ODD FELLOWSHIP.

We should think that a report such as
that made by a grand master to the Grand
Lodge OF Odd Fellows would be OF wide
public interest. Especially interesting
and informing, 1t seems to us, is the
document presented to the Grand Lodge
in annual session in this city yesterday.
In many respects II Is a model as setting
forth the state of the order for the in
formation OF the membership and the
public at large as well.
Odd Fellowship is, We believe, strong
in Rhode Island. II Is certainly dis
tinguished. In It's ranks are many men
whom we regard with esteem and whom
we entrust with high positions OF public
service and honor. Many OF our more
distinguished citizens are and have been
Odd Fellows. The order commends itself
to worthy men by reason of its excellent
objects, and the unimpcachable business
methods which characterize its manage
ment II has for years held prominence
as one OF the oldest and most honored OF
secret orders in the United States and its
plan has furnished models for the con-
duct OF newer organizations.
We take II that the recruiting Of Odd
Fellows may have suffered somewha, from
the multiplicity OF secret societies that
has been one OF the characteristics Of
our community life during the past ten or
fifteen years. Many such have been
organized only to suffer misfortune and
to finally collapse either though inherent

GENERAL MARITIME CAMPos closed the
ten years war In Cuba by arbitration and
promises OF reform that were never carried
on. 1t appears reasonably certain that
that "outbreak" could not have been shut
of in any other way. The experienced
commander feels sure that in no other
way can the present instruction be
brought to an end than by granting
autonomy to the Cubans. He probably
knows what he is talking about. At any
rate IL the Cubans were able to keep up
a fight for liberty from 1865 to 1878 1t ap-
pears that under present conditions they
can keep it up forever and like the South
American colonies become actually free
even though Spain may not acknowledge
II for years to follow the s~etting-up Of the
republic.

The murdered woman had the second and

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

The light on the mountain falls aslant,
The birds in the bush are still:
The cricket chirps In the pasture plant
When the lows como over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves.
A pale star mounts the sky:
The squirrels rustic the golden sheaves
When the COWS are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep,
Dark'ning the green OF the pine:
Down'in the garden the honeybees sleep.
Missing the breath Of the kline.
The tinkie OF bells ~ sweet to my ear,
But sweeter the words Of n song
That the singer IL slowly bringing near
As she follows the cows along.
She sings of a lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam:
And her cheek grows red when we meet
last.
As the cows are nearing home.

U1fL.

We guess the appointment Of EDWIN f..
UHL TO be ambassador at the Court of
Berlin will give general satisfaction.
The new ambassador is identified with
the CLEVELAND administration as as
sistant secreatry OF state. Under ordi-
nary circumstance he would have served
his term and been unheard Of. Such is
the fate Of the many assistants, private
secretaries and such functionaries in the
great departments who are often so con-
siderably r~esponible for the records OF
their seniors, but who share little OF any
credit, or discredit, that may accrue to
department or bureau. But Secretary
UHL had a peculiar opportunity to secure
distinction and he took advantage of II.
In the absence of the President, and while
Secretary GRESHAM was sick, the Ameri-
can flag was fired upon by a foreign man,
o'-war. The incident was, we believe,
the first OF the kind in something like a
quarter of a century. The American mer-
chairman, Alliance, was brought to by a
shot over her bows from a Spanish gun
boat OF the Cuban blockade feet. The
State Department took action I'm the mat
ter so promptly that the country,
which had looked for nothing but
hesitation and bungling from the
administration in It's foreign deal
ings, was delightfully."- surprised. The
first prompt note was followed by equally
effective diplomatic handling on the part
of the department, and the incident was
closed with expedition and satisfaction to
both nations party to 1t. The people de-
handed to know the exact official who
was responsible for this gratifying piece
of business and from out the State Depart
ment Assistant Secretary UHL was
brought to light to receive the applause
OF his fellow countrymen.
On the death OF Secretary GRESHAM,
Mr.. UHL was mentioned" for promo
ton, but the portfolio went to another
who has since distinguished it, OLNEY OF
Massachusetts. OINEY and UHL have
been running the department ever since,
and the combination has been immensely
satisfactory. We guess everybody will be
glad Of the promotion that now comes to
the assistant secretary. Our dispatches
tell us hat he is a man of culture and
personal dignity and grace OF manner.
He is a lawyer and evidently has a good
deal Of sturdy Americanism in him. We
should say he would make an ideal am
bassador.

