Masonry , ilii'U at Ills lioinoin LuOraiifri.1 , Ky. ,
' .Tuesday ot last week , and was hnricil the
Jollowinp day by tliu fO'aml lodge of thostato
\vlth full Musoniu orders.
Dr. Morris was liorn near Itoston , Muss. ,
August III , IMS. lie soon wuadercd to thu
cotton Holds ot Mississippi nnd Battled down
us a scliool teai'lier at Oxford. Ho was mar
ried August ! i ( ! , 1811 , to Miss Clwrlotto Men-
( lonhiill. of tlait placi1vlio was liis llfo partner -
nor llnougli ull Ills work and the mother of
HX ! rlilldien , all of wlioin with her weio ut
Jus licilsiilo when lie died.
'J'lio b'reut man was an ardent and
faithful member and worker in the
J'rosli.vtcr.an church at the time when ho
llrst begun to lavustliruto the workings of
masonry uiul taku some interest In tlio ordef.
In th < > winter of IWil ho applied for minus-
KIOII to tlio order and the . " > th of Mureli tlio
Mime year took ills Ilr.st degree. Judge
Jlowey , who assisted in the initiation , said
to Mr. Morris as ho took him by tlio hand :
"JJrother Mortis , Masonry expects much
from you. " Those words worked upon the
minds of the Aonng pmn and were the words
which spuired htm on to the great work
winch ho uccomplWicd for his order and
which placed him in tlio front rank of all the
Masons \vlio have lived in America.
Mr. Morris was elected to his
lirst ollli'o in the order the following July
when ho was elected junior deacon of his
lodge. Ho was then at the foot of the ladder
nnd began his ascension until , in 1K5S , he was
( , 'rand master of his state's lodgo.
Failing health during the years from 118
to 1S.M compelled Mr. Morris to abandon his
ivgulrtr literary work , and ho at once began
lecturing and writing on Masonry , and at
the munn time making visits to the supreme
lodges throughout the country. Ho con
tinued to wrlto small poems and essays on
Masonry until 18.15 , when his first book , the
' 'Code ' of Masonio Law , " was published.
From that time until his death ho continued
to write and publish his writings , until to-day
the following volumes from bis pen are in
almost every Masonio library :
"Kreo Masons' Monitor , " twelve degrees :
"Miniature Monitor , " three degrees ; "East
ern Stur Manual , " lt5'J : "Hosary of Eastern
Star , " "Guide to High Priesthood , " ISllTi ;
"Special Help for Worshipful Master" same
for senior deacon , sanio ior the secretary ,
nnd the "Funeral Hook of Freemasons , "
were published In IfctVl ; the "Prudence Hook
of Fieenmsons , " 18.V.I ; "Masonio Lander , "
ISW : "Dictionary of Freemasonry , " ifcliT ;
" ( Undo to the Consecration ot Masonio
Cemeteries , " IM7 ; "Discipline of Masonio
OlVcmlers. " Ho was the tlrst writer , accord
ing to very high authority , in Masonio belles-
lettres. his "Lights and Shadows of Freemasonry -
masonry , " published in 1853 , being the pio-
liei-r worlc in that line.
K Of Masonio bolles-listtros ho also wrote
"Lifo in the Triangle , " 185:1 : ; "Tho
Two St. Johns , " 1SH ; "Tales of Ma-
ponic Life , " IS'JO ' ; "Lodge at Mystic , "
Ib'M ' ; nnd "Masonio Poems , " 1SIJ4
nnd 1STO. In Masonic history and biography
he wrote "Freemason's Almanacs , " IfeliO-'lH-
'lli-a-T4 ( ! ; "Masonio Kcminiseciccs : , " 1S57 :
"History of Freemasonry In Kentucky , "
1NY.I ; "Ltfo of Eli Hruco , " 1S5U ; "Frco-
umsonry in the Holy Land , " 1ST2. Ho also
published in thirty octavo volumes , under
the general title of "Universal Masonio Li
brary , " llfty-slx district works , including
writings of Oliver , Maokoy , Town , Portal.
Preston , Hutchinson , ( Jeorgo Smith , Morris ,
Anderson , Harris , Caleott , Ashe , Lawrie ,

