THE KNIGHTS OF FIDELITY.

The Knights OF Fidelity is fraternal
and benevolent order for the benefit and
protection of men engaged in the liquor
traffic and allied lines of business. It's
scope is natioral and 1t aims to unite
fraternally all persons engaged in the Ii
quor and kindred trades. Other frater-
nal orders debsr a large number of up
right and honorable men for no other rea-
son than from the fact that they are en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale of Ii
quor. which we claim is legitimate and
honorable business. 1t is not only fra
ternally beneficial but one of the princi-
pal aims of the order is to use all lawful
means to prevent unjust and oppressive
legislation directed at the liquor inter-
ests. Another is by concerted action to
assist each other in the hour of adversi-
ty and misfortune. 1t admits to member
ship all free born white male persons of
good moral character and in good health.

the Capital of the country. and a city
which was the object OF so much intensa
solicitude by them during the war.
From first to last more than LOCO. 600
men, or 0ne-half of the entire army Of
the United States, camped maneuyred.
marched and fought Immediately around
Washington.
The bloodiest battles in the history of
the world occurred within a radius Of
sixty miles of the National Capital. and
almost every rod of the country south of
the Potomac, as far as Appomattox. is
now associated in some old mans mind
with some intense memory of the days
wnen he was a stalwart and vigorous
youth. Naturally. he has a strong desire
to visit once more, before he dies. the
scenes which live so vividly in his MEM
ory.
Then those veterans who served else
where have a strong desire TO come to the
National Capital. All of them want to
bring their wives and families, and 20
over with them historic places. The high
tide of prosperity in the country makes
money plentiful. and gives the means OF
making this journey to substantially all
of them very large proportion of the
veterans enlisted from, the New England
States. and from New York, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and then. at the close
of the war, migrated to the West. The
made with the railroads
will enable these to come on East cheap
ly. and after the 5ncampment, to spend a
month with relatives and old friends. All
this will contribute to bring throng OF
visitors here. which can conservatively
be estimated at 100000.
