ODD FELLOWS WEEK.
Sovereign Grand Lodge In Session at Ia-
dianapOIis-Ov7er Three Million Doll
lars in FseIIef Last Year.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 17.-This
city this week is entertaining the SOW
ereign grand lod ge and Patriarchs
Militant, L o. o. f. The first day of
the encampment brought many odd
fellows to the city and the city is dec
grated in their honor. INTERVIEWED
with the flags and bunting are stream
ers of black as a token of respect to
the late president, William Mckinley.
The first session of the sovereign
grand lodge was held in the hall of the
house of representatives at noon
Monday and was addressed by Grand
Sire A. C. Gable, of Covington, Ky. He
said that during the year ended De-
cember 81, 1900, there had been 49,
S26 limitations to the order, of which
2,O75 were in the foreign jurisdictions.
The total amount spent in relief was
So, 736, 692, an increase of $41, 2O4,
which, however, is a much smaller in
crease than for the preceding year
The total increase of revenues of all
subordinate branches was S4SS, $40.
During this period the expenses in
creased 1925, 743 "a gain over 1897 and
the surplus revenue amounted to ST.
737, 1922, out of which the increased
amount of invested funds ($929, 1929
came.
The report of J. Frank Grant, of
Baltimore, grand secretary, for the
year ended December 81, 1900, states
that the closing year of the nine
teenth century was marked by an in
crease in subordinate lodge member
ship which has never been equalled.
BY adding the growth in subordinate
lodge membership in the year 1900
to the sisters united with Rebeka
lodges an increase of nearly 10000 is
shown, the largest in any year of the
orders history. There are now 10
homes in this country. They reTEe-
sent an aggregate cost of $753, 215,
and it costs S135, 116 to maintain them
In these 10 homes there are 851 in
mates. During the year 1900 the to-
tai receipts from all sources aggre-
gated $9,242. 26O,774. The current 'ex-
penses of the subordinate lodges ag-
gregated $3,967, 28S. and those from
the grand lodges, SIS in number, $327,-
292.
The membership of the encamp-
ment degree, as shown by the tabu-
lated reports of So grand encamp-
ments, is 34,8O5, which was a gain of
;, fo2 during the year.
The Rebekah lodges report total re-
ce1pts amount to $497, 1868. Their dis
| bursements, amounting to 1881, 527,
included $5O,87S expended in relief
work.

THE MELoDRAMATIc WEST.
There Has Been a Big Improvement
In the Manners of the
HOId-Up Men.

The west may always be rough
and-ready, generous. strenuous and
accustomed to doing things upon
large scale, but there have been fears
that the pressure of the practical af-
fairs of humdrum business life might
deprive that section of some of its
melodramatic characteristics. The
days of the James brothers and other
gentlemanly road agents of their
type, which seemed a modified sur
vival of the gentlemanly highway
man of the Dick Turpin age, seemed
to have passed, but now comes a
story from the Indian territory of
train robbery which, except for the
use of dynamite in wrecking the ex-
press car, demonstrates that there
are yet among those who hold up
trains some who are not entirely I'M
observant of the proprieties of their
profession, says the Baltimore Her
aid.
In this case two masked men
climbed over the tender of the en-
CINE, and, presenting the muzzles of
their revOlvers for the inspection of
the engineer and fireman, demanded
that the train be stopped at the next
water tank. The men behind the
pistols may have appeared little
rough, but it was the regulation
way. The train was stopped at the
water tank, its arrival being greeted
by volley from the pistols of three
confederates of the unwelcome pas
sengers on the engine. Could any
thing have been more melodramatic
than this?
The men went through the train
and called upon the passengers to
give up all their jewelry and money
There was no evidence of ill-breeding
on the part of the robbers; they
Sighted no one, and it is easy to
imagine that, after relieving the
gentlemen passengers of their rolls
and watches, they discussed with
them the best methods of reorganiz-
ing the democratic party or the re-
suit of the coming international
yacht race. It is not hard to believe
that men who were too high-minded
to carry their collection in sack as
they proceeded through the train,
but forced the postal clerk to do this
for them, were sufficiently gallant to
raise or lower window sashes for the
ladies and allow them to keep their
jeweled powder cases.
Certain it is that after they had
blown open the safe in the express
car they sat down and chatted pleas
antly with the engineer and fireman
for an hour or so, and upon leaving
presented the engineer with dia-
mond ring and a diamond stud as a
slight token of their admiration of
his ability to stop a train at a de-
sired spot with precision and prompt
ness.
Beside the deeds of these train
robbers the grove1ing accomplish
ments of the smelter thief on the
Pacific coast sink into insigniicance,
if manners and not merely mercen-
airy ideals are considered.

Ancient Armor

The knights of the days of chiva1ry
were so well protected by their armor
that they were practically invincible
to all ordinary weapons. Even when
dismounted they could not be injured,
save by the misericorde, a thin dagger,
which penetrated the chains of the
armor. In more than one battle
knights fallen from their horses could
not be killed until their. armor had
been broken up with axes and ham

Gloomy News from South Africa.

London, Sept. 1.-THE latest news
from South Africa is discouraging,
and the idea that the war is over is
discarded for the present. From Cape

practically fresh rebellion, hitherto
non-combatant Dutch taking up arms
for the Beers, in spite of the punish
ments lately meted out for disloyalism
by the English courts.

Petoskey, Mich, Sept. 19.-The at
tempt to trace the lineage of Cool
gOsZ recalls the connection of his
father with the Molitor murder mys-
terry, which shocked Michigan 25 years
ago. The elder Czolgosz was one of
the colonists in Presque Isle county,
ruled over by Henry Molitor, who was
an illegitimate son of King Louis, of
Wurttemburg, who fed from Ger
many under sentence of death. Stung
to desperation by King Molitor's
tyrannies and vice, a band of colonists
poured a volIey of bullets through
the window of the cOmpany's store
on August 16, 1876, killing Molitor.
The principal actors in this tragedy
were sentenced to prison for life, but
were subsequently pardoned. Amid
such surroundings Assassin Czolgosz
was born and reared.
