THE great to pic of discussion in rail-
road circles recently was the railway
races from London to Aberdeen by the
east and west routes The west coast
companies took the initiative and did
the distance, $40 miles, at the rate of a
mile minute throughout. These
companies thus made new worlds
record, while completely smashing the
record held for the past three years by
the Empire state express from New
York to Buffalo. The east route COM

finally the west coast did $40 miles in
sig minutes, or a mile in 5G4 Sec

indicate the good things to be

Military Branch of the Order

Military Branch of the Order
should be called "Divisions,' or
"Companies'' there seems to have
been very little justification for the
few favoring the use of the word
company" Supreme Chancellor
Ritchie has promptly and very
emphatieally ruled that the name
of the bodies of the Uniform Rank
is "Division."
While but a few years ago hard
ly single member of Congress be-
longed to the Order of knights OF
Pythias, yet at the present time
nearly fifteen per cent OF the
House of Congress are members of
the Order, and many of them are
men who are quite distinguished
and prominent in their respective
states.
No department of Pythian
Knighthood has grown more rapid
ly in favor with the thinking mem
bers of the Order than the Endow-
ment Rank, which is now paying
out to the widows and orphans of
deceased members of the Order a
sum equal to $1,000, 900 per an
mum, and insurance through its
means is thereby secured by the
membership at a cost less than
half that charged by old line com
panies.
The good that this department.
of the Order is doing is incalcua-
BILE, and when one remembers from
what little beginnings it has
gradually gained its way, they
must naturally be surprised when
they find that since it has been

Abraham Lincoln. The illustrated

trait of Lincoln, which forms the

interest than any portrait of Lin
coin ever before published. Ii

young, and was taken at least fif.
teen years earlier than any other
known portrait.
