The disease is not communicated

by marine commerce or through rail-

The board also urges upon municipal

To make any city proof against the

Streets Closed for
Private Property Owners.

The action OF the city commissioners
in passing the ordinance for the clos
ing of certain streets and the creation
of a cemetery in the Bayou Texar
section of the city indicates a lack OF
business and administrative judgment
that is nothing short of painful
This ordinance is published in the
legal advertising columns of The Jour
nal today and we hope all citizens will
take the time to read it. The ordi-
narce is a bad one from several
standpoints.
In the first place. there is no rea-
son why cemetery is either desirab bic
or necessary anywhere in the beauti-
full Bayou Texar section. Cemeteries
have for years been established in the
western part of the city and there is
plenty of room there for more. No
reason exists for the establishment
of cemetery anywhere else in the
city
In the second place, the ordinance
does not contain a line which gives
thu city any control over the proposed
cemetery. Az example of such lack of
Cortroi is now found in the case of ST.
Eichaers cemetery the condition of
wh!~a, from the standpoint of cleanli-
ness and public health, has been more
or less discreditable for many years.
" ny should the city now grant new
cemetery privileges without imposing
some sort of obligation as to how the
cemetery shall be kept and conduct
ed?
In the third Place, by the closing

SHARP FIGHT BY
SNAKES WATCHED

F'uquay. n. c., Aug. 1s.-A crowd
here witnessed a snake fight the other
day. a king snake and a moccasin
were discovered in deadly combat near
a spring.
The king snake had the moccasins
head in it's mouth when discovered and
the moccasin had its tail tightly twist
ed around root on the waters edge,
the king snake being unable to loosen
the hold so it could finish the job.
Onlookers broke the moccasin's hold
from the root and the two snakes were
carried to a clear opening nearby,
where the king snake made away with
the moccasin by twisting around its
rival and squeezing its life out. Then
the king snake swallowed the mecca
sin and crawled leisurely back to the
spring.

The membership is divided into
two classes, insurance and associate,
and on February LIST, 1914, was COM
posed of 101,203 insurance MEM
bers, 207,669 associate members, a
total membership of 308,872.
Wherever the Order is estab-
lished, it enjoys the friendship of
the highest ecclesiastical authority,
and its roll of membership is hon
ored by the names of many of the
American Episcopate, and great
host of Jealous priests. No import
ant changes in its ceremonials are
effected without the approval of &C.
clesiastical authority.
During the 80 years Of it's exist

New York State.
On April 10th. 1892. Bunker Hill
Council No. 62 was established at
Charlestown, Mass.
On May goth, 1892, Home City
Council No. 63 was established at
Springfield, Mass.
1t now became apparent that the
Board of Government, or chief legis-
lative body of the Order. was not
constructed to meet the needs of the
rapidly growing society. The Board
of Government, therefore, provided
for the organization of State Coun-
ellis, to be composed of two delegates
from each subordinate council in the
State. The Grand knight and the
last Past Grand knight of each
Subordinate Council, by virtue of
their offices, became the delegates
to the State Council, which was con-
vened and presided over by the Su-
preme knight.
Under the directions of the Board
of Government, the Supreme Knight
proceeded to the City of Providence,
r. L., where on April 22nd, 1893. the
delegates from the several councils
in that State were convened, and the
State Council of Rhode Island was
organized.
On April oath, 1898, in the City of
Boston, Mass, the delegates from
the several Councils in the State of
Massachusetts, was convened, and
the State Council of Massachusetts
was organized.
On April 26th, 1893, in the City of
New Haven the Supreme Knight con.
vened the delegates from the Sub
ordinate Councils in the State of
Connecticut, and the State Council
of Connecticut was organized.
On July 29th, 1893, the Board of
Government was succeeded by new
body. called the National Council.
This body was composed of the State
Deputy and the last Past State Dep
uty of each State Council, and by
one delegate from each 1000 new.
members of the insurance class.
It was further provided that where
the number of Councils and member
ship in any state was not sufficient
for the purpose Of organizing state
Council, that the Supreme Knight
appoint chief executive officer, to
be known as Territorial Deputy"
who, by virtue of his office. would
be delegate to the National Council.
In October. 1898, associate men,
bers were first admitted to the Or
der. The establishment of the asso-
ciate class was intended for men ad-
vanced in years or men who were
unable to pass a physical examina-
tion, but has gradually been extend
ed to comprehend all eligible men
not desiring the insurance feature.
The holding of the Worlds Co.
lumbian Exposition in 1893, COM
memorating the Discovery of Ameri-
ca by Columbus, attracted attention
to the Society, and gave it great
impetus. The organization of State
Councils proved to be very helpful
force in the development of the or
ganization, for it called to leader
ship in the several states strong and
enthusiastic men, whose work
proved to be of the greatest possible
advantage to the Order.

