How It Has Grown in England and in This Country. SOME PROMINENT MEMBERS. The High Tent of the Independent Order of Rechabites in North America convened in an- nual session in Rechabite Hall, Navy Yard, this morning at 10 o'clock, with representatives and past Ligh representatives in attendance from different states and the District of Columbia. ‘The following are the officers: Fred. F. Skip- per of North Carolina, past high chief’ ruler; J. J. Murrey of this city, high chief ruler; T. H. Keen of Wilmington, N.. C., high deputy ruler; L. A. Patterson of this ‘city, high secre- tary-treasurer; W.E. Kitzmiller and M. G. Saum of Hagerstown, Md., F. T. Skipper of North Carolina, Edgar Thompson of Virginia 4nd W. B. Williams of Baltimore, Md., trustees. ‘The morning hours were devoted to the con- sideration of the report of the committee on credentiais and the admission of new members. There are nine ladies presenk, sepresenting Maryland, Virginia and the District of Colum- bia. A recess was taken until 2 o'clock, and on reassembling the reports of the high chiof ruler d high secretary-treasurer were presented and d to committees. High Chief Ruler makes some radical recommendations ive to the ritual and laws,which will ongage the attention of the High Tent tomorrow. ‘The District entertainment committee will take the visitors to River View tomorrow even- ing, where they will be banqueted. HISTORY OF THE ORDER. The Independent Order of Rechabites in North America has always been entirely dis- tinct from the English order, having its own organization, ritual, &c. Both orders derive their name from the ancient Rechabites men- tioned in Jeremiah, xxxv, and other parts of the Bible. These Rechabites were the de- scendants of the Kenites or Midianites, kins- men to Moses’ wie, who accompanied the Israelites to Palestine. Not being Israelites they received no part of the land for an inberit- ‘ance, but were allowed to pasture their flocks where they pleased. They accompanied the Jews in the Babylonian captivity, and after the restoration were mostly adopted into the tribe of the Levites; but many maintained an inde- pendent existence and have numerous descend- ants today in Arabia and Asia Minor. They aro remarkable as being the first body of people known to have abstained entirely from the use of intoxicating drinks, carrying their princi- ples so far as to refuse to plant grape vines. It was, therefore, only natural that their name should be chosen as an inspiration for one of the strongholds of the modern temperance movement. The English Rechabite order, known as the Salford Unity, was founded at in August, 1835, being the e ~modern secret societies. strong order in England, a 1d last August a number of dissenting tents of th ng the Ei “leh order. the American order jomed ‘The American order, known as the “Independ- ent Order of Rechabites in North America,” was founded in New York city August 2, 1842. It is, therefore, the oldest secret total abstinence organization in America. ‘The orde: has done much good in reclaiming drinking men wher- ever it has gained a footing, and it seems to have a special power in reaching and reforming men whom the other societies cannot attract and hold. Its objects are ‘mutual benefit in the exercise of temperance, fortitude and jus- tice, securing to its membership sympathy and relief in times of sickness and distress, and in the event of death the decent observance of necessary funeral obsequies, and it is based upon and seeks the extension of the principles of total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors.” ‘The membership is in three classes: (1) Pri- mary tents, composed of ‘white males of good moral character, over sixteen years of age;" (2) woman's tents, composed of women and girls twelve years of age and over and such mule members of a primary tent as they may, aftor a reasonable probation, desire to admit to mem- bership, and (3) junior tents for boys from ten to sixteen years of age, and those who have proven themselves worthy at the ago of sixteen years are transferred to the primary tent. No sectarian or political discussion is allowed in the tent room. All power is invested in an incorporated High Tent, meeting annually, com- poved of one representative from each tent in good standing and past representatives who continue in good standing. The following are some of the prominent men in the order: J. J, MURRAY, H.C, Re High Chief Ruler J.J. Murray of this city has been connected with the temperance reform movement since 1883, and during that time he has been an active, hustling apostle of Rechab. He isa member of Eagle Tent, No. 2, located at the Navy Yard section of the city, and the oldest tent now in existence, ing the re- markable record of never failing to regularly meet during its career of forty-three vears. He has at different times filled every office in the gift of the order, having been high chief ruler during the years 1886 and 1887. At the session in Baltimore last July he was again elected,with the hope of bringing into activity many of his former coworkers, and in this respect he bas been quite successful. He is favored with the counsel and encouragement of an amiable and devoted wife, who is also amember of the High Tent, ais also his eldest son, and bis other son is past chief ruler of the junidr tent. Mr. Murray is a printer by trade. F. T, SKIPPER, P. H.C. R. Past High Chief Ruler Fred. T. Skipper of ‘North Carolina is one of the best known Recb- abites in the High Tent jurisdiction, he having attonded eight sessions of the High Tent as an officer. While he is at all times an ardent ten= erance advocate he is especially zealous in be- Bait of the Rechabites, to'which order he gives the credit of his reformation. He was for a number of years a lieutenant of police at Wil- mington, N.C., but is now one of the prominent business men of that growing city. High Secretary-Treasurer L. H. Patterson of this city has been engaged in temperance work for many years, having been connected with the Good Templars, Sons of Temperance, Tem- ple of Honor, the Dasbaway Reform Club and the Rechabites. in all of which societies he has | held responsible positions, He ies) pias Domes 1.

