KNIGHTS OF MALTA
Novel Means Adopted by Supreme
Commander to Disseminate
Malta Idea3
Supfemo Commander Sembowor has ob
tained from a number of ths recorders of
subordinate comm'anderlefl a larco list of
S'r Knights who haTO removed to distant
points where this anolent and honorable
frntefnlty has not obtained a foothold. To
each of theso members tho supreme head of
the order has -written a cordial personal
letter, caltlnrf nttontlon to the continued
Rrowth nnd development of the fraternity
and nppealin? to tho distant brother to
cling tenaciously to the principles espoused,
by Maltn knlizhthood nnd urging upon each
tho Importance of disseminating those Ideas
of Christian knlchthood In tho several
localities In which the brothers nro residing.
These letters have brought a host of Inter
estlnz responses expressing- appreciation of tho
efforts of the supreme officer and offering- to
cordially co-operate by carrylns out the sue
sjestlons made.
Tho Idea Is a novel one In fraternal opera-
Slona. As a rule. Hheri members removi to
latant points In a abort tlmq Interest wanes
and vtho membership Is lost,tothb order. To
avert thH result nrd minimise such losses Is
Supreme Commander Sembower's thought. Tho'
work Is laborious, but the results already at
tained fully Justify tha cost.
From tho cordial replies received , It Is be
lieved that the abrent members can bo molded
Into an army of traveling- missionaries, to con
duct n modern crusade In behalf of the propa
gation of Malta principles In many places where
tho order la wholly unknown.
Evidences already Indicate tho probability
that In many sectlcns of tho country the fra
ternal seed thus planted will prove fruitful In
tho Institution ot many new commandertea
Tha Idea thus started will lio followed up with
otter letters and the Malta banner thus carried
Into many towns, cities and States,
Grand Recorder Hoffman, durlns; tho last
week, received four appllcailona for dispensa
tions to conduct summer clast Initiations, As
most of these applications embrace 25 .or more
candidates, nnd as such dlsnensattcns ore be
ins; cranted each week. It Indicates that the
Knlshtn of Malta In Pcnniyh anl nro rrowlnif
vigorously, without any cassation by reason ot
the, wnrm -weather
Evidently hiving passed 'the 40,000 mark, the
Sir KnUhts have buckled on their armor and
aro marching forward townrd the 50,000 mem
herahlp mark, which It la believed tho order la
destined to reach In thla Statu at an early date.
Reports received at State headquarters In this
city trlo promtso of a record year for tho
number of new commanderles Instituted Whtlo
no premiums are offered and no paid organisers
are employed, nor any abatement made In the
price, of initiation for charter members, there.'
are at tho present tlmo no less than 00 Interested
Sir Knlshts. In aa many sections of the State,
who aro worklnir upon charter live and lma
now commanderles well under way for orcsnlza-'

The order discourages tha Institution of any
commandery with less than 30 charter mem
bers., add asks a high Initiation fee-, so as to
secure. If possible as Malta Knights the best
tyres of cltliens In all localities where com
manderles aro located.

talion, Knights of -Multa, WHltum A Oretilnger

KNIGHTS OP PYTHIAS
Agitation Under Way by Activo
Knights in Behalf of Orphans' Homo
Pythlnn Knighthood throughout tho entire
domain ot Pennsylvania has received a sub
stantial Impetus from the organization and
work of the uniform rank or military
branch of tho order. This feature, whllo
growing In favor, haa not received as gen
erous support In this as In somo of tho
other domilna, whero n much larger per
centage of the lodgo members equip them
selves and become .imitated with this Impor
tant Pythian auxiliary.
. In this State there In a brigade, commanded
by Brigadier General Wilson A lllllecas, em
bracing six regiments n&d approximately 1000
well-etiulppvd sir knights, whoso sen Ices aro
frequently called upon by lodges to assist tn
demonstrations, parades and various other fra
ternal functions.
According to tha figures contained Id the last
annual report of Orand Keeper of Records and
Seals Lnmuel Wilt. FennsiUanla has nfl 711
folloners ot Damon and Pythias, making It
the third largeat domain In the country
Tho order supports a home for the aged at
Harmony. In the western portion of the State,
ibut has never provided a home for tho orphans
of deceaeed brothers An effort In this direc
tion and the early establishment ot such a
home, ample la also and appointments. Is
strongly urged by active Pythian workers In all
sections of the State.
Ily n alight addition to ths annual per capita
tax or by a amall sum ndded to the lodge dues
ot each member. It la asserted, money could be
raised ample for all purpoaea.
The Odd Fellows support several orphans
home In this State. The Knights, of PxthUa
have none.
, Grand Chancellor Benjamin Moore tn his an
nual report to ths Grand Lodgo of the stato
referrP,i io this subject, saying: "It la to ba
regretted that the domain of Pennsylvania, with
Its great membership. Is without an orphana'
home. Such a deficiency Is not In harmony
with the teachings or the order. I firmly be
lieve that the establishment of a home where
the children of deceased brothers could be ten
derly cured for nnd be given the proper train
ing In childhood nnd In south, so essential to
good citizenship In after lean, would prove a
wise and satisfying undertaking and not a
single sir Ijilght would regret the slight In.
crease In per capita tax neceasary for tha
creitlon of such an asylum."
While no legislation at this tlm was enacted
there Is a stroiis feeling faor.bU to th
project and It Is believed that agitation under
way will result at an early data In a tangible
move to open a home of such a size and char,
acter as will bs a credit, to ths order.

Tho entire Italian village which tho Metro
company hart Just built In the center of
Brighton Beach raco track for the screen
production of "Ilomeo nnd Juliet" wsb com
pletely destroyed by tho terrific storm that
swept over titw Tork nnd environs last
week. Aforo than CO men wero employed
on the construction work, with only a. few
hours more labor to mark Us completion.
The severe storm, with wind blowing- oft
the ocean at hurricane velocity. In less than
BO minutes destroyed tho work of many
wcolts, Metro suffered a financial loss of
several thousand dollars. In addition to tho
bis loss that the delay will cost.
Arthur Shipley, who was In charge of
the work durtnc the absence of Edward
Schulter, technical director at the Metro
Quality studios, had a narrow escapo from
serious Injury, When the storm arose Mr.
Shipley directed a croup of men to arrange,
ejulde ropes and heavy wires over the struc
ture at various points, and fasten them
with stakes driven Into tho ground, lie
was on top of a high scaffolding- with threa
men, when n sudden sweep of wind car
ried tho structure over and sent the men
toppling to the ground. A few seconds
later a bolt of lightning- struck a telephona
pole which was not mare than 20 feet from
where tho men lay on the ground, stunned.
Mr. Schulter, who was In the Metro
Quality Studio near Columbus Circle, New
York, anticipating that the storm, might
damage the consjrutlqn work at Brighton
Beach, hurried .horeM)ln. an automobile.
When he arrived, tliSorcault of his handi
work, nnd the "most, elaborate and artistic
set ho ever designed and built, was leveled
to ths ground and scattered over the In
closed arena. Had It not been for the fact
that Mr. Schulter constructed the outdoor
set on moro substantial and different lines
than any similar set was ever built It
would have been a total loss. In making
tha many bulhllngs. which wcra faithful
reproductions of tho beautiful structures of
Vorona. Itnly, In tho fourteenth century.
Mr. Schulter directed their construction
with a view ot taking them down and cart
ing them to ths Metro studios afterward
for futura use.
Kitty Gordon Is soon to start work In a,
