Consolidation OF Lodges In Large C1Iless
Notes and Gossip.
A correspondent of the knights of Hon
or Reporter writes: In our large cities,
where central locations are SO easily
reached, would it not be more beneficial
all round to have only one, two or say three
lodges than to give charters to 90 and
more lodges, each with a separate date and
rooms to meet in, to exc out an Indifferent
and miserable existence. Our motto
should be, In union is strength" The
amount paid out monthly in all these
lodges for rent alone, to the exclusive
benefit of the landlords only, would in
sure to all mem bers stipulated sick benc-
fits without any extra charge to the indi-
gidual member. With the reduction Of the
number of lodges the vexed question OF
representation at the grand lodges would
naturally be made an issue to be rightly
settled, giving the majority its due right
to vote.
Boston lodge made the largest net gain
in membership during 1894 of any lodge
in Massachusetts.
Now let US all stand together and make
one grand effort 60 secure a handsome in
crease of mem bership by June !, when the
supreme lodge meets. If each lodge IN
the country would add one member
month for the next five months, the IN
crease would be assured. -Knlgnts OF non-

Grand View lodge, Texas, was lnstltut-
ed Nov. 6, 1894, with 90 members. Dur
ing the first 45 days it initiated ~ new
members
Letters received from officers OF various
lodges clearly indicate general revival OF
interest in the order and it's work among
the membership in Ohio. A large num-
Der of petitions for membership are recent
" reported on file, and many blanks are
being ordered.

There was another graceful costume,

to undeceive him. He had seen several
lovely wax figures, with the dainty new
evening dresses on them, and some Of
the deep show windows wherein they
bank up the sweet spring flowers to at
tract the careless eye. In them we see
millions OF the dear and ever beautiful
violets, the pure lilies of the valley and
perhaps few crocuses and hyacinths.
Lilacs como later, but they come al
ways, and we always welcome them
with the same smile Of content
The use of artificial flowers as garni-
ture for dresses, not only those for balls,
but for theater and reception, is beyond
all precedent. They now make neck
bands of ribbon or black or white tulIe,
and these they stud with violets, tiny
rosebuds or, in, fact, almost any flower
whose color is becoming and size suit
able. These bands are worn afternoons
and evenings, at home or abroad. They
are worn with high dresses and low
necked ones. In some cases the flowers
extend all the way around, and in 9TH
ers they are set on in punches.
Almost every evening dress for the
young is trimmed with punches OF flow
ers on the shoulders and at the belt and
often on the Sk1fG. III one OF the grand
show windows there is dainty gown.
There is an underskirt of pale blue taf-
feta and over it "a plain gathered skirt
of silk muslin striped with narrow pale
blue lines. The corsage and sleeves were
of pale blue silk Grape, trimmed with
daisies and foliage. Hanging from the
ribbon belt were six long fats of blue
ribbon, three in front and three in the
back. 1t could not be prettier.
Standing beside that was figure, the
face being the image of Mrs. Cleveland.A
This displayed very rich reception
gown of old rose French broadcloth,
with green cloth panels and sleeves.
The waist opened over a handsome
stomacher of the old rose embroidered
in green, with a finish of large jet beads
at the waist line. Three rows of beads
enoircled the sleeves. On the waist were
rosettes, and at the neck were two 9TH
ers, ending with loops at the sides.
These little touches add to the elegance
of gown.
The social season being just at its
height, ball and reception gowns are
more in evidence than any other thing.

Eraaf On WindoWa

A Topeka firm recently took great
pains to have their show windows SO
constructed that frost could not gather
on the panes. In spite of this it did and
the proprietors of the store were much
disappointed. A Topeka mechanic says
that very thin coat of glycerine applied
to both sides of the glass will prevent
any moisture forming thereon, and will
stay until it collects so much dust that it
cannot be seen through.

