'TIS 00D FELLOWS' DAY TO SHINE Insignia of the Order Would Seem to Be Omni- present. REBEKAHS’ CONVENTION Grand Lodge’s Forty-Fourth An- nual Session—Sixth of Rebekahs. MRS. DONOHO FOR “THE CALL.” Gilroy Town Wants the Orphans’ Home, Now Situated in Thermalito. Yesterday was Odd Fellows' day. The ribbon-bedecked member of the order was in evidence everywhere—on the streets, in the hotel corridors, in the cable- cars and round the various places of amusement. His presence was manifestly felt. The wearing of badges was in no wise monopolized by men; the ladies with their gay decorations seemed as numerous as the sands of the sea, and their beatific smiles conclusively demonstrated thas, though their sojourn was for the transac- tion of business, the amount of pleasure they were deriving from it was not closely hedged about with limitations. And the rcause of all this excitement and bustle was the meeting of the State bodies of both organizations, the Odd Fellows and the Daughters of Rebekah. In fra- ternal parlance the State body of the former is called the Grand Lodge of the 1. 0. 0. F. of California, and the latter the State Assembly of the Daughters of Re- bekah. This annual session of the Grand Lodge marks the forty-fourth milestone of its g;ugres& The Rebekahsare younger—this ing their sixth annual communication— which would seem eminently proper, as the sister organization is supposed to be under the protecting wing of the older and sterner body. At 9 o’clock the Grand Lodge convened in assembly hall of Odd Fellows’ building, corner of Market and Seventh streets. About 600 delegates were to be.present, and most of them were. None of the officers were absent, and a full quorum was ready to take up business. The meeting was formally called to or- der by Grand Master P. F. Gosbey, and everything was got in order for embarking upon the sea of technicalities incident to such a gathering, after which a short re- cess was taken. During the recess everything was con- fusion. Congratulations and handshaking ere witnessed in every part of the large . Many of the delegates have acted in pacity before and thereby became ecquainted with many of their brethren from other lodges, and they all beamed with dliness and satisfaction at meet- i in 1 the same spot hallowed by | ociations. )t the delegates from the interior had arrived Monday, and several of the | cofficers and prominent lay members were | entertained at dinner the same evening by ex-Justice of the Supreme Court C. N. Fox at his home in Oakland. fter recess the committee on creden- | fri tia Lcdge degree on 275 members, | Then the grand master rendered his re- great length | port. The document was of and dealt with al! the subordinate lodges, new lodges of both the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs, dispensations granted and refused, and handed down many de- cisions. The report lead off as follows: *‘Through the providential care of our Supreme Grand Master we have been per- | miited again to assemble in deliberative | body to learn of the good done, results accomplished and blessings given and re- ceived by our beloved order during the year last passed. ¥ ocmictavey R s TR “The results of my stewardship will | soon become known to you. I am aware that everything which Las been done ana | said by me will not meet with universal | approval, yet I expect from you your kindest brotkerly indulgence and consid- | eration.”’ | The body of the report showed that two | subordinate lodges have been instituted | during the past year, Farnsworth Lodge | No. 95 at San Francisco, with twenty-five | charter members, and Bridgeport Lodge | No. 386 at Bridgeport, Mono County, with twelve charter members. In addition twelve Rebelzh lodges were instituted. Six lodges were duly consohdated with | three, this course being desired by the | lodges themselves. The number of dis- pensations granted was 215; refused 2. There followed a long list of decisions, visitations and recommendations. None of the decisions make any startling de- parture from the laws laid down by prece- dent, and it is believed by members that they will pass unquestioned. Followine the rule of rotation in office, & long-established custom, the grand master | took occasion to refer to the one who will in all likelibood be his successor to the im- | i,nm:nt office of the headship of the | . 