TFOubIe About the Meeting of tle
GrAnd B0dge of the United
states,

1t is thought that in consequence of
the prevalence Of yellow fever at Austin,
Texas, the meeting Of the Grand lodge
of the United States of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, which was to have
been held there shortly, will have to be
convened elsewhere. By the rules OF the
order the Grand Lodge decides upon the
locality at which the meeting shall be
held, and hence Mr.. John w. Stokes,
tie grand sire, is in quandary regard
ing the matter. Mr.. Stokes, unwilling
to shoulder the responsibility of chang
ing the locality, has put himself to com
munication with the Grand Lodges OF
the various States, requesting them to
express an opinion upon the desirability
Of changing the place of meeting from
Austin to Baltimore. Letters aud tele-
grams approving Of the idea are pouring
in and if unanimous feeling on the
subject is fund to prevail, the grand
sire will issue the necessary orders, leav'
ing the Grand Lodge Of the United
States to approve or condemn his course,
