can yon have
that lot for such a purpose , never ; not if you cover it with twenty dollar gold pieces . You want to be Freemasons , and what do yon know about Masonry ? Nothing , nothing . What does your Grand Master ( Robertson ) know about Masonry ? What does that Dutchman down the street , your Graud Secretary , know about Masonry ? Why these fellows even don ' t know that King Solomon was the first Grand
Master , and he had a thousand wives while I have bufc nineteen , and you wont let me even visit and sit in your Lodges . " Bro . Mason kept as cool as a encumber , and said : " Mr . Young , we came here to transact a legitimate business , not to talk Masonry , and you are well aware that we , as Masons in good standing , cannot hold a Masonic conversation with an expelled Mason ( Brigham Young , with about
1 , 500 other Mormon Masons , was expelled by the Grand Lodge of Illinois , in 1841 ) . Now will you keep the bargain or not ? " This made the old man more hot , and at the top of his voice he shouted , ( No , never ; leave my office . " And they left . Our Story Lodge has no hall of its own yet , nevertheless it is one of the best Lodges in our jurisdiction . "—Masonic Advocate .
