The Celestials of Indianapolis Organize aLodge of a Singular Character. The Chinese of this city were organized last night, at the Little Hotel, into a lodge of Chinese Masonry. The institution of the orderwas conducted by the deputy grand master, Sam Ling, from San Francisco, who came all the way here to estab lish the new lodge. He wore a large silver badge, giving his name and title as an officerin Chinese Masonry. The dining-room wa9 utilized as an impromptu lodgeroom, and was decorated with hiero glyphic charts on the wall, mats for for tho floor, and various Hags and banners. The new lodge begins with twenty-two member. The secretary, a young and welleducated Chinaman, whose queue has suf fered ampntation, and who speaks good English, remarked to some Americans about tho hotel that five years ago a China man without a quene would not have been admitted to the order, but that the Chinese are catching tho progressive spirit of America. American Masons who were in the lodge-room before the meeting was called to order said they could not recoguize the tirst symbol or article that would suggest Masonry as they know it. Ihis led to the supposition that Chinese Masonry i9 what is known to California as the highbinders. which have jurisdiction of life and death over the members. Ihe Chinamen spmit the whole night in the work and the feast which followed, a great roast turkey being the principal feature of the latter. A great crowd was attracted to the corner, requir ing the presence of patrolmen Heed aud Clary, of that district, to keep them from annoying the Celestials. The Orange Grove Fair. This December weather makes one think of Florida, but as all cannot go there, the next best thing is to go to the Orange Grove Fair, Tuesday and Wednesday, in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church. Oranges of all kinds known to horticulture and many unique varieties hitherto unknown to the world will be for Bale. The candy booth is always a center of attraction from the "sweets" behind tho counter and the infinite variety they offer for sale, including "tally" of two kinds, the real and very unreal.

His appeal was one ot the strongest the society has ever had made in its behalf, and was listened to with much Interest by the largo audience prewnt.

THE CHARITIES OF THE CITY

Fifty-Second Annual Meeting of tho Consolidated Organizations. Addresses It Judge Woods, Mrs. Elder, Rev. J. A. Hilburn, Alexander Johnson, J. C. Shaffer, II. II. Ilanna and Others. The fifty-fourth anniversary of the Indianapolis Benevolent Society, held at English's Opera-house last night, attracted, as is usual at this annual event, a large audience. The meeting, in the subjects touched upon by the speakers, took cognizance of all the organized chanties of tho city. Judge William A. Woods presided, and after the chorus "Awake, Thou that Sleepest," by a selected choir, led by Mr. Max Leckner, and prayer by Rev. Dr. W ballon, he delivered a brief introductory address. t . M think it mngt" said the Judge, "on this evening, three days after the general Thanksgiving, that yea should assemble to consider what shall be done In Indianapolis what shall be done by you to prevent and alleviate the suO'ering of the poor in your community. The societies represented here are organized for both purposes, to prevent and to alleviate. The questions that naturally arise in the thoughtful mind connected with the subject of poverty and wealth are vastly interesting. The best thinkers statesmen, legislators, philosophers and philanthropists have given their best efforts to solve the problems, social and governmental, that are involved. I am not one of those disposed to criticise the plan ot creation and impugn the governor of the universe because evil is permitted to exist. I would not be willing to say that wealth cannot exist without poverty; I would not be willing to say that good cannot exist without evil, but I believe that wealth is tho better, and that good is better because of its contrast with evil. What, think yon, would be the condition of a people that had nothing to struggle for, whose existence was easyt This is no theoretical question. Yon need only look on the uncivilized races and compare their condition with the civilized, and the results are manifest The question of poverty and charity is not oppressing any one iu Lapland, nor among the Cafhrs and the Hottentots. Wealth and poverty are all the same to them. But In the civilized states and communities, whether it be a necessary law or not, it is the fact that progress and poverty go, if not band iu band, close alongside of each other. We are the happier, the more progressive, because there is a pit of poverty always in sight into which we are all liable to fall. "Sow, it may be that the race has accumulated intellectual and moral power enough to move on if there were no such incentive, but 1 reckon that poverty is the incentive for improvement, and that if the chances for distress were not constantly before our minds our civilization would soon deteriorate, our intellectual character fall below its present standard and our hearts soon be as empty as our heads. It is not, however, with the theories of the subject we have to deal; it is the practical charities tbat inviteyourconsideration. Among the achievements of the present day resulting from the applied sciences the best is the scientific work in the line of charity. When that man went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves it was by chance that the priest oamo along, looked at him and passed on; and likewise the Levite saw him, and the Samaritan was on a journey. It was all by chance that he fell into the hands of the thieves, perhaps, and that he who gave relief was there to do so. These associations do not intend to leave the matter to chance. It is said that all roads lead to Rome. All roads lead to Jericho, and upon all tho roads men are ant to fall into the hands of thieves, often of their own creation, ill health and poverty. There is no place where the hand of relief may not be necessary. These organizations are here to bring relief and rescue." The rnxt speaker was Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, whose subject wab "The Greatest of These is Charity." The speaker pleaded eloquently for the strong to help the weak, the rich to succor the poor and distressed. "Charity, the queen of love," said he, appeals to vou to-night. She comes with tho scepier oi royany wuuiu tier uauiis. cue comes with a grandeur, a dignity of mien; she speaks to you, the elect of fortune, the favored heirs of destiny who live upon the heights. She speaks to you in an imperial aud mandatory voice; upon her banner there is writ in characters of gold these great and mighty words Noblesse oblige, noblesse oblige, noblesse oblige;' nobility obliges, strength involves adnty. So chanty proclaims her gospel and her law. She does not plead, sho does not beseech, she does not beg upon her knees, she commands. She lays the burden of the world's redemption on those citizens who dwell npon the heights. You must drive back the shadow. Vou must usher in the light unless vou would be 6purned by God Almighty and smitten bv the archers of theeternaland judicial right." Margaretta S. Elder was the next speaker, her subject being "On the Care of Neglected Girls." "What can be done for neglected girls?" she asked. Answering the question she showed that they could be removed from their hurtful surroundings and evil environments and given good homes and good schools. She said that much had been done for boys and young men but that so far as girls were concerned very little had been done. She held that compulsory education would be a move in the right direction. J.C. Shaiierspokeon"The SummerMission for Sick Children." After an interesting review of the mission be said: "Some one might inquire 'Is it worth while to spend so much time and money upon these insignificant and obscure ones!' This is my answer. Some years ago a little boy three years old was taken to the poor-house at St. Asaph, Wales. He was well cared for and grew steadily iu mind and body. At thirteen be left tho poor-house. At thirty he found Livingstone in the wilds of Africa: at fifty he rescued Fmin Pasha, and to-day he is one of the greatest heroes on the globe. . Who can tell what may be the histories of the boys and girls whose lives were saved by the fresh air mission last summer? If a suitable house and grounds could be secured or one built on the grounds occupied by the fresh-air mission last season, to be used as a 'rest cottage.' a work would then be accomplished that would rival the best and greatest charitable work ever done in any city." Mr. 11. II. nanna, of the committee of business men appointed to examine into the system of organized charity, submitted a very interesting report. The committee noted that it was a great gratification to lind all the books and all data in tho best possible form for prompt exhibit of every detail of record and accounting for the dis tribution ot all fnnds. Ihe report went on :o say that the administrative cost of $3,100 by the Charity Organization Society was the wisest use of any of the moneys placed in the hands of that organization. The work .of the several organizations in tho circle of charities was briefly noted. "In conclusion," said the report, "we are quickened to a keen sense of our duty to take advantage of this opportunity to speak in words of highest praise for this entire work. It is seldom we are afforded so much pleasure as we have had in its review work and in the detail knowledge obtained of the personal sacrifice and devotion of a few for the help, guidance and blessing in so many great and small ways, of the worthy poor and suffering in our midst" To this was added the paragraph, "Words fall us to characterize, many degree, the wonderful work of Mr. McCulloch in our town. But few combine such a love of fellow-men with such a love for tireless work, guided by such ability for organization and execution. Tho spirit of self.sacritice, on his part, has gone too far. We must coino to his relief and save his strength for accomplishment of the wisest known charity organization and work." The choir then sung while the usual annual collection was taken up. Following this, Alexander Johnson, Secretary of the State Board of Charities, spoke of tho meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, which would meet in this city in next May and hold a six or seven days' session. He bespoke for this organization, with its five hundred members, a hearty welcomo and hospitable.

