Local membors of the Ladles of tho
Maccabees of tho World linvo called
attention to tho confusion which Becrns
to exist in some quarters regarding the
Ladles of tho Maccabees of tho World.
The Ladies of the Maccabees of tlio
World was established in Port Huron,
Mich., in 1892. It was no connection
with any other Order of woman, being
associated only with tho Knights of tho
Maccabees of the World, a men's order
on adequato rates, to which order it is
co-ordinate. Its management ii and
has always been wholly by women and
its funds have always been entirely
separate from thoso of any other ordor.
It is a voluntary association, incor
porated under the laws of the stato
of Michigan, and is licensed and doing
business in fifty-four states and prov
inces of the United States and Canada,
of which cloven absolutely require tho
collection of National Fraternal Con

The Chautauqua Assembly,
Tho second assembly of tho North
Platto Chautauqua opened Sunday
under most favorable conditions, and if
the attendance on the opening day is a
guage for tho days to follow tho as
sembly will prove a financial success
of its success as an educntional and
entertaining feature there is no ques
tion. The attendance at the after
noon session was 545, at the evening
session 961, a total of over 1,500 for
tho day.
The afternoon Bession opened with a
half hour concert by Lipski's Hun
garian orchestra, an organization that
is a most excellent one, and the selec
tions were enthusiastically received by
the audience. Following the concert,
President Neville, of the Chautauqua
directory, made brief remarks concern
ing the financial experience of last
year, and tho prospects oi tho present
assembly, which he declared wore
brighter than tliosu of 1009, inasmuch
as nearly double the number of season
tickets had been sold. Ho then
introduced Arthur McMurray, of
Ames, Iowa, the platform
manager, who briefly stated that to bo
a success ho must have the co-operation
of the public and tiis he felt nssurcd
would be given him. The remarks by
Mr. McMurray yere such as to win tho
kindly feeling of the audience. Ho
then introduced tho lecturer of the
afternoon, L. J. Beauchamp, whoso
subject "Tho Sunny Side of Life,"
proved one of tho most enjoyable ever
given on the local platform. For an
hour and a half ho mixed wit, philo
sophy and pathos together, dealing with
the live problems of the day, with
particular stress on divorce and in
temperance, and wonderful increase in
crime and in the number of murders,
in both of the latter, he declared, the
United States led all other countries
The speaker handled the different sub
jects without gloves and sent some
pretty hot shots into tho ranks of tho
professed Christians who shunned their
duty.
Father Daly, head of a boys' home
in Milwaukee, was tho lecturer at the
evening session, and Jhe subject on
which he spoke, "The Homeless Boy
and the Juvenile Court," proved
intensely interesting and pathetic.
He related his personal experience
with the outcasts and the unfortu
nates, the conditions which ho
had found in tho tenement districts of
the large cities, and the part which
liquor played in tho miserable condi
tions which existed. He mado a plea
for the more careful training of the
boy, so that ho would not err and go
astray. The speaker's statistics as to
the number of boys of tender age in tho
penal institutions were certainly sur
prising to many of his hearers. The
lecture was a most interesting ono
throughout.
Yesterday afternoon L. B. Wicker-
sham delivered his lecture on "Day
Dreams," beforo a large audience, this
subiect beine substituted for "When
Chickens Come Homo to Roost." In
tho course of his remarks tho speaker
gave much good advice as to parents,
and especially fathers, taking their
bovs into their confidence to treat
them as chums, and to encourage them
in their work.
At the close of this lecture Miss
Norton, of Chicago, gave a lecture and
demonstration on "GoodjCookery'This
took place in one of tho smaller tents
which proved entirely inadequate, as so
many ladies were in attendance that
they could not get within hearing
distance of the demonstrator. Today
and thereafter Miss Norton will give
her lecture and demonstration in tho
big tent.
Last evening the attraction was the
grand concert by the Lipski orchestra
and it certainly proved a treat to tho
big audience present.
The forenoon at the grounds is taken
ud bv tho teachers' institute, which is
proving a pleasant place for the exor
cises. Tho program for each day
covers a largo scope of school work
nnd the 300 teachers and nroapectiv
teachers in attendance are evincing
great interest.

The Ladies of tho Maccabees of tho
World receives the respect and confi
dence of every member nnd of tho
public for it is a sound financial in
stitution with funds deposited in the
Commercial Bank of Port Huron
amounting to nearly four and one-half
millons of dollars. These funds aro in
the form of high grade interest-bearing
municipal bonds.
Tho Association is widely known
among business men trom const 10
coast as a responsible business institu
tion with a high standing as to financial
tability, fair dealing, and honesty in
all of its relations. A letter recently
written by Hon. James V. Barry, In
surance Commissioner for Michigan, in
response to an inquiry with regard to
the Order, is a Btrong endorsement of
tho society's reliablity:
Dear Madam: -Answering your in
quiry of tho 3rd inst. permit mo to say
that Tho Ladies of tho Maccabees of
the World is financially ono of the
strongest fraternal sociotics doing busi
ness in this state. On December 31st
last, this society had admitted assets
of $4,310,911, and liabilities of $130,022.
The larger portton of tho society's in
vested assets Is in high grade municipnl
bonds. Very respectfully,
James V. Baiuiy,
Michigan Commissioner of Insurance.
Mrs. Lillian M. Hollistor, of Detroit,
and Miss BInn M. West of Port Huron,
Mich., aro respectively Supremo Com
mander nnd Supremo Record Keeper
of The Ladles of tho Maccabees of thef
World, and to their leadership may bo
ascribed much of tho success which has
come to tho Association. As early as
1895 only three years after tho society
was organized, theso olllcors began to
instruct their members on tho danger
of "cheap rates" and the campaign of
education was kept up without inter
ruption thereafter, making it clear to
all why the collection of adequato rates
was necessary forlho pcrpotuity of any
Bocioty offering life protection. In
1897, the accumulation of a reserve be
gan, and bteps were taken from time to
time after that to increase tho reserve
so that it should bo sufilccnt to care for
tho "promises to pay" of tho order.
As above stated, this reserve now
amounts to $4,300,000 and is rolling up
interest at tho rate of ovor $170,000
annually. In other words, just the in
terest on this reserve brings in each
year $50,000 more than ono assessment
on the whole membership.
This order stands by itself at tho
head of all orders for women, and is a
tho original woman's order to adopt
adequato rates and build up a reserve
to protect its contracts. It is first in
fraternity, first in stability, first in tho
hearts of its members.
