wave OF sadness came with the news of
Ihe gong home of that great-souled
woman, Mary A. Livermore, and resolu-
tlon OF sorrow was added by the commits
tee little earlier the national organizer.
Mrs. Ada Unrah, had entered and been
welcomed by the convention,
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The election of officers returned the
same board, with the exception OF the re-
cordlng secretary, who though gratifed
by the evident wish Of the con ention to
Keep her IN office, yet felt obliged to re-
iuse nomination, and Mrs. Sarah f. Rich
was elected to filled the position. The
officers are: President, Mrs Estelle Benson
stanley; corresponding secretary, Mrs
hubie J. Tracy; recording secretary, Mrs.
sarah +. Rich; treasurer, Mrs. 4. w.
Clark; auditor, Miss NJ. A. Carroll. Some
changes were made in the list of superin-
tendents.
By request the lighthouse song was
given again al the opening of the evening
service, and the trio of singers betting the
globe with white ribbon, received hearty
applause. Fraternal delegates from
femctic lodge, /. o. o. f., and Rowena
hebckah lodge were accorded a place on
the programme A. T. Richardson repre-
sented the Odd Fellows in fiye-minute
from the Rebekahs, and Mrs Maud Mason
Irask sang solo, "The Queen of the
Earth"
Mrs. Ada Wallace Unruh held the close
attention of the audience in very power
tul address. As there is a prospect of
having Mrs. Gnruh in the county in July,
II Is to be hoped that large audiences will
have the pleasure Of listening to her able
speeches.
Near the close of the evening very
striking tableau was given, preceded by
SIX franchise questions propounded by DIR.
A. NJ. Fulton. The tab(eau was a woman
bound with red tape look ing on while her
male interiors voted, but Columbia cut the
bonds and the woman eagerly deposited
her ballot. A duet by Mrs. Allen and
Mrs. Iawton emphasized the chief
thought of the speaker, save the boys.
The convention closed with the county
song composed by our promoted sister,
Mrs. K. ). Warren. Good win and har-
mony was the prevailing keynote through
out the sessions. J. NJ. NJ.

The entertainment given under the aus

Unitarian church at Odd Fellows hall last
Friday evening was we'll attended, the hall
being filled The programme was
pleasing one.
The "Reveries of Bachelor" repre-
sented bachelor just returned from
ball where his fate had finally been sealed,
and all the sweethearts of previous days
pass before him as visions until finally the
bride appears. Harry l.. Crabtree, as the
bachelor, filed the part well. Tho cos
tunes worn by the s'sweethearts" were
appropriate to the characters represented,
many of them handsome, and they formed
pretty pictures as they passed across the
stage, and in the final grouping when all
appeared. The following took part

All the numbers of the second part were

won the audience. The FREELY chorus
was unique. The effect was obtained by
lighted Joss sticks in the hair of the sing
ers, the hall being in darkness during the
chorus. As an encore to their solo, Mrs,
Walker and Churchill sang the duet
"Sweet Louise. The entire programme
was well rendered.
The committee in charge of the affair
were Mrs. s. j. Morrison, Mrs. Howard A.
