OF the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fell
lows-The Big Parade.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 21.-The
first day of the twenty-second conclave
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, /. o. 0.
F.. opened with beavg mist envelop-
ing the city. The hot weather Of ehe
past week gave place to somewhat
cooler atmosphere, to the great de-
light OF the thousands OF Odd
Fellows who participated in the
parade this afternoon. The reception
committees were at the Union Depot
early this morning, and the large dele
cations arriving were promptly re-
ceiyed and escorted TO their assigned
Quarters In the most expeditions man
ner. II is estimated that over $4,000
Odd Fellows and their families are in
the city besides many other thousands
who have come simply as spectators OF
the pageant The streets presented q
lovely and animated spectacle. Every
where I'm all directions could be
seen the golden braided uniforms. and
the swaying OF purple plumes OF the
Cantons aud the regalias of the lodges.
nv one o'clock those who were 10 take
mart in the parade proceeded 70 their
assigned places from which they were
to drop into line. The points were the
streets crossing Lucas Place and east OF
Jefferson avenue. There was but little
delay, and shortly after 2 o'clock the
immense column began 70 move.
AS the procession moved along the
streets the manOuvers Of the various
Cantons were received with mnch en-
thusiasm, the patriarchs militant, with
Ljeutenant-General Underwood al their
head, receiving unstinted applause, as
did also Grand Canton Atkins, No. /, OF
Paducah, Kentucky. The Third d.
vision, under Brigadier General w. II.
Crocker and staff, made probably the
best showing ia the parade Their ma
neuyers were executed with the strictest
military precision and created fayora-
bic impression upon the multitude.
Yut tomorrow will decide which Can
ton is TO carry of the honors for the
hest military tactics, as the grand prize
drill is 20 come of at the Fair Grounds
In the afternoon.
Tonight the exposition doors were
opened to the Odd Fellows. and pub
lie reception was held in the music hall
OF the great building. The building
was packed 70 the doors and locomotIon
was next 70 impossible. The main fea-
ture Of the exercises at the exposition
was the comforting OF the decoration OF

senfati7es.

.PREsTEN VEREIN,"
The German-AmerIcsn Clerical Union In
Session at Buffalo, N. Y.

BUFFALO, n. Y, September 21.-Be-
hind closed doors this afternoon there
went into session in this city twelve
apostles of the much-talked OF "Presten
Verein," or German-American Clerical
Union. II was the first OF the series OF
meetings Of the Congress Of German
American Catholics. Vicar General
Won Muhlsiepen, Of ST. Louis, President
Of the Verein, called the meeting to or
der. The business was the scrutiny OF
documents, resolutions and motions
upon which there was an intention on
the part OF any one to bring up the pro-
ceedings of the various sections OF the
Congress.
Meanwhile generab attention cens
tered in the preparations for the torch
light parade announced for the evening,
aud in welcoming the successive waves
OF new arrivals. Among the distin-
gulshed guests was the well known
Bishop Wigger, of New Jersey, whose
attitude on the school question and sim
liar burning topics have frequently at
tracted wide attention. The liveliest
interest was manifested to what extent
Bishop Ryan, of Buffalo, would partlci-
pate in the Congress. His sudden dis
appearance from the public ceremonials
yesterday was attributed to illness and
that reason was the only one quoted In
this mornings papers.
Before the censorship meeting ended
the number within had greatly In
creased, aggregating several score. All
were priests and members OF the
clerical union. 1t is definitely known
that not all the papers passed upon
were allowed to reach further stage
than tho waste basket. One OF the
priests said that whatever appeared in
harmonious with the purposes OF the
Congress was excluded, and that the
priests determined to steer clear in the
public proceedings Of all aggressions
and accusations.

LYMAN TO BE REMOVED.
TX Congressman MoCOmas May Succeed
Him "a Civil Service COmmjssiOner.

Tx Congressman McComas May Succeed
Him "a Civil Service Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, September 21.-After
months OF hesitation, the President has
finally decided TO remove Charles
Lyman, the President Of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, and the announce
ment that he has resigned" will be
made as soon as his successor has been
selected. IL is reported here that ex-
Representative McC0maS is TO try
his skill a5 interpreting and enforcing
the civil service Chinese rules, but
this rumor is unfOunded, il Mr.. Nc
Comas is 10 be believed. He said day
or two ago, after calling on the Presi-
dent In the interest of ex-Representa-
tive Clements, of Georgia, for Inter
State Commerce Commissioner, that he
wanted no Office for himself and would
not accept one. They all say that, how
ever, and perhaps Mr.. McComas, like
the others, spoke only in Pickwickian
sense In denying that ne had ollicehold-
ing aspirations. Should he be chosen
as Mr.. Lyman'S successor ne would un-
doubtedly make n good Commissioner.
He possesses none of the PeckSniilin
Qualities OF the man about TO be re-
moved, but is, like Commissioner Roose-
velt, a fair, Opeu-handed fighter In
deed, Roosevelt and McComas are much
alike in many ways. They are manly,
aggressive and intelligent.
Lyman was appointed as supposed
Republican, and perhaps the fact that
he has since claimed 10 be without poll
tics is, in measure at least, responsible
for his discharge, although tue PreSl-
dent has probably not forgotten that
Lyman convicted Civil Service Com
mission clerk named Campbell-hiS own
brother-in-law-of pprlOinlng and sell
ing examination papers and then pro-
noting him. McCOmas prides himself
on being n radical Southern Republican.
1t is understood that the President
offered the CommisSiOnerShip to eX-
Representative Owen. of Indiana, now
Commissioner of immigration, ana that
he declined to accept it.

making a bitter speech in the

war record OF Cleveland and Harrison,
declaring that while Harrison was lead
ing his command to the front Cleveland
was playing "seven-up" in New York
saloon.
Hanback, has been in Ohio for about

least. His attorney secured continu-
