The streets are bright today with the uniform nnd regalia of the Odd Fellows from all parts of the coun try , who are hero attending the order's diamond Jubilee. Estimates place the entire - tire number of Odd Fellow visitors now In the city at 6,000. The local committea predicts the attendance will bo doubled tomorrow nnd Thursday by the two great attractions , the parade and the prlzo drills. At the session of tbo sovereign grand lodge today little business was done. When the call for now business was announced so many propositions were presented that all were referred - forred to committees without reading. Among the proposals under discussion are resolu- tloiiH constituting a board to revise and codify all laws enacted by the sovereign grand ledge nnd to grant to noble grands and chief patriarchs authority to communi cate the traveling password. The grand ledge took action on the mile age question today , reducing the mile-age allowed each representative to 10 cents per mile east of the Hocky mountains and from 12 cents west of the Rockies to 11 cents. The vt/to on thin question placed the del egates on record , but afterward , by a viva voce vote , the action was reconsidered , leaving the mileage at tihe former rates. San Francisco.

LONDON , Sept. 19. There is an unveri fied rumor from Capetown today that the Boors have delivered , another message to the Drltlsh high commissioner , Sir Alfred Mllner , more conciliatory than yesterday's reply. The rumor , however , falls to ob tain much credence and Is not taken as In any way mitigating the seriousness of the crisis. The outlander press sees nothing but war ahead nnd urges the outlandcrs to leave Im mediately. The London press Is now Inclined to take the view that the recent action on the part of the Boers does not make war a cer tainty , though It does place the British cab inet In a position where It must take steps so aggressive thst war or utter Ignominious submission will bo the only alternatives remaining to the Transvaal and Is by no moans so persistent In urclnc the govern ment to move , except In the matter of hur rying troops to the probable scene ot action. The Pall Mall Gazette prints a dispatch from Capetown which says : "Tho gen eral Impression Is that the Boers will at once take the Initiative and an attack Is expected at any hour. " Troops continue to leave Capetown for Klmberloy nnd the north and the first class cruiser Terrible , sailing from Portsmouth for China today , U reported to have been ordered to go by way of Capetown , Instead of Suez. Nothing Is yet known regarding the date of the expected cabinet council. Call I net l.v Summoned. Summonsed were Issued late this evening for a cabinet council , which It la believed will bo held Friday. This Is regarded as the result ot the visit of the premier , Lord Salisbury , to London , whither ho came this afternoon , remaining at the foreign office from 4:30 : to 0:30 : p. m. Chamberlain , sec retary of state for the colonies , was presenl In the building at the same time and as a private doorway connects the offices it Is presumed that the summonses were the re sult of their Joint deliberations. The lack of all excitement In official cir cles bears evidence to the deliberate manner in which the highest officials are handling the crisis. There is not by any means cer tainty ' 'hat the cabinet council will adopt extreme measures. In eplto of the uncompro mising uaturo of the Boer reply. This de liberation on the part of the government Is Interpreted not only In London , but In other European capitals as a dealro on the part of Great Britain to gain time while the transports are hurrying to Cape Colony. The Berliner Naohriehton commenting on this today says : "Tho special call Is only meant to deceive the Boers. When England feels equal to the task of facing the Boors , this peaceful tone will give way to a blatant cry for war. " Even rumors for a movement of the Boers across the Natal border apparently fall to excite the military authorities here , who profess at least not to fear such a conting ency for the present. In the meantime the movement of troops proceeds. The Royal West Sussex regl- jnent left today for Malta , where It will replace the First Border regiment , which goes by the same steamer to Natal. It la announced this evening that the Brit ish first-class protected cruisers Terrible and Powerful have both been ordered to the Capo. They have reliefs on board capable of forming a naval brlgage of 0,000 men. The steamer Jelunga will take 500 troops bound for Nartal tomorrow and It will em bark a rlflo brigade at the island cf Crete for the Cape. According to a dispatch from Durban , Natal , the premier of the colony says that the alarm of the people of Natal at the un protected condition of the people of the bor der towns Is quite unnecessary and all at tempts to influence the Zulus have been unsuccessful. POOR OPINION OF AMERICANS Lomlon 1'nnerN 1'rlnt Lurlil Storied of the Coiulltlonn oil Thin Slile. LONDON , Sept. 19. The English papers have been printing ridiculous dispatches dally regarding the international yacht race. The Dally Mall , which a short tlmo ago erl- ously announced that a number of Americans had gone mad because they could not dis cover the Shamrock's lines , today pictures the whole of New York In an almost similar condition , saying the Americans nro the most emotional people In tbo world and that In addition to the yacht race Admiral Dewey's coming has made the people "fren zied with excitement. " The English people take all this literally and many unpleasant comments over Ameri cans' lack of self-control nro heard. Most of the English papers today have specials speaking approvingly of the Sham rock's trial yesterday , but the Times' corre spondent cables that It compared unfavor ably with the Columbia's performance under similar weather conditions.

"The crop is small , " ho said today , "and a very small per cent of It Is good. I do not believe that one In fltty apples la sound. The extreme wet weather of last spring made liisecta untwually numerous and they got Into the blo&scms , where the fruit grew over them , thus embedding them In their hearts. Ths result is that there Is much waste In all ot them , and that they will rot quickly. Go out Into jour orchard and pick up one apple after another , cutting them open as you do so , and you will find that there U hardly one that hasn't a worm In it. The apples look as well on the out side to the ordinary observer as usual , "but the experienced grower finda little difficulty In picking out ths bad and good ones.

