A banquet at the Ho- | tel Europe followed. The following day the grand officers left for Los Angeles, and when they arrived there were re- ceived by a committee that showed thein the sights of the southern metropolis. They visited Morton, the French grove, in which the noble grand arch has many old-time friends, and the meeting was a most pleasant one. Three candidates were initiated by the officers in a most satisfac- tory menner. Under good of the order the noble grand arch addressed the broth- ers in French and he was followed by the grand secretary, who spoke in English, both addresses being weil received. They were followed by District Deputy Fallan- dy, who gave a short history of the grove, which was organized in 1886. It is now in a very prosperous condition, and its membership is of the best citizens of the French colony. On the evening of the 12th the French colony of Los Angeles tendered Noble Grand Arch Godeau a banquet at the swellest restaurant in the city. It started at 8 o'clock and was brought to a close at 2 in the morning. The guest of honor was welcomed by Fallandy on behalf of the colony, and he made a feeling response.

The presentation speech was a very complimentary one, calculated to impress the recipient with the high re- gard in which he is held by his fellow members. There was, as usual, a good attendance at the entertainment that was given on the night of the 12th inst. in Odd Fellows’ Hall by the National Union Soclal and | Literary Club, and all enjoyed the excel- | lent programme that was presented for | their entertainment.

Darling on behalf of these friends presented him a beautiful gold watch charm. It is in the | form of a Masonic emblem, made of three leaves that open on a hinge, and on each leaf there is in enamel the particular em- blem of the various branches of Masonry with which hé is connected. This was fol- lowed by the presentation to him by Mrs. Dunn, whe was royal matron during his term,’of a silver smoking set.

Hutaff as the committee of arrangements, with instruction to “spring a surprise on that occasion.” The ball given in Native Sons’ Hall on the Sth inst. by the general commuitee of the San Francisco tribes of the Improved Order of Red Men was a pleasant social function that despite the unpleasant con- ditton of the weather was attended by a goodly number of members of the order and their friends. The grand march was led by Floor Manager John W. Kelly and his charming sister, Miss May Kelly, fol- lowed by Assistant Floor Manager Thom- as M. Seary and Miss Mabel Seary. The programme was made up of -twelve num- bers and three extras, for which there was delightful music. Great Sachem Boyes and the great chiet of records have returned from a tour of visitations to the tribes in San Bernar- dino, Riverside and Los Angeles.

A few days ago he was found insensible at the foot of the stairs in the Red Men's building and when taken up was found to have sustained a fracture of one of his ankles and of one of his ribs.

The work was followed by addresses by the grand officers and a number of the lesser lights of the order. The valentine party and icecream social that was given in the Pythian Castle by the wives and daughters of members of Court Seal Rock to the members on the night of the 13th inst. was a novel and delightful affair.

Jakobs, the junior past chief ranger, as 2 token of appreciation and esteem.

The receipts during that time amounted to $406 and’ the disbursements to This committee relieves the courts of ‘a great deal of labor and will undoubtedly be of as great value in re- lleving the sick and distressed of the or- der who may be ‘“caught unawares” in this city as are like ‘Committees of other and older fraternities. Court Zenith at its next meeting will initiate a_class of twelve strangers. Court Justice had a high jinks last week in the Alcazar bulldjng. Improved Order of Red Men.

The members of that subordinate were invited to become the guests of Clinton Lodge. The invita- tion was accepted and then followed one of the most pleasant fraternal gatherings that has been known in that place. This shows that the knights are fraternal out- side of the membership of the order as well as within it. Saxon Lodge will initiate seven candi- dates at its next meeting.

Patton in relation to the organization of the band a few months ago and the rapid progress it has made, the juvenile band in neat uniform, led by the 7-year-old drum major, Master Foster, appeared and played an {ntroduc- tory plece; after which there were several selections by the boys, who showed great proficiency, considering the short time they have been under instruction.

American Companions. The indications are that the minstrel en- tertainment that s to be given under the auspices of the associated circles of the Companions of the Forest of America is destined to be a great success. Those who are to take part in the same will hold a meeting in tne Liberty Hall of the Alca- zar buuding on the night of tne 19th inst. Last Tuesday night Inter Nos Circle had a large number of its members in at. tendance to witness the initiation of sev- eral candidates.

