10. o. F. GRAND LODGE.

BEGINNING Tuesday next, the Grand
Lodge of the Independent Order Of
Odd Fellows for the jurisdiction of
Utah will hold two days session.
At This session the officers elected by
the past grands of the jurisdiction will
be installed. Truth exclusively pub
lshed the names of the successful
candidates in its last issue, with the
execution of Grand Warden, which
was in doubt. The returns received
since show the election of F. M. Ull-
mer, of Friendship Lodge, No. 81 by
majority of about twenty. Although
this is the greatest fraternity in this
state in point of membership and
standing, none of the city dailies
thought the election of sufficient i'm
pOrtance to mention, although nearly
5000 active members would have been
pleased to see the announcement of
the result as it was definitely deter
mined.
At the coming session of the grand
lodge there will be some slight
changes made in the constitutions OF
subordinates, owing no doubt to the
recent decisions of the supreme court
IN the matter of Sandy Lodge, No. IL,
and in the instance of the Woodmen,
recently handed down.
The fraternity hts suffered an ire
parable loss in the death of j. Frank
Grant, secretary of the sovereign
grand lodge, which occurred in Balti-

Mr.. HANFoRD'S SUCCESS
IN TANNING OF THE SHREW''

After an absence of six years from
the local stage Washingtons popular
player, Mr.. Charles B. Hanford. has re-
turned TO his home city, and held the
boards during the present week at the
Columbia Theater. Much was expected
OF Mr.. Hanford in his presentation of
THE Tanning of the Shrew." and it is
but fair to say that even more was re-
allied. The engagement, which closes
tomorrow night, will rank as one of
the standard successes of the present
season.
In this age of the abbreviated skirt
and diaphanous hose it is a pleasure
10 chronicle the fact that there is at
least one actor who has the temerity
to stand by his ideals and present such
plays as will tend to uphold the stage
among the arts. When an actor has
the courage to plant his standard on
such a high plane, IN despite of the
public-s evident partiality for lighter
and more frivolous forms OF entertain
ment ii is the duty Of the public. the
pulpit, and the press to uphold and as
sist him in his efforts.
Further opportunity to see Mr. Han
ford in THE Tanning of the Shrew'' is
limited TO the performance tonight and
the matinee and night tomorrow, and
the merit OF the production should alone
be sufficient to test the capacity of the
Columbia Theater.
