The Supreme Council, which was in speclal session two days and one night in Philadelphia re- ceutly, transacted & great deal of business and made impor aut changes in the laws affecting the membership of the order. Two classes—a and B—have been created. Each class will be assossed separately aud each will have to pay its own obliga.fons in the matter of death losses. The rates for class I are the same as those of what 1S now known as the “Table of 1895.” All wh® were members of the order on the Ist fost. have been placed in Class B, and the assessment for the current month is the same on all members, the rate being the same as during the past year. Up (0 the 1st of rext July all who desire can transfer 10 ciuss A ou application, but af.er that date none who has reached the age of 40 will be e igible. Those under that age wili after that date ve egible if they pass a satsfactory medical examination. For class A a table based on_the natural pre- miom plan bas been adopted. Itis one that has Deen aaopted by many of the fraternal and assess- ment organizat ons ana cousidersd one of the safest plans extapt. Under this plan the rate increases each year until the ago of 60 13 reached. when it remains fixed at the amount of that yeur. Another change Is in regard to reinstatemen:s. In ihe past & susp nded member could e re Instated ut any Uwe wi-bin sixty days after sus- pension, but now there can be Do reinstutement without a medical examination. It a suspenced member is over 50 venis of age his reinsiatement must be wis hin sixiy days after suspeasion. ‘L his was adopted to circumvent abuses that were creep- inginto the order. Steps were taken by which the emergency fund is protected for the benefit of each class, i ne ofticers of Bobemian Council were installed on sSaturday by Graud Secretary Burion, and aiter the ceremony the secretary, who was & rep- resentative to the Supreme Council, gave a full explauation of the new laws.
