CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Society Of Sons
Of Pennsylvania, of this city, has just COM
pleted preparations for banquet and re-
union to be held at the Palmer House, Fri
day. the 23d instant. Nearly 900 invitations
have been sent out to former Pennsylvanians
residing in Chicago and vicinity. and the
responses indicate that the attendance will
be very large.
Distinguished citizens of the keystone
State have been asked to participate, and
several have signifed their intention of
being present, while others have responded
by sending checks running all the way
from S5 to S100, the aggregate amount of
which is SO large as to assure the success of
the banquet beyond doubt.
Avery Novel Display.
F. J. Patterson, who is chairman Of the
committee in charge of the banquet, re-
ported at meeting held last night that an
elaborate floral and electrical display would
be one of the features of the occasion. The
tables will be arranged in the form of an
arch, at one of which, forming the
keystone, the speakers of the evening
will be seated. The stones of the
arch will be outlined with flowers lighted
further provide for the enjoyment Of the
evening Hands superb orchestra has been
engaged.
1t was the intention to send committee
TO Pittsburg to secure the attendance of rep
resentative men of that city, but that detail
was left unproyided for until it was too
late, and the invitations have been sent by
mail instead. The projectors of the ban
quet have in view not only the enjoyment
of the evening, but also the formation Of
A Pennsylvania Club
in Chicago, at which Pennsylvania people
in Chicago shall get to know each other, and
which shall serve as a visiting place for
residents of that State while in Chicago. A
subscription paper has been started and
with very gratifying results, but the success
of the club is thus far by no means Ger
tain.
At recent meeting of the Sons of Penn
sylvania, the Pennsylvania Worlds Fair
Committee were elected to honorary mem
| bership, as were also Governor elect Patti
son and Governor Beaver. 1t is expected
that the entire committee will attend the
banquet Governor Beaver will also be
| present and possibly Governor-elect Patti
| son, if he can arrange to leave Harrisburg
| at that time.

| present organization of "Sons of Pennsyl
vania" are the names of many well-known
