What They Cost Among Masons, Oddfellows and Pythians, THE NAMES OF THE SEVERAL STEPS. The Institution of Side Degrees for Ladies, . and How They Are Encouraged by the Orders. Before entering either of the three great fraternities which flourish in this land of the free, the item of expenso is generally the governng idea, in connection with the good to be derived from association with the mem- bers and the prestige derved from member- ship. As far as general results are con- cerned it is considered that there is little difference on that score between the frater- nities in question. The oldest secret society, and in fact the one from which all others ave descendant, is that of the Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons. Thisis the order which attracts to its ranks the solid, substantial business men, and those who wish for fraternity for its own sake, without wishing or expecting to be pecuniarily benefited by the association. Musoury is the most costly of all of the secret orders and requires the greatest length of time for reaching the topof the degree- ladder, The foundation stone of Masoury, upon which the entire system rests, is the Blue lodge. Membership in this is necessary in order to acquire and retain membership in the so-called higher degrees. The Blue lodges in this city have ostablished & rate of $0 as an initintion fee for entrance into the mem- bership of the lodize and the conferring of the threo degrees, At least ome month must elapse between the conferring of the several degrees. The duesof each member amount to %150 per annum. Following the Blue lodge is what is known 8s the Chapter of the Koval Arch. In this there ave fourdegrees and the membership feo is $0, with ducs amounting to $2.50 per au- num.' Nospeafied time must elapse between the conferring of these degrees, although the requirement that there mustbe three candi- dates for the lust degree sometimes keeps would-be member waiting for six months or more for two candidates to join him, “The next step is the council of Koyal and Belect Masters, to which there are but two degrees, the {0 belng $10, with ducs amount- Ing to $1. This latter body 1s really the sum- mitof ancient craft Masonry, the so-called bigher degrees being modern additions which have really no conuectlon with Maso ‘The next step is the commandery of Knights Templar, The ouly connection which this body has with Masonry lies in the fact thut its mombers are required to be membe standing, in the blue lodge, chapter and council There are two degrees in the work of the commandery, although they are sometimes Increased to three by dividing the second. I'he first is the degree of Kuight of the Red Cross, and the secoud is Knight of Malta and Kulght Templar. '’he admission fee into the commandery in this city is $150, which enti- tles the member to & uniform. 'The wnnual dues are §. ‘The blue lodge, chapter and council belong to what is termed York rite Masoury, Thero is another branch in the Masonic structure which is known as Scottish Rite Masonry, and which counsists of thirty degrees, from the fourth to the thirty-third inclusive, There are five bodies in thii rite, namely the Lodge of Perfection, which includes all »grees up to and including the four- he Council of Princes of Jerusalem, comprises the fifteenth and sixteenth degreos; the chapter of Roso Croix, which in- cludes the seventeenth and ehxhlwn!h de- rees ; the council of Kadosch, which includes fhu degrees up to and including the thirtiett sud the grand consistory, comprising the and thirty-second degrees, The and last degree is conferred in n cases and under certain conditions. ‘The fee for the from four Abirty-secoud [t nual dues are $3. In the ordinary course of events a month is supposed to elapse between the degrees, but this is not usually the cas the average time required heing from six months toa year. In several of the eastern cities it is the custom to hold an annual meet- ing or reunion of the grand consistory, at which all who havereceived the fourteenth degree are required to be present aud re- ceivo tho remaining degrees, a whole week being usually consumed in the opera- tion, the members and candidates putting in all their time at the temple. In some states & candidate for the S Ritedegrees is required to have recei degrees of the chapter, counciland command- ery in addition to those of the Blue lodze, but ordinarily the only requirement is that the candidate shall be 8 Master Mason in good standing, Within the past few years an addition has been made to the branches which are being engrafted onto the pavent stock of Masonr This is the order known as the Ancient Ara- bic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, or the “Shrine,” as it is usually styled, In order to gain admission to this order it is re- quired that the caudidate must be either a Knight Templar or a 32d degree Mason, There is only one degree in this order and 1t is almost invariably conferred upon a large class and not upon individual upplicants. The fee is 25 and there are no dues. ‘This completes the list of Masonie bodies, and when the ambitious candidate shall have reached the top and shall have been initiated into the mysteries of the various bodies ne will have expended $420 in fees and be sub- ject to annual dues amounting to $15. For the special accommodation of es, daughters and sisters of s o side de; ch the Master re eliygible, admission is § andthe aunual onprE The next oldest sc operation in this coun dependent Order of Odd crowds the Masonic fr point of numbers, and erul operations. ' It differs from the latter very materially inone respect, namely, in that it is announced that members will 're ceive a cortain amount of money each week incase of sickness and another amount in case of death, whereas the Masonic order holds out no such inducements to proselytes, This feature of the Oddfellows is very popu- lar, and has been a godsend to muny a hon less, belpless brother who has been sick among strangers n & strange land, ~The amount of money ex- pended in this manuer annually reaches into the thousands, aud is made one of the most promiuent featurss of the order, In tho Oddfellows, as in the Masonic order, there are & vumber of different branches, the