Odd Jtellows Ond Uheir Srand jubilee
CELEBRATION of the- golden Jubilee
of Odd Fellowship In California
came to an end at 2 o'clock this
morning with the final strains of
the last waits at Mechanics' Pa
vilion The closing scene was one never
to be forgotten. Outside was the cul
mination of two days' drizzle Into a
steady downpour. Inside a fairyland In
which color set off beauty while music
moved the mass.
At every stage of the celebration the
members of the Jubilee committee found
the elements against them and at every
stage they triumphed, plucking more than
magnificent results out of almost absolute
impossibility. Clouds threatened their
parade. Some were on the point of post
poning it, but the majority voted to go
ahead, and go ahead they did. Resultr-the
most noteworthy civic parade ever given
In the city by any organization— con
taining so many striking features that It
would be useless to name them all. In the
evening the competitive drills were sched
uled to take place. The drizzle came down
eteadily and late In the afternoon It
seemed as if it would be hard work to
draw a corporal's guard to the Pavilion.
At S o'clock the 6000 seats were filled and
still the crowds were passing through the
doors. How many succeeded In getting In
is not known, but It Is safe to say that
not less than 10,000 people witnessed the
competition and exhibition.
It was with a feeling of regret that the
committee felt compelled to admit the po
tency of the weather man to the extent
of calling oft the excursion and picnic to
El Campo, billed yesterday, and substitut
ing in its place a concert at the Pavilion,
during the intervals of which the games
arranged would be contested. Their feel-
Ing of regret was turned to glee before
half of the programme had been carried
through. The Indoor picnic was a success
in every particular. No less than 4000 peo
ple braved the storm to take part in It.
and they made things go with a whoop
•hat did good the hearts of me commlttee
inen.
After all these nice things that could
be directly attributed to the rain the Odd
Fellows began to feel rather friendly to
J. Pluvius and made up their minds that
he was going to do them Just one more
big favor before he quit and that was to
keep up his lick during the afternoon to
prevent an uncomfortable crowding on
the dancers at the Pavilion during the
•night. Almost before the wish had been
formed the ruin god began to gratify it.
Down came the drops harder and harder,
until at 7 o'clock in the evening it seemed
a certainty (hat there would be no crowd
ing on the big floor.
Once again the rain proved powerless to
deter the Odd Fellows and their friends
from flocking to the big structure. The
vast crowd of the night before was almost
duplicated. There might have been a thou
sand less than on the occasion of the
competitive drill, but it was not missed.
The number of dancing jubilants could
have been cut in half and still there would
have been lack of comfortable elbow room
In which to dance.
These are a few of the things upon
which the Odd Fellows of California can
look back and of which they can feel
proud, and of which they do.
The programme last evening opened
with several concert numbers by the
band, during the course of which the Pa
triarchs Militant and the Rebekah drill
corps thai had participated in the exhibi
tions of the night tore marched onto the
Iloor. again to draw shouts of admiration
from the onlookinpr thousands. After be
ing marched In review they were drawn
up before Grand Scribe \V. H. Barnes,
who was to present the prizes.
The decision of the judges was that
Canton Ridgeley No. 13 of Stockton had
earned first' place. Grand Scribe Barnes
d-livered to Captain W. Bruce the first
prize consisting of a check for $100 and
the Grand Encampment trophy, a beauti
ful vase. Canton No. 1. Sacramento, got
second place and a check for $l;-0. In de
livering the prizes Grand Scribe Barnes
announced that the judgv.s had found only
a trifling difference Fn the work of the two
teams, but he reminded them that trifles
made perfection. _ • .-
The captains of the San Jose, Stockton
and Pan Francisco ekah drill corps
v.ere each handed checks for *>• for the
creditable appearance of their commands.
The lieutenants and ensigns were present

through the night there was a kaleido
scopic scene of beauty which never wav
ered once during the long programme of
tventy-four lances Everything moved
like clockwork, only more quickly for the
dancer? who did not relish leaving such
a jubilee for the downpour outside.
The ball was as successful as any other
feature of the celebration, and to the fol

and at times during the afternoon the
seating capacity of the big interior was
on the point of being severely tested.
The games that had been arranged as
part of the attractions for the outdoor
picnic were very cleverly contested on the
main floor of the Pavilion, and those who
did not participate shook their sides
laughing at the efforts of fat men ajid
fat women to annex race prizes. There
were bowling contests and ring tossing,
bean bag events and races for all sorts
of men. women and children. Patriarchs
Militant raced over the waxed floor as if
th«y were trying to beat the Columbia;
Bhapely Rebekahs gathered their skirts !n
their hands and sprinted for dear life; no
ble grands ran like deer, and some of
them slipped and slid, and everything
went merry as a marriage bell.
In the intervals between events the
band played dance music and those who
desired to danced. It wasn't El Campo,
but it was very pleasant. The commit
tees in charge 'of the various contests
were made up of the following: Bowling,
Brother Roy Daniels and Sister Joost;
ring toss, Brother Aphworth and Sisters
Stone and Jensen: bean bag, Brother
Perry and Sister Hall: puppet gallery,

