That within radius of 300 miles
from London an old woman should
have been burned to death as a witch
is a reproach on British civilization,
even if the terrible murder did occur
in Ireland, exclaims the New York
Times. When famine or disease oc-
ours in so.called civilized country,
it is rightly attributed to Government
misrule, and so must gross ignorance
and brutal superstition be laid at the
same door. We move toward the
brighter light but slowly. 1t is, as
Huxley said, superstition which
blocks the way of progress. May we
pride ourselves ON the fact that the
last witch in America, an Irishwoman,
was burned 207 years ago?

EXPENSIVE C0NCLAVE.
The Triennial Committee Alone EN-
pended Nearly 100000.

The twenty-siXth triennial cOnclHye cost Il
snug little sum. 70 meet the general eNpen-
-, each of the TO- 3s4 members Of the As sub
ordinate Communicates in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island were assessed 20 per capita,
aud enough more subscribed to bring the to-
tai amount up to nearly so. 900. Ia addition
the local Communicates In and about Boston
maintained spacious headquarters, kept open
house aud entertained the visiting knights ia
lavish style.
The SCI. 600 which the trieunial committee
had was not expended recklessly. No busi-
ness corporation could guard its expenses
more closely than has General Lawrence and
ms ieilOw-committeemen. The six official
grand stands were erected at total cost OF
$1,000 The social functions which the
grand commaudery conducted were most
elaborate. The first Of these was the recep-
tiOn to the members Of the grand encsmp-
ment officers Of the grand Communicates and
councils Of subordinate Communicates on
Tuesday. This was held al Hotel Bruins wick
and 800 invitations were issued.
On Wednesday evening the grand cOm-
mandery gave Il public reception at Me-
chauic Building in honor Of Most Eminent
Sir Hugh McCurdy, grand master and officer
Of the grand encampment to which all Sir
knights IN uniform and their ladies were in
vited. The third function was the banquet Of
the triennal committee to Grand Master Ne
Curdy and officers and members, of the grand
encampment. This was an exclusive affair
and was held at the Nendome.
There were the harbor excursions, which
neoessitated the chartering Of the large
steamboat on Monday Tuesday. Wednes-
day. Thursday and Friday.
Inc amount Of money which was expended
by subordinate commanderles can only be

SUPERB DECORATIONS.
Never Before Have Boston Mer-
chants Made Such Display.

The big business firms about town fairly
outdid themselves in the lavish manner i'll
which they dressed their buildings in honor
Of the visiting Knights Templars. All along
the route of the parade, the stores were
fairly ablaZe with gay cOlored bunting. There
was a far greater variety in the acolors used
than there was duringthe Christian Endeavor
week Then it was the regulation crimson
and white everywhere. Now in addition to
the Templars colors, black and white, the
red white and blue, and many other colors
were introduced in order TO prevent the gen.
eral effect from being too sombre.
OF the many picturesque decorations which
graced the buildings Of Boston, in honor of
the twenty sixth Triennial Conclave of the
knights Templars, none stood out more strik-
ingly or attracted more attention than did
the picturesque garb that adorned the sturdy
old City Hall building on School street
Every section OF the vast granite front
abouuded with flags, streamers and emblems
which united in making scene, the beauty
of which was almost beyond description.
Directly overthe spacious entrance, spanning
it from side TO side, was large white sign,
some twelve feet in length. on the face OF
which was printed in large letters, the fol-
lowing inscriptions: Non Nobis, Domino,
Non Nobs, Sed Namini tuo da Gloriam.
Four large American flags, two on either
side served as draperies for the door.
The historic Old State House at the corner
OF State and Washington streets presented
pretty picture in its holiday attire Over the
front entrance on Washington street, serving
as centrepiece for the front decorations,
was massive painting, representing group
OF Knights Oh horseback. Three large flags,
two the Stars and Stripes and one milk
white. with a crimson cross on its face, pro-
jected from each side of the painting, making
an ideal set piece. I p near the top OF the
building was large seal of Boston, tastily sur
rounded by flags and bunting. Above the
windows on either side of the entrance were
Masonic seals, from which flowed graceful
streamers of red, white, blue and black
hunring

Two storekeepers of Selma, Ala,
have been engaged in novel warfare
for some weeks, and at last accounts
both were getting apprehensive as to
the further developments of the con-
test. The trouble was started by one
merchant making small present of
cake or candy to customers in order
to attract trade. The other merchant
across the street promptly served
lemonade. Then followed, from first
one and then the other, cigars, ice
cream, sandwiches, soup, and an
elaborate free lunch. Next week one
merchant played his trump card by
holding big free barbecue, serving
out three carcasses of beef and hun
dred loaves of bread. At last ac-
counts in the New York Sun he was
holding his breath to see what the
other man would play against him

