For Holding Convention.
AS a slight reward for his untiring
energy in arranging the details of the
convention of Foresters, Andrew J..
Eckstein was placed in the list of
chief officers next to the head with the
undoubted idea that in the line of sue
cession he will some day be at the
head of the great body of Foresters
that has just closed it's labors in this
city. He was given the Office of vice.
chief ranger, P. Fl. Martin of Duluth,
being his own successor as chief.
This acknowledgement of the worth
of Mr.. Eckstein to the order for which
he has given so much of his time and
money is very fitting and shows that
the members of the convention were
alive to the best interests of the order.
Mr.. Eckstein is competent, willing and
patient and in the course of events will
prove the wisdom of his election.
The convention adjoured from its
labors late Wednesday evening after
having been in session two full days.
A spirit of harmony dominated the
proceeding throughout and the dele
gates left with the feeling of the utmost
goodwill and good fellowship.
One of the most Interesting scenes of
the convention was the good-natured
contest for the next place of meeting.
There were two cities in line for the
honor of entertaining the convention,
| Little Falls and Faribault and the
latter won out by four votes after
speeches by G. E. Vasaly for Little
Falls and by DR.. P. A. Smith for
Faribault. Bothspeeches were couched
in excellent language and were com
polling in their forensic eloquence sc
much so that there came near being a
tie when the vote was taken.

tional convention which is to meet in
Boston, were passed, among them be,
ing a resolution recommending thai
members in the ordinary class be per-
mitted to retain their membership wher

tainment shown the convention and fOl
: the use Of the new school building fol
