SHIP THAT CARRIED SHRINERS TO MANILA

Three hundred candidates were admitted to the order of the Mystic Shrine at Nile Temple, Manila, P. 1., the other day, and among those who took part in the ceremonial were 230 nobles from all parts of the United States. These men, with members of their families, are making the greatest pilgrimage in the history of the order. They sailed from Seattle December 30 on the Great Northern steamship Minnesota, and on their way home they will stop at several Oriental ports.
