The belief that the Argo- naut degree is light, foolish, rough and of no ritualistic merit is an exploded theory. “Your respectiul consideration,” say the officers, *‘as well as your support and encouragement, is earnestly invited to & degree that is created solely for the benefit and entertainment of the members of our beloved order, the Native Sons of the Golden West.” Commencing to-morrow, Grand Orator R.

There was one initiation. A suggestion was made during the evening that tue American flag should be dis- piayed in the hall of the court during each session.

Burton, supreme repre- sentative, and W. D. Maunsfield, supreme orator. There was a good attendance anda great interest was manifested in the proceed- ings. There was also a great degree of con- fidence despite the loss that the order has sustained in the past two years in consequence of the change in the plan of assessments. During the past two years the order has paid 1863 death claims, amounting in the aggre- gate lo §5,060,500. The condition of the order was freely dis- cussed and while it was the expressed opimon of all that there was need for some legislation there was no occasion for fear of the present siatus of the order 1n the future. 1he law of the special session held in Pnila- delphia creating classes A and B was repealed and the table of rates kuown as class A was adupted and made applicable 1o the entire membership, to take effect September 1. S0 hereaiter there will be but one rate for mem- Re;-:&i ihe same age and that will be the class It was a's0 made a law that but twelve as- sessments per year shell be levied. and if a greater amouni than what such assessments will produce shall be rcquired to meet obliga- tions, the deficiency will be met by a draft on the emergency fund. In view of the fact that but few have patedin what was known as the sick 1t was abolished. There was a material reduction in the salaries of the officers of the Supreme Council, and active measures will be taken as to the future of the oraer. The reports presented showed that twenty- five new counci's had been insututed during the past two years and several more are in process of organization. The new supreme commander, F. O. Downes, is represented as an active and earnest worker, and the assertion is made that he will advance the order into new fields, as he has already done to some extent, and that he will also visit all parts of the jurisdiction, including Califoruia. The statement that for some time had been going the rounas of the press to the effect that a receivership was to be appointed for the order was taken up and discussed. The first application of the kind was withdrawn and never came up for a hearing. The second one was filed the day that the supreme body met. This did not attack the solvency of the order, but it did attack that part of the law that created two classes of members; but as that law has been repealed the action will fail artici- nefit Laws, amendments and resolutions—Mrs. E.

The membership was also visited by Grand Chief Companion Mrs. Emma Harring- ton, Past Grand Chief Companion Mrs. Lucy Atwood, Grand Secretary Mrs. Agnes D. Bremer, Grand Trustee Mrs. Fiora Jacobs, Grand Marshal Mrs. M. Conuell and members of Robin Hood Circle, Inter Nos Circle and TUnited States of America Circle. A most en- joyable evening was spent after the routine of business, for there was a programme of liter- ary exercises, dsncing ana a collation. Dur- ing the festivities the Cakland Circle wes visited by the members of Loyal Circle. Every one had a good time, and there was no need for a second invitation to come again, for each agreed to do so on the mer- tion that in the future there would be just such another social affair in Oakland’s meet- ing-place. The Knights of Honor. The new departure of Yerba Buena Lodge under the able administration of Dictator A. M. MacPherson is proving a great success in inducing the members to attend its sessions. There is always something interesting going on. Last Monday E. A. Falvey, past dictator, addressed the members upon “California and Its Natural Beautles—Animate and Inani- mate.” Reporter R. H. Noble read a poem by N. P. Willis end Treasurer Fairweather gave & humorous selection from a weli-known author. Kvery member of the order that at- tends the sessions of Yerba Buena will always find a pleasant evening’'s entertainment, be- sides which tne officers of the lodge are i uil; alive 10 the objects of the order.
