The stage was beautifully decorated with the emblems and mottoes of the order. An address of welcome was deliv cred by the mayc hes were made by a number of prominent Elks, among | them being Edward Larkin of Omaha. The parade during the ufternoon of the Sth inst was a large one and attracted consi ble attention. In the lodge gave n grand banquet mud soc to the visiting Elks in" the armory Cleveland grays, More than one thousand Elks and their wives were present, During the time the otk holding their session in Cleveland lodg Resolutions were adopted declaring the Cle land body clandestine and not a t of the order. ‘This action is v ing in view of the fact that the Cleve represen overone hundred and seventy-five lodges from all parts of the country and the Ne York grand lodge is simply " the representa- tives of one lone and solitary lodge. The last day of the session & committee was appointed to secure an injunction against the New York rebels, and the constitution ‘was changed providing that each lodge shall not clect more than one representative, who must bea past exalted rule iy use of liquor at social sessions was prohibited. The grand lodge will hold meetings wherever it sees fit, A I‘ulyulul Banquet. Recently at Lapore, in India, a large meet- ing for installation purposes, after which a banquet, was given attended by twenty-two brothers, at which the toasts were proposed in six European and seven Oricntal lan- funges—French, German, Latin, Italian, Hebrew, Urdu, Pevsian, Bengali, Smslrit, Hindi, Dutch, Guzerati, and the district grand master wound up with un amusing specimen of the “lingua franea” spoken by the Punjuubi pleuders boforo the chief courts, says the New York Mercury. Although we suspect that few of the dead i our own time, save Cardinal Mezzofanti, Elihu Burrit, the learned blackswith; Dr. Nordheimer of our university, and Dr. James G. Percival, the actual author of “Webster's Unabridged,’” would have enjoyed the post-prandial luxury of that dinuer, we ave morally certain that no one of our living grand mssters could under- stand, much less respond to any one toast on the programme whence plain English had been maliciously banished, still it would ap- pear that twenty-two Bast India Masons in a single city were enabled to accomplish the feat, This ignorance of the living language foreibly illustrates the i1l cffects of a corr ponding iguorance in Masonie ritual compul- sory on Americaus through grand lodge dicta- tion. Ragan enumerates the names of no less than scventy-one seperate and distin Masoic rites, of which we have practical Jnowledgo of but a solitary one, which our learned wiseacres proclaim’ by law to be the only Masonry and intelligent Mason shouid be allowed 0 learn and labor at. The Usa 0" Hl‘hl'(‘w hl Masonry. A correspondent mukes inquiry as to whether a knowledge of Hebrew would prove of service to o Mason anxious to go through the higher grades, says the New York Mer- cury, and requests us to account for the use of Hobrew words in all the degrees from the first to the last. Accordingly, a knowledge of Hebrew is essential to any one particularly desirous of mastering the ) Scottish rite, as without it he will never learn the correct pronunciation, figurati significunce or even literal meaning of th numerors pa i 10 the memor the neophyte during his long journey from Alpha to Omega in M- sonry, We can only account for the employ- ment of Hebrew words exclusively in the various grades of the various Masonic fems now in vogue from the presumption that, as very few general scholurs are fa- miliar with” the language and are unable to decipher thelr meaning, they were deemed the better suited to be used in connection with o mystic iustitution, Being a pr ? tongue, whoso alphabet is composed wholl of consonants, (\m Hebrew is essentiall figurative and symbolie, as the words are capable of manifold interpretations, and con- sequently peculiarly adapated to concealment of o latent signification. Tmagine the difi- culty an ordinar jerson would experience to read or understand our vernacular were the vowels to bo dropped, as was and still is the case with the primitive Hebrew, the vowel and other poiuts not being component of the alphabet, add you will perceive why Masons, for their own security, employed words capable of being written' wholly' by conso- nants. of'V, Comrade Will K. Jacobs tendered a recep- tion at his residence, 1441 South Sixteenth street, Tuesday evening to the delegates from Geeral George Crook camp, No. 1, to the diyision encampment at Lincoln. About thirty-five members of Crook camp were present with their ladies and a largo delega- fon from Custer post W. R. O, An excoed- ingly pleasant evening was passed and a de- liclous supper was served. Comrade Jacobs welcomed the guests of the evening, a re- sponse being made_by Colonel . ates, commander of the Nebraska division. Post Colonel Moses O'Brien made a short talk and read an original poem by Ed Crowell on the G. AR, S of V.and W R. C. Thespeeches were followed by singingand the remainder of the evening was passed in dancing, Tast Monday night Post Colonel Coglizer of Weeping Water, was mustered iuto Camp Crook. This gives the camp anothier vote in the division encampment, making seven in all, and also gives the division unother vote iu the division-e-chief. Colonel Coglizer is one of the oldest members of the order in the stute, ing been associated with Colonel Moses O'Brien in organizing the Nebraska division in 1883, At the last inspection General Georyre Crook camp stood at the head when the re- sult was announced, This is the largest camp in the state and its membership is rap: idly increasing.