entertainment during their sojourn. The meeting closed with a benediction by Rev. Joseph S. Jenckes. D. D. A BOOM FOR JiORTUERN INDIANA. The Location of the New Stockyards Resulting in Heavy Advances In Values. The removal of the Swift and Armour interests from Chicago to Lake county, this State, is going to make a number of fortunate Hoositrs in the northern part of Indiana quite wealthy. "Why, farmland that a few months ago could not be sold for $10 an acre because most of it is marsh, is to-day being staked off into lots and brings $200 and $C00 for fifty feet front," said ex-Assistant Attorney-general Gillette to a Journal reporter last evening. Mr. Gillette has just returned from a trip to his home in that 6ectionof the State. "Every train," he continued, "brings a crowd of peoplo to the vicinity of the location of the new stockyards. They pome to look over the ground and see what chance there is for investment. Of course, they do not expect to take up their residence there, and remain only a 'day. but the price of land has been run up to big figures, considering the quality of it and its price for years past One of the visitors remarked, the other

day he was from Chicago, as are most of them 'Well, this land is good for only one purpose, and that is to build a large city on. Chicago was built on just about sich a foundation.' It is the general opinion that the 3,500 acres purchased by Swift and Armour are going to be the basis of a large city. Porter county is enjoying, in a lesser degree, this real-estate boom, and land which very recently could not be sold for enough to pay the taxes on it, is now regarded as quite valuable property. There is already talk of dredging tho Calumet river, and northern Indiana is certainly experiencing something novel in its history, and something, too, that promises more substantial returns than many widely advertised booms in various sections of tho country. The vicinity of Crown Point and Talleston is just now the scene of the most activity, as those two points are to be connected'by a line of electric railway, to be built by Swift, Armour and the others Interested. The people of the.north western part of the State never before realizea to the fullest extent tho advantages of being so close to Chicago." m 1 A Farm-llouse Robbed Samuel Wikoff, a farmer living about five miles south on the. Shelby road, reported to -police headquarters yesterday that thieves bad entered his house in the absence of the family during the day, and had robbed it of a doublo-barreled shot gun, a revolver, $7 in money, some jewelry and several other small articles, oome oi the neighbors saw two young men about eighteen years old and a boy about thirteen about the place shortly after 1 o'clock, but susnected nothing wrong. Descriptions of each were placed in the hands of the police. Mr. Brush iu Cincinnati. John T. Brush was in Cincinnati yesterday, conferring with local capitalists relative to the sale of the club. Mr. Brush remarked Saturday, concerning the anxiety of the Cincinnati papers to know who was to control the club next vear. that, as the standard of the game had never been vfcfy j high in that city, they couia rest assurea j they would have no worse ball than had. been playea there in the past. f Board of Trade Governors. . , , The governors of the Board of Trade wIlP hold their regular monthly meeting to-3 niffht.