The visitors highly complimented tne work of the officers and after the good of the order there was a collation and then a so- cial hour. The event of that part of the evening’s entertainment was a christening party. A 2l-year-old “baby” was named and after the ceremony the ‘‘baby’” was showered with all sorts of gifts tnat ars suitable for a little one under three months of age. Then there was dancing -until midnignt. Despite the. best efforts of Mrs. L. At- wood, the circle deputy, to maintain Pre- sidio 'Circle in standing, it has decided to 80 out of business. ‘Lhie reason for this is that the majority of the young ladies who were on the membership roll married and thought more of home than they did of the circle. New Century Circle on the evening of the 6th Inst. had a snowball party in the social hall of the Alcazar building that was attended by as many as could crowd into the hall. After the grand march snowballing commenced, and it.was kept up until the supply of artificial snow gave out, and that was not until Il o'clock. There was an' excellent programme of dances-and the whole affair under the-di- rection of Mesdames E, H. Zeissing, C. F. Large, Bell Burton, M. Wilkins and Sarah Veverson was a great success. Mrs. H. Lemme was the floor manager. The next session of the Grand Circle of the Companions of the Forest of America will be held in June. The politicians of the order are already at work, and from these are obtained the names of those who would like to hold office in the grand body during the ensuing term. For the office of grand chief companion it is probable that the present sub-chief, Mrs. H. Worms, will be advanced; for sub-chief are named Miss A. Rogge of Watsonville, Mrs. A. Davis of Oakland, Mrs. J. H. Krimminger of Los Angeles and Mrs. N. E. Smith of this city; for grand financial secretary Miss Agnes D. Bremer of Ala- meda will be in nomination without oppo- sition, it is thought; still some say that a dark horse may be placed in opposition; for grand recording secretary, Mrs, At- wood will retire and Past Grand Chief Companion Mrs. Emma Harrington, it is said, will be named for that office (it was thought at one time that Mrs. R. Kemp van Ee, the grand treasurer, would be ad- vanced for sub-chief, but there is some doubt of her candidacy, and she will be contented to retain the treasurership if some one does not place Grand Trustee Miss E. Rappin in_nomination against her); for marshal, Frank X. Wallace of San Diego, the incumbent, may find an opponent in_Mrs. Sarah Preston: Miss Martha Pape is mentioned for right guide, and Mrs. M. Melehan of Petaluma and Miss Mary Foye of this city for left guide. There is some talk of advancing Mrs. D. O'Callaghan from outside to inside guard, while for outside guard E. H. Chamber- lin of this city has mention, as has also Herman Cohn of this city. For grand trustees are mentioned SBam Schweltzer, Mrs. Sarah Beverson and Mrs. M. Thoman of Stockton. It is sald that there will be a proposition to create two new offices, namely, grand orian!zer and grand lec: turer, provided the consent of the Su- preme Circle can be obtained, and that a very modest member of Inter Nos Circle proposes to change from present member- ship to beneficial, so as to be elected to the Grand Circle and run for the office ‘of grand lecturer, XKnights of the Maccabees.

In a circular to be issued by the grand chancellor he says: “Special invitations should be tendered the representatives of the press, so that proper publicity be glven and the general public be inter- ested in our work. The more that the world at large knows of our progress and achlevements and of the nobility of our alms the stronger will this splendid fra- ternity become intrenched in the loving hearts of the people and the greater will become our power for doing good.” Ancient Order of Workmen.

Dr. McLaughlin Gives Reasons for the Popu= larity of His Methods as Compared With Those of the Physician. HOW ELECTRICITY RESTORES MUSCULAR STRENGTH. Now that it is generally conceded that “Electricity is life,” or the basis of life, says Dr. McLaughlin, it's a pretty good thing to understand why I am so successful, and why physicians as a rule get so little satisfaction from the use of electricity. In the first place few doctors are experts in electricity. Many are abso- lutely ignorant of its wonderful possibilities and know nothing of its appli- cation. The main reason, however, Is the inconvenience. A doctor who treats with electricity has to disrobe his patient. The most he will give is fifteen to twenty minutes to a treatmegt. By that time the doctor is tired and the patient is tired. Say this is done three times a week for a month. Think of the trouble and the expense. It must cost at least two dollars a visit, $24 a month, and it takes more time than is required to write a prescrip- tion. The doctor finds it a burden, and it's hard for the patient to come regularly. Then the result—fifteen minutes a day for three days a week, gives the patient three hours of electricity per month, at a cost of $24 at least, while by my method he gets six hours) application every night while he sleeps, so 1 save him time and money and give him more benefit in one night than he gets from a doctor’s treatment in a month. The great New York nerve specialist, Hammond, must be given continuously to get results. Professors Beard and Rockwell, authoritles on electricity, say that "it electricity could be given in the form of pills and powders its use would increase a thousand fold.” My system is the one of giving a mild, continuous current forshouss every night, as the patient sleeps. The nérvous system drinks this in until it has become slowly saturated with the life. It has been taken up so slowly that it remains there and becomes a part of the natural force. This plan, repeated nightly for twenty or thirty nights, transforms a weak, de- bilitated system Into a mine of energy, where health is evident in every motlon. My appliance is put on when the patient retires; he feels the gentle, glowing current instantly, and regulates it to suit his taste, and then goes to sleep like a babe and awakens In the morning refreshed and full of this grand energy. This is repeated nightly until he is well. I treat my patlents just 3s you would a power engine. If a man is feel- “ing out of sorts, lacking in ambition and energy; If his nerves are weak, his stomach giving him no nourishment; if he has ‘“come and go” pains, or feels badly in any way, I know it is because he is low In electrical vitality. I increase his electric supply; that sets the human machinery going again, and away go his troubles. The human body, like the engine, will go right when it has the power. I furnish the power. If one is run down physically I can make him as vigorous as he ever was in his life. If he has a pain, I will cure it, and neither trouble will ever return. I solicit cases where doctors have falled. Most of my cures are people who have tried doctors and”patent medicines. I have written a book, which is beawifully {llustrated, describing my method of curing disease. I will send this free to any one requesting it. This book is full of the things which encourage the full development of Belts Free.” This offer is only a trick to health and vigor.
