knights and Ladies' of Honor.
The financial secretary, treasurer and
Auditing Committee was the subject OF
an instructive article in the InteIligencer.
It told them how to keep and examine
the accounts in a simple manner and
avoid mistakes.
The order contributed about $1,000 for
the relief of those injured by the cyclone.
The order has over 5000 members IN
this State.
There was only one appeal last year
from the decision of q subordinate lodge.
The lodge erred. but the disappointed

peal, joined another council.

Cadets of temperance.
There are several good reasons why the
Cadets of New Jersey should form a
Grand Section Of their own:--
LIST. Because it will be of great benefit
to the order in this State. Proof of this

half years ago, and has now over six hun
dred members. The majority of them
were secured through the efforts OF the
Grand Section.
I'd. Because the Grand Section of the
State of New York has no legal jurisdic-
ton over the subordinate sections in New
Jersey, as their charter distinctly pro-
hibits them from organizing or control
ling sections outside of their own State.
Sd. Because it is the desire of the Most
Worthy Patron of North America, the
Grand Patron of the State of New York
and such members as Brothers Glider
sleeve, Thompson, Viewers and other
equally prominent Cadets that we should
have a Grand Section.
4th. Because it will stimulate and
arouse interest among the members n
them to work with zeal that
they may secure some of the many hOn0rs
that a Grand Section bestows.
Many members seem to think tina t
there is q great expense attached to start :
ing O grand section. This is not so. The
propagation committee of the National
Section has 100 Grand Section outfits
which they will furnish free of charge to
new Grand Sections Upon application.
The running expenses are very small and
will probably be met by the profit on the
per capita tax which you will then pay to
yourselves instead of to the Grand Sec
ton of New York. And ever If there is
some expense. is not the benefit greater?
Every member should take hold and push
this matter SO that the Grand Section
may be organized before the National
Section meets, Inc be able to enter there
and proudly hold up our heads and say

Jersey"

One of Brother Augustine's pet ideas is
a Grand Section in New Jersey. He re-
marked that he would like to institute
the Grand Section in New Jersey during
the month of August, on the day before
the cadets excursion, n he with the
other national officers would stay over
and attend the excursion. 1t is to be

made.

Eureka Section held quite an interest
ing meeting on Wednesday evening in
Fisk Hall. A number of visitors from
efher sections were present. Brother
John Dingwall, M. w. G., addressed the
section on the subject of a Grand Section
in New Jersey. He called attention to
the fact that the Cadets had been organ
lied in Jersey City over five years and
had been paying allegiance and royalty
to the Grand Section of another State,
when the government of the subordinate
sections should be in the hands OF New
Jersey delegates. Brother Dingwall,
acting under instructions from the VI. w.
r., urged the members of Eureka Sec
ton to proceed at once to the formation
of a Grand Section. After considerable
discussion delegates were elected, APP
pointed with power to confer with the
other sections. Among those who fa-
vored with solos were Misses Ida and
Florence Harriott and Laura Higgins.
Recitations were given by Misses Lizzie
