der, discipline, and parliamentary rules.
Many of the best presiding officers in both
houses of Congress and in all our State leg
islatures have admitted that they acquired
their knowledge of how to conduct the pro-
ceedings of deliberate bodies while serving
in an Odd Fellows lodge.
The Lake Park has been turned over to
the Odd Fellows during their stay. 1t will
next be used by the managers of the great
Columbian Fair. 1t is to be hoped that the
present tenants, who are from almost every
State and Territory and the various prov
inces of Canada. will be, so well pleased
with the place that they will give a good
account of it when they return to their
homes, and that they will all come back in
1893 and 60 into camp again.

to the city by cantons and divisions from
every direction. AS usual there has been
trouble about railroad rates, and the arrival
of many of the cantons has been slightly
delayed thereby.
Nearly every train brought in uniformed
bodies of the order, and hundreds upon
hundreds of the members of the civil
branches. On the streets men in uniform
or men and women wearing Odd Fellow
badges were so numerous as to form large
part of the throngs that crowded The down
town district. Odd Fellows are here from
every part of the Union and from Canada.
LIEUTENANT General Underwood, the Grand
Sire of the order and the Commander of the
Patriarchs Militant, has impaired much of
his own enthusiasm to the order, and as
result this will be one of the largest gather
ings of any secret order ever held. He has
sent out over half a million letters and cir
culars relative to the cantOnment and has
otherwise advertised it in way to make
Barnum look to his laurels.
This gathering has no legislative powers
or functions. 1t is one purely for display
and to get representatives and members of
the order together that they may see how
big an organization they are Drills, pa
rades and contests of merits with adjuncts
of similar character are the principal
things on the programme. The contests in
the civil branches of the order began early
yesterday and will continue throughout the
week

A Man who Has the Grin.

Adjutant General Frost is one of the
most attractive figures at the cantonment,
and of course he is sne of the busiest and.
most important officers. General Frost is a.
Massachusetts man, but has not resided
there for years, as he has since 1885 devoted
all his time to the work of the Patriarchs;
Militant, which order he assisted in found,
ing. 1--WE began in Baltimore" he said,
''with thirty swords, and now we have
twenty brigades, sixty regiments and
five hundred cantons' General Frost.
is a most enthusiastic Patriarch, and
in his elaborate militant uniform
is decidedly picturesque. Though not a.:
tall man his cooked hat with it's way-
ing plumes makes him appear SO. He has
military carriage which is borne out by
brusque. commanding voice, and he utters
his commands to the thousands in q true
military air. At an earlier period the Cen
eral has had black hair and a large black
mustache, but these have changed from
black to gray, and the mustache is almost
white. He is well qualified for the positions
he holds in the patriarchs. He was, in the
war from start to finish, and carried from.
the second Bull Run field broken jaw. He
has been in active military life since 1859,
and yet the General is young man in APP
pearance.

General Underwood's Big job.

A few years ago the Importance and mag
nitude of the Odd Fellows order were not
adequately appreciated. Not many men
outside of the organization had any concep-
tion of the fact that it was and is the largest
civic order on the globe. The grand army
of 1,400. 00n members, EfIile distributed
throughout the length and breadth of this
continent and the British Isles, never made
their aggregate strength known to outsiders
and the order while yielding potent sway
over the minds of the brethren and eXercis~
ing great influence in all matters in an un-
seen and unfelt way, received no credit for
it by the world at large. These facts had
long lain dormant in many Odd Fellows
minds, but it was General John @. Under
wood, the present Grand Sire of the whole
order and the GeneralissimO Of its magnif-
cent military branch, who changed the
aspect of affairs.
He it was who, six years ago, organized
the body of militant patriarchs, and it is
chiefly due to his unceasing labors and to
his indefatigable zeal that this youngest
limb on the mighty tree of Odd Fellowship
has developed so famOusly, has grown and
f1ourished until now it alone presents
strength numerically greater than that of
many entire national organizations of a..
secret nature. He has brought about the

Although the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows originated in England it has at
tanned its great prominence in this country.
1t is the most popular of all our secret
societies. 1t is in full sympathy with our
institutions. Its growth has been remark
able. A town is no sooner started in
Territory than an Odd Fellows hall is
erected. There will always be mem
bers enough among the settlers to con-
stitute a lodge. This exerts a civilizing in
f1uence that is felt beyond its members.