0. O. F. in tbis State. He said: “My successor, Brother J. W. Warboys, is well qualified to take up the work where it has been left off. 1 ask for him the same kwnd consideration and support which I have received, and our bemd order will rcove on in its great work of brotherly love and kindness, fulfill its great mission of fraternizing the world, ever looking to the supreme grand master of tue universe for his guidance and direc- tion in our great work of humanity.” The report was referred to the commit- tee on distribution, The reports of the other grand officers were then given in succession. At 12 . an adjournment was taken till2 p. M. The graud secretary’s report, the first of the afternoon session, showed that the as- sets of the order had increased during the year by $52,000, though there was a de- crease of fifty-six in membership. Out of the relief fund the sum of $278,000 had been paid. The grand treasurer’s report showed that the balance on hand is $15,521 58; $42,660 20 bas been received during the year, and $46,648 55 paid out. The balance at the time the forty-third annual report was made amounted to $19,500 93. All the reports were referred to the proper com- mittees. ! Next in line of business was the reports of the various committees. The only time for this during the afternoon was taken up by the committee on appeals. They were accepted to the unit. To-morrow other reports will be handed in and all will be duly considered, as well zs the decisions rendered by the grand master, which were referreé to the com- mittee on legislation. Among other matters touched upon lightly during tie day was the home at Thermalito, which is in a temporary loca- tion and hss been in existence for only a year. It was learned that the resuits achieved by the ni)me duricg the year were very encouraging. The hgxrs of meeting were fixed from 10 to12 in the forencon, from 2 to5 in the afternoon and in the evenings as ordered. a banquet given the ‘“‘veterans” in the order at the Bt. Nicholas Hotel, which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion. Speeches were made by the prominent members, in which they congratulated one another and the order generally on its flourishing condition. To-day the members say they intend to get down to good solid work after yester- day’s preliminary skirmishing. s S e REBEKAHSJ‘J SESSION. Publlc Reception to the Visiting Delegates in the Evening. Al the same time the Grand Lodge con- vened in the morninz the grand president of the Rebekahs, Miss Fannie Benjamin of Los Angeles, in Memorial Hall, Odd Fel- lows® building, called the ladies. The morning session was mostly de- voted toreading grand officers’ reports. In general they showed that the condition of the order was prosperous and promised to ascend to higher planes of usefulness. The grand president’s report was orna- mented with gems of rhetoric, which glit- tered and sparkled pleasantly amid their more prosaic setting. 4 “Metagain! How the life-ripples dance!” the report began. ‘‘How the eye-glances dart, and how the hand-grasps quiver with the delirium of joy at this, our glad re- union! ““Met again, old friends and new friends, vet all united in the golden bond of Friend- ship, Love and Truth.” 'IPhe reading of the report was frequently interrupted by the applause of tre admir- ing members and delegates. - 'f'he afternoon session was opened with addresses by Grand Master Gosbey of San Jose and Deputy Grand Master G. M. War- boys of Santa Rosa. The assembly degree was conferred by Past Grand Representative Thompson of Eureka, wbo is an honorary member of the State Assembly. The various reports were referred to the proper committees. An invitation was sent to the Grand Lodge (G attend their reception in Assem- bly f:hll during the evening. The last subject of the alternoon, which atiracted a deal of interest, was the read- ing of a letter sent to the grand secretary of the State Assembly by a Mrs. Hoxett of Gilroy. The letter was with regard to the Orphans’ Home at Thermalito. he writer stated that a Mr. Miller of Gilroy had promised as an inducement to moving the home to that city that he \\'ould%onute five acres of land for a site, worth $1500. The letter further made kuown that the city itself had given its word to furnish water free, and anything else it could legally. Besides this, the citizens had stated that they would contribute the sum of $1050, and four ladies would each turnish a room at a cost not to exceed $50, a doctor’s ser- vices for two years,a horse,a cow and chickens, and 100 choice trees, together with fifty rose bushes of different vari- | eties. The letter was spread upon the minutes and will be considered during the session. | At the close Mrs. Donoho, the grand | eulogizing THE CALL. % Said the lady: “THE CALL is distinc- tively a woman's paper. % | “Itis