An active com- ble gran mittee has charge of the matter and it expects to make this affair one of the most delightful that has ever been given by this enterprising lodge. The committee will be assisted by Noble Grand Louett Dietz. This lodge, which is in a prosperous condition, at its last meeting Initiated several candi- dates in a most creditable manner. Loyai Rebekah Lodge recently had =a very pleasant party and the feature was the offering of a prize for the best head dress and one for the most unique one. The first was award- ed to Thursey Barrett and the second to Pearl' Bowen. The affair was un- der the direction of Myrtle Carberry, V. G.; L. Perry, Miss Smith, Tillle Craig, P. N. G., and Messrs. Spencer and Taylor. The open meeting given by Jubilee Lodge last week was well attended and under the supervision of Gabrielle Gress, Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Quintero, H. K. Wolff and Dr. Arbo- gast there was presented a pleasing programme of music, songs and reci- tations, the most striking feature be- ing recitations, pathetic and comie, by Blanche Bouvier, one of the most elo- quent reciters who has ever appeared before a fraternal audience. The others who entertained were E. R. Moss, Dr. Arbogast, Lizzie Stanton and Harry K. Wolff. The serving of refreshments and dancing followed.

The pro- gramme was followed by the serving of icecream and then dancing for two hours. The performance by Dr. Cromp- ton was excellent, and was voted one of the features of the programme. The fancy dress ball given by the San Franeisco Rebekah Drill Corps, Captain Allie Parker, in the banquet hall of the Odd Fellows’ building was a very enjoyable affair and was at- tended by a large number of the mem- bers and their friends. There was a long programme of dances, and after the march of characters Amy Webb vas awarded a prize for being the best dressed lady. Thursey Barrett won a prize for wearing the costume and M.

The executive committee of the or- der, which had charge of the arrange- ments for the Sovereign Grand Lodge, clc up its affairs last week and ad- journed. The.committee and a num- ber of leading members of the order gave a box party at the Majestic on the last Friday in September,. after which all repaired to the St. Nicholas for a banquet. Golden Gate Lodge of this city reported in a very prosperous condi- tion, with its membership nearing the 200 mark. It is also reported prosper- ous fre a financial standpoint. A committee will soon be appointed to arrange for a banquet for the members of the lofige and their lady relatives and friends. is Fraternal Brotherhood. San Francisco Lodge of the Fra- ternal Brotherhood gave an en- tertainment and ball in its lodge room in the quarters of the Fraternal Order of Eagles on October 13. At the last held meeting of this lodge there were ten candidates for initiation and sev- enteen applications. All of the local lodges are making arrangements for social evenings dur- ing the current month. Aurora Lodge will have a ghost party in Scandia Hall next Wednesday. Columbia Lodge of the Fraternal Brotherhood had a pleasant evening in its hall after the routine of business, and an entertaining programme was presented. The feature of the evening was a plane trio by the Misses Brock- hoff, Koning and Kraker. Aurora Lodge gave a ‘“ghost party” in Scandia Hall last week, which was attended by many of the members and their friends. There was a well-bal- anced programme of dances arranged by Miss Lena C. Moore, organizer fou the lodge. RGP Independent Foresters. Dr. OronhyateKha, the supreme chief of the Independent Order of Foresters, having accomplished the objects of his visit to California, namely, the di- vision of the State into'two jurisdic- tivns, returned to his home in Toronto, Canada, last week. High Chief Ranger Stewart of the High Court of California, the title Wwhich goes with the original charter to the northern part of the State, 1Is preparing & circular to be sent to each of the courts in the jurisdiction. It will set forth his ideas for work dur- ing the current term. As the new high chief ranger is an energetic man, who feels a deep interest in fraternal- ism and the Independent Forest- ers in particular, the membership will undoubtedly receive a circular that will spur it on to activity. He is also preparing a list of deputy high chief rangers to be ready this week. The charter of the High cutt of California, books, papers docu- ments, as well as m tlv- ‘been shipped from Los Angeles to this city, and will be placed in the new office here, which for the time being Wwill be in the Call Annex. As soon as every- thing moves easily under the new or- der of things an active campaign will be opened throughout the State and a boom will be started in San Franeisco. The high standing. committee will meet in this city this week and lay out work for the order and attend to details for the proper carrying out of business under