ana defeated the so caIed most popular
Democrat in Texas, Mr.. Findlay, that
brought him into prominence. At that era
the congressional district which he was
contesting embraced 81 900 square miles
of territory, contained twenty-seven coun-
ties, and reached from Galveston on the
Gulf TO Eagle Pass on the Rio Grande
The great fight took place at Galveston,
where Ochiltree and his adherents occupied
the armory as headquarters, and his Oppo-
nents the large fremont house. Cchiltree
kept everybody away from the speeches at
the latter place listening for hours at the
srmory 70 stories that he told on himself
stories that have gone the rounds of every
English periodical
Among others he told how, when he be-
gan to practice law with his father, he
took advantage of the old gentleman's alb

For the past five years Col. Ochiltree has
withdrawn from politics and lived at the
Hoffman house, New York city, in such re-
tirement as crowds of friends who love his
wit ana brilliant conversation will permit
He is figure of the age in which we live
that survives from an age gone forever
As such he merits exploitation before he
disappears from the stage.

He was born at Nacogdoches parish, Tex
in lS40, a stirring period that marked the

personal friend of Houston, and those men

in a fashion to suit the quieter epoch he
imagined he fo-esaw. To this end he
placed him in charge Of two Catholic
priests who have both since then won high
honors in the church.
But young Tom, while displaying a
bright intellect also showed the iveliest
signs of life. He abruptly broke off his
studies in his fifteenth year and volun-
teeced as a private in the Texas rangers,
commanded by Capt. John u Walker
against the Apache and Comanche Indians
in 1854 and '55. At the close of the cam

the Confederate army. He also received
honorable mention while acting under
special orders from Lougstreet, aud was
rewarded by colonelcy. After the cessa-
ton Of hostilities Col Ochiltree accepted
the situation in good faith and both by
word and pen exhorted his compatriots to
stop crying and find solace in work"
During President Grants first admins

NOTES AND GOSSIP FROM LODGE
ROOM AND CASTLE HALL.

Something About the Royal AdelphIa,
an Order Founded in Detroit Three
Years Ago and Now Growing Rapidly.
Three of Its Prominent Officers.
The Royal Adelphia is Detroit creation,
according TO The News of that city. but
has extended it's limits far beyond toe state
lines, in this particular exceeding the most
sanguine expectations Of its origiuators.
1t was in the fall Of 1888 that few prom
inent secret society men, who were mem
bers of nearly all the beneficial o--aniza-
tions then in existence. but could still sec
a point upon which all could be improved
the matter Of the payment Of stipulated
weekly sick benefits of magnitude sufii
cient to attract as members individuals
who are wholly dependent upon a small
weekly or monthly wage for the existence
Of themselves ard family.
On Jan. 2, 1884. the order was incorpo-
rated under the laws of Michigan governing
fraternal insurance and benefit asSocia-
tons and movement was made at once
TO extend the limits OF its usefulness. I'm
like most other fraternal societies, it pro-
vides for its members during life, as well
as providing for the beneficiarieS Of de
ceased members. The membership Is
divided into three classes. known as full
rate, two-third rate and one-third. The
chief recommendation OF the order is its
sick benefit and total disability clause. and
in this respect it has accomplished great
amount of good.

country is rapidly increasing, which Is