There is great excitement among the Kickapoos over the discovery of d‘k('t- vified body supposed to be that of War Eagle, u leading chief of the tribe, who died many years ago, shortly aftor the tribes returned from old Mexico, says a Shawnectown, I T, dispatch to” the Globe-Democrat, Insteadof the remains being deposited in the ground 1a a cofiin they were placed in an_upright position ina large hollow tree, there to await the coming of the happy hunting duys, as the Indians believe. Yesterday during the rage of o fierce forest fire the trunk of the tree wus con- sumed by the flames. A party of Indi- ans who were passing through the woods stopped to light their pipes, when the image of an Indian warrior, with a tom- ahawk in hand, was disc overed under- neath the ashes of the burning b The scene which followed is described as being most remarkable. The Indians were seared so badly that they lost all solf-control, and a regular pani¢ ensued, the Indians rushing maudly through the woods and yelling at the top of their voices, As soon as word could be communicated to the remaining members — of the tribe, some 200 in number, a hurried consultation was held. at which it was decided that the reservation should be immediately abandoned. Luckily some of the more civilized members of the tribe had in- fluence enough to allay the feeling of fear, and the } n was not carried out. "The place of fright was visited later in the day, when, sure enough, the petri- fied body of War Eagle was exhumed and placed on exhibition. The petrifi- cation was perfeet. The war costume was us natural as life, there being a pe fect imprint on the stoneof both gun and tomahawk,which were buried along- side the hody. The peculinr formation of stone presents an imposing appear- ance, and but for the occusional creases caused by insects would be clear of any I!H} fections, ‘his evening a large, hollow oak was selected, the topsawed off about four- teen feet from the ground, and the pet- vificd body placed upright thereon, to remain forever.

Indians afraid eut Spirit, Let him sleop on in his beauty forever, Tn view of the proposed visit of the Cherokee commission for the purpose of buying the Kickapoo veservation, the Indians consider us a bad omen the burn- ing of the tree where their chief had been lnid to rest, and say they cannot now give up their lands, e —— A Journey Lasting Nearly Two Years. In Saratoy an interesting traveler on foot arrived recently, He was & peas- ant, Nikolay Audukin by name, and o seventy years of age. Ho had boen n serf, and in 1852 his master had accused him of theft, und had caused him to be exiled to Okhotsk, in castern Siberia. As thecrime of which he had been ac- cused could not be established he was sent off as a “'free exile,” that is, he was not kept a prisoner or hound to penal service in the place of his destination. For thirty-eight years he worked in Okhotsk as a tanner, and saved some money. Having attained his seventieth year he conceived a desire to return to his native land, and as hesaid '‘to put away his little bones among his own peo&)lo when his time is u? in this world,” But he was still hale and hearty, and traveled all the way from Okholsk on foot. He wason the road twenty-two months, and had many a narrow escape from encounters with bears and wolves, At his old home he son and G. M. of .

