More Newfoundland Bank.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. 29.-The
trustees of the Commercial bank
have made q call upon the share
holders for the full reserve liability
on shares, which amounts to 5000
on each share. Some Of the leading
lawyers say that the shareholders
are not liable to the trustees, and
the latter cannot force the call. 1t
is further contended that the call
was made without direction from
the Supreme court, and will subse-
quently have to be revoked.

Knights Templars' conclave.

BosToN, Aug. 29.-The business
of the Goth tri-enniel conclave of
Knights Templars began in earnest
yesterday by the grand encamp-
ment, while the round of pleasure
was resumed by the great body of
knights with lively enthusiasm.
Sessions of the grand encampment
were held both morning and after

81 ,099; receipts ST., S4S; expendi-
lures $15, 459; balance $2,9SS; net
cash resources, $50, 1903.
The dull gray sky and rain
soaked earth rather dis
couraged the Knights Templars
when they turned out for the day.
The session of the grand encamp-
ment re-opened at Masonic Temple
at 10 a. m. when the election of
officers was taken up.
Right Eminent Sir Warren La
rue Thomas, of Kentucky, was
cleo ted grand master to succeed

hundred and one votes were cast,
of which the successful candidate
received two hundred and ninety
five. Pittsburg was decided upon
as the place to hold the next con-
clave.
Very Eminent Sir Reuben II.
Lloyd, of San Francisco was elect
ed deputy grand commander.
The conclave of the women's
Masonic organization, the order of
Eastern Star, was also formally
opened at Union hall.
All out-of-town excursions have
been numerous and attractive as
yesterday. The Sir Knights of
Arkansas and Texas, with their
ladies, were Welcomed at Lowell
by the directors of the Southwest
ern Telegraph and Telephone COM
pany. Luncheon was served at
Lake View and the party was es-
corted down the Merrimac valley
to Lawrence, from which place the
members returned to Boston.
Some Arkansas Communicates.
and those from Toronto, Canada,
visited Worcester as the guests of
the Worcester county command
ry.
Tonight the exodus of Knights
will begin, several Communicates
leaving for home, and large num-
bers will go tomorrow, but many
of the delegates especially those
from the western states, will dis
band here at the close of the con-
conclave, as a great many of those
Knights intend to remain in New
England for some weeks.

A Camera Fiend Gets . Picture Of the
President and His Wife.
Until recently President Cleveland had
eluded the camera fiend. He and Mrs
Cleveland were caught the other morning,
however, when they least expected it.
They came in from Woodley together about
10 o'clock. An amateur photographer was
at an upper window near the entrance to
the White House waiting. just as Mrs.
Cleveland stepped from the carriage he
took snap shot. He took another at the
pair, who remained behind moment to
give some directions TO the driver.
This amateur went TO the White House
with ''malice aforethought." The taking
of a snap shot at the president il great
offense, and no one is admitted TO the White
House who is known to have any such in
tentions. This does not dampen the am
bition of local amateurs, however. 1t oc-
CURED to this bright young man that if he
could take a station at a certain second
story window commanding view of tho
entrance, about 10 o'clock, one of the
events Of the next hour would be the ar
rival of the president.
He didn't expect TO get a picture of Mrs
Cleveland too. When he saw them both,
he said TO himself, sit never rains but 10
second shot at the president was taken I'M
der difficulties, and the amateur said the
picture would probably represent Mr..
Cleveland having bad attack of ague,--

The city pigeon affords an illustration
Of the radical change which artificial sur
foundings produce in animals and birds.
Naturally one of the shyest Of birds, the
pigeon, after a short experience of urban
life, becomes rs thoroughly at home as the
sparrow. But while sociable and contid-
ing, tie pigeon is never obtrusive or impu
dent, as his little British cousin is. Pigeons
settle down Gu the busiest streets and
gather up the food which is scattered about
in abundance with quick, energetic mo-
ton OF the head, as undisturbed by the
CHATTER Of the forest of horses legs about
them As if they Were in the primeval groves
of their ancestors. Horses in getting at
the bottom Of their MONDAY nosebaas spill
a great deal OF the grain, and the cutters
are fsvorite resorts Tor the birds.
On this account the proposition which
has been ventured on several occasions Of

part of pigeondoIn which has its headquar-
tiers on the roof OF that imposing structure.
This has through many administrations
been fayorite breeding place tor the birds,
and they literally swarm there. They may
be seen all day long futtering among the
capitals OF the pillars or perching on the
head OF Demosthenes or some other of the
stone notables over the entrances Occa-
sionaily in the summer time enc Of them
flies through an open window into one OF
the offices, and on one occasion one Of them
interrupted the proceedings in dry case
OF law by futteripg into one Of the court
rooms.
In the winter time the big warm chin.
neys afford comfortable shelter from the
winds, and the sparrows resort there
good deal also. A good many people in the
outskirts Of town and in the suburbs have
pigeon boxes Ia their barns, but most of
the pigeons down town have nests around
the big elevators. They get fat from the
leakage of the grain cars along the tracks
and are seldom molested by anything more
formidable than the small boy with his
niger shooter" as the elevators are kept

account of the appearance Of d sea serpent
in the waters of Admiralty inlet, but a
few hundred feet from this island. 1t is
seldom that the great unknown has
made his tangible existence manifest in
the presence of more reputable witnesses
than on this occasion, and it is with a
great deal of pride that we offer to the
scientific world so reliable contribution
to the extensive literature ON much moot

"Our witnesses are z. J. Hancock, one
Of our foremost citizens, a deaoon of the
Congregational church and superintendent
of the Sunday school, and Charles Olsen,
another reliable citizen. AS they were
driving along the bluff on the road leading
up to the lighthouse one day last week Mr..
Olsen's attention was attracted by q
strange creature in the water 1t quickly
disappeared, but he directed the attention
of Mr. Hancock to the spot, and soon it re-
appeared in plain view of both of them.
1t displayed large, serpentine head about
inches broad and more than twice as
long neck or more feet long and as
thick as a mans arm and rods of Shiny,
snakelike body IL inches or moro in thick
ness.
''Three or four times it appeared, raising
its head three or four feet out of the water
and diving like porl,oise, az parently roll
ing under each time. Mr.. Hancock thinks
they saw 12 or Is feet of the body, but
each time it disappeared without display
ing its full length. 1t was within 800 or
400 yards of them"
Down on T wharf, In Boston, in the
shop of John r. Neil e. Co., is what the
fishermen firmly believe to be the only and
original sea serpent. 1t was brought in
Monday by the schooner Mary Cabral. 1t
is about 81 feet long. with round,
snakelike body, surmOunted the whole
length by fin inches in height. 1t has
an enormous tail. The jaws, about
inches long, contain three rows of teeth,
the first being about an inch long, and
different from any teeth which any of the
fishermen have ever seen. They are fiat
and biadelike, sharp at the points, almost
translucens and slightly flexible.
