President Mckinley and TO show his
friendship for the United States. The final
answer Mr. Clayton said. will be made

AFFORDED the Mexican president great sat

ZOO people in Light Guard Armory this
afternoon, Major-General ]. r. EIlicott,
OF Chicago. conferred the Grand Decora-
ton Of Chivalry, the highest step in ODD
Fellowship upon nine candidates. The
armory was beautifully decorated with
palms, flags and bunting. Two cantons
OF Patriarchs Militant assisted In the i'm
pressive ceremony, which required two
hours TO complete.
Under an arch OF swords, the candidates
marched the length OF the armory to
where General Ellicott stood. prepared TO
give them their oaths. When the candi-
dates had repeated their obligations and
knelt beside a Bible and sworn to uphold
them. a cleaning sword was laid on the
shoulder OF each and he was presented
with the badge Of Chivalry.
The prize drill of the Patriarchs Mill
tant, held on the Detroit athletic field.
furnished the other feature OF the day.
The drills took place under favorable
weather conditions before a large number
OF spectators. Each OF the classes was
Wen filled with entries and some re-
markedly fine drilling was seen. The
Captain OF Munich, Ind, class IA team
inadvertently omitted several OF the move
