portant matters Of legislation laid over
from the last meeting will be brought
up for final action. The principal BUSH
ness will be the adoption Of a new code
OF laws for the government OF the or
der, and definite action will be taken on
the proposition submitted at the last ses-
sion TO establish a grand tribunal for
the adjudication Of all legal questions
that may arise.
At the session of the Supreme Lodge
held In Washington In 1894 there was
radical change made In the structure
and autonomy OF the institution. Three
separate and coordinate departments
were established-a legislative, judicial.
and executive. A new constitution was
adopted, a supreme tribunal appointed
and organized, and a general code Of
laws was adopted, superseding all laws
existing at that time.
A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.
The reports OF the Supreme Keeper OF
Records and Seal, presented to the Su-
preme Lodge at its convention in Cleve-
land, O., on August g. 1896. make COM
parative atement Of the number Of
lodges and members OF the order from
it's institution In 1864 to that time.
The Supreme Lodge was organized
with three subordinate lodges and Sc
venty-eight members, and its increase
has been phenomenal in the history Of
similar organizations. The table shows
a steady increase each year Of It's ex-
istence, and for the year ending Deem
Der 81, 1895, the report shows that there
were 6,50i subordinate lodges, with an
aggregate membership Of 464.5S9
The endowment and uniform branches
OF the order also show marked increase
I'm membership and resources. The en-
dowment branch is the insurance depart
ment OF the order. The last report Of
the president Of the Board OF Control
shows that there are now In existence
3,l00 sections with a membership OF A.
600, whose combined insurance aggre-
gates s91, 10000.
Since the organization Of the insurance
branch OF the order, the total benefits paid
by the Endowment Rank to the families
Of deceased members has aggregated the
enormous sum OF SIC, 81, "a.
ORIGIN OF THE ORDER.
The order takes its name from one or
the characters in the beautiful mythology
cal story which serves TO illustrate the
strength and fidelity Of the attachment
between true friends. Pythias was con-
demned to die for plot against Dionysius,
Of Syracuse. He obtained leave Of tho ty-
rant to depart for the purpose OF arrang-
ing his domestic affairs upon his friend
Damon offering himself to be put TO death
instead Of his friend, should he fail to re-
turn. Pythias arrived just in time TO re-
deem Damon; and Dionysius was so
struck with this instance OF friendship
