Hhe roll Of the Association contains the
! names of a number of the best citizens Ia
Union Hill, and the prospects are bright
for the new lodge becoming one of the
largestin the State. 1t will probably be
called Palisade Lodge. at the next
meeting Of the Association there will be

Palestine Division, No. /, u. r.. held
| its regular and big meeting on Monday
| evening. A number of propositions tor
membership was received from promi :
nent members of the order in this city.
| Arrangements were made for the enter
| tainment of the divisions from Bridge
port, Conn, on the 30rh. Recruiting IS
| lively In the divisions, and at its parade
this fail ls proposes to parade the largest
| division in The regiment. The division
will assemble for drill In fatigue uniform
| tomorrow evening. 1t is proposed to
| form u squad of IT'S new members, aud
place them in charge of one Of the lieu
tenants for instruction. The idea is a
/ correct one, and should BY all means 60
! into effect at once.
There are thirteen divisions of the Tint
| form Rank in this State aud cue more is
! required to form q brigade of two reQi-
nlents. We trust that we will hear of the
| formation Of q new division in the very
near future.
Tee members Of Lincoln Assembly No
! z, Pythian Sisterhood, have formed an
association and are giving a series OF
.'Katfee Klatches. They meet at the
residence of one of the members one
| afternoon In each week. They were the
| guests Of Mrs. a. A. Newman recently
and viii hold their next sKaffee" socIable
at the residence of Mrs Felix Brown on
Payonia avenue. The idea is an excellent
one, as it affords the members good op-
1 portunity to know each other better.
On Thursday evening Fabeola Lodge
! celebrated its anniversary in its castle
| hall at Paterson. There was a large
gathering Of prominent knights of the
State Grand Chancellor John Ulrich
delivered the address of the evening and
was followed by O. z. Hayhorns, G. NJ.
| of e. Wilson, q. /. G. Donald. G. @. G..
| Hitchcock and others. A handsome gold
| past Grand ChaDcellor's badge was pre-
scented TO P. G. c. Dewitt G. Bolton
! lIOIil6Ib htuts LEE. OOlOuO0. McDDu3iu
| and CoghiIl OF Jersey City Lodge gave
several solos and duets In their usual
| artistic manner. Brother Mcdonald en-
iiyened the assembly with his comicaI
| sketches and Prof. Coghiil presided at
the piano. Many visitors from Jersey
were present.
| A lodge in Baltimore provides by its
bylaws that it shall be the duty of every
| member. at least once in each quarter, TO
| visit the lodge and pay his dues in per-
| son, unless sick, absent from the city, or
| prevented by circumstances over which
he has no control. and the secretary shall
not receive any money on account of dues
! from any one except in the lodge room
and after the lodge has been called to
order. 1t would be well if some of our
lodges here would adopt a similar rule,
that the members might become ac-
quainted with each other, ana the lodges
would certainly be benefited.
From all indications the increase in the
order for the past six months of the
! present term will be close to the two
hundred mark in District No. 9. This
| county last term showed an increase OF
| about one-seventh Of the total number in
i the State this year and are in position
to say that they will do even better.
Every lodge should have copy of the
Pythian digest in It's possession. If they
did they would find it more convenient to
look up the laws of the order and avoid
| corresponding with the Grand Chancellor
on questions that they could decide them
| selves.
Grand Chancellor John Uirich and
| Colonel e. V. n. Wilson paid a hort
visit TO this city on Thursday.
1t is very evident TO all members Of the
order that they have SOME active aud
earnest Grand Lodge officers this term
They are seen frequently on their round:
of the lodges and are striving to make the
order second to none in the State
A new lodge was instituted at Dover on
on the 18th inst BY G. c. John Ulrich, ane
others will soon be instituted in Rose
\ mount, Camden, Roselle, Jersey City anC
Union Hill. EngIewood will also be IN thl
field in short time, thanks to the efforts
of the grand officers.
The proceedings of the last Grand Lodge
sessions will be ready for distribution II
| few days. and will no doubt be very in
teresting to the members of the order il
this county who were unable to attend This
session.
The amendments to the constitution
offered at the last session of the GranC
| Lodge by P. G. G. George H. Kidder are
| excellent, and win benefit the order. Thel
will come before the next Grand Lodge
\ for adoption. and should become a law as
! soon as possible.
Grand chancellor John Ulrich is prov
| ing himself to be one OF the most faithful
| ana earnest NOfkeTs IOf Lne interest OF
| the order that this state has ever pro
| duced. He is paving visits TO every lodge
In the state, and giving them such assist
ance as they may require. His term pro-
! misses to show large increase over the
preceding year in membership through
out the state. and the lodges, as a rule,
to be more active.
Two new lodges will be instituted il
Jersey City during the coming mon tn
Both will be attached to District No. 9.
1t is conceded that the order Is a very
patriotic one, If judged by the names of
the lodges they have--Idacolu, Grant,
| Hancock, Garfield sud Sherman.
Rathbone Lodge is in luck With their
able speakers and dehaters their meetings
are always interesting
The two Pattersons of Rathbone ara
among the best orators of the order.
George, you should attend your lodge d
little more.

tain his many friends Of Jersey City
