No Country Like Texas.

Amorg the visitors to the Fort Worth
packing-hous yesterday was Mr.. Theodore
L. King, gentleman from Washington. d.
c., where he has for many years held a
responsible position in the government pos
tai service. MIR. King is on tour of the
South and West for the benefit of his
health, and, incidentally has an eye to
future investments. He expressed himself
as being surprised at the magnitude of the
packing company's operations, and said he
had no idea that Texas had such an institu-
ton. The ice plant, sausage room, cooling
rooms and in fact every part of the plant
was seen and admired, and Mr.. King says
he will go back to Washington and tell them
what Fort Worth is doing. He said he
thought Texas the grandest and healthiest
state in the Union, and that he would try
and persuade his relatives in the East to
come down here and look over the country
they would surely never want to go back foI
to the East after seeing this state. His OVID
health has been much benefited since he hash
been here, and he says the East cannot hold
him any longer, and that as soon as he can
settle up his affairs in Washington he will
make his home here. He departed las&
evening for Washington. 49,

The reports OF Supreme Recorder Sackett
of the A. O. u. W. and of Supreme Re-
porter Nelson Of the K of II. show that
these two orders have paid in sums Of
5000 each 10 10000 widowed families
$50, OC0,OC0 This has been done by an an
nual contribution from tie membership in
the last 20 years Of less than so each. The
report Of Grand Secretary Ross of the Odd
Fellows shows a payment by that order
since 1880 of over S57, Loco for sick bene-
fits, relief of distressed brothers, widowed
FAMILIES and burial OF the dead. Other
orders might be cited which have also paid
cut millions of dollars, but the above will
be sufficient 20 emphasize the fact that these
trateTnal orders ere mighty factor in
avertfDg poverty and want and by prac-
teal monetary protection preventing des-
titutiOn and crime. The CALL was
the original Journal on this continent
to devote department to these great Or
ders. in the belief that by presenting to the
public meTitorious fraternities the attention
of its readers would be drawn to them and
that the mantle of protection might be
thrown around the family, so that when the
head OF the household upon whom the fam
lily depended for maintenance was stricken
by disease and death poverty and need
should not enter the dwelling,
In the early beginning OF the cooperative
frateTEltieS the TeaS0nableness OF their SyS-
TENS was presented, and the feasibility Of
paying stated sums in sickness and at death
by assessments asserted, and figures for
same given, and while this position was
assaied and denied yet the facts and figures
given could not be refuted. and here, after
many years, the result is shown by the
magnificent figures given in the reports
above alluded TO.
The average age Of the Odd Fellows and
their death rate is the same that it was so
years ago. The other orders named above
are not yet old enough to have reached
their maximum; the a. o. L. W., organized
in 1868. is the oldest, and its death rate for
1884, after % years, shows only national
death rate Of 957 per 1900, or less than l per
cent. while the DAD Fellows, at the end of
70 years, show only death rate of one and
. sixteenth per cent.
II Will thus be seen that the arguments Of
years ago, that as an order increased with
age its death rate would increase, were not
warranted by facts. but that the assertion
made in this department in days gone by,
THAT in no progressive order would the
death rate be over per cent on an aver
age, or the average age OF member go above
10 years." has been fully and positively
borne out.
