KNIGHTS ELECT THEIR OFFICERS.


9lr knight Thomas, of Kentucky, Selected
for Grand Master:
BOSTON, Aug. 30-A soaking rain made
the outdoor amusements Of the knight
Templars anything but pleasant. The day
was an important one, however, in the
grand encampment, for officers were to be
elected. This business resulted as follows:
Grand commander, Warren Larue Thomas,
Of Marysville, KY; deputy grand COM
mander, Reuben H. Lloyd, Of San Fran
cisco; grand generalissimo, Henry d.
Stoddard, Of Texas; grand captain gen.
eral, George NJ. Moulton, Of Illinois; grand
senior warden. Henry w. Rugg, of Rhode
Island; grand junior warden, W. B. Nc
lish, of Cincinnati. After the elections We're
completed Thomas feelingly thanked the
encampment for the honor conferred on
him.
The committee on time and place of next
meeting reported in favor of Pittsburg
and their report was unanimously adopted,
the time being the second Tuesday in
October, 1885, The grand recorders re-
port shows q total membership Of 1O6, 10,

exodus Of knights began. Large numbers
will 60 today, but many of the delegations,
especially those from western states, will
disband here ut the close of the conclave,
as great many of these knights intend
to remain in New England for some weeks.
The glory Of the Knights Templars' con-
claye reached supreme climax last night
when the triennial committee of the Grand
commandcry of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island gave n reception and banquet to
Most Eminent Sir Hugh McCurdy and to
the officers and members of the grand en-
campment at the Hotel Vendome. 1t was
one of the most brilliant social functions
ever seen in Boston. The banquet hall
was beautifully decorated with rare flow
ers, ferns, wreaths and potted palms.
Notwithstanding the bad weather excur
sions were numerous and we'll attended,
and all the historic places around Boston
were crowded with visiting knights. The
encampment is busy revising the code.

Prizes on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer q
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most meritorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free Of charge in the
National Recorder, a weekly newspaper. pub
shed in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in.
ventors.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end of each month
will he paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he Sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor will hav
a valuable patent.
