the exercises were held, was crowded to
it's utmost and the decorations were as
tasteful as human ingenuity could make
them. About twenty Of the California
soldier Workmen and as many more visit
ing brother soldiers occupied seats on
the stage. After Introductory remarks by
Edwin Danforth, D. G. NJ. W., chairman
of the general reception committee, the

new officers without even mentioning MS
name. He did not take kindly 10 the
slight and did some more reslgnIIns.
This time he made It stick, for he had no
difficulty in persuading the directors TO
accept mis- withdrawal. He stated that
certain OF the directors had said That
they would never serve on the board II
he were member and rather than ere
ate discord he would step down and out.
". D. J. Hambly Of San Jose was elect
ed president, William Rider vice president,
Mrs. II. L. Robinson secretary, 3. T:
Small treasurer. The new president said
that he would make no promises for the
