THE REID MDN.
Judge Cleveland Says That the Council
Was Very Successful.

Judge A. A. Clevsland. who has just re-
turned from the great council OF the
United States Of the Improved Order OF
Red Men. which recently met in Provl-
dence, r. L. says that the gathering was
one OF the most harmonious that ever
met together. They were in session for
four days and transacted large amount
OF routine business. The affairs of the
order were found to be in a very flour
ishing condition, with a notable increase
of membership during the past year.
The next great Suns session will be
held the second Tuesday in September in
Minneapolis. MINI. AT this session 1t is
expected that new ritual will be
adopted. One OF the most important mat
ters which will then be considered Is the
proposed amendment to the constitution
barring retail liquor dealers from mem
bership in the association.
After this convention all of the visit
ing members were most royalty enter
talned and all left Providence with a
lasting impression of her hospitality. The
judge states that among the other enter
tainments was monster cam bake given
on the beach,. 10 miles below Newport,
drive on the famous ten-mile boule-
ward at Newport, when each carriage
was provided with a guide who pointed
out the places Of interest and the man.
sions of the rich, there being no novels
of the poor to be seen.
Judge Cleveland made the trip both
ways over the Northern Pacific and is
loud in his praises OF our transcontin-
entail roads. Next year the X. of P.'s as
wei as the Red Men meet in Minneapolis
and the Northern Pacific has arranged
to take care OF the crowds.