these ho published the "American Frco
Mason. " l-SPiVS ; "Voico of Masonry , " l&V.I-
'lit : "Light in Masonry. " 18W , and "Ken
tucky Free Mason , " U53. In addition to
Iheso bo has given to the Sunday school
literature of the world scores of odes ,
Hketchcs , addresses nnd songs.
Mr. Morris , during the years of bis Ma-
sonlo work , paid a number of visits to Omaha
nnd had a largo circle of friends among the
order in this city. When hero about six
years ago lecturing on the Holy land ho was
entertained by Mr. Charles F. Catlln , Mr.
Howen and Mr. Llnlnger. Mr. Liningor ,
who was associated with him for u number
of years In work In Illinois and who was a
warm personal friend of the great man , 1ms
Itindly given THE HKK the following facts
connected with Mr. Morris. ' worlc for the past
twenty-llvoor tliiity years : "In connection
with his literary work In INX ) or IfcOl ho sot
nhout to establish throughout the whole
country the uniformity of the masonic ritual
throughout the country on the Webb-
I'rejton basis. Ho obtained ills material
for the worlc from Samuel Wilson ,
of Vermont , who was a pupil of Thomas
Smith Webb. Up to that time there had
been no uniform basis throughout the coun
try , In order to accomplish his worlc more
rapidly ho established schools for educating
men In thu work ami sent them out among
the lodges , niul up to to-day nearly every
ledge In the country has adopted his teach
ings. It U on this ground that I have no
hesitancy In saying ho dkl more for Masonry
than any living man has cvor done.
In Illinois the grand ledge rebelled against
hi * teachings , and they were only partially
adopted. They adopted his plan ot uniformity
hut changed it sulllclcnt to give it unothei
name. His still Mori Is In principle. As a
man ho was bright , sparkling ami wlty ; a
gentleman anil u scholar. At the
banquet table or any public gather
ing ho was the hero of tlio hour.
llo could slug or recite a piece or make a
speech that was. alwoj s a surprise oven to
Ills most Intimutu friends on account of its
beauty and llnish , Ha was always callei
for and cheered to the echo. Ho was widely
l > nnwn throughout this state and jurisdiction
and was a personal friend of almost every
olrl Mason in the state.
Tim great aim of the dead hero was the
adornment of the three ancient ureters of
Masonry : ThoEntu Uuprcnts , Fellow Craft
und Muster Masous. These were the unlvor
Kill degrees of the order In his mind and the
highest , and to them with him everything
had to bond. Ho oven went so far us to-sa <
that thcro was nothing UhjU r In Muoary
than the master , nud to attain thai degree
was enough for any living man. In all his
writings , le lures und travels ho kept these
three degrees uppermost , and for them ho
woiketl with untiring energy ,
In his working for the order ho did not for
get the wives and daughters ol bis brethren
anil bo established for thorn the order of the
Eastern Star , which 1ms nlieady , although
in Jts infancy , n largo list of members who
are accomplishing a grand work
The last great honor conlorrcd upon him
was in New York City , December 17 , ISil ,
when the voice of over f > Oi > , < ) UJ members of
the order declared him the poet laureate of
masonry and ho was crowned with that title
and honor. This honor was conferred on
him on account of the many very elegant nnd
beautiful poems ho has written for the order.
A number of them have been arranged tn
music.
For a number of years past ho 1ms
been suffering from paralysis and to the
ten iblo disease ho had at last to succumb.
His death will bo mourned by every member
of the order in America and Canada. Ho
gave his llfo to it , even neglecting his family
for tlio good of the cause. In return ho
leaves a uniformity throughout thn order
that will stand as a monument to his gi eat
worth through ages to come.

The orgimi/iition of the Masonio bodies in
Norway and Sweden differs materially from
that of any other country. The degress of
Masonry are conferred , says the Now York
Dispatch , by various bodies : First The
Lo Igo of St. John , which 1ms control of the
llrst three degree ; , Si'iond The lodges of
St. Andrew , which pass the brethren of St.
.John lodges through the fourth , Ilfth and
i.xtb degrees , of the Scottish Masonry.
'hlril Tlio provincial lo.lges , which confer
ho seventh , eighth and n nth degrees.
fourth The Swedish National Grand Lodge ,
vhlch not only confers the seventh , eighth.
ilnth and tenth degrees , but also the dignity
f Knight ami Komthurea of Hose Croiv , who
TO entitled to wear the cnsigniaof the Order
of Charles XIII. The head of the national
grand ledge is the grand nmter , and nil the
f nights and Komtbures of Hose Crolx nro
ncmbcrs of this liudy , which , in addition is
omposcil of the extraordinary and ordinary
iftlcials of the eighth , ninth and tenth de
grees. Tlio business ot the grand ledge is
: onduo'.ed through three directories : First
J'lio Directory of Finance , which has ehargo
of the llnanees of the order in general and
authority over tlio works of charity. Two
The Directory of the Lodges , which superin
tends the lodges , aim sees that the , statutes
mil ritual arc properly observed. Three
I'ho DirectoryofMasonicprphanagRs , which
controls the many established orphan asy-
.ums. Masonry was introduced into Sweden
from England in l ; ii ! , and was from the llrat
under government protection. After the
cornmitijn of the Duke of Sunderinannland
ns Charles XIII , in 17SO , ho was elected
srnnd master , and retained the nfllco until
1S11 , when ho was suceoctleil by the Crown
Prince Charles John. The "Order of Charles
XIII" was instituted in isil as an Order of
Knighthood , nnd has become the highest degree -
greo of masonry in Sweden , and as the kjng
is tlio master of that order , ho is consequently
quently the grand master of masons in the
Kingdom. The present membership of the
lodges is reported as over ten thousand.

of what is known as the Prussian or

is to fjain a slight advanta'fo at the bo-
inninrr by the cnpturu of a pawn or
borne other of tlio less valuable pieces ,
and having otiep giiinod this advantage
to push his advoraiiry slowly lint relent

play , on the otluir hand , was to think
out a coinbinatipn whieh involved the
Bucrillco of ono or two important pieces.
Steinlt/ and Ills school hold
that grand strategy of this sort is o
longer pojsiblo. because in our bettor
knowledge of the game nowadays it
would be impossible to keep the object
a beerot. To this it is replied that had
Morphy lived and grown up with the
game his genius might have kept pace
with its soiontillc development. The
advocates of genius are much inter
ested in your young Boston player , Mr.
Uurillo. who , though but twenty-two
years of ago , has already won his way
to the llrst rank among tno great olay-

hoped from thin young prodigy at next
