A movement, national in character,
was started in Hagerstown with view
of forming an organization to be known
as the National Fraternal Alliance. The
enterprise was conceived by dissatisfied
members of the Royal Arcanum. Much
interest in the proposed new order was
manifested at the initial meeting. AT
meetings to be held shortly detailed plans
will be formulated. All of the members
of the Royal Arcanum who are dissat-
is6ed with the conduct of affairs of that
organization by the present life MEM
bers and oficeholders of the Supreme
Council will be invited to become MEM
bers in the new alliance, without, how
ever, surrendering their membership in
the Royal Arcanum The objects of the
new alliance will be, first, to provide
death benefits to its members under
fraternal system to be approved by a
majority of the subordinate bodies, and
not to be changed without majority
consent of the bodies; second, to apply
as members of the Royal Arcanum fof
receiver for that organization, with
view to the proper distribution OF the
existing emergency fund to the bene-
hciaries of members whose deaths oc-

A committee consisting of Capt Geo
L. Fisher, J.. G. Meyer and Jacob J.
Schlotterbeck, Jr., appointed by the coun-
Gil of St. Matthew's German Lutheran
Church to visit the retiring pastor, Rev.
William Hoffman,, for the purpose OF
certain remarks alleged to have been
made by him in his farewell sermon,
called on the minister and laid the mat
ter before him, but he did not retract. The
incident, members of the church coun-
Gil say, is not yet closed. Rev. Mr.
Hoffman,, it is said, contends that his
farewell remarks concerning beerselling
at the Sunday School picnics were based
on things told him by others. A mem
Der of the committee received from Rev.
Mr.. Hoffman, bill for So for profess
sional services rendered at the time OF
the funeral of his daughter about two
years ago. Rev. Mr.. Hoffman, con-
tends that the church constitution re-
quires members to pay the pastor for
extra services rendered.
