KNIGHTS OF THE MACcABEEs
Something About the Origin and Progress
of the Order.

Something About the Origin and Progress
of the Order.
Port Huron is the headquarters of the
order of the Knights of the Msccabees, a
frate-nal beneficiary organization which
has become remarkably successful and pop
ular not only in the state but wherever it
has become known. The people of Port
Huron naturally feel quite proud of the
institution, as nearly every able bodied,
physically qualified male citizen in the
city belongs to it. The 1,100 and over
members in Port Huron and Fort Gratiot
adjoining certainly show their confidence
in the organization BY taking and holding
a membership init Nearly three thousand
persons in the county of St Clair are en-
rolled as members of this order
In 1881 the knights of the Maccabees
was organized and Incorporated under a
special act of the legislature OF the state of
Michigan. On Dec. 81 following the an
nual report of the society showed just 700
members in good standing The report
ending March ST. 1890, shows nearly Is, 900
in the state of Michigan alone, remark
ably rapid growth. The society has paid
out in Michigan alone $3.50, 900 in death
benefits to the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members. The average cost per
$1,000 death benefit has been, during the
eight and q half years OF its existence, less
than = on assessment account. What the
Maccabees particularly pride themselves
upon is thai they have been able to ray all
death and disability claims within ten
days after proofs of death of the member
have been filed.
In 1888 the supreme tent was reorganized
under the laws of Michigan, and com
menced spreading the membership out
side of the state. 1t has made wonderful
progress, showing now membership in
other states outside of Michigan of over
1900, notably in New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
in the province of Ontario, Can, which
together with the membership in the
Michigan state jurisdiction makes grand
total of over 81, 600 members, the work OF
less than nine years. The supreme de-
partment has pid 10 the benefciaries OF
its deceased me mbers over 500, 900, which
with the amount paid out in Michigan
$3.50, 900 makes grand total of over three
quarters of q million dollars.-Bee Hiva

She Mnnte.l a Check for H..

A Kansas woman with a business like
department and Z vigorously kicking infant
in her arms stepped up TO Frank Cramer's
stand in the Union depot and said:
CHECK, pleaser'
"What for?" inquired Cramer, seeing
nothing besides the child.
That's what" said the woman, plump
ing her baby down on the shelf in front of
the open wickerwork. 'T'n call for it
about noon. Gimme the check; III call for
it soon and Pm in a hurry just now"
ooh, non' said the check stand agent,
looking wise, Il guess not. That's an old
racket in new guise. I'm looking for no
chance to adopt a kid just now" And
then Cramer looked wiser than ever for a
few moments and until the woman
thumped his desk with her fist and ex-
claimed;
Pm going to check this baby or have
trouble. It's none OF your business whether
it's baby or a valise" Then she laid the
baby on the shelf, srnOte at Cramer twice
and frantically clutched at his hair. She
would not be claimed until Depot Master
Foote explained that the place to keep
checked babies was then out Of repairs, and
that a two story cage expressly intended
for that purpose was being built.-Kansas

The present club house stands facing ths
harbor and Long Islznd sound, end IS open
all winter, for, as it is Dear New York, the
members can take fr>Ety outing and sit
before blazing fire IN winter whenever
they get tired Of the city.
But the most curious thing about the
club is the way it was started w S. Al
ley, one of the ez-c0mmodores, WHO lived
at Larchmont Manor In the sunr1er of
1880, rowed out one Sunday morning SO his
yacht to fix things up little, and while so
engaged was lectured from tie shore by an
old lady who, together with a small body
of church goers, worshiped IN q small
building down on the waters edge.
This nettled Alley, and he proposed That
an organization should be formed then and
there, and if the members wanted TO take
look over their boats Sunday morning
their combined forces would be sufficient
to resist the ardor of an old lady All the
land about Larchmont Manor, including
the little building used for religious ser
vices, was straightway bought up, and thus
the Larchmont Yacht club was born.

Soda Water as a Beverages.

FOR beverages, instead of the cheap soda
water. with its corrosive ingredients and
sirups made from spoiled fruit, insist on
having pure lemonade or fruit juices. Good
soda water, as offered by the best city
druggists or any man who understands his
business, is not a bad thing for health or
taste, although caution ought TO be used
not to pour down large glass of iced
drink when one is warm, after the almost
invariable habit. The rule with every
body, men and women alike, seems to be
to see how soon they can swallow the soda
and depart. The result Of turning pint
Of cold, acid water into heated stomach
is 10 burden it with too much liquid, re-
duce the temperature with dangerous sud-
denness, and headache or cramps is in the
direct line after this.-Shirley Dsre in New
York Herald.

THE OARSMEN.

The cablegram from Sydney, N. s. W.,
reading that a sculling match has been ar
ranged between Peter Kemp, the Austria
Ian, and William O'Connor, of Canada,
impresses aquatic circles that O'Connor
has at last carried his point in rowing
some one there, even though it has taken
him nearly two months 20 do it. The actions
Of the Australian oarsmen have looked as
though they did not wish to run the risk
of having the championship leave that
country.
In the opinion of Edward Hanlan, the
coming champion oarsman is Mclean, the
Australian, who measures forty-four
inches around the chest, and, as HanIan
says, is one of the most powerful scullers
that ever sat in q boat.

Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant

Long Island sound widens out from Man
