place last night at their hall "on South
Front streets where a very fine pro
gramme of musx. etc., was -rendered.
At 8 o'clock the exercises began with
mo opening ode." by the Lodge, which
was followed by prayer by the Prelate
Miss Minnie Jones then delighted her
hearers with a piano solo. The next
number was the installation of the offi
cers of the Conclave ly the Grand In
spector General, Thos. J, Gore, and the
Deputy Supreme Archon, K; W. Jewell.
The following were the officers installed,
W. C-T. J. Gore.

panio solo by Miss Minnie Jones, and a
Brief History of the Order," by Mr. K.
W. Jewell. The order, Mr. Jewell said,
was introduced in America in I85i by
Dr. Alexander L Sanders. It motto is
"Wisdom, Truth and Benevolenc;."
He also explained very fully the order's
benefits; if a brother dies his wife or
family gets 850 for funeral, expenses, or
if a brother's wife dies he gets 825
funeral expenses. Eery week that a
brother is sick, he gets 5.00 He went
on to state that an insurance benefit had
been added ty which a member - could
either insure his own life or the life of
nis wife, . r;
One of the most delightful numbers
on the programme was the singing of
Mr. K. W. Jewell. His selections were
the best comic songs of the day.
The next number was the Initiation
of the candidate," which was the most
laughable feature of the night. The
candidate (Mr. J. T. Burke alias "Simon
Cruo") was put tbrougb the degrees by
-Dog of the Outside Watch," John
Knight, and his tribe of yelling braves.
The name of the officer who presided
oyer this farce initiation the re oarter
couldn't exactly catch, but the part was
taken by Mr. Thos. J. Gore. This
burlesque initiation kept the audience
convulsed with laughter. I
The closing ode was sung by the con
clave.: r ;
After prayer by Prelate W. R. Lin
strom, the Grand Inspictor General, in
a fitting speech, invited the large num
ber of visiting ladies and gentlemen to
the rear rooms, where on large tables ice
cream, cake, sandwiches, coffee and
confectioneries were arranged and in
profusion. The regular- members were
extremely courteous and saw that no
one left without partaking freely.
Rev. Mr. Kramer, of Brooklyn Bap
tist church, was called upon and made
an appropriate toast, and was followed
by several of the members. At about