present GT1ennial cantOnment of this body
militant of the order, and he it is to whom
the success of the whole gigantic undertake
ing will be due above all How enormous
a task General Underwood loaded on his
own shoulders can best be appreciated by
the members of the order The prepara-.
lions for the holding of the present con-
clave began six months ago. By his own
persistent and entirely unaided efforts
General Underwood began as a first pre-
liminary negotiations with the various
railroad companies whose lines point
to Chicago as their center. These
negotiations were so eminently successful
that saving of from $4,000 to $4,000 was
effected in rebates and reduced rates for
members of the order now in town or hasten
ing hither on wings of steam. The Generals
efforts, in fact, were phenOmenalIy effective.
This is best seen by the fact that he OBJ
tanned special rates so advantageous that
they are probably the lowest ever granted
by large railroads. From Boston and re-
turn the fare was reduced to $13-abOut
one-third the regular fare, and for return
tickets from New York and all other points
along the Atlantic seabOard the rate is only
SO. These prices, of course, only hold good
for organized bodies of Odd Fellows, but
even for individual tickets an allowance so
large was obtained that the fare was re-
duced to an average of less than One-haL.
Having thus fully covered the preliminarieS,
General Underwood came from his Ken
lucky home to Chicago and went into per-
manent headquarters on the ninth floor OF
the Pullman Building. That was two
months ago, and from that time on he has
worked and shaved all through the terribly

Hnistine the Flags.

The lake front all day was continual
scene of animation. At no time were there
less than several thousand people on the
ground. The magnificent view of the lake
afforded from the grand stand, as well as a
desire to see the drill and parade grounds,
brought visiting Odd Fellows and their
friends there throughout the day. The ex-
ercises on the lake front were the hosting
of the national, Canadian, and militant

About the Local Suits.
Secretary Scandrett returned from New York
smiling. The first words be said to even a rail-
road porter were: well, we've settled them"
This was a startler, because everybody knew
that Ward had been victorious. The very sem
sible secretary, however, said:
Nov we never thought we had a good claim
of damages until man like Judge O'Brien
said we had. Everybody in New York who
knows anything about law and baseball saws
that Judge O'Brien's decision means that while
there was no necessity for an injunction there
were ample reasons for damages when the case
was fully argued. Our great point that as to
the reserve rule, was admitted by Judge
O'Brien. That's all we want In trial we'll
soon prove what is wanting and would in this
instance had we thought that the evidence we
can give was necessary. Now we have claim
on every ball player who signed with us last
year and every man who assisted these men to
break their engagements with us. We will
certainly prosecute our claims, because Judge
O'BTien has already said that it is a case where
the League club can claim damages We in
tend, as far as / know. to sue at least Carroll.

ANOTHER HOLE IN THE GROUND.

Several More Houses sink In the Aban-
doned Anthra cite Mines.
wmKEsBARRE, January 3L-The bottom of
portion of the town Of Plains, about four
miles from here, dropped out to-day. and
with it three single houses and a double
block, causing CONSERVATION among the
tenants and excitement in the town.
The settling, it is thought, is not
yet at an end. For a week past premonitOry
signs of the cave-in have been noticed by expe-
rienced miners, and one of them made it his
business to wan the inhabitants of
these houses to keep low fires in
their stoves and make preparation
to take a drop down. They concerned
themselves but little, as cave-ins are of CON-
mon occurrence in this region, and while the
women of the warned houses were preparing
their MONDAY meal the earth began to settle,
and in few moments the houses were almost
standing on end,
The fires in the stoves were quickly extin-
guished. The danger now lies in an extension
of the cave-in, which is altogether probable
from present indications. A few feet from the
scene of the disaster and in direct line with 1t
is the cemetery, and fears are entertained
that this will yield to the pressure of the
squeeze. The earth Is working in that direc-
tiOn. The Catholic Church and parsonage that
were wrecked few weeks ago by cave-in are
within short distance of the scene. These
cave-ins are caused by the extraYagant robbing
of pillars in the mines.