the new regime. Miss Pauline Stewart, daughter of High Chief Ranger G. Q. Stewart, a member of Companion Court Golden Gate, is one of the most conscientious women to be found in the order. She has since her induction into the Inde- pendent Order of Foresters manifested an interest in the affairs of the organi- ion that has seldom been equaled by one not placed in a commanding position in the order. She has made herself familiar with all the details of the organization, of the parent branch as well as the ladies’ branch, and in the eighteen months she has acted as assistant to her father in the office of the deputy supreme high chief ranger as clerk she has developed a love and interest for Forestry that is unusual in one of the gentler sex. It is probable, in view of her knowledge of Forestry and wonderful capacity for clerical work, that she will be, chosen to act as clerk for High Secretary O. K. Brown. The latest reports show the surplus of the Independent Order of Foresters has reached the enormous sum of $8,- 013,849, R A Fraternal Eagles. All dedegates from San Francisco to the Grand Aerie of the Fraternal Or- der of Eagles have returned, and re- port that there was not much done at the session in the way of legislation, as there was no occasion for such. The next session of the Grand Aerie will be held in Denver, Col. The reports presénted during the session show that the order now numbers 145,615, a net gain of 6976 having been made during the past year. The amount of money on hand was, at the close of the ses- sion, in excess of $80,000, which will permit the reduction of the per capita tax to 20 cents. Henry Lyons has presented to San Francisco Aerie a large stuffed eagle, with which to decorate the meeting place. At the last held meeting of this subordinate there was a class of forty-five to initiate. It is expected that by the first meeting in November this aerfe will have a membership of 2000. PRI L The Eastern Star. One of the most attractive personages at the reception given to the grand of- ficers of and representatives to the Grand Chapter in the Palace on the first night of the recent session was Mrs. May Helen, wife of Past Worthy Patron George Willlam Henry Patter- son, of Ivy Chapter. This lady, who had been grand Esther, is pleasantly remembered In the order as worthy matron of Ivy Chapter, who during the time she presided gave the chapter a most brilliant year. It was a year noted for excellent ritualistic work by a set of officers who, having been selected from the brightest members, were trained to perfection. During that year the chapter was known as one of the most prosperous and dignified in the Jjurisdiction. The charming individual- ity of Mrs. Patterson and her natural, pleasing and easy manner made itself manifest at all of the soclal functions given during her incumbency and en- deared her to all who had the pleasure of meeting her. The social and finan- clal standing of the chapter during her term marks a bright page in the his- tory of that well-known subordinate. On the evening of Novmeber 9 Mis- sfon Chapter will flvo its eighth an- a5l carsat Native Dlu:hhfl. MRS STALY | Moaxll EVNR-\-OE, W — ACTIVE WORKERS IN FRA- TERNAL CIRCLES OF SAN FRANCISCO. 55 -+ ‘West, which had been under considera- tion for a number of months, has been effected. After organization it was in- corporated and the following temporary officers were chasen: Leah Magner ‘Williams, past president of Sans. Souci Parlor, president; Anna F. Lacy of Las Lomas Parlor, grand trustee, vice pres- ident; Minnie F. Dobbin of Sans Souci Parlor, secretary; Emma Gruber Foley, Orinda Parlor, grand treasurer, treas- yrer; Genevieve W. Baker of Buena Vista Parlor, past grand president; Jennie M. Greene of Buena Vista Par-, lor, Julia A. Steinbach of Alta Parlor, Mary Mooney of Sans Souci Parlor and Siddie P. Daggett of Las Lomas Parlor, directors. Of the present board of grand officers of the order the following hold membership in the new organiza- tion: Grand President Ella E. Camin- etti of Ursula Parlor, Grand Secretary Laura J. Frakes of Amapola Parlor, Grand Treasurer Emma Gruber Foley or Orinda Parlor and Grand Trustee Anna F. Lacy of Las Lomas Parler’ Prominent past grand officers are Gene- vieve Watson Baker of Buena Vista Parlor, past grand president, and Kathryne McGough of Darina Parlor, past grand trustee. At the meeting when the officers were elected there were thirty-five past presidents pres- ent. It is possible that in the near fu- ture a beneficiary feature may be at- tached to the association. A committee on ritual and by-laws was appointed, and it was decided to hold meetings in Colton Hall, Pioneer building, on the second Friday of each month. Sans Souci Parlor will give an enter- tainment and dance in Golden Gate Hall on the evening of October 31. The entertainment will be by professional talent. Las Tarrosas Parlor had a very pleas- ant entertainment and dance in