; Mhm G-the;ing M-;, Elected. . ODD FELLOWS, Uncas lodge, No, 11, held its regular meeting Mopday evening, working the second degree upon three candidates. *This was done in the usual admirable form for this degree, for which this lodge has a reputation. One new member was elected, providing work for next month. Frank E. Green and Frank Q. Smith from the two loca] Odd Fellow lodges attended the 17th annual meeting of the corporators of the Fairview Lome, held fn New Haven this week. Among the matters of important business was an adverse vote on the proposition to eatablish a centennial endowment fund of $100,000 for the maintenance of the home at Fairview, Grotop. The lodges w3l now probably adopt the alternate recommendation contained in Presi- dent De Leeuw's annual report of a semi-annua] per capita tax of 10 cents. In his annual report of the home, President De Leeuw refers fittingl~ to the death during the past year of Past Grand Master Jonathan W. Pong of New_Haven, one of the original char- ter members of the corporation; also to the death of Past Grand Master « Frederick §, Hunt of - Bridgeport, treasurer of thls ‘corporation for over 16 years, from the time of its organ- ization until hia death, in Bridgeport, June 10, 1908; and .to the death of Past, Grand Patriarch Dumond P, Merwin, who died at his residence in Milford" October 27, 1908. Brother Merwin was third vice president of the home, Speaking of accommodations at the home, the president says: At 'the present time every room in the main building, cottage and dor- mitory is occupied and beds haye been placed in the assembly room in Pavis hail; and yet 1 do not feel that we ssould erect another bullding at pres- ent. I think that applications fopesd- Znission should be more closely in- vestigated and the home maintained for the purpose for which it was or- ganized, to wit, aged and indigent members of the order. My observa- tions lead me to believe that lodges * have applied for some of their mem- bers who really are not eligible, but when made out in due form we as- sume that they are qualified and ap- prove the application. Lodges should exercise greater care in presenting ap- plications for admissior Twenty inmates have been admiged 17 brothers during the past three sisters and, There were on M Inmates brothers 3 by far the largest number at the home since lts institutfon The departures Sister Phileoma 1908, and_was 1 in Rockv Brother George 1.
