THE KNIGHTS OF PYrH1As.
Competitive Drills for Cash Priz ea-Th
New Ritual Exemplifled.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 24.-The COM
petitive drills of the Knights of Pythias
for cash prizes and trophies opened yes
terday, the battalion drill taking place
on the parade ground in front of Major
General Carnahan's headquarters at
the Exposition ball grounds The grand
review in the afternoon prevented any
competitive drills during the rest of the
day. The first Indiana battalion was
the one called. and they went through
the battalion drill promptly and in good
form, notwithstanding the fact that
Colonel w. l.. Heiskell, who was in
command, was barely able to go on the
field, as he was suffering from an attack
of syncope before the call for drill The
drill lasted about forty minutes. The
foot movements were executed in good
order and the sword manual was gouo
through with excellent precision.
There was some delay in starting the
division drills at Exposition park owing
TO tkre Illness of Colonel l.. G. Granville.
The first division called for drill was
Terre Haute. No. 3, of Terre Haute,
Ind. They We're escorted on the field
by the New Castle, Ind, brigade band,
and went through the schedule of
movements in little over thirty min
ntes. They presented a decidedly mil
itarY appearance, and to the ordinary
observer did not make any mistakes.
Red Cross Division, No. 4, of st. Louis,
was tho next in order and they
marched on the field without any flour
ish or music, and they made an impress
sion both in marching movements and
IN sword exercises. The closing drill of
the day was that of Louisville, No. 4.
They were escorted on the field by the
New Castle band. While they made
fairly good appearance they were not as
perfect in either foot movement, align
ment or sword manual as the two pre-
ceding divisions.
The session of the supreme lodge was
uneventful. The routine business under
consideration not disposed of Tuesday
was taken up and consideration of it re-
sumed.
Last night special session of the su-
preme lodge was held. At this ses-
sion an interesting performance took
place, which was witnessed only by the
officers of the supreme lodge. An ex-
emplifcation of the new ritual took
place. Two years ago committee of
five was appointed to revise the ritual.
Since its appointment eight meetings of
the committee have been held, and its
perfected work was shown for the first
time last night

Canada's harvest Prospects Good.

provinces the yield is not as large as an

expectation, and on the whole the crops
will be as large in quantity and of more
satisfactory quality than those of last
year. In Quebec the yield will be un-

THE BORDEN MURDER
Miss Lizzio's Story Of a Myste-
rious Stranger.
UNPLEASANT FAMILY RELATIONS.

Bridget Sullivan, the Servant Girl,
Tells OF the Stepmother's Futile
Efforts to Establish Domestic Har-
mony Important Letters That
Have Been Destroyed.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. est has
come to the knowledge of the public
that Bridget Sullivan had long before
the tragedy at the Borden home con-
hded to intimate friends certain facts
which leave little doubt that there had
been constant warfare going on in the
Becond street house. Mrs. Borden and
her stepdaughters were on anything but
pleasant terms with each other, al
though the former tried in every way to
establish pleasant relations. Lizzie
showed more antipathy toward the
elder woman than did her sister. 1t is
supposed that at the inquest Bridget
Sullivan delivered great deal of inn
portant information of this character,
and furnished the government with
broad grounds on which to base the
theory of u motive.
A Mysterious Stranger.
Another new feature of the case is a
letter which Lizzie wrote to her sister
Emma the Tuesday before the murder.
The first knowledge Of this letter came
out at LiZZie's examination ut the in
quest In reply to the question:: Had
you noticed any suspicious persons
about the house on the day of the trag-
edy?' She.said she had not that day, but
had on the Monday night before this,
and had written an account of the Incl
dent to her sister Emma. Inquiry de-
Talnpa thn fant fhuk WalnncAnu
Emma did get letter from Lizzie, in
which the latter refers to her anxiety
over something which happened on
Monday night. When she was return
ing home from call she noticed man
In the back yard just rs she opened ths
side gate. He disappeared on discover.
ing her.
After entering the house, Lizzie
wrote, she was so disturbed over what
she had seen that she went to one of the
windows in her room commanding the
yard and watched. She saw man who
looked like the one she had seen already
moving about, but it was quite dark
and she could not give any description
OF him.
The Letter Destroyed.
Emma Borden showed this letter to
friends in Fair Haven, with whom she
was visiting whom she received it, and
then destroyed it, she says. 1t also
turns out that the letter which Lizzie
Borden sent to her Marion friends. and
which was received by them on the day
OF the murder, was also destroyed, be-
cause it contained reference to some
thing which in the opinion of the young
woman to whom it was sent might in
the light of subsequent events be mis-
construed. Some of the speculating
ones are now wondering if that some
thing was not the story of the suspicious
man whom Lizzie told her sister was
about the Borden house Monday night.

THE RETALIATION MEASURE.
Our Governments Action Fully War
ranted Undor the Circumstances.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-There have
been no further developments in the
Canadian affair as yet, but it is expected
In official circles that the distempered
condition of the Canadian ministers will
prevent any adjustment OF the relations
for some time.
There is evidently purpose on the
part of this country TO go MS far as
necessary in the matter of retaliation to
bring the Canadians to realizing sense
that the patience of the United States is
exhausted. Senator Paddock said today
that the action of the United Statn3
government met with the approval #
the people of the northwest; that, in
fact, there was but one sentiment on
the subject throughout the country, and
that the administration would be sus-
tanned by people OF both parties to what
ever extent it might be necessary to
carry retaliation.
Senator Morgan says that the action
of the United States, and, in fact, much
more radical action than that taken by
the president, was fully warranted by
the ugly and. unneighborly action of
Canada. "These people" he said, "have
been acting in such manner as to
make it necessary that we should show
resentment. A vigorous and manly
course is demanded of us. / presume
Canada will not cease her unneighborly
conduct, but we must LEI it be under
stood by the British government that
we do not intend to tolerate it"

THE PORTRAIT.


How like O placid morning is this face,
So full Of healthfulness and rosy Light,
Tho eyes illed full Of tenderness, and bright
With an expression showing inward grace.
Yet closer look, and see that line on line
Hath Time engraved upon this countenance
OF trial and struggle, which may cen en-
nance
The beauty OF these lovely forms divine.
The morning landscape in the sunshine dress,
Once past the fearful storm which shook the
earth,
Looks calmly now, after its rain washed
birth,
In all the glory of its beauty blest;
And, though about are many marks which
tell
OF the storms doings, yet is II not well7

The Romans were very much addicted
to sausages made at Lucanis. The meat
used WAS pork aud good quantity Of ba-
con, pounded in mortar, with pepper,
cummin, winter savory, and moistened
with Garum to which were added few
pine nuts. Ii has been pointed out that
the Romans when they used breadcrumbs
took care that the bread should be OF the
very finest kind, and that before il was
minglcd with the sausage meat it should
be soaked in wine. This was most sensi-

PARIS, Aug. 25.-Owing to the many
cases of sunstroke that occurred an hong

and maneuvers that were held during
the intensely hot weather of the past
two weeks an inquiry into the cir cum
stances was held by order of NJ. de Frey
cinet, minister of war. This court of
inquiry recommended that the officers
who were responsible for the holding Of
the mnneuvers during such terribly hot
weather should be retired. In accord
anGe with this recommendation two
generals and one colonel have been
placed on the retired list. The corps
Commander was censured for allowing
his men to be forced to maneuver under
such unfavorable conditions.
