The following letter has been addressed
to Coroner Eaton by Health Officer Doctor
Keeney:
Allow me to inform you officially that this
office requires all death itifcaies to give The
cause OF death, that proper statistics may b. kept
as public record. All former C0r0nrrs, alter
Investigations had been held and the cause as
certained, have always notified this Office. Your
office, however, fails 10 send such information
after having been repeatedly asked to do so.
When certified copies o. deaths are given for In
surance purposes, IL seems out of place 10 have
the cause OF death unknown, especially when
coming from the C0rOner's Office. You will
oblige by complying with the request.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
Decrease in the Death Rate-AdditionaI
Insurance.

Decrease in the Death Rate-AdditionaI
Insurance.
The death rate in the Knights of Honor
decreased during 1889, it being 1916 per
thousand against 1875 in 1855.
A plan for the establishment of additional
insurance, exclusively for members of the
uniformed rank, has beenprepared by Com
mander-in-C Chief Halle, and will be submit
ted to the supreme lodge.
The membership of the knights and
Ladies of Honor is between e., 600 and 3d.
900, the sexes being about equally divided.
From the time of the institution of the
first lodge in 1877 to April l, 1890, there
has been paid out of the relief fund to bene-
ficiaries of deceased members Just =, 545,-
047.95. One assessment realizes nearly
$4,000 AS an evidence of the growth of
the order it may be stated that during the
month of February 1895 applications were
approved by the supreme medical exam
liner. During January new insurance to
the amount of S779, 500 was written, and in
February the amount was S965, 900.
At a meetingof the city council of New
Orleans, La, held May 6, it was voted to
authorize the mayor to invite the supreme
lodge Knights of Honor to meet in that
city in 1891, and to extend the hospitality
Of the city.
The Knights of Honor had 216 deaths
from Jan. Is to Feb. 10, of which 81 were
from pneumonia or acute lung disease
largely caused by la grippe. Probably
many deaths from other diseases were
caused by or fastened from the same cause.

The Msple Athletic club OF Chicago re-
Gently ELECTED the following officers: Presi-

now 40 members in good standing, and
among these are quite number of good

The Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic as

Francisco, has lately adopted rules con-
corning championship events, disqualified
ton of athletes, records, and athletes sell
ing prizes similar to the American Athletic
union. Efforts SO far to analgamate the
two bodies have been unsuccessful, but they
are working more in harmony now than
ever before.
Although the city of Pullman, Ills, is
owned by the Pullman Palace Car com
pany, and persons wishing to reside there
can only rent houses, the town boasts Of a
beautiful athletic plant on the shore of
Lake Calumet, and in proportion to the in
habitants, nearly aIlof whom are employed
in the railroad shops, there are numerous
good athletes. The athletic grounds and
boat house are within stones throw of
the hinge aggregation Of structures in the
Pullman works, and being SO accessible
stimulates athletic practice.

Another dainty gown is made Of gray

The plaid is OF sateen in green, pink and
brown. 1t is one Of the prettiest sum-
mer dresses have seen. The style is so
simple and yet so taking that it Is adapt
able to any of the summer goods. The
plaid can be replaced with all over en-
broidery or the dress itself can be of
zephyr or Scotch bingham, with plain
panels and sleeves. White null or other
thin material is very pretty made up af-

Both of these dresses are models after

Among the newest Things have seen
this year WIS young mother walking
in the street with her child. This has
been quito out Of the style for several
years. The young mother could go out
with big dog or o little one hung on
string, or she could carry cat if it so
pleased her, and / believe it would have
been regarded lenientfyif she had had
monkey perched on her shoulder ut her
child with her, neEeri Tho nurse maid
could take the children to the parks and
there martyrize them all she liked, and
fine clothes and pretty wagons werep pro
vided, but no self respecting lady OF fash
ion could take her own little child along.
But let US hope thst the fashion IN that
respect Is going to change.
The young mother IN this instance
wore princesse dress Of pearl gray silk

gray and black brocaded velvet. The
hat had brim Of gray velvet and soft
crown of the same. In front was bunch

largement and Improvement ofthe present
Masonic hall on ST Charles street
There is some talk of Mssonicstempie
at Lowell, Mass, but the prospects do not
seem TO be very fRttering.
Several unjust applications to Masonic
lodges in New York for foreigners landing
in that port have been discovered, and
all such claims are now rigidly investi-
gated by committee appointed for the
purpose.

location is one OF thebest in the city.
Prince of Wales lodge, No. $50, London,
England, celebrated lis centenary recently.
The Prince of Wales himself presided, both

les was present
The entire cost of the Buffalo Masonic
temple will be from $145, 600 to $50, 00o and
it will be ready for occupancy May l, 1891.
The Masonic temple at st. Paul has been
finished for less money than was really eX-
pected. There is a debt of sc, 600 on it; but
the resources of the association are amply
able to pay it at once if necessary.
There are eleven K. T. communicates in
Connecticut, and the whole number of can
didates receiving the K T. degree during
the year was 1873; Washington commandety,
of Hartford, heading the list with thirty
four.
The Northwestern Masonic Aid associa-
ton does not do business in Kentucky,
therefore cannot be affected by the terrible
disaster that swept over that state, and so
terribly devastated the beautiful city of
Louisville. The membership of this asso-
citation is steadily increasing.
There are IN the United States zoe, 900
master Masons, and the estimate for the
world is 100000 representing 5000 Ma
sonic lodges.

The ling Gang at Indianapolis.

Cling Gangs are very popular with the
colored people of Indianapolis. The enter
tainment is one of the most unique of the
age. Every vestige Of furniture in the
room where one is to take place is removed
before the ''zing zang' begins. Tallow
candles are then stuck in the walls and
everything is ready. \ dark skinned son
of Africa then leads the girl whom he loves
best out into the middle of the room and
the assembled guests form circle around
them. Scratch gravel" yells he. At the
same time he and his partner begin an ami
mated double shuttle, keeping time to the
patting and stamping of the hands and
feet of the crowd that surrounds them.
Oftentimes a single couple will keep this
peculiar dance up for a half hour without
once pausing during that time. In fact
they become so excited that they seldom
stop until both are wringing wet with per
SEPARATION and almost ready to fall to the
floor from sheer exhaustion. One couple
no sooner withdraws than another takes
its place, and the scene is repeated.

DIAGRAM OF THE ENCAMPMENT.
The camps are situated on an elevated
plateau fronting on wide boulevard and
commanding an excellent view of the en-
tire parade grounds and much of the city
and surrounding suburbs. An electric car
line and two horse car lines will land pas
sengers at one end OF the camp, while at
the other end will be landed all passengers
arriving by the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul railway.
The parade grounds, the major generals
headquarters, officers mess rooms, sta
bling, ETC., are all inside the Enclosure
that surrounds the Cold Spring park race
track. The grand stand is very large and
will accommodate several thousand spec
tators. The drill grounds inside the in
closure need leveling and rolling, but the
citizens committee of Milwaukee promise
to have the grounds in perfect condition
before the meeting of the supreme lodge.
