Monell, of this city, the strength and members of the local order and their justifiable pride in the city and state, render the discussion of the authiorship of the uniform rank of special in- terest. The following, 88 shown by the rec— ords of the supreme lodge, and on the testi mony of Mr. Monell, is & correct statement of the hutory leading up to_ the establisiy ment of the uniform rank as it appeared in a recent issue of the Spur: In 1870, at the session of the supremelodge in Philadelphia, Brother Monell, then the su neck and long sleeves, high in high § ms,pinks, neck and short sleeves blue and salmons, at §1 2 SPECIAL BARGAIN IN Domestic Department.

This resolution pro- vided that no member of less rank than a P. C. should be eligible to membership in the proposed branch. Thus, in_order to obtain membership in the higher branch, the knight must have passed through the chairs of the subordinate lodge. This resolution was re- d 1n the coldest possible manner, and on motion of Robinson Williams, of Maine, the Mone!l resolution was promptly tabled; und there it slept a peaceful p until the next session of the supreme lodge, held in Cleveland in_ 15 AU this session Brother Moneil again pre- sented his rejected resolution. On_ this oc- casion the matter was referred to the com- mittee on written work, where it was rocked to sleep by D. A. Cushman, of Illinois. Not hearing from’ the committee, Brother Mon- 1, at the same session, renewed his efforts and the resolution was again referred; this time, however, to John Van Vatkenburgh, chairman of the committee onstate of the order, The resolution was favorably re- ported on, and & special committee was ap pointed to report on the matter at the next session of the supreme lodge. This com- mittee was composed of the following knights: John Van Valkenburgh, lowa; Rathbone, Washington, D. C.} Stansbur Willey, Delaw John J. Monell, Nebraska; F. P. Daun, California. “Three days prior to_the scssion ot _the su- preme lodge in 187 this committee met. A constitution and laws were_prepared by Valkenburgh. This constitution provided that members of the supreme lodge should be alone eligible to the proposed rank, and that the said rank should be placed under the control of the supreme lodge. The ritual was preparcd by Rathbone and Monell. When the supreme lodge wet in Indianapolis in 157, this report was presented, and on motion of Robinson Willams, of Maine, the same was indefinitely postponed. Through the efforts of members of the committee, the matter was reconsidered, and on motion of \V. A. Cotter, of Kentucky, a special committes with Davis, 8.

The most effective thing which has been issuod is a neatly arranged sclection of protection pice tures from the brilliant weekly Judge, with reading matter taken from the editorinls. The caricaturist has an ad- vantage which other supporters of a cannot possess, and that is that he delights the neutral men whe vicetions are of a floating char require to be chr; cause cons acter, and stallized into solidity bef they will embrace either ona side or the other. Over this unknown, but certainly numerous clement, Judgo hus exerted great influence during the whole of this contest, and the republis cation of number of the most telling pictures was & happy thought. One o the very best isaquestion put by an Americar workman to John Bull, which appears to have posed the old gentleman: “Me. Bull, if free trade is such u blessing, why do your skilled workmen come to this country, instead of American workmen going to gland? The American — work: points to Castle Garden's emigr burcan, whenee issuc long files of English workingmen. Consider= ing that the immigration to this country from England lust year was half w mils lion, the American workman asks the question with great pertinency, and it will trouble both John Bull und his American allies to answer him. Ane other delightful one is Grover Cleves land’s I'ree Lunch, in which the paus per laborers of Europe are represented as grabbing the food of tho American workingman. The fun of this caricature is mainly in the representation of Grover Cleveland as a rowdy saloons keeper of the Bowery bhoy type. The style seems to suit his expunded couns tenance better than the fancy portrait painted of him by that lurid artist Don Dickinson.

Published by attles, Philadelphia, The writcr is the well-known editor of the Sunday School Times, who was chosen by the faculty of Yale as: the Lyman Beecher lecturer to the divinity school of the old college. The lectures were so interesting from a literary standpoint ¢ strong desire wag shown by President Timothy Dwight and his colleagues that these addresses should be printed, and the ilt is the presentation to the publie of a hand- some octavo volume which will undoubte edly take its place in many libraries, The prelude is s proof that the Sunday school is in its esscnce borrowed from the practice of the Jews in very oarly time They divided the purcly re- ligious observance of the Sabbath into two services, one of which, held in the afternoon, was the prototype of modern Sunday schools. From this point Dr. Treumbull traces it down the tide of time to present days, when it has been revived from a somewhat perfunctory condition and clevated as one of the most important agents of evangelical christiani This book valuable from point of view, and no one who reads it will regret’ the employe ment of his time. “A Hooster 18 Russia,” by Perry S, Heath, 12 mo, published by the Lorborn company of Baltimore, Chicago and New York. The aim of the publishing housa which presents this handsome voluma tothe American people is to create a series of distineti American works illustrated by American artists.

Unlike most t Ie who sce nothing save what the gaide hooks mention as worthy of being seen, he rambled around with the enterprise of American journalism, noting many things, studying many things. but constantly keeping the tail of his eye open = to avoid comvlications with the guardiansg of the public peace.
