A Marked Difference.

r Thesame question has recently been under
discussion by the TWO largest cooperative as
sessment fralernites upon this continent, viz
the A. o. U. w. and The X. of ii. in their SUI
preme lodges, and one has decided precisely
opposite of the other. The question was the
advisablity and advantage, or otherwise,
OF reducing the age limit of applicants for
membership to 40 years Up to this time the
rule has been over 81 and under so. The A.
o. U. W., at its recent supreme lodge session.
voted to reduce 10 As. and the knights
of Honor supreme body held that
it was neither requisite nor beneficial so
TO do. California grand lodges have always
been opposed to the reduction on the ground
that statistics prove the older class OF men are
longer in all orders before they die than the
younger classes, and that the influence and en-
.ergy of the men OF this age especially In the
formation OF new lodges. are OF as much or
more value than those of men OF any other age.
Andthat as the average fraternal duration OF
membership OF each man admitted in any order
is less than eight years, aud the life expect
aney of a 50year-old man over twenty years,
and he much more liable to live out his ex-
pectancy than a man of a younger age, no
order can possibly be injured by their recep-
ton:

SENATOR STANFORD.
Generous Deeds Told About by His
Private Secretary.

Washington Correspondence Troy Times.
The death of Senator Stanford was a
cause of great regret to the social world.
and also to another circle of Washington
life. The entertainments at the Stanford
residence were always interesting and
elaborate, but not ostentatious They
were enjoyed by many people prominent In
social way and by others who were not
especially prominent. Yet there are still
others who enjoyed his hospitality and
kindness, of which the public and the
world knew little and sometimes nothing.
John Mccarthy, who was his Washington
private secretary during his entire SEN
atorial term, said, in talking of this: Ibis
charities were too numerous to men ton.
Many Of them got into print. but very
many more Of them did not. Information
concerning his gifts was always given out
by some one else and without his knowl-
edge. I have in the safe there stack of
bank checks six inches high. They
run in value from 500 to $4,000. all given
un0sten tatiOusly to churches, schools,
scien tific bodies and needy persons. 1t
would be impossible to even approximately
estimate the amount expended by him dur
ing The term of years in which he followed
VIC pIdCLlCc. GVCu HIS pUCkot money dc-
count was terrific to man OF moderate
means. 1t used to cost him from S65. 900 to
S75.O0O every session of Congress that he
lived in Washington. Of course these
enormous sums were not expended upon
himself; they went to helf needy people.
Senators and Representatives besieged him
by the score. They wanted donations for
churches In their districts. for societies.
for dozen different purposes. sometimes
for destitute constituents. / have never
known him TO refuse one of these requests.
He gave unhesitatingly. willingly, even
gladly. He was the object Of solicitation
by scores OF people who had n claim upon
him, did not even know him. They way
laid him upon every corner and he never
lost patience. He would help man, woman
or child.
''His heart was as big as barrel. and
his ready hand went into his pocket, 1t
seemed, instinctively. l have known. him
TO frown and shake his head and brush the
importunate aside, but only when the
man had been drinking and the Sen ator
scented the liquor. He drank himself
only teaspoonful of brandy three times n
day and mouthful or two of wine at din
ner. lie could not tolerate drunkenness.
When he first came to Washington he
would leave the house in the morning
with pockets full of $40 gold pieces. These
he dispensed here and there. He learned
later that those who begged would have
been content with $40 bills. He used these
Tor while and then fell to fves. 1t was
