KINDLY REMEMBERED.

to Thos. Cupit, A. o. U. W., 1885," N.
NJ. Ruick of Idaho was selected by Grand
Master Workman Smith to make the
presentation speech and acquitted himself
admirably. Mr.. Cupit's response was
that ola surprised and delighted man.
AS a mark of personal esteem DR.. j.
II. Owings of Montana presented Master
Workman Smith with a very nice cane.
THE SPREAD.
The banquet rendered the visitors by
Cheyenne Lodge No. 3 at Keefe hall last
evening was a brilliant affair. The hall
was handsomely decorated and the tables
beautifully o~rnamented, Covers were laid
for 227 persons and the fare, prepared by
Caterer Held, and served under the direc-
ton OF Maurice Bernard of the club, was
unexcelled.
ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
After a large quantity of food had dis
appeared DR.. H. j. Maynard, who acted
as master of ceremonies, introduced At
torney General Councilman, who had been
selected to extend friendly greeting to the
visitors.
Mr.. Donzelman, in delivering the ad-
dress of welcome, thought that the matter
should have been attended to some three
days ago, but took great pleasure in well
coming the delegates even at this late
hour. The Cheyenne lodge was thankful
to the grand lodge for the many favors
bestowed upon the order of this city. To
the delegates, for their presence, thanks
were returned.
On account of the ~lateness of the hour
Gen. Donzelman refrained from deliver
ing a lengthy address, but paid a glowing
tribute to the order in general and the
grand lodge of Nevada in particular. He
was certain that the members OF the local
order would never forget their obligations
to their lodges and duty toward their fell
low members. Finally the speaker ex-
tended a warm welcome to the visitors on
behalf OF the Laramie county district and
wished them God speed and much Joy on
the journey Of to-day.
THE REPLY.
After the rendition of a selection by the
orchestra j. @. Harlow Of Carson City,
New. responded to the address of well
come in a very neat speech. He thought
that when one had nothing to say one
should say nothing. He would, by re-
quest, depart from the provisions of this
maxim. The A. o. U. w. had
gained such prominence within the
past thirty years hat a history OF the or:
der would scarcely be timely. The hopes
of its founder, John j. Upchurch, had
been realized and the society had glad
ened the sorrowful homes Of thousands of
widows and orphans, relieving their wants
in the hour of distress. Fraternity was
one of their watchwords and this manly
trait had made the successful accomplish
ment of their missions possible. Compile
mentary references to the Magic City and
Cheyenne lodge, No. 8, were greeted with
hearty applause.
On behalf of the grand lodge profuse
thanks were returned for the hospitality
of the Cheyenne brethren.
