ORDER OF PROTECTION. Slater lodge, No. 509, meeting in Pythian hall on Wednesday evening, with a well attended session, at which Warden Gertrude V. Shepherd presid- ed, had as a feature the finish of & contest between two teams tfter new members. Nine candidates were on hand for initiation and were led into the order, seven of them - standing credited to George A. Howard's team of ten and two to Mrs. F. C. Lewis’ team of ten. According to the teams of the contest, which had been running a month, Mrs. Lewis and her team as the gefeated side had to furnish a sup- per, which was the concluding feature of the evening. Two visiting Neopians were present. Junior Past Warden C. BE. Cole and Treasurer Joseph Chapman of Hugue- not lodge, New London, as well as Deputy Adella B. Walden of New Lon- don, who was making her first official visit_since her appointment. She was heard in some interesting remarks and the two brothers spoke in the interests of a new magain to publish, called The Soc: cr, devoted to the N. E. O. P. It will be published in New London and will be issued monthly. The Slater lodge members were re- minded of the invitation from Hugue- not lodge to attend their class initia- tion on the 2Sth of March. L About twenty of Slater lodge indicated their purpose to go. The grand lodge of the New England Order of Protection, organied April 22, 1889, -will hold its session in Bridgeport on April 13, at which time there will be about 300 delegates present mepresent- ing the 91 lodges in this state Ida lodge of Bridgeport, organized on Dec. 18, 1887, is the oldest lodge in the state, while Edgewood lodge of New Haven, instituted on Feb. 3# 1910, is the young- est. The combined membership of all the lodges in this state was 15,200 on Feb. 28, but as all are working hard to increase it the grand lodge hopes to be able to report 15300 on_ April 1, when the grand lodge year closes. These lodges have in their general fund an aggregate of 00, some having as high as $2.800. he general und of the grand lodge amounts to $8,000. The grand lodge of Connecticut was ipstituted on April 22, 1889, and has had but eight grand wardens, two srand secretaries and two grang treas- 33 | urers. - and Tan Silk-lined and | Ik Lined Spring | of Kid, of Cape, of in all the new shades | | | | F. D. Grinnell of New Haven was the irst grand segretary and served until his death on Aug. 4, 1905, when Jere- miah Wall was appointed to fill the vacancy and was elected the follow- ing year, serving up to the present time. Like the first grand secretary, the first grand treasurer, S. A. Granger, of Winsted, died in office, his death oc- curring ‘on Feb. 25, 1897, when F. M. Drew, cashier of the Ansonia National bank, was appointed to fill the vacancy. At thie next meeting of the grand lodge he was chosen grand treasurer and has been re-elected at every session since then. There is but little doubt but that both Mr. Wall and Mr. Drew will hold their respective positions as long as_they want to. ‘While it is not expected that much of anything except routine business will come before the grand lodge, the Bridgeport lodges are making prepara— tions to show the grand lodge that no | was made at the last session | mistake providing for every third session to be hel@d in that city, this change being brought about only after a hard fight at the last grand lod&e session held at New Haven. FORESTERS. Past Chief Rangers Arthur G. Crow- ell and Patrick F. Bray were two of the officers of Court Sachem. No. 94, who were rewarded for faithful térms of service in the presiding officer's chair by the eift of the beautiful P. C. R.s jewels at the meeting of the court Thursday night in Foresters’ hall. | joth the jewels were presented in a | at e and were appropriately -en- ed, making a valued reminder of the terms filled by th. two officers.

Troland of New Lon- don The addresses, to be followed by refreshments, are expected to provide an evening of much enjoyment. RED MBN. Sachem Joseph Smith presided Wed- nesday evening in Hibernian hall at the regular meeting of Tecumseh tribe, No. 43, which was well attended. The members showed that they intended to keep up the membership boom which is now under way and they presented two new applications. It was proposed to havg the New London tribe’s uni- formed degree team’ here for the first meeting in April. whic his on the 6th, at which all three of the degrees will be worked if possible in the time. The local tr is on the gain and intends to keep things coming their way right along. DAUGH 1 ERS OF POCAHONTAS. In Foresters’ hall on Monday eve- | ning, the Neosha club . conducted & pleasant evening of whist at which there were ten tables playing, When, { the scores were counted up, the fol- lowing were determined to be the prize winners Firsts, M Agnes Chapel, a batk comb, 44; Robert McKiernan, cuff links and pin, 57; seconds, Mrs. ¥. E. Lewis, a hatpin, 41; Edward Da- ley, necktie. 45; consolations. Nellie Howard and Louis S. Manchester. An- other whist in the ball was announced for the 28th, and were invited to attend a home whist on April 7 at Mrs. E. A. Kinne’s. Cake and coffee were served. ROYAL ARCANUM. Group initiation will be carried out next Wednesday evening in Foresters’ hall by Thames council, No. 1851, which has the initiation for this dis- trict for that evening. All of six coun- cils. Norwich, Thames, New London, , Willimantic, Putnam and' Stonington, are expected to send delegations that nisht with any candidates they may have for initiation by the Thames council degree team, ‘which has been practicing faithfully for some time past. It is not §nown by the Thames council officers whether any «of the outside councils have didates, but neither of the local co¥ncils has one. The grand council offers a prize for e council which bas the most officers present at the group meeting. A Willimantic Arcanian _who was scen on Friday said that Willimantic council had three or four candidates, but they could not come to the group initiation, because of the mnecessity of staying over night in Norwich, if they did, and losing time from their work. He thought the Willimantic candidates;| would be initiated at home. Thames council will make the eve- ning a pleasant one for all attending, having plans for something in the so- cial line which will be enjoyable. ELKS, One of the features of the meeting of Norwich lodge, No. 430, on Thurs- day evening in_Pythian hall, was the report by the committee which has in hand the bazaar tb be conducted the first week in Avril by the lodge for raising money to be used in fitting up the new home of the. Elks. Not the members alone, but the merchants of the city. it was reported, are showing unprecedented interest in helping the Elks to realize their ambititons for the | new home. The bazaar is to be in- | augurated with a great street parade | on the opening night, April 7, start- ing from the new Elks’ home and pro. ceeding to Olymvic hall. In the pa- rade will be 100 automobiles, the two goats, Fritz and Hans, which are to be given away with a cart and harness, en away at the bazaar. ~All the mer- chants haye been asked to light up their stores for the parade. In the list of presents to be given away\at the bazaar, which will be more than at any previous one, the features are the goat and the pony team. They are to be exkibited before all the schools of the cit ybefore the date for opening the bazaar. A feature about the Elks' new home that is winning commendation is that they are to make no outside changes that will alter the colonial architec- ture of the Osgood house, thereby pre- serving for this portion of Main street the ornamental effect of this handsome residence. FRATERNAL BENEFIT LEAGUE. A mew council of this fraterna so- ciety, Norwich, No. 25, whose charter ist has been gotten together by Su- preme Guide EdgarB. Worthington, is to be Instituted in this city next Friday evening at a meeting in Pythian hall.

He was a member of the A. O. U. W. for twenty- | seven years, seven months and twenty- | nine days, joining Sprague lodge July 12, 1882.
