ODD-FELLOwS' DECORATION DAY.
A Ceremony That Is Somewhat New, but Yet
Finds Many Lodges to Observe 1t.

Yesterday was decoration day among the
Odd fellows, the Indiana Grand Lodge
having set apart the second Friday
in June as a day upon which the lodges are
to hold suitable memorial services for the
dead of the order, and for which q special
ritual has been adopted. The ceremony is
believed to rave been generally observed
this year, especially in the smaller towns
and cities, though, the services being held
upon a week day, fewer take part In them
than would be the case were the ceiebra-
ton to occur on Sunday. The day will
probably be changed at no distant period.
The lodges of Indianapolis DO not make
any effort whatever to observe the day.
Most of the members are workirgmen
sides, there is no place set apart as an Odd
fellows burial-place, II the graves are SO
scattered that it would be a matter OF no
little difficulty TO find and decorate them.
In many places il is customary for the
lodges to turn out with the Grand Army of
the Republic and decorate the graves of the
Nations dead and the graves of their dead
members on the 30th of May.
Odd-fellOws' Decoration day was lnaug-
urated in the Dominion of Canada about
five years ago, and, at the May session OF
1886, was adopted by the Grand Lodge of
Indiana, this being the first State. of the
terry was dedicated yesterday at knights

rating of the Odd-fellows' graves was
postponed until tomorrow. Rev. Il.
ter, grand secretary, L.O. q. f., will deliver
an address on the occasion.

steady stream into the fund have by no
means ceased. the amounts are not as large
as they were. Aside from the Board of
Trade and the orders, there have been many
private contributions sent direct to the

of these gifts the Board of Trade commit
