It Is bollovcd tho visiting dctegatc.i from
various parts of Pennsylvania, as well ns
from many other stntcs,, will bring many
thousands of devoted ridhcronts of this
patriotic order, with their families, to this
city, to participate In tho demonstration of

Plans havo been laid for a street pageant
on tho final day of tho session In which
uniformed' marching clubs from New Jcr
rcy. New York, Delaware, Maryland, Vir
ginia and all bcctlona of Pennsylvania will
participate.
A numher of prizes or trophies will ha
avvnrded to the marrhlnir clubs. The lino of
pnrndo will lie limited to the mnrchlnt bodies

ously conceived and elaborated decorated llonts.

A feature of the demonstration will bo tho

auxiliaries of the order In the State. It was
proposed to havo thla body er.rntnp upon a
Held, which has been tendered them for this
purpose, from th" Haturday beforo convention
week until tho Saturday following. Whether
this particular fcaturo of the program Is car
rloil out depends wholly upon the outcome of
tho present controversy wim Mexico,
Lnst week Colonel William I". Bchnnk. ten
dered the services of thla military organization
to tho Government, if needed and like action
was taken by Major Loula F. Htccn, commander-in-chief
of the Commandery Clenernl of tho P.
O. 8. of A. Iloth tenders were made throuith
Oovernor Hrumbaugh, nnd It Is bolleved. with
the military training, experience and completo
equipment of these organizations, that they
would give a good nccount of themselves. If the
rountrv's needs should cause an acceptance of
the offer, freely made.
Thla contingency would materially lesicn the
uniformed men ln line of parade, but would In nn
other way affect tho plans beln.f' arranged upon
n generous scale, for an ndequate celebration of
tho SOth anniversary of thla great fraternity
during tho week of August --.
