MARCHING KNIGHTS.
Tho Procession OF the Templars at Chicago
Yesterday

The Procession OF the Templars at Chicago
Yesterday.
The procession of the Grand Encampmcnt
Knights Temp!ar took place yesterday a,
Chicago.
AS the column moved south on Wabash
avenue, the sight was a grand and inspir-
ing one. Marching at 4 steady pace of
about two miles an hour tho soldier-likc
bearing and beautiful and starred uniform
of the different Communicates elected
cheer upon cheer from the living walls
between which they passed, and
the sight which greeted the knights
themselves was 4 fraternal acknowl-
edgment Of the esteem in which
they were held. The city of Chicago
paused from work, while her streets were
crowded with visitors from all sections of
tho union to do do them honor. Nearly
every house they passed was gaily decorat-
ed in honor of their presence. Every pos
sible place that afforded a view of the
march was occupied. Eavcs of houses,
window sills and crOsS-arms Of telegraph
poles, were all forced into service, if from
them the knighly spectacle could be seen.
Tho miles of temporary seats along the
AS the column passed under tho funeral

was changed to dirge and tho comman-
deries reversed swords.
The Grand Commandery's rcview arch,
at Wabash avenue and Twelfth street, was
saluted by drawn swords and a salute by
officers and standards. The column, after
moving through tho principal streets,
marched down Clark to the Grand Pacific,
where it was dismissed.
Among the remarkable features of the
procession were the Oriental commandery,
who escorted the Eminent Grand Master,
in his carriage drawn by thirteen horses,
seven white and six black, and attended
bya brilliant staff, the Detroit command
cry, the St. John, of Philadelphia tho
Kapcr, Of indianapolis, and the Richard
CGur de Leon, of London. Ont.
The Grand Encampment Of the United
States met in conclave during the after
noon, but transacted no business beyond
listening to formal reports. Officers will
bc elected to-day.
The grand ball at the exposition build
ing, last-night, was monster affair, but,
owing to the same management that kept
the communicates standing broiling in tho
sur, without their breakfasts inthe morning,
it was not the complete success which the
elaborate and magnificent preparations
and decorations of the building promised,
Invitations were issued for over 100, 600
people, and the building is not capable of
holding over $4,000. Scenes resembling
hose of an infuriated mob were enacted at ]

without some guarantee. We doubt if
Conkling has been entirely placated even
yet, and the fact that Don Cameron ras
not at the New York conference, though
published as being there, indicates that
the stalwarts have not been altogether
appeased. They found Mr.. Hayes tricky,
they know Garfield is uncertain, and
will probably let the Ohio Republicans
carry their own state first before they
give them any very substantial aid.

IN CHICAGO.
Lancaster knights at breakfast.


One of the finest entertainments given
in connection with the Knights Templar
festivities in Chicago was breakfast at
the Palmer house on Monday morning to
Grand Master Vincent L. Hurlburt and
the Grand Encampment of the United
States by Beauseant commandery of Balti-
more. The festal board, around which
sat the most distinguished lights of Tenn
plarism in the United States, was laid
in the spacious dining hall Of the Pal
mer house, with its tessellated marble
floor, its columns of polished marble,
and the walls decorated with the BAN
ners, notices and insignia Of the
Masonic fraternity. It was II O'Clock
before the members of Beauseant
commandery, after marching from the
encampment in full dress, arrived at
the Palmer house. Here they were shown
into spacious parlor, where they received
their guests and exchanged friendly salu-
tations. Knights from the various states
were introduced one to another personal
cards were exchanged, and the greatest
good feeling prevailed. Silk flags marked
the representatives of the different states at
the tables. There was an address Of welcome
invocation, ETC., and then the meal was
discussed. 1t embraced little neck CLAIMS
on the shell, potage. hors dc vivre, poisson
escallopc, dc fillet de boeuf saute, young
chicken, saute a IL Marcngo, saddle of
spring lamb, English snipe, chicken salad,
Omelette sOuffle q Ia Manila, with their
concomitant vegetables served up in the
highest style of tho culinary art. The
wines were choice and Of the finest flavor,
embracing Haut Saaternc, Chateau Yquem,
Johannisbergcr, dry Monopole and Cog
nae. There were toasts and brilliant
speeches and the whole affair was a grand
success. Among tho guests wero Mr.. B.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
In Lancaster Mariettal ON Sunday, Miss
Tillic Matecr was walking with 4 gentle
man, when spark from his cigar set fire
to her dress and she was fatally burned.
1t seems to be inevitable that when
wOman's clothing comes in contact with
fire, even so small an amount rs cigar
spark, the wcarer is seriously burned, if
not killed. Considering tho extremely in
tlammable nature of the female dress and
the careless grace with which it is switched
around in proximity to open CRATES and
blazin. gas jets, the wonder is, not that so
many women arc burned to death, but that
SO many escape. There are preparations
for rendering clothing and other textile
fabrics incombustible. Cannot ono or
moro Of them be made fashionable, and
SO protect our wives and daughters from
tho most horrible of all deaths?

