An important fraternity benevolent insur ane decision was given in the superior court of Cook comnty, Illinois, recently, says o writer in the Western Workman, A mem- ber of Ktna lodge, No. 159, Illinois, died Murch 1, 1835, An assessment was called February 1. He becwe sick on the 21 and died on the 31st, without havingz piid his as- sessment. His family did not know of his membersip in the grder until ufter his death. Later, a member of big fawily paid his ar- rearages, concealing bis death from the financier. At the mnext m of the lodge the dewth of this m was announced. The lodge voted to state the old maun. The lodge caused the regular form of proof of death to be made out and it was signed by the proper officers. A little later the G. M. {N sited the lodge and informed them that the certificate could not be paid as the reimstatement was con- trary to the laws of the order. Owing to the unfortnnate circumstances the G. M. W, sug- gested that a circnlar addressed to the lodges would no doubt produce the amount of the certificate. The father of the deccased said they were no paupers and would not receive mouey in that way. The G, M. W. was sus- tained in his action by the judiciary commit- tee and the graud lodge. The superier court of Cook county instructed the jury as a mat’ ter of law that the noa-paymen’ of the assess- ment of this member by 12 o'clock, midnight, of March 5, 1885, by the laws of the order forfeited all his rights under his certificate from that time, notwithstanding his sickness and that the certificate could only be re- newed as provided by the order. 5 s Supreme Lodge Meeting.

It hasn’t been seen in large quantities, of course, for the appearance of this odd fish in these wat is a rare occurrence. But few of the singing shad have enchanted the fishermen since the season began. They come from the south, and only when the wind has died down and the water is quict. y come in_ schools, emitting mu notes as they swim along. The sounds they make are soft and something like those of an aeolian harp. It is hard to express or rather imitate, on paper, the melody they sing. It runs something like this: Wee ho, he di do de; wee ho, die di dum, This sound cannot be made with any effect, except when the shad travel in schools, The singing of a single shad is too feeble to be heard above the rip ple of the water. This year has been the first, probably for a decade, that the singing shad has favored the fishermen of Deleware bay. Captain Arnold, one of the oldest and most truth=- ful of South Jersey fishermen, said the other day that he had heard the singing shad a number of times in his piscatorial career. *“They arerare, of course, so far north as this. Even when they do come only old fishers are apt to hear and distinguish them. We know about them and are more or less on the lookout for their occasional urs rival. They really belong off the coasts of Bolivia and Chili, quite common. All sorts of fairy tales are narrated about them by South American fishermen. The singing shad also breed in Japanese waters. The Jupan fishermen are delighted when they strike a #chool of singing shad, They follow them up reverently, be- cause they believe the fish arve inspived, They throw them food, and never catch or cat them.” The singing shad is different from the common-back or roe shad. It is not 80 lurge and there is a slight difference in the formation of the mouth. Onlyan expert fisherman can tell when he “hag caught one of the finny songsters, Old fishermen rd the musical shad ag izes und do not send them to market they are paid o very high price them. It s estimated that the; travel in schools of about f hundred, Their singing is pleasing at first, but EOON grows monotonous, owing to the fact that it is a constant repetition of the same few sounds. Whether many of these peculiar fish ever go on up the Delaware or move on to w York and mingle with the plain, every-day Huds r shad is not known.” T entity when they get loubtful if they evep There they are sing ulon - The sick General.
