few years ago the Importance and mag

adequately appreciated Not many men
outside OF the organization had any concep-
tion OF the fact that IL was and is the largest
civic order on the globe. The grand army
OF !. 100000 members, while distributed
throughout the length and breadth OF this
continent and the British Isles, never made
their aggregate strength known 10 outsiders,
and the order while yielding potent sway
over the minds OF the brethren and exercis-

long lain dormant in many Odd Fellows
minds but il was General John c. Under

order and the Generalissimo OF its magnih-
cent military branch, who changed the
aspect of affairs.
He IL was who, six years ago, organized
the body OF militant patriarchs, and IL Is
chiefly due 10 his unceasing labors and 10
his indefatigable zeal that this youngest

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

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 10 form large

every part OF the Union and from Canada.
Lieutenant General Underwood, the Grand
Sire OF the order and the Commander OF the

his own enthusiasm 20 the order, and as a
result this will be one OF the largest gather

otherwise advertised il in a way 10 make

the success Of the whole gigantic undertake
a task General Underwood loaded on his
own shoulders can best be appreciated by
the members OF the order The prepara-
tions for the holding OF the present con-
clave began six months ago. BY his own
persistent and entirely unaided efforts
General Underwood began as first pre-
liminary negotiations with the various
railroad companies whose lines point
10 Chicago as their center. These
negotiations were so eminently successful
that a saving OF from $4,000 10 SIS, 900 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 phenomenally 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 S13-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
$40. 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 10 an average of less than one-half.
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
