inaugurated on the evening OF the 4tn

was held in the auditorium of the Odd
Fellows temple, which made mag
nificent setting for the quaint rites OF
the custom. which for centuries has
been observed and is still celebrated IN
Germany a few days before the we'd

a last merry-making before entering
into a new and more serious period OF
life, and it. is customary for the
friends and relatives of the young PEG"

them and all of which has some bear

The order of the Maccabees is max
ing a wonderful growth throughout the
United States and Canada, and this
growth is now being felt in the Rocky
mountain states where the order has
now been earnestly at work to give
itself firm standing. AS the result OF
untiring work on the part of the DEF
uty supreme commander for this sec
ton, Sir knight Wright, of this city,
the order is going forward very rap
idly, and is now so strong that the
separate tents in the several states and
territories in the Rocky mountain re-
gion are weekly adding to the member
ship a number which, together with
the charter membership, will soon
make it one of the leading orders in
this portion of the Union in point OF
members Sir knight Wright has just
returned from a months work in Wyo-
ming, Niiere he instituted a fine tent
at Rock Springs, and one at Green
River. These tents include some of the
best people of those towns, and are
sure to grow very rapidly. Deputy j.
D. James reports a tent at Billings,
Mont, and Deputy e. w. Sanders re-
ports one at Denver, Idaho.
The tents at Salt Lake and Ogden
are reported in a most fourishing con-
dition, and Park City is actively at
work increasing the membership of the
tent at that point.
Deputy P. A Simpkins of New Mex
leo, reports that state falling into line
and soon the Maccabees will have
connected line of tents reaching along
the line of the Rocky mountains from
the British possessions on the north to
Mexico on the south, and that will I'LL
in the link from the east to the west
so that the white, Maccabee tents will
cover the continent from ocean to
ocean and through the entire breadth
of the Union.

No fear is entertained by the Santa

bondholders of the st. Louis d San

stated that nothing can prevent the

sale, however is to be made subject
to the liability of the road for all
pending suits which may be decided
against it hereafter. The petitions will
probably be referred to the master to
take testimony.

This order holds its own in the field.
The lodges are all working and taking
in new members right along. The
usual meetings were held last week and
good work done.
The Rocky Mountain Workman for
the current month is to hand and up
to the usual stand of this excellent
fraternal paper. Editorially it has the
following:

other causes initiating against effec-
tive missionary work, the Workman

the verge of a revival such as will be

dictions of the ''effete east

ton has so much interest in the A. o.

recognize the necessity of protection,
than at the present time.
While it is unfortunate that the pre-
vailing condition in Wyoming will not
warrant the continuance of Grand
Lecturer Mast in the field in that stats
at the present time, we are convinced
that the recurrence of the better times
which are now almost knocking at our
doors, will witness large increase in
the membership of the order in the
eastern portion of our trinity.
Grand Lecturer Barton, however, re-
ports increased activity and enthusiasm
throughout the territory in which he
is now laboring, and the indications
are that from now on we will continue
to reap the substantial fruits of his
lafbors
In this connection we wish to say
right here that all the work should not
be left to the grand lecturer. Every
member in every lodge in the territory
now being worked by that officer
should be UP and doing. Talk A. o.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec. s.
A concession from the Chinese gov
eminent to build line of railway from
tidewater to Picking has been obtained
by a syndicate of American capital
lists. The road will be about 20O miles
long and will tap a valuable coai mil
ing district. The operation and con-
struction of the line will ostensibly be
under the direct patronage of the Chi
nese government, but American capl-
tai and engineers are the principal fac
tors in the scheme.

A DREARY WASTE.
A Not Very Encouraging Outlook for
This Week.