Bishop Bourke May Not Be the Man— A Fourth Lutheran Church—A People's Church — A Catholic Instivate. It has been announced from Rome that the announcement of the appointment of Bishop Maurice Burke to the consolidated districts of Omaha and Cheyenne was premature, as it was unnounced from Rome on Frid that the appointment had never been finally made and in all probability would not be made. Tt was considered by the newspaper correspon- dents in Rome that the appointmentof Bishop Burke would inly be made asthey had received every intimation to that effect, and just why @ chawge in the programme was made is known to the propoganda only. Bishop Burke had charge of the diocese of Cheyenne, but lie went to Rome in the spring and resigned the charge of that diocese and asked the holy father for a larger district and more work. It is understood that the archbishop of the province of St. Louis will convene a meeting of the bishops of the province In the near fu- tureand three more numes will be sent to Rome. his will probably be the same as the firstand if Bishop Burkeis not appointed to this diveese Vicar General Brady probably will be. A Fourth Lutheran Church, ince the dissension among the members of Kountze Memorial Lutheran chureh, which resulted in the resignation of Rev. J. 8. Det- wiler, fora number of years its pastor, the friends of that gentleman who have been as- soclated with him in the chureh work during his pastorate and who stood on his side when trouble arose, ave anxious to retain Mr. Det- wiler in Onaha. Several meetings have been held to devise ways and means of doing this and finally it has about been d ded to establish a fourth Lutheran parish in Omaha and install Mr. Detwiler as pastor. It is proposed to erect » handsome church building in Kountze place to equal, if not sur- pass, any other church edifice in the city. Those Lutherans who are opposed to Dr. Detwiler insist that this_move will be detri- mental to the interests of the Lutheran so- clety in Omaha, while the doctor's friends asscrt, that the opposite would b the result, as an energetic clergyman would be retained in the ¢ Since his resignation the doctor has re- celved a number of calls to other _parisie the most flattering coming from Rrooklyn. He prefers, however to remain in Omaha, Some Good Suggestions. Any number of people have cxpressed re- gret at the abandonment of the People's church conducted during the winter months by Rev. C. W. Savidge, ussisted by muny energetic workers, Some people who have just skimmed over the surface of the matter and have not taken the time or trouble to investigatemore closely have been prone to criticise those who were engaged in the work for abandoning what was cousidered such apromisiug and productive field. “If these people,” said a minister of the city while discussing this matter a few days ago, “*had been as liberal with the use of their money as they arein the use of their tongues, the People's church, which they clain to have loved so much, might still be Hourishing and couverting sinners, ““Churches like the one conducted by Mr. Suvidge last winter,” he continued, ‘are the most difficult in the world to conduct. It must be done nearty entirely by subscrip- tion. There can be no denying the fact that of the 1,500 people that aftended Mr. Suv- id ermons on Sunday mornings, many were idlers who, passing by the door of the opera, fell in with the crowd and followed it. Once inside the music attracted them and they would stay through the service, but when the col- lection boxes were passed may hands would remain without the pockets. These men were after free entertainment. They were not will- ing to pay for religion. HA pucqlo'a church isa good thing and therefore desirable. It attracts a cluss cf peo- ple that the ordinary churches cannot at- tract. Mr. Savidge did well in his attempt. to redeem men in this direction and by super- human eflorts managed, I understand, to keep evenon financial matters, But thestrain was too great for one man. He couldn't stand it and had to give up the church, “Now we want a people's church in Omaha and we should have one, but, the only way we could carry such an institution along succ fully is for all the churches to uniteand ca their relative shaves of the financial load. 1 think this matter should be taken up by the ministers, but I would give the peoplea chance to think of it for a few weeks and then begin work in the fall.” An Institution to Be Desir d. A movement was inaugurated at the Mil- lard hotel last Thursday evening which will probably result in the establishment in Omalia of abrauch of the Young Men's Catholic in- stitute of Americ: Judg: L. Sullivan, president of the insti- tute, arrived in the city early Thursday even- ingand was received atthe depot by Mayor Cushing, members of the Catholic Young Men's society of this city, and others, He was taken to the Millard hotel, where an in- formal banquet was tendered Thim, Father Carroll acting as master of ceremonies. A most delight- ful social hour was spent in this way and then Judge Sullivan explained to those present in detail the objeetof his visit. He was here to establish a branch of the insti- tute of which he is president and thought uo more promising field than this could be found anywhere. The object of the institute is to educate the young men of the churchin the higher branches of study and to prepare such as should desire for the priesthood. heeches were made by Mayor Cushmg, C.J. Smyihe and others, all I the location of the branch. Judge Sullivan rerainedin the eity Friday and talked the matter over with the resident priests and the societies of the churches and there is no doubt but that the branch will be established in Omaha, Mahone CHURCH NOTICES.