the Red Men’s building last week. There was a good programme of vaudeville num- bers, together with a well-aranged one of dances, and many people to enjoy both. The grand president will vistt Darina Parior November 14, Calaveras on the 16th and Buena Vista on the 17th. * The new banners intended for the use ‘of the subordinate parlors have been completed and are now ready for distribution. The death of Mrs. Tina L. Kane at Ventura last week is the first in the line of those who have been grand officers of the N. D. G. &. She was the first grand president, hayving been elegted to that position from Ursula Parlor in 1887, and was always honored in the or- der for her loyalty and integrity and admired by all for her educational qualities and kindly disposition. Stacy A. Slipner, a past officer of Imogene Parlor of Loyalton, has taken an active part in the affairs of ghe order, both in her parlor and in the Grand Parlor. She has proved herself, as one of her admirers has expressed it, “a Native Daughter who has won the esteem of all and is always ready to stand for the best interests and ad- vancement of the order.” R i Improved Red Men. Manitou Tribe of the Improved Order of Red Men will have an “at home” for its members and lady friends in Bald Eagle Red Men’s building, Octo- ber 31 Calumet Council of the Degree of Po- Ha — Native Sons’ Hall. The hall was com- fortably crowded by people fond of dancing, and there was plenty of that, for the programme was made up of twelve regular numbers and four ex- tras., The affair was admirably carried on undery the direction of J. I Petrie, J. J. Murphy and G. Johnson of the committee of arrangements, the first two named being, respectively, floor manager and assistant floor manager. They were assisted by the reception committee—Dr. Charles Marcellus Troppmann, H. C. Liss, J. D. Ralph,H. J. Willias, Daniel Teare and J. Gal- lagher. Matoaka Council had a very pleasant “at home” in the Red Men's building Octéber 15. The tribe recently organized by George ‘Wheeler was instituted by Great Sachem Davis, assisted by Great Chief of Rec- ords Bltss and many acting great chiefs, in the encampment hall of the Odd Fel- lows’ building. Ninety petitioners for a charter were admitted on the night of institution, and others who signed wiil be adopted at a future council. George ‘Wheeler, the organizer, was chosen sachem and John Bell chief of records. Great Representative John J. Bryan, a member of Manzanita Tribe of the parent order and of Manzanita Council of the Degree of Pocahontas, is one of the few men whose love for the two branches of the order and ambition to see each advance has won him a host of friends. He is specially noted for the logical and forcible manner in which he presents matters for the good of the organization to either branch. At the recent session of the Great Council of the United States, to which he was a representative for the first time, he gave the people on the other side of the Rockies evidence that he is a worker and that at the next session of that body hé will make a mark that will be creditable to the order and to the reser- vation of California. Mohican Council No. 42, Degree of Pocahontas, was forced by its rapid increase in membership to seek larger quarters. It *has located its tepee in the Odd Fellows’ building and has de- cided on the third Thursday in each month as the regelar adoption night. The last Thursday night of the month will be devoted fo social entertalnment, when all Red Men and their friends will be welcome to the Mohican tepee. Much of the success this council is now enjoying is due to the energetic and untiring work of the Pocahontas, Mrs. Lorena O'Neil, and her example has inspired the other chiefs to remewed efforts for the advancement of the or- ganization. Miss Mae B. Griffith, the very populu( apnd painstaking deputy, has had her merit recognized by the Great Council, being reappointed as deputy -for the third term of twelve moons. She was the organizer of the council and first and only deputy up to date. The masquerade ball given in Native Sons’ Hall on the fourth Friday in Oc- tober by Walla Walla Tribe and Kah- ‘weah Council was an enjoyable affair. It ‘was well managed and there were many pretty and not a few grotesque costumes in line when the grand march was started. During the last week l(r-. Annie M. ‘Bliss, great Pocahontas, visited Aleta Council at Crockett, Minnehaha and Ioka councils at Vallejo and Minne- tonkah Council at Napa. On her visits to Vallejo the great Pocahontas was accompanied by Great Minnehaha Ida Wheeler and at Napa by the great guard of the tepee, May Whittehorne. e Woodmen of the World. State Organizer Peter F. Gilroy will shortly visit all the camps in Sonoma Valley and then pay, visits to the camps in Southern California. mmnuahnumum mc-n.h ioneer ulaine, Getober 1. teriained [ODGE, ROOM™ mC Y ] was attended by a large number of people, who had a most enjoyable time.

