 sion of Catholic clergymen which had been a contemplated feature of the Eucharstic congress to be held here September 9, has been abandoned at the request of the London authori- ties, who feared that it might cause an anti-Catholic demonstration by the extremists, who have been stirred up by the announcement that King Ed ward would welcome the congress, an act considered in violation of his coro- nation oath.

 Convention 8 Success.

dl lOmOrfOW afternoon $ session. Convention Success. ! The second annual convention of the
 Eagles has been a grand success. Ev-
 cry feature of the convention has
 been carried out as outlined and the
 delegates as we'll as the entertainment
 and parade committee, the local aerie
 and the people of Little Rock are we'll pleased with the success of the meet ling throughout
 The Mardi Gras Parade. The Mardi Gras parade by the
 Eagles last evening was such | bowling success that the promoters decided to repeat the stunt tonight
 and made the burlesque parade a fea-
 ture of the big industrial and commer-
 cial parade, which was held at , O. clock this evening.
 The procession. which included about 800 persons in the most gro- tesque costumes imaginable, formed l at the corner of Third and Center streets, headed by the Hot Springs band, and pushed along in the center and the rear by the comic bands of Hot Springs and Argenta.
 There were all manner of costumes
 and makeup in the procession, and it was a continual changing panorama from start to finish. The marchers were armed with red torches and the streets were ablaze with the crimson lights of the marchers as they pro- ceeded through the business section and to Argenta, where the parade end ed
 There were some decidedly unique features in the parade. The makeup which attracted the most attention, however, was that of l.. E Kahn, of Little Rock, as the "Merry Widow" He wore a gown of red, with promi- nent polka dots, and a Merry Widow That fully five feet in diameter, while
 the remainder of his costume was in Keeping with the character he repre- scented
 I l.. c. McAdams of Benton, the baby
 Of the parade, weighing 254 pounds,
 was another character that attracted i the eyes of onlookers. He was dress
 ed as a clown and his immense size drew attention to him.
 Other unique characters in the pa-
 rade were Sol Wormser and Harry Se-
 quin as Zulu warriors, Constable Tom
 Piel as an infant in Roman chariot, G. w. Creites of Argenta as cow boy, Lee Miles as Uncle Sam, F. P.
 Jacobs and Joseph kollruss of Hot Springs as rural policemen. There were any number of "Maudes," and innocent maidens, while the state
 president, Al Seaman of Hot Springs, represented Buster Brown.
 Only one slight accident marred the l parade. Constable Tom Piel, who was
 riding in a Roman chariot, hauled by
 a mule, and liberally decorated with tissue paper, made the mistake of at tempting to carry torch amidst all
 the inflammable material The deco
 rations of one of the wheels caught fire, but the prompt action of an on- locker, who tore the burning papeH 1 from the wheel prevented an accident, which might have proved serious. The procession, after marching to Tenth street, thence east to Main and
 north on Main to the free bridge, crossed the river and proceeded to the
 Argenta Eagle hall, where the breth- fen were entertained in lavish style o,,t.
