The annual meeting of the grand |odg< of Odd Fellows will be held in Minneapolis the second Wednesday in June, and the session promises to be one of the most eventful in the history of the order. The election of grand lodge officers was to a large extent thrown into the grand lodge session, the Australian ballot election in the subordinate lodges failing to elect in several instances. On this account there Tvill be considerable interest attaching to the contests, and there may be an attempt to repeal the present law pro viding for Australian ballots. On account of business depression the order has not shown any remarkable growth the past year, but there has been a healthy increase, the number of initiators being 1.212. and the net gain was 200. Among the reports to be submitted will be that of Grand Sec retary A. L.. Bolton, who is re-elected. FARMER GRASHIVMORirS SCHEME.

It has thrown a lot of dust in the eyes of the local music trade. That result is a little bit un fortunate, but it can't be helped. No one expects a regular dealer to maintain as swift a e-ait as the assignee. He just simply can't.

Bids have been advertised for, and on the evening of Friday April 30th the last sales at retail will be made.

INQUIRIES FOR PASSPORTS. Traveling: Americans and Their Peculiarities— Oddities of Con Mil If*. Special Correspondence of the Globe. WASHINGTON, April B.— They tell me at the passport office of the state department that the exodus of Ameri cans to Europe this year is going to be greater than usual. Many men who were kept at home last summer be cause of the election uncertainty are going across this year, and they are going to take an enormous amount of • American gold with them. Gen. Hor ace Porter, our new ambassador to France, told me when he was here a few days ago that he estimated the amount of money our people will spend abroad this summer at $100,000,000, equal to our standing gold reserve. No wonder we have a struggle keeping gold on this side of the ocean. The number of travelers taking pass ports is comparatively small, but it varies with the volume of travel. Going on a short trip in the beaten track of trourists it is not necessary for the traveler to take a passport, but he | sometimes finds it convenient to have I one. In Russia, in Egypt and in other | countries less generally visited by Americans, it is quite necessary to have a passport. The state department would prefer very much . to issue a passport to ev j cry one of tne tens of thousands of j travelers who cross the Atlantic every : summer. A passport is a sure identi ! fication of the man who holds it, and if the man gets into trouble the great seal of the state department usually assures him respectful treatment. This saves the state department a great deal of trouble. If tfte man has no passport and cannot make the local authorities understand who he is, he is likely to be outraged through ignor. ance or stupidity, and then the depart ment has a claim for apologies and damages to press. Our consuls and ministers and ambassadors have their hands full most of the time keeping up with the procession of indignant Americans. The people of Europe are rather ar rogant sometimes in their enforcement of laws and local regulations, but they are far less severe with the stranger than with their own people, and the reason for this is found in the fact that the traveling American is a peren nial boon to all the countries of Eu rope. In Great Britain there is an other reason. Chauncey M. Depew, who came very near being our ambassa dor at London under this administra tion, told me recently that there was a feeling of affection for us in the hearts of Englishmen which few Americana can understand — a feeling of kinship which the American does not recipro cate. What do we give In return? If Amer ican consuls are to be believed, the most offensive display of boorishness that is possible in a people not wholly uncivilized. A senator who has been across several times said recently: '"Where do all the nice Americans go in summer? You never meet them trav eling." The truth is. we are a great deal worse abroad than we are at home. Secretary John Sherman, when he was a senator, made two trips across the v»ater. He tells of meeting on one of these trips two nice American men of good breeding and refined tastes who attracted unpleasant attention in the smoking room of a hotel by boasting loudly about their country and abus ing every other country' and its people. They finally found themselves alone, and then they grew hilarious over their success in cleaning out the place. They had made themselves disagreeable pur posely so as to drive away some Eng lishmen who were occupying the best places in the room. Another gentleman, a well-known newspaper editor, told me of a meet ing with a fellow countryman in a Paris hotel. The man approached a party of Americans. "You're from the United States," he said. "So am I. I haven't any cards with me, but that's my name." And he drew out a na tional bank note and placed his thumb nail on the signature of the president of the bank. He wanted his fellow countrymen to know how important a person he was at home. Doubtless he had done the same boastful, silly thing with strangers from other countries. It is the way of too many American tour ists. They are boisterous, bragging. They carry the American eagle on their shoulders and shove it under the nose of every one they meet. But there are many kinds of Ameri cans just as there are many kinds of Englishmen. We make the same mis take in judging the Chinese. In every city but Washington the cooly laborer or laundryman is taken as the typical Chinaman, while the people here who have met the noblemen of the Chinese legation know that they are of quite another class. Missionaries who have visited China will tell you that we get the very scum of her population. But we differ from China and from England and from every other great nation in this — we do not send repre sentative Americans always to repre sent us officially at foreign capitals. We have been peculiarly fortunate in our ministers and ambassadors at Lon don, Paris and Vienna. But many of our ministers at other capitals have been mere politicians, and our consuls general and consuls have been, if any thing, worse. 1 don't mean to sneer at the politician if he Is anything elso. Eut we should not send abroad men who are politicians only, men v. r sio lack business and social standing, educa tion and refinement. The English gov ernment would never send a farmer to act as consul general at Xt-w York. It might give him a special mission to examine our agricultural resource? and honor him in other appropriate ways. But a consul general would be selected from the list of men with business experience on the rolls of the foreign office. Secretary Sherman, when he was a senator, told me he thought no man ought to go abroad for our government who did not speak the language of the country in which he was stationed. It Is unfortunate that Mr. Sherman did not make that a inviolable rule of his department when he took charge of it. Mr. Sherman, by the way, was pre sented to the emperor of France at an official reception when he was in Paris, and he wore knee breeches, silk stock ings and low shoes for the occasion. This was the costume worn by Bm bassador Breekinridge at the corona tion of the czar. The story about it made much merriment for Mr. Brek inridge'9 friends ar.<J for newspaper readers generally In the United State?. Knee breeches are worn by many or our diplomats on state occasions. Gen. Porter will wear his uniform as a brig adier general of the regular army when he is presented to President Faure But Col. Hay, whose military service waa limited to two months. Ambassador V\ hite and Ambassador Draper may have to appear in what classic Boston calls "knee pants." our representatives abroad once wore not only knee breeches, but s words*. Hut that was in the day when the president of the United States wortf knee breeches and observed some of th» ceremonies familiar to the courts of Europe. Nowadays our ambassadors prefer uniforms, even militia uniforms because they are more imposing and usually more becoming. A thin-legged ambassador is not an impressive sight in knickerbockers, and Mr. Sherman who was always thin, must have pre sented a remarkable appearance when he made his bow to the president of trance. Besides, the uniform Is ac companied by a title, and titles are dear to the American heart. . Here ira \\ ashington they are in some disrepute because the hangers on at the hotel* and about the capitol have come to be known as "the majors and the col onels." But the traveling American likes to be known as of military rank And the American ambassador and the American minister are not exempt from the national weakness One feature of the passport business, by the way, causes many heart burn ings. The state department has an ab solute rule forbidding the insertion of any title in a passport. The militra officer who wants to be "generated" abroad and the regular officer of the army, the mayor of a city and the £^£ c £ n tn , e . bem<h we on equal terms office P citizen in the passport "Col. John Smith" is John Smith there, and the "Hon. Obadiah Otter son is plain Obadiah. They protest to the department, but the rule is inflex ible. —George Grantham Bain. GLADSTONE I.AXD SCHEDILEB.
