ODD FELLOWS.

The widespread interest in the COM
ing odd Fellows demonstration in
Providence on June 7surpasses anything
before known in connection with such
an event, and may in itself be taken as
an evidence of the esteem in which this
fraternal order is held in the commun-
ity. The enthusiasm aroused previous
TO May 3, the original date OF the cele-
bratlon. was comparatively insignifi-
cant as compared with that which to-
day pervades not only membership of
the order itself but the community at
large; and it is evident that there will,
be as much rivalry among the leading
business houses along the route OF the
parade In the matter of decorations as
there is among the various lodges and
encampments to make creditable
showing in the line.
1t is known that one prominent build
ing on Westminster street. between
Dorrance and Mathewson, will make
a display which II is intended shall far
surpass in artistic beauty and appro-
priateness anything seen in Prov
idence. "a carpenter and artist being
already at work on the scheme with
the expectation that their services Will
be required until the day before the
celebration; and many .usiness houses
which were not decorated at all on
in gala attire OF bunting and flags.
The general committee, at its meet
ing this evening, will have many i'm
portant matters to consider, among
which are score or more of special re-
quests from business houses that the
route be changed to enable them to
make elaborate displays OF decorations.
The disposition of-the committee. from
the outset. has been TO extend every
possible consideration to the business
community. which has given such fiat
tering and exceptional recognition 10
the event: but u is manifest that to at
tempt tn crafty all desires would be
Impossible in this. as In other matters.
However. the committee will give care

and its action VIII be governed by a
desire 10 meet the wishes OF the busi-
ness community In so far as may be
possible without lengthening the lire
of marca or causing inconvenience or
hardship to those who march. which
must be paramount consideration.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

There will never be another Char
ley Lee in this state. for he started
with the order and not only kept ia
pace with II. but was always little
ahead for he was leader and, IN fact,
one of the fountain heads of the order
at large. He was better known thar.

the order was known, so was he. In
Rhode Island he was always in the
harness ready day or night 20 respond
to any Pythian call, and none respond
ed 10 more than he. The order in this
state did not and does not today pos
sess more eloquent speaker. and
there were few members of the Su-
preme lodge that surpassed him in this
respect.

Pythians viii miss this brilliant and
honored member but TO many his de-
mise was not unexpected for i'm Tact,

the Grand lodge had come TO the sad
conclusion that Brother Lee nad az

lodge of Rhode Island
He was the senior member OF the
Supreme lodge and for many years
was the official reporter for that body.
His funeral will be held at his late
residence in Pawtucket tomorrow at .
o'clock. and II. undoubtedly, viii be
the largest Pythian funeral that has
taken place i'm this state for while he
was member of Eureka lodge OF
Pawtucket. every lodge felt that he
was part OF them. Every branch OF
the order from the highest IN the
world will be represented and it is
probable that Past Grand Chanceliors
Fred T.. Phillips and John G. Purkis
will represent the Grand lodge OF
Rhode Island