MODERN KNIGHTS.
Boston the Birthplace of the Great
Order,

Knight Templarism was born in Boston.
Templar Masonrys first appearance in its
modern form was in Boston, when st. An
drews Lodge, working under warrant from
the Grand Lodge of Scotland as chapter,
conferred the order of Knight Templar,
August 2S. 1859.
Indeed, as far as there is any known evil
dence, this was its first appearance any
where. How the ceremonial was obtained
or whence it came does not appear but it Is
a very remarkable fact that the record of that
August meeting contains the first account Of
the conferring ofthe degree of knight Temp
lar that has been found in this country or in
Great Britain.
The problem as to where the members Of
st. Andrews Lodge, Boston, or the High
knights Templar of Ireland, Kilwinning
Lodge. of whom records exist warranting
them assembling as early as October, 1879,
obtained the degree is not definitely solved.
This much. however, is known: 1t was the
custom OF that period in the Mother Country
to have lodges warranted as only Military
Lodges to accompany their reg ments where
sent, and it is also known that Irish regiments
were during I76S and 1869 quartered in Bos-
ton.
The oldest Grand Commandery now ex-
listing is that of Mass. and r. l. Iu MAY,
1905. a grand convention of Knights Tenn
pars was held in Providence, r. l., and 1t
declared it to be its sense, that grand en-
campment be established. At an extra session
of this newly organized grand encampment,
held in October, 1905, application was made
from st. Johns Encampment for u charter
confirming them in their accustomed rights
and privileges agreeable to the constitution.
The charter was granted.
In March, 1906, similar charter of recog-
milton was voted to the Boston encampment,
and at the meeting in Massachusetts of the
same year the grand officers were authorized
and directed whenever the encampments at
! Newburyport and Portland petition for a
! charter to issue the same agreeable to the
| constitution, The Boston encampment
| changed its name and character from Red
| Crossism to Templarism in 1906, thus stand
ing second in age among the encampments
| of the country.
The two leading spirits in the Templar
movement were Thomas Smith Webb
and Henry Fowle, both members Of the
grand encampment of Massachusetts Of 1906
and were active and prominent in the organ.

Says the New York Mercury: Will
liam Waldorf Astor talks about "the
Yankees" as pertly in his Pail Mall
Gazette as if he were De We're of the
bluest Norman blood, instead of being
descended from butchers appren-
tice who landed in America about 100
years ago. Waldorf's discovery that
the Cornell crew are dirty ought to
be rewarded with at least baronetcy
at the hands of the new Tory cabinet.

eight saloons for their especial benefit,

ARTISTIC EVOLUTIONS.
Sir Knights Opened Peoples Eyes
With Their Fancy Drills.

The parade of the Knights Templars was a
revelation to those who are unfamiliar with
this time-honored body. There have been
parades in the past which augmented the
population by thousands, but fade into in
significance when compared with the spec
tacle of an army of Sir Knights in full regalia
No more representative body Of men has ever
gathered together in such large numbers {;
never has there been seen such elegant uni
forms and handsome banners; hundred
bands and drum corps in one line is rarity
and 600 high-spirited, coal-black horses, with
splendid equipments. are not often collected
together.
From the West, especially. came knights
famous throughout the country for their
faultess military and Masonic evolutious,
while from Louisville, Ky, the Little Com
mandery composed OF the thirty boys from
the Masonic Orphans Home surely won the
admiration of the on-lookers by their in
trcate movements. Chief among the dis
play movements was the familiar passion
cross, which is one of the most simple and
effective. The commandry marched in single
ranks when the senior warden placed him
self in front of the right file of the leading
three and shortened his step. The three first
executed right forward files right, closing
upon the warden; third three took one
oblique step to the right and marched
forward so tnat Its number two
closed upon the rear file of the first three,
the second three took fourlengthened oblique
steps to the right and marched forward,
forming in line with the third three; the
fourth three took four oblique heightened
steps to the left and marched forward, form
ing in line with the second and third three
the fifth, sixth and seventh three executed
right forward, files right, closing in column
of files upon number two of the third three
The threes shortened their steps upon arriv.
ing in their places. The junior wardens fol.
lowed In the rear of the column.
The patriarchal cross was more difficult tc
execute, but when formed it was avery prett,
symbol 1t was composed Of a single uprigh
and two cross arms, being equivalent to tive
Greek crosses joined together. The cross o
Salem was an additional cross at its base lik,
the one on top, and formed by similar means

His Excellency the Governor, His Honor the
Mayor, Col. Sidney Hedges, Capt Olys, the
Rev. A. A. Berle andJ. G Morse. The hall was
handsomely decorated. The wines served
were all brought from California by the Wis
itors.
On Tuesday the parade started at 8 a. m.
Twenty-Five thousand sir knights participated
to say nothing of the 1900 musicians and it
took the parade six hours to pass a given
point. The route was long and tedious
one for the older participants. After the
parade the members proceeded to Masonic
Temple and that grand encampment opened
its triennial conclave and continued for four
DAYS.

RED CROSS KNIGHTS.
The 26th Triemnial Conclave of
Knights Templars of Boston.
One ofthr Grandrst Affairs and Most
Gorgeous Sp"ctacIes.

The Goth Triennial Conclave of knights of
Templars held in Boston Aug. %. u, 2s and
2S, has passed into history a. one Of the
grandest affairs and most gorgeous spectacleS
Of modern times Thousands Of Knights
Templars marched in proud review before
thousands upon thousands Of spectators on
Tuesday morning. Such gorgeous specta-
Gle, horse and faot, will not be seen again in
Boston for wears to come.
Commandery drill halls from Maine to
California, for weeks past have been in con.
slant use. and under competent drill masters
the sir knights were put through a course of
sprouts which won for them the enthusias-
tic plaudits OF the multitude on the line Of
march. The street maneuvers included the
formation of variety OF emblems symboical
Of Templarsm, and they were executed with
precision only made possible by clos" az
plication to the practice drills.
