As OTHERS View IL.

The following in relation to the
question of annual or biennial ses-
sions recently appeared in the
knights of Honor Reporter:
One of the cheering things that p
pears in the report of the Supreme
Lodge session is contained in the
words, "Biennial sessions were de-
feated by large majority" 1t is to
be hoped that this is the last we
shall hear of this question, at least
for some time to come. In process
of time there may be a legitimate
demand for less frequent meetings
of the Supreme Lodge than once a
year; but at present, while we are
in the throes of new birth, it is vi
tally necessary that the representa-
tives of the Order should come to-
gether as often as once In a twelve
month.
One cannot imagine without a
shudder, what might have happened
had there been no session this year.
There was feeling of distrust
amounting to dismay among the
members of the Order, and it would
have taken but little to drive out
thousands of them. But happily the
Supreme Lodge came together just
in the nick of time, and it took ust
the right action. Consequently all
over the country there is restora-
ton of confidence in the perpetuity
of the Order which cannot fail of
being followed by a large influx OF
new members. The Order was saved
from danger, it not from death, by
the coming together of the Supreme
Lodge. Let this not be forgotten.
We have never been able to side
with those who favored biennial ses-
sions. There is something to be said
in favor of them on the score of eX-
pense. Undoubtedly if the Supreme
body met only once in two years,
the annual expenditures of the Order
present system; but there is such a
thing as saving at the spigot and
wasting at the bung, and we are
constrained to think that more than
what we saved in less frequent ses-
sions would be lost in some other
way In an Order like ours it is
necessary that something should
happen occasionally, that there
should be now and then a coming
together for the exchange of views
and for mutual admiration, not to
speak it sneeringly; it needs a rub
bing together, slapping of each
other upon the back and "good-tel-
lowing" one another to make things
hum. There must be advertising in
some way, or there is sure to be
bankruptcy sooner or later. The
amount OF advertising we get by
one of our Supreme lodge sessions
is hard to estimate, but it would
readily be seen negatively We're one
of these annual gatherings omitted.
There are two things which are es-
sential to success. The affairs of the
Order must be kept before the pub
lie and the members must be brought
together as often as possible. In this
way are the utilitarian and the sen
timcntal united; in this way do We
tell the public the practical good we
are doing, and in this way is the
spirit of fraternity cultivated and
enlarged.

Fa.llfa. ~



a correspondent writing to the
Empire State Workman says:
"Some Brethren have an idea that
when they leave the Lodge-room
they carry with them great secrets,
and they fear to open their mouths
even to the extent of mentioning the
name of the Order, believing that
they might be betrayed into reveal
ing some of the dark and hidden
mysteries known only to the initia-
ted. While it is doubtless true that
those who pursue this course are less
deserving of harsh criticism than
those who blatantly expose the pri-
vate business of the lodge, there is
no sense in regarding the entire pro-
ceedings OF a Lodge session as secret.
Much that takes place can be reveal
ed without violating any obligation.
The fact that the Lodge held a meet
ing on such and such night at such
place can be published to the world,
30 also can it be made known that
Master Workman Smith presided /;
that candidates Jones and Brown
were initiated that visiting Breth-
rem We're present from Neptune, We
nus, Orion, and other Lodges, that
motion to change the meeting night
brought on spirited debate, etc.
Now, some good Brother might
argue that the public generally cares
nothing for all this, but that is
purely arbitrary assumption. The
fact that the newspapers publish
long reports of Lodge meetings, de-
voting in some cases whole pages to
secret society matters, is the best
evidence that the public does care
and demands to know what is trans
piring in the several Orders. These
notices are read by persons other
than members of the society to which
they relate and have influenced
many to form a favorable opinion of
an organization of which they would
otherwise have known nothing.
They are excellent advertising me-
diums that many otherwise level
headed Brethren toolishly underes-
innate and perhaps think improper
to publish.
BY all means advertise your Lodge.
Don't hesitate to talk about it and
write about it. You will not be
brought to book TOR revealing 'se-
crets' of the Order if you exercise
common prudence.
Something was said in recent Is
sue of the Workman about Press
Committees. 1t is good plan for
Lodge to have such a committee, for,
although the officers of Lodge
ought to be sufficiently interested in
their work to send reports to the
newspapers, the fact must be recog-
niZed that what is everyhody's busi-
ness is nobody's business. The Re
corder might attend to the matter
one week and neglect it a whole
month, and if taken to task he could
Justly claim that it was not in his
line of work, and that he thought
the Master Workman or some other
officer would attend to it. Appoint
a standing committee for this pur-
pose Just as you would for any other
and require the committee to attend
to the matter. Above all see that he

Death of Hawaiian oentonariap

Death of Hawaiian Centenarian.
Sunday morning, May % last, at
Puaikaula, Puuloa, in the vicinity of
the entrance to Pearl Harbour, there
died an old Hawaiian woman named
Kealiiopunui (the big belled chief
at the home Of one of her grand
sons, Mr.. Jno. DeFries. She was
descended from high chiefs of the
Island OF Hawaii, but was born at
Kaupo, on the Island OF Maui.
From herself it was learned that
she was born about the time of the
"battle Of Kepuwahaulaula (the red
lnouthed cannon) or Hawai- (the
water), fought by the combined
forces of Kahekili and his brother
Kaeo, king of Kauai, against Ka.
mehameha l., at the Pail Hulaana,
near Waimanu, Hamakua, Hawaii"
1t was a sea-fght in which Kameha-
meha l. was victorious. This battle
was noted as being the first one in
which cannon (from the foreign
ers) was used to deadly effect. Our
noted chronicler, the late Judge
Fernandez, has set this time to be
about 1871, and which would place
the old woman we are speaking Of
to be 10Y years of age.
She was the mother Of % children,
10 Of whom came naturally. Only
two sons survive her, the youngest
aud her last child is about 80 years
OF age. From one Of her daughters
she has four grandchildren sur
viving her, namely Henry DeFries,
John DeFries,. Hiram DeFries (uow
Of Salt Lake City, and Mrs. w. B.
Rice. And from these grand-chil-
dren, she has % great-grandchildren
surviving her.
During the time when Mr.. r. @.
Wylle was Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, on account Of her being very
prolific, special silver medal was
made for her, which she highly
priced. In this connection, it must
be mentioned, she was only married
once. The medal is now in the
possession of her eldest grandson,
Mr.. Henry DeFries, the well-known
carpenter.

