KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. NEW LODGE INSTITUTED. The activity in Pythisn Enighthood atill con- tinues. Monday, Nov. 22, Deputy Grand Chan- cellor H. W. Rice visited Galena and performed the pleasant duty of instituting Bazon Lodge Ko. 62, of Galens, Il., after which twenty-tive gentlemen, among whom are some of ihe best citizens of that city, were initiated, proved, and charged, in full chivalric form. The prospects for the newly-instituted Lodge are very flat- tering. i The following evening, Nov. 23, the ssme officer performed like coremony at Sterling, by instituting Corinthian Lodge No. 63, of Ster- ling, IIL, and conferred the rank of the Order upon some twenty candidates. The Grand offi-' cers bave in consideration a petition for a Lodge at Taylorville, TIL THE MORTUARY YUND, The impetus in this order may bein part at- tributed to the excoileat Iaw made at the. test session of the Grand Lodge, providing for a *‘mortusry fund,” which was adopted almost uoenimously. This fund is a matter which has been under consideration by the members of the {rataruity for a loog time, but owwng to a differ- ence of opinion 8s regarda both the raising and disbursing of the money, no final and eatisfactor; settlement of the question was reached until the last Grand Lodge seseion. Of its merit thera is oot & doubt; it not only furnishes a virtual insurance at actual cost to the members of the fraternity, but also assists in providing for the widow and orpban by the whole fraternity, there- by relieving in part 'the financial burden from a0y particniar fodge; it also assista many widows who, througn pride, will not allow their condition finsucially to ba kuown to either the fraternity or otners, FESTIVITY. Last week Tuesday Gauntlet Lodgs No. 4 ra- ceived a retars visic from Lxcelsior Lodge No. 3, the latter being accompanied by the Vice Grand Chaocelior of Illinois, who made a few pleasant remarks, which were followed by Chsn. Com. Cudebeck, of No. 4, Chao. Com. Thibido, of No. 8, and others, in a like fnendly strain. g ODD-FELLOWSHIP. WISCONSIN GRAND BODIES.

ADDLESS BY THE GRAND MASTER, There has been a grenera! desire on the part of the fraternity in Chicago to have Graod Maater Ouerly deliver in this city the oration prepared by him and delivered as the Grand-Lodge ses- 8i00 in Peoris, and this desire Lag culminated in the appointment of committees by the lodses of the city for the purpose of sacuring the serviees of the Grand Master, A meetiog of this Com- mittee was beld at Excelsior parlors on Thore- das evening last, at which lodges wece represant- od a8 follows : 447, George Stevens, J.

A potition is in circulstion in this city for the establishment of a lodge of the Order of United Workmen, and the managers of the movement are confident of being able to secure names enough to warraot the issuing of a charter. The Order, although named the ** Ancient,” is of comparatively recent origin, having bosn be- fun in 1868, and the first lodge having but four- teen members. From this smail beguning it bas grown to a membership of 11,000, with lodges in seven States. In Western Illinois there is & Grand Lodge and six subordinates. The objecta of the Order apper from its circn~ lar-anuoancement to be the maintsining of & sort of co-operative insurance compauy with provigions for the relief of the sick and the be~ reaved by death, the sum to be granted oo _each death being set at $2.000. The owly conditions of membership appear to be the following, set forth in the constitution : No person shall be admitted to membersiip in thia Order unless Lie is 3 white malo Zetween the ages of 31 80d 50 years, of sound bodily health, able and compes tont to ‘earn’ & livelihood for himself and family, of R00d moral eharacter, respects the Biule, and belioges 124 Supteme Being, ihe Creator and Proserver of $he verse, From all that can be learned concerning tha Order from its circulars, there anpears no vulid reason for ity existence in this or any other Stare, the gronnd which 1t ;m!enan to cover be- ing already better occupied, BIRT*S.
