Installation.

A public installation of the officers
of the Knights of the Golden Eagle
of Harmony Castle, was he Id In the
town hall on Friday evening last.
Grand officers from Baltimore were
present who conducted the ceremony.
The pageant was quite imposing and
possibly impressive in some of it's
parts. 1t was mostly military in
form, and tinsel and swords formed
the spectacular of the ceremony.
The Knights of the Golden Eagle
is fraternal society, one Of the
numerous brotherhoods of the times
that propose to insure its members
against pressing want which sickness
or sudden death may precipitate
upon them or their families. But
why tue military imitation !? Why
especially those swords ? The sword
10 emblamatic of cutting tbroats. 1t
never was applied to anything else.
1t is contemporary with man and
always and ever a throat cutter.
That and that alone. One Of the
visiting brothers referred to the mil
itary eclat in speaking, in an apollo
getic way, by saying it was to please
the young fellows, to captivate their
fancy by the glitter and tinsel and
thus secure them as members. And
we suspect this is about the whole
truth too.
But nevertheless, we submit that
symbol of throat cutting is not the
symbol which fraternal band should
choose 1t does not teach fraternal
lessons but points toward blood shed
and strife Such emblems do not
carry in them peace on earth. good
will to men. AS We would that men
should DO unto you do ye even 80 to
them. Be sure you love one another.
Love thy neighbor az thy self. And
score of similar precepts are scat.
tered through the New Testament.
and among them all the sword no
where appears: The point we pro.
pose to emphasize is that these
brotberhoods which all claim to take
the New Testament for their guide,
have made great mistake in giving
the emblems of strife and murder
any place in their ceremonies. All
such spectacular show teaches away
from the fundamental principles of
the brotherhood.
The church in it's innumerable de.
scisms aud sects, has
almost ignored the fraternal spirit
and confined itself to the super
natural; hence the scisms, splits, |
chickering's, strife and uncharltable. |
ness which steadily tears it in pieces
and divides it against itself. And
thus will it ever be while present
conditions prevail.
The early christians were simple |
brotherhood, drawn together by |
fraternal ties and they remained so |
till Constantine that pagan emperor
butcher gave out that be saw a cross
in the heavens, pretended forthwith |
he was suddenly converted, had a
white cross painted on the shields OF
his soldiers, discarded the worship |
of the sun, which system was grow.
ing out of fashion, and forthwith |
proceeded to make the new religion
The religion of the State. The fact
that the old rascal kept right on with
conques:s. cruelty and murder, is
proof that he lied about seeing a
sign of the cross in the sky, and that
be was acting the hypocrite for q
purpose. Since that time fraternity
has not been at premium among
church denominations.

Tuberculous Cows, or Consumptive

Last week the Farmers Institute
of New Castle county held a meeting
at Newark, Del, and consumption in
milk cows was the chief subject OF
discussion. DR.. H. P. Ewes, DR..
Mackey of Fair Hill and Dr.. lamar
OF Elkton took leading part at the
meeting.
Two tuberculous cows were killed
and an standardization of them
made by DR.. Mackey aud Dr. lamar.
1t was found that the lungs Of one
of the cows which had been affected
with cough were badly diseased.
there being large lunches Of tuber-
cules clinging on all sides. while
others had fastened themselves to
the ribs and hung like lunches of
grapes. These lunches are composed
of cells in which there are millions
of baccali.
The lungs of the second COW were
found to be perfectly healthy, hut an
examination of her intestines,
stomach and udder, showed great
masses of tubercules. This was
taken as evidence that she had con-
tracted the disease by swallowing
the baccali while feeding, while it
was equally evident in the case of
the other COW, that the disease had
been caused by inhaling them. The
meat did not look bad, with the ex-
ception of the fat being very yellow.
and much worse meat is sold in
market every week.
There was a large lump ON the
right hind leg Of the second COW,
which looked like a wind gall but
upon being cut out was found to be
a mass of tubercules. The examina.
ton of this animal disclosed the
fact that tuberculosis can
and does exist in other organs than
the lungs, and that any part of the
animal is liable to be attacked by the
disease. 1t also showed that the
disease can be communicated to
healthy animals by their feeding on
the same pasture or in the same
stable where there had been cows
that were infected.
Dr.. Ewes said that many COWS in
that section were affected with the
disease, that it was incurable, very
and that all cattle found
to be affected should be killed
Hundreds Of children are annually
sacrificed by being fed on the milk of
consumptiye COWS.
DR.. Mackey said that he had al
ways thought that tuberculosis ex-
listed in other organs besides the
lungs. The doctor said that be had
known Of calves dying with menin
gifts from sucking infected COWS
He had found an average of per
cent. of infected cows, in herds
which be had inspected. He favored
Legislation to stamp out the disease.
Dr.. John Fl. lamar said that Mary.
land had u general law authorizing
the State veterinarian to order the |
killing of COW affected with a con,
tagious disease and the State pro-
vides way to pay for it. He cited
one case where eight horses belong
ing to one man had been ordered !
killed. When tuberculosis is found |
to exist in q community, milk is a
ready servant to communicate that
disease to the human family.

&C. p. Hicks, formerly OF Sugar Greek,

he adopted after their mother deserted

in his room in the third story over Row
lands shoe store and had thu roof OF the

good health and progressed gradually to
wards cathood until about two weeks
ago, when one night 81 Mr.. Hicks was

OF his wards had become very much ex-
cited. IL looked around wildly for a
moment and then ran across the room
three or four times like a race horse,
winding up by boiling against thu wall
and falling il seemed in dying conc'-
