MODERN WOODMEN'SBIG CANP. Tt Will Be Pitched Next Fall in Omaha, the Convention Oity, WHAT THE NEXT SESSION MEANS, An Interesting and Assorted Collec- tion of Secret Society News Spe- cially Selected in Parts of the Lodge World, Omaha is rapidly coming to be recognized 4s the center of the universe and the one best place in which to hold conventions, All gath- erings of importance, composed of delegates who attend from all sections of the country, are becoming cognizant of the fact that Omaha possesses advantages equal to those offered by any other city in this great and glorious republic, and they give evidence of their appreciation of the strength of the argument by fixing upon this, the Gate City of the west, as the place for the future meeting. The latest society to fall intoline is the Modern Woodmen of America, which held its bi-enninl session at Springfield, 1L, com- mencing on November 10, This action of the head camp is due to the efforts of Dr. E. E. . Slomin, who during the absence of his col- leagues of the Omaha delegation, took it upon himself to invite the governing body to hold its next session in Omaha, and empha- sized his invitation by dwelling upon the many advantages offered by ths city, When the matter was put toa vote Omaba received a large majority of the votes cast, the next place in favor being Madison, Wis. “The next regular session of tho head camp wul be held in November, 1892, but it is highly probable that a special session of the head camp will be called during the interval, in which case the camp will meet in Novem- Yer, 1801, A session of the head camp means that 1,000 or 2,000 delegates will be in attendance from all of the northern states for several days and it is reasonable to suppose that these delegates will spend, on an average, $10 each, or an aggrogate of $10,000, wbich will g0 into the pockets of Omaha' merchants. 1t would seem good policy to entertain them ‘well 5o that they may come again, The matter of state jurisdiction was one of the most important brought before the head camp aud was the subject of a great deal of debate. It was developed during the con- sideration of the matter that the laws of the state of Illinois, under which the society was organized, would not_allow any division to assume the responsibility in the matter of making assessments to pay death losses, but reauired that the head« clerk aud a majority of the board of directors should be residents of Tlinois. It was therefore decided to adopt & system of state jurisdiction in everything except the levying and collecting of asscss- ments to pay death losses and the board of directors was ordered to make a thorough in- vestigution of the matter and report to the next meeting of the head camp a feasible plan for state jurisdiction in all matters pertaining to the order, Not As Americans Would Do It. Our British cousius are very apt to taunt Americans with an over anxions greed for urning an honest penny, says the New York Mercury; still as far as Masonry has been converted into money-making from the pro- fane, we must acknowledge our inferiority in practical scheming to the brethern of South Australia. We have before us a programme setting forth the ceremonies and exercises to be observed upon the occasion of laying the the grand master, his excellency the right horiorable the earl of Ktnton, of St. Peter's cathedral, in Adelaide, we presume on Sep- tember 27 last, at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, A special communication of the grand lodge was convoked to assemble at the residence of the pro-grand master, from whence a proces- sion composed of all brethren desirous of dis- playing himself in regalia in the rear of the grand lodge, would- pass to the cathedral. That there might be music in the air, we are informed that *‘the police commissioner, (Brother Feterswald) has kindly permitted the services of the police band who will lead the procession,” showing that at the anti- podes, music has practical charms to soothe reast. Thus far good, but now objectionable and to our minds, sonic innovation. ‘‘Admission of the general public to witness the ceremony will be by ticket, which may be obtained from the grand sceretary at Freemason hall, price one_ shilling (twenty-five cents) and two shillings six pence (sixty-two cents).” In other words, the solemn ceremony of lay- ing the cornerstone of an ecclesiastical edi- fice with high Masonio honors degenerated into an open air, financial exhibition. A Liberal Offer to the Cerneau Bodies. The experience of the Cerneauites in the matter of grand commanders who succes- sively deserted them, has been bitter and instructive, says Colonel Thomas Picton in the New York Mercury. The founder,Harry G. Seymour, a speculator in Masonic degrees, pressed by the pangs of poverty, transferred for cash in hand his self-assumed dignity to William H. Peckham, who was unexpectedly superseded by Ferdinand T. S. G viously under allegiance to Albert memuer of the grand lodge of Maryland. Strange to romark, author ot the resolutions severing relutions between that grand lodge and the grand orient of France, Seymour and Gorgas had once been members of legitimate Scottish rite