foundation of the order bein i as the “subordinute” lod; sponds to the blue lodge of the Masons. “T'here ave four degrees in this lodge, and the feo is §5. Ordina k must elapse between the conferring of the degrees upon a candidate, The annual dues are 8, and the amount of sick beuefitsis fixed by each lodge, being as high as & per week in some lodges. ‘The amount of this benefit is usually gov- erned by the clrcumstances of the case, aud often exceeds the amount stipulated. The next higher degree is kuown as the en- campaent, which hus three degroes. The fee in this body is $12 and two weeks must elapse between tho degrees. The dues are 8 per aunum, The next and last body in the order is the uuiform rank or Canton, asit is called. In this there is but one degree and the fee 15 $12, with dues amounting to & per annum, Each member is vequired to supply bimself with a uniform which costs in the neighbor- hood of §0, As iu the Masonio order there is a side de- greo for the ladics, to which members of the subordinate lodge are eligible, as well as the wives, sisters or daughters of members of the subordinate lodge. " There is but one de- gree iu this body, and the fee is §1 with an- nual dues of the same amount. KNI10HTS OF PYTHIAS, The Knights of Pythias s another frater- nity which has huad’ a wonderful growth in this country. Unlike the two great oxders above mentioned, which are international in character and huve lodges in every corner of the civilized world, this order is confined al- most entirely to this continent, aud is con- sidered a thoroughly American institution, There aro threo degrees in the order ows, 't socievy which is in v, is that of the In- This order ernity very closely in ssembles it in its gen- ot ts of Pythias, called “‘ranks." fee for admission is $20, and the annual dues amout to 5. At least one week must elapse between the conferring of the degrees except : This order also makes a ing stated sums to members ness or death, The minimum apreme lodge is $1 por week in case of sickness and $20 for funeral expenses, Each lodge fixes the amount it will pay in ex cess of these sums and in the majority of cases the amountis much larger, as’ the ne- ssities of the case demand, ie military branch of the order known as > Uniform” Rank, is the limitof the de- grees. In “this there is ouo degree, the feo being $2, with due mounting to $4 per num. Each member is requ to_provide himself with a uniform which costs from 0 The si fixed by the eflorts have boen made to attach & sido degree for ladics and two such have been organized but the suprome lodge has re- fused to afford them recognition.

An investiga- tion disclosed the fact that Butts had taken a quantity before leaving the oflice and then wandered about the streets until he was picked up by the oficer.

How the Original Structures Were Erected and Decorated and How They Appear in the Eyes of the Stranger. Come! drink to the homes That we knew long ago, ‘Those mansions now turiing (o dust! Omaha mansious of twenty years ago! The old, old homes of those who have here won wealth and prominence. There yet remain many of the early-day castles, Many a volumo would be required, however, to tell the story of all of them. Only afew can betold in the space athand, and those but briefly. In most instances time, and the towering business palaces of modern Omaha hayve had a kindly sheltering care for these early hearthstones, Inscarcely a single instance is the picture a very sorry one when viewea from the exterior, but to get beyond the en- trance, to peep into the old garret—then do you find— How very near these ldols ure To erumbling buck todust! A few momentssnent in runmaging through almost any of these mansions of twenty years ago, will result in ascertainiug several very evident facts, You will observe that they were built of *‘mighty good stufl;” that evi- dently » piece of ornamental moulding, how- ever modest, was not known in those days, and that the lords of these mansions must have oceu pied a considerablo portion of their time nailing pieces of tin cans over rat holes, Another thing noticeable will be that several of the fathers of Omaha believed in having their stroet doors open out instead of in—just as the laws of period insist that the doors of all public buildings shall swing. It will also be found that window- weights und patent window fasteners hadn't been ‘‘pushed’ so far west when these home shelters were erected. The wab- ble-sided condition of the sash makes it pret- ty plain that @ stick underone side of the sash was the proper caper as an iid to venti- lation,whilo a kuife stuck bevween the casing and the sash was the nearest they came to o window lock. In this connection itmay be conducive to tho satisfaction of some of those old-timers, and to the e htenment of new- comers, tonote that anational convention of scientific house-builders has just decided that that old knife-stuckin-thewindow schemo furnishes the only absolutely burglar-proof lock ther for a window. With bar 0 or three exceptions these mansions 1 skywurd to the dizzy height of one full story -but oh how com- fortable, cozy and home like they must have be They had their broad, vine-clad porches, rose-einbowered nooks, and their wide white pebbled walks. ; Noble old fireplaces supplied rich cheer through the long bleak winters and heard many & wealthy banker and merchant of to- day speak the word that won him the mother of Omaha's presont belles and beaux, Each of these mansions nad its own_well, which furnished as bounteous u supply of pure sparkbng water a3 ever was carried to the top of earth, s the now grayhairel owners tell us while as Tor the_ muddy Missouri—which we of this day and generation must dependupon solely— uted good enough for the thrifty young wife of that day_even todo her week's wasbing, while to_drink it was thoughtto almost disgriceful if not inbuman, To look, then, upon ihese mansions of twenty years ayo, now trembling with Timo's decay, i to still detect the factthat in their .y must have boen bright and alwiys ng little homes, the pride and most shed resort of their owners, Tho aristocratic residence portion of the town at_that tme was Howard and Harey strects, between Ninth and Twelfth strects.
