out the entire day. Inasmuch as each
delegate is instructed by the division he
is to represent to offer some resolution
presenting a change or amendment to
existing bylaws, which govern the de-
alterations of the entire brotherhood,
there is nearly always a great deal of
work laid out for this committee. Each
man must give his reasons for the alter
atoms he proposes, and as the resolu-
tons are necessarily taken up
seriatim and discussed, it can
readily be seen that when several
score are reported by the committee. a
lengthy and sometimes heated discus
sion often results. The convention will
unquestionably adjourn this afternoon,
and many OF the delegates will leave
for Chicago at 6:25 today. Others will
take the morning trains.

affair for an engineer. The company

a chance, for the benefit of the enter
tainment fund. Fifty-two tickets were
sold altogether, and the only man who

won the seat. He has it on exhibition

Joseph Polite is much easier in MIND
and body. The GLOBE was in error in
stating that he fell on the ball room
floor. He was dancing III a quadrille,
and suddenly II of the cords in his
left leg seemed to SNAP as though bro

not think there is serious trouble. He
