He died December 23rd, 1898. Proofs
filed January 9Th, 1894, paid January
Goth. He paid $53 on assessments, and
for all other purposes S27, or a total
expense for over II years membership
of only $50. Life insurance companies
would have charged him for death
benefits alone for the same amount and
the same length of time 1896. N4
Charles A. Fricke, aged 43, of Met
amora, Mich, was admitted Feb. 18th,
1883, and held a certificate for $1,000.
He died on the 5th day of January,
1894. Proofs were fled JAM 10Th and
paid Feb. 9Th. He paid on assessment
account S78 and for all other purposes
$500, or total, for nearly II years
membership, of only S1O6.2O. For life
benefits alone in a life insurance COM
pany he must pay on the same amount
for the same time 1914 49, -
To make it palmer, let us combine
these figures, and we have the total
cost of membership, which includes
admission fees, to these four members
of S473.95. Their benefciaries re-
ceived $4,000. Less protection in life
insurance companies would have cost
them $l,724 and their benefciaries
would have received inst the same
amount as from the Maccabees.
Here was a saving to four men of
over 81 ,250.
It is in this way that the Maccabees
have saved over 10,O00,OOO since they
began business.
It is such demonstrations as these
that have induced so many thousand
men to protect their homes in orders
like the Maccabees.
One of the most benefcient features
of the work of the Maccabees is their
care for the families Of those who be-
come totally and permanently disabled.
Here is a case in point:
August Briedenmyer, age 40, of
Moberly, Mo-, was admitted to the
Order January 26th, 1886, and held a
certificate for 81, 900.
Oct. 10th, 1888, he became totally
and permanently disabled from the eff
fects Of paralysis and a general break
ing down of the system. Fl
July 3rd, 1889, his claim for dis
ability benefits was allowed. He had
paid for all expenses connected with
his membership up to July 3rd, 1889,
including admission fee S69.25. On
that date he was paid 5000, first INSTALL
ment on disability claim. Like pay
ments were made each year thereafter
until his death, which occurred on
Jan. 18th, 1894.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1894-04-26

He had been paid on his disability
claim ST. 900, the balance of his certi-
ficate, $1,000, was paid to his widow
Jan. Both.
These annual installments of 5000
each were great help to the family
during these years and with the allow
ance of his disability claim all dues and
assessments ceased, so that they not
only received these annual payments
but were at no further expense on ac-
count of his membership.
Another humane feature in the
Maccabees is their care for the old
members, those who reach 20 years of
age. . ...-.... -. ..
In most fraternal beneficiary orders,
s'You must die to VIM In the Mac
cabees it is not So
Under the Michigan Great Camp of
the Order there are now Is, members
who are participating in the old age
benefits, as in the early days of the
Order the age limit was 60 years.
Here is the case Of Robt. McDavis. of
Oxford, Mich, who was admitted to
the Order April lst, 1882, at the age Of
SO years, and holds a certificate for
$1,000. He reached 20 years of age
April 18th, 1892, and has been paid
5000 on his claim, two years benefits.
His membership cost him only $115.6O
exclusive of his tent dues.
When his old age. benefits began all
assessments and dues ceased
An endowment insurance policy for
$1,000 on this mans life, taken at the
time he became a Maccabee, payable in
ten years, would have cost him over
ST. 200.
Masonry, Oddfellowship and Pyth-
ianism build homes to care for the old
and feeble members. The Maccabees
care for them at home without separat- !
ing family ties. I.
This is a feature that to fully UNDER
stand is to greatly value.
None are deserving of MOI 6 fraternal
sympathy than the helpless from old
age-'sThe last leaf on the tree in the
spring"
The fraternal features of the Order
are becoming Of great value now.
With its 145, 900 members, and more
than :, 1000 subordinate bodies scattered
over the country, members can hardly
go anywhere and not find sfraters.s
The officers and members are to be
congrat ulated on the prosperous con
itions prevailing in the Order every
where. Port Huron DAILY Times.

THE MACCABEES.
Attends Them Even
in Hard Times.

They are Buzzing Almost as Lively as
When the Country was Prosperous.
There is at least one enterprise in
Port Huron that does not seem to be
suffering very much from the effects
of the general stagnation in business.
We refer to that great fraternal
beneficiary society, the Maccabees, the
general offices of which are at the
Maccabee Temple in this city. T.
In an interview yesterday with
Supreme Commander Markey, of this
order, we learn that not only was 1898,
as a whole, a splendid year for the
order, the net increase in the member
ship having been nearly 100000, and
the benefits, distributed nearly $1,000,
900, but that the present year is even
more promising.
The Supreme Tent, during the first
three months of 1898, organized III
new tents, and issued $685. certificates
for new members, representing SO, 49,
900 of life and disability benefits, while
for the same months this year 1872 new
tents were organized and 1890 certif-
Gates were issued to new members,
representing the enormous sum of
Sc, 1888, 900 in life and disability benefits.
The magnitude of the figures can be
better understood when you realize
that this three months business is
greater in volume than the Michigan
business OF any four life insurance com
panies doing business in this State for
the whole year 1898, and in point Of
certificates issued is greater than that
!! Of any II of these companies.
We are glad to note that this growth
and developement of the Order is no
longer confined to any one State or
locality.
The Order has now become CONT
mental in its character, not only doing
business in all the healthy parts Of our
own country but across the line on the
North, throughout the Canadian
provinces, its greatest operations now
being through the very center of the
continent in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Califor-
MIA and the Canadas.
The Order, one year ago, had mem
bership Of 1O7, 200, now it has over 49,
