Welcoming Address.Mrs. Cuthbertson made the address of

welcome, in which she called particularattention to the age of the Rebekah de-gree.Mrs. Cuthbertson said:"'I esteem it a pleasant duty as well as U

great privilege to externd to you one andall a cordial and hearty welcome, and lelme assure you wve do not say welcom.l-ecause custom retquires it, but becausewe are glad you are with us. Our heargreets you w.armly. and the genial spirno.f the evening will be a happy expressiorof the same."In order that I may welcome you mor4

cordially, let me take you into a littlesecret which could not be told to any oni

Mrs. Dora ,T. Hendrix.Sexcept those who are almost as closeus as the members of our family circleSWell. now for the secret. We are fift3Sthree years old today. Our brothers<

r the order have owned up to eighty-iyears of age, but have said it is chaiacteristic of our sex to want to conceeour age; that may be so, but In this cauwe have made a virtue of necessity 13Stelling you what you would. most likel

r find out for yourself."If you could have access to the recoral

of the famIly bible of Odd Fellowshlwhere our advent among the affairsthat great fraternity is recorded, ycwould see our work and know oistrength, which is abundant evidenithat we must have passed out of titeens.

"It Is said a man is as old as he feeuand a woman is as old as she looks. 'P'might claim to be sweet sixteen, butscarcely think you would believe us,-.fif you would look around at the splendp.work we have accomplished, the onemous strides we are making, the notproportions we have assumed, and Viein ing the sum total of our achievemen'

Addrew by Mrs. XaA=The proclamation for the celebration

was read by Mrs. H. Werner. Then, fol-lowing a solo by Miss Nettie Wallace,the address of the evening was deliveredby Mrs. Dora J. Hendrix.The burden of her address was the age

and early history of the degree, as wellas the work It has accomplished. Shetold of its establishment by the Cindin-nati convention of the sovereign lodge ft'1850. She spoke also of the strength of.the degree In the United States and in theDistrict of Columbia.REferring to the ritual of the degree Mrs.

Hendrix said:"It Is pure and elevating in Its senttn*nts

and eloquent In Its style of. matter. . Itteaches all that Is beautiful and upliftingin pure and noble womanhood. The greatmoral lessons which it teaches -are wellcalculated to Impress the soul with its re--sponsibility to God and Its duty to humani-ty. If we practice the precepts of our or-der we must be good women."Every great Institution, every great

virtue, every ideal of life is sure to find itsglorious exemplification In the great char-acter of an upright person. That woman isa worker in the fraternal world today isdue to no effort of her own. She is therebecause man wills it so. Where man beck-oned womAn followed. That was her na-ture. Where thou goest I will go has everbeen her cry.

Tenets of the Order."The noblest attributes of our order are

friendship, love and truth, founded in thepurest philanthropy, scattering blessingslike dew from heaven alike upon the richand the poor. Our duty is to visit the sick,relieve the distressed, bury the dead, edu-cate the orphan. We do not shrink fromthese commendable duties. We are faith-ful in the strictest sense of our obligationsand our work stands unchallenged beforethe world. For we can see In the mellowtints of the rainbw that the Almightyblended in the heavens that principle whichgives to our order one of the gems In itscrown-faithfulness to a solemn promise."D(P you ask why we plead its cause?

Why women are associated in, this orderand what the nature of the compact Is?I answer it is relief for its members.-Whendistress has laid Its paralysing hand on a

sister; when the silver cord is loosening andthe golden bowl is breaking, when helplessand low she Is breathing out her life, thenwill this sisterhood shed its blessing aroundher, watch her and soften the tediousdreariness of her sick bed.'

"It is said that fraternity rests upon, thegood faith of Its membership.- We have inthe United States today 6,027 Rebekahlodges and a membership of 411,155. In theDistrict of Columbia there are four Re-bekah lodges, namely, Naomi, organizedSeptember 7, 1875; Ruth, organized Sep-tember 22, 1886; Martha Washington, or-

ganized March 4, 1890, and Dorcas. organ-ized October 17, 1898. What a pleasing re-

flection to behold such unparalleled successIn so short a time. What a mighty Aostwe now number."We are In the active, living present, en-

joying the labor of those who have toilednot in vain, -wearied not in well-doing. Maythe name and deeds of every true departedOdd Fellow and Rebekah remain green Inour memory, and when our life's toll 1sover may we meet them all In 1he OddFellows' home of glory."

for It to bol he fell asleep. It Inthat while he was asleep the gas

tb became disconnected and the escapinggas caused -his death.It was not until about 5 o'clock this morn-

Ing that Mrs. McAvoy became aware of herhusband's death. She then sent for friendsand later the coroner was 'called to'thehouse. The latter .found that death was

due tohyxiation and the-circunitancessatided that the affair was purelyaccidental..A- certificate of accidental death was-given and the body turned over to an un-

dertaker. The funeral will probably takeplace Friday morning. His wife and sev-eral children survive him.

Policemen Not Permitted to Suggest 1Releases on Personal Bonds. I

There were not many defendants In the IDistrict branch of the Police Court todayand three of them were released on their I

personal bonds. Maj. Sylvester has put a

stop to the practice of policemen arrestingpersons and surbsequently asking the courtto release them. It is the Idea of the super-intendent that If a person commits an of-fense for which he should be arrested, theofficer's duty ends when he has stated thefacts to the court.. It is for the court toprescribe the penalty. A number of per-sons were released yesterday on their bondsat the sugestion of the officers making thearrests and the officers were advised laterIn the day that they must refrain frommaking such suggestions In the future.
