KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

The Statement That the Order Is to With
draw from Missouri Untrue-Notes.
The statement made by New York paper
that the Knights of Honor were going to
withdraw from the state of Missouri has not
a particle of truth in it, says The Knights of
Honor Reporter. The order has no need, nor
has it any intention, Of withdrawing from
Missouri The insurance commissioner has
commenced three suits, one against the Iron
Hall, one against the A. o. U. W., and one
against the Knights of Honor The first two
named have been tried, and the insurance
commissioner has been defeated in both The
Z. of H. case has not been tried, and is not
likely TO be, for the reason that the legisla-
ture of Missouri is about passing a law which
will put it beyond the power of an insurance
commissioner in that state to mako these Or
Gers any trouble.

The following extracts from an article
which recently appeared in the Masonic de-
psrtment of Noah's New York Sunday Times
may be of general interest.
There is no grand master of the United
States, each grand lodge having jurisdiction
over the territory circumscribed by the state
in which it is located. In England the Prince
of Wales, who is grand master, is the supreme
head of the Masonic fraternity proper within
the British dominions.
The Freemasons of France are not recog-
nized by the Masons of TINS country on &C
count of the fact that, some twenty-five
years ago, the former eliminated from their
law the prerequisite of belief III God before
a man could be made Mason. Immediately
upon this action being taken, the grand
lodges in America severed their friendly re-
lations with the grand Orient of France and
have not renewed this friendship
In Germany there are eight grand lodges
forming the grand lodge league; in Spain
and Italy there are but few Masons, and in
Russia there are not any Freemasons. Aus
tria has a few Freemasons; Turkey has not
any; in Switzerland there are a few, and the
same may be said OF Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. OF the lodges of the last mentioned
countries the king Of these respective lands is
the head and supreme grand master.
So far as India, Ceylon, China and the
West Indies are concerned, there are num-
Der of Masons in each of these countries, but
they are under English Scottish or Irish
warrants.

of st. Esprit Cof the Holy Ghost, of Bourbon
France, founded in the early reign of the

and have an expression Of constant n-
