ordered the line of march across town to be
changed from Fifteenth street to Twentieth

had been granted. She replied that there

girl. But the rain came, and everybody and
everything in the parade was soaked; SO the

Quick WOrkSby Cupid.
Thomas Rogers. of 1886 Boston Road the
father of Miss Rogers, young Mr.. Oglesby's
fancee, said to-day that he knew nothing Of
any opposition to the marriage on the part
of Colonel oglesby. He said thatSColonei
Oglesby5 knew his address and could easily
have communicated with him had he wished
to make any objections. Mr.. Rogers said
that he did not know how old young Oglesby
was, but that If he wasn't more than 81 then
boys grew old quicker in the west than they
do here.
Young Oglesby and Miss Rogers met each
other on board the st. Paul while coming to
this country, and according to the story told
by their fellow passengers when they landed
Sunday, the young couple met for the first
time on the steamship and became engaged
after two days acquaintance

The Legion of "Your Honors."
A number Of American members of the
French order of the Legion of Honor met to-
day on board the French line steamship La
Savoie to discuss the formation of a society
in this country. A committee on bylaws,
which had been elected at previous meet
ing, held at the residence Of James Stokes,
presented set Of articles for consideration.
The report provided for the formation of
society, local in nature, to be called the
New York Society of the Legion of Honor Of
France.
General Daniel e. Sickles protested against
making the society anything but national and
proposed that the organization be called the
Society of the Legion of Honor of France
heated discussion followed in which Henry
Peartree, Mr.. Stokes, Professor Cohn, Perry
Belmont and George H. Putnam took part.
The question was left undecided and will
probably be taken up at a general meeting
which will be held at Washington on April
10, under the presidency of the French am
bassador.
A strong western delegation was present
to-day but opposed the Capitalization Of 1.-The
society at New York. The westerners said
that the proposed bylaws creating four hon
orary presidents was subterfuge to dispose
of the western men standing high in the
precedence Of the order.
Among those present at the meeting to-day
were Ferdinand W. Peck. grand officer of the
order; Perry Belmont and General Sickles,
knight commanders: George H Putnam, w.
Morton Grinnell, Frederick Bracket Ben
jamon D. Woodward, Professor j. IA. Cores
and Roland f. KEoedler, officers and twenty
four American knights of the order.
