His rciimms were embalmed and U'ken to the masonic temple where they wore viewed Wednesday afternoon mid TJiuntdny mornIng - Ing by all of his old friends in well as mem bers of the masonic order.

Llnlugcr had charge of the exorcises connected with the funeral. After music by Mr. Saxby and the scriptural load Inland prayer by Kev. John Williams the funeral ceremony was gone through by "lion , ( jcorgo W. Llnnigorund the brethren present. Brother Llnlngcr thru suld : "Urcthreii , wouro called together to-day to inomu the loss of one of the landmarks of Freemasonry. Htothcr Korln Sillier has been u standfast Frccnin on for over sdjity 11 vo yciiiM ; was ono of the founders of Capitol lodge , No. U. In this city. It Is very rij'ht and proper that wo glvo oxpiession to our feelings on this oc casion. " Mr. Bowcn was thi'ii asked to sjicnk of the dcpuitud luothcr. Mr. Bowen spoke brlll > us follows : " 'The young may , the old must tlio- the wisest knoweth not how soon'wo ; yield to the Inevitable , bid our western brother good-bye , uuletly mourn his absence from oar midst , his cheery words , his char itable view.s , his wlso council ! ) and his abid ing faith In the fatherhood of Cod ! and tlio brotherhood of man ; wo who lernuin will cherish his memory , emulate his virtues , roudonp bis faults , and hold his i coord up to tmr jowiKur bretbrrn us one who was faith ful to the lust faithful with no weak faith , but u strong , vigorous man and Freemason , who held stionj. , uggiessivo opinions ami vigorously upheld them , but always tcnipoied them with the over-spreading cement of brothoHj love nnd affection. And as wo who hiivo known him hero forever over thiity yuan ) , as we. too , puss away , oven his memory will bo forgotten but his works remain ; would you behold BOIIIO of them , look around you ; and yet beyond your vision an ) deeds of charity und pure beneficence cence- distress relieved , sorrow assuaged , help extended that you cannot see ; oven with his brethren of the mystiotie , his right hand know not that which Jiis left liiiiul.jlid. A landmark Is erased , u pillar fallen ; for two-thirds of a century our brother 1ms been u Free Mneoii , aud in tlio earlier duysot his membership the mm of popul.ir favor Hid not shiuo an brightly on our society as It does to-day ; when a young craftsman our brother had to defend himself from pcisiiml violence at tlio bauds of the enemies of our fraternity ; ilrm In the belief that our society was the noblest of human institutions , lie lived to see tlio clouds of intolerance and the storms of op pression pass away , and lie was permitted to nee Freemasonry the most widespread of nil soeietiiM , respected even by its enemies. " I ( rothcr ylllium Cloburno was then called UKii | to speak of liiother Miller nsn member of the Nebraska Veteran Freemasons and the president of the order at time-of tils death. After a beautiful peroration ho said : "Our Urotlicr Lorln Miller , sixty-seven years a Master Mason , president of tlio No- hraska association of Veteran Freemasons , muster of the royal uich Knight Templar iiii.l master of thu royal secret liessllcutln tlmtcoflln. He was not .illustrious among the ambitious seekers of popular honors or for wc.dtli to bo obtained honestly if practi cable. Ho preferred to walk the path of an liono.st. industrious and peaceful life. A limn of clear intellect unclouded by Intem perance or excess , of sterling honesty , of purpose nnd practice , of simple , kindly ways nnd unseltish aims. No man in this commu nity can say that the dead man lying bora died rich bocuuso hois poor. Mourn not my biotlire.li for the dead , but rather mourn for the living who see In death no promise of u hereafter , who bellovo that this lifo is allot man. " Mr. Cloburno closed his eulogy with im appropriate and nicnly rounded poem. Brother J. J. Points was next called upon in behalf of Omalm Chapter of Hoyal Arch Masons , and spoke , hi brief us follows : "Worshipful Sir , Hrethron and Friends : It is hard to realb-o that our deceased brother had his birth In the lirst mouth of the flrUyoar of tlio nineteenth century ; that tiowas a resident of our continent while Florida , Louisiana and the whole southwest worn under tlio dominion of foreign flags , uiul befoi o tlio great northwest territory , Within whoso borders our prosperous city now stands , had been trodden by Anglo- Saxon feet : that ho was a prattling boy when the Corsica ! ! , with the world at his lect , on the anniversary of his greatest victory , was crowned emperor in the most magniticent euplUil in Europe ; that ho was n stalwart youth eapablo of bearing arms when the sun of Austcrlitz sunk In endless night behind the sodden hills of Waterloo ; that "by the rlcht of being a man , " ho had for years been n voter before Jefferson and Adams had jmssed from oartb. What opportunities are offered to n lifo which covers such a span of years and touches so much history. It Is the testimony ol tlio.su who know him best that in his day ho \ \ us not content merely to absorb the In fluences by which ho was surrounded , but that ho was at the sumo time n radiant con- tro of power. It was not my fortune to know him until , for him , aspiration had passed Into nchlovo- incut , character had built reputation and Im paired function had In a measure obscured faculty nnd our brother was known as a very old man. It has been said that ho novcr attained and purluijw never aspired to high ollleiul posi tion. May not this fact bo placed to his creditIn / his rugged Integrity this man sat In the forum of conscience not as nil attor ney with talents to bo subsidized by wrong which should bid highest , but as a judge with un eye to discover mid n courage to pro claim the truth. Urother Miller was no trlllcr with words , but throughout lifo it was his custom to call u spade a spade , n coward a coward , and n thief a thief. It is meet that the ashes of our brother should bo returned to that Im perial state in which his best years were spout , that state which so lltly s.vmboli/es the growth nnd the glory of our common : > untry , und with so many of wiioso gifted sons ho was intimately acquainted. " Brother Liumgcr then remarked that our deceased brother was also n Knight Tem plar , A member of Mount Calvary Com- mnndory No.I , and that the Kov. Mr. House would iimko a few remarks in this connec tion. He spoke In brief ; Our ancient and honorable order of Knight Tomplurlsm was established on Christian ro- lion and virtue , the great corner-stone of which is the belief in the bon of God and the resurrection of the dead. Wo nro assisted from faith in the truths taught In that pro- clous book. Consolation In the hour of iloath. Eternal happiness in the IIfu to come. Our brother loved masonry ana the many virtues of lifo. As wo build upon our foundation let us ro- tncuibcr wo nro not In the presence of death , but of life eternal. Our brother knows moro of lifo now.tlmu In all of the years of his past lifo.So So may wo follow In his footsteps as ho fol lowed the Muster , und at last receive an abundance of everlasting and eternal lifo. Ill-other Llninpor brought the services to a cioso by the very striking sentiment : "Let brotherly love prevail , and every social nnd rioral virtue cement us.

