The members of Lackawanna coun-
ell, Royal Arcanum, are decidedly orig
inal in their methods of making their
meetings attractive, and their pro-
gramme last evening was in keeping
with the usual standard of excellence
that has prevailed ever since the soci-
ETY. was organized. After the routine
business was passed upon, two new
members were initiated. They were
Druggist Clarence Shryer and Attor-
ney Walter Bevan, and then followed
the literary exercises which were of
unusual interest.
The first number was a paper on
"The Relation of the Citizen to the
State" by Howell Harris. The compO-
sition was meritorious i'm every respect
and showed that the writer was thor
oughly familiar with his subject. Prof.
T.. a. Cruttcnden followed with an cx-
Cellent paper on Patriotism" and the
sentiments expressed were approved by
the large assemblage. Charles r. Acker
also submitted paper on Party Gov
ernment," which was full of good sug-
gestions and general information along
that line.
Short speeches were made by AttOr-
ney Charles Oliver, Victor Lauer. e. w.
Thaycr, Mr.. Jirkins, Clarence Shryer,
John r. Farr and Walter Bevan. A
smoker was also a pleasant feature OF
the occasion At the next meeting n
debate will be given on the subject of
Love of Kindred and Patriotism
The session was attended by many
well-known men identified with the or
ganization and n number of visitors
enjoyed the treat.
