Fraternal Orders

The growth OF fraternal aud be-
uevolent orders in this country has
been phenomenal. Few persons are
aware how many of yheSe organiza
lions there are in the United States,
and how great their strength is. The
Free Masons are still by far the most
numerous, though they are closely
followed by the Odd Fellows. The
latter have increased iii recent years
more rapidly than amy other benevo
lent and traternal order
There are now in this country
about, coo, coo Free Nasons,more than
$50. COO Odd Fellows, and more than
SOC, goo Knights Of Pytllians. In re-
cent years the development of fra
ternal organizations OF ahis kind has
been greatly stimulated 10y the eX-
tension Of the sick benefits or weekly
payments TO poor members during
sickness and by the application OF
all the improved principles OF life
insurance. III other words, by the
extension of the insurance features,
these organizations have grown and
spread rapidly. They have been well
managed il that they have devoted
themselves with much strictness to
the purpose OF their being. They
have been kept out of politics, and
have adhered closely TO the business
principle OF enabling thrifty mem
bers 10 be OF financial benefit to one
another. Some OF the newer orders
have grown rapidly and are now in Il

In a recent article in the Baltimore
American the statement is made, that
Virginia has recently passed a law
requiring crabbers using the scraper
to take out a license. No such law
has ever been passed by Virginia,
but it gave the Marylander who
wrote the article the opportunity to
make the charge, that because OF
such law, the Nirginians are "abie
to rob the Marylanders of their
crabs and therefore matter OF IN
difference to him whether true or Dot.
That the Pocomoke Sound boun-
Diary line dispute, to which the
writer refers in the article, will prot
ably be settled in the near future
depends upon whether the line is
so fixed as to permit encroachments
by the Marylanders upon Virginia
grabbing grounds. The buoys with
which it is proposed to mark the line
will probably disappear again, unless
the commissioner to be appointed by
Virginia, permits them to be placed
far enough in Virginia to satisfy the
Maryland crabbers.

With this issue the ENTERPRISE
enters upon the seventeenth year OF
its existence, and in noting the fact,
it give us pleasure to beable to state,
that its circulation and the liberal
patronage it enjoys in its other de
partments, justilieS the belief, that its
publication is no longer an expert
ment. Ofcourse, it is gratifying in
this connection to be able to state
also, thatn paper has ever been pub
lished so long on the Eastern Shore
or has ever approNimated the circu-
lation which it now has. That it has
rot teen without some merit, we
presume it is fair to conclude and
sixteen years experience ought to
have taught us to so run it us TO
make it more worthy of patronage in
the future than it has been in the
past. At least there is nothing TO
discourage us in the belief, that 1t
will not continue to be welcome III
the many households TO which it is
LOW a visitor but in many more. In
deed its constantly increasing circu-
lation justities that belief, and we
have reason to hope so, because il
will be both our pleasure as well as
our duty in the future, to make IL
more acceptable to our subscribers by
making it more worthy of THEN
patronage.

No PAY for Rcy. Ur. Talmages

At recent meeting of the trustees
and elders of the First Presbyterian
Church, of Washington, of which
Rev. Dr. Il. De Witt Talmage is asSo
ciated with Dir. Byron Sunderland us
the pastor, it was decided to close the
church for the summer, beginning
with the first Sunday in July. Dr..
Talmage will spend the summer 1T
his home on Long Island.
DIR. Sunderland made an announce
ment at the meeting which OCCASION
ed some surprise. He said that DR..
Talmage had rot received Il single
cent OF salary for the past four
months. and he also added that there
was very little prospect OF his getting
any for the next three months. rs the
church was to be closed during that
time.
The fact is that the attendance nj
the church has taken Il big slump
since the withdrawal from 1t OF eX-
President and Mrs. Cleveland. The
collections and pew rents have fallen
off in proportion, and, rs DR.. Tai
IMAGES salary is contingent upon the
receipts of the church, his preaching
for the past mouths has been UNI
profitable from financial stand
point.
When it was decided to bring the
celebrated Brooklyn divine TO Wash
ington he agreed that with the re
ceipts from pew rents and the collec-
lions all the expenses OF the church
should be paid, including the salaries
of DR.. Sunderland. the choir and the
sexton, and the bills for light, tnel,
etc. He was TO take the balance as
his salary. There was Il big boom in
the church immediately after DIR.
Talnage's advent in the city, and III
every service hundreds OF people
were turned away from the doors.
One of the members said that the in
come of the church was then ayerag-
ing $500 week \ large body of
police WAS stationed at the front door
every Sunday in order 10 preserve
order and 10 prevent disasters from
overcrowtiing.
The attendance gradually Dropped
off, however, and since March i the
church has had no more than ordin
airy sized congregations. The police
were withdrawn, ana there WAS no
further need OF their services. AS a
result of this lack of interest III the
church the receipts have decreased,
and fol the past four months they
have been barely sufficient TO pay
the current expenses, the interest on
the debt and the salaries OF DR.. Sun
derland, the sexton and the choir

Talking for Virginia.

Mr.. Paul Scherer, immigration
Agent of the Norfolk and Western

sned a folder calling attention to
business openings in Virginia. He
shows that the census of 1S9O reports
1e7 900 farms. producing farm pro.
ducts to the amount of S42, O00,0 GOO, In
industries were employed 10000 peo-
pie. The products Of industries were
estimated TO be of the value of $685.
100000 The products of mines are
valued at 100000, and those OF the
fish and oyster industry at $4,000, 900.
Since the time of the census business
conditions have materially changed.
immigration turns southwark, and
with the increase of population the
necessity to diversity farming and to
establish local industries is apparent.
With farming as the basis of wealth,
he suggests that openings may be
had for those interested i'll textile
industries, small industries in various
lines, packing houses, certain min
eral industries and products of tim
her. He summarizes the advantages
of the State as cheap labor, album
