SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER FJFraternities. ALIFORNIA CHAPTER No. 183 of the Order of the Eastern Star held its first meeting un- der the direction of the newly installed officers on the night of the 19th inst. Phineas P. Fer- guson, the worthy patron; Dr. Bertha W. Stark, the worthy matron, and in fact all the officers entered into the epirit of the work of the evening with a great deal of enthusiasm, and acquitted themselves with much credit, each showing that considerable attention had been devoted to the study of the several duties. Dur- ing the evening Past Matron Mrs. Lizzie Tonningsen presented to each of those la- dies who were officers under her during her term, as well as those who acted as substitutes, a handsome Eastern Star souvenir spoon, and to the one who was the chaplain a fine star of the order. Tha chapter was informed that the boys’ brass band at the Masonic Home is doing well, and that it had recently played at the cornerstone ceremonies of the court- house in Martinez and at a concert at Stockton, and was greatly praised. The boys have become proficient under the leadership of George W. Bennett, and as the boys were furnished the funds to re- cure instruments by California Chapter it was thought that the chapter should now furnish a fund to keep the band in music, books and other things that are a first-class band. After hearing the statement it was decided to give a grand concert and dance in Golden Gate Hall on the night of the Sth of next February. There will be a programme of and the boys’ nd will appear and give several num- The committees necessary to carry out the idea were appointed. The com- mittee of arrangements is composed of Mrs. Lizzie Tonningsen (chairman), Min- nie C. Stebbins. Georgiana Caley, Emma Florence Liebold and Henry Kunst. The chairmen of the other committees are: Reception, Dr. W. C. Hassler; floor, Dr. James W. Likens; entertainment, Chief George W. Wittman; tickets, Isidor Hor- ton, and printing, John Tonningsen. At the meeting there was a social hour, games, dancing and wishes for success for the approaching year. On the night of the 20th inst. Golden Gate, the mother chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, had a Christmas tree party in Golden Gate asylum for its mem- bers and friends. The attendance was large, and there were present a number of the matrons and past matrons and other_officers of local chapters. FPast Grand Patron Darling, in the garb of the modern Santa Claus, took possession of a prettily decorated tree that was in a side room and to each one in attend- ance gave a present—not expensive, it is true, but symbolic of the good feeling that exists in the chapter. After the dis- tribution of the gifts there was a short programme of entertainment and dancing, after which a dainty collation was served. At the parting there were exchanged the compliments of the holi- day season, and all expressed themselves exceedingly well pleased with the first social function of the new officers. James E. Parmerlee, the genial and well-known outside sentinel for Mission Chapter of the Kastern Star, has come to the conclusion that it is not well for man to dwell alone; so he has determined to get married. e event will take place with the advent of the new year. The many friends in and out of the chapter of this very courteous and oblig- ing officer will gladly congratulate him on the step he has resolved to take. On the night of the 23d inst. the new officers of Beulah Chapter of South San Francisco initiated three candidates in a manner that astonished those who were Among these were Past Grand Patron G. L. Darling, Past Grand Mrs. Nellie A. Darling, Grand Secretary Mrs. Kate S. Willats, Past Pa- fron and Ma‘ron Mr. and Mrs. John Ton- ningsen of California Chapter and Wil- liam S. Moses. The visitors all had some- thing to say about the work, and Past Patron Tonningsen declared that it was the best work that he had ever witnessed by officers immediately after installation. The work was followed by a social hour. San Francisco Chapter will install in the Masonic Temple January 4. On the night of the 26th inst. Harmony Chapter No. 124 held its first meeting after installation and the new officers entered upon the discharge of their re- spective duties. Several applicants, whose petitions had been presented at the previ- ous session, were favorably reported upon They will be initiated at the next meeting.

Recently the Lagdies’ Auxiliary to Cali- fornia Commandery No. 1, Knights Tem- plar, has had a number of pleasant quiet social functions, notably one at the resi- L | dence of Mr. and Mre. S. A. McDonnell at 1212 Fell street and a whist party at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. . Ta- ber at 3360 Twenty-third street.

At the meeting of the San Francisco Cabinet of the National Union on the night of the 26th inst.. J. N. Bunting, pres- ident, in the chair, a number of mafters were discussed for the good of the order, but as that was the last meeting of the term and the election of new officers will be held at the January meeting, action thereon was lald over until after the se- lection of the new officials. A press com- mittee was appointed whose duties it shall be to visit the local councils and furnish the news of the order to the offi- cial organ and to the daily papers. Sec- retary Fred H. Hastings made a request that all of the local councils send him a list of the new delegates to the cabinet before the next meeting so that he could prepare a complete roster of those who during the next term will be entitled to representation in the cabinet. San Francisco Council, on the night of the 21st inst., elected officers for the en- suing term. The names of these appear under the heading of ‘“Fraternal llec- tions™ in this issue. This council has of late taken on a degree of enthusiasm that speaks well for its prosperity and ad- vancement. The announcement has been made that after the first of January the initiatory fee will be $3 50 in each council. At the meeting of the cabinet last week President Bunting, after the announce- ment of the prize winners, as alread, published in The Call, stated that durinl the first contest, which ran during a pe- riod of seven months, forty-two were in- troduced by prize winners into the order, while during the filve months’ contest just closed fifty-five were introduced and ini- tiated at less cost per capita than during the previous and longer contest.