Division No. 2. A. O. H.. gave Itu an
nual "smoker" last evening a: Hibernla
Hall. 120 Ninth street. There were pres
ent many representative!! of other divi
sions and their friends. The " l -.-asion
was virtually a reunion of the members
of one of the strongest and most intluen
tial orders of the city and Btate. Mr.
Hartley Lee, th»- presidi ni of the division,
acted as master of ceremonies and In
troduced the talent which gave a sort of
wireless telegraphy entertainment that
lasted into the wee sma' hours. Charles
Flannagan, editor of the Nation, made
an eloquent talk in which he expressed
greal sympathy fur ihe Boers tn their
struggle agalr.st the English. The senti
ment elicited hearty applause. Judge M.
■ y gave a poetic history of the ord< r
from its inception and Bane an Irish
song In the anclr-nt CJaelic. T. L. Clancy
dilated upon the charter and the "Pres
enl Political Problem," during wjiich he
declared that he avoided politico in ac
cordance with the rule of the society, but
some of the members did not think that
he kept within the limit, thouj
sought to call him down. John Klnny
and M. F. Donloavy won the prize aa lif?
dancers and Paul Petlnl warn accorded the
honors for his rendition of airs from
Italian operas In the original tongue. The
Inimical Chinese songs and re, Itations by
Tommy Naylor were highly appreciated
Several politicians called during the
evening, but they did not get In their
deadly work save to extend the glad hand
and make a few "Irrelevant remarks."
At the conclusion Secretary Clancy was
given a vote of thanks for the boun'ffu!
board which was furnished to the guests.
CHILDREN TAUGHT TO

PASADENA, Oct. 20.— The Pasadena ]
Bchools have introduced a system of sav

money. There is nothing compulsory j
about it, the idea being to afford an op- j

are m- n Monday by the teacher,
who turns it over to the principal of the
school, by whom it is deposited in the
Building and Loan Association in the
name of the superintendent depositing It.
At the end of the fiscal year the divi
dends of the Building and Loan Associa
tion are paid to the principal, who dis
tributes it among the Individual deposit
ors. The account can be drawn upon by
the pupil after a notice or' thirty days,
if the demand has the indorsement of
the principal and parent or guardian.
This precludes the possibility of the
whimsical spending of money by the
children.
A great deal of Interest bas been shown
by the children from the beginning. The
jilan bas been In operation only three
weeks and already 548 out of the 1850
pupils in the schools have deposited. The
entire amount has reached the sum of

EASTERN STAR CHAPTER
ELECTS NEW OFFICERS

Grand Chapter, Order Eastern Star,

cussion of matters that were recom
mended in the reports.
A motion was made that the Grand
Chapter create the office of honorary
worthy past grand patron and confer the
same upon William S. Moses, the father
of the Order of Eastern Star in Califor
nia, but it was discovered that this could
be done only by an amendment to the con
stitution, and to bring about this result a
committee wan appointed to present a
suitable amendment. It was also pro
vided that the office shall be only during
the lifetime of Mr. Moses.
An Invitation was received from the
chapter in San .lose asking that the next
session of the Grand chapter he held in
the Garden < "It;, of California.
In the afternoon there was the election
for grand officers for the ensuing term.

MUST STAMP TRUNK RECEIPTS.
New Ruling of the Internal Revenue
Department.
According to the nevt ruling of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, transfer com
panies will be obliged to put a stamp on
all receipts for trunks which are taken up
In one city and delivered in another. This
ruling will apply especially to cases where
the trunk checks are turned over to the
express companies and delivered in near
by cities on wagons owned and controlled
by the companies.
The attention of the Revenue Bureau in
Washington was called to the method
adopted by transfer companies in the
various cities regarding the delivery of a
trunk from a house or hotel in one city
to B residence fir hotel in another city
without the receipt being stamped. Order's
have been issued to internal revenue offi
cers to Investigate the transfer companies
In their districts, and Collector Lynch will
instruct division deputies to see that the
law is enforced. The tax is 1 cent on
each receipt, and amounts to a large sum
in the aggregate.
Superintendent Graham of the People's
Express Company, in discussing the rul
i'lsr yesterday, said:
"we have always endeavored to comply
with the law regarding the stamping of
receipts which we give for parcels and
trunks. In <\:ses where we pick up the
baggage in this city and transfer it to
Oakland, Alameda or Berkeley on our
wagons which cross the ferries' we have
always put a stamp upon the receipt In
cases, however, where the check for the
trunk is turned over to us by other com
panies which collect them "on Incoming
steamers, we have not been in .the habit
of stamping the receipt for the check
where we transfer the packages to near
by cities. If the decision covers this kind
of receipt we will certainly comply with
the ruling."

