FORESTERS OF AMERICA.

Court Phoenix No. will meet here after on every Tuesday night in the city hall.
 Quite a number of new members have been added lately and it is ex- pected that the interest in the order will be increased by the weekly meet ings instead of bi-monthly as hereto fore. Several members have been on the sick list during the present quar- ter and have received very careful treatment at the hands of Dr. Cottrel, the court physician.
 The medicines furnished sick mem bers by the court amount to quite a respectable sum, and effect a great saving to these who have been sick. There is no order giving greater bene- ifs for the money than the Foresters of America and it is justly popular wherever it's principles are known. From the records of the last session of the supreme council we learn that the present membership is 116,000, dis tribUted in 1900 courts During the year ending July 1, 1895, by the various courts, $46O 00O in sick benefits, SS5,- 900 in funeral benefits and more than $20, eco in death claims from the en- doWmant fund. The reports of the grand treasurers showed a total of about S79O,000 cash in the several funds of the courts
 The order gained more than 5000 members during he six months from January 1 to July 1, 1885

THE GOOD TEMPLARS.

Mrs. Lila Carlin Moore, the eloquent temperance advocate from Kentucky will finish her good work for the Good Templars early next week and go on to New Mexico She is at Stafford and Solomonville this week. Her short tour has been very successful one and from all the points visited come urgent requests for a longer stay So determined were the members at No- gales that she should remain another day that an effort was made by a few to make her la.e for the train. The lodges visited have been greatly strengthened and have received much needed instruction.
 Prof. G. w. E. Hill, who made such a successful lecture tour of Arizona last spring, is now grand counselor of the c. L. of Iowa, and actively en- gagged in the lecture field. He was so charmed with Arizona, however, that he longs to return and locate per manently with us. Every Good Tem- plar would be delighted to have him do so. MT. A. L. Cook, who accompa- nied him through Arizona, is now teaching in a college at Mt. Vernon, Iowa.
 The juvenile department of the I. 0. c. T. is one of i.s most important feat ures, but receives very little consid- eration from the average Good Tem- plar. It is much easier and better to train the young in the principles and practices of total abstinence morality and integrity than to reform the drunkard whose habits have been formed and who is a victim to appe- tite and vice.
 The juvenile lodges are justly popu- lar with the children when properly conducted and may be made very profitable to the young. Garden Val ley lodge is fortunate in having such a capable and enthusiastic superin-

The Woodmen Take Possession of Their Handsome Quarters in
 the City Hall.

IA long column of men marched down Washington street Thursday evening and as they neared the city hall both of the legislative rooms appeared ablaze with light. Ladies were thronging up the stairs to hear Mrs. Johns and as the head of the column of Woodmen came tramping in with spears of the guard in the van some shrank back in alarm while all exclaimed "Who are these?' 'We did not expect so many, there are't chairs enough" etc.
 But the Woodmen entered their own quarters in the council chamber and found it beautifully decorated with evergeens among which the olive branch (which is one ofthe emb1ems of the order) predoninated. Around the spacious hall were appropriately ar ranged the special insignia of the fra ternity, with every facility for the most elaborate work, which some ot the degrees of the order are said to re- quire.
 Universal commendation was given to the labor of the decorators and all the members felt happy in their com fortable surroundings, feeling that the Sun of Prosperity was pouring down it's inyigorating rays upon the forest and every twig and leaf thrilling with the sap of life assuring sturdy and vigorous growth and most enviab.e future for the order
 Eleven new members were elected and two candidates were given the pro lection degree by the officers in full regalia.
 On next Thursday some special feat ures of new interest are expected.

A SAD AC'CIDENT.
Miss Rachel Duffy Drowns in the St Lawrence tRiver.

Ncgales Vidette: Frank Duffy re- Iceived the sad news this morning of the drowning of his sister, Miss Rachel IA. Duffy, in the St. Lawrence river, New York state.
 She was teaching a school on an island and had, in comany with another young lady, gone across to mainland after her mail. While returning the little boat struck rock and cabs:zed, throwing both girls into the cold water. They climbed onto the rock though, where they remained til dark. Faar- ing they would freeze to death before help could reach them, Mss Duffy at tempted to swim ashore. The current was so swift that she was compelled to return to the rock several mes. It was during her fourth attempt to reach land that she went to the bottom. Her body was found further down the stream. The other young lady re- mained on the rock and was rescued about o'clock at night, nearly frozen. The Vidette joins the many friends of MT Duffy in extending sincere sym pathy. This is the second accident that has happened in Mr Duffy s family His father left home one ev5n- ing a few years ago and fell and broke his back from which he died n few hours.
 Miss Duffy would have graduated d from Potsdam state normal school o. New York next June, and it was her in- tention to visit Nogales.

CHURCH SOCIAL.

The social given last night by the Christian endeavor society of the Pres byterian church in the parlors of the house of worship was a pleasant af- fair and a financial as well as social success. The attendance was large and everybody was made to feel at home. The programme embraced singing and recitations which were well selected and we'll rendered. A supper comprising sandwiches, coffee and cakes, served by '-he young ladies was amply enough for all. The pro- ceeds of the social were for the benefit of the church.
