BENEFICIARY SOCIETIES.
Convention of Their Representatives
to Form a Union.

The national fraternal congress con-
vened this morning at Cincinnati. 1t is
composed of representatives from the va
rious fraternal beneficiary societies in the
United States and Canada, more than
thirty in number. According to the sta
tistics of these societies they have a total
combined membership of nearly 100000
These societies or the fraternal benefc-
airy system of this country have paid out
during the last twenty-five years nearly
S12J.0O0,0O0 in life and disability benefits
to the widows. orphans and dependents of
the deceased members, and their outstand-
ing certificates held by the members ag-
gregate nearly $500, 100000.
The objects of the congress are declared
to be the uniting permanently of all le-
climate fraternll benefit societies, for the
purposes of mutual information, benefit and
protection.
The organization repUdiates the specula-
tive societies, whose chief aim is to pay
sums of money to members during life,
without regard to distress or physical disa-
billty, and the aims of such societies are
declared entirely opposed to the principles
upon which the fra ternal beneficial societies
are founded, and by virtue of which they
exist.
The congress will be in session three
dayS.

officials Of nearly every state and territory,
from railroads and from persons interested
in the general subject of good roads, ex-
pressing hearty cooperation in the work Of
the department and proffering all the aid
in their power. Valuable information has
been collected which will be disseminated
through means of a bulletin. 1t is evident
that movement has been started toward
arousing and stimulating public interest In
the subject throughout the country.
Maryland and Virginia Interested
Maryland and Virginia are taking interest
in the matter. The commissioner Of agrf-
culture of Virginia writes:
THE question of the Improvement Of the
condition Of public roads has for some time
engaged the attention of the board of agrf-
culture, and the governor has also evidenced
deep interest in the question. 1t has been
discussed at farmers institutes held all over
Virginia, and the people have been shown
the immediate benefits any community de-
rives from system of good roads. The
board of agriculture has appointed a COM
mittee on good roads to expedite matters"
Letters from many governors state that
they Will bring the question of good roads
before the legislatures and some point with
pride to efforts which have already been
made.
The railroad companies have responded
readily and many of them have expressed
their willingness to transport road material
at cost rates, and some of them have init
mated that rate lower han cost might be
arranged.
The chief engineer Of the Norfolk ana
western road says that splendid road ma
terials are available all along that line and
reductions in freight rates would be made
Tor large orders to improve the condition OF
country roads in Virginia. He says:
The Association of Engineers of Virginia
are recognizing the fact that Virginia il
very far behind in its present road laws and
methods OF improving county roads and we
hope TO secure improvements in county roads
at an early date. Certainly any act Of the
Department OF Agriculture will be of very
great benefit to the state of Virginia and I
trust that the Information may be furnished
to the Virginia legislature"

ing arrangements for the unwilling Of the
statue Of Gen. James Shields of Illinois,
which has just been erected in statuary
hall at the Capitol. Gov. Thomas c.

and Capt Patrick OFarreli of this city,
secretary. The statue will be unveiled in

The committee will hold a meeting at
Wizards this evening. and will then COM
plete the arrangements.
The statue was finally placed in position
on Saturday, about ten feet from that OF
Lincoln, with whom Shields once came
near to fighting duel. The conditions i'm
posed by Lincoln, who was the challenged
party, were such as to cause Shields
friends to interfere and the duel was de-
clared OF. The young lawyer, who after
ward became President insisted upon
fighting with cavalry sabers standing ON
each side of plank ten feet long and a
foot broad. Gen. Shields at different times
represented three states in the Senate-Il-
linois, Minnesota and Missouri. He served
in the Mexican war and at the battle of
Chepultepcc was shot through the lungs.
The statue is of bronze and was designed
by Sculptor Leonard W. Nolk. 1t rests
upon a stone pedestal on which these words
are carved: Warrior, Jurist and States-
man."
