| Next Wednesday evening the Rebekah
! lodges of ST. Paul will celebrate the forty
eighth anniversary5sof the ladies' branch
! of Odd Fellowship with a grand ball at
| ODD Fellows block, the proceeds Of which
| will be donated to the Odd Fellows home
| at Mortified. The. Rebekah degree was
| adopted on Sept 20, 1851 the conception
| of which Is due to Hon. Schuyler ColfaX,
| who was lifelong member Of the order.
It was termed 4side degree" and was
conferred upon the wives and daughters
| Of members of the subordinate lodge.
| But owing to the prejudice against ladies'
| organizations in that day and age, 1t
| made slow progress until the year 1888,
when the degree was taken from the sub
ordinate lodge and made a branch Of
| Odd Fellowship. Since that date 1t has
| increased in strength and influence, and
had, on Dec. 81, 1897, 1881 members. It's
principal work has been directed to the
| establishment of homes for aged mem
| bers and orphans Of the order and as a
result Of the efforts of It's members there
has been established Cor Is in contempla-
tion) such homes in more than one-half
the states of the Union. The Rebekah
| degree has been, and is today, distin-
guished for its energy and progressive
ness; its devotees are alive and earnest
| in whatever they undertake. The name
of Colfax awakens within their hearts
not only grateful, but endearing, memo
ries, stamped with brilliant and imperish-
| able luster upon the records of this great
fraternity.
St. Paul lodge has invited its members
to card party to be held on Tuesday
evening, Sept. 18th. This lodge recently
donated $1,000 to the Odd Fellows home,
which, together with other contributions,
| amount, in the aggregate, to 1875.
