The Great TempIar Display at Boston.

Extensive preparations are being made
for the twenty-sixth Triennial Conclave
of knights Templar of the United States,
which will be held in Boston during the
week commencing August 9th. Boston
will be the scene of the largest assem-
blage of Knights Templar which has ever
been held in this country. 1t is estimat-
ed that fully 200, 900 visitors will be pre-
sent during the week.
Lambertville will be represented by
| about 80 members. Palestine Comman
derry, of Trenton Helena Commandery,
| No. 8, of Burlington Ivanhoe Comman-
derry, of Bordentown, and St. Elmo Com
mandery, of this city, will leave Trenton
at 7.6o A. NJ. on Monday, August Goth,
on special train of eight cars. They
will be joined at Railway by the Corson

st. Johns Cemmandery, of Elizabeth,
and Trinity Commandery, of Plaipfleld,
at Elizabeth. ST. Elmo will leave this
city at 7 A. M.
The party Will GO to Boston without
change OF cars. The train will be taken
from Jersey City, on the steamer Mary
land, which will convey it by way of the
East river TO Harlem. AT Harlem the
train will be transferred to the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
and will then go direct to Boston.

point. 1t will be accompanied by 200
bands and will be reviewed at several
places by prominent Templars. On the
day OF the parade all the stores in Boston
will be closed and the day observed as a
holiday.
| An idea of the extent OF the arrange
ments which have been made may be
gathered from the fact that fully 5000, 000
will be spent by the people Of Boston in
eniertaing the guests. DeMolay Com
mandery alone has contributed $40, 00O
| for the purpose. The Public Gardens OF

signs of the knights Templar and Mason
| ic emblems.

ranged for the week contains number
OF attractions for each day. Excursions
on the bay and to the many points OF in
terest around Boston have been arranged,
and day and night will be one continual
round of festivity.

S. A. Finger is in the midst Of his
special August sale. There is no attempt
at selling shopworn or out-of-date goods
at 'half-price, or other lodges Of that
sort, which are resorted TO by big city
houses to catch green customers, but all
goods in the store-those just put in and
all the large stock of up-to-date goods OF
all kinds, are sold at 10 per cent. of the
usual price, which price is as low as they
can be bought elsewhere. So il you want
real bargains, lay in your stock during
August. After this month the prices will
be regular.

Sunday Rackets.

Last Sunday appeared to be set apart
by the rough-scuffs of this city for some
very disgraceful performances.
One party went out from this city and
located near the residence of Thco. Smith,
carrying beer, &C., and big drunk was
INDUCED in, finally ending In u fight, In
which two or three men fell on one aud
badly beat him.
A second party, composed OF younger
material, went up near Bovine Station,
where they spent the day riotously, and
abused the horse they had hired at a liv-
cry stable 10 a shameful manner. Com.
ing home they broke their carriage into 9
bad wreck by some of their drunken an
tics, and left two beer keys In the street
as reminders of their disgraceful way oil
spending the Lords day.
The beer for these rackets was furnish
ed, on Sunday, we are told, by one of oul
licensed ''hotel" keepers.
The only way to deal with these men II
10 have them indicted. But we forget
The county court has decided that yor
can't indict man for selling intoxicating
drinks in this city, and 1t is therefore
doubtful IL man can be indicted fo
getting drunk on non indictable whiskey

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed a great deed of charity, al
though it was not designed as a charity,
being nothing more nor less than an adj
vertising scheme. 1t however resulted in
great good just the same. They gave
away 1000 bottles of their Digestive Cor.
dial to those suffering from stomach de-
rangcments.
1t was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they we're loud in
their praises OF it and in consequence O
large demand for the cordial was at once
created.
The druggists of this town have little
books that tell about it. Digestive Cor
drial creates an appetite, aids digestion
and brings about rapid increase in flesh
and strength.
