The housekeepers of England and
France would not have a wooden
bed in the house-YOU KNOW
WHY. They use the White Enam-
eled and Brass Bedsteads exclusive

OF the water are not slow to grasp
the fact that they are far cleaner and
handsomer than the old-fashioned
wooden beds. What is "sweller"
than nice white enameled bed,
brass trimmed, with a curly birch
bureau and wash stand or white

The Veteran Odd Fellows Association viii
hold its annual meeting this evening In Odd
Fellows Hall, and will banquet tomorrow
evening ct the Hotel Pleasanton.
According to a statement published by
Grand Secretary Shaw, the subordinate lodges
OF California, up to May 1, have contributed
So, O92 90 to the Odd Fellows Home fund
and the Rebekah lodges $1194 so, making g
grand total of Sl3, 1856 49, There are still
quite number of lodges to hear from.
The forty-third annual convocation of the
Grand Lodge of California will convene in Odd
Fellows Hall on Tuesday, May IA, at O'Clock
A. NJ. There is considerable important work
to be done at the coming session, prominent
among which is legislation relating to the
Odd Fellows Home. II is also probable that a
resolution will be introduced TO elect grand
officers by the votes OF the past grands, taken
in the subordinate lodges. the vote to be can
vsssed and the result announced at the next
meeting OF the Grand Lodge thereafter. 1t is
claimed by the advocates Of this measure that
it will obviate all opportunity OF packing the
Grand Lodge on election day in the interest OF
any particular candidate or candidates. This
plan has been tried in other Jurisdictions, and
is said to be an improvement on the present
method of election.
The week will be one of continued interest to
delegates and other members OF the order who
may be in San Francisco during the session
Grand Master Simpson has sent out the follow
ing programme of eXemplifcations OF the
work of the order: Wednesday evening, mi
tiatory and first degree of the subordinate
lodge; Thursday, Rebekah installation work
and Rebeksh degree work; Friday, second and
third degrees OF the subordinate lodge. There
will also be schools of instruction on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, between the hours
OF and 10 A. NJ.
]. L. Robinette and C. NJ. Harrison, two vet
eran Odd Fellows OF Sacramento, have begun
the publication of the California Odd Fellow,
which they explain is to be ga journal devoted
to the advancement OF the principles of Odd
Fellowship" 1t is handsomely printed three
column, eight-page paper, 1211zx14 inches, and
is issued semi-monthly. Its matter is as well
written as 1t is well selected 1t is overlooking
with just the class of reading matter and facts
that are most likely to interest the uninitiated
as we'll as members. If there is any sense of
appreciation among the men whom 1t seeks to
interest and instruct, i will certainly prove a
success.
An eneampment of patriarehs was instituted
at Auburn Saturday evening, May II. The new

ments of Sacramento. The encampment Will

The last encampment provided for the compiling
OF record of all Union veterans deceased within
the limits OF the department, regardless OF the
date of death or of membership in the Grand Army
of the Republic. Many rest in places remote from
lines of common travel or in almost forgotten

sacred spots 10 be marked by marble tablets, where
practicable and the names and military or naval
services Of all dying in California or Nevada since
the historic days OF 1861 to be entered and pre-
Z served in the records Of the department., that
prompted the unanimous action of the encamp-
