Change In the Position of Jurisdiction.
Various Notes.
The Jurisdictions that have changed po-
sition during tho past year upon the basis
of percentage in the entire order are as
follows: From gain to loss, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Maryland; from loss to gain,
Ontario. All of the other Jurisdictions
have maintained relatively the position Of
last year.
There is no advantage to any beneficiary
order In bringing In members who are un-
able to keep up their assessments.
The death rate of the whole order shows
an increase of .32 from that of last year,
and the assessment rate shows the saIne as
last ear.
1t has been conclusively demonstrated
that no more effective agency could be de-
vised for building up the interest in the
A. O. U. W. lodges than having n lodge of
the degree of honor in the vicinity.
The A. o. U. W. is the only beneficial
society that gives its members a guarantee
of the annual cost.
The supreme lodge will hold it's next an
nual session at Buffalo.
The supreme lodge sustained the appeal
Of the various lodges in Michigan against
the action of the grand lodge in making
an assessment of 81. 10 when 81 OF was
enough.
The $1,000 beneficiary proposition was
passed by tho supreme lodge.
The supreme lodge decided In favor of
legislation in grand lodges favoring a sys-
tenn of graded assessments In four classes.
1t must be determined by a majority vote
of each grand lodge.

In nearly every grand jurisdiction there
Is an active Rebekah assembly. Some of
the assemblies nave been given all the
freedom from the grand bodies the law
will admit; many Others have been given
full powers i'll the matter Of unning their
state conventions. Most of them levy and
collect per capita tax, pay their own ex-
penses and are privileged to transact bust
ness, leaving very few states with assem-
blies but are working Independently of the
grand lodges except in the making of laws,
and even the lawmaking in a great many

not give the assembly the same independ-

WORKING FOR SOCIAL PURITY
A Congress for Good Morals in Session
at Baltimore.
THE INEQUALITIES OF LAWS
Legislative Enactments Which Discrimi-
nate Against Girlhood and its Favor of
Immoral Men-Necessity for Single
Standard of Purity for Both Sexes.

BALTIMORE, Oct 15.-The first national
purity congress, under the auspices of the
American Purity alliance convened in this
city last night and will continue in ses-
sion for three days Social reformers from
all parts OF the country are present as dele
gates. President Powell, in opening the
meeting, said that the objects of the con
gress are: "The repression of vice, the
better protection of the young, the rescue
of the fallen, to extend the White Cross
work among men, and to proclaim the law
of purity as equally binding upon men
and women" The speaker declared that
'age of consent statutes discriminate
against girlhood and in favor of immoral
men, and are for the most part disgrace
to the several states of the Union. He OK
pressed the hope that the present congress
would have the effect of emphasizing the
necessity for a single standard of purity
for both sexes.
"There is no religion" said he "where
there is not purity of thought and life
Impurity is the death of religion. 1t shuts
the eyes from seeing Cod seals the ear
against any holy affections, and buries out
Of reach all desires for spiritual associa-
Citations. We are unhinching in our atti-
tude towards the enemies of virtue, and
have only blows of indignant wrath for all
who seek to legislate into the nations life
cursed theories of protection to crime that
decency and divinity alike condemn We
hate with increasing feeling the fashions
of society that make cruel discrimination
of sex, that fatter and fawn upon the i'm
pure man, while loathing the impure wo-
man, and while we denounce the destruc-
tion of woman's imperial modesty in the
adoption of any custom Of dress or amuse-
ment that dethrones her from her regal
place as head of the home and leader in
the sweet civilities of life and companion
in every noble relation, we still have ten
der compassion for all who will return
and be the fountain of innocence and
abandon all evil ways"
Among the delegates, most of whom
have papers on various subjects which
they will read during the conference, are
/ Mrs Julia Ward Howe, Elbridge 7. Gerry,
Anthony Comstock the Rev. Antoinette
Brown Blackwell and scores Of others OF
almost equal prominence.

DELICATE OPERATION.



Mrs. Elizabeth Dornbach is at the Medico-
Chirurgical Hospital in Philadelphia and a
very delicate operation was performed yester-
day afternoon. During the fire in town on
June 1st, last the property of Mrs Dorm
bachs husband was destroyed From that
night Mrs Dornbachs mind seemed to give
way and her case grew more serious daily.
She was finally removed to the asylum at
Schuylkill Haven, but later the family
decided to have an examination made at the
Philadelphia hospital named above.
When the patient arrived at the hospital
the examining physicians and surgeons con
cluded there was a clot on the brain and they
removed part of the skull on the left side OF
the crown, disclosing a clot Of blood, as they
had supposed, causing pressure on the
brain The clot was removed and at last ac
counts Mrs Dornbach was making good
progress towards recovery. The theory
is that during Mrs. Donbach's intens,
excitement on the night of the fir,
a blood vessel burst and caused tn,
clot to form. The unfortunate woman
had suffered intensely but now that the
operation has been removed it is expected
that she will be as strong mentally as ever
she was before the unfortunate occurrence
Should nothing Unforeseen happen Mrs
Dornbach will return to town in about three
weeks.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct 15.-Mrs. John
A. Grover, who died at Laramie on Sun
day of starvation, has taken no nourish-
ment, except a glass of milk, for over two
months From 200 pounds in weight she
wasted away to seventy-flve pounds. An
extraordinary circumstance is that the
alimentary canal failed absolutely to per-
form its office for ten weeks prior to death.
Local physicians offer as possible ex-
PLANTATION the theory that some brain dis
order interfered with the natural processes
of the body. She apparently suffered no
pain. She was half sister Of Sarah
Althea Hill Sharon.
