'A1 Grand Master Winchester then Intro duced Thomas J. Harkins, Esq., who J delivered the-Masonic address of the ''4 occasion Mr. Harkins spoke most eloquently '-Vk for about 30 minutes, commanding the undivided attention of the hun dreds around the building, lie told tC of the dream of such a temple as is ,now being erected that has been cher lished by the Masons of Asheville for the past 60 years, stating that in the minutes of Mr. Mormon lodge of 185? it is shown, that efforts were being made to secure funds for a. new tem ple. At little over a year ago, he said, the fire that had been smoulder ing for years was fanned into flames, and the ardor aroused among the Ma sons of' the city had resulted in the starling of one of the handsomest temples to be found in the south. Thp sneaker said Hint, the new tem- J" Is being erected for the good of jr mankind and the brethren of the or- ' fl.f u.,1 V,at ita Hadlnotln will maun der, and that its dedication will mean a force for the uplifting of humanity. He then reviewed briefly the history of the Masonic, order, telling graph ically of the plans of Solomon for the construction of the great temple of the Lord on Mt. Moriah, where the workmen, numbering' 153,300, were divided, into three great classes, the three degrees of Masonry. Since that time, he said, numbers of great struc tures have been erected by the Masons of the world and dedicated to the good of mnrfkind. These temples have .perished but the works of the mem bers of the-craft are still standing as everlasting monuments. Following this historical review the speaker turned his attention again to the local temple and told of some of the plans for it Me gave due credit to J. W. Cortland, sovereign grand in spector general of the Grand lodge, who has given much of his time and advice in the perfection of these plans. Me also referred to theuntlr lng efforts of Dr. Chase P. Ambler, chairman of the building committee, in pushing the work forward so rapidly. in closing Mr. Harkins spoke of the bereavement in the hearts of all Ma sons present that death had claimed Dr. Frank T. Meriwether, who was vice president of the building" associu Hon and hud done ao much to assure the temple, before he could see more than the beginnings of .one of his cherished hopes. He paid high trib ute to the deceased brother, and upon his request all heads were bowed for a moment of silent tribute to his memory. Then followed the actual ceremonies of luylng the corner stone. An exca vation had been made in It, and in this excavation was placed a square cop per box, hermetically scaled, contain Ing the following articles and docu ments: " .... . 1.

The. workmen then lowered the rtone to its position, leveled and plumbed It, and the ceremonies of testing it with the square, the level and the plumb by the deputy grand master, and the senior and junior wardens followed. The officials then, in turn, poured on the stone, corn, wine and oil, emblematic of plenty, joy and gladness, and peace. The an them, "Rejoice in the Lord,'! was ren dered by the choir during these cere monies. A short ritualistic address was then read by Grand Master F. M, Winches ter, in which was set forth the ideas in erecting the temple, and in which the blessings of Jehovah were asked in aiding the Masons of the city in carrying out these plans for the bet terment of their fellows. To the archij tect in charge, S. I. Bean, were de livered the square, level and plumb, and the building was given into his charge with a hope of Godspeed tor its completion. Dr. Chase P. Ambler was on the program for an address on the his tory of the new temple. He stated that this had been altogether against his will in the lirst place, and in order that his wish might be Dually carried out he said that he would substitute for the address a sincere promise to push the temple to a rapid comple tion. That promise constituted his ad dress. - Upon the closing of the ceremonies at the building the Masons formed into a procession for the return march to the Masonic hnll on Patton ave nue, the line of march being the same as for the march to the building, viz.: Tyler, stewards, Master Masons, dea cons, wardens, master and Grand lodge officers.

WALL STREET GOSSIP New York, July 1. Trading was on a nominal basis at the opening day, and price changes were small. Even the Harriman stocks, were little changed, notwithstanding the court's approvul, after the market closed yes terday, of the dissolution plan. Union Pacific and Southern Pacifie both rose fractionally at the opening, but 011 the next transection declined to yes terday's close. The only stock to move more than a fraction was Cana dian Pacific, which declined a point. The course of the market during the last few days convinced traders that it was easier to put stocks down than to put them up, and stocks receive 1 little support most of the morning. Except for the court's approval of the Harriman dissolution plan, which ap parently was dismissed as a market factor, there was no change in the domestic situation. Cable advices toiil of renewed disturbances In the I'n'r kans, and there was some apprehen slon that the state of affairs abroad might result in a new drain of gold from this country. London prices for American securities reflected somo pressure from the continent and for eign orders here were mostly on the selling side during the early trading. Suspicion that the spasmodic selling of certain stocks was being utilized to conceal covering elsewhere led to the bidding up of stocks late in the fore noon and the list was pushed up slightly above yesterday's close. Bonds were steady. NEW YORK COTTON. Now York, July 1. The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 3 to 5 points under scattered selling, which appeared to be for both ac counts and which was probably in spired by relatively easy cables, unset tled European political conditions and favorable crop accounts. Active months sold about 5 to 7 points net lower during the early trading,, but the offerings were not heavy enough to cause any material weakness, and prices later steadied a point or two from the lowest on covering ami a moderate demand from trade sou-" f.

Beers of the G. A. R. and Commander-in-Chief General B. H. Young of the United Confederate Veterans were listed as the principal speakers. Otto L. Stamm of Almond, N. Y a member of the 27th Massachusetts in fantry, died during the night of apo Plexy. The nrmy surgeons have been sur prised, at the stability shown by the veterans and by the fact that no more of them have succumbed to the heat. "There have been no real prostra tions," said Major Collins of the army medical staff, "Many of the veterans have arrived exhausted or came hen sick and toppled over after they got here. When you think that only few score men in nearly 50,000, nil of them near the 70 year mark, have been taken to the hospitals and that on':' four have died you will see that it is a remarkable record." The army doctors and Dr, Samur Dixon of the Pennsylvania state health department, today conlim their efforts to have the sale of liquor in the town of Gettysburg put to an end. Col. Ileltler, a member of thr state commission, announced today that Governor Tener could not declan martial luw In Gettysburg, and clone the saloons. The governor, he said had no authority for taking such a tlon and a last appeal will be made to the Gettysburg authorities. The Penn sylvania state police may step in and see that everything possible Is done to relieve the sltuutlon.
