RATHBoNE SISTERS.

The Rathbone Sisters and the Pyth-
ian Sisterhood are rival organizations
in the sense that the membership of
both Is made up of the families of
knights Of Pythias, while their laws
and regulations differ in some respects.
The former admit Knights in good
standing to honorary membership. but
the latter does not admit knights
upon any consideration. This one
reason has been assigned by many as
preventing consolidation of the two
organizations and subsequent recog-1

The report of the recent meeting of
the Supreme Temple of the Rathbone
Sisters is full of interest to all mem
bers of the order. The retiring supreme
chief, Mrs. Dell P. Glazier. commenting
on the outlook said: Every temple
under the supreme jurisdiction has ad-
mitted knights to membership. Only
one temple had not complied, but upon
request knights were admitted to menu
bership. Four-ffths of the grand tenn
pies are in very prosperous condition.
The outlook of the order is certainly
very flattering. What has been accom-
plished in the past is only forecast

SPANISH WAR VETERANS.

All eyes are centered on Detroit, where
the fourth annual assembly OF the Ma
tional Army, Spanish War Veterans,
commences tomorrow. This meeting will
be one of great interest particularly to
the members of the District of Columbia
Corps, for the reason that the friends of
Col NJ Emmet Urell, of this city, who Is
senior vice commander, will present his
name to the assembly for election as
commander in chief. His strongest
opponent will be General Chopp, late
commander of the Ohio State Corps. who
was indorsed recently by that strong
body for national commander Colonel
Urell's supporters are sanguine and be-
leve their champion will pull through
with the assistance of the delegates
from the Eastern and Middle States and
the South
Another matter of great moment
which will come before the National AS
sembly will be the proposed amalgama-
tion of the two rival organizations-th
Spanish War Veterans and the Spanish
American War Veterans. This consoli-
dation is favored by President Roose-
welt, who is an active member of the
Spanish war veterans, and who will ad-
dress the Assembly tomorrow at Detroit,
and urge that such action be taken.
From present appearances the Corps
of Spanish War Veterans will be one of
the features Of the G. A. r. encampment
here next month. All honorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors, and marines
who served during the war with Spain or
the incident insurrection in the Philip
pines, and who desire to participate In
the parade, reunion. and other exercises
are requested to address Col. Lee NJ

Bills In Congress.

The words "has introduced bill in
congress-" applied to n senator or rep
resentative, usually sound much larger
than their ordinary meaning warrants.
In order properly to estimate the value
of the introduction Of bill one must
remember that of Il, 900 or Il, 900 meas
ures introduced few hundred only
are passed. AS for proposed amend
ments to the constitution, the infant
mortality among them is appalling.
Each new congress sees a score or
more of proposals for a Sixteenth
amendment to the constitution" We
shall doubtless some time have such a
thing. yet three amendments. all Of
which were consequences of great
civil war. represent the only changes
made in the constitution since the pres
idency of Thomas Jefferson.-Youth's
Companion.

ness and strength and upon Solidity ana
truth. The despotsms of the two Ma
poleons, the radical attitudes of the
different legislative bodies all show the
zigzag movement which has character
lied the march toward the summit of
human happiness. These things all
emphasize the period of retrogression.
What then is the duty of the college
graduate In the effort to better the
world?
The achievements of the past century
have worked rapid changes in all the
conditions of life and in this country
have changed the whole scci al condi-
ton of man. The pessimist is forced to
acknowledge that labor saving machip
cry is bound, sooner or later, to annul
the curse that by the sweat of his brow
man shall eat his bread. The popula
ton has been increased by a mighty
army from all tribes and nations all
with different habits and thought, diff
ferent morals and religions and ieas
of government. Colossal fortunes are
produced. Power is being centralized
on every hand. Centralized wealth is
centralized power and however con-
peril of our nation then will arise when
some great Industrial, commercial or
financial crisis precipitates an open
struggle between this centralized power
and the laboring class of the people,
The time seems not far distant when
such commercial crisis will close
factories by the thousands and throw
iaborers out of employment by the mil
lions; class sympathies will become
deeper and deeper and anarchists will
be armed and drilled in every city This
is not pessimist's cry but only a con-
dition that must be reckoned with.
Prudence demands knowledge of
the evil as we'll as the good The duty
of the educated man is first. last and
everywhere to assist in shaping public
sentiment in such manner that this
possible calamity, the probable result
ant of our present tendency and condi-
ton shall be averted.

The trustees also voted in their last
session to construct a new smoke stack
for the heating plant The stack will
probably be n brick chimney, the de-
tails being left in the hands of a COM

wind of night before last, the trustees
having acted upon the matter a few
hours before it's destruction.

the Same Class - Cable
Bill Killed.

Washington, June l2.-Illinois claim
against the national government for
expenses growing out of the civil war
was formally placed before the house
yesterday when the secretary of the
treasury sent in a report placing the
amount due to the state at S1,O05,129.
Attorney General Hamlin, of Illinois,
had conference with Congressman
Cannon, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, today in reference to
the civil war claim of the state, which
has been favorably passed upon by the
comptroller of the treasury. Mr.. Cam
non suggested that the attorney gen
eral remain in Washington to appear
before the committee on appropriations
and explain the claim. The comptro-
Ter audited the claims for interest, dis
count, and expenses amounting to
$l74,5G0.2S, and the auditor for the war
department audited additional interest
and expense claims amounting to
S23O,569,01, which, added to the other,
give total of $1,o05, 1929 as the claim
of Illinois against the United States.
Attorney General Hamlin will try to
show the committee on appro priatons
that the appropriation should be for
the full amount instead of for STA
560.2S, as audited by the comptroller.
The committee will probably not meet
until Monday.
The war claims of Indiana, Michigan
and Iowa are of a similar nature, all
having been reopened under the act of
congress approved Feb. IA, 1902. In
giving his opinion, the comptroller of
the treasury said that he thought the
contention of the attorney general cor
rect. and that the state of Illinois is
entitled to the interest paid on the
bonds issued for the purpose of raising
which was expended in aiding
the United States in accordance with
the act of July %, 1861. The interest
on these bonds was s53S. 540.13. He
therefore certified the following: Ex-
penses, $3,415.15; discount, S232,605;
int crest to July l. 1867, S53S.54O.1
The auditor for the war department
audited the following additional
claims: Interest from July 1, 1867,
s225,743.94; expenses, s4,S25.o7, which
makes the amount of the Illinois claim
s. 0O5.129.29.
