The eighteenth annual session of the su-
preme castle of the order OF the Knights
of the Golden Eagle will convene in Tren-
ton on Tuesday, Oct IL. 1t will be q
notable occasion.
The order is of comparatively recent
origin, having been founded in 1873, at
Baltimore, which has been styled the birth
place of secret societies.
The objects of the order are to promote
the principles of benevolence, by associat-
ing its members together for purposes of
mutual relief against the trials and
vicissitudes attending sickness, distress and
death, so far as they can be mitigated by
sympathy and pecuniary assistance; to care
for and protect the widows and orphans
of members, to assist those out of employ
ment, to encourage each other in business,
and by wholesome precepts, frsternal coun-
sci and social intercourse, to elevate the
membership and advance it toward high
er and nobler life
The requisite qualifications for member
ship are: That the applicant be white
man, at least Is years of age. of good
moral character, believer in the existence
of supreme being and the christian faith,
free from mental or bodily infrmity, COM
petent to support himself and family, a
law abiding resident of the country in
xvh;nL he l;vao aud have or 81 o;av+ o1,, oo&
tion to sign his own application for
membership. Each castle is permitted to
determine the maximum age of applicant.
Although first firmly established in the
city of Baltimore, the order did not obtain
foothold elsewhere until the fall of 1875,
when a number of Philadelphia Odd
Fellows were induced to visit Baltimore
for the purpose of being initiated into it's
mysteries. So well pleased were these
gentlemen with the ceremonies through
which they passed that Keystone Castle,
No. l, of Pennsylvania, was organized
soon after their return.
From that time, with more or less rapid
ity. the order spread to other states, and in
1888 it was introduced in New Jersey
Camden Castle, No. /, being instituted in
August Of that year. There are now IS
castles in the state, with membership OF
5000 The grand castle of New jersey
was instituted July 16, 1884, at Camden.

ANTIQUITY OF THE UMBRELLA.
II Has Been Known and Used for Thou
sands Of Years.

Possibly many OF you suppose THAI
the umbrella Ia a modern invention. but
Il ls not. Both as an emblem OF rank.
and as a protection from sun and rain.
II is ot very ancient origin. Though the
materials used n the manufacture have
been constantly changing. the general
construction Of the frame has been
changed but little in thousands Of
years
Egyptian and Nineyite sculptures Of
the earliest dates have many represen-
tatlons OF the umbrella, but II Il in
variably In copnection with royalty: II
was always held over the head Of
monarch when he rode In his chariot.
and at his great open air feasts. In
some OF the Hindu sculptures vishnu Is
represented carrying an umbrella when
going on a visit to the Internal re-
gions
We find frequent reference 10 the UNI
brella in the Greek poets: for its use
was quite fashionable among women
OF high rank in Greece. In the Middle
Ages Il was an emblem OF rank In the
church. Umbrellas were carried over
cardinals and bishops in solemn pro-
osssions, and all Of the large cathedrals
owned one or more umbrellas that were
kept for use on such occasions.
The Chinese adopted the umbrella at
a very early period In their history. and
for many centuries were the only peo-
pie that did not condne its use TO the
king and princes of the blood. How
ever they permitted only men OF wealth
and high position TO carry them. The
common peopIe protected themselves
grom the elements by making their
hats broad and umbrella shaped.
From the time they established their
empire the japanese have made much
use of the umbrella, II is also used
throughout India, but II is a mark OF
rank IN Burmah. and Siam. One Of
the titles OF the King Of Burmah is
Ford OF the Twenty-four Umbrellas.
He uses white silk umbrellas and no
other person Is permitted to use Il
white one. The princes Of the blood
each have. as a mark Of distinction.
two gilt umbrellas with handles 10 or
Is fest In length: the other officers OF
the state have but one.
From early drawings Il seems prob
able that the umbrella was introduced
Into Europe in the fourteenth century,
but It did not come into general use
until about 100.
