On the night of February 13 the San Francisco Cabinet paid an offfcial visit to Paclfic Council, in the Native Sons’ building. On that occasion there was a good representation of the cabinet pres- ent, and a number of the members of Misslon Council were present. The officers for the first time since installation ini- tiated two strangers, and astonished all present by thelr proficlency in the work. Not one of the officials used a book and each was almost letter perfect in the memorized work, something unusual for a new set of officers. This was highly commended by those who under good of the order were called upon to speak. The principal speaker on behalf of the cabi- net was Merton C. Allen, delegate from Mission Council. The other speakers were President Ernest H. Hills of the cabinet, the secretary of that body and the pres- fdent of Mission Councll. After the close of the meeting Pacific Council manifested its hospitality by serving to the members and the visitors a tamale supper and re- freshments. - At the next session of the San Francis- co Cabinet, which will be on the evening of the 26th inst., the committee on exten- slon of the order will present a number of suggestions for the advancement of the order in this city, and if they are adopted they will create more gnthusiasm than has been known in this order for years. On the second Tuesday in February Golden Gate Council initiated two strang- ers in the full form of the three degrees, and conducted the work in a most admir- able manner. After the work of the even- ing it was announced that for some time past the council had been in the habit of donating a badge to the retiring ex-presi- dent and that a certain amount. was voted for that purpose, but that the first ever given, the one to ex-President N. R. Arter, had cost/ a certain amount less than what had been pald since for em- blematic buttons. To remedy this it was decided to have the badge given to ex- President Arter embellished by the addi- tion of a ruby, a diamond and a sapphire, to represent the three colors of the order —red, white and blue—at a cost to equal the value of the other badges. The quar- tet during the evening entertained with vocal selections. El Dorado Council at its last held meet- ing had several candidates for initiation. California Council on the 18th, after the initiation of several candidates, including one of San Francisco’s most prominent officials, recefved a visit from the San Francisco Cabinet, when a great deal was sald for the good of the order by President of the Cabinet H Wheelock and others. utine b ness was followed a collation programme of entertainment. ills, W.
