Several of the local business houses have decorated their places of business with emblems of the Odd Fellows. One of these was the Emporium, which had placed » fine display over the main entrance, and it was to have been illuminated by elec- tricity. Last evening while the lights were being tested there was a leak and the bunting caught fire, and in a very short space of time the entire decoration was a mass of ruins. At 7 o'clock last night _the electrical il- lumination at the Odd Fellows' building was tested and the effect in red, white, blue and gold was grand and effective. The lights were allowed tc burn but a short time. The building will be illum- inated all to-night and to-morrow and Fri- day nights.

LL;&L evening there was a very brilllant assemblage of the members of the order in the Sherman-Clay Hall, the occasion being a reception tendered by the seven local chapters to the grand officers. The function was under the direction of the following named, who constituted the committee of arrangements: Mrs. Ada R. Duncan (chairman), E. K. Head, Em- ma Ella Bradley, Dr. James M. Gassa- way, Mrs. Lydia A. Steele, Mrs. Frances Bonnefield, M. J. Savage, Mrs. Anna Johnson, Mrs. Carter, Andrew Christen- sen, Mrs. James A. Wilson, Mrs. Hickey, M.

Dr. Gassaway was master of ceremo- nies, and he called for the overture from “Zampa' by the orchestra, then followed a grand march led by Dr. Gassaway, patron, and Mrs. Lydia A. Steele, matron of Ivy Chapter. After that the worthy grand matron, Mrs. Maria A. Plerce, and the worthy grand patron, Dr. Lawrence, received the delegates and shook hands with each. May Frances Code favored with a con- traito solo, “To All Eternity,” rendering it in a most charming voice; Mrs. Celina Ciprio recited “The Dandy Fifth,” by Frank H. Gassaway, and for an encore gave the “Pride of Battery B,” by the same writer. The programme concluded with vocal selections by the Knicker- bocker quartet. Then tfollowed a pro- gramme of dances, Ernest K. Head being the floor director. The four hundred ladies and gentlemen who composed the party | did not depart until midnight.

In the effort to make their initial din- ner a success those having the arrange- ments in charge gave the chef carte blanche impressing on him the necessity of doing his best, regardless of the dam- age. The consequence was that a menu was provided which carried the guests in an eplcurean ecstacy far on into the evening. When the cigars had been lighted and the black-coffee cups had been filled for the second time Toastmaster Com- mander Henry Glass, U. S. N, arose and after making a few introductory remarks called upon the following gentlemen, who arose in the order named, and spoke on the following subjects: Prayer, Rev. Arthur Crosby; “The Society of American Wars,” D. Starr Jordan; “The Navy,” > Caspar Frederick Goodrich; *‘Ca Hon. George C. Perkins: *“The Major C. L. Tilden; “Bullding a Navy,” Irving M. Scott. In all of these speeches and in the impromptu ones that followed there was not a sentence ut- tered that was not pregnant with wisdom and bright with wit. The dinner was a complete success and s0 much did those present enjoy it that the sun was only a little behind them in_rising. Previous to the banquet a meeting was held in the hotel, at which the following office were elected to serve during the vear Commander, Captain Glass, U. S. N.; recorder, A. J lwards; vice commander, V. ond vice commander, C. P. registrar, W. H. Anderson; historian, W A. Brewer; chancellor, Hon. R. C. Harrl chaplain, Rt. Rey. W. H. Morelan rgeon, Colonel C. R.

ANNUAL SESSION F FORESTERS RESNO, Oct. 17.—The tenth annual session of the California High Court, Independent Order of For- esters, convened at Spinney Hall this afternoon. High Chief Ranger G. A. McElfresh of Los Angeles presided, and all the other officers were present. Over 400 delegates were in attendance. Most of the afternoon was spent in or- ganizing the High Court. The reports of the various officers were approved, in- cluding an address by the high chiet ranger. Mr. McElfresh reviewed the progress made by the order during the vear. In speaking of the prosperity of the order Mr. McElfresh stated that its membership consisted of 150,000 young and vigoro m whos: > age is un- der 38 years. It h a urplus fund amounting to over $3,500,000 and an aver- age death rate of less than six to the thousand. He stated that the order had distributed over $7,000,000 among the widows and orphans of deceased breth- ren. The speaker ascribed the falling off of business which followed the readjust- ment of the rates of assessment to lack of information upon the part of the gen- eral membership as to the importance and necessitly of the readjustment and the keen competition of sister societies that have not yet seen the importance of re- adjusting thelr rates, and which by rea- son of their few years of experience in the fraternal insurance fleld have not been forced to do so by the natural laws governing in_the premises. ~ He thought the falling off of new business only a temporary con. dition, because the change was in har- mony’ with the opinions of all the lead- ing and intelligent minds in fraternal in- surance. The order, explained the speaker, had suffered no loss in member- ship by reason of the readjustment. Other features of Forestry were also discussed by the chief ranger, and his address was frequently interrupted by applause. To-night a grand banquet was given at Armory Hall in honor of the visiting For- esters by members of the local court. To-morrow the High Court will be in session all day. In the evening the high officer delegates will be given a recep- tion at the Barton Opera-house by the citizens of Fresno. On the day following a_suburban rallway excursion will take place, and they will be banqueted at the Maltermoro winery.
