increasing number of lodges in North
Dakota IL is seen that che society ID

American organization, too, being formed
in Washington, in 1864. Mr.. Dahl thinki
that ITS membership will be over 10000
before the end Of the year. There are
six lodges in the Sandwich Islands
The 18th Of February was the 18th
anniversary of the order, and with that
the use Of the newly revised ritual be-
came general. There are already more
members of the uniform rank OF the
order than there are in the standing
army Of the United States and in many Of
the military tactics the X. Ps. are super
ior to the regular army.
