New YorIl's New Home-It VIII Eo Lo-
Gated at Utica.

New Yorlz's New Home-It VIII Eo Lo-
Gated at Utica.
When the Masonic temple was erected at
Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, New
York city, it was designed as a means of
revenue for the maintenance Of home for
aged and INDECENT Freemasous, widows and
orphans A heavy debt, however, was ere
ated by the erection, and the Masonic fra
ternity found it a difficult load to carry.
Three years ago the aggregate was nearly
half million dollars.
When Mr.. Frank r Lawrence was elected
grand master III 1885 he resolved to take ener-
getic means for removing this load, and to-
day the building is virtually free from ell IL
cumbrances, so that the revenue can be ap-
piled to its legitimate purpose.
In December, 1887, fair was held in the
Masonic temple in New York city, and about
S75, 900 was raised as a nucleus toward the cree
ton of the home or asylum Other donations
have increased the fund to over 800, 200, and
a committee of the Masonic grand lodge, ap-
pointed for tho purpose, has selected the site
for the building, which viii be located in
Utica Several locations were considered.
The grounds -'r 135 acres, and are easily
accessible by r.-..,'Oad from all parts of the
state. Preparations will now be made for
the ceremony Of laying the corner stone.

MODERN wooDMEN OF AMERICA

The New ReSalia Adopted by the Head
Camp-Handsome Uniforms.
The new regalia adopted by the head
camp, says The Woodmen's Echo is a scarf,
about four inches wide, made of peacock
green velvet, to hang over one shoulder, equi-
distant down the breast and down the back,
cut on the shoulder so as to hang squarely,
and secured upon the shoulder by a clasp or
pin; the scarf 10 be ornamented with the
elablems, ak, beetle and wedge, bullion
fringe, etc. In marching, those in the right
file will wear it on the right shoulder, and
those in the left file upon the left shoulder.
All other capes, collars and badges are dis
pensed with and will no longer be used
This regalia will be very handsome and
unique, and will be more durable and less
easily soiled than any other device Uni
forms are to be oil made of green cloth. In
signals of Office have been approved and the
Modern Woodmen can now dress up in p
style that is beautiful and peculiar to the
craft, giving it an identity of its own

ment that would be warmly welcomed by
all societies.
All orders might well inscribe upon the
walls of every lodge room the grand motto,
"God and Home and Native Land" Hardly
an order exists but that in some part of the
ceremony duo respect and reverence Is paid
TO the Creator and Preserver of the
Universe"
What means this multitude of orders, the
thousands of lodge rooms, the myriad of Off
GERS loaded with high sounding titles, the
costly uniforms, the recognition signs and
grips that bind men together as "brothersT
The answer may be summed up in four
words protection for the home"
How many fatherless homes today are
sheltered within the fraternal folds of Ma
sonry and guarded by the sleepless eye of
Odd Fellowship In sickness and in death
the angel Of fraternity crosses the threshold
Laden with all that can heal or comfort the
afflicted The infinite blessings conferred
upon bereaved families from year to year are
not published to the world, and therefore
their objects are not understood as they
should be. Many thoughtless people who
have never investigated the subject and
have never enrolled themselves in the army
of benefactors, often speak slightingly of Sc
cret orders They imagine that men go to the
lodge for convivial company, to have joili-
hcatlon over some new candidate and to get
away from home, when really it is for the
sake of the home
Every man, too, needs all the friends he
can make in this world, and friends cannot
be made easier than by joining a secret order.
By joining lodge in his own town he gains
possession of the mystic key that will unlock
for him hundreds of lodge rooms and thou
sands of hearts.
When the cradle ceases to rock and the
world stops growing, then, and not till then,
will our order come to an end Croakers and
insurance companies are fond of predicting
that great breaking up time will take place
by and by. But every year young men are
growing up and stepping into the places Of
those who have died or dropped out.
The young men fill the Offices, take,up the
orders and carry out the work Work in
the lodge room has many educational advant-
ages, and many men who are able public
speakers can trace large part of their Sue
cess back to their first Office. Lodge work
requires more or less knowledge Of parlia-
mentary tactics, and the better reader an
officer is, the better he can recite his part of
the degree work Little by little comes the
ability to speak oThand on various topics, and
the power to read effectively continually in
creaseS
So that to conclude, our secret orders can
not be written or talked up any too much,
whether morally, socially, beneficially or
financially. Every man should protect his
home by enrolling himself among tho
brothers Of sOne one or more of our fra
ternities
