Finance Committee.

AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER VISITORS Ex-

MADE-CANvAssINa COMMITTEES APPOINTED.


Mr.. James E. Waugh, chairman Of the finance
committee Of the coming Knights Templar
conclave, stated to a STAR reporter to-day that
there would be from $4,000 to $4,000 knights
and their friends to be entertained by the
knights Of this jurisdiction at the conclave to
be held in October next. The display will be
one Of the grandest, if not the grandest, ever
Witnessed in this city. Members of the order
from Winnipeg, Canada, and even representa-
tives from Europe have signiied their inten-
ton to be present. To properly entertain their
guests, the ways and means have been the sub
ject of consideration by the finance committee
This committee have decided that $50. 600 is
as small an amount as they can do with and
give such entertainment to these visiting guests
as shall properly honor our city. To the pres
ent time the following amounts have been sub
scribed by the Communicates: Washington
Commandery, No. 1, Ss,S25: Columbia Com
mandery, No. 2, s., 900; Potomac Commandery
No. 3, u, 725; De Molay Commandery, No. 4,
s4.225. But the citizens of the District Mr.
Waugh said, are also largely interested in this
matter, as a large number of Templgr visitors,
most of them remaining four and five DAYS, to-
gether with those who may visit the city dur
ing the conclave as on-lookers, must necessarily
leave large amount Of money among our
hotels, merchants and others; probably not less
than 81 1000. 900. The Knights Templars there
fore feel that they may very properly ask OF
the citizens some financial aid in obtaining the
sum they desire, and, believing that such appli-
cation will meet with q hearty response. the
finance committee has divided the0city into dis
tricts and assigned to each a subcommittee to
canvass the same and obtain subscriptions to
the fund.
