Our fraternal journals should con-
stantly insist, and imperatively de-
mand, that the protection offered by
the various fraternal Orders must
not be confounded with the insur-
ance offered either by the old line,
or open assessment companies.
They are as wide apart as the poles,
as different as light aud darkness.
One glows with fraternal love and
confidence, the others are the sordid
contracts of cultured Shylocks.
We cannot emphasize this differ
ence too strongly-the future Of
fraternity depends upon it. The
Congress of the United States and
the Legislatures of many States have
confirmed this position by the pas
sage of the "Uniform Bill" The
courts have decided that our Orders
are not insurance corporations. The
mails are open to us because of this
construction The word insurance is
a misuomer when found in the fra
ternal vocabulary. 1t is too weak
and too sordid. Protection is the
only word that can definitely ex-
press our mission.
Its definition is "defense, shelter
from evil, preservation from loss,
injury or annoyance" Our missio1
is to defend the living, care for the
sick, bury the dead, and provide fl.
nanoial aid for the loved ones, in
event OF death
Moses evidently referred, proph-
etically, to the fraternal beneficial
Orders, when he said, Let them
rise up and help you, and be your
protection" Protection is our strong
power of defense-our bulwark Of
safety. When we abandon it, we
write "Ichabod" over the doorway
of our Lodge rooms. Ii the Frater-
nal Congress did nothing more than
adopt a common code, by which the
word insurance is banished from
the columns of the fraternal press,
and the word protection substituted,
it will have accomplished a mighty
work. Let rs get squared away on
the right track. Let us determine
"where we are at" When we do this,
the members of the various Orders
will begin to learn that they belong
to fraternal beneficial socities, and
not insurance companies.

The law of the A. o. U. w. and

ness has again been upheld, this

liquor firm and was then denied
the privilege of membership in the
society. Suit was instituted to
compel the Order to keep his in
surance in force. After a full hear

was rendered in favor of the So
ciety. The case was then carried
to the Supreme Court and the lower

The iraternal field is full of bar
gain counters, cheap John insur-
ance concerns and bargain hunters.
Thousands upon thousands of poor,
ignorant, misguided men have en-
deavored TO procure protection for
their families by joining Orders
which will die in the next few
years. There is but little use in
pointing out to them the defects in
their system and endeavoring to
show them the inevitable result.
"Their officers will tell them differ
ent, and they should know better
than an outsider" and so the poor,
misguided creatures are led on year
after year until at last they are
awakened to the fact that their Or
der was built on foundation OF
sand, and has left them in their old
age on the shore of the sea of ad.
versity.

Dayton Kevoda, Saturday, February IS. 1899.

Why do we join fraternal Orders?
Is it only for the purpose of getting
all we can out of it for ourselves,
for the trade we will expect from
the Order, and the political "pull"
which may be thrown in our favor?
Are we selfish enough to think that
we are the only ones who are en-
titled to receive much who have gi-
ven so little? Have you, my Broth
er, thought of this? The actual good
sought after by those who love the
Order most is many times lost sight
of by the applicant and many times
by mem bers of the Lodge Remem-
ber that there is a vital principle
that should never be overlooked in
urging any man to become a mem
ber. 1t is the principle of "True
Charity" He, who had this prin-
ciple most deeply imbedded in his
heart and shows it in every thought
and act, comes the nearest to exem-
plifying the "ideal frater" Remem-
Der also that selfishness, political
pull or anything OF that nature is
not the right spirit in which to ap-
proach the fraternal altar. Remem-
ber also that fraternity means more
than this; we are always entitled to
our share, but our ideas must be
broad enough to lend helping
hand to our Brother in misfortune
and remember his widow and
orphans, after he has laid down
life's work and gone to the farther
shore.-Empire State Workman.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
No. Z.

THE Exec. ! <ENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured

assist one IN avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession. and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives.

MUSICAL NOTES.

The meeting Of the Musical Alliance
which was held in the Welsh ConGre-
gational church on Tuesday proved a
very successful event. The ehoirs Of
Taylor Providence and of the West
Side churches mile the affair a Coun-
terpart of those held in the fatheIland
There is reason to believe that an
open air musical contest would enliven
the musical element in this viciTity. 1t
has been suggested that a musical fes-
tival be held at Glen OnokO. There
is no doubt in that it would be a sue
cessful event, owing to the fact that
it is the center of Luzerne, Carbon,
Lackawtnna and Monroe counties.
Lillian Blauvelt may be heard in
opera at the Metropolitan opera house
this coming season; Mr.. Henry Wolf
sOhn, her agent, having received an
offer from Maurice Grau for the Amer
lean prima donna. Whether she will
accept an operate engagement will be
decided when Mr.. Wolfsohn reaches
london, where he meets Miss Blauvelt
AeXt week.
The announcement made i'm yester-
days papers stating that the second
chamber concert of this season would
be given on June Q in Guernsey hall,
was received with delight by the large
circle of art lovers. The Hemberger
quartette, at it's last chamber even
ing, received such an overwhelming
appeal to repeat the entertainment.
This request will be granted with
pleasure by the quartette. The works
that will be given are the ID minor
quartette by Cherubini: childhood
scenes by Schumann; A major quar-
tette by Goddard. One Of the move
ments I'm the childhood scene is the
famous Traumeri. The Goddard quar-
tette will form a splendid climax 10
an evening that will be long remem-
bered.

CURIOUS BIRTH STATISTICS.
Ratio of Male to Female Is Large in
War Times.

At the next meeting of the Society
for Physical Research one of the in
teresting subjects that will probably
come up for discussion, according to
the New York Press. will be the re-
markable increase in the number of
births of boys over girls which the
vital statictics of New York show in
the month of November and UP to the
present time this month. 1t will have
a direct bearing on the theory OF pre-
natal influence in the regulation of sex,
as advanced by Dr. Schenck, and which
has been supported and combatted by
eminent psychologists throughout the
world,
BY those who indorse the Schenck
theory it is maintained that the in
crease i'm ratio cannot be simply coin
cidcnce, confined to one particular sec
tion, because similar ratio of increase
Of births of males over females is
shown in the statistics of nearly all
the large cities, and is offered as
proof that in the grand compensation
of nature the martial spirit aroused
by the war with Spain Is responsible
for the production of material for fut-
ure soldiers.
Boston, Philadelphia, St Louis, San
Francisco and Chicago all present the
same propOrtiOnate increase as New
York.
And it is natural that it should be
So" said psychologist yesterday. "A
thousand years before DR.. Schenck was
born it was observed that after wars
the male births exceeded the female
in the ratio Of 100 TO - and 100 to so.
In the Alcxandrian wars this fact was
noted and commented upon by the phil
osophers of the days, and the reverse
was true in the decline of the Roman
empire. when the people fell into sloth-
full habits a2d enervating luxuries
The number Of girls increased and the
boys were not robust
IAN people who maintained their
martial vigOr after losing many men
in armed conflict, as the Macedonians
did. lived to see the male population
brought up nearly to the standard that
ii had before the natural protectors
were slain The martial spirit that de-
velops into activity the destructivensss
of man and arouses the latent heroism
and self-saCrlfCe. of women has un-
| questionably an influence on the future
race and the division OF the sexes,
"A people long given to the pursuits
of peace and reaching plane of civil
| ization that renders them effete become
| the mothers and fathers OF girls. The
nearer that man reaches the primevsl
condition Of maintaining life by force
| of arms the greater the number OF
male children that are born. The early
| American Indian demonstrated this in
| the extraordinary disproportion Of the
sexes, the male predominating in all
| the warlke tribes"
