The delegation will be received and enter- tained here by the B. B. of the A. A. 8. R., at the cathedral, 1007 G street northwest. The Jewish Societies. Among the many secret societies of the United States there is none that plays a more important part than the Jewish. It is now nearly fifty years ago when in the city of New York a half dozen Jews. men of rare inteili- gence, character, and culture, formed the idea of creating a Jewish order, which should have for its aim ang object the education, elevation, and recognifion of the Jew as a man and citizen of the United States. At that time quite a number of Jews, reput- able in every way, had, either through igno- rance or prejudice, been rejected by the Ma- sonic fraternity, and in consequence thereof these men above mentioned, came to the wise conclusion that it was time to ery a haltand do something tangible to prove to the world that the Jews had been wronged. Thus the Jewish order B'nai Brith (or Sons of the Covenant) was formed, and to-day num- bers 30.000 members, having lodges in every part of the United States and Canada, in Ger- many, Egypt, Jerusalem, and in Koumania. This order has sent its missionaries. not to proselyte for religion, but for humanity, to distant lands where their fellow coreligionists were oppressed. It has founded and is su; porting schools in the drient; it has ma the condition of the Jew in countries where they are oppressed more tolerable, and the rulers of those countries recognize them as men worthy of trast. In this country it has founded han asylums in Cleveland, Phila- delphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, San Francisco, and New Orleans; homes for the aged and infirm in New York and Philadelphia; itals for all, irrespective of religion, in ‘New York, New Orleans, and Iphia. The order contributed largely to the relief of the fire sufferers in Chicago, of those stricken b: yellow fever in the south, and those who suffered by floods in Ohio. In addition they have paid millions of dollars to the widows and orphans of deceased members, and cared for the sick and needy. They have made it a condition that to be & member of this order one must be a Jew and a man in the best What io tras in sense of that term. has at its Simon Wolf, of this city.

The feature of the Jonadabs which provides that a member be expelled for a violation of his pledge, was recently defended in an address by Col. Carter who sketched the history of the ancient Jonadabs. Col. Carter attributed the steadfastness of many of the members who had been hard drinkers to the fact that this feature was prominent, but he urged that the clause of | this house next week. the covenant. “Do all the good youcan,” should be faithfully kept. At the last meeting of Pioneer council, the original council of the order, Col. George W. Carter, through Sovereign Chief Dent, pre- sented to the ly a handsomely-framed por- trait of Judge John J. Weed. e gift was re- ceived by Brother Mullen, of Pioneer. and the soe graces the walls of the council room. ntly a delegation of the order visited Har- per's Ferry and a mass-meeting was held. at which Messrs, 8. C. Mills, A. 8. Dent and Col- onel Carter made known the principles of the order. Through the advice of Mr. Zook some of the residents of Harper's Ferry are making arrangements to open a council. Results of the recent mass meeting at the Congregational church are already seen in the increased attendance and activity in the vari- ous councils. Pioneer Council expects to ini- tiate half a dozen new members to-night. Brother Timothy Murphy, a member of Pioneer Council, is starring with Manager Hoyt, and writes that he thinks of his friends in the council-room often, especially when tempta- tions closely beset him. He has traveled with Hoyt's company for three years. When chil- dren Hoyt and he were playmates for some years in Vermont, but it was not until ten days £. thata letter from Timothy's father led em to discover that fact. Spartan council, No. 5, has recently initiated anumber of the regular cavalry stationed at Fort Myer and expects other recruits from the same place. The blind organist, Bro. Garland, of Spar- tan council, will be the beneficiary of an enter- tainment at Carroll hall, on the 14th inst., ten- dered him by the order genorally, Refuge council, in Alexandria, now a little over a Year old, is’pointed to with pride by the members for the amount of good it has already done. The meetings are well attended. Efforts are being made for establishing the bah in Richmond, Va., and to spread it south- ward. Order of Chosen Friends.

Penn council No. 6, of this city, will celebrate the fifth anniver- sary of its organization by a musical. and liter- ary entertainment, followed by a supper next Friday evening. This illustrates one of the features of the O. C. F., sociability and good fellowship. ‘There are rumors of a consolidation of Capi- tal City council No. 4 and Hope No. 10. These are Rote J councils, with a good share of push, so that the older councils will have to look well to their laurels in the future. A friendly riv- alry has sprung up between Garfield council No. 1 and Mystie council No. 7. For several months these councils have been neck and neck in the race for the leadership in the num- ber of members, Garfield at present has the lead with a membership of 95; Mystic has 92, with one application on hand, and says that it will cover ‘the lead gained by Garfield before the end of the month. At the last meeting of Mystic council the salary of its secretary was increased to $100 per annum. Dr. Jas. A. Freer, chief councilor of Capital City council, has received His commission as medical examiner. The executive committee of the order will meet at Indianapolis on the 20th inst.
