JEWISH ORDER 8.
Movement for the Consolidation of the Sew
eral Hebrew Societies.

New York Special.
Delegates from the lodges of the Independ-
ent Order of B mai Birth, the independent
Order OF the Free Sons OF Israel, and the
Order of Kosher Shell Baize met this after
noon at No. 100 East Eighty-sixth street, in
response to a call, for the purpose Of consid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of uniting these three
orders under one management, this proposi-
ton having already been approved in the
District Grand Lodge, No. g. Independent
Order of B'nai Birth. A committee was
then appointed to investigate the question.
This committee, in its report to-day, stated
that such union would prove of great
advantage to all concerned since the
capital would be increased, expenses
diminished, and the united efforts of the
members be directed to the accomplishment
OF one and the same object. The member
ship would increase by thousands and the
funds by tens and hundreds OF thousands. 1t
was thought best by many first to bring the
question of consolidation before the grand
lodges, and, should they decide to unite,
ways would be formed to arrange the mat
tiers of premiums to the satisfaction OF all
concerned. 1t was the desire and aim of all
the delegates to unite the lodges and to
unite the Jews in the United States and in
every country in the world. 1t was sug-
gested that a political body should be formed
to agitate the question of consideration in
the lodges in every assembly district. A
resolution was offered to appoint a commit
tee 10 draft plan for the formation of a
plenary body whose object should be to
bring about an malgamation of the three or
ders. An amendment was offered to instruct
the committee to bring the matter of CONSOLE
dation before the meeting OF the Grand Lodge
of the Bnai Birth, which will take place
soon. The amended resolution was adopted,
and the chair was authorized to call meet
ing OF the delegates after the meeting of the
Grand Lodge.

Two young gentlemen who started out yes
terday to pay New Years calls carried with
them in their coupe a bunch of roses. The
reason for this floral accompaniment was a
bet made at a New Years eve dinner party
that every young lady they called upon
would mention the weather, the bouquet to
be given to the first girl who failed to discuss
the time-honored subject The start was
made at noon, from the Social Art Club, and
they were to return at o'clock to report the
result. The wager was dinner. At the APP

Reasons why Leopold Sessler, of Milwaukee,

Special to Chicago Tribune.

Catholic Church, is tailor by trade. lie is

Abraham, six, and the youngest girl named
Anna, ten months. He came to New York
from the vicinity of Krakan ten years ago
From there he removed to Chicago, and af-
ter stay of two years became resident of
Milwaukee. His first inclination to desert
Judaism and seek religious consolation in
bosom of the Catholic church was expert
enced in Chicago. Circumstances, however,
enforced postponement until such time
as he should feel able to see his way in life
clear of the need of assistance from the Jew

parents sought spiritual comfort from the
Capuchins, but were compelled through
straitened circumstances to enforce another

Work was secured from various large cloth

establishments, a man of Irish descent, it is

no longer hold himself dependent upon Jew

Assassin-Like Attacks,


The assassin-like attacks on Major Doxey
are the desperate resorts of papers who al
ready read the verdict of defeat for Thomas
B. Ward. One of the principal supporters
of Mr.. Doxey before the district nominating
committee was Uncle Samuel Meharry. OF
Meharrys neighborhood in Tippecanoe
county. He said he knew Charley Doxey
when fatherless boy struggling to support
his mother and family on small farm in his
settlement; he knew him when private SOL
der; in the jaws of death, when life seemed
hopeless; az his home in the city of Ander-
son, surrounded by the respect Of his neigh
bors and, while not a politician, he could
not conscientiously refrain from helping him
to a higher and deserved honors of congress
man, and he would guarantee an increased
vote in Jackson township, his boyhood
home. The estimate of Uncle Samuel Me
harry is the sentiment OF those who know
Major Doxey best.

Lovers of justice and fairness in this COM
munity will notice that Thomas B. Ward S
friends, in their opposition to Major Doxey,
are not content with misrepresenting and
vilifying him, are so regardless of common
decency as to maign the noble dead. and
while this disgraceful thing is going on, not
one word is said by Republicans against the
private character of Mr.. Ward. When this
is soberly reflected upon by men of all classes
and all political parties, it cannot fail to have
its effect against the intentions and the sue
cess of these instigators of falsehood and
enumeration.

Of all meat we get from quad
rupeds it is hygeinic fact that none
are more wholesome or better favored
than mutton-we mean good mutton,
not the leavings of flock of sheep,
from whose backs we have already
worn out three suits of clothes.
We want more mutton, but we want
that raised for human food and not
that commonly sold in our markets
from sheep that have become nom
productive as wool growers and are
then palmed off on the public for food.
No wonder more mutton is not eaten.
An uniformed person may ask what
kind of sheep to keep for mutton. An
exchange answers that thus: "If NUT
ton is the object, take mutton sheep
of tie English breeds; if wool is the
object, take the American merino.
Do not try and breed a sheep combin-
ing wool and mutton, because each
has a fixed type. The coarse wool
sheep have been bred for hundreds of
years on the downs of England and
are fixed type, while the fine woods
were bred in Spain as long ago as the
time when the Moors invaded that
country"

10 the EulJOr OF the OtaJeSmdn:
1 wish to say, in reply to letter
from the county judge of Llano coun-
ty, that have never understood N.Y.
self as attacking the good county of
Llano or her good citizens, and she
certainly needs no defense against
any statement of mine. In the ac-
count given by me, as reoorted in THE
STATESMAN, of the killing of said
Dixon by w. G. Sawyer, did not
mean to say, or to be understood as
saying, that the friends of said Saw
yer actually resisted the sheriff, or
that the sheriff actually attempted to
make any arrest, but / was informed
by divers persons that no arrest. in
fact, was made, nor were the defend
ants taken into custody, but that the
defendants did come and submit
themselves to an examination
before the county judge, and with
him brought, or was associated with,
from fifteen to seventeen men armed
with Spencer rifles, and that they, or
some of them, were heard to say on
the streets of the town of Llano that
the defendant could not or should not
be arrested, or words to that amount.
OF this only know what / was told.
OF course had no reason to disbe-
lieve it, from the very fact of so many
men being on hand so promptly with
their firearms. / don't know any of
the parties personally, and I did not
understand myself as reporting that
the defendant, or any of the party
with him, told the honorable county
judge that he could not or dared not
to bind Sawyer to appear at the dis
trict court on the charge, but 1 was
told by men whom ! be-
ieve to be good men
that some of the crowd talked it on
the streets, and said that Sawyer
should not go to jail if he were bound
over. / spoke from that information.

not give their names in justice to them
and the defendant and the state, as
would not prejudice anybody or do
them injustice if ] knew it. Some of
my informants were men who said
they examined the body after the
killing, but did not testify. They also
said that they examined the vi
cinity Of the killing, and gave
me their opinions from which

facts into consideration, | drew
my conclusions. l understood my
self in the report, as given, as giving
my own conclusions in connection
with the facts, that 1 don't think at
this time expedient to particularize,
and if from that report have done
anybody injustice, l wish now to be
understood as desiring to have cor
rected such injustice to everybody
for /, nor the brothers, relatives or
many friends of Mr.. Dixon, whom he
killed, do not desire anything but
what is fair and legitimate; and as to

very kindly, indeed; and 1 can only

, that as see the case and understand
it, it was a horrible tragedy-On
D which all goo6 people regret, and the

as is due therefore; but if not guilt,
