Daughter * .
According to the latest enumeration of the
badge-maker , the organization comprises
14,000 members. Yet It wns so recently as
January , I860 , that ton ladles met to consider
votna plnn which nliould unlto ehrlnUnn
women Into ono grout sisterhood of service.
"Adopting the system of Edward 12. Halo's
Tim Tlmon Ono1 clubs , they constituted
themselves a 'central ton,1 around which
should crystallro other tens of workers , not
iiMumlng any authority or responsibility over
them , but simply to form a nucleus around
which tluiy might cluster , nnd from which
might radlato encouragement , ndvlco and
guidance. Of the various names proposed
for the order that of tlia King's Daughters ,
niiggOKted by Mm , Irvine , was most favor
ably received , and finally adopted ; the badiro
of the society was selected In the small silver
cross tied with the royal color ; the
watchword chosen was the simple
In Hln Name , ' of the apostles of old , and
thu mottoes of action sulectcd were :
Look forward and not uaek. '
'hook out and not in , '
'Look up and not down,1
'Lend u hand,1
Never wus less said or written and never
no few plans made for any work , us thodc-
lgn of the society was to move silently and
steadily , and to secretly accomplish Its pur-
JHJSO of bridging tha channel between the
rich and thu poor , and to unite all women
engaged In any kind of good work In such
way us to aeeiiro to each tlio sympathy mid
co-operation of all. Yet from almost every
Mate in thu union , and from the most remote
countries over the sea- India , Australia and
New Zealand from people in every walk of
life , from pastors of ehurches , matrons of
lm pltiiln , teachers of schools , leaders of
lihilanthroplc Bocietie , presidents of colleges ,

A Day In Camp.
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.

In the history of the two regiments.

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. "

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.

Boycotting lowu Tcmplnm.
The unfoitunato difficulty which hai
arisen between the M. E. grand muster of
Knights Tcn.plar und the grand commau-
dory of Iowa , which 1ms resulted m tha
issuing of an edict by tlio grand master pro
hibiting Templars of other Jurisdictions to
hold fraternal Intercourse with those of
Iowa , Is an event deeply to bo deplored. Wo
have nothing further to say on the subject
than to expiess our sonow that such n thing
could have happened , and to offer a fervent
prayer that all things may bo arranged
peaceably and In the spirit of Christian kind
ness. The brethren composing this body ot
Masonry are.supposed to bo faithful follow
ers of Him whoso title Wus mcok and lowly.
It Is therefore not In keeping with thu tenets
of the order either to engage In robollionv > e it
on the other hand perform nets which arfl
liable to bo designated us tyrannical. 1
Grand Commander Frederick Speed , ot
Mississippi , says the Baltimore Telegram ,
refused to rocognlzo the command of Grand
Muster Roomo , nnd gives nine reasons for
his protest , and among them ono that a rit
ual was not constitutionally aUopcd at St.
Louis , und he cannot condemn the Iowa
brethoron without duo charges und trial.
And still another refuses to obey the grand
master. The grund comtnnndcry , Knights
Templar of Ten nessco , objects to the ritual
as adopted at the grand encampment at St.
Louis , and has resolved to wcmorlulUo tha
grand encampment ut its next
session to recall the ritual
for revision and corre-.tlon , and
further resolved : "That this grand com-
mundcry , deeply impressed with the Inferior
