tlcipating in the demonstration with
the organization on this side of the
river. The program provides for a
street parade in the morning, headed
by Blcuer's band, but arrangements
have been under consideration for a
few days looking to the consolida-
ton of the two professions on that
day, the labor and the German, and
such an arrangement may be carried
out tonight. If not there will be
two different parades.
The Platt-Deutsch organizations
in the cities of Rock Island and Dav-
export were formed four years ago
and one may be instituted in Moline
next year. 1t now embraces 800
members in Davenport and 160 in

EVERTS At BOSTON.
Rock Islands ~Commandery Does Itself
Proud at the Huh.

Everts' commandery No. Is.
Knights Templar, is now %journeying
homeward from the Boston conclave.
OF the arrival of the Rock Island
party in Boston, the Boston Globe of
Monday evening had in connection
with an excellent likeness of Eminent
Commander H. c. C~leavelaud, the
following:
"One of the largest delegations
which has been sent from Illinois
arrived this morning. This is the
Everts' commandery, No. IS, of Rock
Island, Ill. The party vas sched-
uled to arrive yesterday morning.
but by a constant series of most ex-
%asperating delays they did not arrive
until o'clock this morning.
The train consisted of five Pull
mans and three accommodation
coaches. 1t was originally in
tended that they should come into
Boston on the tracks of the
New York & New England railroad.
but owing to the constant blockades
all along the line of that road the
train was brought in over the Fitch
burg tracks. Everyone was enthu-
~siastic. and had only words of praise
for what they had seer at the hub.
The total number of Sir Knights in
the party was so. and one of the most
ordinary features of the whole con-
clave is that the total number of la
dies exceeded that of Sir Knights by
10, the number of the latter reaching
GO. On arriving at union station
they were given a royal send of, as
their fine appearance elected consid-
cradle favorable comment. After
forming in parade order they made a
march through the principal streets
under the escort of a delegation of
Sir Knights from the Boston Grand
commandery.
"After passing in review before the
Masonic temple they we're conducted
to their headquarters at hotel Cluny,
513 Boylston street. During
the week their headquarters
will be at this place, but the Sleep
ing quarters will be on the special
train of eight sleepers. Sir Robert
c. Willerton, recorder of the COM
mandery, when seen this morning.
said that they he'd had a very pleas
ant trip. excepting that their train
was too heavy by far, which caused
a great deal of Inconvenience. The
train came over the regular scenic
route. which has proven so popular,
which includes a trip through the
mountains of Pennsylvania and
southern New York, and thence to
Niagara Falls and through the White
mountains. At all of these places
stops were made and an opportunity
given to view everything of interest.
A large number, of the party are
eastern born people. and this is the
first time that they have returned to
the east for many years.
The party was headed by En-.
Sir Henry c. cleveland, who will
also act as executive officer"

Short Sketch of the Life OF the Deceased
ents and Wife At His bedside The Flu

Monday afternoon and his condition
was alarming from the first. At

ryman, called DIR. G. l.. Eyster into
consultation, and while he rallied and
recovered consciousness under the
faithful care and skill of the physi-
clans. he has at no time been con-
sidered out of danger, and since
yesterday he has been sinking grad
ually. This morning he lost con-
seriousness and remained SO until the
final summons came.
Mr.. Gore came to Rock Island
about four weeks ago in his official
capacity of building aud loan ass scis-
tion examiner, and was progressing
with his duties as regards the three
associations in Rock Island when the
final illness came upon him. With

Rock Island, he has made many
friends who have watched with keen
interest for tidings from his bedside
since he became ill. He was natur-
ally bright, an unusually capable
accountant and had made a record
for himself in the duties to which he
had been devoting himself in the
states service.

From Harper's Bazaar.
In this day we are undoubtedly fortunate
in that we have laid aside Ereat deal
that was Objectionable in customs and hab
its fifty years ago. But have we not also
done away with much that was very
sweet and lovely? One of the most no
ticcable and perhaps most objectionable
changes that has taken place is that the
young person of today lacks the respect for
oge that characterized the young person Of
half q century ago. Then the girl who
I'D not show proper reverence for the gray
haired man woman was considered i'll
bred and urmanrerly.
Now. too often, youth is ntoier.nt of old
age. The modern girl smiles lofty superior
ity at the opinions advanced by her grand
mother, Or even by her mother. She has
no patience with what she terms odd fash
iorCd notions" OF course, there are eX-
ceptons to this rule even in this day of the
supremacy of the young person. There are
few girls who have not forgotten the
consideration due those who. although they
may not belong to the advanced school
of ideas and beliefs, still merit love and re-
spect, because they have lived and toiled
through the life upon whose threshold our
girls are only standing. The coming wo-
man would do well to add to her other ac-
complishments that of giving a grateful
word to those who have helped her, and who
are always willing to give her a ''God-speed"
on the journey she is beginning.

DADO OF PHOTOGRAPHS,
Ways TO Make the Most of Your Col

From, the New York Herald.
Picture framing is always expensive. One
frame is not such an item, but when il
comes to a dozen photographs, water colors
or engravings one stands aghast at the
total cost. In many new houses frames so
in with the rent, so to speak.
In rooms which wainscoted lengths
ing forms the base of the frame and an
other meldng is placed at the top to hold
the glass. How dear to the heart are the
hundred photographs collected abroad.
What mere calculated to give constan:
joy than these 'all in a row" around the
library or over a book shelf in ones owT