No further plan of organization,
however, was adopted and they ad-
journed pending action of the Con-
necticut legislature upon their appli-
cation for charter, which was grant
ed March 29th, 1882.
On May 18th. 1882. the Supreme
Committee granted the first Subord
mate Council Charter. This Council
was located in the City of New Hav-
en-, and was named San Salvador
Council No. /.
The necessity of some plan for the
offering and control of subordinate
Councils now engaged the attention
of the Supreme Committee, which
finally decided upon the following:
Grand knight
Deputy Grand Knight
Chancellor
Warden
Treasurer
Corresponding Secretary
Financial Secretary
Chaplain
Advocate
Physician
Lecturer
Trustees (three).
At this time the Supreme Commit
tee exemplified the ceremonials of
the Society for the new Subordinate
Council. The ceremonials consisted
of a first degree, second degree,
and a third degree, together with
an elaborate presentation of charter
to Subordinate Councils. These GER
emonials received favorable COM
ment from the newly made members,
which resulted in great deal of en-
thusiasm locally for the newly
launched knights of Columbus.
The plan of developing the or
ganization from this time on was one
of organizing subordinate councils in
the different cities and towns
throughout the State of Connecticut,
and it was not until April 18th,
1885, when a subordinate council
was established at Westerly. R. l.,
under the name Narragansett Coun-
Gil No. 81, that the influence of the
Order was extended beyond the bor-
ders of the parent state.
The original organizers had no
larger vision Of the Society's future
than that it's usefulness would be
confined to the State of Connecticut.
Their imagination did not for one
moment picture the great part this
Society would in future play in the
social life of the Catholic men of
America.
At this time the Supreme Com
mittee enacted law providing that
a Supreme Council should be estab-
lished, composed of the Supreme
Committee and delegates from Sub
ordinate Councils, each Council to
be entitled to one delegate for each
so members.
This method, after a time, proved
embarrassing, because of the num-
Der of delegates it provided in the
Supreme Council, and resulted on
May 14th, 1886, in the Supreme
Council resolving itself into the
Board of Government" this Board

ings, Reverend M. ]. McGivney was
selected as committee of one to
visit Boston, Mass, and request the
Massachusetts, Catholic Order of
Foresters to grant these gentlemen
in New Haven charter for local
branch of their Society. The petit
ton was refused, and Father Nc
Givney returned to report the result
of his mission. Not disheartened in
the least by his failure, he set forth
with greater determination than
ever to put into effect plans which he
himself had constructed for the es-
tablishment of a society of Catholic
men.
On March 29th. 1882, the Con-
necticut legislature granted
charter to
Rev. M. j. McGivney
Rev. P. P. Lawlor
James T. Mullen
C. T. Driscoll
DR.. M. c. O'Connor
Daniel Colwell
William M. Geary
John T. Kerrigan
Michael Curran.
These men are justly entitled to
the honor of having designed and
planned the ceremonials and de-
grees of the Order. However, the
distinction of having selected the
name "Knights of Columbus" for the
society must go to Rev. M. ]. Nc
Givney, who from the start was un-
questionably the leading spirit in
laying the foundation upon which
this splendid Catholic fraternity has
been erected.
The specific purpose of the Or
ganization was to establish a Cath
olic Fraternal Society that would be
an uplifting influence in the lives
of Catholic men socially; the
bringing together of successful Cath
olic men to the end that they might,
through their united efforts, ad-
vance the cause of Catholic charity
and education, and still further that
they might, through their insurance
department, furnish at least tenn
porary financial aid to the families
of deceased members.
On February End, 1882, the or
ganizers met and established them
selves as the Supreme Committee,
composed of the following Supreme
Officers:
James T. Mullen, Supreme
knight.
John T. Kerrigan. Deputy Su-
preme Knight.
Rev. M. ]. McGivney, Su-
preme Council Corresponding
