Address of waIeome,


VIsIriNG Sir KNIGHTS AND LADIEs-ft Is
with pleasure voice the welcome OF St.
Elmo Commsndety and the Sir Knights OF
Memphis to our visiting ifatefS OF Kansas
City. Commerce, with an iron hand, has
stretched his massive link across our sister
States of Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
Resting hIs head In the cenfnes of your
city, he bathes his feet at the
foot Of yonder bluff in the rushing
torrent Of the ...Father of Waters,
Tie roar OF artillery has proclaimed
to the world that another avenue of
commerce has been opened connecting
the metropolis Of the West with the
metropolis of the South. In all this re-
joice, for knight Templarism has ever
been the friend of progress, national, So
cial and spiritual advancement. The
lives of her children on the trestle-board
of their existence speak volumes which
need no passing comment from me. But
we meet not to celebrate even so impor-
tant an event. The iron hand of commerce
cannot strengthen the tie that binds u.s.
Modern mechanism, with its lightning
speed, can be no substitute for the tried
virtues With their steady luster, by which
we propose to guide the frail bark OF our
existence over the ocean of our ever,
changing life. We rejoice in the grand
future of our cities and homes. But We
would to- day welcome You not as strangers,
but as brothers enlisted under the
same cross, actuated by the same
principles, governed by the same creed.
In conclusion; | would say for the Sir
Knights of Memphis, as expressed by
good Sir Knight last evening, you need no
latch-striIg to our hearts and homes.
Since the announcement OF your antici-
pated visit. the door has been thrown open
and we only demand that you enter and
be as one OF Us.
aAt. RAMBAur VAS ANSWERED
by Sir Uwsley, df Tho Esiisas Cits Com
| mandery. in few short but exceedingly
| appropriate remarks.

sion, was then given by the st. Elmo

c-..is swain. Esperisnse 81 II \


Miss Carrie Swan, Hth5 Ht55 :ctttess; sppesred
at Harrisburg, Pa, Christmas night in her
play Cad The Tonaboy. After the play she
took rooms in the second story of the Lo-
chiel, one of the leading hotels. A bal
ccny adorned the front Of her room. Soon
after retiring for tie fight three Or four
gentle raps on the window awakened het
from quiet slumbsr. She paid no atten-
ton for time, but reached under her
pillow for her revolver. Soon the window
was raised and young man sprang into
the room. Miss Swain's first impulse was
to fire, but woman.like she changed her
mind and cried for help. Her maid, who
slept in the adioiHing ropm; at once re.
sponded, as did number humber of
employees. The intruder proved to be
Ross Reno, son OF Ex.Maj. Reno, United
States army. He was taken out and placed
in his own room. The affair was kept
quiet. Miss Swain declined to prosecute
the young man, but the proprietor OF the
Lochiel ordered him to seek other quar-
| tet5. Miss Swain says that the reason she
did not shoot the intruder was beoattse il
would have detained her as a witness and
broken up her engagements for the season.

my hearing of his influence with YOU, and
that lac had frequent letters from You, and

le' ares that every endeavor has been
made TO place the work in as safe condi-

be feared that this can be only
partially accomplished, as the fund now
available, the balance of last years

carrying active operations till about the
middle OF December, after which time all
work must cease until Congress makes q
further appropriation for its prosecution.
The commission feel that they cannot too
strongly urge upon Congress the necessi-
ties of the case and need of early relief.
as the Coed season, with all lis
attendant dangers, is close at hand,
and the commission, before that time
will have exhausted all its available funds