with stones and was drowned. No effort
was made to save him until ho sank to the

Fine Apples.

We arc indebted to Mr.. II. G. Linton, of
Clonmel, Colerain township, for half peck
of tho largest and most finely favored
apples we have seen this season. They are
of the variety known as the "Queen
apple and are deserving of even lOftier
name. As Mr.. Linton is not only a good
hOrticulturist but a good Democrat also, he
proposes to name them the " Hancock and

Let Them Alone.

Why cannot the Lady Coutts he left
alone to marry that young American of
ours in peace and quietness. What bus
iness is it of any of us She is old
enough and SO is he. The years of discre-
tion are not lacking. If he likes years
near to seventy and she likes the fresh
ness of less than thirty, We need not be
surprised, for there are advantages on both
sides that make the arrangement a
very business-like one. She las wealth,
he youth. 1t is matrimonial trade that
is going on every day; but often with
a reversal of parties. The man frequently
has the money, while the woman con-
tributes the beauty. Just the other day
distinguished citizen of Pittsburgh,
older than the lady Coutts, married a
lady about the age of her intended
spouse and tits said gave her a million
dollars as bridal present for make
weight to his years. Who says he or she
did not do wisely? He traded his money
for what he believed would give him in
creased happiness during the brief re-
mainder of his life. What better could
he do with it ? lie could not take it
with him; neither could the Baroness
COutts. So they did wisely, as we must
agree. And as to the youthful partners
in the arrangement; shall we object that
they sold their youth for lucre? Per-
haps we might if we were in
their places. Maybe we are more
sentimental than they are. If they have
not the sentiment which would have en-
abled them cheerfully to throw SO many
ducats over their shoulders perhaps they
are unfortunate; perhaps not. But we
do insist that there shall be equal liberty
extended to the youth of both sexes to
walk in the persaic rather than in the
flowery paths of matrimony, and to
balance their roses with joy. 1t may be
a proper subject of comment that the
scarcity Of English heiresses and the
abundance of eligible young men should
drive the latter so far up in seventy years
for a monetary equivalent of their
flower; and we may congratulate the
marriageable young men of America that
things have not yet reached such a pass
here; but this is about the limit of pull
lie interest in the Coutts contrast.

The Doc Carel,orp.


The dog catchcrs arc doing all they can
to gobble up. the unmuzzled ours, and yet u
good many of them continue to run at
large. This morning on South Duke street
there was lively tussle for the possession
of a dog. The dog catcher throw net
over it and captured it. A woman who
was walking near by claimed tho dog as
her her property and insisted on having it.
The dog catcher wouldn't give it up, and
the woman seized it. She pulled one way
and the dog catcher tho other, tho dog
swapping, snarlins and biting and fighting
for liberty. There is no telling what might
have been the result of the battle had not
Chief of Police Deichler run to the as
sistance of tho dog catcher and by main
force pulled the woman away. Tho dog
was then locked up. The woman declared
she had penned up the dog, but that it had
jumped out of window.