Probable Composition Of the Five Cizilized
! Tsibes Communication
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The organ
ization of the commission appointed to
negotiate with the five civilized tribes
will be completed within a short period.
The number of members was increased
TO five at the last session of congress,
but the two additional commissioners
have not yet buen named by the presi-
dent. 1t is believed, however. that the
commission as finally organized will be
as follows: Ex-senator Henry L.
Dawes, Mas .achusetts, chairman;
Archibald s. McKennon, Arkansas,
disbursing agent; Major Meredith H.
Kidd, Indiana; Conceal Frank G. Arm
strong, District of Columbia, and either
ex-Representative A. B. Montgomery
Of Kentucky or ex-Senatos Matthew G.
Bntler, South Carolina. General Arm
strong was President Cleveland's first
appointee as commissioner of Indian
affairs, but resigned recently to accept
a private Office. He has since remained
in Washington, and it is current
gossip among officials that he
will fill one of the vacancies
There are number of applica-
cants for the Offices and both ex Repre-.
sentative Montgomery, of Kentucky,
and ex-senator Butler, of South Caro-
lima, are in the field. The first three
were appointed in November, 1898. and
commenced the negotiations early last
year. their work meeting, however,
with considerable opposition among
many of the Indians. The offices pay
$1,000 year.

they wished to see raised and settled,
which comes to the same thing. the
case" he added, 'could not possibly
come up for trial until the fall, since a
commission would have to be issued to
take evidence in Honolulu.

GREENWOOD, KY, March 2S.-One of
the most daring, and at the same time
one of the most unsuccessful attempts
at train robbery, occurred at 2:3O a. m.
in the Southern portion of Kentucky,
when six men undertook to rob the
souJhbound train No. 3, Queen and
Crescent, which left Cincinnati at 4 p.
m. One of the six was killed outright;
another died at 4 o'clock; third, giving
the name of Miller, now lies here Sc
verely wounded, and the other three
have not yet been heard from. The
train was delayed not more than 10
minutes, and reached Chattanooga at 8
q. M, on time.
Had an Intimation.
The reason for this summary disposal
of body of train robbers is found,in
the fact that some tidings of their pur-
pose had been given to the railway and
express authorities, and that Mr. T. r.
CIR. fin, who serves as a superintendent
of police on the Southern road, and had
with him two trusty assistants. The
train had just reached the south end OF
tunnel No. 8, which is mile north OF
Greenwood, when the robbers signalled
it to stop. They had scarcely disclosed
their purpose when Mr.. Griffin and his
assistants Oh the train began offensive
operations and in 10 minutes two of the
robbers had bitten the dust, the others
had flown and the train was speeding
on it's way. Not single injury was
suffered by any one on the train. OF
course the treasure in care Of the Adams
Express company's messenger was en-

WINNIPEG, March ~. The announce

filling the galleries before the hour Of

soon as the clerk of the house finished
the reading one of the opposition mem

going to do about it. Premier Green

from the government in council. which
took an hour to read, would certainly
require few hours. perhaps days, per-

declined to intimate what course it was

THE CANADIAN ROW.

Official Circles at Ottawa Surprised at
ManitOba's Declaration.
OTTAWA, March 28.-The news from
Winnipeg that Premier Greenway has
declared that 1.-THE govern r generals
order will be rejected in it's entirety"
(meaning the order to grant remedial
legislation to the Catholics in the mat
ter of separate schools), while not unex-
pected, has created great excitement in
official circles. II is admitted that the
situation is pregnent with critical pos
sibilties and that much depends upon
the action of the Dominion government.
It is, of course, possible that the Mani
toba Legislature may shelve the question
for year, as the federal parliament
Has No Jurisdiction
till the government Of the province acts
or refuses to act on the remedial order.
But this seems hardly likely to happen,
Judging from the reports OF the feeling
among the majority of the people OF
Manitoba. Assuming, then, that the
order in council of the Dominion gov
eminent is ignored, what will be the
steps taken by the government to en-
force it's demands: This question may
be determined by the outcome OF two
by-elections, one in Quebec and the
other in Ontario. which are shortly to
be held.
May Cause Long Litigation.
The British North American act is in
many ways an elastic affair and 1t WILL
be difficult matter for the Dominion
government to decide that 1t has or
that it has not the right to interfere In
the additional legislation of the prov
inces. If it should decide to interfere,
it is possible that such interference
would make the political divisions OF
Canada coincide with its great religious
division, or would lead to series OF
appeals to the courts, the end of which
can scarcely be foreseen. So far, the
action of the government has resulted
in stirring up a feeling in Ontario
Very Hostile to Itself,
while in Quebec it has had a directly
contrary effect. None of the parry or
gans in Ontario dare to commit item
selves to any definite statement as to
the course to be pursued towards Mani
toba. The Liberal papers, naturally.
their party being in opposition, are
delighted at the trouble and devote
many columns to Geographic reports OF
all news bearing ON the school ques-
ton, while the government organs, to
give one example, Monday gave only
the bare announcement in four or five
lines of the arrival of the Order-in-gen-
eral at Winnipeg.
