THE TRIENNIAL CoNCLAvE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Chairman
Parker of the committee In charge Of
the Knights Templar triennial con-
claye, makes the following statement
as to its success: ''It will be the larg-
est one ever known in this country.
The conclave at Chicago in. 1880 is
said to be the largest one up to that
date. 1t was stated that there were
then 1900 Templars in line.- In
San Francisco they had about 5000
Knights in line, and in st. Louis there
were 5000. At the Washington con-
clave there will be 1000 Knights in
the parade. Beside this it has be-
come widely known that the general
public can come here at the same
rate as the Knights, one fare for the
ronnd trip, and 1 therefore confidently
expect that from 10000 to 100000 ex-
cursionists will be attracted here by
the conclaye; Tickets will be placed
on sale several days before the en-
campment meets and will be good un-
til the latter part of October. There
Will be larger representation from
the south than ever seen at the con-
clave; from the New England states
it will be the same. The grand com
manderies of Massachusetts and
Rhode Island will bring 1000 Knights
The representation from Ohio will be
large enough to make one Of the
grand divisions and you can say the
same of Pennsylvania and Illinois
Then there will be very large dele
cation from the great northwest, al
most out of the world. The south
west will also be well represented,
while the Pacific coast, as usual, will
send large number and entertain
magnifcently."

WHAT A ''sUNDowNER" Is.
WASHINGTON, Sept 21.- Captain
Schley, recently chief of the bureau
VI O4uApu1Cnbo dUu IcOI uIbluBy tut
now in command Of the new cruiser
Baltimore, which made such a sue
cessful run last week, was at the navy
department to-day. He was greeted
on all sides with congratulations up
on the great speed Of the vessel, anC
he assured his friends that there is nc
better or switter war vessel ahoat
He said that in his opinion the shiI
made even greater speed than ap
lpeared from the record, for he be
lieyed that the patent log with 25(
feet of line on it, was skipping out o
the water half of the time. He called
his ship a "sundowner, and wheI
asked what this meant, he explained
that a 'sundowner" is a ship tha
makes such fast speed when she goel
west that the sun never sets on her,
and there is always daylight on hel
decks.
