A SECRET SOCIETY RATE WAR.

II Is Rendered Possible by an Action OF
the New Jersey knights 90 Pythias.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 26lr-One action
taken by the Grand Lodge Of tho Knights OF
Pythias, at its recent session here, Is likely 10
lead 70 lively cut Ia rates among secret
societies and perhaps to a subsequent rate
war The constitution Of the Pythians pro-
vides that the initiation fee shall never be
fixed as less than $40, unless by dispensation
specially given by the supreme chancellor at
the request OF a grand lodge Of state The
result has been that in New Jersey the initia-
tion fec, while often more than $40, has never
been less than that, and often this has pre-
vented tho growth OF the order and carried
men over 10 other societies
In one city, for instance. the Odd Bellows
give exactly the same benefits on an initiation
fee Of $3.50, and their lodge has received in
few years nc least fifty men who would have
joined the Pythians had it not cost more
The Grand lodge az It's session there re-
solved 70 petition the supreme chancellor,
and he viii grant dispenation allowing the
grand chancellor ia his discretion 10 grant
requests for a reduction of the initiation fee.
The constitution provides that 1t shall not
fall below 50, even in case Of a dispensation,
but this limit will undoubtedly be reached,
and then a cut may be expected by rival
societies. The Knights OF Pythias are now
the third order in the world in point of nuni-
bers, the Masons coming first and the Odd
Fellows second

lieved that they win reach the latter city al
least twelve hours ahead Of the steamers

will be no inconsiderable inducement.
Aid win be asked from congress for a sub

will be built with this purpose especially in

already volunteered their aid in the plan.
Considerable work will have to be done in the

broached a scheme for a great system Of tun-

gas pipes, otc., and avoiding any difficulty
with the rivers. The main tunnel win extend
from the city hall in New York TO Fleetwood
