Court Paulus Hook believes in actions
rather than words. While the others
were discussing the building project they
moved. At the meeting on Wednesday
night Past Chief Ranger ThomasiJ. De
Hancey made stirring speech, IN which
he called on the court to maintain its
reputation for go-ahead-itiyeness and
git-thar, and the result was that SlO9 was
voted TO be used in the purchase OF stock
for the proposed Foresters' Hall. Thus
Paulus Hook has taken the lead and set
the example. If the other courts will
do likewise the only problems to be
solved will be whether the building shall
occupy four lots or an entire block and
whether 1t will be constructed OF granite,
brown stone, marble or iron. Paulus
Hook has set the ball rolling in earnest,

The members of Court Paulus Hook
are justly proud of their officers. In the

popular young man, who can claim,
among other good points, a well balanced
mind, good temper and an agreeable per-

who, to use a theatrical expression, is
"genteel man Of the old school," and is
all that term implies. He has by his gra-
cious manners become a credit to
the court and q favorite with
the members. Long may he live.

happening is obviated by Court Paulus
Hook having in Brother Walter Snyder
Financial who, like Johnny Thomp-
son, is always ION hand. Brother
Snyder is without doubt one of the most
palnstaking finRncialS in the State; is
lnethodical and attentive in keeping the
courts books. This, added to his pleasing
manners and willingness to oblige every
one, causes him to be highly appreciated
by the members of Court Paulus Hook.
In this era OF rapid transit to Canada and
Boodleism 1t is quite refreshing to know
that you are personally acquainted with
an honest man. Such indeed is the
pleasure afforded every member Of Paulus
Hook, and to use sporting term, man
and money can be found any meeting
night in the person of Brother lvie Gregg,
treasurer OF the court, O gentleman OF
sound business methods and integrity,
whom the members place implicit con-
fidence in.
The regular meeting of Court Paulus
Hook was held last Wednesday in Hum
holdt Han and was largely attended.
Chief Ranger Frank McConnin opened
the court promptly on time. The most
important committee report received was
that of the Entertainment Committee on
the forthcoming bali, which takes place
on Monday, November II, in Woods Hall
According TO their report the arrange
ments made cover every thing that goes
TO make ball enjoyable for all who par
ticipate. Their report can be relied upon,
and anything promised by them will
surely materialize. They are hustlers
from way back.
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
Jersey City Lodge No. "a resumed work
last Tuesday evening by the initiation of
two candidates, and receiving the propo-
sitions of three candidates more. The
work was admirably performed by the
new team. and they were highly compli-
mented by visiting brethren upon the
smoothness, perfectness and solemnity of
the ceremony. One venerable brother
said that he had heard so much about the
superior initiation Of Jersey City Lodge
that he conceived an uncomfortable de-
sire to visit 1t and see how the work was
done in the initiatory degree. He was now

he had ever witnessed in his experience
as an Odd Fellow of forty-four years.
standing. On Tuesday next the first de-
gree will be conferred on the candidates
Initiated, and also on six members of
Maple Lodge No. 222, on which occasion
Maple Lodge will pay Jersey City Lodge
eral and the officers in particular would
be well repaid by a visit to this lodge.
The work is all done in the "beautified
FORM" and together with the talent a
very pleasant and instructive evening
may be spent.
Garfield Lodge worked the first and
second degrees on three candidates last
Wednesday night. The work was done
without hitch, and the ritual WAS invisi-
BILE. The ceremony made deep and
lasting impression on the candidates.
The third degree will be conferred next
Wednesday night. Four propositions
were received, which shows that Garfield
is steadily gaining ground.
The degree team OF Garfield has got the
work down to such nicely that there is
talk OF procuring more elaborate cos
TUNES.
The brothers of sister lodges are doing
noble work in assisting the toddliug
infant to walk upright and steady. Maple
Lodge is referred TO. The meeting on
Wednesday night found a score of visit
ing brethren on hand, and they rendered
splendid service in the initiatory degree,
as the new lodge had four candi-
dates. 1t is composed of the right
kind of stuff, and the lodge will likely
distance some of the older lodges. They
will have six candidates to initiate at the
next meeting, and will go in body TO
Jersey City Lodge meeting and have its
degree team work the degree in the
amplified form.
The members of Lincoln Lodge have
