VERMONT SIR KNIGHTS.
They Number 500 strongin Boston

h''OJ NS''iiSSl WV SSSNS'ls
Knights Templars from the Green
Mountain State, the grand commandery
of which is the fourth Oldest in the
United States. came into Boston Monday
about 800 strong. The Boston Globe in
its issue of Wednesday containing its II
column report of the parade in Boston
the day before has the following con-
cerning the Vermont delegation.
Vermont and Virginia sir knights
were very fortunate in one way, not
withstanding their long wait. At 3l9
Commonwealth av the ladies of the house
threw their doors and their pantry wide
open for tLe tired, hungry and thirsty
knights from the north and south, and
in the hallway and parlor and dining
room, the sir knights from these widely
differing sections of the country drank
and broke bread" together for several
hours. The ladies of the house were so
anxious to serve the sir knights that
they sent out several times for extra
boxes of crackers and more ice for the
water.
During the wait the Vermont and Vir-
ginia bands gave selections to pass away
the time, and everybody had fun. The
Virginia band struck up Dixie" and
one should have heard the old "reheP'
yell that broke from the ranks of the
Virginia sir knights. The Vermont sir
knights were not slow to JOIN in the fun,
and they roundly cheered the Virginia
yell.
Then the band played Garry Me
RuPlY n Old Nirpipia - and tbnpn =
more applause. Other tunes were called
for by sir knights from both states, and
finally the ladies who had been so kind
were serenaded by the Vermont band,
which was subsequently entertained by
the said ladies'.
vermont Knights Templars were in
splendid condition. They were tall stall
wart sons of the Green mountains.
Their ranks were we'll formed, and the
sir knights marched with a firm, even
step that won them applause all along
the line. There were naturally many in
the great crowds who witnessed the par
ade who were VermOnters, so there was
never moment when the Vermont lines
were in need of encouragement,
1.-The grand cOmmandery of the State,
headed by Rt EN- Silas w. Cummings,
was very fully represented, and the uni
forms attracted special attention. In
point of size, Virginia sir knights could
not "hold candle" to their brethren
from Vermont. In Palestine command
cry of st. Johnsbury alone, there were
u sir knights over six feet tall, and i'll
all the other Vermont cOmmandemes the
plumes of the sill knights lowered well
above the height of ordinary mOrtals''
The Vermont Knights were in the
fifth division, the men from the Green
Mountains making one of the best dis.
plays of the day. The entire State dele
cation was uniformed with snow white
plumes, presenting the appearance as
they came down the street of a sea Of
white capped waves. Their fine appear
ance evoked enthusiastic enconiums
along the route.
The parade, which was one of the
greatest displays ever seen in Boston
was five and three quarters hours in
passing given point

They stopped at the Hayfield house for

turn from the bar. His wife finally par
took of dinner, and despairing of his re.
tnrn started to walk to her home in
South Salisbury. Her husband became
aware of this and started in pursuit of
her through the principal street This
furnished an amusing sight and caused a
ciowd to collect. He finally caught up
wirh her on High street, and seizing her,
choked her numerically. Her screams
attracted the attention of the neighbor-

leave the woman, but with no avail. Of

Announcement is again made of the
discovery of a remedy for consumption,
this time by DR.. Maragliano of the Uni
versity of Genoa. Repeated and costly
failures of health restoring "discover.
ies' deprives this announcement of gen
eral public attention, though there are
indications that this new discovery for
the cure of consumption may share a
better fate than its predecessors. 1t has,
as yet, been impossible to determine the
exact results of the experiments upon
advanced cases, but if it proves etfica-
cious in the earlier stages of the dread
ed disease, its worth to humanity will
be almost inestimable. The method in
wolves the use of serum and of powerful
toxic agents derived from virulent cul-
lures of human tuberculosis. These lat
ter are so strong as 10 prove fatal to
small animals, such as guinea pigs, in
two or three days. The remedy is adj
minlstered by inoculation in manner
not yet publicly revealed. Eighty-three
patients, in all stages of consumption,
have thus been treatad. OF these, 45
had but small centres of tuberculosis
and no fever. They were all much
helped, and all who persisted in he
treatment-namely, 29-were cured. OF
those with extended tracts of disease
and some fever all were benefited, but
none have yet been treated long enough
to be fully cured, if indeed they can be.
In the cases of those in the later and
most serious stages of the disease some
improvement was noted, but the doctor
himself has little apparent hope of actu-
ally curing them.

Literary Notes.

Fiction and travel are the strong points
of the September Cosmopolitan, which,
by the way, illustrates better than any
previous number the perfection of its
plant for printing a magazine of the
highest class. Conan Doyle, II. II.
Boyesen, and Clark Russell are among
the story tellers. A well. known New
York lawyer relates the story of "A
Famous Crime'-the murder of Doctor
Parkman by Professor Webster. A de-
lightful sketch of "An English Country
House Party is from the pen of Nina
Larre Smith-the hOuee at which she
visited being no less than the historic
Abbotsford, still occupied by the direct
descendants of Sir Walter Scott. THE
Realm of the Wonderful is descriptive
of the strange forms of life discovered
by science in the oceans depths, and is
superbly illustrated in surprising and
marvellous way by the author, who is a
member of the Smithsonian staff. An
article on Cuba is timely. Without
bothering the reader with unnecessary
description of the famous yachts now so
much talked of, The Cosmopolitan pre-
sents four full-page illustrations show
ing these noted boats. Thomas Moran
again contributes series of the most
exquisite landscapes of western scenery,
Gwelve in number, illustrating an article
by Col. John A. Cockerill, on Modern
Utah" and it may be said that no more
beautifully illustrated number of the
Cosmopolitan has ever been given to the

CoRRESPON NDENCE.
Reunion of the Warner FamiI,

Reunion OF the warner dmlly.
The Warner family held its sixteenth
annual reunion at the house of Granville
Nichols in Fullertown, Ohio, Thursday,
August 10. 1t was one of the pleasantest
reunions this family ever had. The at
tendance was large, rs descendants be-
ing present. But one death is reported,
that of L. A. Warner of Freeport, III.
Speeches were made by DR.. A. D. War
ner of Burton, o., Irving Warner of
Chrigrin Falls, o., and Others. Recita-
tions by the little folks and some fine
singing were had. The vast tent that
covered the tables loaded with refresh
ments and flowers was made by hands of
the past generation.
The Warmers are descendants of Col
Seth Warner of Revolutionary fame, and
the family reunions are always held as
near the 10th of August as possible, and
in this way celebrate Bennington's great
battle where Col. Seth Warner led the
patriots against Gen. Baum.
A few years before her death, the late
Mrs. T. j. Albro of Bennington, who was
Lucy NJ. Warner, presented Seth Warmers
sword, which he carried through the war
for independence, to her nephew, Maj.
Andrew Warner of Chardon, O., and it Is
needless to say he cherishes it as a price
less heirloom.
Buel Albro Crawford, who was born in
Bennington, August, 1887, recited the
following:
l am a lad from Bennington,
That old historic town,
Where Stark and Baum led in a fight,
A fight of great renown.

The Cuban campaign has thus far
cost the Spanish government the enor-
nous sum of $20,OOO,OOO. AS she was
badly embarrassed for want of money,
previous to the revolution, the Cubans
are wondering how long she can contin-
ue the war on her credit.
