lodges of the same order. The majority
of candidates are attracted t. the large
and powerful bodies and the strong
branches grow stronger, while the smaller
ones lose in membership and influence.
As the attendance in the smaller organi-
cations grows less the members take
cards and join the big ones.
When a candidate decides to join an
order, in the majority of cases, he Will
seek out the strong lodge, or if he joins
n weak lodge it will be because the lodge
is enjoying a boom. If ne finds that a
lodge is small, that it has very little
money in its treasury and that the mem
bers are talking of disbanding, he will
not be likely to join 1t. Many lodges
have disbanded through lack of interest,
small membership, depleted treasury
and heavy expenses. Pride causes the
members TO hold the charter as long as
possible, but the time comes when the

vote to break up the branch. ~
---On the other and, however, there are
many cases on record in which a few

CONSOLIDATE
THE LODGES.
FraternaI Orders Believing More
in the Principles Of One
Strong Lodge.

The principle of consolidation has APP
pcared among the fiatcrnal orders in
much the same way that it has in the
business world, and in many Of the
brotherhoods there Is a disposition 10
consolidate the weak lodges and THIS
lessen the expense of maintaining the
organization.
All the leading orders have numerous
lodges in large cities, and it is frequently
to prosper. They hate small member
ships and In this way they are handle
capped by the proximity of tn. big
Perth Amboy evening news., 1904-12-08

and finally to the schedule of one session
a month. In the end the lodges have dis
banded, and those who have remained on
the rolls to the last have found them
selves out of the oder.
The reason why so many lodges exist in
the large cities is because when some
members become dissatisfied in a lodge
they withdraw and start "A new one. 1t
is frequently the case that "A new lodge Is
begun by a member who has been deposed
from leadership In another organization.
Rivalry, good naturcd or otherwise,
exists between the lodges of any order.
Though the struggle may be of the friend
ly kind at the start, it frequently be-
comes unfriendly, especially when all the
lodges are engaged in "A race for members.
To keep the lodges of an order friendly to
each other, is one of the most perplexing
problems with which grand lodge. Officers
have to deal. This rivalry among lodges
stands In the way of consolidation. If
two weak lodges are induced to look upon
the principle with favor, one of them
may object to ~surrendering its name.
This is always the chief difficult, and If
each side is obdurate, negotiations fall
through. In some cases the night of
meeting for the proposed consolidated
lodge proves to be q stumbling block,
while in many instances two lodges can
not decide upon a plan to distribute the
offices. 10 carry out consolidation each
lodge interested must argee to sink all
individual desires and agree to organize
q new body without prejudice"
No grand lodge executive cares to lose
a lodge during his term; though, while
consolidation means the loss of a lodge, it
does not involve loss of members, while
in case u branch is disbanded both the
! body and it's members ale lost TO the
order. Weak lodges have always been a
cause Of anxiety to grand officers. In the
hope of saving a lodge and avoiding con-
%solidation, many executives have lost a
number altogether. This has caused
orders to look with more favor upon the
principle of consolidation, and in some
instances grand lodge officers have recon-
mended Legislation favor ing the principle.
When hall rent is considered, 1t costs
no more to accommodate a lodge Of 700
members than two of fifty each. The
secretary of a lodge with 100 members
has very little more to do than that Of
one of fifty. The sane number of officers
is required for a lodge of twenty-five
members as fol one with 500.
1t is the opinion of many leading fra
%ternal order men that it is well to follow
out the principle of consolidation until
every lodge with less than 100 members
has been merged with some other.
! Some think that grand lodge officers
| might properly refuse charters in a city
in which there is a lodge with less than
100 members.

HER SACRIFICE.
By KATE A. LYNCH.

