time of the examination aggregated

the protection of members in lieu of a
policy reserve was found by the ex-
aminers to be 1858, 919.
The examiners conclude that while
the society is perfectly solvent. there
has been negligence and misconduct on
the part of some of its executive Off
GERS and that a portion of it's estate
and effects has been wasted or lost.
They call particular attention to the
shortage chargeable to Secretary J. Ad

made up; to a shortage in the mortu-

At the meeting of Court Sachem, No.
"a, in Foresters' hall on Thursday eve
ming. it was decided to make the first
meeting night in December a public
whist and the committees were named
to carry out the plan. This court al
ways fills the hall on it's whist eve
nings, SO that the same thing may be
counted upon for the coming whist as
always.
The F'oresters have just completed
arrangements through their trustees to
lease the hall for a term of five years,
so that they are now going ahead to
give it general overhauling to put it
in first class shape.

The decision as to the annual dis
position of the beautiful banner which
the grand lodge awards to the lodge
making the largest net gain in mem
bership will be in order on the first OF
the next month, the time for the COM
petition expiring December 1st Thus
far. the honor of receiving the award
lies between Phoenix lodge No. 40, of

The past year has been one of great
encouragement for the Connecticut A.
o. q. W., and for the order throughout
the country. In Connecticut an in
crease of interest among the lodges
and of enthusiasm for the order has
been manifest and an increase of dis
position to work for the prosperity of
the order. The report made by the
insurance department of the state up
on the status of the fraternal organiza-
tons doing business in Connecticut
was most gratifying as to the sound
ness and entire adequacy of the rates
of insurance of the A. o. u. W., which
has tended to further confirm the
membership in their satisfaction with
their order, and lays new foundation
for an increase of work for the or
ganization. The leaders of the order
in the state look forward to the COM
ing year as full of promise for a
marked and extraordinary increase in
membership, especially if the outlook
for a year of business prosperity for
the country at large is all right

This court comes to it's twentieth an
niversary with a record of which it car
be proud. having paid out in the last
twenty years more than 100000 in ben
efits to members, and it has at the
present time more than $1,000 in the
treasury, with a membership of over
200. There are two other courts of
Foresters in the city,with total MEM
bership of over 700 in the three courts.
Through the sick and funeral benefits
given, the social intercourse, fraternal
feeling and helpfu1ness in various
ways, directly and indirectly, towards
the members and their families, it
would scarcely be too high an estimate
to say that 1000 people in the city
have reason to rise up and bless the
name of Forestry. The order is purely
American, taking in all nationalities

cardinal principles of liberty, unity. be-