THE NEWS takes to itself a good deal of
qualification at the renewed honor that
has come to that member Of its staff who,
on retiring from the office of grand master
in Odd FelIowship,sis chosen grand repre-
sentative by his associates in that splendid
order. And nothing but innate modesty
prevents Us from expressing the opinion,
matured by a somewht extended and in
innate acquaintance with our honored as
s~ociate, that che selection is likewise not
a little creditable to Odd Fellowship.

weakness In their conception, a lack OF
demand for them or bad management.
Several rivals to Odd Fellowship in pub
lie favor have waxed in strength and
prosperity and have commanded a large
measure of public support. But through
all this real or seeming enduring, or only
temporary, competition, Odd Fellowship
has maintained a steady growth here in
Rhode Island that has evidently been
secured on the real merits OF the order.
The report of the grand master, made
yesterday, demonstrates a healthful
condition, although the retiring head of
the order does not hesitate to point out
the fact of a relative slowing down of
growth and to urge the necessity of con-
tinued enterprise and legitimate effort for
greater development. In view of the
severe strain on pocket books the past
year which must nave affected social or
CARNATIONS, even such that are of 50 dis
tinctly a business character as that OF
the Odd Fellows, as 1t has all lines OF
business, we should say that to have
held its own would have been crafty
ing to the Order. A good many business
houses would have been glad to have
made the showing in 1895 that Rhode
Island Odd Fellowship makes. The Order
has increased numerically, and financially
il is as sound as a gold dollar. There
are 81 lodges in the State with the amaz-
ingly fine membership of $500. They have
at command net assets amounting to the
splendid sum Of over 1915, 900, and,
with disbursements OF nearly Ss4, 900
during the year, the receipts are ovar $4,000
in excess Of that magnificent amount,
about s3s, 900 of which was expended for
the relief of brothers, their widows and
orphans, for watching by the sick and
burying the dead. In addition to all
this the Rebekah lodges number 20, with
a membership OF 2400. :
The order Of Odd Fellows is to be con-
graduated on the condition which the
end of the particularly trying year just
closed finds it. There is every inspira-
ton to renewed activity and a year of
greater growth to come, a guarantee Of
which is the fine list of officers chosen at
yesterdays meeting from the ranks of
men recognized by their fellow citizens
within and without the order for ability
and integrity.

Ministers Who Desired the Call
Alarmed at Supposed Division.
OAKLAND, Call, Feb. s.-The Second
Presbyterian Church is yet without a
pastor, and has not even candidate to be
considered for the place. Two weeks ago
there were three prominent and welI-ftted
ministers, either of whom would have
made an acceptable pastor had not the
others been in the field.
The Rev. Donald Ross of San Francisco,
the Rev. John Thomson OF Cambria, San
Luis Obispo County, and the Rev. James
b. Orr of Benicia, were the three. An in
formal ballot showed they al! had friends
in about the same number. The Rev. Mr..
Orr received a call from another church
and accep ted it, but this was unknown 10
the others.
The vote. as informally taken, was given
out in some manner and caused the other
two gentlemen to withdraw their names
on the ground that they did not desire TO
accept call to a divided church, so that
when the church met this week to choose
a pastor, there were none TO be chosen
where there had been three. The choice
has now been left to the session which will
not let its work become public prema-

Remains Found at. Blair Park Those OF
Joseph kallmas.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. s.--A lady who
conducts lodging-house at 415 Eddy
street, San Francisco, called at the morgue
this afternoon and requested to be allowed
to see the remains Of the man found at
Blair Park yesterday morning. She said
she had seen the picture in THE CALL and
believed it was one of her dodgers. When
shown the body she identified it as Joseph
Kallmas.
She refused to give her name, but said
Kallmas had lodged with her two years
tomorrow; that he was a native OF Ger
many, about 60 years of age. He came to
the coast about thirty years ago and had
been a miner at Bodie, Cal, for many
years. The last seen of him was Thurs
day forenoon when he left the house.
He was next seen by Butcher B. McDer-
mott that afternoon walking up the Pied
mont road, the body being found Friday
morning early. The general opinion is
that it is case of suicide from despon
dency, but the Coroner will have an
autopsy held Monday to determine the
cause of death. The inquest will be held
in the evening.

long, cold trip across the bay and back,
besides occupying much time. Under
these circumstances it can readily be un-
derstood that the patrons of the drama in
Oakland wereVery few. Although several
companies wsre induced to come over
here the old Colosseum was so:defnitely a
relic of the past that society Stunned and
actors condemned it.
After the opening of the new theater it
was not very generously patronized for the
first few months, and the people did not
seem to appreciate it until c. e. Cook took
charge of the management. He has had
to create habit and desire to attend the
theater among select body of people who
had learned to look upon first-class play
house as something that they dare not
hone for this side of the bay. Little bv
little the fact was recognized that Oakland
had luxurious playhouse, and with the
recognition of the fact came the first.class
companies. 1t was an uphill fight, for
those to whom the theater was a part of
their social life had formed the habit of
crossing the bay, and it was hard to break
the custom.
After year of persistent effort Mr.. Cook
realized that he had not worked in vain.
