THE SECRET SOCIETIES.
GOLDEN EAGLE NEWS.

The first question that suggests itself IN
writing Golden Eagle news is: What has
the castle of this city been doing the past
week for the benefit of the order! II de-
gree work has been conferred, 1t has GER
tainly not reached the writer for publlca-
ton. Our future destiny depends largely
upon active workers. and the energy that
members possess in destining our way
through the world as benevolent order.
There is no complaint TO be made for the
past zeal that members have shown Tor our
welfare. and continuance OF this
kind of labor is very desirable. we
have an excellent field, and ii is to be hoped
that it will not be left unharvested. New
and awakening interest must be created
and fostered by persistent effort upon the
part of those who have this benevolent
order at heart The aims and objects of
the Golden Eagles is not mere guess work,
but are actual facts, based upon solid
monument OF truth that teaches the heart
to expand with lasting dignity and en-
obles man for u bright future, and elevates
mankind and places them upon high
sphere. Members first duty TO the order is
attendance they owe TO their castle.
Some think that if they meet
the financial requirements, that is all that
is left for them to do. Such is not the case;
meet with your lodge every week or as
often as is possible to do. Help in con-
structing laws and see that they are car
ried into effect. Visit the sick and needy,
ever remembering that we are mighty
benevolent order Assist in adding new
members to the fold, and finally leave
nothing undone that will promote the
growth of the Order
Wheeling City Castle, No. >, conferred
the third degree last Tuesday evening upon
one candidate. The officers of the Castle
have the Rituals committed to memory,
making the work smooth and impressive.
Bro. Dan j. Toomy deserves special men
ton for the manner in which he recites his
character. The effect upon a candidate is
apparent. The Castle is prospecting be-
yond the most sanguine expectation.

nEER ON THE SLOT PLAN.
r.. VI. Statler's scheme to Increase the
Profits of the Fluid.

Although the boys about town may not
be generally aware of the fact, there has
been something more than cues, tables and
billiard balls occupying the thoughts OF +.
NJ. Statler of late He has built several
gross of air castles in the past few months,
and even the speculative Col. Sellers, with
all his "millions in it, Is not IN II on the
Statler scheme at all Although one ortwo
of Mr. Statler's bosom friends have had an
intimation that he has invented something,
the product of this Capitalization of ideas
has never been clearly described in the
papers. II is what is known as a bottle
vending machine, and anyone who has seen
the model in successful operation will
cease to wonder why the inventor occa-
sioually sees prophetic handwriting on the
moon. The machine is designed 10 handi-
cap the promiscuous stealing by servants
and other employees, of bottles of beer in
public places where il is used in large
quantities. You drop a quarter in the
Slot. turn a crank and the machine does
the rest. Ii is very ingenious contriv-
auce. and one of which any inventor need
well be proud. The apparatus has much
the exterior appearance of refrigerator.
The upper compartments alone are used
for refrigerator purposes. In the lower
and much the larger compartment is an
endless elliptical pair of tracks. the same
being parallel 10 each other. Mounted up
on the tracks and completely encircling the
same is an endless carrier, filled with STRIPS
SO as to conveniently hold a bottle of beer.
These bottles horizontally placed, extend
all around the carrier, being adapted for
several dozen bottles. BY dropping a
quarter in the slot in the front
Of the apparatus when closed. the han
die is unlocked, and by giving the same
one revolution a bottle of beer is brought
around on the carrier TO a place opposite
large hole near the centre of the refrigera-
tor, where by very ingenious piece of
mechanism. it is forced out far enough to
be drawn out conveniently. This opera
ton can be repeated until all the bottles on
the carrier are exhausted, and every time
bottle is taken out, another section Of the
apparatus registers accurately the number

NATIONAL UNION.

There are now three Councils of this or
der in Wheeling, viz: Fit Henry No. %,
Philo No. IS, and Garden Spot No. 239.
The membership is composed of some of
the leading citizens of the city, and there is
no reason why it should not be doubled
during the winter months. Philo Council
initiated one member at its last meeting,
and there will be several applications for
membership presented at the meeting to-
morrow night at Walther's Hall. The en-
tire membership ought to be there.
Why have there not been some
fraternal visits between the members
of the different Councils. There
are nearly 5000 members of the order in
Chicago alone, and by the time the Worlds
Fair comes off they expect to make it TO-

Have you ever read anything about the
curious way in which Jennie Flood used
to enjoy her wealth. In 1859 il was
said that Miss Flood had more money
than any other single woman west Of
the Mississippi But the great brown
stone palace on Mob Iiill was apparently "a
source Of no enjoyment to her. With her
mother Miss Flood was content Ia use only
one Of the spacious tapestry hung and
highly ornamcnted rooms. The paintings,
statues and chandeliers remained gloomily
wrapped in dust cloths, and but one Of the
many servants employed before Mr. Floods
death was retained. At the splendid Meulo
park villa the same state Of affairs pre-
vailed.
Probably no family who had suddenly
acquired wealth in California was ever
more severely criticised than were the
Flo0ls and of course Miss Jennie came in
for r share of this adverse tattle. But
here Jrcme devotion To her parcuts showed
that ne was "A good deal more worthy than
