ODD FELLOWS MUCH CHAGRINED.
lnQur Ordered By Grand lodgs-Row Rejection
0f0.R.p. Belmont lsaked Out.

The odd Fellows of NevU ort, and in
deed of the whole state of Rhode ISL
and. are extremely exercised, to say the
least, over the leak from the lodge room
OF Excelsior lodge of Newport of the
information that Mr.. Oliver III. p. Bel
mont had been blackballed last Tues
day evening.
The fact ut some member lost no
time in maxi ! a public matter of what
should have been held as a lodge secret
has caused more concern in the craft
than the fact that Nj Belmont failed
of election.
Saturday evening Excelsior lodge
held a full meeting and appointed a
committee to investigate the leak in
the doings OF the lodge. The commit
tee will bring up before IL every man
who was in the lodge room on the night
that Mr.. Belmont failed of election, and
each will be made to say whether or
not ne furnished the Information OF the
inside doings of the order.
1t is understood that this investiga-
tion was ordered or suggested by the
grand lodge OF the state, which rs deep
ly concerned at the lodge scandal, and
insists upon it being probed to the bot
tom, as the grand lodge asserts the
honor of the brder is at stake.
In the meantime Mr.. Belmont does
not appear 10 be very much concerned
1t is given out by his friends that he
only consented TO permit the use OF his
name upon being urged.
These friends feel the matter very
keenly and are pushing the investiga-
tion as to how the information got out
for all IL is worth.
Friends of Mr.. Belmont. who urged
his election, are deeply disappointed -.
his failure. as they were going to push
him for higher honors in the craft.

entrance success was hers. pure and
simple. Too much praise cannot be aC-
corded Miss Andrews for the tact and
nicely displayed in singing The Last
Rose OF Summer" 1t was charming
a gem OF vocaliza;ion which will not
soon be forgotten. The lady is pos
sessed of wonderful dramatic ability.
and demonstrated 4 thorough knowl-
edge of stagecraft. She has established
herself firmly in the estimation OF the
large audience present as one OF the
greatest dramatic sopranos on the OPP
cratic stage. Miss Leekley. as Nan
cy, the maid, was pert. pretty. viva
cious and played a delightful counter
poise to the oftimes sad Lady Harriet
C'Martha'D. Her .Ich contralto voice
was heard to- great advantage: she was
particularly strong in the concerted
numbers. when her beautiful voice
could be heard in sweet tones COM
mingled with the other voices.
y. l.. Parmeley was one of the sur
prises of the evening. His perform
ance of Lionel was the very best
thing this singer has done up to date.
His entire rendition OF the part was
perfect. and his singing OF oh. Mar
tia. Martial" was rewarded with a
double encore. MIR. Rockwell. as Plum
kett, played the part capitally. as ne
has always done with every part aIot-
ted to- him during the season.
The two comedians. George Eunkls
and John Henderson. were in their ele.
ment, and created any amount oi
laughter. especially the former. who
played the part OF the foppish old ''SiI
Tristan" in a most ludiCrous manner
The chorus-an ensemble OF voices
any opera company in the world would
be proud of-sang With their usual mu.
steal precision, combined with n sys,
tenn of perfect understanding. which
certainly has created great body OF
voices pure, rich. resonant in tone ant
harmony.

and, what is equally good. more than
pleased audience.

Ian Maclaren Describes Him rs Big

The mutineer is an anlc-boiled mis-
creant. who will strike hard blow
whenever he can get an opportunity.
and at any person whom he can reach. 90
writes Ian Maclarcr. OF The AIutinees
in the Church" in the November
Ladies Home Journal. His sole de-
sire is to do mischief. and the more
pain he gives the better Is he pleased
He will write insulting letters to- the
minister, charging him with every sin
from heresy to lying. lie wIu get I'M
a public controversy about the affairs
of the congregation i'm any newspaper
which is foolish enough to- insert his
letters. He will attack the most rca-
sonable proposals OF the ofiiCs-bearcrs.
and impute to them the worst motives
He will move through the Congrega-
ton as an incendiary. and set fire to
every inflammable person. When he Is
in his glory he will threaten proceed
ings in the church courts. or in the
civil courts; and although he will never
carry them out. being n coward as well
as bully. he will take the preliminary
steps, which cause talk and alarm. II
will also be part OF his role to- pose as
a straightforward and honest man OF
unflinching rectitude and spiritual
aims. What he does will always be
under constraint OF conscience. and he
will summon himself and his opponents
with much rhetorical effect before the
bar of eternal justice. He is so big
and blatant, and good people are so
charitable and easily cowed. that they
often take this man ut his own value
and come to terms with nIm."

AGAINST ANNEXATION
Statements Credited to Otis
and Dewey.
PHILIPPINE CONQUEST UNJUST
An American Minister in Japan Writes
Most Sensational Letter to
Boston journal.

Boston. July lO.-Rev. Clay McCau.
jay has written letter to the Tran
:sr.pt dated at Toxic, Japen, June !.
Nh. McCauley declares mat Admiral
Dewey said to him:
"Kather than make a war Of con-
guest on the Filipino people. would
AXE up anchor and sail out OF the har-
Dor.
Mr.. McCauley visited Manila in Jam
aarv, in search Of health. OF his
views there he writes: "For long
inc | could not believe that the dis
,strous DRIFT OF events was known TO
ne Washington authorities. | was in
lined to lay the onsbility for tie
Increasing perils upon the military
commander directly in charge.
yet, now it seems to me that Gen
.ral Otis did this work in the main III
G;eral obedience to his superiors in
America; that there it was assumed
hat the whole right and duty concern
ing the future disposition and control
Of the Philippine islands lay in the
wishes and will of the United States
that what the Filiplnos themselves
might wish need not be taken into
the account in formulating plans for
their government.
The writer had "A talk with General
Otis. "Among other things" said
Mr.. McCaulev, "General Otis ex.
pressed regret that there was not a
better knowledge of the situation
among the Washington Legislators
than there seemed to be. And he i'm
pressed me deeply by his declarations:
i was ordered to this post from san
Francisco. did not believe in the
annexation OF these islands when
came here, nor DO believe in their an
ueXation now.
II also had the privilege OF con-