This Week.
WASHINGTON, Dec S.-The house
programme this week is a dreary
waste. Until the committees are ap-
pointed the machinery of the house is
blocked and nothing can be done save
by unanimous consent. Any resolution
that might be presented-and it is in
this form that the sensations that agi-
tate the lower branch of congress are
usually sprung-would go down before
a single objection. For this reason no
attempt may be made to do anything
until Speaker Reed announces his com
mittees, which he now expects to have
ready at the end of the week There

sions this week. When the house meets

as yet are those of contingent expenses,

There are some committees on which
memberships are as much fought after
as are the chairnanships of others.
These are appropriations, Judiciary

Probabilities.
While nothing has been agreed upon
Finally, it looks now as if the chair
manship of the more important COM
mittees would be assigned as follows:
Agriculture, Proctor; appropriations,
Allison; coast defense, Squire; census.
Chandler; commerce, Frye; DISTRICT OF
Columbia, Mcmillan; finance, Morrill,;
fisheries. Perkins; foreign relations,
sherman; immigration, Lodge; Indian
affairs. Pettigrew; interstate commerce.
Cullom; judiciary, Hoar; military af-
fairs, Hawley; naval affairs, Cameron
RostOfflce and post roads, Wolcott;
fprinting, Hale; privileges and elections.
Mitchell (Ore), public buildings and
grounds, Quay; relations with Canada,
Carter; rules, Aldrich; territories,
Davis.
A majority of these assignments go
to the senators whose names are men
toned by virtue of seniority, but there
are some exceptions made necessary by
the probability of senior members re-
ceiVing other assignments.
PIatt, for Instance.
Senator Plat is, for instance, senior
Republican member on Indian affairs
and territories and the only Republic
can member on patents and revision of
the laws, and could have his choice OF
the craftsmanship of these committees
but for the probability of his being
given a place on the finance commit
tee, in which event he would surrender
his place at the head Of Indian affairs
to Senator Pettigrew and on territories
to Senator Davis, and probably be-
come chairman of either patents or re-
vision of the laws Senator Mitchell
will have his choice of the chairman
ship of either privileges and elections
or postoffices and post roads, but will
choose the first and will thus advance
Wolcott to the head of postoffices and
post roads. On the other hand, Sem
ator Teller is at the head of the Re-
publican membership of no committee.
and one Of the problems with which
the caucus committee has to deal is
..that of furnishing him with an accept
Fable committee. Senator Chandler is
& now member of the caucus commit
tee, but as the existing members of
the committee all get other chairman
ships he is enabled to take the place
at the head of this committee. Sem
ator Hale secures printing because the
Republican membership is entirely va
cant.

Boston's Great MeIodrama.

Boston has set the seal of her approval
upon "Burmah, the play and all the
company now representing this magnifi-
cent spectacular melodrama, ut the Bos-
ton Theatre That this is so, has been
plainly evidenced by the worry large and
enthusiastic audiences which have
greeted the production at every perform
ancc
On Monday evening next, the play will
entyr upon its sixth week, and an army
of new admirers will be added to the
thousands Of sympathetic and apprecia-
tive patrons who have followed the ad-
ventures of Norah Hanlon, Desmond, her
unfortunate lover, Cbandos the villain
Captain Dandy, Phillis de Bellcyille,
Lord Avondale, Marcus Scasi and all the
other minor characters Of the play, from
the brown boys of Ireland through Lon
don and Burmah, and thence back to
merry England.
The favorable verdict rendered by the
audiences thus far is just, and it will
stand. "Burmah" is undenisbly great
melodramatic success. The stage settings
are elaborate; nothing more perfect can
be imagined.
Mr.. Wilson handles the part of Lord
Avondale with c0nsummate skill. The
same can be truthfully said of Max Fig
man, who, as Captain Dandy, gives the
part of the young English officer dash
OF energy, enthusiasm and daring, which
wins for him instant favor and undeniable
approval with the audiences. Both are
ably seconded by the finished work of II.
Cooper Clitfe, Eugene Ormonde, Dore
Davidson, Victory Batcman. and Minnie
Dupree, who by their acting il Bur
NAH are constantly increasing their
already enviable regulations. All the
minor parts too, are we'll sustained, so
that the effect is both finished and i'm
pressive.
"Burmah" will continue as the attrac
ton at the Boston Theatre for weeks to
come.
