THE ODD FELLOWS.

Action OF the Sovereixn Grand Lodge
Daughters of Reb~k.h Get n Set Back
The Late Grand Sire Overruled.
TOPEKA. Kan. Sept s0-The first
annual convention of the Order of Re-
bekah will be its last
When the sovereign grand lodge OF
Odd Fellows met yesterday the petition
OF the Rebekahs for continuance was
given special hearing and by a prae-
tically unanimous vote substitute was
agreed upon which will do away with
national conventions
Mrs Rea, the president said of this
action: MY only hope is that the repre-
sentatives who voted against us will not
be elected to attend another grand
lodge meeting"
The amendment to the constitution
in regard to the eligibility of saloon
keepers was voted down by an over
whelming majority. This came up on
the case appealed from the Missouri
grand lodge which took action refusing
saloon keepers admission on the ground
that their business was not moral
The judiciary committee submitted
its reports on the cases of Grand Master
Barnum, OF Illinois, and Captain Gen
eral Ellis, of the Patriarchs Militant.
In the Barnum case the committee over
ruled the grand sire and in the Ellis
case confirmed his ruling. The grand
lodge Will act on both reports to-day.
The degree of chivalrY was conferred
on Ars Rea by the sovereign grand
lodge and the Daughters of Rebekah
gave her handsome diamond ornament
EN- bIematic of the order. But the Jewel
and the honor does not compensate for
the chagrin she feels at the action OF
the grand lodge.
The finding in the Barnum case was a
great victory for the Illinois grand mas
ter. He was perempborily deposed from
Office by Grand Sire Underwood for re-
monstrating with the latter in regard to
one OF his decisions Barnum had re-
voked the charter of a Chicago lodge
because it had refused to comply with
one OF his orders The lodge appealed
to the grand sire and the charter was
restored. Then the grand sire removed
Barnum from Office. The judiciary COM
mittee held that grand master was SUI
preme in his jurisdiction and that all
complaints must pass through his hands
to the grand lodge.
Captain-General Ellis, of the Patriarch
Militant, by virtue of the decision, is
suspended from Office. October last
he issued an order declaring himself
Acknowledgement and generalissimo OF
the Patriarchs Militant by virtue of a
decision of the grand lodge limiting the
office of lieutenant-general to three
years and providing for a successor.
Grand Sire Underwood revoked the
order and suspended Ellis
nf no -
proposed to the constitution were voted
down. 1t is not likely that any changes
whatever will be made.
