DIAMOND JUBILEE
OF the |. O. O. F. at Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. S.-Ten days
hence there will open in Detroit the
diamond jubilee meeting and celebra.
tion Of the grand lodge of the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows.
Thousands of visitors will come, no,
only from all parts of the United
States. but from the Canadian provinces
and from Central and South American
as we'll. Conservative estimates place
the number of visitors anywhere from
5000 to 10000.
This can hardly be considered an ex-
aggerated estimate when it is taken in
to consideration that the order has in
this country more than 800, 900 subor-
dinste members, 135, 900 encampment
members, the name of the second de-
gree, and about II, 900 patriarchs mill
tant members. The largest local
lodge of the order is more than half q
century old and has a membership o!
several thousands.
AS this is to be the diamond jubilee
session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
great efforts are making to have it the
largest and most successful gathering
in the history of the order.
A weeks program has been ar
ranged and prizes to the amount of

SURPRISED HIMSELF
And His Admirers By His
Mastery Efort-Eng-
lands Chief Justice
Listened.

RENNES, Sept. S.-The court room
today was prevailed today ith an air
of great solemnity when M. Demange
began his final plea in the defense OF
Dreyfus. The prisoner entered the
court room looking unusually forlorn
and piteously wretched.
M. Demsnge stood silent for a moment
he before spoke. Drawing himself to-
gether for the supreme effort of his
life, he began by saying he was a
Frenchmen and the son of soldier.
II always had love for the army of
my beloved country" said Demange.
Here he paused for effect. "Before
this case was brought before the court
of cessation, doubts arose concerning the
guilt of Dreyfus. l shared in them. By
the time the order for revision brought
the case here, these doubts had grown
into positive conviction on my part
that the accusations against this SOL
dier were without foundation, and
have done a most grievous wrong to an
innocent man."
Demange's gestures we're frequent
and he spoke in a tense voice, vibrant
with emotion. No other sound broke
the stiffness of the court room. 1t was
splendid effort all through.
After talking several hours at 11:30
o'clock the speaker asked for an ad-
tournament, saying that he would be
able to finish his address in two and
one half hours more. The court ac-
cordingly adjourned until 7:30 tomor-
row morning.
The prosecution has the right to re-
ply when the defense is finished, but
the defense has the final word.
Among those present in the court
room today was Lord Chief Justice
Russell. of England. He was deeply
attentive to the speech of Demsnge.
The latter exceeded himself today and
surprised even himself and his admir-
ers. .Demange's address was the plead
ing of humanity for mercy.
RENNEs, Sept. SIT is stated by
the highest authority that Labori is
satisfied with Demange's effort in the
court tod ay and will not make speech,
believing that this is the better policy.
It is possible, therefore, that the ver-
dict will be rendered tomorrow,
though there is a general desire to
have it deferred until Monday in order
to avoid Sunday disorders.

courts verdict in the Dreyfus case