A Cockney Hero.

a black, rapidly moving mass swept
over the ridge OF lire Of hills half
a mile away. The outposts had
ridden in an hour before, so we were
not altogether unprepared. In an
instant the camp was in state OF
upheaval. The Tommies grabbed
their guns and scrambled to their
feet, officers shouted, corporals
swore; camels were kicked on to
their legs; on all sides sounded the
rattle of accoutrements. A square
was hastily formed.
BEETLES was very facetious. "For
Gaud's sake, corp'ral, put me at the
backp he whined in an ecstacy OF
mock terror. "For the Fuzzies ba'
brought their ladies with 'em, an

"they won't hit me where l keep my

there, for my belt is aworkin' inside

have good hide inside O. me nor
a ounce O. lead," said BEETLES. But
amt good cow-hide enough" said
Bander. "What fust quality man
you areW said BEETLES.
The enemy had halted at the base
OF the hills, and one Of them, chief
presumably, began to make speech.
"Bloomin' mugs" said BEETLES with
large contempt. "They always fool
about like that instead O. gettin'
one home quick" He wrinkled his
broken nose. "Lawd lummel" he
cried. Cow that blue mud do
stink! Pom my sivvy, it's wuss'n

"Good old Drury Lanew said Ban

"Ere they Gomez said BEETLES.
There was a moment OF tense
silence broken only by the heavy
thud of the on-coming horses hoofs
and the busy patter-patter OF bare
feet. Then, as the poor black
wretches hurled themselves against
our bristllng front, the guns spoke,
and pandemonium Of yells, shrieks,
and curses rent the air. A few of
the enemy had muskets - old
fashioned, long stocked affairs, with
pin-triggers and chased butts. A
bullet from one OF them took BEETLES
under the chin. He fell back
through our shivering line of in
fantry, and we picked him up and
laid him among the baggage behind
the camels.

Two men rolled through the dis

limbed Arab, the other was Bander.
Bander's hair was stiff with gore and

Bander. The Arab had thrown him
over and was kneeling on his

Drainage Trustees Promise Completed

THE CAKE WALK.
Fir. Polk Likely 10 Be Barred on a
 Charge of Professionalism.

Patrons Of the cake walk this even- i ing will undoubtedly enjoy a rare en- tertainment, but the initiated in mat ters of cake walks will note with regret the absence of Champion Cake Walker
 F. P. Polk. Business rivalry and pro- fessional jealousy are responsible for MT. Folks nOn-parGcipation in this greatest of athletic contests. When the affair was launched MT Polk was eager for the fray, so to speak, and early submitted his entry, but flood Of protests at once came down from other contestants and from members of the o. K. Athletic club, and the man agement, after due consideration decid- ed to bar MT. Polk, on the ground that
 he is not only professional, but So
 utterly accomplished in the art of walking as to be beyond the free-for-aIi
 class, and to be eligible only as an ex-
 hibition traveller. In short, it appears
 chat MT. Polk is another John R. Gentry, except that he is not sorrel in color, and can hope to get engagements at cake walking only for Q special cake land against time.
 It is well understood in colored SO cfety that MT. Polk carries medals gained as prizes for walking in Kan sas, Montana and Idaho, and during his long career in those commonwealths he acquired, par excellence, the single foot, the military trOt and the park walk.
 The fact that Mir Polk is a member of rival organization to the o. K. Ath- letic club had much to do with his ex- clusion from tonight's contest. He is employed in the Hotel Adams barber shop, of which J. W. Bolton is proprie- tor. MT. Polk is one of the most skillful buck and wing dancers west of New Orleans, and he is also secre- tary of the -Night-Out club, which has eleven members in good standing, each of whom is a cake walk CT. Emanuel B. Scott, the team being elected to the office because of his great physical strength. The Our-Night-Out club proposes to give a cake walk soon in the Hotel Adams dining room, and as MT. Polk is second vice-president of the club it is easy to see why the o. K. Athletic club has disqualified him for tonight's contest. R. D. Stearns yesterday lamented the professional jealousy which will prevent the public from enjoying Mir. Folks grace and skill at tonight's en- tertainment "You say you never saw that man Polk walk?'' said MT. Stearns to a Republican reporter. Why, man, you've missed part of your earthly life. Let me tell you that a pouter pigeon is 9 sick chicken by the side of him. Never saw him walk? Sayl he's in the air most of the time. Yes, sir; in the air. Why, if he could walk down there tomorrow evening, and have that Fl Paso lady of his with him, he'd make all them coons think they was spavined and hip-shot. And don't she wear all them harness for walkin'? Well, scarcely! o, she's a Lulul"
 MT Polk promises that the lady from Fl Paso will grace with her presence the affair soon to be brought off in the Hotel Adams 0Ining room.