He is also a member of Knights of the Golden Eagle andthe Red Men, and is a devoted church mem- ber. Mr. Saum isa carpenter by trade and is ‘engaged in that business at Hagerstown.

While on alecturing trip through California about one year ago he met with an experience which made him a hero and came near making of him amartyrin the crusade for local option. On account of his stirring addresses at different points and hia denunciations of liquor dealers d_ their traffic he was assaulted on his way to address a meeting, being knocked down from behind and shot inthe breast and thrown in San Francisco bay to drown. The water re- ed him, however, and, being an expert swimmer, he succeeded in ‘getting upon some boards under the wharf, where be was found the next day more dead than alive and taken to his hotel, where he lay for several months be- tween life and death. He finally recovered and instill as ready as ever todo battle for the cause. A pair of scissors saved his life from the assassin’s bullet. FRANK D. RUSSELL, A. B., P. HC. Be Past High Chief Ruler Frank D, Russell, A.B., of New York, has been engaged in temperance work since ‘early boyhood. He entered the High Tent before he was twenty-one years of age, and he was elected high secretary, serving from 1883 to 1889, during which time ttending Cornell University, which he graduated in June. 1889. gree of A.

He expects to devote his life to instruction, and his college work was planned to this end. CAPT, JOSHUA ELLIS, P. H. R, Capt.

