8 THE COLUMBIAN. HI.OOMSUURG, I'A. TIll'KSl'AY, Jl l.V so, 1905. MIMBER3 OF ROYAL AROANDM PROTEST, Representatives ot 36 Council! Met in Phila delphia to Take Action Toward Rescind -ing Rates Established at Atlantic City. The Philadelphia Press of last Thursday says : " Augered at what is declared to be a move to force out the old mem bers of the Royal Arcanum, repre sentatives of the order in Pennsyl vania and New Jersey, with resolu tions representative of nearly thitty tikousand members, gathered in special session at the Continental Hotel yesterday to protest against the enforcement of a new assess ment rate adopted by the delegates to the Supreme Council at Atlantic City in May, and to lay plans for an organized resistance against it among the subordinate councils of the country. The new rate adopted by the supreme officers increases the assessment rate on all members over 40 years of age, which the dele gates to the session of the Allied Councils yesterday declare is not only a gross injustice to the nieu who have worked all their lives to make the order a success, but that the action of the supreme officers was taken without proper warning to the more than 300,000 members spread throughout the country. The action, according to William Wilhelm, of Pottsville, who acted as chairman of the convention, is the work of a few of the " inside " members of the order. Thirtv-five councils were repre sented at the convention in person and more than one hundred by letter, and all emphatically de nounced the Supreme Council's action. It was also declared that the new rate advances the monthly rate on members 40 years old and over from 150 to 500 per cent. "The grand officers and supreme officers," said one man, " brazenly declare that members are now pay ing according to their attained age. This advance is not the worst fea ture of what was done at Atlantic City. The simple plan of a straight payment according to age of entry s now chauged to five plans. The complications arising lrom all these plans have caused as much of an olement of distrust to the grand and supreme officers as to the rates." Resolutions were adopted protest ing against the new rate and all the -ouncils in the district have been jsked to urge the grand regent to .all a special session of the Grand Council at Ilarrisburg not later '.hau August 24, for the purpose of .'escinding the table of rates enacted it Atlantic City." As everywhere else there is much eeling among the members of .Jloomsburg Council. If the rates ire not changed it is probable that 1 few members will remain in at he new rates, others will reduce he amount of their insurance, and uany of the old members will be orced to drop out. The latter ieems to be the object aimed at by he Supreme Council. As men grow ilder the more liable they are to lie, and if they can be forced out fthe order before that happens, he death benefits will not have to e paid. The specious arguments f their hired missionaries who are ;oing about trying to explain the iction of the Supreme Council, are iot making much headway with he membership. A Good Curb Market. The variety of articles offered in he curbstone market is large, and he quality is good. Green corn is ,ust coming in, and sells at 20 cents dozen. Red raspberries have been inusually abundant, though this las not seemed to affect the price iny, the prevailing figure being 10 cents a basket. The huckleberry man from the North Mountain now .nakes two trips a week and he too keeps up to 10 cents. The scarcest articles are chickens. Very few are brought in, and these are very small in size or very high in price. Very small ones, too small to eat, bring Co cents a pair, and those about large enough to kill fetch 75 cents. uiu cmcitens are onerea at 15 cents a pound. At such prices it is strange that farmers do not engage more extensively in the poultry Dusiness. it is nard to buy chick ens in Bloomsburg at any time of year. Hucksters go through the country and buy them up, but if tnere Js not supply enough for the hucksters and the town trade, it would pay somebody to raise more chickens. Each dealer now must pay 5 cents each market morning, to clean up the street. This is a good thing, as the merchants were getting tired ol sweeping the pavement each time.

J'rtcWM'iMtm' PREACHED IN THE STREET A unique method of getting hear ers to receive the Word was resorted to last Sunday evenin g at the vill age of Alniedia. Rev. Stover of the Kvangelical church couldn't get the congregation to come to him so he went to the congregation. For several months interest in church work in the Kvangelical Church ol Almedia had been on the decline and several Sundays when the good minister, Rev. Stover repaired to his church to preach the Gospel he would find the pews empty. lie was resourceful how ever and noticed that a large congre gation of men and boys were always gathered on a Sunday evening at the corner of the F.nglehart wagon shop. He determined to have hear ers even though he had to go where they were On that evening the minister with his choir stopped at the street coruer instead of going on to the church and commenced the service. A large number of people were gathered together sit ting on the steps on piles of lumber and on old wagons. The choir sang several selections, the minister prayed and preached a very instruc tive and interesting sermon. At the close he announced that ser vices would again be held at the same time and place in two weeks from last evening. It was a strange procedure but it worked and Rev, Stover had a cougrcgation.
