INSTITUTIONS FOR MAN.
The Subject Of Hon. Eugene
Hamiltons Excellent Ad-
dress at Comanche.

The Comanche News has the
following 70 soy regarding the ad-
dress Of Hon. Eugene hamilton At
that place, delivered on St. John :
Day, June "a, afterthe installation
of officers Of the local lodge Of the
Masonic fraternity:
Mr.. Hamilton's address while
out Of the well beaten paths Of
such addresses was along lines
calculated to put men to thinking
and some to contradicting.
His irst position, or rather, the
subject Of his address was that,
sInstitutions are made for man,
not man for Institutions Grant
ING this TO be true, as perhaps al
ven will, be reasoned that 1t re-
m oved the objections largely that
are some times urged against Sc
cret orders, and that failure to an
derst.Nnd this principle is the basis
Of much intolerance, and crime
protected by individuals, eommun.
| litles and nations. Masonry hs
continued ''is grand aud good
older than the Christianity, but i
was instituted for man, not mar
for it," He reasoned that Mason
Iry must be good, otherwise it coul'
not have stood SO long, since al
institutions not good soon com,
to naught.
Here he dwelt largely upon th
why's Of the secrecy showing tha
from time immemorial all institu
tions we're founded more or les
In secrecy, teaching their gree
underlying principles by sym
boIs.
The address gave evidence I
the speakers familiar acquain'
ance with ancient and moder
history.

GREAT INTEREST.
But The Tent Revival Meeting Has
Not Yet Reached Its Great
est Height.

Tie tent revival meeting is con-
stanlly increasing in interest and
attendance. All this week there
have been enormous crowds At the
tent both night and day. Never
before has Uhlckasha experienced
such q mighty upheaval Of religion.
Between As and SO people have
been converted. From so to 20
persons 60 forward for prayers
every night. The meeting has not
reached the zenith Of interest and
attendance, but may tomorrow.
Rrv. j. B. Andrews, the evan
gelst, is powerful preacher and
is bringing conviction 10 tue hearts
Of the sinners Of Ohickashs. Some
Of the best business men of the
oity are numbered among the
converts. Last night there were
about LOGO persons present, and
Rev. Andrews preached stirring
sermon frorn the text "What shall
it profit man il he gains the
whole world and loses his own
soul" The sermon was interest
ing, instructive and profitable TO
Oh who heard il, and at the close
about 20 persons came forward
for prayer.
Tonight service will be held al

sermon being the "Prodigal Son.
There will also be services at Il
O'Clock tomorrow morning, while

THE INDIAN POLICE.
A Portion Of Them Will Remain
On Duty to Protect Proper
ty Of Allottees-

United States Indian Agent
Shoenfelt is selecting portion Of
the Indian police force, who will
be required TO make headquarters
at Muskogee so that they may be
at hand for any duty which may
require immediate attention. II
is probable about o dozen Of The
present force will be so assem- bled.
Mr.. 6hoenfelt says a number Of
matters come up in which the de-
lay necessary iu calling o body Of
the police together works to the
disadvantage Of the department.
The plan Of ''mobillzing" has been
adopted. Occasionally intruder
cases come up and these should
be inspected Of once and if tht4e
is good ground for action it is de-
sirable TO have an officer at hand
for the work. Another thing, he
said which gives considerable
trouble to the department is the
introduction of cattle which are
turned loose and frequently Le'
stroy the crops of allotteesand those
working for them. In cases Of
this kind the crops could be de-
stroyed and forgotten before q
prouer force of officers could br
gotlen together if the officers
should happen to be ont oD other
duiy. Other matters 81 o come nr
witch necessitates the use Of an
officer, as Mr.. Shoenfelt says, in
which It will be very convenient
and to the beat interest of the ser
vice to have a man or men imme-
dlately availsble. The force bat
not yet been selected, but it is be.
ing srraDged aud will be in readi
ness within a few days--Musko-