Barucs of Philadel phia , of tlio order of the Knights of tfio Goldci : Eagle , is in correspondence with gentlemen in this city in regard to the Insti tution of n lodge of that order in this city. Tlio order is but llttlo known in tills city , only by the few men who have belonged to It in other cities. It is now in successful op eration in twenty-three states. Since Jan uary 1 , ISS-t , its growth has been unprece dented In the history of kindred organiza tions. During that period the order was intro duced into eighteen states , 'JSi ! castles were institiicd and the membership increased over thirty-six thousand. The present membership of the entire order is over forty-olio thousand , divided among 415 castles. ns follows : Pennsylvania , 2Tt castles ; Maryland ] ; Massachusetts , 11 ; New Jersey , ! ! 0 ; Dulawaro 1(5 ( ; New York , 0 ; Ohio , W ; Georgia. 4 ; West Virginia , 1 ; Dis trict of Columbia , 5 ; Missouri , 4 ; Michigan , i ) ; Nebraska. - ; California , 5 ; Colorado , M ; New Hampshire , ; ) ; Iowa , Connecticut , In diana , Illinois , Virginia , Alabama and Lou isiana , ouo each. The features of the Knights of the Golden Englo are bouctlclal , benevolent , social and somi-rnilitury. The order was founded in Baltimore , Md. , February 0 , 1873. The Supreme Castle was organized January 22 , t"JT8. It is based upon tlio most liberal principals consistent with future prosperity , nnd is especially adapted for all , bo they rich or poor. It has for its motto "Fidelity Valor and Honor " , , , u trinity of graces which are taught in its beautiful ritual , which Is perhaps unexcelled for beauty and Imprtsslvcnoss. The ritualistic worK consists of thrco de grees , viz. : First , or Pilgrims' ; Second , or Knights' ; und Third , or Crusaders' Degree. Tlio thrco degrees are symbolic of u'soldicr battling for his faith. Ho Is first a pilgrim , then a knight and finally u crusader. He has for iiis aim that of a Christain warrior strug gling to gain the Immortal crown. Tlio The Knights of Pythias order claim to have the giant man of the country in their mem bership. The Pythian King gives the fol lowing biography of him : Urother John Hanson Craig , of whom an excellent likeness - ness is given on this page , Is undoubtedly the heaviest man upon whom the three ranks of the order have over been conferred. Ho was born in Town City , la. , nnd his place of res idence Is Danville , Ind. Ho weighs in the neighborhood of seven hundred pounds , and is part of tlio attraction of n show of which ho is proprietor. Ho came to Join the order at Philadelphia through an acquaintance with Urothor George Moore , of Adherent lodge , No. 124 , und was admitted with forty-thrco others on December , 1875. On April 15 , 18iO , ho was presented with a gold medal by Adherent ledge as heing tlio heaviest mem ber of the order. Brother Craig's grand father was killed at tlio battle of Hunker Hill. His grandfather , on his mother's side , was Dr. Hanson Catlott , assistant surgeon general of the U. S. A. \Vont. In response to the petition of several wes tern jurisdictions for it visit from the major general of the U. H. , says the Spur , General Carnahau under orders from tlio supreme lodco started August" ! to visit all the states nnd territories west of the Missouri river. Ho will go via the Northern Pacific route , visiting first Montana , Washington territory und Oregon. After visiting the divisions of California and attending the encampment of the California brigade ha will visit the di visions nt Nevada , returning via tlio Union Pacific visiting Utah , Wyoming and Cole rado. This will consume all the time at pres ent which ho can spare from headquarters. Ho will afterwards visit Dakota und other states of the west. . Tlio trip will bo made exclusively In the Interests of the order and the Uniform Ilank and caniot help but rn- sult In now enthusiasm and largo additions to the order and the rank In the wost.

Hardly a week foes by that HOIIIO distressed family is not made the re cipient of the watchful euro and generous aid of this Samaritan brotherhood , and deep is tlio grutltudo of hundreds throughout tlio land that there is such an institution us the Independent Order of Foresters. As to the growth of the order , the increase during the last year or two njjo has been simply marvelous. In the lust five years there have been 123 courts built up whoso memuerslilp extends into the hundreds. The latest renort gives the number of courts in the order nt 104 , nud tlio total membership us approximating fifteen thousand. On August la In each ye.ir , known u "Forester's Day" jn the order , u general celebration is engaged in by those of the organisation who uieublo to absent themselves from business.
