THE PROPOSED TEMPLE.
Some days ago The STAR published letter
written to Chairman Parker by Eminent Sir w.
c. Msybury Of Detroit commandery, better
known, perhaps, outside the order as Congress
man Msybury, proposing the erection in this
city by the knights Templar of the country of
splendid temple, capaciouS enough to serve
not only as the headquarters OF the order in
this country, but also torsany great gathering
that might assemble in the national capital In
view OF the fact that it has been seriously
proposed by many knights to fix the Grand
encampment in permanent headquarters in
some city, and Washington il considered for
many reasons the most suitable city, this
proposition Of Sir KnightMaybury is regarded as
important. Today Chairman Parker received
another letter from Sir knight Maybury, in
which he said:
my suggestion regarding the building of a
temple for the order must be scattered far and
wide. heard of it in New York and Boston
at the meeting OF the supreme council,
and the painters, roofers, beatsrs
and all other material men are flooding me
with letters and pamphlets concerning their
several products. l presume, like Koko, they
assume that what we say is to be done is done.
Consequently in their logic the temple is near
ing completion. 1 wish it were 80. must say
that universal favor marks the suggestion and
is most gratifying. l shall be prepared to
pledge Detroit commandery for her share if
the idea goes"
