KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
The Grand Lodge in Annual SessiOn-EncOur-
aging Reports of Officers.

The Grand Lodge of the knights of Honor be-
gan its ninth annual session yesterday morning,
in the Baldwin Block. There is an attendance of
100 delegates, representing 108 subordinate
lodges. Thomas H. Walker, the grand dictator,
in his annual address to the lodge, stated that
the membership had not increased as largely as
in previous years, but the growth had been
steady, and success is assured by the generally
healthful condition of the order. There are now
only two secret organizations, he said, that ex
coed the Knights of Honor in number of mem
bers, and those two are the Masonic and Odd
fellows orders. The insurance in 1883 com
prised nineteen assessments of one dollar
each, and, with the annual dues. the amount col
lected equaled from 81 to $13 per ST., 600 of in
surance. He recommended a change in the laws of
the order making provision for each subordinate
lodge to pay the assessments to the grand re-
porter, who should be required to account to
the grand treasurer. The terms of the grand
officers, he recommended. should be one year
instead of six months, and the sessions should
be held semi-annually, on the first Tuesday in
January and the first Tuesday in July. The
delegates to the Supreme Grand Lodge should
be instructed to oppose any legislation relating
to the question of suicide, and they should be

law giving subordinate lodges the power to
punish drunkenness among members. He also
advised the creation of a sinking fund by the
Grand Lodge, and urged more united work in
advancing the interests of the order.
The grand reporter, James w. Jacobs, reported
that sixty-seven members had died during the
year, and the benefciaries had received $40, 900,
while the amount which they had paid into the
fund prior to death aggregated only So, $3.50.
The grand treasurer, Walter B.. Godfrey, re-
ported that the receipts during the year amounted
to So, 1893. 60, which, added to the balance from
last year, $3,312.60, made the fund in his hands
$7,O06.42, from which there had been disburse-
ments to the amount of S., 462. SO, leaving a bal
ance on hand of 81, 543.5 SO.
Following the hearing of the reports of tie
officers, the session was devoted to the transac-
ton of regular business.
Last evening the members of the Grand Lodge
were given a reception by the subordinate lodges
OF the city, which was largely attended by mem
bers of the order. Addresses were delivered by
Robert j. Breckenridge, supreme treasurer, and
b. f. Nelson, supreme reporter, of Louisville.

WHY the Jersey Lilv Refused a Seat.

The observed Of all observers at the tableaux

first occasion this entertainment was given in
aid of the Bartholdi fund. was Mrs. Langtry,
who made herself conspicuous Outstanding at the
side of the house directly under the gaslight, so
that the holders of lorgnettes that were leveled at
her and kept there in preference to the beauties
on the stage, had no difficulty in obtaining "a full
view of her famous features. Ushers ap-
preached the Jersey Lily and asked her
to take a seat, but she persisted in
standing, on the principle of the young
man who wouldn't dance, but posed in the door
way of the ballroom and 'let 'em long for him"
Finally, Mrs. Langtry, who was accompanied
by a gentleman whom all the ladies in the house
pronounced "a queer man" consented to take a
seat, but seemed uneasy and left after a few
oments and went and stood at the back of the
orchestra circle. Why would she, or could she,
not sit down. The problem was solved when it
was discovered that the back of her perfectly
fitting dark olive green cloth dress was
garnished with a p~lumage of innumerable small
feathers. The Lily had evidently no intention

Blaine as an Editor.

Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Blaine is very systematic in his literary
work. His methods are those of a journalist
rather than those of a professional bookmaker.
He is, indeed, a born newspaper man, and it is
a pity, some of us think, that he did not follow
that calling instead of switching off from edit
ing a country paper to run for Congress. hap
the House of Representatives, he had a great
temptation to put his feet on the very top round
of the journalistic ladder. He was offered the
editorship of one of the greatest New York
newspapers at a salary larger than any editor
now receives, and nearly as large as that of the
President of the United States. Curiously
enough, too, the offer came from a journal
which has never been friendly toward Blaine
from that day to this. As an illustration of Mr..
Blaine's careful writing, [ recall that he once
told me he had in his last reading of his Garfield
memorial grafton cut it down ! ,180 words, simply
with a view to the utmost c%onciseness of ex-
preston.

The arguments in the foreclosure suits against
the Toledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis Railroad Com
pany closed yesterday, and ten days will be
granted the attorneys in the case for consulta-
ton with their clients before any decree is en-
tered. The trial of the case before the five
judges was required, because the property in lit
igation extends into the different districts over
which they have jurisdiction. The money OBJ
tanned by the sale of the first and second mort
gage bonds of the road, amounting to 500, 00O,-
900, was expended in the construction of the
road, and the equipments were not owned by the
company. The security of the bondholders is
vested only in liens upon the equipments, which
have been in the possession of the receiver since
his appointment. The interests involved in the
case are quite large, and the claims will aggre-
gate many millions of dollars.

ROSES OF EXQUISITE TINTs.
Blossoms of the Hybrid Kind, as Well as the
Pale Pink ROthschild.


New York Evening Post.
Among fashionable hybrid roses the Glorie de
Paris and Anna de Diesbach are the two varie-
ties that have been so successfully forced this
season; but the severe forcing has taxed them
so that after the first day they begin to
lose their color and the high price charged at
frst.($ each cannot be procured for them after
they have been cut twenty four hours. When
the more natural season of bloom approaches
they may be depended upon to last longer.
These long-stemmed hybrid roses have been used
with magnificent effects by a Broadway florist,
who is reckless i'll profusiOn, when adjoining
apartments for entertainments. On Tuesday
last he decorated for twenty-one dinners and one
large wedding. Hundreds of costly roses were
used, and a marvellous quantity of spring flowers
and rare vines.
A Sixth-avenue florist has succeeded in his
Conservatives at Woodside, l.. l., in forcing
thus early the lovely rose Baroness de
Rothschild. This pale pink rose is of
heroic size, and the foliage close to its outside
petals spreads broad and wide. 1t is a bouquet
in itself. Only a few Baronesses arrive each
day, and they bring fabulous prices.
The straw-loop fan is one of the exquisite nov
elites of the season that has originated with a
florist at Broadway and Fifth auenue. This fan
is having a run for favors for the german and
for dinner souvenirs. 1t is made of Italian
straw, with a graceful loop for the handle. On
the straw is laid a spray composed of lily-of-
the-valley, three rosebuds and a cluster Of vic

Philadelnhia Record.


~ A watercloset should never be placed in a
bathroom. ~ Every water-closet should have
direct communication with the outer air. (3) A
thoroughly ventilated lobby should always be
interposed between the water-closet and the cor
ridor from which it is accessible. a. All pipes
and fittings of every description should be Elk
posed to sight in every part, neither cased in
wood nor hidden in the wall, so that any defect
or leak may readily be detected. The first rule
is perpetualy violated, and those who go to a
bathroom to cleanse the outside of the body
usually take foulness into the inside while they
dc it. To place a water-closet in the interior of
a house, away from the outer wall in such a po-
sition that it ventilates itself by poisoning the
air in the house, is an objectionable sin. The
best position for the closet is in a small addition
built out at the side or back of the house and
connected with the house by a lobby with ample
windows. Between lobby and closets, and open
ing into each, should be a Ventilating fue or
shaft, made to work the right way by burning a
lamp in it to create an upward current of air.
With this and with good plumbing a double safe
guard against malaria would be secured.