bodies. P’eckham never had Dbeen, and it was on this account that his supreme council to a man passed over to the Thompson Folger rvevivalists, the grand sec- retary carrying with him his book of wmin- utes, \in two years last past negotia- tions have been opeiled ywithout success for an “*honorable amalgation’ of the two bodies claiming a similar title and a legitimato descent equally from the grand consistory of New York, as constitnted in 1807, This movement for consolidation has been and ever will be hopeless, inasmuch as the Gor- man supreme council, known as the Veteran, will sunction no step towards union with an organization they have repeatedly denounced as spurious in the extreme., Nevertheless, 10 rectify in an honorable way the wrongs srpetrated upon credulous. brethren under randulent usurpation of their title, the su- preme ccuncil of the United States of Amer- ica offers, should the Cernean rite lodges dis- band to reorganize under legitimate author- ity, that they will be granted warrants free of ‘cost or charge. Scottish Rite in lowas, The committee appointed by the grand master of Masons in Towa to investigate charges against several of the members in various parts of the state for being members of the Scottish rite, United States jurisdic- tion, has sent notice that they will be in Council Bluffs this week to gather testimony in regard to one of the members there. .The law under which such proceedings are belng taken is & most novel one in Masonry, and the attempt to enforce it is being watched with much interest by the craft. This law makes it & Masonic' offense to belong to other organizations unless they are pproved by the grand lodge and the trial for such offense is stillmore peculiar. Instead gf giv- ing the local Iu\lfe the rightto try such s case it takos all vight away from the local lodge and gives it to'n committee chosen by the grand master, in selecting which {ury. the accused bas no voice, This committee proceeds to take such testimony as it sees fit und then veports to the grand lodge.

EACH. committee of three will have to putina great deal of time, as one member is tried at a time, and there are seven or eight hundred of the accused scattered over the state. The expense for services, mileage, ete., will make quite an item, and on account of many other objections the law is proving very unpopular among blue lodge Masons who object to the grand lodge taking sides in_an issue between 0 rival Scottish. rite bodies, in neither of which the blue lodge Masons are interested. The prediction is made that the law will be revoked at the next meeting of the grand lodge, and the Scottish rite bodies compelled to settle their differences in their own way, without dragging in the grand lodge to help one or the other out. Masonic. On November 28, Ararat temple (Kansas City) will conducta class of novices over the hot sands, Isis temple (Salina, Kas.) held a session for work the 12th inst. A large class of sons of the desert had their feet blistered. Moila temple (St. Josesph, Mo.) will confer he Order of the Nobilitv, upon a class on November 26. They say Moila does good work and lots of it. General Atbert Pike, grand commander of the southern jurisdiction, Scottish rite, is se- riously ill in Washington, D. C. Ho has been dangerously ill but is believed to have passed the critical point. The Solomon chapter, R. A. M., last even- ng elected officers for the ensuing year: Benjamin Crabb,M. E. H. P.; W, H. Reader, E. K.; George E. Chilcote, scribe; Willard L. Whedon, secretary: Charles L. Meissner, treasurcr. After the business wmeeting the lodge enjoyed an oyster supper. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born January 27, 1756, one of the grandest musi- clans the sworld' has ever produced, was a member of the Masonic fraternity, On his death 1n 1791, the lodgein which he held a membership, paid a special tribute to his niemory and worth by holding a lodge of sor- row. A Masonic temple is being spoken of for Birmingham, The Masons are rapidly in- creasing in Alabama, and the future is bright with promises for them, With 15,000 Masons in the state and the number constantly in- creasing, there is noreason why the move- ment should not meet with success, it ener- getically pushed. Ten dollars contributed by each Mason in the state would erect a $150,000 boilding. 0Odda Fellowship in Japan. E. V. Thorne, writing from Far East lodge No. 1, in Japan, says that the lodge numbers twenty and continues: *I shall do all in my power to advairce the interests of the order in every way. Weare running along harmoni- ously, but owing to the intense heat of sum- mer are not growing as fast as I anticipated, As the cold weather comes on we expect sev- eral applications. We have had to reject some and I have considered it good policy to have several applications withdrawn, rather than risk a vote. W.e are made up of all na- tionalities, and sometimes prejudices are apt to creep in. As an evidence of the interest taken, I can say that we have nearly a full attendance every lodge night, As regards the sentiment of the lodge on the question of admitting Japanese into the order, it was de- cided at our last meeting