After the installation the officers of
the new lodge pioceeded to business
and added new members to their list
at every meeting and although quite a
number dropped out from time to time
the membership has been steadily in-
creasing until the roll call at the pre-
sent time numbers about 90
This special increase in member-
ship is not to be attributed to any in-
dividual but has bpen brought about
by the diligence of a greater majority
of its membeis The lodge has been
a harmonious body from its inception
to the present day and although there
were differences among the members
they were always left in the lodge

est harmony prevailed as to the ac-

Fiom the above list of officers it
will be noticed that this lodge is in
the hands of the younger element and
while we do not know whether that
is the reason for its phenomenal suc-
cess we do know that the older heads
say what should be done by electing
young men to the different offices and
then tell them that it is up to them
to defend the honor and continue tne
prosperity of this lodge as behooves
the stiong arm and fertile mind of the
younger set
LONE STAR LODGE
By Jonas Alltmont
Lone Star Lodge No 210 I O B B
was born June 16th 1S74 being the
second lodge organized in the state
of Texas and the twentyfourth in-
Glorious Grand District No 7 I O B
B It is the senior lodge in this city
showing a lively career of thirtyfive
years existence and has at various
times been honored with positions in
the Grand Lodge It has always con-
tributed to and assisted at every un
dei taking of a Jewish character be it
of a charitable social or literary na-
ture In its zenith it has worn the
mantle of leadership and only recent
years has it permitted the younger
lodges to absorb that position It still
Jias on its roll three charter members
showing a consecutive membership of
thirtyfive years These veteran and
venerable brothers are Joe Sigle aged
S2 now a resident of California Isaac
Sigle age 71 now a resident of Cali-
fornia A S Fox age 63 a resident of
Palestine Tex
Its present membership counts only
twenty but they are stalwarts in the
Bnai Brith Order This lodge since
its organization has contributed many
thousands of dollars to the various in-
stitutes maintained and fostered by
this grand order and in return for its
numerous and liberal responses has
been granted favors through its New
Orleans Jrlome for the Jewish Widow
and Orphans and the Touro Infirmary
which canont be gauged by any money
value The same may be said of its
endowment class Whilst they have
15
paid thousands and thousands of dol-
lars into that fund the noble order has
returned thousands to the beneficiaries
of its departed brethren and it goes
without contradiction that in many in-
stances such endowment has proven a
Gods blessing to all widows and or-
phans Lone Star Lodge 210 also with
a good deal of pride points to the fact
that It never permitted an unfortunate
member to default in payment of his
dues being ever ready to step into
the breach and arrange for such
brothers continuance in good standing
in order to save unto his widow or-
phan or other beneficiary the benefit
of the endowment

WACO BNAI BRITH DAY
Eureka Lodge No 196 I O B B of
this place in acoi dance with the de-
cree of the Grand Lodge of district
No 7 celebiated the Bnai Brith Day
in a very appropriate and sulendid
manner on the evening set apart for
that purpose
Rabbi Warsaw as chairman did him-
self great credit in a few extempo
remarks at the opening of the exer-
cises setting forth in strong terms
and unmistakable language the ob-
jects of the meeting and many benefi-
cial results derived therefrom Music
song and general good feeling prevail-
ed throughout the evening One of
the main objects of the celebration
was the remembrance in substantial
manner of the widows and orphans
which was manifestly accomplished by
liberal donations thus a goodly sum
was collected for that laudable pur-
pose After all the material intentions
were consumated the young people
enjoyed themselves by the fantastic
dance and all drank from the cup of
pleasure to its very dregs
