TIUMAN DIVISION" U. R. K. P. . held
its regular business meeting and drill at
its quarters Tuesday night. The com
mittee on by-laws made a report and
submitted the result of their labors.
The rules are decidedly stringent-and
their force and character rolleet credit
upon the committee. Trojan is one of.
the youngest divisions , but it has had
the good fortune to bo olllcored by an
enthusiastic and enterprising set of
Pythiuns. Captain Spencer is a
thorough disciplinarian and eager for
the buccesb of his company.
*
A WHITKII in an eastern journal is
endeavoring to stir up H discussion in
Pythian ranks in regard to Justus II.
Rathbono , the founder of the order.
"The credit of the progress and pros
perity of the Knights of Pythias is not , "
this writer claims , "duo to Mr. Rath
bono , as ho deserted the order at the
time it needed succormpit and did not
return to its ranks until it had secured
u firm foothold as ti secret organiza
tion. "
The attacks upon Mr. Rathbono have
been frequent and this latest one is per
haps a revival of the old assaults. What
ever may bo tha discussions aroused
Mr. Rathbono seems to have the love
and esteem of thu members of his order
and if these be satisfied to do him honor
as the originator of their order it is not
plain what matter it is to outsiders.
Factsthoso stubborn thiiigswiU always
stand in the way of depriving Rathbono
of this credit. " ' Hw originated the order ,
prewired thoi firkt ritual and was the
tlrst chancellor of the first lodge in ex
istence. Two months alter the organi
zation of the order , Mr. Rathbono , it is
true , withdrew from the membership ol
the order , "for reasons Inter fully and
satisfactorily explained" as all Pythian
authorities agree. Two years from his
withdrawal ho again became a member ,
and the progress of the order thereafter
wan decidedly noticeable. Shortly af
ter Rathbono's withdrawal the grand
lodge of the order ceased to ex
ist , Washington , the maiden lodge
piussed away , and in August , IBM ,
there was but one lodge of the order in
existence. In this condition the ordci
continued until two days after Mr ,
Rathbouo again entered the rankswhon
through his efforts the grand lodge was
reorganized and the organization began
ltd stops towards progress.

How Ho in Put Up In CaiiH anil Sold to
u ConfliliiiK I'liulio.
"There are tricks in all trades but
ourb , " remarked a gentleman familiar
with business , "but thcho men who put
up oyntora lake the cake. In the llrnt
place they can put aa much Missouri
river water in their cans lib they please
and no ono can tell Iho difference from
oulside appearances. They can put any
qualily of oyatora they heo fil iulo Iho
cans and cap Ihom 'ueleels , ' Iho good
houbowifo takes them in good faith , aup-
posing that she is getting a good ar
ticle until tiho opouu them up. The cans
are all alike but the different grades of
oysters are distinguished by the caps
with which the cans are Kcnled up.
Retail grocers like to get something
that they can hell cheap and make the
purchaser believe ho is polling u big
elrivo. To meet Ibis demand oven first
class houscsof national reputation are apt
to put up snide goods , but they put them
in plain cans and leave off their own
"Selects" here that
name. are put up
can bo retailed at ii5c a can ; these nro
what are called "snaps" at Baltimore.
All first-class houses thai put up regu
lar brands have a uniform fill , just HO
many oybtors going into each can.
There is a good deal of "Bhonanegau"
in bulk oysters. Everything that is too
poor to bo Ubed for filling cans is Ihrown
in a heap nnd bold as bulk oysters.
When Iho cans begin lo smell , showing
lhal Iho oyslors are getting stale , the
cans are opened up and their contents
also thrown in with the bulk oyslors.
Those make "Green Poinls , " nnd are in
much demand ut boarding houses and
chop houbCH. The only wafo way for the
buyer is to patronize firbt-chiKS retail
houses that carry good gooeln. The oys
ters put up by Freeman & Shaw , thut
bear the horse shoo brand , arc always
reliable in fill and quality. The good
house wife should insist that the grocer
get that brand if ho IB not already
handling it.
CKUMA.N-A.MKK1OAN EDUCATION.
The Kfforts Hclng Mmlo to Scotiro it la
TlilN City.
The lady members of the German-Amor-
lean School association , whose ctTorta In behalf -
half of the school on liarnoy street , la which
they are intere.stcd , are preparing forunothcr
uniquecnlerlalnincnt as means of making
the institution a fn-nnd success. They pro
pose to give a grand fair in Gormania hall ,
commencing next Monday evening , Novem
ber 2 , and continuing for three nights. They
have already made arrangomcnls for achoico
programme each night , nnd , besides , have
themselves been busy for several months
past InSuaking fancy articles of both usu and
crnnmcntatlon , which may readily bo found
of value in the bachelor's apartment as well
as in the homo of the well-established family.
Those articles will lese none of their Intrinsic )
value because they have been made by the
deft and willing hands of some of the
best-known , most rospccte-d married nnd
beautiful young Gcrnitm ladles In the city.
The object of the fair , the conservation of a
German-American school , is woithy thq
patronage which it will doubtless recslvo
from all classes.
