SON IN axes an excellent marshal. Th
Royal Ark paid off l40 certi flea ties &
members Of Noah Lodge, No. Is, of Cam
bridgeport. Mass, last Thursday. New
Jersey has lodges in every section of tn
State. and a m embership of over on
Thousand. Two thousand dollars will b.
paid to members Of Newark Lodge, No
80, at Newark this month. The order is
growing very fast
ROYAL ARCANUM.
An ate mpt will be made at the next
session of the Grand Council to have {
State Deput appointed to thoroughly
canvass the State and institute Councils
in localities where none exist at present.
This subject has been under discussion
for some tim Q and will be brought before
The nleetin G for action. The grand
officers, und er the present condition of
affairs, are kept very busy, and are in
creasing the membership at very rapid
rate, but there are several large counties
IN the souther part of the State that
have no Coun ellis whatever, and IL good
man can be found for the position and have
him give his entire time to the work. he
should Mt the least Institute fifteen Couu-
ellis in the next year The various Coun-
ellis should take this important matter
into consideration and instruct their
representatives 10 vote in favor of the
measure when it comes up for action, as
1t undoubtedly will. at the next session.
Up TO the present time there is no oppo-
sition for the Grand Regency for next
term, and Grand Vice Regent Mcdowell
will probably be elected unanimously.
Brother Mcdowell will have to bestir him
self to excel the records Of his predeces-
sors, but with good corps of officers and
a State deputy to assist him he should
have an exceedingly successful regime.
The talk OF the contingent from South
Jersey putting in claim for grand vice.
regent has not been verified, and at all
events Brother Green would not run in
opposition to Grand Orator Peter, for
they are close friends. There seems to be
no anxious candidates for the positions of
grand orator and grand chaplain, although
Regent Baxter has been mentioned for
the orators position, but 1t is doubtful IL
he would accept. Grand Secretary Alder is
and Grand Treasurer West cannot be
beaten, and they will hold over. The
other officers are appoi ntive ones, and of
course nothing can be said in regard to
them.
J Where, oh where, Is that dinner for SIX
that Supreme Trustee Charlock lost in a
wager with Grand Chaplain Drummond?
Although Nixon claims that Baxter is a
light feeder, he could do himself Justice
on an occasion like that.
Despite the Indictment weather, there
was an excellent attendance at the meet
ing of Jersey City Council No. SO last
Tuesday evening, the members being
brought out by the announcement in The
SUNDAY MORNING NEWS that there would

gree arranged by Orator Williamson.
Everything worked very smoothly and

will no doubt create considerable enthus-
iasm. Three candidates were admitted,
