An exceedingly pleasant incident &C.
CURED during the day. Past High
Chief Ranger p. j. Cahill was given a
magnificent gold watch and chain. 1t
was inscribed on the iDsiue OF the cover
rs follows:
Testimonial presented by the Eleventh
Annual Convention G. y. F.. United
states and Canada, to P. J. Cahill Past
H. G.. r.. as token of their esteem, ::
June s, 1894.
On the back cover was an elk in
raised medallion form of old Mexican
gold, and score Of small diamonds set
in platinum. On the front cover ap-
peared the letter &c" in beautiful de-
sign. The watch movement is of the
finest Swiss manufacture. A heavy
blOck.linked solid gold chain was at
tached to the watch, and from it hung a
handsome charm in the Shape Of Nal
teSe cross, having on one side All elk
on cross. the emblem of the order,
and on the other star of the East set
with one very large diamond. 1t is al
together one OF the finest presentation
watches ever seen in the West.
Past Chief Cahill is Chicagoan, hav-
ing been high chief ranger from 1880 to
1892. For twenty years he was Oh the
staff of the Chicago Tribune.
About II a. m. yesterday Mayor
Smith came to the hall and addressed
the convention briefly stating the pleas.
ure the city of st. Paul felt in their
presence here in convention. He was
warmly applauded and thanked. Some
littls discussion was had during the
morning as to the number of members
which should entitle to representation
in the annual conventions under the
the matter to rest as outlined by Chief
Schubert, giving one delegate to each
500 of membership.
A comparatively new feature of the
order is the Uniform Rank" which
possesses fine organization and ap.
pears in brilliant uniform. The first
commandery was organized by Capt. j.
Z. Cremer. in st. Michael's parish, Chi
cago, in lSSS, known as the Yaeger Bat
TALON No. l. of Chicago. Capt. Cremer,
from the start, has always been heart
and soul for the Uniform Rank, and
has done much to make it what it is to-
day. There are now about fifteen COLI
manderles existing in the order, all in
good condition. and it is expected that
in short time this number will be
more than doubled. There is nothing
that will attract more attention, and do
more to gain members for the order,
than uniform rank we'll drilled.a and to
Capt. Cremer belongs the honor of hav
ing the best drilled cOmpanyin the order.
This is the feeling among almost all
the delegates present, aud the picture
here given of Col. Cremer shows the
handsome cOuntenance of the founder
and the fine uniform to advantage. The
motto of the Communicates, as of the
whole order. is well illustrated in the
following lines, which appear Oh the
title page Of the official reports:
We live in DEEDS. not years; thoughts. not
breaths;
III feelings. not in figures on dial.
We SHOULD count time by heart-lhrobs. He
most lives
Who thinks most. feels the fnoblest, acts the
best.

The scene in the hall at this morn
ing was inspiring. A knot Of .musically
Inclined delegates gathered in the cen
ter of the hall and sang grandiy 1iod
Save the Queen" "ColdThbia.' and
other patriotic songs. This was done
while they were waiting for ballots to be
counted. 1t took many hard knocks
with the gavel to get them to stop.
At the time of going to press the trus-
tees and place of holding the next con-
vention were being yoteu for.
