S0CIET TIES.

The Odd Fellows, even in these hot
days, are working earnestly for the well
fare of the order. Lehi lodge No. 26 is
row in good working order, and Friend
ship lodge No. 27 will, it is expected, be
instituted week from Wednesday
This week the grand master, John T.
Buckle, will visit Castle Gate in the
interest of a lodge at that place, and
Grand Secretary Moore will shortly Wis
it Richfield on the same mission. Lodge
news in Salt Lake City at the present
time is scarce, the holidays having to
great extent interfered with the US
ual interesting sessions. Quite a num-
Der Of the active workers have been,
and are rusticating in canyons and
summer resorts, but in another month
matters Will wear a different aspect
and the Odd Fellows column will once
again be full of news.
The principal feature that is now
engaging the attention of the whole
body is the annual excursion fon the
bis9letit OF THE 'Ohd Fellows home
fund" This year Saltair beach has
been made the objective point and the
date fixed upon is the 18th of August
that week the convention of chiefs of
the fire departments in all principal
cities of the Union will take place in
TINS city, and to add to the interest Of
the occasion the managers of the Mad
rid Carnival have agreed with the ex-
cursion committee to give them the
grand pyrotechnical exhibition and add
thereto a set piece exhibiting the en-
blem of the order The amusement
of the afternoon has not yet been de
cided upon. The committee to whom
chat portion of the work falls to will
meet tonight, but it is expected that
besides the usual juvenile treats, for
which the Odd Fellows are noted, a
special feature wiIl be made of enter
tanning the old folks, and lit should be
so, for while the weareTs of the links
are working in the interests Of the
aged who may in their last days call
upon them for material assistance, It
, seems but right shat in the natural
order of things those of the aged who
today are not needy, should receive
some recognition for the work done
during the past half of a century in
this portion of Uncle Sans domain.
