antee of how many deaths will occur.
The more deaths the more assessments,
and unfortunately the death rate has
been heavy with us recently. The su-
preme officers are to be commended Tor
their manly, Wise behaviour in asking
for these extra assessments rather than
obliging the widows and orphans OF our
dead members to wait eight or ten
months for the money which they should
receive from the Legion in few days.
Most Of the talk about appointing
receiver comes from men who are seldom
seen in the lodge meetings. They Ger
tainly forget the motto of our order
United, We Assist. They certainly for
get obligations to their brothers widows
and orphans. 10 pay these extra assess,
ments would cost less than their proposal
to engage a lawyer
Philadelphia August 27.-It is denied
at the headquarters Of the American Le-
gion of Honor that receiver has been
