Nearly 10000 Visitors in Chicago-.-Com-
potitive Drill Begun.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-About fifty thou
sand visitors, including ladies, have so
far arrived in the city to participate in
the Odd Fellows cantonment. Nearly
all the preliminaries for the great pro-
gramme are completed, so Gen. Under
wood and his assistants are able to de-
vote themselves to the pleasant duty of
receiving friends and renewing old ac-
quaintances made ut Los Angeles two
years ago. Every train coming in
brought one or more cantons, each num-
bering from SO to $50 men, exclusive of
officers, and every department com-
mander and staff officer is now on the
ground, the last having arrived in COM
pany with the Ohio cantons. AT 2 p. Ill.
the crack cantons classed as A in the
competition schedule began their prize
work in the enclosure opposite the audi
forum. Glass A is composed of prize
winners in former contests, and they
did some excellent work.
Tho Dress Parade.
The dress parade was late in forming
owing to the delay caused by the prize
drill that preceded it. Cantons of uni
formed patriachs took part. The move
ments were gone through with clock
work-like precision and the sight was
an inspiring one. Sightseers in great
numbers occupied not only the grand
stand in Lake Front park, but the
Michigan avenu boulevard sidewalks,
the steps, balconies and roofs of dwell
ings and hotels in the vicinity, and
every point where a view of the impos-
ing proceedings could be obtained.
In the evening took place the grand
civic and military reception by the gen
eraliSsimo in the parlors of the Audito-
rum. Gen. Underwood and staff did
the honors. 1t was the most brilliant
reception ever given by the organiza-
ton.

i'll the afternoon, the prizes to be divided
among, the %cantons participating. After

and an exhibition drill by the Chicago
Zouaves there was a recess in the pro-
gramme.
In the evening about 5000 people
gathered on the lake front to witness
the comforting Of the degree Of chivalry

Harrison q Convert to the socretary's
Reciprocity ideas.
New YORK, Aug. GA dispatch to
The World from Cape May says: Blaine
has won. President Harrison has been
generally convinced of the practical
wisdom of his chiefs reciprocity pro-
gramme, and is preparing a message on
the subject.
This Is Different.
CAPE MAY, N. j., Aug. THE recent
visit of Mr.. Blaine to the president at
Cape May Point was not altogether of a
social nature. There wal a prolonged
conference on the seal fisheries question
and reciprocity. It is said there were
radical differences Of opinion reported
on the reciprocity question, and instead
of Mr.. Blaine being won ove to the pres
ident, he is further from him than be-
fore the Cape May meeting. There
seems to be small chance of concession
enough on either side to formulate any
administration policy.
Mr.. Blaine is reported on good author
ity as maintaining the doctrine that the
claims Of the government to regard
Behring sea as a closed water, like the
Delaware or Chesapeake bay, cannot be
successfully accomplished, and that the
president claims It as United States
property, acquired by treaty and pur-
chase, andmust be held at all hazards.
Mr.. Blaine being the guest of the presi-
dent did not press his views, but will at
future cabinet councils OF the subject.

run up to its highest speed, and again
and again the full current of 1000 volts
was sent through the body in the chair.
AS the anxious group stood silently
watching the body, suddenly there
arose from it a white vapor, bearing
with it a pungent and sickening odor.
The body was burning. Again there
were cries to stop the current, and
again the warden sprang to the door
and gave the quick order to his assist
ants. The current stopped and again
there was the relaxation of the body.
No doubt that this time the current had
done its work-if not well, at least com.

when does society take cognizance
OF the fact that married women are ac-

their husbands. l don't mean by Cos

eating in some positive social way their

ness to recognize anything OF the kind
until the husband does. So long as .
husband expresses no disapprobation
OF what his wife is doing. her conduct
Is regarded as something with which
nobody else has any concern"
The rule here formulated by Mr.. Nc
Allister is the one generally recognized,
and has been expressed in various
ways at other times by women who
are high in social position; but.
as matter OF fact, it is a rule so lib
eral that society only adheres TO it In q
modified form. Numbers of society
women in New York, who possess such
hampering adjuncts as husbands and
children. and who nave accepted senti-
mental attentions from admirers, have
found that the kindness OF their hus-
bands did nos protect them in social
