 There being sttilI some difference of opinion In the matter of the raised license on liquor dealers, among the Aldermen, although the raised licenses has been adopted by the Council; still to prevent any misstep being taken, owing to the fact that the liquor in- terests are going to fight the high li- cense, the matter was referred to the Judiciary Committee for discussion, in order to prevent unnecessary legal pro- cedure and arrests being made. if af- ter October 10 the liquor dealers de- cline to pay the license. Alderman Sullivan and others have decided to take steps in Council to, if possible, reduce the license. and to avoid any further complications the matter was decided as stated in order to be sure that the city Is within its rights. E Alderman Saufs ordinance providing that habitual white inebriates be con- fined for the terms to which they are sentenced, in the former pest house on the wetumpka Road, was adopted with the amendment that the Recorder may order them to be worked in cemeteries or public parks.

Alderman Johnson contended for his point, but several Councllmen contended that the city streets shoulo not be damaged by the sliding wheeIs and the ordinance forbidding brakes and chained wheels was adopted. A petition from veteran Of the Con federate army asking that he pc al- lowed to keep a small store without paving a license. was unfavorably re- ported by the Finance Committee, and was so adopted by the Council after a warm discussion between Alderman Sullivan, who wished the veterans pe- tition granted, and Alderman Parrish who said 1t was a bad precedent to ss- tablish.

Grand Representative Tnos. c. Wat
son, who with c. ID. Rinehart, of
Jacksonville and A. NJ. CUshman, of
Gainesville, represented Florida at the
annual session of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of /. o. o. F.. held this year at
Denver, has returned to the city after
an absence of over two months. AT
ter the Odd Fellows had adjourned
for the year Mr. and Mrs. Watson
visited many points of interest in the
north and west
Mr.. Watson is much pleased with
the reports made at the session, as
they showed the order to be in a most
fiourishing and healthy condition, and
growing rapidly in membership. Re-
garding the order, Mr.. Watson in an
interview with a Journal represent
alive yesterday said:
Reports from the various grand
lodge officers were highly encourag-
ing, as in spite of the financial strin-
gency, there was a net gain of 80, 44S
members for the year 1907, and the
total membership reached the enor-
nous figures of 1,S14,445 on Dec 81
last. This places it without question
at the pinnacle of all purely fraternal
organizations, and its influence is far
reaching over a large portion of the
civilized world. Besides having a
large membership in every nook and
corner of this country, it has spread
to the continent of Europe, where
lodges may be found in Germany

ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS IN
FlOURSHING CONDITION

Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden
and Denmark, and a large member
ship has been secured in Australasia
as well as in Alaska, Newfoundland,
Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Cuba,
Panama, Argentine, Mexico, France.
Japan and South Africa.
This order dispensed for relief dur
ing last year over five millions of dOI
lars, and has paid out since 1880 a
total of one hundred and twenty mil
lions of dollars for this benevolent
purpose. 1t has relieved 295,S2O
widowed families, and who can esti-
mate the suffering and pain that has
been assuaged by the kindly and be-
nevolent offices of the members OF
this order 10 each other?
There is a very important auxiliary
branch connected with the order.
known as the Rebekah branch, which
has grown immensely during the last
decade, there being 371,6S7 sisters be-
longing to it on Dec. 81, last, and
showing a net gain of 24,464 sisters
during the year. Their power for
good in the great work of fraternity
and benevolence is Unreasonable, and
is further evidenced from the fact
that forty-three homes for the widows
and orphans and aged members of the
order have been erected in the various
Jurisdictions at cost of over two mil
lions of dollars, and 2537 inmates of
these homes are being cared for with
solicitude for their welfare at an an
nual cost of S472,713. and this benevo-
lent work has devolved chiefly upon
the Rebekah Sisterhood.
The grand secretary of the order,
in summing up his annual report,
says: Never before was Odd Fellow
ship so strong. or as well prepared for
carrying on it's great and good work
as now. AS it approaches very near
ly the two million membership mark,
grateful hearts rejoice in the marvel
Gus prosperity and vast fraternal and
benevolent influence and results which
have been vOuchsafed TO it. Surely
the blessings of heaven have attend
ed it in its mission to humanity and
in its onward course"
