MEL convention of the Knights of
Pythias was formally opened Tues
day in the Palace hotel. Nearly $50
delegates were seated when Supreme
Chancellor Ogden H. Fethers raped
for order. There were few vacant
seats, and these will be filled before

absent supreme representatives have
all telegraphed that they will be here
as soon as the delayed specials are
able to move. After the session was
called to order Supreme Representa-
tive Walker C. Graves, of California,
assembled the rostrum, and in behalf
of Chairman Charles l.. Patton, of
the executive committee, delivered
a welcoming speech to the assembled
knights. Gov. Henry I. Gage sent
his regrets at not being able to at
tend in person to receive the visitors
to California, and sent a message of
welcome, which was read by Myron
Wolfe. Supreme Chancellor Fethers
responded.
At the afternoon session reports
were read. Supreme Chancellor
Fethers, in his annual report, said
that on December 81, 1901, the order
had 54O,13S members.

THE ELKs.
They Capture Salt Lake City and Are
Warmly We1comed-Elect
New Officers.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 13.-Utah and
Salt Lake City extended royal well
come to the hosts of visiting elks at
the Mormon tabernacle Tuesday. Fac
ing many Representatives from every
section of the country, Judge o. w.
Powers, of Salt Lake, babe them well
come to the city and all 1t contained,
while Gov Heber NJ. Wells laid before
them as their own the state OF Titan
and the riches thereof. The meeting,
which followed an immense military
and civic parade, marked the formal
opening of the annual reunion of the
grand lodge of elks and was attended
by ellls in such numbers that even the
capacity of the great hall of worship
was taxed to the utmost. Elks were
present from practically every state
in the union, and even the Hawaiian
islands were represented. Probably
10000 visiting elks are in Salt Lake,
forming, according to Grand Exalted
Ruler Pickett, one of the best and
most representative gatherings of the
fraternity he had ever seen.
The meeting of the grand lodge was
held in Assembly hall in the afternoon,
and after the annual report of Grand
Exalted Ruler Pickett had been de-
livered and other reports presented,
the election of grand officers for the
ensuing years was taken up. This re-
suited as follows:
Grand Exalted Ruler-George A. Cronk,
Omaha.
Grand Leading Knight-W. B. Vrock,
Lexington, Ky.
Grand Loyal Knight-Judge A. H. Pick
ems, Denver.

| Grand Secretary-George Reynolds, Sag
| NAV, Mich.
Grand Treasurer-E. s. Orris, Mead
| vile, Pa.
| Grand Invertebrates Kaufman, Ho-
/ boken, N. j.
| Grand Trustee-J. D. O'Shea, Boston.
Grand Exalted Ruler Pickett took
strong grounds against the growing
practice of holding street carnivals
and fairs. These enterprises, he
held, were more productive of harm
/ than good to the order, and he rec,
commended that they be either regu
lated or even altogether prohibited
The report of the secretary showed
the order to be in an exceedingly
prosperous condition. An increase
in membership of about 26,ooe during
the past year was shown, bringing
the total up to about $4,000. The
number of elk lodges in the United
States was reported at sos, an in

Two or three minutes later came the
hoarse cry from the Westminster

blasts from trumpets. Yet there was
another wait. What has become of
the king?" was asked by people who
were shut off from sight of the nave.
The queen waited patiently, the organ
ceased and then resumed. there was
another fanfare of trumpets, another
chorus of WHATS" and King Edward
appeared and walked to his chair in
front of the throne, bowling to the
queen as he passed, and then knelt
down in prayer. After removing his
somewhat unbecoming cap his majesty
stood up and the archbishop of Canter-

His PoliticnlCareer.

Senator Mcmillan was the recognized re-
publican leader in Michigan. and had been
since his first election as senator in 1889.
When ex-senator Zachariah Chandler died
in 1879 Senator Mcmillan was secretary of
the republican state central committee
Chambers death left the republican party
in Michigan without dominant leader for
several years. In 1885 Mr.. Mcmillan was
elected chairman of the state central COM
mittee, and from that time until his death
he was the leader of his party in Michigan
He held the state craftsmanship until 1896,
serving for seven years after his election
to the senate. Senator McMillan's sue

be largely accredited to his wonderful ex-
ecutive ability. He was man of compare
lively small personal acquaintance
throughout the state, but he picked his
party lieutenants with rare Judgment. He
was no orator, and seldom spoke before an
audience. His life was clean and his char
acter spotless. His word was sacred. An
unqualified promise once given was never
broken. A qualified promise was never
changed from the original qualifications.