NEGLECTEDCHILDREN How They Will Be Cared For by the Board of Guardians, AN INSTITUTION THAT WILL DO GOOD. Already Many Have Been Placed Under Its Charge. PLAN OF OPERATIONS. An institution which it is confidently be- lieved will go far toward solving the perplexing Problem which has long confronted the au- thorities of the District in relation to the dis- Posai and care of those little waifs thrown out upon the world is the board of children's guardians, established by the act of Congress of July 26, 1892, Until the establishment of this organization there had been no charitable institution in the District to which achild could be committed by any court of the District, and hence such unfortunate lite ones, when brought before | tha: the courts, had either to be committed to the District jail or tothe reform school. Com- mitment to the former meant, despite the vigilance of the authorities, disgrace and an education in crime, and while « commitment to the reform school meanta restraining influence for the good of the child and an education, the institution has invariably been so crowded that ere was seldom room for « boy there, and the unfortunate youngster had to be released or sent to jail, either con- tingency being equally injurious to his future welfare. Now, however, all is cl , and under the new condition of affairs there is every indication that hereafter every child in the District thrown out upon the world, at the mercy of the vicious and criminal classes, can be saved to a life of usefulness. ORGANIZATION AND OBJECTS. * ‘The board of guardians is composed of the following well-known citizens: President, Simon Wolf; vice p Miss Harriet Loring; sec- retary, B. Pickmai m, and Messrs. Rose Berry, Crosby 8. Noves, William J, Miller, Jobn . Cook, Mrs. L. 8. ittle and Mrs. H. B. F. McFarland. The guardians are appointed by the Criminal and Police courts of the District, to serve with- out compensation, One third of the present = will serve for two years, one-third for ur yearsand the remainder for six years. ‘Those hereafter appointed will serve for six years. The power of the board in respect to = Sr eg their care wd ree cally ti *ppointed gual . and the law in Petes to commitment of children to their care is as follows: All children who are destitute of suitable bomes and adequate means of earning an hon- est living, all children abandoned by their rents or all children of babitualiy runken or vicious or unfit parents, all children habitually begging on the streets or from door to door, all children kept in vicious or immoral a fo gowee known by their — guage or life to lous or in¢ wi ever such children may be ccmaalited So the care of the board by the Police Court or the Criminal Court of the District, and is hereby given to these courts to commit such children, when not over sixteen years of to said board: Provided, That the laws regul the commitment of children to the reform schools of the District shall not be deemed to be repealed in any part by this act, It is also Ss by the act establishing the board that the directors of the reform school may. when in their opinion it would be for the best interests of the child, commit a child in their institution to the care of the board of guardians on condition of its good behavior. Children committed to the custody of the board may be apprenticed, bound out, hired as help in private fami placed with responsible parties for adop- tion, placed in private families as part of the families, or placed in charitable instiiutions. Up to the age of sixteen years committed chil- dren may be recommitted from one care to an- other whenever it shall be deemed advisable. DUTIES OF THE AGENT. ‘The board has an office at 512 F street north- west, where Mr. W. H. Lewis, late of the ‘Minneapolis State School, the salaried agent of the board, may be found. His duties consist in keeping the recorde of the board, investigati cases reported, and looking after commit! children. Since the first commitment of childrey to the board became authorized, hardly a day has passed that Judge Miller of the Police Court has not committed one or more children to the care of the board, and the number of children requiring the care the board is au- thorized to give may seriously encroach upon the possmbilities of the board. For adminis- trative purposes the board was voted for the resent sear §9,000, and for other purposes 19,000. The organization of the board, in the opinion of Judge Miller, whose long experience in the Police Court well qualifies bim to speak know- ingiy, is an excellent thing, and an institution long and bedly needed here. There would, he thought, be no trouble in carrying out the work, and its advantages would be almost incalculable. Agent Lewis says the board | Sta! wil be able to handle children of all classes, destituie or incorrigible. With ert children under ten years of age experience has shown, he said, that it was seldom that more discipline was ‘needed than can be secured in a well-regulated home. The board, he said, hoped to beable to care for all children need- ing its care, and he was confident that much good work would be accomplished. THE PLACING OUT SYSTEM, It is claimed that experience shows that the placing out system decreases the death rate of the children 40 per cent, as compared with those placed in the best institutions, while the effect upon their moral and mental develop- ment is infinitely better. It is also claimed that several years of life in institutions is really injurious to children, encouraging idle and dependent habits, from which recovery is teldom had. On the other band, children placed in a private family with the advan of home life and instruction in the public schools are much more apt to men or women than those placed and reared in charitable institutions, Some fifty homes have already been offered board and many more are expected as the work and purposes of the board become known. Whenever it is pos- le and thought best the natural protectors of children in indigent circumstances will be pro- vided with assistance. In a word, the board hope to make glad and better the life of every unfortunate little one committed to their care. > IRISH MEMBERS SPLIT. Parnellites Vote Against Gladstone on the Home Rule Bill, ‘The discussion of the ninth clause of the Irish government act, which relates to the rep- resentation in the imperial parliament of Irish counties and boroughs, began last evening in committee of the whole of the British house of commons. The bill provides for the retention of eighty Irish members in the imperial parlia- ment, a reduction of twenty-three in the pres- ent representation of Ireland, Mr. John Redmond, Parnellite member of Waterford city, moved the adoption of an amendmentto retain the Irish representationst its full present number—103 members.

The Parnellites fulfilled expectations by sup- porting the amendment. only was Timothy Harrington, who was absent. ‘The McCarthyites supported the government.
