After a beautiful peroration ho said: “Our Brother Lorin Miller, sixty-seven years a Master Mason, president of the Ne- braska association of Veteran E'rcemasons, master of the royal arch Kmght Templar and master of the royal secret lies silentin that cofiin. He was not .illustrious among the ambitious seekers of popular honors or for woulth to be obtained honestly if practi- cable. ~ He preferred to walk the path of an honest, industrious and peaceful life. A man of clear {ntellect unclouded by iutem- perance or excess, of storling honesty, of purpose and practice, of simple, kindly ways and unsclfish aims. 'No man_ in this comuiu- nity can say that the dead mun lying hero died rich beeause heis poor. Mourn not my Dbrethren for the dead, but rather mourn for the living who see in death no promise of hereafter, who beliove that thislife is all of man,” M. Cleburne closed his eulogy with an appropriute and nicoly rounded poem. Brotuor J. J. Points was next_called upon iu behalf of Omahu Chapter of Koyal Arch Masons, and in brief as follows: PrOSsIoN puss wway, the first year of the nineteenth century; that howas a resident of our continent’ while Florida, Louisiuna and the whole southwest werp under the dominion of foreign fags, and before the great northwest territory, within whose borders our prosperous city now stands, had been trodden by Anglo- Saxon feet: that he was a pratiling boy when the Corsican, with the world at his feet, on the auniversary of his greatest victor, crowned emperor in the most magni capitol in Europe; that he was a stalwart youth capable of bearing arms when the sun of Austerlitz sank in endless night behind the sodden hills of Waterloo; that **by the right of being a man,” he had for years been avoter before Jefferson and Adams had passed from earth, i What opportunities are offered to a lifo covers such w span of years and touches so much history, [t is the testimony of those who knew hini best that in his day he was not content merely to ubsorb the in- fluences by which he was surrounded, but that he was at the same time a radiant con- tre of power. It was not my fortune to know him until, for him, aspiration had passed into achiev ment, character had built reputation and im- paired function had in a measure obscured faculty and our brother was known as a very old man. 1t hus been said that he never attained and lburlm;n never aspired to high ofcial posi- ion. May not this fact be placed to his eredit! In his rugged integrity this man sat in the forum of conscicnce not as an attor- ney with talents to be subsidized by wrong which should bid highest, but as a judge with an ey to discover and a courage to pro- claim the truth, Brother Miller was 1o trifler with words, but throughout life 1t was his custom to call aspade u spade, a coward a coward, and a thicf a thief. It is weet that the ashes of our brother should be returned to that im- porial state in which his best spont, thut state which so fitly ‘symbolizes the growth and the glory of our common eountry, and with so many of whose gifted sons be was intimately acquainted,” Brother Limmnger then remarked that our deceased brother was also a Knight Te: plar, & member of Mount Calvary Com- mandery No. 4, and that the Rev. Mr. Hous: would make a few remarks in this counec- tion. He spoke in brief: Our uncient and honorable order of Knight Templarism was established on christian re- reat corner-stone of lion and virtue, the which is the belief in the son of God and the resurrection of the dead. Wo are assisted from faith in the truths taught in that pre- cious . Consolation in the hour of death. Eternal happiness in the lifeto come, Our brother loved masonry and the many virtues of life. As we build upon our foundation let us re- mewber we are not in the presence of death, but of life eternal. Our brother knows more fil{llfix now,than iu all of the ycars of his past 0. So may we follow in his footsteps as he fol- lowed the Master, and at last receive an wbundance of everlasting and eternal life. Hrother Lininger brought the scrvices to a close by the very striking sentiment: *Let brotherly love prevail, and every social and wioral virtue cement us, The body was then conducted from the room by the guard of honor, which was com- yond of the (allnwtu‘ Knight Templars: .

