Entertainment A Success

The free entertainment given by
Minnehaha Tribe, No. %, |. O. R.
NJ, in Center Hall last Thursday
night, the 26th, was one of the
most successful nights of enjoy
ment and pleasure ever undertaken
i'll this town. The committee on
this entertainment worked hard for
it's success, as well as the tribe 60
ing to a great expense to show the
public what the Red Men Of this
town could produce for them. We
were disappointed in not being to
have Mr.. w. w. Knowles of Will
mington with us, as had been ad-
vertised, but he was taken sick
on Tuesday and was not able to de-
liver the most interesting address
arranged for, but Brother F.. NJ
Smith and Brother g. w. Griffin
interested us very nicely with
short talks, telling the value of
Redmanship and the benefits deriv-
ed therefrom by being a member Of
the Red Men, as well as the benefits
for sick and death that had been
paid out since the institution Of this
tribe, twenty-nine years ago in
1885, which Brother Smith explain
ed as follows
Death benefits for members, 81 900;
death benefits for members wives,
$3.50; sick benefits paid out, $15,
$50; grand total, $18, 800.
This is an average of about $63S
Il year for tWenty-nine years. This
tribe at the present time has a
membership of 226, and is in first
class standing financially, and as
Brother Griffin extended a hearty
welcome to the Pale Faces (non-
members) to join this tribe, we
hope they will study the matter
thoroughly, and any information
they desire can be received from
any Of the members of this tribe.
We hope all those present enjoyed
themselves, regardless Of the one or
two disappointments and the neces-
sary changing of the programme,
which could not be avoided, account
of our comedians missing their
train. We thank the public in gen.
elal for the appreciation they
showed us as could be seen by the
well crowded house.
