THE TERRIBLE CRIME.

Miss Mary Fellers, the young
woman who was assaulted by
Burns, is about eighteen years Of
age. She is a good-lOoking, modest
girl, and very popular, She had
been a domestic in the employ of
Baltimore family, and had just
returned on a visit to her parents,
who reside about mile from
Martinsburg along the railroad
She arrived on Sunday afternoon,
and at once started out along
the track towards her home. She
had not gone far before she met
Burrs-he was coming towards
her on the opposite track, and
mOtioned to her to step across, in
dicatiDg with his had that trian

tention 20 him, and he then stepped
across, rushed upon her, knocked
her down, and dragged her behind
some freight cars standing on n
side track, and after desperate
struggle, during which he nearly
tore all the clothes from the girl,
he accomplished his purpose. He
then robbed her Of what money
she had, and nearly tore one Of her
fingers from her hand in trying to
force a ring OF. Hearing persons
approaching lie then escaped

- Almost ever body in Connecticut known
the "leather man" Everything about him
is leather. His hat, coat, breeches and
travelling sack are made of coarse tanned
stuff which he has patched and sewed to-
gether himself. 1t is seldom that this eccen-
trio individual speaks a word. Year in and
year out he tramps about the state, obtaining
his food from the kind-hearted people along
the route. Always visiting the same houses,
knocking at the kitchen door and pointing to
his mouth, his wants are supplied.
With almost no variation he makes his ap-
pearance at each place along his route once
in thirty-fonr days. On a recent occasion a
woman shouted to him: "Come here and get

turned and followed her to the kitchen door
where a huge platter Of meat, potatoes and
bread was put before him. Depositipg on
the ground his huge gripsack of rough
leather, in which he carried his AK
and other tools, he threw back his
vtriegated leathern tunic and revealed be-
meath a parti-colored wooden shirt, mended
and remended. This was open enough at the
neck to show a breast which had about the
same color and consistency as that of an OF.
His trousers We're Of the latest London fash

composed of two-foot patches of leather
joined by rude leathern thongs. His shoes
were shaped something like a Chinaman's,
with soles at least three inches thick.

A CONNECTICUT MYSTERY.
The Leather Man." a Wandering Tramp

The Leather Man. a Wandering Tramp
of the Nutmeg State.
Generation after generation nave heard tell
of Connecticuts 'leather man" but here is
the first time that his quaint figure has been
portrayed by an artist. 1t is another triumph
of instantaneous photography, for in no other
way could the old hermit's portrait be cap
tured. So shy is he of public scrutiny that it
would be impossible for an artist to sketch
him. The instantaneous photographer has
been cunning for him for along time. Sports
men can understand the difficulty of bringing
down such rare game as this. To J.. F. Rogers
is the credit due of capturing q photograph
OF this rara avis, and on the wing at that.
The old man had just seated himself to eat,
when the photographer quickly unlimbered
his camera on him, and fired just as the shy
leather man discovered that the cyclopean
eye of the camera was beaming on him. This
accounts for the coy expression he wears in
the picture.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF d FELLOWSHIP.
The original building in which Massachu-
sett5 Odd ~reiiowshi was born, appears III
the illustration. 1t was a private house, in
Federal street, belonging to Mr.. Eaton, a
quaint, plain old building.
T~wenty-three years ago., when the grand
sovereign lodge met in Boston last. there
were only 5000 members of the society i'll the
state. There are now $4,000.
The most striking feature of the meeting
was the parade of the Patriarchs Militant.
This is a new circle or degree within the or
der, founded about q year ago. Its object is
to maintain a military drill and discipline.
The brethren found this degree Il necessity,
practically. In other secret societies there
are military degrees, uniforms, parades and
drills. This attracted the young men, always
drawn by fuss and feathers, away from the
Odd Fellows. To bold their own, therefore,
they started within their order the Patriarchs
Militant. The circle has already been joined
by great numbers. The uniform is q hand
some and snowy one. Now. therefore, when
downylipped Odd Fellow boys wish to make
a splurge on parade days they can do it with
tie Il best. The ci1cvaiiers OF inc farriarcns
| Militant wear, in full dress, O double-breasted
| military frock coat of black hroadcloth, gor-
geously set off with two rows of bright, gilt
| tering, golden buttons. The same is bril-
liantly trimmed with gold, the grade, how
| ever, being made distinctive. The chevaliers
and non-commissioned officers wear shoulder
knots of n plated gold cord, worked in scarlet
cloth, one and ~three-quarters inches wide.
Golden cross belts add to this shiny coat. The
commissioned officers, however, have stripes
and cord. The chapeaux are worn in full
dress; TINT for ofiicers'being stiff, of black silk

black oval ~rosette, with crossed crook and

anticipation. AT this meeting matters OF
| general interest to the whole order are set
tied. There are also competitive drills among
the COMMANDERS from different cities, and
the one performing most skilfully the difficult
evo!utions of the knights of Malta is the ban
ner commandery for the next three years.
For six years previous to the present meeting
the Detroit commandery a held the prize
banner.
This year the great meeting was held in st.
Louis. 1t is said there were never before so
many strangers in the broadlying old city on
the Mississippi. From all parts of the United
States they came-north, south, east, and
west. California sent a delegation 2,UUl
strong. There were from 1900 to 10000
from all over. This, however, was not
nearly the whole throng brought together by
the occasion. Outsiders in great numbers
took the opportunity to visit st. Louis on err
rands of business and pleasure.
The resident st. Louis Communicates took
on themselves the task of providing for the
entertainment of their visiting brethren. The
headquarters of the knights was the tempo
rary building of the st. Aldemar command
cry.

