The Ilrst regiment of tlio LT. rt. 1C. of P. of this et'y accompanied by Columbus division , No. ! > > , commanded by Captain \V. U. Pole , went into cntnp last Tuesday at Hanscoin i.irk. Ten tents were staked in company arninj'o- ncnt during the forenoon and at 3 o'clock m in the afternoon , the division began to as semble. Tlio roll was called at about 3:30 : , cnard mounting , and Inspection next followed , and then the boys were allowed , the freedom of the camp. All the brigade staff residing in Oniiiha nnd the entire Held and statf of the Omaha regi ments were present , with a majority of the line tinkers. The camp wns well guarded , headquarters was guarded by grim visagcit sentinels , and no ono allowed in tlioso reserved < ] uartcrs who was not invested witli the countersign of the day. Captain John Hnywaul was ofllccr of tlio day and Lieutenant C. H. Ware oOlocr of tlin guard. The entire programme ) was nicely arranged and well curried out. Addresses v.-cro delivered by the colonel and a number of oflicers of the regiment which showed , for the most part , great care in prcparattnu nnd u thorough knowledge of I'.Uhhm nITairs. In the evening a dance was enjoyed at the pavilion in tlio park. The Columbus visitors , however , were obliged to return at 0 o'clock and did not get t'ao enjoyment afforded by tills feature of the occasion. Many pleasiint acquaintances were made , and on the wtiolo tlio affair will long bo remembered us a very cnjoyablo holiday. The ladles , wives , daughters and good friends of the ofllcors and sir knights did much hi the way of proiurlng the feast and malting the entertainment of the day u suc cess , The Second regiment of the uniform ranlc went into camp the same day at Ashland. The presence of Hripudlcr General Dayton , Colonel E. H. Si er , Captain Callahan and Adjutant J. 12. Douglas gave the U. It. an rxtru attraction tlmt wus test to Omaha , on account of tardiness in extending the invita tions. Tlio streets of tlm city were appropriately decorated for the occasion and after the re ception of the visiting Sir Knights by Ash > laud division No. Z.t , tha divisions formed in procession nnd marched to Halloa's park where they went into camp. Tlio address of the morning was dellvci od by John L. Goss , of Uellovuo. In the after noon a competitive drill was the interesting feature. A. D. Marshall division No. 10 anil Apollo division No. 11 were the contestants , resulting In the award of the first priro of frtu to Apollo , and the second of ! 5 to A. U. Marshall. The AMiland band rendered Una music throughout the entire day. The day marks another pleasant mile-stone In the history of the two regiments. Now IiodjjO' ' Formed. The reports have been received from the national Jurisdiction of the Knights of Pythias order throughout the country to show that the gum In ledge organizations throughout the country during the past year wits over two hundred. They are distributed as follows : Ohio stands at the head with 20 now lodges ; Iowa follows closely with a gain of 24 ; Indiana comes next with " 0 ; Kan sas ha.s III : Illinois , 12 ; Michigan , U ; Texas , 10 , and Now York , 8 ; Alabama and No- Vraskacach report ? ; Colorado , West Vir ginia and Wisconsin , 5 each ; California , Kentucky nnd Washington territory , 4 each ; Connecticut , Dakota , I/mlslauu , Minnesota , Missouri and 1'onnsjlvania. 3 each , MOD. tana , New Mexico , Ontario and Tennessee. 3 each ; and 1 each Is reported by Aruoou , the Maritime Provinces , Maryland , Massachu setts. Now Jersey , lihodo Island , Utah and Virginia. No new lodges were instituted during the term hi Delaware , District of Co lumbia , Georgia , Now Hampshire , Oregon , South Carolina or Wyoming. Hesides this , several new lodges were re ported about ready for institution in Massa chusetts , six in Ontario , five in Viiginia , throoeachin Alabama , Indiana and Texas , two each in Connecticut and Louisiana and one each in Ohio , 1'ens.ylvanla , Tennessee and Oregon. t * Sound Advice. The Fraternal Indicator , in an editorial recently published , gives some very good ad- vlco to the members of secret orders , when it speaks as follows : "Fraternal societies should in nil cases "guard well their portals. " Lodges are not organised to take in every ono who will join , and then reform them. It sometimes occurs that tlioso who nro the least fit to bccoino members are the most anxious to Join. Do not hesitate to use the blackballs when and where they are necessary. Ono bad member will injure the coed name of a whole lodge. Ono growler will spoil tlio pleasure of every meeting. Ono unprincipled , selfish member will to .1 great extent prevent a ledge from cxcri'ibing chari'y and benovolonco. One crank will destroy harmony among the mem bers. Keep out the questionable characters. Let them refoi in first , and then tuko them m. A few members working harmoniously to carry out the principles of an order can do more good than a lodgclet It bo over so largo , that is not composed of good , honest , true men. Strength docs uot always consist in numbers. " 4 * * Mnsonlo. Preliminary steps have been taken for the purpose of forming a pilgrhnago club to at tend the triennial conclave of the Knights Templar of the United States , which will beheld held in Washington from October 10 to lii next year. A meeting was hold last week at the rooms of the Commercial club , Philadel phia and a largo number of persons expressed their willingness to Join the club. It is in tended to make a rather extended trip through the southern states and to make a visit to the city of Mexico. Another meeting will bo hold on the fourth Monday in Sep tember , when a permanent organization will bo effected. Harmony Lodge , No. 23 , of Newton , N. J. celebrated its ccntenial on Juno -I , 1SS7 , it having been constituted on Juno 24 , 17SS , with lirother Thomas Anderson as its first W. M. The celebration began Sunday evening , Juno 21 , with a sermon preached before the ledge by Hov. Hrother W. II. Hus- sol. On the following day , Monday , the Masonic ceremonies proper occurred. Asnlnst tlie Benevolent Order. The full bench of the supreme court of Massachusetts recently handed down an In teresting decision In the case of the Massa chusetts Catholic Order of Foresters vs Gathering Cr.llahan ct al. , which decides a question as to the disposition of a fund duo upon the death of a member of the order. It appears that John J. Cullahan joined the or der in June , ISS3 , and designated in his appli cation for membership his mother , Mrs. Catherine ) Callahan , as tha person to whom ho wished the death benefit paid. Callahan afterwards married , and died February 24 , ISS'S ' , but his designation was not changed. The fund on his death was claimed by Mrs. Callahan , and also by the administratrix of the estate of Mr. Callahan's widow , It being claimed that , as Catherine Callahan was not a "dependent" upon her sonsho should could not take the fund. This , the court decides , Is not the law , and holds that Mrs. Callahan , the mother , is entitled to the fund of $1,000. The Knights' Holiday. The Columbus division of the Knights of Pythias were the guests of the Second regi ment of the Omaha Pythlans on Tuesday and enjoyed a day of encampment beneath tbo leafy shades of Hanscom park. The Columbus knights arrived In u special car , handsomely decorated , and were escorted to the park. Tents were pitched and a session of merriment and good feeling was inau gurated. Feasting , visiting and dancing on the platform consumed the time of tbo merrymakeis. Many of the wives and daughters of the "bravo men" accompanied them from Columbus and received tun dis tinguished attention of the Omaha knights. A happy tlmo was indulged In. the older members yl'U" and fraternizing and the younger ones dancing , flirting and enjoying the many good things" provided for their de lectation. A Masonic Festival.
