formed in this city Every patriotic male
citizen. eighteen years Of age and over,
OF good moral and social standing. who
can subscribe t. the principles CT the
Minute Men, is eligible to membership.
The roster OF the First Regiment contains
the names OF many of Washington's most
prominent professional and business men
as well as many officials who hold high
and responsible Government positions.
1t is entirely fitting that the Minute
Men. representing as they do, the very
first American soldiers. should be uni
formed with that most glorious OF all
American uniforms, the one selected by
Gen. George Washington for the first
American army. which so gloriously
achieved the independence of the United
States. N. \. WINTER.
Colonel First Regiment of Minute Men.
AS guard of honor to the congress of the
Daughters OF the American Revolution, d
detail of officers of the Minute Men per
formed their first duty as such Monday
evening at the annual reception by the
president general and the national board
a the National Museum. In their cooked
hats and Continental uniforms OF bUff and
blue, they not only served as vivid re-
minders of the Revolutionary patriots. but
presented a most picturesque appearance
and were clearly a leading feature of the
brilliant event. The detail formed at
headquarters. 500 Pennsylvania Avenue,
and headed by their drum and fife corps,
marched to the Museum to the stirring
notes of Yankee Doodle" and other pa
triotic airs.
Inside the receiving hall the scene pre-
scnted was picturesque in the eX-
treme, as Mrs. Fairbanks. president gen
cral of the D. y. r, followed by the
ladies' of the receiving line entered and
received a salute from the drum corps and
;he minute men. After passing through
The open lines of the men in Continental
regimentaIs Mrs. Fairbanks, arm in arm
with Col. NJ \. Winter. and followed
by Mrs, Burrows and other prominent
Daughters. each escorted by an officer OF
the Minute Men, and headed by the field
music marched the entire length of the
hall to the inspiring strains of Yankee
Doodle" The bright colored gowns of the
ladies were in pretty and effective con-
trast with the buff blue and gold OF the
officers uniforms. and the fair marchers
and their escorts received u most fiat
tering ovation from the assembled throng.
The picture in life and colors" as a
lady manager expressed it, was one
never to be forgotten"
Another picture in which the officers
participated was VIXEN they passed
through the double line OF marines, the
latter coming to present" as the Minute
Men approached. The marines next passed
through lines OF the Minute Men, the lat
ter presenting their cleaning swords as
the men in blue of the navy passed.

an extract frofn the secretary's rep TT for
February. as follows: I beg to "cport
that at this date there have been en-
dors6mertS from supreme bodies. cxeCu-
tive committees, and supreme officers who
speak with authority. Il fraternal bCne-
iiCidry societies representing an aggre
gate membership of largely over
5000 .00c. In addition to this, endorse
ments have been received from the
Mascns, Odd Fellows. Knights Of Pythias.
and other purely fratCrral societies. The
indications point to the cooperation il
some manner so as to obtain headquar-
ters by the c. A. K. and The United Con
federate Veterans. Applications have been
received for headquarters from the col
lege fraternities. II is safe TO say that
not less than $500 GOO members are rep
resented in the endorsements which have
been given by all societies.
The fraternal press of the country.
with a combined circulation of not less
than l,00O.000. have been unanimous in
the hearty endorsement of our project,
and no building feature of the Worlds
Fair of 1903 has received such commen-
datiOn from the metropolitan press of
this country as our Temple of Fraternity.
Without mentioning the individual So
cieties. assurances of support have been
received which practically already guar
antee 800 GOO, and only three of the
larger societies have taken definite ac-
ton as to the amount of calls al though
the others will do so as soon as the
france committee can present the matter
to them. which is bsing done with all
possible rdpditv.

very valuable a'ryiltary in cnlisting the
support OF the sor'- composed of and

not stand for so long a time as the old
Greek Parthenon stood. 1t will soon dis
appear. As a material structure 1t IS not
expected long to endure. The principles
which 1t typiiieS, however, Will never de-
cay. More durable than granite or mar
bic is the temple OF perfect manhood.
No one is now engaged in building pyra-
mids like those of Egypt. Great struc-
lures of stone are not thought of as much
as in the ages past. Immortality con-
ssts of something different from great
masses of material substances. 1t Is the
soul OF man now that is highly priced.
and it is the nOblest work OF man to lit 1t
to a higher a God-like life. In the days
of SodOm ii is said o. the people they
did eat. they drank. they bought. they
sold, they planted they builded.' But
they did not build well-their buildings

This also passed away when its worship
ers departed from the faith, and only a
few ruins mark the place where once 1t

OF time men have planned and builded, but

our Temple of Fraternity. 1t has for its
foundations the brotherhood of man. anu
its walls are builded upon the principles
and the practices of the Good Samaritan.
Its keystone is Love The name engraven
is Fraternity.
The Temple made of wood and stone may crum-

But there's a vicWless fabric which shall never
fade away
Age after age each brother strives to carry out
his plan,
But still the works unfinished which Fraternity
began

One Of the most impressive addresses
before the winter meeting of the Mis-
souri, Press Association at the Laclede
Hotel, at st. Luis, was the brief ad-
dress of Judge Noah NJ. Givan. OF Har-
risonville, Mo, president Of the Worlds
Fair Fraternal Building Association. He
is Il past grand master Of the Grand
Lodge of Masons, ana has been active in
many organizations. as well as a promi-
nent and successful professional and
business man. What he had to say was
so full OF information concerning a great
undertaking that it is well worth repeat
ing. He spoke as fellows:
In view Of the approaching Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, to be held in St
Louis in 1908. to be the greatest, the
most far reaching. and the most educa-
tive ever held in the world. it was
thought that fraternalism, the highest
expression of American civilization, one
OF the most ennobling social forces. and
the best manifestation of unselfish char
acter. should occupy no ordinary position
in that magnificent exhibit. Any enter
prise having for its object an expression
Of the life. spirit, and achievements of
our American people would be without
its browning glory If this fraternal eX
hibit were TO be omitted. Therefore, this
body, the Missouri Fraternal Congress, in
Guiding all the fraJernal and fraternal
beneficial societies in Missouri, promptly
decided 10 build upon the exposition
grounds a Temple of Fraternity in such
form as will properly give expression to
the growth, the magnitude, and character
CT fraternal lie in our nation. The con
gress was not long in causing plans to be
devised and propositions TO be submitted
to fraternal societies for corporation
which were promptly and unequivocally
given by most of the leading societies. as
also by the National Fraternal Congress
and Associated Fraternitles OF America
altogether representing a membership OF
over 1000 900. Following this the execu-
tive committee of the congress incor-
porated for the purpose of erecting the
