1era of the Order All
Over tbe .Country
The sovereign grand lodge of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows held Its
eighty-ninth annual communication in
the city of Minneapolis last week.
,The week was begun with "a public re
ception Monday morning. Immediately
after, this meeting the sovereign grand
lodge began Its session with a full at
tendance of representatives, C. A. Kellar,
grand sire of Texas, presiding. .The Pat
riarchs Militants met In Andrews hotel
with Generaf A. R. Stocker presiding.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows
iiomayissociauon mei in raiernny nan
and the Association of Grand Secretaries
and Grand Scribes met In Odd Fellows'
hall.
In his report concerning the condition
of tha order Grand Sire Kellar said to
the crand lodge:
"I congratulate you upon the' excellent
condition of the order throughout the
world. We meet under the best condi
tions In this,, the, eighty-ninth annual
meeting of the sovereign body. We have
a larger membership than ever before,
our financial strength Is greater and In
most branches we find unexampled zeal
and energy being applied dally to the en
nobling work of our great organization
S for the uplift of mankind and the ex
tension of our benevolent and fraternal
''purposes." x ,
Important &ea-lalatldn Decided.
The most important legislation enacted
by,the sovereign grand lodge at this
cession was the adoption of a plan to
decide all vital questions by a referen-
. dum voter For more than a quarter of
a century this-body has been the court
of highest resort in the order. It Is ex-"
pected that the question of reducing the
age limit for entrance into the order will
b one of the first- to be decided by this
method.
After much discussion the proposition
v to make the minimum admission aged 18,
instead of 21 .years, was referred to the
next session by a vote of 123 to 82. For
.- the last few years the proposition for
the reduction of. the age limit has been
presented -at every meeting of the sov
ereign grand lodge, only to be turned
down regularly.
Hopes of the women belonging to the
tRebekahs of obtaining the consent of the
sovereign grand lodge at this .session for
the creation of a Rebekah national as
sembly were disappointed when, the.
grand lodge declared against the propo
sition by Indefinitely postponing the en
tire proposition.
The sovereign grand lodge- enacted
legislation that will prevent past grand
masters from voting. The resolution
adopted will allow the grand lodges to
deprive their past grand masters from
' that privilege.
The PatrlachB Militant.
The military council of the Patriarchs
Militant .revised the code and the ritual
' of its branch of the order and adjourned
on Wednesday afternoon. One important
? change adopted was that hereafter the
decoration tof, chivalry will be given to
only one metriber for every 100 members
; or majority fraction thereof .In each can
J ton. Other changes had to do with de
' tails of the uniform.
The Patriarchs Militant degree was con
z ferred upon a number of ' patriarchs
Thursday afternoon. Major C M. Coffin -m
of Omaha was one of those upon whom
the degree was conferred.
A grand military ball was held op
Tuesday evening at the Armory, under
the auspices of the Minnesota department
of the Patriarch's Militant, which was
- attended by over 3.000 members, fhe
. . Patriarchs all apepared in full dress
uniform, giving tho affair an imposing
appearance.

After a spirited contest Atlantlo City,
N. X, was selected as the meeting place
for the 1914 session. The California dele
gation commenced operations at this ses
sion for securing the location of the 1915
session at San Francisco.

Oldest Mail Carrier is
Celebrating Birthday Today
J. II. Tlbbens, aged 73 years, the oldest
employe at. the Omaha post office cele
brates his fortieth year as letter carrier
today. It was on September S3 1873, that
Mr. Tlbbens carried" his first Utter out
of tho local post office and his fellow' em
ployes this morning will present him with
a Jewelled star in recognition of his ser
vices. Five years ago today Mr. Tlbbens was
presented with a gold star by his fellow
employes and never Is there a daygoea
by when the old carrier does not wear
this star.
When Mr. Tlbbens entered the service.
there were but four carriers on tho force.
The only man hurvlvtng him who was
then a carrier Is Judge William Altstadt
Tlbbens is the only letter carrier on the
force now who was then carrying letters.
Casper K. Yost, president of the Nebraska
Telephone company, was postmaster when
Mr. Tlbbens entered the esrvlce and Bam
Archer was assistant postmaster.
Mr. Tlbbens was born at Leer,. Hanover,
Germany, on January 8, 1S40. He attended
the public schools of Germany and came
to the United States in 1858 and teamed
the trade of. cabinet maker. When Presi
dent Lincoln called for volunteers at the
opening of the civil war, Mr. Tlbbens
dropped hlswork aqd enlisted with Com
pany E, First Missouri Engineers. He
remained In the army until the, war
ended. During his service in the 'army
Mr. Tlbbens fought In such battles as
Shllob, Chattanooga and Chlckamauga.
He also marched with Sherman In his
famous march from, Atlanta to the sea.
In 1S66 Mr. Tlbbens came to Omaha and
resumed his work as a cabinet maker.
Seven years later he entered the service
of Uncle Sam as a letter carrier. His
first rdute was from the 'Metropolitan
hotel at Twelfth and Douglas streets to
Brownel Hall, then located at Seventeenth
and Jackson streets. Since then he has
been on every route In the city, until
lately, when the new routes were estab
lished. At tho present time Mr. Tlbbens has
men in lino and It took two hours for the
parado to pass a given point. There were
1,000 men clothed in the glittering uni
form of the Patriarchs Militant, and ail
.of those In, the line of march were
clothed In tho regalia of the order. There
were also many floats In the parade and
the Rebekahs rode In automobiles. At
somo points of the town the streets were
so densely crowded that the panders
could scarcely get through and the
countermarching movements wer found
to bo Impossible of execution.
The cost of maintenance of the homes
of the order Is $700,000 per year, in which
there are 4,000 guests. There have been
admitted Into the homes of the order
since their opening 9,000 guests and the
present value of tho property .Is over
$5,000,000. v ' .
Figures were cited - to show that Oad
Fellowship , has since its origin relieved
4,000,000 members and 350,000 families at a
total cost of $120,000,000. It has a mem
bership today of nearly 2,250,000 and Us
Invested funds amount t6. $70,000,000.
