For some weeks past very little has
been said In the secrect society columns
of the Sunday papers about the doings
Of the Ancient Order of United WORK
men. There is always more or less In
activity during the summer months on
account Of the extreme not weather.,
and members are inclined TO remain out
in the open air. But now that the heat
OF the summer is at an end ard enjoy
able weather is with US once more, we
are looking forward to q very active
campaign and interest will wax warm
from this time forward.
January 1st, 1895, is the date set
apart by the Supreme Lodge Tor west
Virginia to register her nam on the
galaxy of Grand Lodges OF the Ancient
Order Of United Workmen. West Wiz
GINA is required to have 1000 members
in good standing on the date mentioned
before she will be permitted TO form her
own Beneficiary Jurisdiction, and 1t De-
hooves every member OF the order TO
buckle on his hustlisg clothes ana go
TO work for the seperate Jurlsolctlon.
There are Zoo members In the State
at the present time and but 300 yet TO
bring in. While the lumber needed
is not large, yet 1t will take a
united effort on the part OF the
membership to attain the desired
end, and If each member woul
constitute himself a committee OF
one TO get at least one member before
January first, the battle would
be won and "victory ours"
A separate jurisdiction means
much for the members in this State, (f
only from a financial standpoint.) The
number of assessments, (based on the
death rate in this State this year., will
be reduced one-half at least, and that
alone should be sufficient TO induce
members to activity, and In helping
others TO the great benefits OF the order,
they are also helping themselves. Re-
lance Lodge will open its fall cam
paign in a few weeks with a rouslng
open meeting, when the public will be
invited. Members are enjoined TO at
tend their lodge regular, as business Of
much Importance will be transacted
from now until the formation of the
Grand Lodge.
Get q move on and do something.

ROBERT j.
Mr.. Robert J. Walker Talks About the Wonder
Of the Turf.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, September Is
The phenomenal performance Of Rob-
ert j., the horse which paced q mile in
2:O215, at Indianapolis last Wednesday,
is still the talk OF horSemen everywhere.
la this city, where the little bay Won
der is well known, especial interest is
manifested in his remarkable record, as
be was bred and raised by e. }. Walker,
Of the firm Of Powers 81 Weightman,
manufacturing chemists. Mr.. Walker
talked overwhelmingly last evening
about the record-breaker when he
owned him as a colt.
Robert j." said be, twas foaled on
my stock farm At Wilhamsport, June /,
1855. l then owned both his sire, Hart
ford, and his dam, Geraldine. He was
a pure bay, without any marks what
ever. / paid no particular attention TO
him as a colt, as l had several others
about the same age. They all ran to-
gether until Robert j. vas nearly two
years old. Then he was broke TO har-
ness and driven first in the road wagon
and afterwards in the sulky. He was
not a particularly promising horse. His
performances as a colt were not remark
able In the least. OF course ne came of
good stock and was 3 valuable animal
on that account. l did not look for him
to do anything phenomenal, however,
and l must say that l am greatly sur
prised at his performance on the In
dianapolis track.

He received his preliminary training
az the hands Of j. Camp Brown, then

is one OF the best horsemen in the
country and he was quicker TO see the
colts good points than ! was. When l

Europe, Mr.. Brown wanted to buy the
colt, but l made him a present Of ii in
recognition of his good services TO me.
He then had no name, but Brown
named him Robert j., after me.
The horse was then about three
years old. Brown drove him shortly
after thai at Altoona and then at Fleet

in 9:224. The horse first showed that

race against the stallion GlendenniO

heats. Everyone thought that he was
a sure winner on the third. Robert j.,
however, slipped In and took the heat.

the race, making FIVE straight heats

fresh At the end of the fifth heat as
when be first went on the track.

the stallion died the next day, the
strain proving more than he could
stand. Robert ]. was four years old
when be accomplished this wonderful
feat. Shortly afterwards Mr.. Brown
sold him TO Mr.. Hamlin, who is still his
owner. This is but one Illustration Of
the great stamina Of the horse. He
comes OF a hardy racing stock.
