Viewed From the Inside.

From the Archer. To Readers of the Archer: It was ray pleasure to attend a of Apollo Temple Plato’s Archers. at their lodge room, in the Iron Hall Building, Indianapolis, Tuesday evening, Apr. 27th. Arriving at the hall a little before 8. after squeezing my way through a crowd of candidates and members reaching from the street clear up to the doorway, the first impressions were akin to those when approaching a city convention, so intense was the interest manifested. In the hall officers were busy getting out the uniforms and apurtenances for the approaching initia tions. When so great a crowd of candidates were in waiting it was useless to think of transacting routine business to any extent until these people were admitted and their suspense re lieved.

After calling to order, the pass word was taken up, to know that none but Archers were in the hall. The captain then read from a handful of applications the names, addresses and occupation of 36 applicants who were in waiting. All this time the regular members were constantly streaming in, till every chair was occupied, and also a hundred or more folding chairs brought in from the corridor, leaving scant room in the center for the work of the team in conducting the initiations.

Proceeding with all possible speed with the necessary routine, the outer guard was notified to prepare the candidates for admission. What followed cannot be told. It could not be correctly conveyed to a reader’s mind were it permissible. One at a time the candidates were ushered in to undergo a course they knew not why, or how, or what the lesson until later on. Then following this, while yet remaining on the outside, the hall was re arranged within for their reception in a body, to view with open eyes and ears the object lesson, and take the “Gold Cure” in its fullness. The incidents attending the first ceremony were so replete with enjoyable antics, and really side splitting performances for the onlooker, each one seeming to introduce new features as he was conducted through the mazes in his journey onward, that upon their return to the hall their faces beamed in wonderment at failui’e to discern the whereabouts of. or the methods in use a few moments before. And here let me divulge a secret attending the success of this ceremony which alone gives Archery precedence over any other organization. Not a man who takes this initiation but can, with no condition of failure be depended upon absolutely to be on hand at following meetings, with as many of his intimate friends as he can possibly prevail upon, to see for himself, as they are put through how it teas done to him. Then for half an hour the can didates are given an object lesson from life’s daily experiences, which is so comprehensive, so

real, and so ihlpressive, ihat no one, be he thehumblestsnoveler in the gravel pit or schooled student in the arts and sciences, but what sees “the joker” that in all business life and transactions has been played to beat the producer out of the just reward for his honest industry. It will be observed that at a session like this the business features are given scanty attention but sufficient reference was made to satisfy all that this branch had not ‘been lost from sight. I was told that this was not above the average attendance for months past, that the weekly initiations ran from 17 to 63, but more generally from 25 to 35. But even this is a great work for a team to perform, and speaks for both team and the parts prepared for each. The Hall, though quite large, is insufficient to accommodate the increasing membership. But the force will soon

be diffused throughout the city in ward Temples for it is claimed by those most active that before winter fully 10,000 regularly enlisted Archers will be in line in this one city. I have not overdrawn this in any particular. And it speaks only of one Temple. Then think of Diana Temple, which has leased Mansur Hall, one of the largest Lodge halls in the city, indefinitely, and will also be an active hustling factor in the new work. Go to Indianapolis and you will conclude Wayland is right in reporting Archery as “taking

like wild fire.”

Archer Club Rates.

Numerous inquiries have come to hand for agent’s terms, club rates, etc., for subscriptions to The Archer. At the nominal rate which the paper is furnished it was not contemplated that a discount would be expected. The Archer is not published as a money maker either for the order or the publishers, but as the cheapest means through which inquirers can obtain needed information from which to benefit themselves. Unlike the customs which have prevailed in reform newspaper work heretofore, we cannot consent to consume all oUr revenues in printing free literature, the rock on which scores and hundreds of able papers have been stranded by their friends.

You want to learn about Archery. Your friends and neighbors want to likewise. When you have learned what it can do for you the benefits will so far exceed the cost, that club rates on the paper will not be worth mentioning. We state a fact that, the entire net subscriptions received during the past month, have been more than consumed in paying postage alone upon answers to inquiries received asking for literature and specific points of information. An organizer who has the requisite energy to get up a list of subscribers for the Archer is surely in line of promotion to employment where his own personal revenues will exceed any reasonable expectations, and the greater his list of readers the quicker and more extensive will be the direct returns from growth of the work within his circle of acquaintance. Remuneration is the watchword of Archery, for everyone connected. If we can’t reach people through their selfish desires Archery will go the way all others have gone. The Archer is simply a guide to show you the avenues through which your selfishness may be directed and utilized not alone for self but when helping self helping the community as well. However, we nave already granted to those desirous of making a start, a free copy for propaganda purposes, for every list of four, or five copies for SI.OO. Better than this, cost of production will not justify the offer.

From the Archer. If there were any doubt about the cause of the lamentable failure of the Kaweah colony of California, if there be any question as to the cause of the failure of the K. of L. GrangeP. M. B. A. or Farmers Alliance. If. the promoters of the Labor Exchange two hundred of which are scattered over the country, manifest any anxiety over the fact that the L. E. work is dragging out an unsatisfactory existence, and failing to meet theii expectations it must be due to the fact that their honest, earnest promoters, have not included in their calculations some important fact, something is left out. Some law of nature has been overlooked; for just so sure as truth is right, whenever the solution of the problem of exchange is found it will be practicable, and if practicable it can be put into practice. We have shown in other portions of this, and in the former issue, where the failures in the previous efforts at reformation occur and wherein Archery differs from all existing orders.

Rev. Grilles delivered the bac calaureate address for the Remington graduates at the Christian church, on Sunday morning the 9th inst. The sermon was appreciated. The attendance was so great that all could not get inside the building, and some of course were disappointed at not being able to gain admission. We had a great rain here on last Sunday afternoon, it having rained pretty near all the afternoon. A lady friend of the family of Mr. James Zea, who was visiting the family, and whose home was near Milford, 111., died last. Friday. She had been ailing for some time. The remains were shipped to her home for inter ment Saturday afternoon. Great preparations are being made for the gymnastic and school exhibitions next Saturday for the Northwestern Indiana Organization. Rensselaer, Remington, Goodland, Kentland, Wolcott, Monticello and Fowler will participate. The exhibitions will be given at the Fair Ground, and the attendance is certain to be very large, if the weather is favorable.

Fifteen Cents For Wild Turkeys.

Wild turkeys are unusually cheap. A hunter on the Walnut street ferry had three or fonr of the big birds that he was bringing to New Orleans to selL “What are they worth?” queried a passenger. “I sold some a few days ago at 15 pents apiece,” said the hunter, ‘‘and I am trying the market now to see if the turkeys will bring any better prices. Somehow folks don’t seem to like wild turkeys or venison. I brought some venison to town recently, and after being offered only 3 cents a pound for it at the market I at last managed to get 6 cents at a restaurant.”—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

Calls Poverty Hell.

Rev. A. M. Hyde of the Congregational cbnrch of Greenville, Mich., has created a sensation by preaching from the topic, ‘ ‘Fred Douglass, the Man From Rell. ’ ’ He said that Douglass, like many of the greatest men, was born in hell and afterward raised to positions of honor. He said, “Any man is born in hell who is reared in poverty and want, with no bed bat a handle of straw, half starved, half olothed and finally kicked into the street to earn a living in early childhood.
