The Temple of Moolah.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23.-The local and
visiting mobiles of the ancient Arabic Or.
der of the Mystic Shrine celebrated last
night at Drud's II all, the great Mussul-
man festival Of the EBAY of Arafat at
Mecca" the last feast OF the Arabian
year. The shrine of Moolah, the local
Temple, was thrown open to the visiting
MOBILES, and under the auspices of Medinah
temple of Chicago there were nearly
three hundred of the faithful taken into
the order. The pilgrims seeking the
shrine of Mecca were conducted across
/ the hot sands of the desert and will prob
ably sympathize with the next pilgrimage
they witness, for it is said the sun OF
Asia had heated the sands to an astoniSh.
ing degree. The symbolic illustration OF
the sacrifice of sheep in honor of 1bra.
been, and of the burning of the prohibited
garment, was also part of the mystic
ceremony.
At six O'Clock In the evening quite a
| number of the visiting mobiles para'led
the illuminated streets and attracted a
| great deal of attention by tkeir unique
| appearance. They were uniformed ac-
cording to the various degrees of knight
hood attained by them, excepting the
| mobiles OF Medinah temple, Chicago,
| whose zouave dress was extremely pretty
and tasteful. Turbans of alternate coils
of white and red cloth, togas OF red fam
mel, trousers of blue. made after the
Arabic fashion, fair leather zouave shoes
| and heavy white duck Ieggings.
ON THE STREETS LAST NIGHT.
| The streets of the city were again illu-
| minated last night and the scenes OF
| Monday night last were repeated, save
! that the crowd was much larger. Halt
| an hour after the close of the charity
| concersat the Fair ground the influx was
| noticeable and By seven O'Clock ia the
| evening all of that great assembly had
been transferred to the downtown
| streets, which were almost impassable,
| either for the wsyfarer on foot or the
Knight and lady in private conveyance.
BY eight O'Clock all of the illumination
fixtures were blazing and when there
were no bands or professions with
in sight the brilliant, lights and
decorations were the attractions. All
along Fourth street and Broadway the
crowds gathered, or rather stood still, for
the Jam was so great that movement
either way was next to impossible. Olive
street was dense mass of humanity from
Third street to Sixteenth. There was not
room on the side walks for the people, so
they took the middle of the street with
the carriages and street cars. The Olive
street line of cars were blocked, and cars
stood one after another for distance
of three blocks for over all hour
for the reason that the throng was SO
dense they could move neither one way
nor the other. On Fourth street and
Broadway the carriages became blockaded
at every intersection. During the parade
of the "Shriners," between six and eight
o'clock, Broadway was practically i'm
passable between Chestnut street aud
Washington avenue, but after that had
passed portion of the throng worked
westward on Olive street to witness the
parade of the fambeau battalion.
Then Olive street became i'm.
passable, and bockades oc-
Cured at every crossing. Bands with
out number .paraded the streets. and the
air was filled with sweet strains of music.
The whole central portion of the city was
q scene of beauty, light and music be-
yond description. The success of the
illumination has been fairly demonstrate
ed, and it is generally conceded that the
efforts put forth this y ear have been to
better end than in any previous one.
Preparations for the big parade to-day
are all completed, and as fair weather is
promised, the probabilities are that
to-day win witness the greatest process
sion in st Louis since the days of the
war. The magnificent spectacle of 22, 900
well-driied men in full uniform is one
which can not be witnessed often, and it
is probable that St. Louis hosts will turn
out in full force and line the streets over
which the procession is to march.
fhe Great Conspirator, Aaron fsurr.
RoNDoUT, N. Y. Sept 22.--- The Free.
nan publishes the contents of a bundle
of letters from Aaron Burr to Peter Won
Gaasbeck, of Kingston, N. Y, that were
found by c. p. Carter in Kingston. Po-
litical scheming is disclosed. One of the
letters throws light upon the notable
contest for the Presidency between
Burr and Jefferson in 1901, when
the matter of choice was thrown
into the House of Representa-.
tives. Burr claimed after Jefferson had
been chosen President that if ne (Burr)
had had an equal number of votes with
Jefferson he would have utterly dis
claimed all competition: as he had no de-
sire to be instrumental in counteracting
the wishes and expectations of the people
of the United States. Those sentiments
were for the public. On the other
side, it appears from letter, upon the
back of which was written "Private ln-
structions, that, secretly, he had other
designs. Peter Won Gaasbeck was poll
tician of considerable influence and
member of Congress. With "private in-
structions" was found paper containing
sort of cipher, by which the letters o:
the alphabet were to be used to indicate
certain names. Burr adds to one of his
letters: "Speak of yourself in the third
person when you wish it to be conce aIed
that you are the person in question"
