No person can be admitted to membership or be initiated into the mysteries of the order whoe is not a white male, of good moral ch; acter,a believer in the existenceof a Supreme Being, and in the Christian Faith, free from mental or bodily infirmity; competent to sup- port himself and family, 'and baving suf- ficient education to sign his own upplication for membership. The age of members is from twenty years upwards. Each castle is permitted to ‘determine the maximum age of applicants for membership, The order con- tains among its membershiy the nutives of different climes and mwen speaking many tongues, The great majority are young men from the various walks in life,” from the trades as well as the professions, and physi- clans, clergymen, mechunics, and artisans generally, with clerks and merchants, join band in hand in advancing the priuciples of a common brotherhood. The constant aim 15 to promote the mutual pleasure and welfare of the members, The meetings are held for the transaction of busi- ness of a moral, benevolent and charitable character. No other institution 18 beiter cal- culated to promote the well-being of a man and his happiness. 1t secks to elevate man- kind generally. There are social and military features which will assist greatly in popularizing this fraternal organization in Omahu and its tributary territory. . e K. of P. The attention of the Pythian lodges of Council Bluffs is fully occupied at present in making preparations for Pythian day, June 27.—The object of the meeting is fully explained in the following eircular just is- sued to all the lodges and divisions of the district: Sir Knights and Bros: It has been decided by the lodge and uniform rank of this citv to have a Pythian day during the session of the Council Bluffs and Omaha Chatauqua as- sembly, in this city, and the 27th day of June, 1850, is fixed ns'the day. A meeting of the Third regiment, uniform rank, has been called to mect on the 27th and 25th days of June, by Colonel Hicks, for the purpose of inspection and drill, and the s knights of Omuba have signified their intention to mect with the encampment in large numbers, The rounds of the Chautauqua society have been indly tendered us for the exercises, and proparations are being made to make the visit of the knights an enjoyuble one, aud all sir knights, who report to and are properly vouched for by the committee will be ad- mitted to the grounds free. The exercises will consist of an address by Rev. B. F', Snook, and other speakers, grand parades of knights in uniform rank, and from present indications prizes will be offercd for proficiency in point of numbers, sppearauce, ote. 1t ‘will also afford you all a0 ample opportunity to visit our growing city, and visit the noble 1nstitution, the Shantauqua assewbly while i session, and everything will be done to muke your visit comfortable as well as profitable to you and your friends. We therefore most cordially invite you and your families to pay our city & visit on Pythian day, and to come as lodges and divisions if possible, but all come with a ropresentation, so that a showing can be made of the personel and strength of oux beloved ordex on the western slope of Iowa. Half rates have been secured on all rail- railronds. Further particulars will be for- warded you at an early date. Hoping to meet you all in our city on Pythisn day, we are yours fraternall WIN J.

Marsh opened the exercises by an adcress of welcome, and Chuncellor Commander C. K. Ourrier, of Mount Shasto lodge, No. 71, of Omaha, responded, The cornet band iur- nished excellent music, the committoes were most successful in thelr zealous efforts 1o en- tertain and serve their guests, and & pleas- anter time could not be desired by even the genial members of that most social lodge, Awoug the visitors present were Mr. and Mrs. C.

This we understand has been Prohibited by the grand lodge, and yet not one in fifty lodges pays any attention to the ruling. Something should be done at once to compel the abandonment of the ritual during rank work. Nothing so utterly mars the solemnity of the work as to have an officer hesitatingly read the lessons taught the candidate or stumble along over adjec- tives and jumble up verbs in an incoherent manner, 1f a man is_not capable of memorizing his work he should not be placed in a chair. As o rule, the best men in every lodge are the ones least desirous of ushing themselves forward for position. 3t the members should carefully scan their material, select the best, and place only ca pable men in office. In this way, and this alone, can-the present prevalent evils be eradicated, No lodge can hope to reach a high plane of success until its officers mem orize all the work, familiarize themselves with the full meaning of the lessons to be in 1 and endeavor to give the novitiate spest impression possible as he ad- toward knighthood.
