A Morutiiint'H Opinion.
Mr. John Cnnighur , n merchant at Carag-
har , Fulton county , Ohio , says that St.
Patrick's Pills nro the best selling pills he han
dles. The reason is that they produce a pleas
ant cathartic effort nnd are curtain and thor
ough In tholr action. Try them ivhon you
want n reliable cathartic. For aulo by all
druggUU.

IMPERIAL COUNCIL OF THE SHRINERS.
Next Session to Bo in Omnhn Now
York Masonic Grand Ijodgo Ad
dress of the Supreme Chancel
lor Kuighta of Pythias.
Members of the Mystio Shrine , or , moro
property , the Ancient Arable Order of the
Nobles of the Mystio Shrine , are rejoicing in
the taut that the next session of the Imueriul
coui.cll , the governing body of the order , Is to
moot in Omaha naxt Juno.
The session this year was hold nt Niagara
Falls , Judge Gustuvo Anderson being the
delegate to that meeting fromTtuiglor temple
of this city. It was through the herculean
.efforts of the judge that tno next sosslon was
secured for Omaha , and there Is great rejoic
ing In the tents of the faithful of Tangier
ever the result of the diplomacy of the im
perial potentate.
Thu imperial council is. composed of some
of thu most prominent members of the Ma
sonic fraternity , and the facttli.it thu next
session will bo held in Omaha means thut this
city will bo the scene of such festivities ns
weronovor witnessed hero before. In fact the
city will assume u brilliant carminenuu
during the mooting , the otfoct of which will
bo discernible toi some tlmo after the event
has transpired.
The Shrine occupies n unique aim 301110-
whut annni ilous position among the secret HO-
clotles of this country. It Is not n fraternal
organisation In the strict sense of the term ,
there is no Masonry in It , nor has it any con
nection with Masonry , beyond the fnot that
its membership is recruited exclusively from
the commnndories of Knights Templar nnd
the various consistories of the land. It Is not
a benevolent organization , and the chief ob
ject of its existence is to create fun , uxcito
risibility , promote good-fellowship , and min
ister to the social wunta of Its members. The
rather rude attempt to trace the history of
the order to some oriental source and give its
rites nud ritual the semblance of antiquity
has provided an excellent burlesque on .somo
of the older fraternities that claim to trace
tnolr origin to the Gurdsn of Eden or some
prehistoric period. The Shrine , wnutuvor
there I * good or bad about it , is n YatiKoo in
vention. It is purely an American order and
exists nowhere else. There me no temples
or bodies ot ttio order outsldo the Uaitod
Stuioj , except Hamusos umiplo in Toronto ,

of Uochoiter was the first temple orgnnUed
outside of Now York , and was really
the first temple to confer the

and popularity , until now , when n temple of
the order is lound in nearly every city of
prominence In the United Status. There nro
llfty-clght temples of the order scattered
ever the North American continent , which
have now an actual membership of nearly
15,000 nobles on the roster.
u. or r.
Supreme Chancellor George P. Shaw of
Eau Claire , Wis. , has issued his address to
the order. In accordance- with the custom
which decrees that midway between sessions
of the supreme ledge the supreme chancellor
shull Issue an address to the ordor. The following -
lowing excerpts are made from this excellent -
lent document : r
"Tho order outers the twenty-eighth year
of its existence , with a splendid army of
moro than , ' 100,000 bravo men and true ,
marching steadily forward under the trl-
colored banner of Pythian knighthood. Ono
year ago 2 Kt,000 name.s were enrolled upon
the rasters of membership throughout the
supreme jurisdiction. Within the past
twelve months this number has boon in
creased to t07,000. ! malting an Increase dur
ing the year of 41,000 or about ouo-sixth.
"Tho financial reports of the order show
that the supreme lodge is on n sound llnafc
clal basis , that its Interests are bolng skillfully -
fully cared for and faithfully guarded by the
ofllcors upon whom devolve these responsi
bilities. The reports show nn amount on do-
posit greater by $7,000 than the amount on de
posit in any procouing year immediately fol
lowing n supreme ledge session. "
"Tho dovclopr.iont of the uniform rank Is n
marvel , and the record shows an Increase of
153 now divisions during the past year , with
a total membership exceeding ! I. > , OUO , being
nn incrc.iso during the year of ( i,0 % ) members ,
or ever ono-llfth. Taking Into con.sldur.ulon
the reaction usual to tint you * following nsu- '
prcmo lodiro session , tno fuct that the record
of the past year has eclipsed that of any pre
vious year's work .slnco the establishment of
the uniform rank , spo.iks volumes for the en
thusiasm and energy ills played by oftlcers nnd
sir knights , nnd for the military methods em
ployed and the systematic and persistent ef
forts which are belli ? made by them to plant
the banner of the uniform rank In every part
of tbo supreme jurisdiction , "
With reference to the Endowment rank
the supreme chancellor states that it Is in a
healthy condition and is now entering upon
a year of unparalleled prosperity. Ho pro-
die Us that before the expiration of the limit
tlxod by the supromu ledge for Insurance or
ganizations to discontinue tlo ) use of the
tinmo of the order the loyalty of the oillcoro
and members of such organizations will
prompt them to obey the mandate of the supreme
premo ledge and discontinue- use of nch _ .
uiimo.
The castle halls of Cincinnati nro becoming
alive to the Importance of Lmildlnif u Pythian
co-stle. In that city , and as consl'lorablo en
thusiasm has been developed on the subject ,
It Hoains probable thut a Pythian structure
will bo erected In thut city at no distant day.
The grand lodge of Now York hold IU nn-
iunl meeting in New York city , commencing
nu the 3d In.st. This was the 110th annual
communication. It was the largest assembly
if Masons that ever convened at an annual
urisdiotlnn. The Emplro stain nov has 731
ivorkmg lodges with an aggravate inembur-
shlpof 77,000 in co * < l standing. The contro
versy , on a Jurisdictions ! question , wtileli lias
existed butwooa the grand lodges of Now
York and New Jersey was announced as
'ruternally settled , nnd uimcablu relations
restored. The report of the grand secretary
and treasurer und the address of tbo grand
mister showed Masonry In a prosperous con
dition throughout the alato und harmony prevailing -
vailing every whoro. Of lutoyoirs the ulec-
lon of grand ofllocrs has always proved a
rather tame affair , and as a general rule ,
where u uliango is now nmdo , the ofllcors as
cend the fraternal ladder In regular rotation
without much opposition. Such was the lasb
session. Most Worshipful John \V. \ Vroo-
nan declined a ro-nlectlon and William
jhourer of Brooklyn was utmnlmously
elected grand master. E. M. L. Khlers was
re-elected grand secretary and John J. CJor-
uan was ro-olectca grand treasurer.
Thu next meeting of tbo eraud priory of
Canada will seemingly prove an Important
oue. Thu question of adopting thu American
ritual will ocoupy the attention of the body.
and It now seems probnblo that the Unltea-
itatos work will bo adopted with u trlnitar-
un addition , whuluvur tlmt may mean.
Covert lodge No. 11 will ccluurata ILstwon-
