One of the features of the session of the Grand Parlor of the. Native Daughters of the Golden West at Pa- cific Grove was the passage of the resolution to permit osteopathists to act as medical examiners for the ad- mission of candidates into sabordinate parlors. The constitution, which pro- vides that all candidates for member- ship must undergo a medical examina- tion, was not aitered. The practition- ers of the regular schools, who have examined candidates for many years past, claim that osteopathists cannot give the medical examination contem- plated hy the constitution, on the ground that they do not practice med- v a particular science. They sed the matter up to the grand president, and there is an intimation that if osteopath are permitted to pass upon ca for admission into the order the regulars will strike and there will be trouble for the order. Another feature was the appeal by Past Grand »sident Keith to the irand Parlor from the decision of Grand Fresident Finkeldey in ‘the Alta Parlor case, in which the ap- pellant sought to have expunged from the records a report affecting her, which Grand President Finkeldey de- clared to be unfraternal and which, she said, she would have asked to be expunged had she the power. This accupied a great deal of time,* and, while the result was not what the ap- pellant expected in her efforts to be set right, the whole matter was ven- tilated, and it showed up some mem- of the order in a very unpl nt light. The constitytion was amended in a manner that will prevent a recurrence of what was declared to be acts of in- justice in the Alta e many of the amendments adopted being presenteds by Past President Keith. She also pre- sented the first Native Daughters’ souvenir spoon, which was adopted and is now in the possession of the founder of the order. Dr. Amy Florence Tem- se, ple was appointed chairman of the finance committee and Miss Keith the chairman of the committee ¢n printing and supplies. The Grand Par- lor contributed $25 to the McKinnon memorial fund . . . Woodmen of the World. Stdte Organizer P. F. Gilroy has fitted up his offices in the Native Sons’ building as the headquarters of the Woodmen of the World in San Fran- cisco and has set aside a room in which committees of the order can hold meet- ings if crowded for room elsewhere. W. C. Krumm of Seattle has been ap- pointed a special organizer for the fifteen San Francisco camps. He comes to this city with the reputation of being “the cyclone organizér” and he pro- poses to astonish the Woodmen of this section, Last week thée Woodmen of this city tendered a banquet at a fashionable rotisserie to State Organizer Gilroy and Special Organizer Krumm. A. B. Craw of Mission Camp has been elected chairman of the visiting com- mittee, vice Gilroy, promoted State or- ganizer. Arrangements are being made for a reception in July in Native Sons’ Hall under the auspices of the visit- ing committee to P. F. Gilroy to show appreciation of his services in the past and pleasure at his promotion ‘as State organizer. Richmond Camp and Richmond Circle will jointly give an entertain- ment and dance in the hall on the cor- ner of Clement street and Fourth ave- nue on the evening of July 8. North End Camp is making arrange- ments to celebrate its third anniversary by a banquet. Golden Gate Camp is striving to be- come the banner camp of the jurisdic- tion. On June 1 it had 1819 members in good standing and on the 27th the number had been increased to 1843. This camp will install its officers in public July 18 in Native Sons’ Hall and on that occasion there will be an en- tertainment and a dance, also a short talk by State Organizer Gilroy. The new State organizer has issued a circular to the neighbors of Alameda County in which he calls attention to the approaching fifteenth anniversary of the order and asks for the initiation of fifteen candidates In each of the fifteen different camps on fifteen dif- ferent nights by fifteen different sets of officers and drill teams. And from each consul commander and clerk he has obtained a promissory note to de- liver fifteen candidates for initiation on a particular night and if all are not de- livered an extension of time will be granted, but interest in the nature of additional candidates will be exacted. The officers-elect of Redwood Circle and those of Golden West Camp will be jointly installed in public on the night of July 19. The merhbers of Redwood Circle and their friends went on an excursion last week to Vallejo on the Corcoran. The affair was arranged by Neighbors Pearl de Gana, Wilder and Prader. Mrs. Jennie S. Clark, for a long time clerk of Redwood Circle and recognized as a very energetic worker in this order and in the Druidesses, has re- moved to Sacramento, which will be her future home, her husband having secured a permanent position in the capital city.

The eulogy by Past Grand Applegate was a most eloquent tribute to the memory of the late Justice of the Ha- waiian Islands. s On the last Saturday in June, Temp- lar Rebekah Lodge tendered a recep- tion to Mrs. Alma Isabella Jensen, a member of the lodge, wno recently re- tired frem the office of president of the California Assembly of Rebekahs, in token of its appreciation of the suc- cessful term she had.

I Jensen, Past Distriet ¥ Mrs. Flora Burgman, Captain ‘Parker, Past Grand Patriarch Foster, Noble Grand Grace M. Baird, E. C. Stock, Brigadier General H. O. Brower and several others.

After the congratulations there was an instrumental solo by Madame Louder; recitation, Mrs. Grant; vocal solo, Mrs. Rose Pistolesi; solo, #enry Mauser, and cornet solo, Professor Sykes. The prospective bride was presented many beautiful flowers. The meeting of Ivy Chapter on the last Tuesday in June was one of the most delightful that this chapter has held during the current term. The at- tendance of members and of visitors from every other local chapter, as well as from chapters across the bay, was very large, Of course this was due to the fact that the officers of Mission Chapter were on hand to confer the de- gree on a number of strangers for Ivy Chapter. The Missionites did the work so well that there was no room for crit- jcism other than of the most favorable nature. The work of the evening was followed by a banquet in the lower hall, which was served in excellent style under the direction of a most efficient committee of ladies under the chair- manship of Mrs. Norman. Ivy Chapter is always preparing novelties and the unusual event of the officers of another chapter, while not original in fraternal work, was novel in this order, and speaks well for the kindly feeling ex- isting between the members of Mission and Ivy chapters. TS S Ancient Order of Workmen. The committee of the Ancient Order of United Workmen having charge of the picnic that is to be given at EIl Campo, on July 16, has completed all arrangements for that event and, from indications, it looks as if this will be the 'ra.nden outing that has ever been the last day of June shows that Past Master Workman R. F. Mackenzie, one of the deput of the .Gfrand Lodge has been a most remarkable one Throt his efforts there e initlated into the order a much greater number of str: rs than by all the other depu ties combined. In this he has shown as much activity as when he was se- curing members for St. Johns Lodge, of which he is a member. The loss by lapses during June was remarkably small. The reports for that month show a renewed activity in the order Valley Loc e had a very pleasant party in the Pioneer building last week There was a good programme of music. songs and literary numbers.
