OPENING SESSION
Of the Supreme Court of the Order Of
Foresters.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 30.-The open
ing session of the triennial meeting Of
the supreme court Of the independent
order of ForeEters was held yesterday.
The first important business that came
before the supreme court was the pre-
sentation of the triennial report of Dr..
Oronhyetakha, supreme chief ranger, in
which he advocated the correction OF
some minor abuses, and the institution
of certain reform in administration.
1t has been reported that the supreme
court contemplated a rerating OF the
old members at the present session, but
the officials deny the statement Su-
preme Secretary J. NJ. AcGilvray said in
regard to this question;
1.-The supreme body has not to the
best of my knowledge, considered or
even thought OF taking any action on
the rates established three and a half
years ago, which have proved satisfac-
tory to all concerned, and the additional
rate Of about IS per cent levied on new
members has in no way interfered with
the progress of our society.
In his report DR.. Oronhyetakha called
attention to the fact that up to January
1, 1902, the supreme court distributed IN
benefits to its members and their bene-
fciaries more than 81, 900.
January 1, 1902, the order has 191. SIT
members, a GAIN over all losses of &c.
1872 men bers during the four years end
ing with Decembe 81, 1901 Accumula-
ted funds had increased December 81
1901, to $5,142, 066.29.
Since the last session of the supreme
court, December 81, 1902, there have
been Instituted 1,375 subordinate and
companion courts.

CAPT. CLARK EXPLAINS.
Defamation Was Prompted by In
ability to Bear the Expense.

Philadelphia, April 30-When asked to-
day why he mad declined the appoint
ment as one of the ENJOYS to King Ell
wards coronation, Capt. Clark, former
commander of the battleship Oregon,
said:
TT was entirely a question of money.
I told the president how things stood.
and he let me off That's all there is to
it. Even a government officer must
sometimes live upon his salary, and I
am, unfortunately, one of that kind. All
the appropriations in the world wouldn't
help buy me a new suit. They might
cover the cost of any dinners or recep-
tons I might give: they might enable
me to drive behind fine horses, but they
wouldn't pay for a necktie. Appropria-
lions can't be applied to a mans per-
sonal expenses. see the British gov
ernn ent volunteered to pay expenses of
ENJOYS. OF course, Americans couldn't
accept that; and, anyway. the offer
would not cover personal expenses. BY
the time had figured up all the neces-
sary things decided it was too much
of a good thing for a man Of my modest
means"

RECALLS THE PAST.

There Is no fragrance to be found like
the fragrance Of the woods these au-
tumnal days. The ground carpeted
with the fallen, rustling leaves which
SO lately emblazoned the forest with
splendor gives forth an aroma which
stirs the old barbarian instinct and
makes one want to get away from the
grind of business, the daily paper and
the telephone and live some days of the
long ago over again, watch the wood
duck preen his glorious plumage on
some secluded forest pool, hear the
chatter Of the squirrels and wild pi-
geons. the drumming Of the ruffed
grouse, hear the distant bay of the
hound on track of the deer or cast
line in the woodland stream for trout
or bass. Strange how SO small
thing as the fragrance OF the dying
leaves could recall so much of the al
most forgotten past. but for us it does.
