grand council OF Texas, United CONNER

Gil No. 61 the host of the occasion, would
be pleased If you would announce through
the columns of your travelling mems de-
partment that they expect every member
of the United Commercial Travellers in
the State to be present on that occasion
and join them in the festivities which will
be in vogue then. The committees APP
pointed by the council have arranged to
provide their visitors with the warmest
time they have ever experienced. The
hospitality OF the San Antonio boys has
been tried on several occasions and has
not been found wanting, and the mem
bers of the United Commercial Travel

up the rep" of the old town, where every
one can do as he pleases so long as he
doesn't interfere with the rights and pleas
ures of others.
No. 81 is preparing to entertain 500 dele
gates and visitors and has a reserve fund
on hand to extend the entertainment TO
twice that number II they will honor us
with their presence.
On San Jacinto Day the annual grand
flower fete will be held and the United
Commercial Travellers boys must come eX-
pecting to take very important position
in the parade. The managers of the flower
fete are expecting several thousand visitors
on that day, but if the United CONNER

Mr.. B. X. James or james Dechman hotel

of them. 1t is requested that all members
who have caps will bring them along. Very

TRAVELLING MEMS DAY.
Let the Rival Organizations Unite
at the Dallas Fair,


The following correspondence is self
explanatory and will be read with interest
by travelling men of Texas:
A. f. Dechman, Esq, Grand Counselor II
G. T., Dallas, Texas.
Fort Worth, Texas, March 21.-Mv Dear
Sir and Brother: Some months ago [
wrote you letter for the press entitled
a Plea for Unity" in which | urged the
Importance of all travelling men (rre-
spectiye of socleties) TO unite in having
one grand Travelling Mems Day" at the
Dallas State fair in October next Seeing
OF late in the columns of the Texas papers
some illusions to a special day for the
United Commercial Travellers at the fair
for this year, | take this opportunity to
officially ask in behalf of the Travellers
Protective Association that you. as the
head of the United Commercial Travellers
in this State. take the matter up of hay-
ing one day only for our festivities. or
course, the preceding night OF this day,
as well as the succeeding night may be
devoted TO whatever amusement or fes-
tivities that either organization may deem
suitable in their respective wishes We
all recall the lively rivalry that existed
last fall. when each society was advocat-
ing It's distinctive day, and we also know
what snap 1t was to the fair manage
ment to have such lot of rustlers aid in
the material advancement of the fairs
success True. we had a deal OF fun over
these respective occasions, but from con-
versations that l have had with many
members of both orders since, the con-
sensus OF opinion is that we put aside
strife this year. and work individually
and collectively for a grand united day OF
travelling men. and thus show the citizens
of our great State what power we are in
unity. Yours fraternally.
Howard w. Peak,
President Texas Division. Travellers Pro-
tective Association OF America.
II. w. Peak. Fort Worth. Texas.
Dallas. Texas, March 25.-Desr Sir and
Brother: Yours of 21st to hand and care
fully noted. and beg to advise that am
in full accord with your sentiments, and
individually am doing everything pos
sible on the line you suggest and, in fact.
know every officer of the grand council
is doing the same, and believe this matter
will be freely discussed at our annual
meeting In San Antonio.
Next month my term OF office expires at
our next meeting, and Mr.. e. B. Mitchell
will be my successor, and hope your sue
cessor will take the matter up and carry
through the idea you suggest. Fraternally
yours, a. #. Dechman,
Grand Counsellor U. G. I.

PARIS. Sept. 19.--lhc senate met as
a high court Of justice Yesterday for
the purpose Of trying twenty-five pol
itic,ans. including Guerin, Der,oui-
court, Deronlede, Thiebaud and Baron
de Vaux. on the charge of conspiring
against the government. After read
ing the indictment, the senate went
into secret session. On the resump-
ton of the public sitting. NJ. Falliercs
announced that the senate had decide
ed by a vote Of "34 to 30 to allow the
prisoners to be represen ted by counsel
during the preliminary inquiry. but
that the question OF the competence
of the senate to sit as Il high court
to try the charges had been adjourn
ed until after the conclusion Of
the preliminary inquiry. This
is tantamount to an adjournment
of the high court for severa!
weeks ut least. The general comment
in the senate Hobbies was that the in-
dictment displayed the ridiculous. but
still criminal. chara cter Of the rovalist
intrigucs TO overthrow the republic

settled. The principal features OF the
reception in Washington, as planned
by the citizens, with the cooperation
of the president and cabinet, will be
two in number-the presentation of the
sword voted by congress and a night
parade. A public reception at the
white house will be followed by dinner
to the admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secre-
ta1y Long, at the east front Of the cap
itol, in the presence of Mr.. Mckinley
and all the members of the cabinet,
late in the afternoon, while the parade,
consisting of organizations Of all kinds,
will be accompanied by an illumination
of the city on a scale of beauty never
before witnessed in Washington.
The different features Of the prepare
lions are in the hands of a central
body OF citizens and eleven commit
tees, embracing in all over thousand
people. Preparations for the celebra-
ton have been in hand for over a
month.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
other railroads entering Washington
have agreed upon cheap rates for the
celebration, and the committee expects
that there will be an outponring OF pa
trotic citizens almost equal to the in
auguration of a president.
