Lodge Members Dissatisfied.

New York, Nov 20--Dissa abstraction is
not yet at an end among the 5000 men,
beers of the Knights and Ladies of Honor
in New Jersey over the recent adoption
by the supreme lodge in session in In
dianapolis of new assessment rate ta-
Bile, to so into effect Jan. l. 1900 From
present indications the outcome of the
trouble will be big lagal battle between
representatives of the New Jersey mem
hers and the supreme lodge of the par
ent order. 1t will then be argued whetf-
err the latter has righs to re-rate the old
members, taking into account their pres
ent age, as If they We're new members
without regard to the fact that MANY
or them have been in the order more than
- years, thereby increasing the amount
or their assessments from 200 to 800 per
cent. over the old rate
AT special meeting of the grand lodge
of New Jersey, held in Newark Supreme
Vice Proctor Prudential and Supreme
Medical Examiner DR.. whitehall were
1eer5d and hooted down in their attempt
to address the representa- ives of 45 sub
ordinate lodges of New Jersey Imme-
diately after adjournment another meet
ing was organized by-t delegates in
their capacity as members of the order
The supreme officers and some visitors
from NeW York were required, to leave
the hall and no one was admitted unless
he or she could give the semi-annual
password for New Jersey The assess
ment question was thoroughly discussed
and 1t was finally disposed of by the ap-
pointment of committee to consider
the advisability of withdrawing from the
knights and Ladies of Honor and form
ing new and INDEPENDENT order with
New Jersey the nucleus for national
organization.
1t is not likely. however that this com
mittee will recommend secession and in
dependent organization until the aues-
ton OF the legality of the action of the
supreme lodge Is settled Prominent
lawyers have been consulted by the COM
mlttee and 1t has practically been decid-
ed to advise the members to tender the
old rate of payment for the first assess
ment which is levied by the supreme
lodge after Jan. ]. 1900 under the new
order of things. That the tender will
be refused is certain. The members will
then decline to pay the amount of the
assessment and this will lead to the sus-
pension of the members. The next step
Will be for the members to go into court
and ask that the supreme lodge be en-
Joined from suspending them and from
enforcing the collection of the new rate
assessment. The fight will then be on.
This action will be based on the ground
that when the members Joined the order
they entered into contract. which con-
tract will have been broken by imposing
a new and higher rate of assessment
without the consent of all the members.

When there is a lack of Electricity IN the
system you are sick My Belt Is to supply
this lost Electricity. The only trouble
heretofore with electric belts and batter
les was that the current did not penetrate
the system but was retained upon the
surface. which caused frightful burns
and blisters. I have done away with al
that. My Belt has soft, sllken, chamois-
covered sponge electrodes that render
this burning and bllstering physical nm
possibility and allows the entire current
to penetrate the system as It should. Tho
electrodes on my Belt cost more to manu-
facture than the entire belt of the old
style makes. When worn out 1t can bs
renewed for only IL tents. No other belt
can be renewed for any price and when
worn out is worthless

Nearly everybody you meet will regard it
as kind of insult to be asked if they have
weak lungs. All seem to have solid faith
in the soundpess OF their own breathing
machine. In cases of trouble they will ad-
NIT there is heavy cold," g touch OF
bronchitis" or even ga spell of asthma but
as to weak or unsound lungs, never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarcely
speaks without coughing, whose cheeks are
wasted, hollow and bear the hectic flush OF
doom, will assure you with glistening eyes
that his cold is on the mend. and he will be
all right when the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far We
may be guilty by our Indifference to the
lung trouble Of those so near and dear to u.s.
1t is also sad thought that we may hug a
delusion as to our own health that we only
get rid of when life itself must pay the for

Nobody can afford to think lightly of lung
troubles Nobody can afford to be mistaken
about their possible dangers. Nobody can
afford to neglect them, or let them wear

other tomfoolery that leads only to wreck
and ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong by
themselves-you must heal them and
strengthen them, and rid them of the very
earliest germs Of disease, or you are simply
committing a form of suicide. Either you

Multifarious Duties DevolvIng upon Ger
Guy v. Henry.

| A glance at the General Orders which
have been issued in Porto Rico by Gen.
| Henry since Dec. 2S shows what extra
ordinary duties and responsibilities are
laid upon that officer. From all the ac-
counts we get, we Judge that Gen. Henry
mas shown great energy and intelligence
as Military Governor, and has given gen.
eIal satisfaction; but what thing it is to
plunge soldier into all the intricate de-
tails of civil administration Thus, on
Dec. 2S, we find Gen. Henry appointing a
Board of Health at San Juan, and ar
ranging for similar boards throughout the
island, whose powers he defined. Two
days later he was issuing Compre-
henSive order regulating taxation. Postal
regulations and obligatory vaccination oc-
cupIed his attention on Jan. 3. Later in
the month we find him promulgating
orders designed "tO remedy the evils due
to unjust apportionments"; reducing no
torIal fees; abolishing the lnsular Cabi-
net; regulating the use of cemeteries;
suspending the foreclosure of mortgages;
Suppressing a municipal council, on the
ground that the cOuncilmen quarrel with
one another, that they refuse TO act in
the interests OF the people, and that
money is corruptly used"; revising the
poor and marriage laws, etc.
Gen. Henry, in short, appears to be just
the man we have heard people long for as
the ideal ruler-a benevolent tyrant. He
has practically absolute power, and he
uses it like another Haroun Alraschid.
1t is novel business for an American sol
dier. Napoleon prided himself that he
was even greater as a lawgiver than he
was General, and Wellington was for
years the real King of Portugal, as well
as commander of the English forces; but
not even in reconstruction days in the
South did American officers have to play
such role of legislature, executive, and
judiciary rolled into one as our new Colo
nial Military Governors are compelled to
undertake. One reason that Gen. Henry
has been able to succeed so well in 1t IS
that the inhabitants of Porto Rico are a
quiet and reasonable and fairly intelli-
gent people.
