THE KASSIDEAN KNIGHTS , ( They Institute a liodgo With n Good lloll of Member * Death Benefits Forester * Celebra tion General NOWH. The Kngnldcan rorbvcr two weeks Mr. E. T. Koltn , deputy grand organizer of the order of Kassldean knights , of Kansas City , has been in thin city Working for the establishment of u new lodge of that order in this city. His effort * have been most successful , an a yesterday morning Dr. A. Gilbert , D.D. , LL.D. , of Dubwjuc , grand hlorophant of the order , arrived in the city to institute the lodge , which has been organized and named St. James Priory , No. 5. The order , which has for its motto Unity , Toleration , Charity , is a revival of the Ancient Institution of the Chasldlm the "Pietists , " called also "Knights of the Tern- plo at Jerusalem , " because they wore 'specially commissioned to keep the porches and approaches of that holy erection Inastato of repair. They wore also styled the Assideimn and were "mighty men In Israel" as late us the time of the patriotic Maccabeus. True to their country , their religion ana their vows , they were the ilrst to come to the help of the valiant Mattathtas when ho inaugurated that wonderful and successful revolt against for eign tyranny , which 1ms few parallels in history. After the death of Judas Maccabeus , about 150 B. C. , the order withdrew into the isso- Intcd parts of the then known world and were but little heard of for years. fl ( TJii About one hundred and fifty years after ii the Old Dispensation had Riven place to thu IV Now , the Order nearly disappears from his tory. It had , as the tradition Informs tis , become very much modilled umtor the inllu- enco of Christianity , and accepted Jesus as being "Him that was to conio. " The A. E. U. Is not an "Inuuranco Society. " Still the authors of the rennnlsconuo hnvo deemed it necessary to engraft upon its or ganic laws the modern features of stated "benefits , " which have been popularl/cd by that humane society , Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The order ban throe grades , which are con ferred in Priories of this obedience. They ore named respectively Neoplijto Kassldean , Associate Kussidean ana Knight Companion , There are , likewise , thrco honorary gr.ules , named Kiiluhls of the East , Knights of thu Sword and Trowel , and Hnrndlm , or Hulcr. The love of country , of toleration , of frco thought and fret ) speech ; hatred of oppres sion , and of the tyranny of ill advised popular opinion ; personal chastity ; fraternal unity nud equality ; reverence for Adonai and his commandments all these , and yet other , are lessons our ritual inculcates Impressively. The charity we teach is that form of benev olence which reproaches all who are in need or distress , w herovcr wo may llml thorn , with compassionate heart and open hand , moro especially icgurdliig thn deeds of the frutrcs of this obedience , thoh widows and orphans. The Intttitutloij of the order in this city last night was under the most favorable aus pices and its list of members is made up of the best men of the city.

Judge Lubke , of Missouri , decided the in/ torpleadlng case of the American Legion of Honor vs Frank Biebcr et al. , soys thb Jour nal of that order , In which ho reviewed an intcrchtlng question relative to benevolent societies. The mutter in controversy was the sum of jJOOO paid into court by the Anic-rleun I.cglon of honor that several claimants might interplcad for It. The nmouut was the proceeds of a benefit certlll- cato on the life of Lorouz Xlofle , who , at the llinoof his death , was a member of Lafay ette council of St. Louis. The beulllclnry named In thu certificate was Anna Zlollo , mother of Loren < 5 Xiofle , but she , dying bo- foiu him , he attempted to designate as bcno- lloiarlos in her place his fttopfnlhor , Frank Blobor , and stepsister , Uosn Frisch. This designation was not assented to by the order , on the ground that the persons named were not dependents , as pro vided for In the rules of the order. Coin p. Xlcllo then uiudo a will , bo- iUcatblnglOO | to bis fctcp-slstor.Hosa Frisch ; ( s > to his half-sister , Doru Schmidt ; $ .1 to his full brother , Charles /idle , and the remain der to his step father , Frank Blobcr. Lorcnz Xicllo died unmarried , and the order not being able to determine who wns lawfully entitled to the amount of the certificate , paid it Into court. Frank Blebor claimed the fund as executor under Loren * Xlefio's will. Itosa Frisch claimed $100 under thu will and ns a dependent membur of his family. Frank Blobur also claimed ninctccn-twouticths of it under the will and us a dependent member of thu family. Curl X.iollu claimed It us the only surviving full brother of the deceased jr.embor , under the laws of the order. Dora Schmidt claimed It nil us the only surviving half-sister and dependent. The Judge held that thu inter-plea of Frank - Blober , execu tor , must bit dismissed because of the controlling decisions of thn supreme court of Massachusetts 10h that such benefits cannot bo disposed of I by will ; that to allow such disposition would uiako such ussuts of the deceased member's estate liable for his debts , which would 'no feat the main purpose of the law. i. c. , oto provide support of the widow , children or other dependents of the members of the or ganisation Thu iiiterplcu of Hosa Frisch iris I also dismissed , because thb attempt to sub stitute her ns a beneficiary In the plnro bof Xlcllo's mother before the will was made was Ineffectual , not having the assent of the order. The intcrplcus of Frank 13ieber ( in- illvlilimll.O , C.irl Zlollo and Dora Schmidt nrc sustained , and the fuml ordered to bu divided among them. Frank Blobcr could not assort nny claim under the will , said the ronrt , but uidopendontly ho hud shown 10a meritorious claim , having stood in the rela tion of In loco p.u-outU to Lorciu ZIollo , do- ceased. * Citrine Kor thn Slok.

TI1K UKST PLAt'K TO LKAKN The beat place to learn Short-Hand and Type-Writing is in a school where nothing else is taught. To bo a successful teacher one mubt have experience ; a person cannot become a .Short-Hand writer who learns only the theory of Short-Hand. Business colleges and normal schools advertise to teach Short-Hand , but they can not do so , successfully , because they seldom , if ever , employ teachers who are experienced practical stenographers , and teaching several branches of study , Short-Hand must be made a secondary matter. Woteach nothing but Short-Hand and Type-Writing , with the exception ol looking ctiro- fnlly after the pupils' spoiling and punctuation.