OIL. AtlE iiN-h'
The general convention is composed of two
houses-the house of bishops, which includes
the total number of diocesan, assistant, and
missionary bishops; and the house of deputies
composed of four clergymen and four laymen
from each diocese throughout the country,
and one Clergyman and one laymanf from each
missionary jurisdiction. Til house of bishops
and the house Of deputies meet separately,
the former with closed doors, the latter open
to the public. Either house may inaugural
proceedings, but before legislation is
effected the consent of both must be
had. In case the bishops propose
an act, it must be concurred in by
the deputies before it can become a law. Any
proposed act which the deputies may have
passed is subject to a negative on the part OF
the bishops. In case the bishops are silent
such an act becomes g. law. In the house OF
deputies the clergy and laity vote together,
except upon important points, when they
vote separately, in which case, before a deci.
sion can be had, there must be a majority OF
either order. A vote by dioceses may be
called for, in which case each order THAT is
to say, each representation of four persons,
whether clerical Or lay has one yote-not
four. The vote of a diocese consequently,
since it is composed of four parts, may be
divided.

styled Chicago, is a native of Geneva, N. Y,

The main features of the entertainment
We're the drill of the communicates and the
concert. 1t is only necessary to say that the
music was conducted by Col. p. S. Gilmore,
our w Patrick. There is only one p. s.. in
the world. Brass band after brass band be-
gar arriving on the fair grounds early in the
day and kept it up till noon. They strobe to
the sound of sackbut and cymbals, of drum
and trombone. They filled the air with a
pandemonium of sound, yea, they made
Rome howl. AT that monstrous contest of
fuss there We're sixty bass drums and 200
snare drums, and no less than 800 horns of
various kinds. Long live Gilmore!
There is considerable wild guessing as to the
number Oh the ground that day. The crowd
was estimated by each guesser at from 40, 600
to 5 10000, according to the enthusiasm of his
temperament. But it was n great day any
how. The sights that called up most admira-
ton were the representations of a Greek cross
and a Passionistc cross, formed by the evolu-
tons of some of the Communicates in their
prize drill exhibitions. The figures are in
t~ricate and hard to produce.
The parades of the knights Templar form
some of the rare occasions when a man NAV
put off his customary black clothing, or at
least, may put on colols. He takes advantage
of the privilege with alacrity. Once every
three years, at least, the true knight is SPLEEN
did in purple and gold and white. We are
all fond of gewgaws.
The cross of Malta is the distinctive badge
of the Knights Templar. Some of the SYM
hols and rites of the Masons lave come down
from a time rs old as the history of man.
In the lost period of Egyptian glory, before
the pyramids We're, or the Sphinx had pro-
pounded her cruel riddle, these symbols had
their place and meaning. In the sacred
Eieusinian mysteries their significance was
familiar. Jews, Greeks, Romans, adopts of
India, Rosicrucians and Christian knights
have alike employed them.

The st. Aldemar's hall of entertainment is
one of the quaint old mansions of st. Louis,
built in the architecture of the beginning of
this century, like the Write House, at Wa$l-
ington, and Jefferson's residence ut Month
cello, with a lofty columned portico in front.
The st. Aldemars are a wealthy lodge of
Knights Templar. They have a ladies' circle
of ~sixty-one members. The house was richly
furnished and decorated for this occasion.
The ladies' circle took the matter of entertain
ing the stranger guests in hand, and made it
as much of q success as a church fair. They
remained personally on the ground and saw
that all who came had q lunch. They offered
tea, coffee, ice water and all the good luncha-
bles that hungry guests might desire, but Of
wine or beer or whisky, ne'er q drop. They
held fast by the inborn temperance principles
of the feminine sex.
Tho interior of st. Aldemar's was charac-
terized by artistic taste in decoration. Flow
ers and plants are in abundance. The head
quarter room of the commandery contained
chairs of cherry, upholstered i'll leather, vel
vet and plush. There was a dreamily beauti-
full sitting room, druped in blue, for ladies ];
there was a snuggery Tor the male sex abso-
lutely gorgeous in its appointments likewise
a smoking rooll of the same kind.
The ST. Aldemar commandery is fifteen
| years old.
The stunning feature of the conclave, low
ever, was perhaps what was called q charity
concert, given at tho st. Louis fair grounds.
The proceeds are to go to a fund for the wild
ows and orphans of knights Templar.
