Lloyd B. Cooley, the chancellor COM
mander of Gauntlet lodge, Knights OF
Pythias. is one of the young progress
sive officers of the order. He has
passed through all of the various sta
tions in the lodge, and has proved him
self capable in all the different branches
of the work. While in the station of
prelate he was considered one of the
best in Southern California. A thor
ough parliamentarian, coOl-headed and
yet decisive in his rulings. Brother
Cooley has for the short time as pre-
siding officer of the lodge endeared
himself with the membership. AS a
visitor to the sick and distressed men,
bers he has but few equals. Brother
Cooley Is president of the bureau of
relief of the order. The duties thus i'm
posed require considerable time for a
busy young man and deprives one in
that position of much pleasure, owing
to the fact that the bureau meets
every Sunday.
Gauntlet lodge will hold the first of
a series of ladies nights" next Mon
day at Castle hall, 10S North Spring
street One Of the features of the pro-
gram will be an exhibition drill by the

INDUCED in. Brother G. A. Horn, with
his superb orchestra, will furnish the
music. Members and their friends are
cordially invited to attend,

SONS OF ST. GEORGE

Charles B. Sedgwick. editor and man
ager of the British Californian, pub
lished in Oakland, was a member Of
the grand lodge of the Sons of St.
George, which recently met in Los An
geles. From his interesting descrip-
ton of the grand lodge and the beau
ties of our city and vicinity we clip
the following from the British-Cali-
fornian, which has special reference to
Los Angeles:
Los Angeles is a city of some 300,-
900 inhabitants, and in it's irregular
and crowded streets gives a sugges-
ton of London. 1t is a bright, clean
city, with many IMPOSING edifices and
the best of institutions. The visitor
from crude and unpublished San Fran
cisco is at once struck by the civility
and intelligence of the police and all
persons in general who serve the pub
lie. Every policeman carries with him
in a little book the name of every
street, club and institution. together
with directions as to how they can
best be reached. The street car sys-
tenn, in addition to being efficient, Is
exceedingly we'll managed. Men in
signal towers are stationed at every
crossing and they control the switches
by electric contrivances. Then, too,
the long distance lines have terminal
depots in the heart of the town, and
here are comfortably appointed wait
ing rooms for the convenience of the
public There is no waiting in the sun
or rain at street corners for your car,
and consequently no danger or dis
comfort in allghting or embarking.
There are no steep grades to climb, the
hills in town are tunneled under. Cars
for distant suburban places make no
stop en- route; they run on separate
lines, and thus you are whisked twenty
miles to your destination in thirty min
utes-an eye-opener to the San Fran
ciscan.
LOS Angeles is thoroughly organ
lied, and this perhaps is the secret OF
it's marvellous growth and success. The
moment you put your name on hotel
register you are in touch with every
interest in the city and for fifty miles
around There is no danger of your
missing anything you should see; it Is
brought to your notice, and in a way
so courteous and entertaining that 1t
is a pleasure to be advised. And, in
credible as It at first seems, it soon
becomes Iobvious that 1t is the gooo
will of the stranger that is sought
more than his money. This gives Los
Angeles, uniqueness among Ameri-
can cities"

Clad Hand in a joint initiation to
class of candidates, at which the work
will be divided between the officers
of both courts. The officers of the

portant officers and Companion Court,
