The degrco'.tcam of Ruth lodge No.lDaugh-
ters of Rcbekah , returned from Chicago cov
ered with glory. The contest was a close ono
nnd the homo team acquitted Itself most cred
itably. The teams whichtook part were the
best In the country and the work done was
remarkably fine. R.utk team carried off
fourth prize , consisting of n handsome set
of regalia. The members are very proud of
this and nro receiving congratulations on all
sides. An Incident occurred during the con
test which shows how ivcll the homo team
played their respective parts , Ono ot the
characters assumed by a member of thodc-
grco staff is that of Mlrliun , the Jewess , who
is attired in the characteristic costume of
the period. The portion of tlio work assigned
to this character Is of a very Impressive na
ture and requires conrfdcrablo dramatic
ability. This position onttho degree staff of
Kuth lodge was asslgnjed to Miss Natalie
Bernstein , the sitting pa tnoblo grand , who
Is a Jewess. The chajucter suited Miss
Bernstein admirably and was rendered In a
faultless manner so myrh so , in fact , that
the members of the opn&sjng teams accused
Mrs. Wright , the cfUclont captain of Ruht
team , of having secured the services of n
Jewish actress especially for this occasion
The worlc of the other members of the team
was characterized by flno rendition and pre
cision In the marching movements , but ono
or two of the Indies became ' "flustered" and
made slight errors , whici.dlstroyed the per
fection of the work.
The dosrreo of chivalry was conferred upon
Mis. G. A. Bennett and Colonel J. W.
Nichols by Grand Sire Underwood during
the cantonment at Chicago.

"Major General Carnahan has added an
other Nebraska man to his stuff with the rank
of colonel , " said a well known member of the
order last week. "If the major general con
tinues to confer this honor in such a promis
cuous manner it can only rasult in a ironoral
feeling that the honor moans nothing. The
evil result of this practice was apparent at
the Milwaukee conclave , when only about
one-fourth of the staff was present for duty ,
the balance remaining at home to glory la the
distinction of their position and hold aloft the
gold epaulets whlch.hiid bien conferred upon
them without even the filntcst suspicion of
service on tholr part which would entitle
them to bo honored by being appointed to the
position which is supposed to bo reserved for
those who have rendered distinguished ser
vice nnd have earned the honor. In the case
In point the appointee has only
been a member of the Uniform
Hank for about ono year but oven
this might have bean overlooked if tbo peti
tion for his appointment had been gotten up
nnd circulated by his friends who desired to
see him honored. Instead of this ho circu
lated tlio petition himself and afterwards
wont to Indianapolis nnd presented it in
person to the major-general , returning with
the appointment. In consequence of this
action lociil members of the order who hnvo
been in it since its establishment In thcso
parts have lately been inquiring , 'On what
meat does this , our Cajsar , feed that lie has
grown so great)1 ) If honors como so easy there
is nothing to prevent the fifty or sixty mem
bers of the Uniform Hank , who have been
good and faithful workers in the cause , from
circulating petitions and being appointed on
the staff as there seems to be no limit on the
number. It may bo , " continued the speaker ,
musingly , "that the fuel thnt the appointee la
the representative of n certain manufactur
ing institution , which has considerable iu-
fluenco over the major-general , has consider
able V ) do with the appointment. "
The Butterfly as ail Emblem.
"Tho Eastern Star seems to be popular
with wives and daughters of Masons In
tlio western states , " aays the Masonic
Chronlclo , "but wo notice that several
fcuinlo correspondents to Masonic Journals
intimate their displeasure at the insignifi
cance of the symbolism us at present sanc
tioned by the order , contending it to bo
utterly meaningless. Whllo endeavoring to
superseded the Rite of Adoption , as prac
ticed in Latin countries , Itob Morris would
undoubtedly liavo been wiser had ho con
sulted some worlts upon the ancient - mysteries
teries , more than ono of which were devoted
to females exclusively. A chief among these
mystic fiocts had un existence at Athens ,
whoso neophytes wore , amid the tresses of
their hair , u butterlly as a token of Initiation.
Than this familiar object no more significant
or Instructive symbol could liavo been se
lected , ns Bight of it suggest. ; the highest
possible moral lesson , The butterfly was
emblematic of Psycho , the soul , while the
fabloof Cupid and Psycho supplies in with a
key to the mysteries of old that Is , llfo ,
death nnd resurrection. Originally a repul
sive worm , the butterfly buries itself In a
coftln of its own creation , to emerge , after n
time , the most beautiful of insecta. Herein
wo have the story of the transmigration of
the soul upon earth inclosed within a crefp-
Irg , unattractive case , to emerge , after death ,
a beautiful creature of the air , regenerated
and suffered to roam nhovo the fucoof mother
earth , whence is derived our popular concep
tion of angels. " C *

The head camp met Ir. DCS Molncs In ac
cordance with a call , but it was decided , on
account of the action of the Illinois members
in securing an injunction , not to take any ac
tion as a head camp , but rather to hold an In
formal discussion. This was according done
and after a long and exhaustive debate a com
mittee of three from each state was appointed
and resolutions returned and adopted to the
effect that It was the sense of the meeting
that the action of these members who were
responsible for the proceedings of injunction
by which u properly called special session had
been defeated , should meet with the unquali
fied disapproval of all Woodmen. The head
council was requested to use every cftoit to
have the Tuthlll Injunction dissolved. It was
further resolved that the original basts of re
presentation bo that for the next
regular meeting of the camp.
The fourth resolution was an
important ono , involving as it does , a radical
changp in the operation of the order. It was
ns follows : "Resolved fourth , That it is the
sense of this convention that ut the head
camp meeting in Springllcld , Ills. , in No
vember , a grand camp meeting should uo or-
gunUed by the delegates In attendance , and
that states having 4,000 or more members
may ut that time organize stuto Jurisdiction ! * ,
with absolute and entire control of their
funds. That Illinois muv retain the present
charter , adopting it for its Jurisdiction , with
changes as It may see proper to make , and
that contiguous states having less than 4,00d
members bCoulii be froupcd together in ouo
or more Jurisdictions , ns their aggregate
membership may suggest. "
