have power to appoint his Night-hawks, his Grand Scribe, his Grand
Turk, his Grand Exchequer, and his Grand Sentinel. And for small
offenses he may punish any member by fine, and may reprimand him for
the same. And he is further empowered to admonish and reprimand his
Den, or any of the members thereof, for any imprudence, irregularity,

and to preside at the same; to appoint irregular meetings when he
deems it expedient; to preserve order and enforce discipline in his
Den; to impose fines for irregularities or disobedience of orders; and
to receive and initiate candidates for admission into the Order, after
the same shall have been pronounced competent and worthy to become
members, by the Investigating Committee herein after provided for. And
it shall further be his duty to make a quarterly report to the Grand
Giant of the condition, strength, efficiency, and progress of his Den,
and shall communicate to the Officers and Ghouls of his Den, all
information, intelligence, instruction, or direction, conveyed to him
by the Grand Giant or other higher authority for that purpose; and
shall from time to time administer all such other counsel, instruction
or direction, as in his sound discretion, will conduce to the
interests, and more effectually accomplish, the real objects and
designs of the Order.
