Curtis is the maater, for the first time conferred the second degree in its new robes. There were fourteen to receive that degree and the scene, as they were being obligated and receiving the charges, was one of the most beauti- ful that has ever been witnessed in an 0dd Fellows' lodge room In this city. The robes for the officers are the most magnificent that have ever been mads for a team in San Francisco. There are twenty-one in the team and each on that occasion performed his part in a faultless manner. After the work of the evening there was an adjournment to the banquet hall, where a supper was served to near- Iy three hundred who had witnessed the work. There were responses to toasts, and a remarkable fact was that less than balf a dozen of the party asked to be excused before the close of the speaking, which lasted until midnight.

Last week he was with Spartan Encampment in Stockton, where after the work of the evening he was the special guest at a banquet. On September 5 he will visit the encampment at Sonora. —_— Native Daughters. HE following circular letter has been sent. by Grand Secretary Miss ‘Laura J. Frakes to the several par- lors of the jurisdiction: “September 9 is the, Native Daughters of the Golden West's day for honoring the ploneers of California. The observance of this anniversary should be oa the day itself, or at the regular meeting nearest that date. The following are suggestions for the observance of the day: Public re- ceptions to ploneers on September 9; par- ticipation as a parlor in local celebra- tions, either algne or in conjunction with othed organizafions; musical and literary programmes; under good for the order in parlors, a programme to include historical papers on ploneers, on Californla as a State, the reading of the first vice presi- dent’s charge in regard to the ploneers, reading of the past president’s charge in regard to ploneer mothers. The above are mere suggestions. The parlors have full power to arrange programmes for that day and for newspaper notices of ploneer day observances.” Past Grand President Eliza D. Keith, who is chairman of the committes ap- pointed by the Grand Parlor on promo- tion, publicity and historical interests, an- nounces that she is very anxious to se- cure all peems published on California, on the pioneers and all historical data that may be produced in the several par- Jors on September 9, €0 as to enable her to make a full report of what was done on that date In the observance of Ploneer day. The other members of the commit- tee are: Grand President Stella Finkel- dey, Past Grand Presidents Belle W. Con- rad and Cora B. Sifford, Rose Knekow of Joaquin Parlor and Fannle L. Prather of Los Angeles Parlor. Another duty of this committee Is to arrange for the publica- tion of Native Daughters of the Golden West souvenir cards and the designing of Native Daughters of the Golden West souvenir spoons. Mrs. Ella Caminett! of Ursula Parlor, Jackson, Amador County, has taken up her residence in Berkeley, where she will remain until her sons graduate at the university. A new parlor will soon be instituted in Santa Clara, probably in time to take part in the Admission day celebration in San Jose. Mrs. Lilly A. Reichling-Dyer, the foun- der of the Order of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, has gone East to en- joy a few months’ vacation with her hus- band’s relatives. Mrs. Mocker, wife of Andrew Mocker, grand organizer for the Native Sons, was stricken with paralysis a short time since and passed away suddenly at her home. She had been a member of the Native Daughters for a number of years and at the time of her death was a member of Keith Parlor, under whose auspices her funeral was held August 20. Gabrielle, the baby of the local pariors, will take part in the Admission day cele- bration in S8an Jose, and so will.Genevieve Parlor. Gabrielle Parlor gave an at home in its mesiing place in Eagles Hall on Au- gust 28. Mrs. James Kerfoot of Amapola Parlor, Sutter Creek, is in this city on a visit. During her stay here she visited Grand Secretary Frakes, who is a member of that parlor. Royal Achates. RVING C. BARIGHT of Omaha, Neb., 'supreme president of the Royal Achates, is visiting this coast and re- cently was tendered a reception by San Francisco Lodge No. 25 in its lodgeroom in Austrian Hall. J. H. Fitzgerald, the president of the lodge, gave the visitor ‘welcome in behalf of the San Francisco membership and in a well worded ad- dress spoke of the good work the order is engaged in, after which he introduced the supreme president, who {s the foun- * der of the order, and who stated that he was glad to be once more with the lodge he had instituted and to note the progress it had made, it having increased in membership from twenty at the time of institution to 100. In the course of a very Interesting address on fraternity and fraternal benefit associations he said: “It seems strange to me that & man or woman over the age of 18 years can be found in this great land of ours who is not already a member of one or more of these socleties when we take in con- sideration the small cost and great bene- fit to be derived by membership. I was ‘old a short time ago by a minister who uad been preaching over forty years that he believed he had done a great amount of good, yet he could not tell how many souls he had saved or how many poor and si¢k be bad helped, but sald he: ‘Brother Baright, I believe you have done more good to humanity by founding the Royal Achates in the three short years of its existence than I have done in all these years of preaching. When I see how fast the amount pald beneficiaries is increasing in our noble young order, and I know what our lodge has done to assist the needy, I can but say you in your work. If I could see the actual results from the Woval Achates my satisfaction in thy work would be beyond noTeheulu.' - \
