Many of the Higher Ohicials, Including All
Officers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
%. o. F., in Detroit, Mich.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1S.-The Off
cials and the rank and file of American
odd fellowship who have thus far ar
rived in the city passed quiet Sun
day preliminary to the opening of the

some 400 of the higher officials, in
GLIDING all the officers of the Sovereign
grand lodge, delegates to the grand
lodge sessions, state grand lodge Off
GERS, grand encampment officers, and
officers of the Rebekah branch. Be
sides these about 1000 of the rank and
file have thus far arrived from various
states.
Religious services were held Sunday
in the First Congregational church.
The central portion of the church au-
ditorium was reserved for odd fellows
and their ladies, several hundred of
whom arrived from headquarters by
special trolley train. Rev. Nehemiah
BOynton, D. D., pastor of the church,
preached upon brotherhood" The
speaker defined the various relations
of brotherhood, inclusive, first, of fam
ily relationship; secondly, of partic.
ular class; and finally, the enlarged
idea of brotherhood as exemplified by
Jesus Christ, who brought brotherhood
up to its full realization, all men to
Him being brethren irrespective of res
idence, religion, color, or other cir
cumstances.
Jesus" said the speaker, '1ooIed
beneath mems varied defects, and
found therein his brother, man, for
whom he offered his very life. You
can only carry true brotherhood into
the world in proportion as the essence of
brotherhood which exists in your own
eouls. 1t is not enough for you to send
your check from your lodge to the ply
sician and the undertaken. 1t is more
in the open palm behind which throbs
the sympathetic heart Take away your
| inspiration and the real brotherliness
of your order will fail. Your institu-
ton is IS years old, but it's inspiration
was born 1900 years ago with the in
FAINT who has since been the worlds
affection"
DR.. Boynton declared that the as
surfing feature of what he termed the
'.Dreyfus. outrage" lay in the numer-
Gus protests against the verdict, which
showed that the principle and spirit OF
brotherhood is nowadays finding an
Interpretation hitherto unequalled.
| Work progressed all day on the
great welcoming arch which will span
Woodward avenue. The hotels have
been crowded since early Sunday
morning with incoming odd fellows.
Monday the sovereign grand lodge
will be formally welcomed in the De.
troit opera house by Gov. Pingree and

reunion of the past grand representa-
Ewes and members of the sover.
eign grand lodge. Wednesday the

ough OF Manhattan, and hence influential
throughout the entire city. has been formu-
lated by the President OF the Republican
County Committee, Mr.. LEMuEL f. QUIGG,
the personal representative OF tho Hon.
THOMAS c. PLAT. II is startling indeed.
Briefly. II is that when IL comes to cleo
ton time in this great constituency the
Republican flag must be furled and ban

Republican quartering, be raised instead.
The effort to resist Tammany, the most
intensely partisan organization known. by

ing organization. Is practically to go out
OF business.
The remedy for the situation suggests
itself from the politically vacuous PROPOSE

to give to Republicanism in New
York the character that attracts votes
instead OF repelling them, and so enable II
to hold its head as high hero as II holds it
in the country as whole.
The idea that in this, the commercial

There has been for some time great
friction between people OF some part OF Brook
lyn and the company that controls practically
all tho elevated and surface railway lines In tho
borough. Residents OF the territory which. in
a general way. is comprised under the names
OF New Utrecht and Gravcsend complain that
a body blow has been dealt their district by tho
company's refusal any longer. or at least in
the fall and winter season, to run through
surface cars from the limits OF that territory
over the Bridge and It's com polling people who
desire to travel the distance named In either
direction to change from the surface cars to
the elevated road or vice versa at Slxty-Hfth
street and Thlrty-seventh street. for this
change q transfer ticket being given.
Tho real reason for the change. according TO
the railroad people. ia that a general policy
has become necessary OF promoting long
distance travel by the elevated roads, leaving
the surface roads to accommodate tho short
distance travel. Despite the fact that new and
larger cars and new lines for surface travel
have been increased they cannot accommo-
date the numbers who desire to use them. and
the result 10 a congestion OF traffic over the
Bridge and in the city Of Brooklyn proper.
The Gravcsend people must be provided for.
OF course. but II Ia certain that while the
Bridge can easily accommodate more trains
drawn by cable every means Of diminishing
the trolley cars there will be welcomed by the
public at large.
