His efforts have been most successful, and yesterday morning Dr. A, Gilbert, D.D., LL.D., of Dubnque, grand hierophant of tiie order, arrived in the city to institute the lodge, which has been organized and named St James Priory, No. 5, The order, which has for its motto Unity Toleration, Charity, is a revival of the Ancient Iustitution’ of the Chasidim—the “'Pletists,” called also ““Knights of the Tem- ple at Jerusalem,” because they were especially commissioned to keep the porches and approaches of that holy erection in a state of repair. They were also styled the Assideans and were “mighty men in Israel” as late us the time of the patriotic Maccabeus. True to their country, their religion and their vows, they were the first to come to the help of the valiant Mattathias when he inangurated that wonderful and successful revolt against for- eign tyranny, which has few parallels in history. After the death of Judas Maccabeus,about 150 B. C., the order withdrew into the isso- lated parts of the then known world and were but little heard of for years. About one hundred and fifty y the Old Dispensation had given pla the New, the Order nearly disappears from his 1 It had, as the tradition informs us, become very much modified under the it ence of Christianity, and accepted Jesus as being “Hiw that was to come. ‘The A.

Thi designation was not assented to by the order, on the ground that the persons named we not dependents, as pro- vided for —in the rules of the order. Comp.

Dora med it all us the only surviving half-sister and dependent. The judge held that the inter-plea of Frank Bieber, execu- tor, must be dismissed because of the controlling decisions of tho supreme court of Massachusetts that such benefits cannot be disposed of that to allow such disposition would ieh assots of - the deceased momber's estate liable for his debts, which would d feat the main purpose of' tho law, i. ., provide support of the widow, children' or other dgpeudents of the members of the or- ganizution The interplea of Rosa Frisch is also dismisscd, becanse thh attempt to sub a beneficiary in the place of mother before the will was made was stunl, not huving the assent of the DI ‘The interpleas of I'rank Bieber (in- dividually), Carl Zietle and Dora Schmidt ure sustained, and the fund ordered to be divided among them, Frank Bieber could not assert any claim under the will, said the conrt, but wdependently he had skown a meritorions claim, having stood iu tho rela- ton of in loco parentis to Lorens ZieHe, de- cewsed.
