LODGE ROOM GOSSIP
FRATERNAL ORDERS EXHIBITING
A TENDENCY TO CONSOLIDATE
THESE DAYS.

EXPENSES ARE THUS SAVED.
ROYAL ARCANUM THE LAST TO
DISCUSS THE QUESTION OF
GETTING TOGETHER.
AMONG THE LOCAL ORDERS.
Echo OF the Council of Red Men
Held Last Week-FOresters Start
Their Open Sessions.

The general movement looking
toward a conservation of energy, no
ticeable during the last decade in mer-
camille and manufacturing circles, has
broken out among the fraternal orders.
Many of the societies realize that
mistake has been made in creating new
lodges in sections already covered by
existing ones, and there is a tendency
toward consolidation.
Last winter the Independent Order of
Foresters Instituted two courts of bust
ness men, and already Court Abraham
Lincoln has absorbed Court Woodland
Park, and it is admitted that several
other courts could be consolidated to
the advantage of the order.
In the K of P. Enterprise lodge
united with another. Apollo and Ter
race City joined forces under the
name of Lincoln lodge, while Liberty
Lodge No. 1877 and st. Paul No. 43, have
completed all arrangements for consol-
idation.
In the Royal Arcanum the movement
has made much progress. The order
has eleven councils in St. Paul, three
of which are in the Midway district. 1t
is urged that the remaining eight
should be reduced to three at most, or
possibly two. Already two councils
have appointed committees to inquire
into the subject, while unofficial eX-
pressions from the heads in several
others, Indicate that the movement is
popular.
The reasons are obvious. In councils
having a. membership of from sixty to
enc hundred members, the income from
dues is barely sufficient to pay the fix
ed expenses of the council, leaving no
surplus for the benevolent work of the
council, entertainments and other una
voidable items of expense. Besides,
there is enthusiasm in numbers, which,
with a liberal appropriation for enter
tainment, the council sessions could be
made sufficiently interesting to call
out large percentage of the members,
and the enthusiasm thus engendered
would facilitate the procuring OF new
members. 1t is estimated that more
suitable accommodations for the coun-
ellis could be secured, and saving of
over a thousand dollars year be made
in the item of rent alone, which sum
could be expended in charitable work
and the upbuilding of the councils.

A remarkable book in many ways is
"a Woman's Part in a Revolution"
Dramatic intensity is combined with
self-control and equal-minded judg
ment in a manner unusual, at least in
one who has lived in the midst of the
events recorded and suffered by them
as few are given to suffer. Natalie Ham
mond, the wife of John Hays Ham
mond. has written the story of the
johannesburg revolution from the time
of Jameson's crossing the border to
her husbands release from the death
sentence. Although she touches but
slightly upon the causes of the revolt
in johannesburg and the ensuing po-
litical questions, in Difference to the
silence enforced upon her husband as
one of the terms of his liberation by
the Boer government, nevertheless the
book is important as history, setting
forth the facts of the revolution simply
and intelligently and with apparently
as little prejudice as is consistent with

From Avalon is small collection Of
verses by Mrs. Emily Huntington Miller. All
of them are musical, tender and graceful, and
a few have the spirit of the true lyric:
April! that's the time O. year
When the earth is waking;
When with every morn you SEQ
Signs there's no mistaking.
When the wind is blowing south,
And the rains soft pelting
Sets the little brook a-brim
And the last snow melting.
When the grass begins to show
Greener in the hollows;
When the robin calls, his mate
And the bluebird follows.
When the wild geese scream at night
To the northward hasting;
When the maple bark is wet
With the sweet sap waiting
April, that's the time O. year
Life and love are stirring;
Throb of heart, and heat of blood,
Rush Of soft wings whirring.

Loss of Forty Thousand Dollars at
Berlin, Wis.

BERLIN. Wis. Aug. 2S.-At 2:3O this
morning fire was discovered in the
shoe factory of the Putnam Shoe com
pany, the largest manufacturing plant
of the city, and several hours later
the entire plant had been wiped out,
throwing 100 men out of employment
and causing a loss of fully $40, OOO
The insurance is only $4,000. The fire
originated in the cutting department
from some unknown cause 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if the factory will be
rebuilt, and the fire therefore is a Sc
we're blow to Berlin, as 100 families
were dependent on it for EMPLOYMENT.

ASSEMBLY HALL BULLETIN.
Meetings to BE Held During the
Week.

The Bakers Journal, the official or
gan OF the Jourpeymen Bakers and
Confectionersn International Union of
America, after depouncing recent at
tacks made upon Terrence V. Powderly,
VINO was appointed recess" commits
sloner general of immigration by Pres
1dent Mckinley, 9after the senate had
ADJOURNED without confirming him,
says: There is too much of this
criminative and recriminative business
gong on in labor's ranks. The slight
est mistake of a man who for years
bore the hrunt of battle and whose
heart is as white and true as that Of
the best, owing to the morbid condi-
ton of the mind of the masses, is con-
Strued into a cardinal crime. 1t gen.
orally relegates a man, though he be
the ablest and best, to the rear, and
thus labor continually deprives itself Of
much OF its most valuable material.
And the saddest thing of all, the lead
ers who ought to and often do know
better, and many of them who quite
frequently condemn this uncharitable
way OF mutual treatment, when con-
Ironted with case where prejudice or
passion has been particularly busy in
d1vesting an old co-worker Of his last
garment of faith and honesty, which
for years had served him as his only
protector against the attacks Of the
common foe, they then lack the moral
courage to counsel against hasty &C
tons, to arrest the onslaught of pas
sion and intolerance, and to stand
fearlessly and consistently upon the
broad platform Of trade unionism. If
there is a sentiment in that platform
that should ever appeal to the work
ers and that is now sadly neglected, it
is: BE charitable to one another!

The Critic of Aug. q opens with paper by
Frances e. Willard, wherein, are set forth
certain Shortcomings in the Education of
Women" as seen and communicated to her
by a eollege-bred newspaper man. The faults
indicated are of commission as well as omis-.
sion, the observer pointing out several flaws
that well deserve the attention of modern
educators. The paper is likely to provoke
considerable discussion among the heads and
faculties of swomen's colleges.
