INTERESTING PERSONALITY.
Judge Milton j. Durham, of Kentucky,
Has Many Distinctions.

One of the interesting personalities i'm the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows at
its meeting this week is Judge Milton j.
Durham, of Lexington, Ky. Judge Dur
ham lays claim to greater age than his
physical appearance and manner of getting
about would warrant. He has won dis
tinction in civil as we'll as lodge life, hav-
ing served under President Cleveland as
controller Of the treasury and in Congress
six years, representing the Lexington dis
trict.
The presence of Judge Durham in In
dianapolis at this time is of more than
passing interest from the fact that he was
grand sire Of the Odd Fellows on the only
previous occasion when the Sovereign Grand
Lodge met in this city, which was in Sep
TENDER of 1873. He also enjoys the distinc-
ton Of having served as grand sire OF the
order for four years continuously which
is said to be unprecedented. The way it
happened was that Grand Sire Logan re-
signed his position In 1875 on account Of
having been appointed United States min
lister to a South American republic and
Judge Durham was appointed to fill out
Mr. Logans term. which had only just
begun. Grand Sire Durham was later
chosen TO succeed himself in the exalted
position which is the highest in the order
of Odd Fellows.

PROMINENT NEW ARRIVALS.
Striking Personality of Alfred :.
PinkertOn, of Nassachusetts.


Yesterdays arrivals of Odd Fellows
brought large number of past grand sires
who are among the most distinguished men
in the order. Ex-Lieutenant Governor
John c. Underwood, who was chosen grand
sire at the Los Angeles meeting of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge in 1888, arrived
from Covington, Ky. Dr. Clarence Il.
Campbell, grand sire from 1892 to 1894. came
from London, Ontario. John w. Stebbins,
grand sire from 1894 TO 1896, resides in New
York. Alfred s. Pinkerton, of Worcester,
Mass, is the Junior past grand sire, having
been succeeded last year by the present
grand sire, A. c. Gable, of Ohio. The past
ChdrleS NJ. BuSDee, OF Raleigh, y. c., grand
sire from 1880 TO lSJ2; VI. j. Durham, OF Lex
lngton, KY, grand sire from 1874 to 1913,
and James r. Sanders. of Ionkers, y. Y,
grand sire from 1868 TO 1870 and the Oldest
living past grand sire.
Mr.. Pinkerton attracted more than ordi-
nary attention in the hotel lobby last night
aside from his striking personal appear
ance-because OF the splendid jewel he
wears on his coat. The jewel is a badge
such as is worn only by grand sireS, and
is not only of fine gold. heavily chased, but
its settings are twelve magnificent dia-
monds. The emblem was presented to Mr..
Pinkerton by the Odd Fellows OF Massa-
chusetts on his retirement from the ex-
allied position Of grand sire last year, and
it is said to have cost $500.
Mr. Pinkerton was asked if ne knew any
business of special Importance that is
likely TO come up before the present session
of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. He said it
is his opinion that account of the gen
eral gloom that hangs over the Nation as
a result of the foul assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley the grand representatives
will not care TO press anything of a weighty
nature they may have intended to present
to the Grand Lodge. Il do not anticipate
that the present session will be marked by
any striking legislation" he said
Mr. PinkertOn is man of much diStinc-
ton in his own State. He has been elected
to both the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives of Massachusetts,. and is at
present chairman Of the Republican state

To make light of any precautions taken

that he should run the risk OF murderous

danger. Unfortunately, all the lunatics
