Woodmen Of the World.

The past week has been a memorable one for
woodcraftiI San Francisco. The head consul
of the Pacific jurisdiction, F. A. Falkeuburg of
Denver, Colo, who is making q tour of vista
lions among the camps of this coast, was in
the City. On Wednesday evening a reception
was given him by Golden Gate Camp at the
Alcazar. Social Hall was packed. The lecture
of Mr.. Falkenburg descriptive OF woodcraft and
fraternal insurance was most effective and at
its close about seventy new membera were
added to Golden Gate Camp.
On Thursday the head consul visited Red
wood Camp where he was again receiy ed by a
large audience. At the conclusion of his adj
dress thirty additional Woodmen were admit
ted to Redwood Camp.
on Friday night White Rose Grove of the
Woodmen's Circle-the ladies' branch of the
order-gave reception to Mrs. Falkenburg,
who is its official head, and to the head consul.
This week Mr.. Falkenburg will be with the
camps of Oakland and vicinity, and no doubt
he will meet with as much success there as has
attended his visits here.

According to the report of the board of con-
troll of endowment rank which has its office

during the year ending March 81, 1895, as

The total mem ership of this branch OF the
order on March 81, 1895, was 81 ,574.
The following circular issued by the board OF
control is self-explanatory:
1t having come to the knowledge of the board OF
control of the endowment rank that the impression
has gone abroad that, by of the recent sus-
pension Of the City National Bank, Fort Worth,
Tex, the reserve fund of the insurance branch OF
the order had been endangered they desire to state
that only that portion OF the funds of the rank re-
qured for convenient deposit from which to meet
the current expenditures of the rank was involved
in the suspension OF the bank and that only TO the
extent of temporary delay in payment This sum
is not only fully secured by the assets Of the bank
which are ample. but by thoroughly responsible
personal security for almost double the amount.

In accord with the spirit of advancement
which pervades the people of newer and larger
California, g mass-meeting OF delegates from
the various lodges Of this City, Oakland and
Alameda, pursuant TO a call issued by st. John
Lodge, was held Monday evening at 80 0Far-
rell street. OF the twenty-seven lodges in this
City, fifteen were represented and three from
Oakland and Alameda. The delegates present,
numbering some fifty or more, were enthusiasts
tic on the proposition to improve and enlarge
the field OF action in which this grand old or
der has so ably labored for quarter OF a GEN.
fury. Many suggestions were advanced for the
good and welfare of the members at large, and
finally the various ideas were crystallzed into
the following motion:
That it be the sense of this conference that a
grand reunion of the lodges of this City and of sur
rounding cities be held on date and at place to
be hereafter designated by this committee.
In accord with these sentiments the Past
Masters Association decided at its meeting on
Monday evening to accept the invitation ex-
tended on behalf of the committee to appoint q
committee of five delegates to meet with and
join in the work OF bringing the reunion to a
successful issue. Grand Master d. J. Toohy ap-
pointed his committee from the Grand Lodge

Two weeks ago Charles Z. Shook, P. NJ. w. of
Pacific Lodge No. of Oakland, suggested the
idea OF organizing q club for the purpose of in
ereasing the membership of the order in Ala
media County: He proposed to call it the Gone
Thousand Membership Club of Alameda
County," and the only qualifications required
for membership were to be q member of some
lodge in Alameda County and to introduce at
least one new member into the order between
April 1, 1895, and April 1, 1896. The club
was organized the following week with three
members, and officers were elected follows:
DR.. ]. L. Morgan. president; N. MeCuen, vice
president; c. E. Shook, secretary. At the
meeting held last Thursday evening three new
members were elected TO the roll. 1t is pro-
posed to hold meetings, visit lodges and in diff
ferent ways seek to increase the membership of
the order, and at the end OF the year have q big
banquet at which none but members of the
club win be admitted.
1t is suggested, says the Pacific States Watch
man, that q great union picnic be held in
August on the anniversarysof the establish
ment of the order in California, at some central
point easy of aceess-say ct San Jose-in which
Santa Cruz, San Francisco and Alameda coun-
ties could unite. The railways have signifed
their willingness to afford extraordinary facili-
ties at very low rates.

CRICKET AT ALAMEDA.
The Pacifics No Match for the Local
Team.

The Pacifcs No Match for the Local
Team.
At the Webster-street grounds, in Ala
media, the Alameda and the Pacific cricket
clubs met in their cup match yesterday
afternoon.
Losing the toss, the Paeifcs went to bat,
but could do nothing with the Alameda
bowling and were all disposed of for a
modest 67, Hill and Harbour, who each
scored 20, being the only ones to show any
form.
Moriarty and Randall opened the Ala
medas' inning and began well, scoring 40
before they were separated. Hood con-
tinued the scoring, making victory as
sured, with only one wicket down.
The interest in the match being now
practically over, the Pacifcs seemed to
lose all heart and allowed the Alamedas to
pile up 165 runs-Hogue, who was very
lucky, scoring 40 and Sloman 10. The
Alamedas thus won by SO runs, with four
Wickets in hand.
The attendance at the grounds was very
large, including quite number of ladies,
to whom the game would certainly have
been more interesting if a lot of noisy
urchins had not made sport of harmless
lunatic.
Following are the scores:

American Legion of Honor,

The session of the Grand Council, American

satisfactory held for many years. The spirit
manifested was one of confidence in the adj

The Burmeister Children Were Proba-
bly, Burned to Death.
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Nov. Or.
Wheeler of this city has returned from
Willow City, where he was called to
make an examination of the bodies Of
the dead BUrmeister children, supposed
to have been murdered, and the house
burned to conceal the crime. DR..
Sevaaston Of Devils Lake made the first
examination, and gave, it as his
opinion that the Oldest girl had been
assaulted, and all Of the children
afterwards killed by blows on the skull
from some dull instrument. After a
careful examination DR.. Wheeler has
arrived at the conclusion that the chill
dren were simply burned to death.
There We're no marks of violence ON
their persons beyond a mark on the lit
tie girls skull, and that is thought to
be due to a falling timber while the
house was burning. No clue has ever
been found of any supposed murderer
since the murder theory was first add
vanced. 1t is now thought the fire was
an accident.
