ed hither aud thithor to join their
communicates in preparation for the
march. Early morning trains and
street cars poured other tens Of thou
sands Of visitors from surrounding
places into Boston's already over
crowded thoroughfares.
Boston has seldom, If ever, been so
deliberately decorated. Practically
every building along the line Of
march, besides many Of the side
streets, were clothed in color, with APP
propriate notices and Masonic em-
blems intertwined with streamers and
bunting.
At a signal OF three guns, the first
division took up the line of march,
other divisions following successfully
as the heads of their representative
columns we're uncovered by the diyi-
sion Immediately preceding them.
The column was reviewed at Column
bus square by NJ. W. Z. b. Holmes,

sets. The column was reviewed at
Blackstone square, Washington street,
by NJ. Il. Grand Master Hugh Nc
Curdy and officers and members of

The London newspapers record the
death of Robert Pate, an Australian
millionaire. Few people to-day will
recoIlect the circumstances which made
Pate so much talked about at one time.
About forty years ago, relates the At
lenta Constitution, he was a dashing
lieutenant in the Tenth Hussars, which
is always commanded by the heir to
the throne. He was popular in So
ciety and apparently had bright
future, but one day he yielded to an
ineane impulse and struck Queen Vic
toria with a cane when she was leay-
ing the death bed of her uncle, the
late Duke of Cambridge. The blow
fell on the Queens face and lett q
mark which is still visible, 1t was q
gross insult, and in some countries
Pate would have been sent to the gall
lows or to prison for life. He lost his
commission and was sentenced to seven
years penal servitude in Australia. In
q few years he was released on ticket
of leave, but was ordered to remain
where he was. He worked hard, made
good investments and in time became
a leading millionaire. But this ex-
convict cultured, rich and respectable
in the colony, was virtually prisoner
He was closely watched by the police
until the day of his death, although
he enjoyed unlimited freedom SO long
as he remained in Australia. 1t wa!
generally believed that Pate had nc
motive in striking the Queen, and thai
he was the victim of a momentary ct.
tack of insanity, but the good con
duct of life time could not gain fol
him permission to visit his nativeland
During the last thirty years Of his life
however, he was man Of influence,
and liYel in luxury.

Panama canal. Mr.. Weigel said that
he and two other Americans had
formed a syndicate to purchase the
entire interests in the property of the

negotiations are now pending with the

the plan. he says, however, that one
member of the syndicate lives in Sa-

and financially sound. No bonds are
to be issued.
