IRREGULAR MASONRY-
FROM THE 3 rd TO THE 32 nd DEGREE IN ONE NIGHT .
NEW HAVEN , Ct ., 21 st February 1883 . —Great indignation prevails among higher degree Masons here and elsewhere in the State because of the doings of an irregular Masonio organisation that lias been conferring degrees up to tho 33 rd , despite the fact thafc it is not recognised by tho highest Masonic authority in the land . The irregular organisation is headed by five advanced Masons who were recently expelled from the Supreme Conncil to which
they belonged , because they had assumed power that did not pertain to them . These Quinnipiac bodies , as they are called , started in New York state a year or two ago , and soon gained a foothold in this city , and then spread to Massachusetts . Said a prominent Mason here to day : " They confer tho degrees from the 3 rd to the 32 nd in an evening or two for abont fifteen dollars , while to go
through the regular bodies takes about two months , and costs one hundred dollars . I don ' t know why these seceders are acting as they are , except that some have grievances against the regularly constituted authority . Others want to get the higher degrees as cheaply and quiokl yas thoy can , and others , again , see no hope of gaining the coveted 33 rd degree by remaining with us , and
so they branched out and formed this organisation . We recognise them so far as the three blue Lodge degrees of entered Apprentice , fellow craft and master Mason are concerned , but after thafc the Quinnipiac bodies go on and confer degrees on their own hook , that are recognised by no true Masons . In Massachusetts , however , the G . Lodge of the state has declared that any one who shall have
anything to clo with those Quinnipiac bodies shall forfeit all fche rights and privileges of a Mason , which would throw fche member out of the Blue Lodge . We shall come to thafc yet here , and in New York . These bogus bodies are recognised by no Supreme Council at all , while our bodies are fully recognised by the twentytwo Supreme Councils in the world . " The speaker went on to say
that Masons young in the Order shonld be warned against -joining these bodies . Upon inquiry , however , the reporter learned that quite a number of men prominent as citizens , if not as Freemasons , had become identified with the Quinnipiac bodies , and that they were constantly growing , notwithstanding the anathemas of the so-called regnlar bodies . —Boston Herald .
