Large Attendance of Members wit.

The increased interest in the visitations
Of the grand council of the Royal Arcanum
was manifested by the large attendance
at Capital Council No. $50, last evening.
The Officers Of the grand body present
were: Grand Regent E. B. Eynon, Philip

The degree team OF the grand council
performed the ceremony of initiation in
a most impressive manner upon three
candidates, and four applications for men,
bership were received. The grand regent
selected as the orator of the evening
Claude R. Zappone, regent OF District

Some OF the business firms are quite
generous in the gift OF seeds. Yesterday
Messrs Shaefer y Cleary sent the com
mittee ten bushels of potatoes.
Mr.. F. L. Moore, the chairman of the com
mittee, who gave great deal of his Tune
and attention to the experiment, said yes
terday that in proportion to the scale on
which the planting was done the trial was
eminently successful.
A very Interesting tact which he noted is
that of the thirty six planters who went
into the business last year, not one OF them
has this year made any demands on the re-
lief associations for assistance. This Is
the strongest point yet made as TO the
utility of last years work.
The planting Is of course not confined TO
