CLAMPsUs VITUs.-Mokelumne Lodge
No. 1901, of the Ancient and Honorable
Order of E Clampsus Vitus, the most benife-
cent ever instituted for the amelioration of
the sufferings Of humanity, met at their Hall
on Saturday evening last. 1t was expected
that the n. G. H. of the State would be
present, and preat preparations were made to
give him warm reception; but owing to
circumstances over which he had no control,
he failed to connect. The solemn and i'm
pressive rites and ceremonies of initiation
were performed upon large number of ap-
phcsnts for admission to the Lodge. More
rigid safeguards are thrown around E Clamp
sus Vitusism than any other order. None
but those whose moral character is without
spot or blemish, and whose everyday life is
above reproach, are admitted to enjoy the
blessings and privileges which a strict OBJ
servance of the rules and teachings of the
Society confers upon its members. Its orr
gin dates back to the remotest ages of antiq-
uity, the first Lodge of which we have au-
thentic information, having been instituted
by Adam, in the 18th year of his age From
slIat time until the present, the Order has
been rapidly on the increase, and notwith-
standing the slight setback" it received in
The days Of Noah, it now numbers more
members than any similar Society i'll the
world. The various regalia, insignia and
paraphernalia of the Order were happily pre-
served in the Ark, and the moment it touch
ed Ararat, Lodge was organized by the pa
triarch. From the creation of the world
since the time the Lord spake and said, lie
there be light" although the Order extend.
to every cline and country under the sun
no member has been guilty of crime or com
mitted mean action. 1t is chiefly owing t.
the teachings. doctrines, and moral inhuenc,
of E Clampsus Nitusism, that the world eve
emerged from the superstition. ignorance anC
barbarism which succeeded the extinction o
the Roman Empire. The Lodge will meet
again at the Court House this evening"
Members are requested to be in attendance
at s O'Clock precisely. Applications for ad-
mission will he received, and, if satisfactory,
favorably acted upon.