not afraid to come out on the side | of right and justice, and extend the hel, |ing band to the women in their strugele | for recognition. All honor to it, I say, for |its stmfy nobility of management. | “Itis our duty toaid it by patronizing | it, for it is not meet that we should ignobly | | forget those that have befriended us. May Tag CALL's manager have a long and suc- cessful career is my desire.”” In the evening Fair Oaks Rebekah Lodge | conferred the Rebekah degree in Assembly | Hall. Afterward there was a public recep- | tion for the visiting delegates and their | families. A most pleasant time was bad, | and the ladies said they were ready to attack the work that lay before them with | renewed vigor. A REST FOR MISSASHLEY She Broke Down on the Stand s rendered its report. | The next item WEX;Om confer the Grand ’ Ye“erday' so Court Adjourned. | Scope of the Testimony as Taken Yes- terday Behind the Closed [ Doors. For all yesterday morning Judge Slack’s | courtroom doors were inhospitably closed | to intruders; but it was only for the morn- ing, for at noon the case closed for the | day. Miss Ashley was still upon the stand when the court adjourned, but her direct testimony is nearly all in, and her cross- examination will start to-day. She took up the thread of her evidence where she Jaid it down yesterday—where she told how she started back home with her child, Previous to its birth, she said, she had hunt ed for Baldwin all over, trying to get him to care for her and give her assi ance. She finally met him in 8t. Louis— at the racetrack there—and he gave her $40, but that sum was all he ever gave her. He left 8t. Louis soon after her arrival, and she still hunted for him; but finally she gave up ber search and came back to Los Angeles. There her child was born. The witness was again questioned as to her relations with Baldwin, and as to the time and circumstances under which she told her brotber of what had taken place between herself and Baldwin. Her letters and telegrams were read to her—the ones she wrote and sent to Baldwin before she started for California, while sbe was on the way here and after she got into trouble. Her early life was gone into, and all about her habits and her character was drswn out by Crittenden’s questions, Toward the close of the morning session the witness broke down completely; the brutal frankness of the questions which had to be asked overcame her, and she sobbed violently on the stand while the counsel waited o proceed. When the court adjourned at noon it was decided not to continue during the afternoon out of deference to the unstrung nerves of the witness, and a recess until this morning was taken., Counsel for the defendant make few ob- jections. They protest now and then that & question is leadln% or irrelevant, but they allow the same line of questions as were put on-the examinations for deposi- tions to be put before the court. ———————— REAL ESTATE AUCTION. Sale of Miscellaneous Properties by Easton, Eldridge & Co, There was a large attendance at the auc- tion sale held yesterday by Easton, El- dridge & Co., their saleszooms being filled to overflowing. Of the properties offered the following were sold: A bay-window residence of eight rooms, with lot 45x120, located on the north line of Green street, 197 feet west of Jones, was sold with an “if” for $7875.

FOUR FAVORITES WERE BEATEN Jockey Si McClain Indefinitely Sus- pended for a Suspicious Ride on Babe Murphy. from a four-furlong scramble for members of the two-year-old division to a one and a sixteenth miles run for all ages. Outside of the defeat of four first cholces the day’s sport passed off without incident worthy of more than passing notice. In the saddle H. Martin had quite a profitable day of if, landing two of the winners past the wire and finishing in sec- ond place on the back of oid Jack Riche- lieu in the distance race. In the last race, a spin at six furlongs, 8i McClain put up 8 ride on the even- money choice, Babe Murphy, that im- pressed the judges as being a very peculiar one and he stands indefinitely suspended. Against the company opposed t> her the mare looked almost a certainty on her last run, when she finished a close third to George Miller and Bueno in a six-furlong sprint, decided on Friday of last week. On that oceasion she came with a fine showing of speea at the end and looked the besfhom in the race at the finish. The racing card at Ingleside yesterday was made up entirely of selling events, However the educated coin was withheld yesterday. At the start Bi was away well “THE CALL” RACING CHART.

