Only Three of the Six Elective Off.
GERS Chosen at the Session

There was large attendance of dele
gates at the session of the Grand Chap
ter of the Order of the Eastern Star yes

The morning session was taken up in
the discussion of a number of resolutions

busy one, as at that time came up the

the election of grand patron, grand mat

Chapter, San Francisco, was elected as
sociate grand patron, after which an ad-
journment was had until this morning,
when the election OF associate grand mat
