ENDOWMENT RANK FINANCES.
President Neal Gratifed at IndOrse-
ment of Recent Action.

Secretary of State Hunt. who is also a
prominent member Of the order of Knights
of Pythias. and who was a supreme repre-
sentative from this State at the recent ses-
sion OF the Supreme Lodge in Chicago, re-
ceived a letter OF more than common inter-
est yesterday from Charles F. S. Neal, of
Lebanon. Ind. now president of the board
of control of the Endowment Rank, X. of
p. President Neal writes from Chicago un-
der date of July is concerning the effect
OF the action of the Supreme Lodge in de-
Gliding to increase the insurance rates in
the Endowment Rank instead of allowing
that branch of the order to be thrown into
the hands of a receiver.
Correspondence reaching this office, "
said Mr.. Neal, Indicates a ready cOmpli-
ance with the recent action of the Supreme
Lodge a flood of inquiries are here con-
veying a feeling of hope for the future OF
the Endowment Rank. The remittances
thus far received this month are especially
gratifying, and | have been able to pay
more than $4,000 in death claims thus far
in the month"
Mr.. Hunt was highly gratified with the
statements in Mr.. Meals letter why, it
is little short of marvellous that President
Neal should have succeeded in straighten-
ing out the tangled affairs of the Endow-
ment Rank in this brief space of time to
the extent of enabling him to pay so large
an amount of death claims" declared Mr.
Hunt. You see II is only little more than
two weeks since the LIST of July. The su-
preme representatives from Indiana
Messrs. Shively, Shdeler, Hawkins, Wat
son and myself-are preparing a circular to
send out to the members of the rank tell
ing them what was done at Chicago and
advising them TO stand by the Endowment
Rank and support IL. In this circular we
express our confidence in the ultimate sue
cess OF the rank. and every one of us be-
lieves sincerely in II. Personally / have no
doubt that the Endowment Rank will be
In better condition twelve months from now
than II ever was before"
Mr.. Hunt showed Mr.. Meals letter to
State Auditor Hart yesterday and the lat
ter expressed unqualified admiration for
Mr.. Meals efforts 10 place the Endowment
Rank on a substantial basis.

The Original SoO-See Ragtime Band

OF all the funny performances that have
been seen in this country so far, the orig

direction of Herr Bickell, is undoubtedly
entitled to the palm. This band is made
UP of the twenty-five clowns of the Fore
paugh-Sells Twentieth Century Colossus. all
of whom are actually good musicians. OF
course the whole thing is a burlesque OF
military bands and band music, but 1t is
done III very artistic manner. The uni

and varied costumes of the clown, and their

as for the civil administration of the
colonial territories.
The repeal of certain portions of the
war revenue act will cost the govern
ment about s4000O,0OO annually, so that
next year the surplus will not be over
100000 and probably less. as govern
ment expenses constantly increase
while receipts gain but slowly. While
the treasury is already gloating over its
successful record for the fiscal year
ending on June 80, 1901, the administra-
tion is prepared to shout still more over
the marvellous development of the for
eign trade of the United States. The
figures will show balance of trade in
favor of the United States of about
s67500o,o00. or about Sl45.oOO.o0O more
than for the previous year. Whatever
foreign critics may say they cannot ex-
plain away that this fiscal year the
United States has sold abroad of our
domestic merchandise more than two
thirds of billion dollars IN value great
er than the cost of the foreign merchan-
disc brought into this country.
No matter how the balance may be IL
quidated this little matter of twp-thirds
of billion of dollars will be on the right
side of Uncle Sap's ledger when he
closes his big book with satisfied bang
