At the session of the Supreme Grove of the Anclent Order of Druids held in 1898 | authority was granted to the jurisdiction | of the State of California to organize a | grand circle of the order, which is the ladies’ branch of the organization. In| pursuance of this authority, Grand Noble Arch James F. Martinoni some time since issued an order to the several circles of | the order to elect delegates to a meeting to be held for the purpose of taking the | necessary steps to proceed to the organi- zation of a grand circle. The meeting | held in Druids'" Hall on Sutter street a | since was called to order by nd arch, and the following , druidessés and arch drulds the noble gra named were 1 From Boadicea Circle No. 3, Frances J.

Noble Grand Arch Martinonl was chosen temporary chairman and John M. Graves temporary secreta. After the objects of the meeting had been stated by the chairman there was a general discussion of the proposition and each delegate gave expression to his views as to the benefits to accrue from the formation of such a body.

May Render the Caddy a Thing of the Past. tch to The Call PASADENA, Feb. 3.—Franc L. Grannis of this city, a wealthy devotee of the game of golf, is preparing for patent a new kind of golf club, which he thinks and is confident will not only double his | fortune but will revolutionize the royal Special Dis game of golf. The caddle will be extinct in | a few years if this invention proves to be a success. We have the chainless bicycle, | { the horseless carriage, smokeless powder, ete.: and Mr. Grannis insists that the cad- diless golfer should now fall in line. The use a caddy can be put to when he asing b: is carrying golf clubs. So Mr. Grannis has invented and applied | for a patent for a golf club which will re- duce to a minimum of one the number of sticks which it is necessary for the scien- tific golfite to have in his company. The club is in reality a patent cleak, which is supplied with & mechanism that | quickly transforms it into any of the| sticks commpnly used—the lofter, the put- | ter, the mifiron and even the driver. It may be made either left-handed or right- | handed and changed to suit the condition of the player. The desired effect is se- cured by a screw and pivot arrangement that can be easily operated, sliding the heel of the club upward or downward and adjusting it.to the proper angle. Mr. Grannis says that the weight of the mech- anism is not sufficient to interfere with it. - Lottie M Seized. MONTEREY, Feb. 3.—Captain Hall of | the sloop Lottie M, who sailed from this place to Magdalena, Lower California, several months ago with a party of min- ers, has got into trouble with the officials of the Mexican Government and his ves- sel has been seized. He is charged with a_violation of the customs regulations. The particulars of the affair are not known here. RULE CHANGED -Soldiers Get Former Positions. R SRR J WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—The President has amended civil service rule 11 by add- | ing to section 4 the proviso: ‘“And, pro- | vided further, that nothing contained in this rule, or in any regulation made in pursuance thereof, shall be construed so as to prevent an appointing officer in his discretion from promoting & person who served in the military or naval service of the United States in the late war of the | rebellion or in the Spanish-American war | and who was honorably discharged ther from, who has been reinstated in the Zer- vice to a grade or position below that from which he was separated to a grads or position no higher than that from | which he was separated.” | The particular case which brought about this amendment was that of a $160 | clerk who enlisted In the army during th war with Spain and upon his dli(‘larx— asked for. reinstatement under the rul which permits the reinstatement of sol diers without limitation as to time he was separated from the service. It happencd that the only vacancy in his partieular branch of the service at the time he made application was that of assistant mes- senger at $720 per annum. Being in gre: | need, the soldier accepted this place on | the promise that he should receive pre motion to a higher grade as soon as a cancy occurred. In the following week he was selected for promotion, and the Civil Service Commission was not informed of the fact, when it transpired that under the rules of the commission he could not be advanced until he had served two years as assistant messenger, and then only on condition that he passed the regz- ular clerk’s examination. 6 matter was brought to the attention of the President, with the result that the rule was imme- diately amended as stated | BARK QUIRINAL WRECKED.
