 BOSTON, Aug. 3O.-The triennial con- clave of the Knights Templars is at an end, and the thousands of visitors are fast leaving the city today. Many delegations of Templars left for their homes last night, and others departed early this morning. Many of the delegates returned in parties or individually. But few communicates will return with their full number of members, as some prefer to remain longer than others.
 Thero were many entertainments and receptions again last night at the different headquarters. Tho event of the evening was the entertainment and banquet given by the directors of tho Southwestern Tel egraph and Telephone company to tho knights and ladies of Texas and Arkansas at the American House.

 Mrs. Chapius felt n shock and put her hands to her eyes to protect them from the light. When she removed them, she found she could not see. She was stone blind and had to be assisted to her home. By medical aid her sight has been partial ly restored, but the attending physician says sho will never recover her full sight.

Campos Wanted Dynamite Too,


 NEW YORK, Aug 3O.-The Villaverde belongs to the Spanish Transatlantic line and was chartered by Captain General Campos for his personal use during the campaign in Cuba.
 She arrived here Aug. 19 from Havana and went into drydock in the Erie basin, where her hull was scraped, some paint was put on and she received some minor repairs. It was given out that she came here simply to be painted, but that expla- nation of her unexpectea coming did not satisfy those who reasoned that it was long distance to travel merely for coat of paint.
 A story got abroad and found ready credence that when General Campos saw the terrible destruction the insurgent Gen. eral Roloff was causing with dynamite in wrecking railway bridges disabling pub lie works and demolishing Notifications, he determined to get some Of the terrible explosive immediately for the Spanish troops to use, and that he sent the Villa verde here after it. When she sailed from New York Aug. 21, it was stOutly asserted that she had on board a ton of dynamite.
 Sho made the trip from Havana to New York in five days. Therefore. she should arrive in Havana on her return by the 26th.
 FiIibusters Land In Cuba.
 Since Captain Roloff ran the blockade of tho Spanish around the island of Cuba there has been no news of further attempts to land arms and am unition for the aid of the insurgents untl- yesterday. For the last two weeks Cuban headquarters at fl Broadway, have been deserted, and appa-- ently the Now York leaders had abandoned their work.
 There was an unusual stir yesterday, T %I 4 Ion York agents had just received word of the successful landing of one of the most i'm portant filibustering expeditions that has been fitted out during the present war. The news received was ncager, but it is said that the leaders in this city knew of the expedition and all the details,
 The Cuban leaders here say the expedi- tion in question left Philadelphia on Aug. 21, and the landing was made in Cuba four days later. The vessel used was a swift cutter rechristcned the Cerra. The expedition was in charge of Captain Fran cisco Sanchez Escheverra, it is said,
 Captain Escheverra is 50 years old and a veteran of the last Cuban uprising. He landed successfully two fllihustering ex- petitions in Cuba in 1870 and in 1871. Second in command wa Ralez Timerro. A physician with the expedition is named Dr. LizZato, and one of the volunteers was Alvcraz Gomez, book publisher.
 The expedition cleared from Philadel- phia at noon on the day mentioned. Her clearing papers stated that she carried a general cargo of merchandise and was bound for Cuban ports. The vessel, it is said, carried five field pieces, two howit- gers, 5000 rifles and 200, 900 rounds of ammunition. There wcro only 50 men in the party, but a great quantity of medi- cine and field apparatus was taken, and the insurgents stand more in need of this today than in the need of men.

Labor Day

Should be observed as a Holiday. not only by those who live by the sweat of their brow, but also by those who live on the fat of the land.

It becomes. therefore, the duty of every man to show the inn portance of Labor's holiday by appearing on that day in your best clothes. If you have not got any it is because you are not up to date. It takes very little money to buy a suit of clothes from us, for on our plan you can dress in the finest clothing. ranging in price from S6 to $40, on easy payments. No security required.
