EASTERN STAR RECEIVES

EASTERN STAR RECEIVES
A largely attended meeting of the
Eastern Star society was held in the
lodge rooms at the Masonic temple last
night in honor Of the visiting conductors
members of the order. After the mys-
teries of installing several new members
were gone through the rest of the even
ing was spent in a social way. Delicate
refreshments were served in the large
dining room and the evening proved a
most enjoyable one.
In the early part of the evening lady
reporter of The Herald called at the
hall, and, stepping into the ante-room
asked party who wore the regalia of
the order whether he could direct her
to the proper parsonage from whom to
obtain an account of the evenings pro-
ceedings. The unmannerly boor made
reply that no one was allowed about,
and that unless the reporter got out at
once he would put her out, at the same
time grasping the lady roughly by the
arm. To no explanation would he listen
simply repeating his assertion, saying
he cared nothing for the press, and that,
unless the reporter at once left the room
he would call assistance, and put her
out. The disgraceful incident was wit
messed by several Of the visitors, who
were geatly shocked at the actions of
the fellow.

WORTH THINKING OVER.

A writer has the following to say,
and it is worth more than cTsory
reading. 1t should be Thought over:
We are not quite ready 10 accept the
statement that has been SO frequently
made by all classes of society during
the past year, that onr people are i'll

some figures brought to our notice.
During the past year $40. 600, 600 have
been spent for bicycles, and no less
than $50, 900, 900 have been wasted for
chewing gum.
As much money is spent in twenty
seven days for liquor in ow United
States, aud rs much is pulled away in
tobacco smoke in fifty four days us
has been spent on foreign missions in
the last eighty years.
We talk of hard times, and attribute
the pressure 10 everything else but our
own foolishness We excuse ourselves
from doing Gods work because no
money can be spared, and vet the great
rivals of the Gospel never suffer from
hard times and luck of money Our
annual bill for chewing gum would run
nil our foreign missions i'll the world
for -four years, and vet how few who
are contributing to the great sun for
chewing gum would feel that they had
any money to bestow to help Christian
iza those who are living and dying in
the darkness of superstition. With all
our poverty we consume over 1000,
600 IN tobacco smoke every day in the
year, and more than twice that amount
il spent on intoxicating liquors, and

PENSIONS

We speak of thirty two years MS the
average life of Il generation. meaning
roughly that the sum of the lives of
human beings horn at the same time,
divided 10y their number. will he about
thirty two years The average eN-
pectation of life necessarily decreases
with the advance Of time. and more
rapidly in the cases of those suffering
from disease or hardship or injury. 1t
is Il striking fact, therefore. that the
pension rolls of the United States had
added to them IN the thirty third year
after the close and the thirty seventh
year from the opening of the civil war
bringing > 1886 names the total up to the
amazing number of 916,0i4
The population of the United States,
taking the census of 1870. and allow
ing for the average of increase rs in
former years, is a little under 20, 1000,
900. In round number, then, | to 20
of the entire population of the country
is drawing pension from the treas
ury. The ratio of pensioners to the
male population over twenty year
of age, is about i'll 20.
during the laSt lschl Neir SAYS the
New York Times, the payments
for pensions, not including the cost
of the service, We're Sal. 800. 936. -. or
very nearly Sl42. 900. 600 This is
equivalent to 81 yer year for every
man, woman and child in the country
and to 81 year for every male adult.
In other words, every pensioner re
ceives ON the average each So each wear
from 20 men, women and children. orS;
from 20 male adults.
II these enormous payments were
made for good reasons to compensate
actual injuries received in the military
service of the republic, no one would
complain but the very enormity of
payments shows that this is impossible.
Let the rolls be published in detail
as urged by Commissioner Evans.
That is the first step toward purging
them.