Through the soaked streets she
Went, unmindful of the hurrying
crowds and haunted by the words of
an old song:
He turned him right and round about upon
the Irish shore,
With ''-Adieu for evermore, my love" and
''adieu for evermore!'
1T was, indeed, "adicu" forever. Her
late-cbme lover aid an hour ago asked
her and she had refused him, and all
was over.
Her thoughts went achingly over
the past.
At school Anne Quayle had given
Indications of what had been consid-
cred literary gifts. But with the clam
oious demand from home for help for
ever in her ears there was no leisure
ID think of anything but the devisine
Cf ways and means to assist the strug-
giers in the Manx hills. How well
Anne remembered the first weeks OF
anxious searching for employment,
and how quickly under that disillus-
ioning experience her hopes Of liter
ary'' work faded and she was willing
at last to share her %landlady's labor
OF tailoring for one of the big city
firms. 1t was slavish, ill-paid work,
but fate kept her rigidly at coat-mak-
ing for Is long years. First her father
and eldest brother were drowned and
the second lad fell into a lingering
consumption. The next ran away and
had eve been heard of. The two
girls next in age to Anne had been
brought to Liverpool by her. But they
wearied at the monotonous tailoring
and went as early S they could to
homes of their own
l"Well, work is plentiful now" Anne
said to herself, "and by keeping
s~trenuously at it | can manage to have
al little house for mother and the chill
drensand myself"
But when, after a years close toll
ing, she had succeeded in laying by
the modest sum necessary her mother
refused to leave the old home, SO Anne
sent them the money she had meant
10 use for so different a purpose and
kept toiling and saving and sending
until the two youngest girls found
openings in life for themselves and
left her mother alone. When at last
Mrs. sQuayles, with the sum of money
that the sale of her interest in the
farm had left her, took her leave of
the Crosby bells and S~ieuhellion it
was not to Anne she turned, but to
one of her married daughters. 1t
would be untrue to say that the eldest
did not feel this keenly, but the
loneliness of the forsaken house is in
her heart" she said 70 herself, and it
lis natural enough that she Should Ike
10 live within the sound of children's
cheerful voices again"
The move, Al any rate. lifted the

and left her free for the first time to
take up the career that she had longed
so vainly for all those years. But, alas,
the days of freedom may be overlong
delayed. ~Thirty-three and Is are SO
different. Her book was we'll received
by a few whose opinion was worth
having, but to the general mass of
readers it was "too pessimistic,"
It was this book, however, which
brought her one lover to her, 1t had
found in another country a reader who
perceived in it the wild Brontean Gel
tic feeling and fire that satisfied his
literary cravings and filled him with
a keen desire to know something of
the author. 1t was At time of pam
Celtic enthusiasm and he made speedy
arrangements to come inc see her.
"And that will be the end of it all,
gIoaned Anne, with sad prescience.
Three months before a letter had
come from her sister Margaret. with
whom her mother had been living.
The poor old woman had just had an
attack of paralysis, land |, with a

with al ever-goading urgency for the
means whereby to live could not,
Anne knew, be of a quality to find ac-

pang she put it away from her and
took up the sewing again. And it was
when she had almost forgotten that

Inflated steamer General Slocum. The
blow was struck by fireman, who
rescued the woman from drowning.
Mrs. Gessman jumped from the hur-
ricane deck of the Slocum. She was
seen struggling in the water by fire
man, who leaped TO the rescue. He
was caught by the drowning woman,
who choked him with a death grip so
tenacious that finally he was COM

DEATH MAY CLAIM TWO
Occupants of Wrecked Craft
Saved From Drowning by
Prompt Acts of Boatmen

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1. = Two
prominent society and club men of
Minneapolis received probably fatal
injuries and five other persons were
seriously injured in an explosion OF
a gasoline launch tank In the Eleanor
at Tonka Bay, Lake Minnetonka.
The injured: Llewellyn Christian,
probably fatal; George Upton, prob
ably fatal; Harry Merriman, badly
burned; Mrs w. P. Devereau, burned
and leg broken; Mrs. Harry Mer-
riman, badly burned; Harry Merriman
Jr., slightly burned; Prudence Merri-
man, slightly burned.
Christian was entertaining a party
of six grown persons and two children
and his boat was headed for the bay
when the explosion occurred. 1t was
caused by leak in the gasoline tank
and the boat was wrecked. 1t Is due
only to the fact that number of sail
boats and rowboats were in the bay
that the party escaped death.
