There are in Providence a great number of secret and benevolent societies, having for their object the mutual protection of their mem- bers against want and suffering in sickness, as far as suffering can be prevented by means of money or human attentions. Of these societies we cannot speak in details, but will notice the principal ones in brief.
The Knights of Pythias, a secret benevolent order, paying from $3 to $5 a week to its sick and disabled members, have fourteen lodges in the city. The order was organized at Washington, D. C., in 1864, and the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island was constituted February 17th, 1871. Some time before that the first Lodge in the state, Union, No. 2, was organized. The order combines the insurance principle with the sick benefit method. The policies range from $1,000 to $3,000, varying with the rank of the member. The order soon became popu- lar, and new Lodges were frequently organized. By 1872 six Lodges had been chartered. These were Union, No. 2, in Pythian Hall, 129 Westminster street; Damon, No. 3, in Haggai Hall, 41 Weybosset street, now in Fletcher Hall, 173 Westminster; St. John's, No. 6. in Odd Fellows Hall, Olneyville Square, now at 159 Westminster; John Milton, No. 7, at 129 Westminster; Oriental, No. 9, at 409 High street, now in Oriental Hall, 255 High street, and Crusader, No. 12, in Springer Hall, High street.

Union Lodge was disbanded about 1878. The Endowment Rank was added to the order here about 1879, there being two sections, Nos. 14 and 81. John Milton Lodge was dropped about 1881. Providence Lodge, No. 17, was added about 1882, its meeting place being Hedly Hall, Charles street, now Odd Fellows Hall, Chalkstone avenue. There were about 400 members in the city at that time. Rhode Island Uniform Division, No. 1, was ยท organized about 1883, and Narragansett Division, No. 2, about a year
