OBJECT AND PURPOSES.


This organization is what its name i'm
plies, Union for Mutual Aid, its object
being to associate unmarried men and wo-
men together to assist each other by provi-
ding fund for them at marriage, and for
the purpose of promoting morality, benev-
olence, temperance, economy and industry
INCORPORATED.
This Union was organized and chartered
under the laws of Louisiana. The officers
and directors are successful business men,
and are welRknown in commercial and So
cial circles. Their names are a guarantee
that the business of the Union will be
faithfully and honestly conducted. The
officers are under heavy bonds.
THE PLAN.
The Union differs from mutual life asso-
Citations, in that it pays its certificates at
marriage Tor stated time thereafter) while
they pay only at death. 1t also differs from
other marriage associations, giving more
benefits and for less money than they do,
allowing earlier marriages and paying
sooner Any white person, either male OF
female, OF good moral character and of
sane mind, can join either of the classes by
complying with the requirements OF the
Union. A person can only join one class
TWO FUNDS.
The money received on membership
fees and annual dues will be known as the
General Fund 1t will be used to pay Off
GERS, agents, rents and the expenses of the
Union. The assessments will be designa-
ted as the Marriage Benefit Fund, and will
only be used to pay the certificates as mar
riages occur.
CHARACTER OF APPLICANTS.
The officers OF the Union viii do all in
their power to prevent the admission OF
disreputable or immoral people. All APP
plicants must be satisfactorily recommend
ed before certificates will be issued. Ger
ti1ieates will not be paid when evidence is
reeeised that the parties marrying are I'M
worthy people and have practised fraud
on the Union.
-FOUR CLASSES.

designated as "A" 3d." &C." and I'D"

Strange Proceedings.

Yesterday afternoon, while a RE
PUBLICAN representative was going
his rounds, he dropped into an oyster
saloon, in Maryland avenue, kept by a
man named Jester, when he was made
cognizant of the following story:
One day last week man enter 81 the
saloon and procured ten cents worth
of raw oysters. After he had disposed
of them he commenced TO talk about
the merits of the Every Evening and
pulling ont note book, says TO the
oyster dealer: 81 will give you puff "
The oyster dealer replied that he did
not care to advertise just then, but the
man assured him that he would make
no charge for the local notice, but
would liEe TO take his name as Snb-
scriber for the paper. The man sub
sCribed Tor the paper tor a period OF
three months and paid fifty cents for
that length of time, receiving, what
appeared to be bona. tide receipt for
the same ard signed his name H. P.
Tofts. Since the above transaction
neither the map nor the paper has been
aeen since and the oyster man is at a
loss TO understand it. 1.-THE afternoon
daily has a man by that name in theiI
employ, he is certainly not fit man
for the business, ana If he is an impos-
ter lie should be arrested at once. lhe
receipts furnished by him are similar
to those used by the Every Evening.
