duced by Mrs. Hendrix as the speaker of
the evening.
Mrs Mcneil said in part:
THE Supreme Ruler of the Universe, with
the eye of omniscience, instantly discovered
that it was not good for man to be alone,
and that truth, divinely annunclated at
creations dawn, has been made manifest
throughout the ages. And yet, strange to
say, Odd Fellows required thirty-two years
to find it out. During almost generation
the otherwise splendid Order of Odd Fell
lowship was an Eden without an Eve.
But with the limitations of human vision
further dimmed by the mists and fogs and
clouds of a perpetual and universal preju-
dice, be 1t said to the everlasting credit of
our order that 1t was absolutely the first
organization among men to recognize the
inherent rights and noble influence of
women 1t is exceedingly gratifying to
US to know that after fifty-four years the
brothers are pleased with our work in the
order On September 20, 1851, just prior to
the legislation which gave existence, by
a majority of three votes, one good brother

FILTH THROWN ON SHIELD.
Cubans at Cienfuegos Repeat a Pre-
vious Offense.

cable from Havana last night says:
Some unknown person or persons last night
threw quantity OF filth on the escutcheOn
bearing the arms of the United States
which is over the entrance to the American
consulate at Cenfuegos. This is the sec
ond time that an outrage of this kind has
occurred. An investigation of the last Of
fense resulted i'm the sub-secretary of state
calling at the American legation here. where
he offered apology and promised that
steps would be taken TO prevent a recur-
renee of the affair
One explanation is that the offense was
committed by liberals. with the idea that
IL would embarrass the government. An
other is that moderates did the work In
order to discredit the liberals.
- The police at CienfucgOs are accused OF
having entered the Liberal Club there
last night and searching the MEM
bers present for arms. 1t is said also that
they smashed the chandeliers and pulled
down pictures of Massar!o and Marti and
trampled them. 1t is asserted that the
idea of the police was TO intimidate tho
liberals before the election of members OF
the boards of registration, which take place
on Saturday.
Affairs in Santa Clara are reported to be
extremely grave. The rural guards are
accused of committing great eXcesses The
courts are accused of favoring the mod
crates, and il is therefore considered very
doubtful whether 1t would be possible to
secure the conviction of a modera te for the
outrage at the consulate.

The platform In part. was as follows:
We commend Mayor Weaver for breaking

OF the people. No city in the Union had
greater need of revolution such as he In
augurated. The municipal officers were en-
tirely controlled by corrupt and criminal
combination that brazeny plundered the
city and stihed the complaints Of Its citi-
zens The city councils executed gang
orders with unparalleled serviiity.
The municipality was robbed of its public
trio lighting and telephone franchises
which were given to ring favorltes without
adequate return to the city, although the
plunder represented millions OF dollars in

spectables, who otherwise would not close

PENNSYLVANIA NEW ORDER.
Baggage Cars Must Run Next to En-
gines for Safety.

A dispatch from Pittsburg last night says:
To lessen as much as possible the danger
of injury in the event OF a collision gem
eral orders have been Issued by the man
agement of the Pennsylvania system re-
garding the makeup of trains. The princi-
pal feature of the new rule is the placing
of a baggage next TO the locomotive as
a means of protection to the cars carrying
passengers.
The order posted In the local yards
of the company today aud reads follows:
In making up passenger trains no coaches
or sleeping cars shall be placed next to the
locomotive. In all instances a baggage car,
whether the car Is needed for baggage pur-
poses not, must be the first of the
train. This rule applies to excursion and
regular trains. In the case OF "A combina-
ton baggage and smoking car the baggage
end must be first. The only possible devia-
ton from this order Is on those divisions
where provision is made for turning
trains at the end of a suburban run. This
is the only time when excuse will be
accepted"

to advise him. While I am not fully
convinced In Solomcns case, the rec
ords of Odd Fellowship do show that
the order has prospered as never before
since it secured the advice and cooperation
of the Rebekahs. One of those men, with
more regard for truth than politeness, said
that a woman needs no eulogy-she speaks

that when charters were first granted to

members, now there are more than one and

home for widows and orphans. now there
are more than forty. The Odd Fellows

President Roosevelt feels that nothing
but radical measures can efface a scandal
which he feels more keenly than any that
has come to his administration. He urged
this view upon his visitors moreover as a
wise party measure that may forestall
future disaster. 1t Is felt that some i'm

low tonight's conference.
If the President has his way the SS.009

dent wants this incident to be milestone
of progress in his administration instead of
a scandal that would forever becloud his

Despite the official declarations of his

vest has taken the disclosures OF the New

The practical politicians have advised him
that a nominee should have nothing to do
with the campaign contributions and Is in
no way responsible for their character.

sage TO Congress pleaded for a federal law
to compel the publication of all federal cleo
ton contributions. feels keenly the -humllia-
tion OF illegally given insurance money as a
factor in his election. He believes that the
only way to put end to the use OF illegal