Mayor .McOulro at Sjracusc made Uio nd- drcss of welcome to the city. Governor llosovclt , who was to liavo dcllvcrsd the address - dross of welcome to the state , telegraphed that ho could not l > o present. Former Mayor Samuel L. Black ot Columbus , O. , president of the league , responded to the addresses of welcome. In his annual address President Black said ; \Vo are not hero to lose ourselves In ab struse and abstract speculations. Our pur pose Is a sternly practical one. We deal with human life ! wo seek to prolong It to suffer It to run ita natural course un checked nnd unhampered by disease. Wo aim to work thla out by disposing of such I severely practical questions as garbage dis posal , water supply , civil service reform , taloon regulations and similar measures. Neither the physicians nor the ministers of the gospel go before us In the humanitarian character of their work. If wo and others working along this line cau Increase the general average of the health nnd happi ness of the millions who dwell In cities we have gained a victory compared to which the destruction of a fleet or an army la as to nothing. "Since the last meeting of this league our people have been called upon to undertake , or at least to regulate , the government of cities In now countries and In Havana , San tiago , Manila and other cities of the East and West Indies our vigorous soldiers nnd administrators are enforcing the first prin cipals of our municipal systems cleanliness and order.

"Whatever plans are proposed and what ever hopes wo Indulge , the bulk of our voters ers are not educated upon municipal affairs and arc not Informed of the advantage * they can caruro by a proper exercise of their suffrfThe voter should be taught what ho can jecure by Intelligent voting. This must 'u.i Jono by the object lesson and ex ample of other cities where so much has beeu Jono for the public at large. Tell the votcs what to vote for and put jour exam ples In the concrete. " Atlanta , Ga.t Is represented by a largo delegation , which Is malting great efforts to have the convention held there next year. St. Paul and Milwaukee are also bidding for the convention. Twenty New York state cities will be represented on the floor this afternoon. The convention adjourned soon after noon and will reconvene at 2:30. : The principal address was made by Mayor Samuel M. Jones of Toledo , O. , who will leave town at midnight to resume hU campaign In Ohio. At the afternoon session President Black made a change In the program and Intro duced Mayor Jouea of Toledo , who was to speak tomorrow , but who is compelled to leave tonight for Ohio , to continue his cam paign for ( he governorship on the nonpartisan - partisan ticket. All of the delegates were In their places when Mayor Jones began his address on "The New Patriotism ; a Golden Rule of Government. " He said : Joiien * Iilcii of I'atrlotlnm. "As It stands today It Is simple candor to say that the word patriotism Is to most people a meanlnglcra Jingle , the one concep tion they have of the thing being associated with red fire , bunting , flags , firecrackers and Fourth of July. The new patriotism , how ever , Is the old patriotism. The flag , the stars nnd stripes , still represent the love of millions , but we have been so busy In the chase after wealth that any Just conception of patriotism Is well-nigh lost in the hurly- burly of the scramble. "We have reached the point where we are j discovering that wild beast ethics are not' ' good enough upon which to base a perma-1 nent and enduring republic. The ethics of i the wild beast , the survival of the strongest , ! shrewdest and meanest have been the In-1 | I splratlon of our materialistic lives during the last quarter of a century. This fact , In our natural history , has brought us today face to face with the inevitable remit. We have a nation In which a few are wealthy , a few are In what may be called comfortable circumstances , vast numbers are proporty- less and millions arc In pauperism and crime. Certainly no reasonable person will contend that thla Is the goal that wo have been | struggling for ; that the inequalltlm that ! characterize our rich and poor represent the | Ideas that the founders of this republic saw when they wrote that 'All men are created equal. ' And tbo new patriotism Is the love of the millions that Is already planning for and opening the way to better things , to a condition of life under this government when every child born In It will have equal opportunity with every other child to live , the best possible kind of life that he or oho can live. "The steps most likely to contribute to bringing about the better days and better times , for which we all long , are to my mind those things that will unify the people , that will servo to weld them together Into one common maes , those things that will help them to understand the oneness or solid arity of society , and the things that are the greatest hindrance to this sort of develop ment are all those agencies that servo to separate the people Into fragments , that keep allvo the fires of hatred within their bosoms and tend to make them hate rather than to love each other. All these agencies are the enemies of progress and ] liberty and stand directly athwart thp1 path of freedom. Chief among them , and i the one agency above all others that the patriot should seek to overcome In the | municipality , the state and the nation , Is partisan politics , " Following Mayor Jones , the 3crctary nnd treasurer made their annual reports , after which the question box waa opened lor the receipt of queries on subjects relating to municipal government , MENA'S MEN IN NICARAGUA IiiviiilliiK1 Suit nilorliuiN Almiit to TnUo I lie City of I.eon The City In .Sympathy.

ThoiinnnilN Suffer from It Without KiionliiK UN Itciil Character. No trouble Is more common or more mis understood than nervous dyspepsia. People having It think that their nerves are to blame , are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines and spring reme dies ; the real seat of mUchlof Js lost sight of ; the stomach Is the organ to be looked ' after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any | pain whatever In the stomach , nor perhaps i any of the usual symptoms of stomach ; weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself j not In the stomach so much as In nearly .every other organ ; In some cases the heart palpitates and Is irregular ; in others , the kidneys are affected ; In others , the bowels are troubled , < with loss of flesh and appe tite , with the accumulation of gas , sour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect street , Indianapolis , Ind. , writes as fol lows : "A motive of pure gratitude prompts mo to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine , Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from nervous djspcpsla for the last tflour years ; have used various pntnt medicines nnd other remedies without any favorable re sult. They sometimes gave temporary re- lief until the effects of the medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habIts - Its , being a bookkeisper with little physical exorcise , but I am glad1 to state that the tablets have overcome all thcso obstacles , for I have guined In flesh , sleep better nnd am bettor In every way. The above Is written not for notoriety , but Is "based " on actual facts. " Respectfully yours , A. W. SHARPER , 61 Prospect St. , Indianapolis , Jnd.