that, owing to the goverament behuf opposed to all secret socie- ties or meetings, it is too early n the history of Japan to admit the natives, “‘While many of the better classes would be most welcome as members,there are others that cannot be relied upon, so that the ques- tion of procuring their admission and solicit- ing the sovereign grand lodge 1 their behalf was ‘indefinitely postponed.' We close the year with twenty =good members, have two applications and promises of six more. We doubt if many lodges can show as many Anes (#21) for the same length of time, and while the absences are not creditable tothe officers, the collection shows that we mean business. In June we shall have an elegent new hall that no doubt will help us, our present quar- ters being too small and out of the way, We shall dedicate the hall pablicly, and are al- ready working to make the ceremonies i Krcssivo and interesting. Brother C. E. Miller, our outgoing vice grand, was com- velled to resign, having removed to Kobe. He writes that he will shortly start a lodge, hav- ing already the support of the leading citi- zens. He will undoubtedly get up a strong, healthy lodge, which will soon outnumber Far East, as Iobe 1s a better field to work ) L O. O, F. About $1,000 has been subscribed for the Oddfellows’ home at Worcester, Mass, “The Oddfellow who speaks of the Re- bekah degree otherwise than with respect is inexcusably ignoraut of the influence of woman and what it bas- done for the order,” says the Chicago Odd Fellow. According to a table published in the Do minion Od\fFullow the growth of the whole order during the vear 1889 was 6.1 per cent. Of the leading jurisdictions Missourt stands at the head with 6.2 percent. Indiana fol- lows with 5.6 per cent, Ontario with 5.4 per cent, Illinois with 5.2 per cent, Pennsylvania with 4.9 per cent, Iowa with 4.8 per cent, and so on down to New Jersey with 2.6 per cent of growth, G. A. R. Alexander Hamilton post, 182, of New York city, has introduced a new ceremony at tho opening of the post which they call “saluting the flag.” The color sergeants, one carrying a rogulation flag, the other the post flag, under escort of the color guard and com- manded by theoficer of the day, are admitted o the post-room. The commander calls up the post. While the comrades are singing ono verse of the “Star-Spangled Banner" the color guard and bearers advance to the altar and there halt. When the singing ceases the post commander orders *‘present arms.” All present salute, the color bearers dipping their flags. At the order, “‘carry arms’’ the color bearers pass each other right and left and advance towards the commander’s sta- tion or headquarters and plant the flags at the right of the post commander and return to their position. ) The post is then seated, and the color giard, under the com- mand of the officer of the' day, is then dis- missed. As there 1s 5o patent on this little ceremony, it is worth ile for other posts to see whether it mignt n%zr):. made an attract- ive feature in all camp fi There is to be a monumgnt erected in Wash- ington, D.

The undertaking is a big one and will rgguh‘q:eg)od deal of hard work on the part of the veterans to make it successful, hut it is belleved that it will be finally accomplished. The project is the re- sult of agitation by members of the Army of The Potfmac _association, which appointed committee at its meefing in 1880. Tnis com- mittee, after spending some time upon the proposition, decided to inake the movement a national one, so as to inclade the dead heroes that lie buried in the nebal prison-pens of the south from overy nortybm rmy in the honors to be paid through the memorial, K of P, The journal of the late session of the supreme lodge will be ou early in November, and one copy will be sént to each lodge. It will be & volume of some 450 pages. The supreme lodge has given its sanction to the Pythian college which will be estab- lished at Gallatin, Tenn,, under the manage- ment of the grand jurisdiction of Tennessee. A circular that creatéd much comment was read in the Catholig churches of the Coving- ton (O.) diocese on Snndl{, Qctober 5. It was in effect that Oddfellows, Knights of Pythias, Knights of Honor and other secret societies, exmpnn( lhafiuonl order, are no longer, bar from the Catholic church. While no explanation is given, it is learned that this was the principal topic discussed at the council of bishopd in ton_several weeks ago.

U W, North Omaha lodge No. 159 of the Anci Order of United Workmen held leasant social session at their hall last Mon- ay evening. There was a very large attend- ance of members, who wero in most cases accompanied by their wiv nd children. A highly entertaining programme consist- ing of speeches, recitations and music, was very successfuily carried out and the refresh- ments, which were supplied during the evening were much enjoyed by all present. Among the many pleasant_features of this entertainment were the recitations given by Miss Bertie Casaday, Miss McKenna and Miss Dot McKenna, the latter being but six years of age. The musical portion of the programme was very effectively supplied by Miss Michaels and Miss Smith, Mr. James B.
