A gentleman Of Boston.
Josiah was his name,
Decided that the sparrow
Was downright blooming shane,
So he organized an army
And he bravsly started out
To give the birds merry chase
And turn the rascals out.
It promised recreation
From the more important cares
OF helping people readjust
This world and its affairs.
But the birds thrive on In triumph
And they chuckle now and then;
They can't reform sparrow;
They had better stick to men,"

CONDITION MOST PROSPEROUS.

Detroit Mich, Sept 1S.-sovereign
grand officers, grand lodge and grand
ehcampment officials and various func-
tloharles of the Odd Fellows walked to
the opening session of the 18th annual
meeting of the order today through a
drenching rain. They were escorted
from headquarters, Hotel Cadillac. to
the Detroit Opera House, where public
reception exercises were held by the
military cantonments of the order
present in the city.
Grand Sire Pinkerton. in his animal
report, said: The evidence of the work

referring to the finances of the order.
Mr.. Plnkerton said: The great source
OF our financial life is the income de-
rived from the sale of supplies. It has
never been our policy to accumulate
money, neither has intentional extrav-
agance been INDUCED in, still as a rule
our expenditures exceed our revenues,
and continuance of such a condition
can have but one result. l don't be-

seeming remedy is reduction in the
sum paid for mileage"

and is aimed at the mileage paid repre-
sentatives to the Sovereign grand
lodge. At present 10 cents per mile is
allowed for delegates living east of the
Rocky Mountains. and II cents west.
1t orders the figures reduced to s and
10 cents respectively. A resolution is
pending from last years meeting, re-
ducing the mileage to Z and 8 cents.
Both these We're, after discussion, re-
ferred to the committee of seven, with
the request to report as soon as posi-
BILE. That the mileage allowance will
be reduced, is believed certain, for a
cut must be made in the expenses. A
resolution abolishing visiting cards"
was referred to the committee.
The visiting card is now necessary to
enable a member of one lodge to visit
another. 1t is proposed instead to
make the receipt for dues sufficient.
There will be no election of officers by
this council, since the terms of the
present incumbents of the Sovereign
grand chairs do not expire for another
year.

DER0ULEDE AMONG THEM.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-The senate met as a
high court of justice today at p. M,
for the purpose of trying % politicians,
including NM. De Monicourt, Derou-
lede, Marcel Habert, Thiebaud. Baron
oe Vaux and Jules Guerin, on the
charge of conspiring against the gov
crnment.
Not one of the accused was present
or il the palace today, but nine cells
have been fitted up for them in the Ii
brary. They are comfortably furnished.
President Falleres opened the pro-
ceedings amid general silence by read
ing the decree of the president of the
republic constituting the senate on the
report of the minister of justice into d
high court.
The indictment recited the charges
against NJ. Deroulede and M. Habert
and said the inquiry had shown the ex-
istence of a conspiracy to change the
form of government, to which the dis
orders of last February, it was added
were due, and in which MN. Deroulede,
Habert and some members of the
League of Patriots, M. Guerin and some
members of the Anti-Semitic League,
M. Du Buc and some members of the
Society of Anti-Semitics, MN. Buffet
Godeseroy and Chevilly, and members
of the royalist party were inculpated.
The Anti-Semitic League it was as
serted, had Joined the insurrectionary
organization wherewith were associated
the nationalists, royalists and imperial

had as mission the propagation in
the provinces of the revolutionary
movement.

was prepared to carry out the royalist
plan that day, but M. Deroulede's plans
failed, and the Duke of Orleans, who
was waiting at Brussels, the signal to
come to Paris, received, instead. a
telegram from NJ. Buffet, saying:
Useless to come; send you further
news tomorrow
Several papers today revived the ru-
NOR that the Duke of Orleans is shut
up in NJ Guerin's fort Chabrol the
headquarters of the anti-Semite league,
which has been besieged since Aug. 70.
No definite statement was made to this
effect, and the papers merely limited
that it might be true, basing their idea
on the statement that the Duke of Or
leans has not been heard from for over
a month. The same rumor on a pre-
vious occasion was utterly discredited.
AS matter of fact the Duke of Or
leans has been heard of several times.
The Due de Luynes, according to his
intimate friends, said Aug, 80 that the
Duke of Orleans was in Austria. The
silence of the royalist pretender at this
stage is not surprising and is not tax
en- to be any ground for suspicioning
him to be with NJ Guerin.

Bates Men Says the Guild Talk Is
Largely Bluff.
The prediction made Saturday by
Frank L. Dean regarding the outcome
of the Guild-Bates contest in Worcester
stirred the Bates men to the core, and
leaders of the movement were around
yesterday refuting the statement.
Hon. E. B. Crane, who is at the head
of the Bates faction, sale yesterday that
the Guild claim is pure bluff and cannot
be borne out by facts. On the other
hand Mr.. Crane feels confident of car
rying the city for his candidate.
Ward 8, which has been considered
doubtful heretofore, is now claimed by
the Guild men. At meeting last week
of 40 leading men in the ward, which
was called for another purpose, by the
way, an informal vote was taken to
determine the sentiment of the meeting
on the lieutenant governorshipqu question.
A show of hands developed the fact
that there was not a Bates man in the
gathering.
However this may be, neither side is
allowing itself to become the victim of
over confidence, and hard work will be
kept up until the III ght of the caucuses.
The claim Is made that the Armenian
vote will be solid for Bates, although
the 100 or more voters uf this national
ity are liable to have a diversity of
IDEAS The vote of colored men is con-
coded to Guild in a majority of cases.
