The commanding general and his staff have 1:0 other business than the zovern- ment of the forco, and they occupy five or six large offices in a downtown building. Once in three yoars the Patriarchs Militant meet in a grand cantonment. The last was in Chicago in 1590, and_the cantonment next year will also be held 1 that city, at which timo it is oxpected’ that the atiendauce of Patriarchis will be the largest since tho foundatiou of the order. Oue of the best gatherings of secret so- cioties was had hore Thursday afternoon and evening by the Blair lodge No. 14, Indopen- dent Order of Oddfellows, the occasion being the dedication of their new hall.

Nebragka lodg the bauner lodge of this grand jurisdiction, was greeted with a large attendance Wednesday evening attheir regular mesting. The rank of page was couferred upon two most worthy aud honored citizens and in such @ manner as cannot be excelied in the state of Nebraska. There were several visitors, all of whom baa words of cheer for the *'good of the order," but most espscially entertaining were tho remarks of Worthy Brother Supreme Represoutative McFar- lund, who gave a very elaborate account of the action of the supreme lodge, togother with that of the Uniform Rank at Kansas City, and also of the adoption and exemplification of the new ritusl which will be placed in the haods of all suvordinae lodwes on the 1st of December uext and go into effect on January 1, | Pythiaus all over Amerioa aro anxious to see tho new ritual of which so much has been said and written during the last. year, or really eversince the ritual committes was appointed. The action i tho supreme lodge i plucing itself directly in toncn with the peoplo will be the means of stimulating the memborship of this order to greater ac- tvity, thereby increasing their numbers and cementing vach and every one more firmly in the bonds of friendsulp, charity and benevolen Nebrasia No, 1 will work tho first and sec- ond ranks on next Wednesday evening and all mombers are requested 1o be present ana all visiuog knights will receive a cordial and hearty woleome, Mars lodge No, 130 held their regular meot- ing at their ball, Thirtioth near Brown, vn the eveuing of the l4th with Vice Chancetlor Wood ,)roshlmfl Thore was a largs attond- ance of memvers present, considoring the excitomont in town occasioned by the pres- enoe of Barnum'’s groat cirous.

The brethren of Mars lodge mourn the loss of one of their faithrul associates, Sir Knight James Sulli- van, who has takea a loag farewell to join his brother kuights in the supreme lodgo above. The chancollor commander of Mars lodge will be home in o few weeks from a visit 10 "his relatives in the east, and his brother knights will he glad to see him again 1n their midst, Only a month moro and our Grand Lodge will convene, says The Knight's Jewel. This will undoubredly be a very interesting ses- sion, and every suvordinate lodge should see that they are fully ropresented. Some por- tions of our constitution. must nceds be revised to comply with the requirements of Supreme Law, und many matters of local importance will be presented for considera- tion. It is predicted that the promulgation of the new ritual will bring back into the fold thousands that grew tired of the otd work and withdrew or were suspsnded solely by reason of lack of interest. And to such wo can truthfully state you will not be disappointed in your expéctation of sceing and hearing something of beauty ana merit. The new ritual is as far in advance of the old, as God's sunlignt is more beautiful than the darkeued pall of nignt. To briefly * summarize tho important chinges in the laws made at the last session of the supreme lodge: Red collars are prohibited, fied” is a thing of tho past.

The “amph- hold Medinab temple of Chicago is golng to taild a home for itself that when completea will bo ono of the finest secrat socioty ouild- ngs in the world. The property has a frontage of 110 foot on Fifth uvenue, by 115 on Jackson stroet and the direotors hope to secure a frontage of 65 feot on Quincy street, thereby making a total streot frontage of 200 foot. The building is to be a twelve-story, fireproof structure, snd will ocost about $550,000, and while the plans are still incom- pleto sufciont progross has boen mado to warrant the assortion that this building will be devoted to store pirpoies and the next cight st ries will be espaciully desizaed to accommodato foreiga and eastera raprasen- tatives and manufasturers’ agents. The eleventh and twelfth floors are to be entirely utilized us & permanent home for Medinah templo and will bo arranged par ticularly for the suceessful rendition of tho impressive initiatory coremonies of the oraer. Tho precoptory will bo arranged like a theiter with a parqiiot and gallery, soat ing about 1,000 persons, and the stagzo and scanory, etc., will be as large and extensive s those of o regular theater. A lurge ban- quet bull and a number of parlors, dressing- rooms and smoking-room will also be de- voted to the comfort of the members of the order. Medinah temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shriue, is a branch of the Masonic fraternity and no one is eligible to nemher. ship 1o it unless be has reached o high rauk 1 that fraternity. ‘I'he total membersnip of the Chicazo shrine is now over 1,500, and is increasing at the rato of about 4)0 members per year, and the nceessity of large and com- modious quarters is apparent to auy who have atteaded its rocent sessions. Some other branches of tho Masoalo ordor have spoken of the provability of becoming ten- ants of the structure, but it s primarily os- tablished for the use of the Medinah templo aud it is doubtful whother any othor Masouic organization will occupy any portion of the building.
