The entertainment that was given last Fri
day night by Franklin Lodge No. A, A. O. U.
W., the first in number of years, drew to
Laurel Hall, in Shiels building, a fashionable
audience that crowded the hall 10 its fullest
limit. The entertainment was, to use the
language of a member OF the order who is
known from the fact that ne is the hardest
man 10 please. "the most select and best ever
given by a lodge OF Workmen in this city"
Tho,e VINO are entitled TO the credit for this
compliment are Past Master Workman Otto

Braiton, first tenor; F. W; Healy, second
tenor; c. Moore, first bass, and c. W. Belts sec
ond bass. Is a comparatively new one, but
is one that prod duces music that charms as no
auartetIte ever before charmed. 1t can best
be described as the perfection of the com blna-
ton of four voices. Then came mandolin
and guitar duet by II. w. Kraus and E. }. Toe

mencing on the 18th inst. California was
represented by C. o. Burton, supreme repre-.
sentative, and w. D. Mansfield, supreme
orator. There was good attendance ana a
great interest was manifested in the proceed
lngs. There WAS also q great degree OF con-
hoence despite the loss that the order has
sustained in the past two years in consequence
OF the change in the plan OF assessments
During the past two years the order has paid
1868 death claims, amounting in the aggre-
gate 10 $5 .060,5 500.
The condition of the order was freely dls'
cussed and while it was the expressed opinion
OF OF all that there was need for some legislation
there was no occasion for fear OF the present
status OF the order In the future.
Ihe law OF the special session held In Ph1la.
delphia creating classes and was repealed
ana the table of rates known as class was

hereafter there will be but one rate tor mem
oers OF The same age and that will be the class
rate.
1t was also made law that but twelve as
Sessments per year shall be levied. and II q
greater amount than what such assessments
VIII produce shall be required to meet obliga-
tlons, the deficiency will be met by q draft on
the emergency fund.
In view OF the fact that but few have partici-
pated IN what was known as the sick benefit
1t was abolished.
There was material reduction in the
salaries OF the officers of the Supreme Council,
ana active measures will be taken as to the
future of the order.
The reports presented showed that twenty
nve new councils had been instituted during
the past two years and several more are in
process of organization.
The new supreme commander, F. o. Downes,
Is represented as an active and earnest worker,
and the assertion is made that he will advance
the order into new fields, as he has already
uone to some extent, and that he will also
visit all parts of the jurisdiction, including
California.
The statement that for some time had been
that receivership was TO be appointed for
the order was taken up and discussed. The
first application of the kind was Withdrawn
one was filed the day that the supreme body
met This did not attack the solven cy of the
order, but 1t did attack that part of the law
that created two Glasses of members; but as
that law has been repealed the action will fall

Fred Scharning hansen, Cook, Surren-
ders himself Rather Than Com
NIT Crime.
Fred Scharninghausen, cooS in restau-
rant at Al Turk street, is locked up in a
padded cell at the Receiving Hospital on
a charge of insanity.
Scharninghausen domestic life has not
been happy for some time, and about two
weeks ago his vie let him and went to
live in a house in the rear of 33l Turk
street.
He brooded over his troubles, and yes
terday afternoon he walked up to the pro-
prietor of the restaurant, B. Mahrstedt,
and handed him package, telling him to
lock it up and send for policeman.
He was pale and trem bling all over, and
Mahrs edit, to humor him, sent for Police
man W. Coleman. When the officer
reached the restaurant Mahrstedt handed
him the package, and on opening it be
discovered navy revolver loaded in every
chambe
Coleman asked Scharninghausen if he
intended to shoot himself and he replied
Worse than that" AS it was evident
that he was insane Coleman rang for the
catroi wagon and had him taken to the
R 'ceiving Hospital.
From his remark it is thought that
Scharninghause bought the revolver 10
kill his wife and then himself, and to save
himself from committing the crime b e
asked Mahrstedt to send for the officer.