Allegro’s sextet, L. I. Fross, F. Pal- mer, C.-W. Withycombe, H. Hoppe, Miss A. Hucks and Miss E. Hoppe, vocal selections, and Past Consul Com- mander McCabe with . an interesting address on the work of the order. After “the programme candy was dis- tributed to all the children and refresh- ments served to adults, after which there was dancing for two hours. On October 18 the local circles of Wooderaft and many of the members of thc camps of the Woodmen of the ‘World attended the grand campaign ball, given in Native Sons’ Hall, which was conducted under the supervision of a committee of five from each 'circle, assisted by each guardian neighbor. Of this committee Mrs. A. F. McMahon was the chairman and General Organ- izer Bertha M. Summer vice chalrman. More than 500 persons were present and a great deal of spirit and enthusiasm was manifested during the evening. It was a dressy affair and was in every sense of the word a great success. A. C. Nathan, an enthusiastic Woodman, was the floor manager and the general organizer was his assistant. The hall of California Camp, W. O. W., was crowded on October 24 by nembers of the order assembled to wit- ness the dedication of a beautiful new stump for the camp. Laurance Vincent delivered a touching parting ovation over the old stump, he being surround- ed at the time by the officers of the camp, attired in blue jeans and stand- ing on the chip-strewn floor. The ora- tion was so touching that it brought tears to the éyes of many of the chop- pers. Then the new stump was dedi- cated with a great deal of ceremony by State Organizer P. F. Gilroy, who is popularly known in the order as “Our Gil,” after which there was the pre- sentation by Neighbor Hansen of an onyx paper-weight to David Oliver Jr., editor of the Pacific ocodman; a charm to Bert Craw and a souvenir to Special Organizer Krumm, each pres- ent bearing the emblems of the order and being the handiwork of the donor. After the presentations there ware short talks by Judge Frank H. Kerri- gan, Joseph A. Wilson Dave Mayers, Neighbor Apple and many others, fol- lowed by the serving of a lunch and refreshments. The uniform rank of Golden Gate Camp No. 64 will give a grand ball in Mission Opera Hall. It is expected that this will be one of the most attractive affairs evr given by a team of the rank. Last week Redwood Circle of the ‘Women of Woodcraft had a short busi- ness session, during which two strangérs were admitted to member- ship by initiation and fourteen applica- tions were presented and accepted. This was followed by an open meeting, which was changed into a Halloween party. The hall was artistically deco- rated with pumpkin lanterns, pumpkin vines, spider webs and apples tied to strings pendent from the webs. There “was o very large attendance and there were a number of pleasing songs, reci- tations and short talks appropriate to the occasion. Then there was fortune telling, games and dancing. The affair was admirably managed by the com- mittee, composed of Neighbors Wilder, Hoffman, Hatfleld, Moore, Smith, Balckall, McMahon, Lena and Rose Barclay and Fisher. Last week the officers of Redwood Circle assisted Deputy Mrs. Steanart to install the officers of the new circle at San Lorenzo, and the work was most impressively done. After the in- stallation the visiting neighbors were guests at an excellent banquet, at which Mrs. Shiman presided. g —— Ancient Order Foresters! The members of the various courts of the Ancient Order of Foresters in the San Joaquin Valley had a picnic at Stockton last week, at which there was a very large attendance. In ad- ditfon to the games, dancing and en- tertainment, there was an oration by High Chief Ranger Sanford, with re- marks by the secretary of the execu- tive board and the permanent secre- tary. The exeeutive board has offered a magnificent American flag to any court of the jurisdiction that shall, on or be- fore the 1st of next January, make an increase of 10 per cent of its present membership.

Juvenile Court Star of the West at its last meeting initiated six ecandl- dat Washington Circle of the Companions of the Forest was visited by the board of supreme officers and many of the board deputies. For the benefit of the visitors' the officers exemplified the work by the initiation of two strangers, and for this there was much praise.

Mrs. Berger was presented with A beautiful cardcase as a souvenir of the occasion, and the other supreme officers each presented with a token of fraternal love.

During the evening the guest was presented with a set of diamond mounted cuff buttons and there were addresses by the recipient, Grand Arch Druidess Heiden, Grand Secretary Thornhill and many others, after which there was a programme of entertainment and the serving of refreshments. The official visit to Manzanita Grove recently was marked by the presence of the noble grand arch, grand decre- tary, Grand Trustee Gallagher and Al- ternate Representatives George W. Sichel, D. D. S, and D. Bammann. Eleven candidates were Initiated, and all the grand officers had something to say for the good of the order. The noble grand arch, accompanied by Deputy Grand Arch Antonovich and the other officers who were with him at Manzanita Grove, visited Oakland Grove and there was a pleasant meet- ing. Each past noble grand arch has been presented by the Grand Grove with a beautiful collar of his rank in the order, bearing the figures of the year in which he served. The official visit of the noble grand arch to Yosemite Grove was a very pleasant one. The hall was crowded and it was decorated with many Ameri- can flags. After an exemplification of the work Dr. G. W. Sichel, the record- ing secretary, was highly commended by Past Arch Kent, on behalf of the grove, for the devotion he has shown to the order and the grove, and he was then presented with a valuable em- blematic gold charm.
