 An attempt to raise the membership Of Ali Baba sanctorur1, No. 16e, e. O. H. and F., will be made after the annual, meeting of the society which is to be held in Concordia hall, 1S9 State street, at o'clock on Thursday evening. The ection of officers will take place at this meeting
 This order had its origin in Canada about five years ago and had a re- markedly rapid growth. Its member ship was composed almost exclusively Of members of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, although in no part of it's ritual was the other order men tened nor were any of the Odd Eel lows embIems, insignias or rituaIistic work used
 Nevertheless the supreme lodge Of the l. O. O. F. placed a ban on the order, prohibiting members of the odd Fellows from holding membership in the order. This action caused a great number of new members to withdraw, as many of them feared for their sanding in the I. O. O. F if they continued al members Of the ~O.-O. H. and P. If membership in one or der must be sacrificed they preferred to give up the last named society.
 Because of this ban many of the members withdrew, although in spite of the ban enough retained member ship in the local branch to keep it in existence After an stigation by the executive heads Of the I. o. o. F. the ban has been removed and loyal members of the order are looking to a large accession to their ranks fol- lowing the annual meeting here.
