1000 TO Attend Session
Upwards of 1000 Uud Fellows from
all over Pennsylvania including the
Daughters of Rebekah, women's s
branch of the order, will assemble at
the session which will be formally
opened Monday, May IS, but on. the
day previous, services will be conduct
ed at Salem Reformed Church. This
services, which will take place Sun
day evening, will be participated in
by the local lodges and by many OF
the officers of the lodges who are eX-
Ipected to be here in advance to the
general coming of the hosts of dele
gates from all over the State. The
Rev. Donald s. Mackellar, of Hawley,
| Wayne county, who is chaplain of the
order, will preach at this time.
Then on Monday the sessions prop
er will begin in the Majestic Theater,
when city, county and State officials
will deliver addresses of welcome ia
which officers of the grand lodge will
reply. Sessions will continue for four
or five days. This Is the ninety-first
annual sitting of the grand lodge. Ow-
| ing to its central location and desira-
bility as a convention city, Harrisburg
has been favorite as place of hold
| ing the grand lodge sessions, the Odd
Fellows choosing it more often than
ANY other place At the meeting of the
grand lodge in 1913 at Gettysburg this
place was again selected for the 1914
meeting.
Representing 1.19S lodges in the
| State, about 1900 men are expected
here, which together with grand lodge
officers and others, will swell the num-
Der of visitors to 1900. Then, it is
expected, there will be about 500
members of the Rebekahs in attend
ance. The Chestnut street auditor
| ium has been secured as the meeting
place Of the Daughters of the Rebe-
kah.
Local committees are at present
busy laying plans for the reception and
Accommodation of the visitors. and no
pains will be spared to make the con-
vention as successful as any hitherto
held in this city. The 1900 or more
Odd Fellows in the city are ,endeav-
oring to awaken an interest in the
coming Of the lodgemen to Harrisburg
with q view to having the town gen.
orally decorated In their Dehalf. They
point out that Harrisburg secures
these sessions and the presence of over
1000 strangers without being called
upon for any contribution either from
its municipal governors or from the
body of citizens themselves, and urge
that Harrisburg ought TO show it's cp-
preciation of the honor conferred on
the city by liberal adornment of the
town.
The grand lodge officers who will
be here will include:
Grand Master Fred c. IIanyen
Scranton; Deputy Grand Master Paul
A. Benson, Erie; Grand Warden J. p
H. Jenkins, Norristown; Grand Secre-
tary Usher A. Hall, Philadelphia;
Grand Treasurer M. Richards Muckle

Secretary Harry S. Wright, Philadel-
phia; Grand Marshal Philip J. Vetter
Scranton; Grand Conductor. William

aid Harry Smith, Philadelphia.
Competition for the offices which
usually develops O. fair-sized friendly
C ntest, begins at the grand warden
ship, the two offices above this sue
ceeding by promotion, according tc
the well-recognized custom Of the odd
Fellows.
