Addresses by. Leaders of

s A complimentary entertainment was
given last night IN the Auditorium in
-honor of the supreme council of the
|, Royal Arcanum, which is at pres ent IN
convention at Minneapolis. The dele
gates to the council set apart yesterday
/ for visit to st. Paul, and took the
SANITY City in full. force. They wera
tlshown the sights of the city, and in the
Etevening assembled Eat the Auditorium,
'(where they were greeted by the leading
citizens of st. Paul.
4 The delegates were brought to the
city by special cars over the interurban
line. which were sidetraekedin in front of
the Ryan hotel during their stay. There
were eight cars. each of which was ap-
propriately decorated with the insignia
of the Royal Arcanum.
The exercises at the Auditorium con-
sisted of speeches and music. The
musical programme, which was excel
lently arranged, was under the direction
of Prof. j. Lewis Browne, the organist
of Christ church, and consisted of nine
numbers. When the guests. nearly 800
in number, were assembled Ill
the Auditorium Mayor Wright
rose to deliver the address Of
welcome. He dwelt at some length
on the nature of the organization which
it was the pleasure of the people of st.
Paul TO honor, and extended hearty
welcome to the visitors. The cIty'S
gates were opened 10 admit them, he
said. and the people of st. Paul were
but too proud to fulfill the duties of
hosts for even day. And in behalf Of
the city, the mayor assured the visitors
of the warm hospitality that each and
every citizen of st. Paul was but too
pleased to extend.
A musical number followed the
mayors speech, after which Hon. II. Il.
c. Miller. supreme regent Of the Royal
Arcanum council, delivered an erudite
and entertaining address on what Is
tile Royal Arcanum?" He explained
the purpOrt of the organization and the
objects 1t hoped to effect. He outlined
in brief the history of the organization
in the past, and dwelt in eloqu ent
periods on what its future course was
destined to be.
Mr. Miller was followed by Henry
Goodwin on ''Fraternity." MIR. Good
win is the supreme guide OF the Or
ganization, and is one of the earliest
members. He touched on the fraternity
brought about by membership in the
Royal Arcanum, and dwelt at some
length OH the advantages that accrued
from the social relations that ensued.
"W Woman's Avocation in the Royal
Arcanum" was the topic which Prof.
George W. Bush, the founder of the
Bliss school of olOcution in Boston,
Mass, undertook to discuss and elab-
crate. MIR. Bush Is an eloquent speak
er, but it was not only the rOundness of
his periods, but as we'll the ideas he ad-
yanced which made his short talk inter-
esting to an unusual degree. Prof.
Bush thought that women certainly had
as much right as men TO band them
selves together in organizations for
the advancement of social as
we'll as other relations. and
thought that If men were benefited
by such relations, women would Ger
tainly be benefited as we'll. He thought
/ that magnificent field was opened for
women in the Royal Arcanum, the pre-
cepIs of which applied to them equally
and with as much force as they did to
rade the Royal Arcanum would number
among Its members as many women a.:
5 it did men.
The programme was concluded short
I ly after IL O'Clock. and was voted all ex-
cellent one i'll every respect. The visit

adieust and expressions OF wishes that
they would soon visit st. Paul again,
