mKNIGHrS 1EMPLAR. n

Of course 1t was hardly possible that the Knights Tenplar could meet in Bos- ton without causing a discussion con- cerning the correct plural form of the name Knight Templar The discussion was on time and has proceeded with as much solemnity and activity as it's i'm portance and the weather warranted. The notion that the Knights Templar themselves should know how they ought to be spoken of when they are spoken of looks plausible. They call themselves Knights Temp1ar. The modern Knights Templar trace their origin to the Knights of the Temple, a small band of soldiers who guarded the pilgrims to Jerusalem and had quarters at the kings palace, close to the site of the temple of Solomon. As there was but one temple the modern Knight Templar order pluralizes the word Knight in it's rituals and literature and not the word Templar. Nearly all the newspapers of the United States use the form printed in the lodge rituals, which is Knights Templar," holding to the view that the word Templar is merely an adjective, telling what kind of Knights they are, and hence cannot be pluralized
 But what would be called the 'tweight of authority is against 'Knights Tenn plar." The Standard Dictionary the Century Dictionary, the Encyclopedia Britannica, Appleton's American Cyclo- lpedia and Websters International Die tionary all agree in giving the plural as Knights Templars." It would be in- teresting to read full exposition of the reasons which governed these authori- | ties in this matter, Knights Templar'' lis smooth and easy to speak. It is also
 defensible on the ground that '"Tem- plar" means pertaining to temple and is thus correctly descriptive of the
 Knights. It is not probable that there will be any change in the accepted way of speaking and writing of the Knights,
 and perhaps the dictionaries and the encyclopedias will change by and by
 Knights Templar" certainly has a more elegant sound than Knights Tenn
 plars."

Shooting n Canadian Rapid.

As we approached, the steersman in the first canoe stood up to look over the course. The sea was high. Was it too high? The canoes were heavily loaded Could they leap the waves? ? There was a quick talk among the guides as we slipped along, undecided which way to turn. Then the question seemed to settle itself, as most of these woodland questions do, as if some si- lent force of nature had the casting vote. "Saultez, sautez!'' cried Ferdi- nand, ''envoyez au larger In a mo- ment we were sliding down the smooth back of the rapid, directly towards the first big wave, The rocky shore went by us like dream; we could feel the motion of the earth whirling around with us. The crest of the pillow in front curled above the bow of the ca noe. "Arrete. arrete, doucement." A swift stroke of the paddle checked the canoe, quivering and prancing like a horse suddenly refined in The wave ahead, as if surprised, sank and flat tened for second. The canoe leaped through the edge of it, swerved to one side, and ran gayly down along the fringe of the line of pillows into quieter water.
 Every one feels the collaboration of such descent. I know a lady who all most cried with fright when she went down her first rapid, but before the voyage was ended she was saying: Count that day lost whose low-de-
 scending sun
 Sees no fall leaped, no foaming rapid
 run.
 It takes a touch of danger to bring out the joy of life.
 Our guides began to shout, and joke each other, and praise their canoes. You grazed that villain rock at the corner" said Jean; didn't you know where it was?"
 "Yes, after I touched it." cried Fer dinand; ''but you took in a, bucket of water, and suppose your m'sieur is sitting on a piece of the river. Is it not?''
 This seemed to us all very merry jest, and we laughed with the same in- extinguishable laughter which a prac- tical joke, according to Homer, always used to raise in Olympus. .-Dr. Henry Van Dyke in Scribner's.

In 1894 only nine deaths occurred out of population of 12,00O persons who tenanted Pentonvlle prison, London. As of these nine deaths probably not one was due to the prison environment, 1t is thus seen that the modern prison is really the type of the healthy home. Life there proceeds with a regularity as regards food, exercise, rest and other conditions of health which cannot be initiated outside the prison walls.

A variation with the same effect, the gauge used matching the roses and the connecting straps being of satin rib bon.
 Another trick to relieve undue slen- derness is pictured here, and lies in the three wide box pleats of the dress goods on the bodice, between which soft white silk shows, being ca2ght In pleats at the neck and waist ana permitted to

The material of this dress is navy blue foul ard figured with white, the skirt is plain and belt and collar are of white satin. The sleeves are finished with draped epaulettes of dark-creanl guip- ure.
 Lovely lawn house gowns, or rather boudoir wraps, are shown set on yoke that follows f1sehu lines over the bust and under the arms, the gown falling free therefrom.

Wire fences are cheap and conven- lent, but they have their drawbacks, and one of the most serious is that they are capital lightning conductors. A few days ago a large herd of cattle, near Topeka, Kansas, were frightened by an approaching storm and rushed through narrow lane. A bolt of lightning struck a fence on the other side of the field, and twenty of the cattle, which were touching the wire, were killed.

w. c. Strivers of Lancaster, Ken lucky. is suing Miss Catharine West for breach of promise. At first the judge decided to try the case with a jury com posed exclusively of women, but after reconsidering the matter the judge came to the conclusion that, as the plaintiff was a man and the defendant a woman, the proper thing to do would be to try the case with six men and six women. The other day the court was informed that the suit had been com promised, but the court would not con- sent. The judge said: T will not take notice of any such settlement. The case will have to be tried, and that by jury composed one-half of women and the other half of men.

early hour any one not knowing what
was up would have been satisfied by the
constant stream of gayly dressed pass
ers-by. all going in the same direction,
that something unusual was expected
The hall was soon filled to it's utmost ca
pacity. The crowd, though large, was
perfectly orderly, and gave eager atten-
ton to the music and recitation, both of
which were fine.
The Montezuma looks quite nice and

BALTIMORE NOT IN IT.
Cleveland Administered Another Severe Drub-
bing to the Champions, Making it
Four Straights.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 5.-Cleveland ad-
ministered the most severe drubbing to
Baltimore today that the Temple cup
series has seen. Young was complete
puzzle. and they faced him like defeated
men from the beginning. The only chance
the pennant winners had to, score was
in the eighth, when they punched their
singles and Keller crossed the plate.
Tebeau's men hit Mcmahon about when
they pleased Six of their seven runs
were earned. Both teams put up mag
nificent games in the field. Mexican and
Kelly made the only errors,and they were
excusable ones. Kelly's was a bad throw
to the plate from centerfeld, on which
Young scored Mexican fumbled hot
grounder. The crowd numbered nearly
$4,000. There were more people on the
grounds than in the stands, and two
base hit ground rule was made. This
robbed Blake of a home run hit in the
seventh. The ball went to centerfield
fence. Hits by Burkett, Childs, Meal
eer and Pat Tebeau and a stolen base by
McAleer netted three runs for Cleve-
land in the first. They made three more
in the seventh on doubles by Blake and
Childs. singles by McGarr and Young
and sacrifice by Burkett. Doubles by
thinner and McGarr accorded the last
run in the eighth. During the game a
diamond stud valued at 5000 was pre-
sented to Mckean ana a handsome bird
gun and case to Cuppy. They were the
gifts of local admirers. The Baltimore
club leaves for home tonight. The
Clevelands leave for Baltimore Sunday.
Although the crowd today was the larg
est that ever attended a ball game in
this city, there was no rowdyism and the
Baltimore players got as fair treatment
as the Cleveland men. The reports that
Baltimore players were assaulted at the
first two games are absolutely untrue