Barnes of Philadel- phia, of the order of the Kuights of the Golder Engle, is in correspondence with gentlemen in this ity in regard to the insti- tution of a lodge of that order in this The order is but little known in this city, only by the few men who have belonged to it m other cities, It is now in successful op- eration n_twenty-three states, Since Jan- uary 1, 18%4, its growth has been unprece- dented in the history of kindred organiza- tions. During that_period duced into eighteen institued and _the was intro- 03, 280 castlos were mewmbership increased over thirty-six thousand. The present membership of the entire order is over forty-one thousand, divided wstles, as follows: Ponusylvania, land among 415 274 castles; Ma New Jersef, Ohio, 145 I trict of Columbia, 3 ; Nebraska, 23 v Ha ; Massachusetts, 113 New York, 9] winia, 45 Dis’ 4; Michigan, lifornia, 5; Colorado, 33 Towa, Connecticut, Tn uia, Alabama and Lou- isiana, one each, The features of the Knights of the Golden Eagle are beneticial, benevolent, social and semi-military. The order was founded in Baltimore, Md., Fobruury 6, 1878, The Supreme Castle was organized January 22, 1578, It is basgd upon the most liberal principals consistent with future prosperity, and is especially acapted for all, be they ricl or poor. It has for its motto, “Fidelity, Valor and Honor,” a trinity of graces which are taught in its beautiful ritual, which is perhaps unexcelled beauty and impressiveness, for The ritualistic work consists of three de- grees, viz.: Iirst, or Pilgrims'; Second, or Knights'; and Third, or Crusaders’ Degree, The three degrees are symbolic of @ soldier battling for s faith. Ho is first pilgrim, then a knight and finally a crusader. He has for his aim that of & Christain warrior strug- gling 10 gain the imnortal crown. The Big Knight. The Knights of Pythias order claim to have the giant man of the country in their mem- The Pythian King gives the fol- lowing biography of him: Brother John Hanson Craig, of whom an excellent like- ness is given on this page, is undoubtedly the heaviest man upon whom the three ranks of the order have r been conferred. He was born in Towa City, Ia.,, and his place of res- idence is Danville, Ind. He weighs in the neighborhood of seven hundred pounds, and is part of the attraction of a show of which he is proprietor. He came to join the order at Philadelphia through an acquaintance with Brother George Moore, of Adherent lodge, No. 124, and was admitted with forty-thi others on December 20, 187 On April 1876, he was presented with a gold medal by Adbcrent lodge as being the heaviest mem- ber of the order. Brother Craig's grand- father was killed at tha battle of Hunker Hill. His grandfather, on his mother's side, was Dr. Hanson Catlett, assistant surgeon general of the U. 8. A. A Coming West. In response to the petition of several wes- tern jurisdictions for a visit from the major general of the U. R., says the Spur, General Carnahan under orders from the supreme lodge started August'1 to visit all the states and territories west of the Missouri river. Ho will go via tho Northern Pucific route, visitiug first Montana, Washington territory and Oregon. After visiting the divisions of California and attending the encampment of the California brigade he will visit the di- visions at Nevada, returning via the Union Pacitic ing Utah, Wyoming and Colo- will consume all the time at pre: ch he can spare from headquarter: He will afterwards visit Dakota and other states of the west. The trip will be made exclusively in the interests of the order and the Uniform Rank and cankot help but re- sult in new enthusiasm and large additions to the order and the rank in tho west. His business at headquarters will not suffer dur- his absence, as it will be left in excellent competent hands. 3 - The New Order. There are many journalistic endorsements of the order of Foresters, a lodge of which has just been established in this city, An exchange in speaking of it says: “It has been said, and truly, of the For- esters, that 4s 4 be on hand ) an eminent sueee Aternity iven hiessin d her Hardly w week goes by family is made the atehiul care and generon OF 210,60 ne council of offered a preminm ) sueh prand councils as ing within their jurisd the Legion of from S0 to shall shiow re aid £1,000 the farg cipient of the of this Sam hrotherhood, and decp is S . the gratitude of hundveds throughout the | 100 to the companioa of land thut there is such an institution as the | g iall proposa the lavgost Independent Ovder of Foresters. number of andidates within the As to the growth of the order, the inercase | (@I during the last year or two ago has been simply marvelous.
