President C.. e. Embree.

The five San Francisco lodges of the
Order of the World held reunion and re-
ception last evening in Odd Fellows Hall.
The Richmond, Hamilton, Golden Star, Sill
yer StaE,and Andrews lodges were well rep

of the supreme president, G. E. Embree of
Indianapolis, Ind, who has been in this
City for the last three weeks looking after
the interests of the northern division,
which extends from Fresno to the Oregon
line. The affair to great extent was in
formal. Mr.. Embree when called upon for
few remarks expressed pleasure at the
interest he had found manifest in the new
order, which was not over two years old.
He explained the objects and principles
of the association. and dwelt at length
upon its rapid growth in this country. He
said that within two years the member
ship in the United States had run up to
$500.
There were now four lodges in Omaha
and the largest had a membership of 400.
In Minneapolis there were fourteen lodges,
five in st. Louis and five in Kansas City.
West of the Ohio line there were fifty-two
lodges. While fraternal fellowship was
the object of the order the same as in the
Order of Foresters, there was connected
with the order the Worlds Mutual Benev-
OlenG ASSOCldClOn, winch was an insurance
concern pure and simple and based upon
business principles. It's capital stock was
100000. Sick benefits were paid by the
order, but not by the association.
In speaking of the success met with the
supreme president stated that last month
600 policies were issued by the association.
Last week POP policies were issued.
Mr.. Embree stated that to-day he would
appoint the manager for the northern di-
vision, whose headquarters would be es-
tablished on Market street.
Mrs. Andrews of the southern district,
headquarters in Los Angeles, made a few
remarks. Others also spoke upon the
promising prospects of the order on this
coast, and by the time the meeting was
over all felt as well acquainted with the
supreme president as though they had
known him for year.

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

The knighting of Henry Irving has recalled
number of stories concerning the famous
actor One refers to meeting of certain
learned society in London some years ago,
when the topic discussed was Shakespeare. Mr.
Irving was present, but every one did not seem
to know 1t. man was on his feet deploring
the improvement of spelling which had re-
suited in notifications of pronunciation so
that were the Elizabethan poets to return to
earth they might not be able to read their own
works, and surely not to understand them as
others read them. "If Shakespeare were to rise
from the dead now" said the speaker, al make
bold to say he would hardly comprehend his
own words as they issue from the mouth of the
present opponents of them. He would be
shocked were he to hear Irving" From a
seat on the left hand of the chairman there
rose slim figure and from pair of thin lips
whose corners rollicked in mirth, there issued
in the clear tones of bell these three words,
cor see him.
The French President and his family gener-

Nine. Faure was late for dinner President
Faure grew anxious and paced the dining
room, repeatedly asking the officer in attend
ance where his wife could be. The cook
grumbled that the dinner would spoil, and all
the Elysee was upset. AT last the missing
lady appeared. my DEAR" she said to the
President,'1 am so sorry to be late, but the
omnibuses were so full that had to wait such
time for a seat" Nine. Faure had never
thought of taking the carriage when she went
out shopping.
The friends OF Catulle Mendes are striving to
get him into the French Academy regardless of
the fact that the moral standard which barred
lola cut is applicable to him. Mendes has as
handsome head as there is in Paris. He has
a fondness for the life his erotic pen portrays,
and he possesses the bohemian characteristics
of the free-and-easy French writer's of the last
generation. The early morning hours find
him the center of crowd of hilarious spirits
at some brasserie.

WELCOME INSTRUCTION.

The fruit-growers of Santa Clara County
have decided on a wise and ingenious plan
for giving their fruits wider use and
popularity in the East. This is to wrap
with each package a printed list of the
various ways in which the fruit may be
cooked and served, with full directions TO
that end. The meager telegraphic an
nouncement of the decision does not in
form Us whether this plan is to be followed
with reference to all kinds of fruit-fresh,
timed or dried-but it is evident that it
might be profitably applied to all.
1t seems strange that this excellent old
idea has never been put in use in this
State. Manufacturers of baking powders
are annually expanding fortunes in pub
fishing newspaper advertisements giving
valuable directions OF the various ways in
