Strong Proof of Prosperity.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.,, Septem Der 2l.-
An object lesson of the fact that im-
proved conditions are prevailing in the
industrial world is afforded in the an
nual report submitted to the Sover-
eign Grand Lodge by the Mutual In
demnity association, one of the largest
of the few insurance bodies licensed by
provision for the widows and orphans
of deceased members. The returns
made by President aud General S. A.
Miller of Chicago and J. B. Freidheim
of Camden, Arkansas, chairman of the
board of directors, shows that the as
soc; alton is operating in twenty-five
states by virtue of the license
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge and
subordinate Jurisdictions, and has
in force certificates repre-
senting over six million dollars of in-
surance. During the first six month S
of the present year nearly twelve
hundred new certificates were iesued,
a million and half dol
lars of insurance, being the largest in
crease in membership for similar
period in the history of the organiza-
tion, while for the month of August
the new certificates aggregated nearly
three hundred. As the certificate
holders are in the main composed of
wage workers or professional men OF
moderate incomes the remarkable in-
crease so far during the year is regard
ed ss a significant sign of the times, es-
peciaily as the organization operates
on the natural premium system instead
of the assessment basis.

That UItimatum.

LONDON, September 21.-The story
is printed in the Paris Temps that
General WoodfOrd had served an ulti-
matum upon Spain is not accepted by
diplomats and others here who saw
General WOodford when he was in
London, and who have recent advices
from Madrid. which are more amicable
than those to Paris newspapers. Facts
of the interview between General
Woodford and the Duke of Tetuan are
that beyond the usual greetings Gene
raj Woodford went no further than to
say that the United States, as friend
ly nation. and as one practically inter-
ested in West Indian affairs, desires

The Sovereign Grand Lodge.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, September 21.-
Business and pleasure we're com bined
by the Odd Fellows today. The inter-
national Sovereign Grand Lodge, now
in seventy-third annual communication
devoted the morning to business .ses-
sion, ad djourning shortly afternoon to
take part in the annual parade. A
large number of decisions made during
the year upon questiors at issue were
reported by the Grand Sire. The sta
tistical reports show that the member
ship exceeds a round million, while
that of the Daughters of Rebekah is in
the neighborhood of 300, ,OOO These
figures include the Independent grand
lodges in the German empire, Austria
liza, Denmark and Sweden, all of which
are subject to the jurisdiction of the
Sover eign Graud Lodge. The financial
reports show that in this
particular the order is in an eminently
satisfactory condition. The annual
parade, which moved at o'clock, was
q brilliant affair. Lodges from all
parts of the state were in line, and the
division assigned to the Patriarchs
Militant gave a military aspect to the
column. The streets along the line of
march were crow ded aud the martial
step and bearing Of the Odd Fellows
was recognized with cheering which
ran from block to block. After the
parade had disbanded the prize drills
of the Patriarchs Militant opened at
the state fair grounds. This evening
the annual reunion of the past grand
representatives will take place in the
first Methodist church, when there will
be addresses by w. G. Nye, of Mime
sofa, Lucius S. Fuller, of Connecticut
and Stillwell II. Russell, of Texas.

The Opera.

The Columbia Opera company are
now playing the current week in San
Antonio. Their performance of Fra
Diavolo Saturday night was satisfactory
both in singing and from a dramatic
stand point. There is genuine satisfac-
tion in listening to a good ensemble; q
fact illustrated by the experience here
OF the Grau Opera company as well ss
the Columbia company. OF course
great stars are real nice luminaries to
listen to and look at. But the equally
great cost Of maintenance uecessitates
decided whittling down of expenses
with the chorus, and Metropolitan
opera house experience in New York
has demonstrated that $1,000 to $500
per night stars backed by fish horn
chorus will always cause dissatisfaction.
Good all-rOund singing is what is de-.
manded, and it is evident that travel.
ing troupes are having that in mind.
Miss Balch, the prima donna was q
special favorite Saturday night, and
hearts of her audience. The other
singers all did we'll. and the interpola-
ton of the sextet from Lucia, one of
the most beautiful pieces of concerto
melody ever written, was deservedly
well received. An encore might readi-
ly have been responded to, but it was
evident that Miss Balch was not feel
ing sufficiently strong to make the at
tempt.
The finale where the shooting comes
in was made farce by the appearance
on the stage of the bird dog belonging
to the local manager of the theatre.
The dog, true to its nature, chased and
trashed around the stage to the disgust
Of both audience and performers. Why
this dog should be allowed to roam at

great deal of grumbling, and Lessee
Walker will be complained to, If he has
not heard of the matter already. There
were three dogs in the house Saturday
night rushing around among the seats,
and theatre goers are wondering how
much longer this sort of thing ia to be
kept up. Under previous manage
ments no dog was allowed in the
house.
A number of people in the audience
we're wishing that the orchestra had
been larger, especially in the Bohe-
mian Girl and Fra Diavolo. Twelve or
fifteen men would have been the pro-
per figure.

many establishments to the active list.
The cOalminers' strike has disclosed
such facts and brought to light such
differences that work will probably be
very soon resumed by large share of
the men. The farmers are helped by
higher prices for wheat, and, while
western receipts do not show that they
have marketed q tenth of their crop, as
surance of handsome profits to come
prepares them TO buy literally hereaf-
ter. Because of this and the Increase of
hands at work dealers throughout the
country have started to replenish

knowledge that half q dozen other fur
nances are preparing to resume, and
that unsold stocks have been reduced
Ia, 40 tons weekly in August, indicat-
ing a consumption of about 1900
tons, more than explains the moderate
advance in prices of finished products,
averaging but per cent. since the
lowest point, August II. Wheat has
risen cents the past week, not in q
furry, but in answer to the daily in
creasing foreign demand. Though re-
ports of the crop now almost wholly
out of danger Indicate q yield never

still strengthen the belief that the de-
