RIVAL FORESTER FACTIONS.
Two Different Organizations on the Loc
out for Members.


out for Members.
Two rival factions of Foresters in this
State are out for members and warning the
public to look out for the other. Both titles
are the same, "a. o. F." and this leads to
confusion on the part of the uninitiatcd, and
has caused the original body. known as the
Ancient Order of ForeSters," to publish
the American Order of Foresters" and
warn the public TO look outfor them.
The Ancients explain that the so-caled
American Order is a branch that was sus-
pended from the main body about three
years ago for refusing to live up TO the prin-
cipleS Of the organization. One OF these
provisions is that neither creed, color nor
politics shall debar man from membership.
The American Order refused to admit the
colored man, for whom they fought. bled
and died, aud for this they were cut off from
the main body.
But they refused to 60 out of business
and are using the same ritual on the ground
that IL is new organization called the
Ancient Order OF American FOresters. The
original anclents cannot see how the OppO-
sitlOn can consistently call itself ancient"
when the branch is but three years old.
They claim that the new order goes to
country towns and by certain representa-
tiOns induce members TO join under the
belief that they are being taken into the
ancient order.
Tie ancients are also working the
provinces and taking in the best men of the
towns. When the Americans come along
later il is asserted that they Initiate the
scum refused by the real ancients. Many
Of those who Joined the Americans have
since renounced .heir vows and gone over
TO the ancents. Thus is competition rife In
the great struggle for members.

A State Lazaretto.

On Monday evening there was held in
the Grand Hotel a meeting of the commit
tee appointed by Mayor Sanderson for the
purpose of drafting bill having for its OBJ
Ject the establishment of a State lazaretto.
1t was suggested that the bill shou d pro-
vide place for tho care of lepers only.
Then it was suggested that there should be
connected with it a place for the care of
consumptiye patients, ON the ground that
consumption is disease that can be trans
mitted as readily as lepTOsY. A lengthy
discussion followed this proposition, and
finally i. was decided that snch was not de-
sirabe. No action in relation TO the pro-
posed bill was taken, but it was the sense
OF the majority of those present that the
Legislature should not be asked to set
apart any considerable sum for the nnrpnse
