LOUIS, Sept. 19.—Many of the foremost scientists of the world are among the men of letters who are here this week to attend the International ! Congress of Arts and Sciences, the opening session of which was held in Festival Hall at the World’s Fair grounds to-day. In the absence of James Bryce, M. P., Sir William Ramsey thanked the exposition for the hospitality with which the delegates had been received. Continuing, Sir William said: Upon America England looks with the affec- 1 of & motber toward a daughter who has her some time since. We Englishmen attendance look upon this visit to America not of that to a foreign country, but to near relative with whom we are to come more cordial relations. God speed you your progress. The honorary vice president from nce, Gaston Darboux, extended to the congress the greetings of the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Paris, the oldest institution of its kind but one in the world. In the name of Germany and Ger- man professors, Professor Wilhelm Waldmeyer of Germany praised the congress and promised that Germany | wculd be second to none in espousing its cause and furthering its purposes. Protessor Theodore Escherich of Austria congratulated the Americans on the boldness of the idea which they had conceived and ecarried out by bringing together such a noted assem- bly and characterized it as typical of American progress and pluck. The Russign speaker, Dr. Oskar Backlund, was greeted with cheers and concluded his speech amid an en- thusiastic demonstration. Dr. Back- lund said: I bring the greetings of the best thinkers of my land and exprees my personal thanks for the reception I have received. President Newcom as the permanent chairman of the con- gress. He took for his theme “The Evolution of the Scientific Investiga- tion.” He said in part: Your deliberations will help to demonstrai to us and to the world at large that the reign of law must eupplant that of brute force in the relations of nations, just as it has sup- planted it in the relations of individuals. —_—— was Iroquois Theater Reopened.

After the hearing of routine business the session adjqurned until 9 o'clock this morning. TO-DAY’S SESSION. The most important feature of to- day's session will be the election of new officers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge for the ensuing two years. Fol- lowing the election of officers the session will hear the reports of the comimittees appointed yesterday and act on the other routine business of the day. On Saturday the installation of officers for the ensuing two years will take place, after which the eightieth session will come to an end. The arrangements made by the Odd Fellows for the decoration of their con- vention hall have been very .elaborate. A supply of new desks, one for each member of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, with the name of the State whence he comes, gives the hall a businesslike ap- pearance. On the stage are placed three chairs of state, which are occupied by the presiding officers, while the record- ing officers are placed on a raised plat- form in the auditorium a few ‘inches below, the level of the stage. On this platform are placed tHe desks of the secretary and his officers, and by this arrangement a clear view of the entire hall is afforded to all the officers. An act of thoughtfulness that was appre- ciated by the visitors was the placing of a basket of fruit on the desk of each representative. Throughout the session the members were able to refresh them- selves with the California fruit, and many expressions of appreciation were heard. Another feature of the decora- tion of the hall was the arrangement of flags of the various countries in which there are branches of the order. These, made of silk and of large pro- portions, are the property of the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge. MUSIC, SPEECHES ' AND GOOD CHEER | AT THE PAVILION The bell tapped the hour, 8 o'clock, and the Pavilion was crowded from gallery to main floor. Some said that 6000 were there, and this came near the truth. There were | 0dd Fellows and Rebekahs at every | nook and crook of the great building, ! and good fellowship, that was by no {means odd in view of the genial spirits | who had a heartv welcome and a . heartier handshake for all, | The opening ceremonies of the Grand | Encampment were certainly successful. | The arrangements were all that could be desired, and it was a foregone con- clusion that the visitors from all parts of the East and the coast were satis- fied that the brethren in San Francisco | had left no stone unturned to make for them a good time—and a lengthy pe- riod of it. Professor Sarvell's chorus of G500 { voices followed the introductory mu- sical selection of the orchestra. The great combination of trained voices could not have done better. The sing- ers were at their best, and at the stroke of the baton and a wave of the leader's hand they sang: Here we welcome, here we welcome, ‘We welcome you, we welcome you! The sovereign ruler of our noble band of mil- From every nation, from every strand, From the mountains, valleys, deserts, ows, cities great; We welcome you with thanksgiving.

He fol- | lowed on the lines drawn by Grand| Sire Goodwin and gave much interest- ! ing data concerning the work of the| order. He was listened to attentively and gave way to Past Grand Master ‘William He Barnes of San Francisco, | who is known “from Maine to Southern | California and from Washington to Florida.” | Everybody who is an Odd Fellow in | California knows “Brother Barnes”—| better than the men from Maine, of | course—so when he appeared at the| front of the platform there burst forth | a cheer that had the right ring in it.

In the morning at 10:30 o'clock there was a special session of the Grand Lodge of California in 0dd Fellows’ Hall, at which the Grand Lodge degree was conferred on all qualified past grands, who were also instructed in ‘the method of visiting the Sovereign Grand Lodge.

NEW YORK, Seot. 19.—Mount Zion Sanc- tuary, Brambam and Ocean avenues, Jersey City, was fllled with enthusiastic faith curists to-day to participate in the annual convention of the sect. Mrs. Gahagan of Poughkeeps testified that she had suffered from cancer of the stomach and ‘‘creeping paralysis.” ‘1 didn’t call a physician,”” continued Mrs. Gahagan, “but came to Mount Zion and was healed by prayer. “T had & son who couldf't talk.
