probablo that such an institution will be
erected within a very short time. Several
years ago tho Junior American Mechanics in
this state and in Ohio, erected an orphans
homo in the latter state, with the intention
that all tho orphans should be taken caro of
there. It has been found, however, that the
membership in Pennsylvania is plenty largo
enough to support an Institution of its
uwn, and tho matter is now being seriously
considered. It is altogether likely, that the
proposed homo will be located In tho vicinity
of Philadelphia, as that city has a very large
