sacrifices in Odd Fellowship as in the
Christian church.
In mastery way he showed that the
church and fraternal order Of to-day
are both working for commond end,
and that the true Odd Fellow, therefore,
could hardly afford to remain without

speaker asked that all Odd Fellows unite
with the church in driving away the

all other powers that breeded i'll for

be allowed to stand in the way Of hearty
cooperation between the work Of the
church and the fmternal order.
Special music for the service was ably
rendered By the Hedding Male chorus.

GOLFERS rREED BY BULL.
Exciting Time for Five Men at Wenham,
Mass. Yesterday.

Wenham, Mass, Nov. 2l--Five we'll.
known golfers on the Wenham links
experienced yesterday afternoon how it
feels to be chased by a mad bull, and
one of them, in his efforts to reach a
place Of safety, fell into ditch partly
filled with water and had to be pulled
ont by one OF his companions
Chester c. Tupper, Chester g. Ward,
H. W. Snow and Frank H. Squires Of
Beverly and Carl Anderson of Boston
were making a few rounds of the course.
When on the fifth green they heard a
loud noise in a barn owned BY j. b.
Batchelder, about 40 feet away, and
were dumfounded to see the door burst
from its fastenings and fan to the
ground and a large bull rush from the
building. The animal made directly for
the men, but was prevented from reach
ing them by high stone wall, which
he attacked furiously with his horns.
The golfers, fearing the BUN would sue
eeed in knocking down the barrier,
looked around for place Of safety and
chose large apple tree that stood a
little way of. To reach the tree the
ditch had to be crossed and in his ex-
eitement and hurry, Mr. Tupper fell
into the water Tie was hauled out
and assisted into the tree by Mr.. Ander-
son.
A farmland, attracted BY the uproar,
after a good deal Of hard work with a
pitehfork, succeeded in subduing the
beast and getting him back into the
barn, and the golfers having had enough
excitement for one afternoon, left their
perch, gathered up their scattered clubs
and started for home.

dress to the delegates in Chicago last
year he said that recourse to the water
ways of the United States was the only
solution of the problem OF transporta-
tion the great problem Of the hour.
General BiXby's appearance is also an
innovation. Heretofore chiefs of the
corps Of army engineer have refrained
from addressing the convention on the
ground that because Of their intimate
connection with the work on rivers and
harbors their utterances might be mis-
construed General Bixby, by reason Of
his extensive experience, is conversant
with ain the phrases of the waterway
question.
Judson Harmon is put forward by the
officials of the congress as the advocate
of the federal idea in the development
Of waterways In opposition to the
plan advocated in the congress at its
meeting in Cincinnati, seven years ago,
Of assessing different states for their
prorata share in developing interstate
waterways, he insisted that jurisdiction
belonged entirely to the federal govern
