Grand Body decided only this once to CRAFTY
the citizens Of Jacksonville BY turning out.

| Brother ]. Ward Ellis, for many years the
| efficient Chairman Of the COMMITTEES on the
State Of the Order, as usual, leads off the pro
| ceedings proper with twelve reports It is this
! promptness and jealous attention to the work
| and duties OF q Chairman of 8 committee that
facilitates and produces gpo1 legislation, and
| such All example should be >e1nuIated BY those
! who accept such positions. This is practically
| for tic good OF the Order"
! It Is to be regretted that, on technicality,
! the question OF the establishing OF q Commit
| tee on Foreign Relief was deferred. This is to
| be lamentcd, Us there exists in oil cities like
Chicago, and in fact in any city where there arc
a number Of lodges necessity for some proper
system for the relief OF brothers from abroad,
since the absoncc OF such an arrangement throws
the weight and burden upon the lodges that
are located in the central parts OF the city.
Tho judiciary Committee, through the Hon.
A. Orendorf, presented some very able reports,
which were, with one or two exceptions, adopt

him dn1y elected. and admitted him to repeated
Der Of the Lodge, and the Lodge Is now estopped
from dcnying it: The question having been regu-

The decision iii this case Will be Of interest to
several in Chicago rs two cases Of this kind have
occurred in this city.
As the time is rapidly, approaching when new
ate Lodges throughout the State, it would be
we'll for a5pirants to examine the report OF the

1t Is gratifying that the Grand Lodge have
acted as they have done in regard to instructing

changing the name Of the Grand Lodge Of the
United States, SO that the Universally Of the
Order may be more apparent in the name of its
