Or the last Saturday in June Amity Lodge entertained the membership of Templar Rebekah Lodge in its quarters in the Odd Fellows' bullding. There were many present, who enjoyed the en- tertainment provided, while the special guests of the evening felt that there was a true spirit of fraternity in the cordial welcome extended. After the speaking and the entertainment there were dancing and the serving of a collation, Jubilee Rebekah Lodge on the last Tuesday in June gave an entertainment and dance In Prospect Hall, I. O. O. ¥. building, which was attended by a very large numbeér of people, who were crier- tained with one of the most pleasing pro- grammes taat have ever been offered by a lodge of this branch of Odd Fellowship, The affair was under the management of Junior Past Noble Grand Erne Happ Ju- cobs, who was assisted by Samuel Jacobs as director general, Ada Gunsals, Minnie ¥. Dobbin, P. N. G.; Priscilla Munroe, Lucy Morrison and Mrs. J. T. Gibson. The several numbers were: Plano recital, Miss 1, Cox; recitation, Miss Zetta Henry; fancy toe dance, little Irene Bond; mono- logue, Miss Rae Goldstein; contralto solo, Bonnie Collins; French dance, Lillian Ros- bach; piano recital, Lola Gehrig.

Nich. ols, secretary of the general relief com- mittee, after months of close attention to the duties of their respective offices, decided to take a day off, so last week they went to Sausalito, hired a boat and started off on a fishing excursion. The anglers baited and fished for hours with the result that the president caught four rock cod and the secretary caught cold, but after returning to shore the latter “landed"” a candidate for Templar Lodge. The degree team of San Francisco, of which Willlam B. Curtls is master, re- cefved a set of robes last week which was purchased at a cost of $1200. These will be used the next time the team confers the degrees. On the last Saturday in June the team conferred the second de- gree on ten Initiates. R i e S The Red Men. REAT SACHEM TYRRELL re- ‘ ; cently pald an official visit to the tribe of Improved Order of Red Men at Ukiah, when the work was ex- emplified by the adoption of four pale- faces. The membership of the tribe there is made up of the very best element and v \ | | inclydes many of the professional men of the place. After the council fire had been extinguished there was a great feast and the long and short talks were unusually interesting and eloquent. Subsequently the great Sachem visited the jtribe at Fort Bragg and there the work of the Order was also exemplified by the adoption of four palefaces. After the closing of the tribe’s council there was a feast of corn and roast pig and many toasts were eloquently responded to. The enthusiasm in Mendocino Coun- ty as to Redmanship is such that it is probable that in a short time a new tribe, which is being organized in Mendocino City, will be instituted. It is being or- ganized by T. D. Johnson and he has al- ready secured sixty signatures to a peti- tion for a charter. Last Monday night the great sachem visited Metamoras Tribe in Redwood Cit where a number of palefaces were adop ed for the sitting tribe by the team of Sagamore Tribe of Palo Alto. The event wff followed by a banquet and many long and short falks. Last Tuesday night Yosemite Tribe of this city bad its big adoption in the pres- ence of the great sachem, nearly fifty palefaces being Instructed in the myster- fes of the adoption degree of the order. Last Friday the team of Pocahontas Tribe of this city accompanied the great sachem to Grass Valley for the purpose of conferring the degrees on a class of palefaces. The team also took part in the Fourth of July celebration in that city. From the reports that are coming in it Is appparent that the gain in this or- der during the term will be about 3000. Oneida Council, D. O. P., at its meeting June 18 adopted twelve palefaces with the usual impressive ceremonies. The Poca- hontas of the council having recently married, the council, through Mr. Brown, presented to her a handsome parlor chair with the best wishes of the councll and expressed hopes for a life of happiness.