P F-1-d-e-1-1-t-y ge on the nigh 23d inst. had the last h\lfla[urygwél’?(l llll;‘: der the officers whose term expires with the year. The interest in the event was manifested by the largest attendance of members that has been known for some time. There were also present a large number of visitors. Two strangers were admitted by initiation and two by card. During the term of the present noble .ing one. grand, C. F. Phillips, the membership was increased by twenty-two, b ng the roll up to 332. A great deal of this in- crease was the result of the untiring ef- forts of the noble grand, who during the 8iX months he has been in office spared neither time, money nor energy to ad- vance the Interests of the lodge. Next month he will take his place with a num- ber of the young past grands who dur- ing the past few years have worked hard to bufld up this ever prosperous and pop- ular lodge. After the inttiation there was served an excellent collation under the supervision of N. M. Peterson, A. T. Downes and Henry Osthoff. - Two pleas: ant hours were spent around the table, at the head of which Noble Grand Phil- lips acted as toastmaster. 'Before calling on any one to speak, he tol¢ of the many happy hours he had spent during his term in the service of the lodge.

It is expected that| there will be a large attendance on that night. The continuing of Captain Korn- beck in the position of commander of the corps is a compliment to an officer who_is one of the best drillmasters in | the Patriarchs, and it is a recognition of | his earnest endeavors to advance the can- ton and bring it to a degree of efliciency of which every member of that branch of the (fl)rder of Odd Fellows may well feel | proud. The Rebekahs. Next Wednesday night Oriental Rebek- ah Lodge No. % will tender a reception to | Deputy Presldent Mrs. Floy C. Urquhart and her staff in the lodge hall in the Odd Fellows’ building.

Donoho, daughter of Mrs. Donoho, secretary of the California as- sembly, graduated at the Denman school iast week, and on that occasion presented to the classroom a beautiful portrait of the late President McKinley. Her pre- | sentation speech was a gem of oratory | that was most favorably commented Gpoh | by the many who were present and lis- | tened to the exercises. The young lady has inherited much of the talent of her gifted mother. The various lodges of the city are get- ting ready for installation of officers. California Lodge is the banner lodge this term, having admitted by initiation more than thirty members. . Templar Lodge, which has done well during the term which is closing, had an | initiation last night and then there was a banquet to the outgoing and the offi- cers elect. Native Daughters. The Christmas tree party of Darina Parlor, given in the soclal hall of the Red | Men’s building on the night of the 23d | inst., was a pleasant affair that was in | keeping with the functions that have been | given in the past by this subordinate of | the Native Daughters of the Golden West. There was a present from the tree for each one who attended, and the Darlna{ girls amused themselves by hurling cas- carones at any one who was within reach. The dance programme Kept those in at- | tendance together until midnight. The | affair was conducted by Lucle Hammer- | smith, Bdith Brown, Dalsie Nepp and Miss Unger. The fourteenth anniversary celebration of the institution of Califia Parlor No. of Sacramento, recently held, was a d cided success in every way. ere w in the early part of the evening the pre- sentation of a farce entitled ““An Obsti- nate Family” by a number of the mem- bers, who acquifted themselves in a cred- itable manner for non-professionals. This was followed by a banquet, at which there were as special guests Miss Mary Bur- gess, president of La Bandera Parlor, and Miss Kate Crowell, president of Sutter Parlor. The hall was prettily decorated with smilax, Christmas berries and lan- | terns. The tables were decorated with smilax, choice flowers, berrfes and can- dles. The following was the menu, quite | poetical: “A good digestion to you all shower a welcome on ZHenry vIIL Eastern Oysters on the Half Shell. “‘Drenched in the gea, hold, i Notwithstanding, their freshness.” | —Antony and Cleopatra. Bread and Butter. “Give us this day our daily bread.” —Book of Books. Crab Salad. Potato Salad.

Candies. “The first taste of sweets Is sweetest last.” —Richard IL. Rafsins. Nuts. Fruits. “We are yours in the garden.” —Winter's Tale. ‘While the good things of the menu were being discussed and enjoyed Mrs. Maggle Schroth, president of Califia Parlor, who presided as toast mistress, called for re- sponses to toasts as follows: ‘Ploneers,” Miss Bella Johnston; “Native Sons,” Miss M. Johnson; “Twentieth Century,” Mrs, Frankie Greer: “Our Beloved Or der,” Past Grand President Mrs. Ema | Gett; “The Flag,” Miss M. Burgess, and “Sutter Parlor,’” Miss Kate Crowell. | The first_offictal visit to local parlors | by Grand President Mrs. Genevieve W. | Baker was the one made last night to | Alta Parlor in the Native Sons’' building. There was a large attendance and the grand officer was received with all the bonors due to her station and in that fraternal spirit which has always been manifested by the members of this well known parlor. After the ceremonial busi- ness was over there was a banquet, cov- | ers being set for 125. Mrs. Baker was presented a handsome basket of flowers by the parlor and a silver cold meat fork and sardine fork by her personal friends in the organization Ancient Order of Workmen. At the last held meeting of Bernal Lodge of the Ancient Order of Workmen a class of elght strangers were introduced by Special Organizer B. D. Goodrich and | were initiated in the amplified form, the screen work being introduced on that oce casion. Prosperity Lodge has appointed a com- mittee to arrange for a public installation of its new officers. A correspondent asks: “A committee on investigation is appointed with instruc- ticns to report at the next meeting on the character of two applicants for admission to membership. At the next meeting two members of the committee absent them- selves, but the third one is present and reports favorably. Three brothers in the lodgeroom declare that they have known the applicants for upward of five wears, | Would not the master workman have been justified in appointing two of these brothers on the investigation committee in place of the absent ones instead of turning the candidates away?’ Brothers who accept a position on a committee should perform the duty assigned them and if unable to come to the lodge, as in the case cited, to e a report on the applications, should have sent in a report in writing and excuse for non-attendance. Having neglected to either come to the lcdge or send in a written report the mas- ter work once more an goln(lng two of the three brothers who ad known the applicants for more than five years in the place of the delinquents. | : JANICE MEREDITH | Modjeska & James| 'THE SILV 29, 1901.
