Santa Rosa Session.
Amendments to the Constitution of
General Interest to the Odd
Fellows.

SANTA Rosa. Oct. 1S.-Very interesting
to Odd Fellows were the proceedings of
the third days session of the grand eu-
campment.
An amendment to the constitution was
made fixing the meeting of the grand body
in San Francisco, unless otherwise ordered
by majority vote, on the third Tuesday
In Octo Der.
Canton Santa Rosa Patriarchs Militant
having won the trophy three times sue
cessively were declared entitled to the
| ownership of the same. AS il is designed
to hold a competitive drill at Stockton
next year, the executive committee was
| authorized 10 expend not exceeding $500 to
procure suitable prize or trophy to be
competed for by the cantons under the
rules governing the former trophy.
Amendments TO the constitution of sub
ordinates were adopted, the effects of
| which are that patriarchs must be in
arrears until twelve months elapse before
they can be suspended for nOn- payment of
dues, and cannot be SUSPENDED because
they may owe an amount equivalent to
twelve months dues. In other words, it
is not the amount that causes suspension,
but the time.
The Godfrey appeal case, claiming two
months dues from Golden Gate Encamp-
ment No. /, eicited much discussion. The
report of the committee, sustaining the
appeal, was finally adopted and the grand
patriarch requested TO notify the encamp-
men. to Fay said claimant within ninety
days.

vacancy he must serve the majority of the
nights in such residue of term and be in
Office at the end of the term to be entitled
to the honors of the same.

stitution of the grand and subordinate