He then took his mount on the outside making the overland trip, and as the stretch was reached it locked as though the mare still had a chance, but the effort had proven too much and she ran un- placed. The result of the race was a sur- rise. After Kowalsky had outfooted orven and looked to be winning easily Sea Spray came like a meteor from the heavens and nipped the race at the wire by the scantiest of heads. The winner wasa 10 to 1 shot in the betting. The opening scramble for two-year-olds did_not augur well for the favorite. The El Primero stable’s Lodestar was consid- ered a ‘““moral,” going to the post heayily vlayed at the short price of 7t010. Ina diive he was beaten out a head by Scar- borough, the “horse of mystery,” second choice in the betting, who covered the four furlongs in 50 seconds flat, over a track that was not fast. = The friends of the brown gelding Per- haps made a big plunge on him to pull off the second event at six_furlongs, backing him steadily at odds of 7 to 5. He raised their expectations high by showing the way until weil into_the stretch, when he began to falter and ran unplaced. Peru, the 4 to 1 second choice, came on from the rear and won easily, three lengths in front of Irma. W. L. Btanfield’s consistent performer, George Muller, again gained brackets in the five and a half forlong sprint that fol- lowed. He was bached from 8 to 5down to 6 to 5, and leading almost from the start beat William Pinkerton out a length and ahh:r}! at the wire. lmp. Santa Bella was third. The best the 234 to 1 favorite, Perseus, could do in the mile and a sixteenth run with nine starters was to finish third. The second choice, Belle Boyd, took the lead after passing the stand and was not after headed, leading the 20 to 1 chance, Jack Hichelieu, out at the finishing post by a length. Perseus was a poor third. A teven-mrloni:our furnished another orportunhy for E. Comgan’n fine mare, Olive, toannex a purse. Going to the post a 3 to 2 choice, she had shaken Miss Brum- mel off by the time the stretch was reached, and ridden out disposed of the poorly rid- den Chartreuse II by half a length, TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS. Thousands of ladies are expected to honor Ingleside to-day with their presence. It is “laaies day"’ as well as the closing day of the two weeks’ meeting and the man- agement has set forth especial pains in the preparation of a grand programme. Prim- rose & West’s big minstrel company will attend 1n a body, and it promises to be a gala occasion. Jockey Macklin leaves for New Orleans this evening. After staying there for a few days at hishome he will proceed north to ride the crack Libertine in nis stake enfagements. bhe popular owner and trainer, Mat Storn, came very near springing a_sur- prise in the opening race. Bohemian Lass, a filly, by Flambean, in Mat’s string, was allowed to run loose at odds of 150 to 1, and startled the crowa by leading until a sixteenth from the wire, where she tired, but finished a good third. Show odds of 20 to 1 were laid against her. If Chief Crowley will delegate an officer be will find that the peolrooms are again operating in open defiance of the law, under the old guise of doing a commission business. Odds are laid in some instances rediculously higher than laid at the track, with an object no doubt ot keeping players dpwntown. Resultsare also given at the conclusion of each race. On hiay 8 George Miller won a race at Ingleside, starting at odds of 6 to 5, while in one downtown room 2to 1 was postad against him. This shows conclusively that the gamblers are at their old game, end as it 1s an open violation of the decis- ion handed down by Judge Wallace there is no excuse for them being allowed to re- main open. The police have never put forth very strenuous efforts to effectually close these dens. Qaptain James H. Rees, who has offi- ciated in the judges’ stand as presidin, Judge since the opening of the inaugural meeting at Ingleside track, will leave for Cincinnati to-night, where ne will fill the same position at the Qakley meeting. On his arrival in California last Novem- ber, Captain Rees was an entire stranger to the major portion of the local race-gzoing public, but through his coarteous and kina treatment of all, coupled with rulings that were as impartial asthey were just, his friends are now legion, and the genial Southern turfman can rest assured that he oeeur&u a warm place in the hearts of all admirers of clean and honest sport in this Btate, and & hearty welcome will await him on his return to California next fall.

SAMPLES FORWARDED. GOUDS BENT C. O. D. R. T. KENNEDY COMPANY. Encouraged by the success of what has been undertaken by the Mission Improve- ment Club in securing a High School and the turning into a grand boulevard the heretofore neglected Folsom street, the club will, if it be possible, secure a public park on the site of the abandoned cemeteries. To make this an assured success steps will be taken when the Legislature con- venes next January to bave a bill passea which will authorize the Supervisors to sell Buena Vista Park, bounded by Haight, Henry, Broderick and Lott streets, which i;wI:t in a few blocks of the Golden Gate i ark. The argument advanced by the advo- | cates of this measure will be that there is really no necessity for a public park in that section and that the property should be sold and tbonxmoeedu applied 10 the purchase of the Missi laml They claim that at the time Buena Vista Park ‘was laid out on the official map Golden Gate Park was not dreamed of, but since that time the condition of things have changed and now it would be a waste of public money to place the ground in proper condition for a public resort, and even after the expenditure of all this money Buena Vista Park would not be used or appreciated by the people for whose benetit it was originally intended. One of the strange featm—es connected with the early Qinmu of land for parks was that the official eye looked directly west from the City Front, and the Mission, the first location inhabited, had been com- pletely overlooked, and no provisions were made for parks in this district. Next in importance comes the question of making Dolores street a boulevard and to this end a petition to the Supervisors has been widely circulated for signatures and will be Jnresented at the next meeting of the board. « WEPNESDAY, THVRSPAY A 2505510 25¢ 50 et 15 & DO0c.