THE GRIFFITHS SEIZED.
Customs Officials Are Determined to
Collect the Fine.
PORT TOWXSEXn. Wash.. Oct. 20.—
The American barkentine J. E. Griffiths
was seized yesterday by the customs of
ficials in default of payment of a li'ie of
$r.'iou Imposed upon her for violation of the
[Jnited States shipping regulations. Lie
Griffiths arrived here from Newchwang
China, on September 27 and did not have
a United States Consular bill of health
hence the $8000 line. Heretofore in cases
of Vessels coming from for<M Kn ports
without a consular bill of health the au
thorities at Washington have ordered
their release, but in the case of the Grite
nths instructions are to insist on full
payment of the tine, as negligence of
ship masters in this respect was becoming
too frequent.
The Griffiths is loading lumber at Had
lock and will give bonds pending th.- til
ing of information in the I'nited States
court and will sail for China on comple
tion of her cargo.

STANFORD BOYS
GREET FUNSTON
Chapel Crowded to the
Doors.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 20.—
General Frederick Funston was given a
musing reception by the students of
Stanford University when he addressed
them in the chapel this afternoon. Only
the faculty and students were admitted,
but they "filled all the available space,
while others anxiously waited outside.
While in favor of relentlessly prosecut-
Ing the war. now that it has been started,
General Funston is not upon principle an
out and out expansionist. In his remarks
to the students he reviewed the history
of the events which happened after his
arrival up to the time of the breaking out
of hostilities. Continuing, he spoke in
part as follows:
Our war never hns been with the Filipinos
as a nrtion. for they are divided into various
tribes speaking llfteen or twenty different
tongues, but with the Tagalos, who are the
most advanced of all the natives and occupy
the southern part of the islands. Their leaders
are young politicians, between 20 and 30 years
of age. ambitious and unscrupulous to the high
est decree. They have everything- to gain and
nothing to lose, and run their game with a cun
nlThere"V no use in discussing expansion or
anti-expansion, for few of us believe in run
nine about the world annexing foreign terri
tories but now thnt we are In the country and
have 'lost so many men we must thoroughly
thrash every tribe that resists American au
thority With an army of 70.000 men, such as
we have there now. I believe it can be done
THE EMPORIUM.
by next March, if an active campaign is pur
sued. When this is once done I think, tl.o
Filinincs will make loyal Americans.
Much criticism of the conduct of the war has
be?n made In the papers, and often things have
been done which I have thought to be unwise.
However, all I know is that General Otis Is
my superior officer, and I have a feeling that a.
man who was a major general almost before
I was born must know better how to do things
than I do.
When the Islands are finally conquered the
most difficult task is still to follow. Whoever
is President of these United States may he be
wise enough to place at the head of the colon
ial government down there a man of the high
est integrity and not one whose only recom
mendation is a political pull. Americans should
be mixed with Filipinos In the government, and
every remnant of Spanish law wiped from, the
statute books.
General Funston refuted the charges nf
bad conduct and cruelty which irresponsi
ble camp followers had made, saying that
in his experience he had not seen a Fili
pino soldier treated in any unkind way,
and that there were more wounded Fili
pinos in Amerioan hospitals than there
were American soldiers. He termed the
Islands thf richest undeveloped country
in the world, with 112,000 square miles of
tillable land, beside? rich mines and for
ests of hard wood, predicting that in tea
or fifteen years they would become an
cther Ceylon or Java.
General and Mrs. Funston were given a
reception to-night at the residence of
President Jordan by the Stanford Chap
ter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
About 200 guests were present, including
people prominent in both social and col
lege affairs, making the event one of the
most pleasant of the year "With General
Funston was Chancellor F. H. Snow,
head of the University of Kansas, from
which institution the general is a grad
uate.

Mrs. Mary Ann Rea, beloved wife of
Hon. Thomas Rea and mother of James
W.. Supervisor George E. and Carrie Rea,
Mrs. Louis Larpe of San Jose, Mrs. Adda
Strange of San Francisco and Mrs. Clara
Hunna of Berkeley, has cast a gloom over
the community. She had resided In the

unexpected and was due to neuralgia of
the heart.
