LARGE Barn Burned.

George N. BENEFITS large barn and
sheds, on his farm near Chesapeake City,
were burned on Monday evening. Fire
was discovered about O'Clock, and the
flames gained quick Roadway, but all live
stock was removed. About 10 tons of hay
and 100 bushels of corn. and some nipple
ments left there after the recent public
sale, were destroyed. A little boy living
with Mrs. ,Maloney on the farm was
missing since the fire and it is the sup
position that he persisted in the flames.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The
loss is estimated at $1,000. Insured in
the Royal of Liverpool, England, for
81, 900, and the contents in the Pennsylva-
mia, of Philadelphia for $3.50.
P.S The colored boy who was thought
to have persisted in the burning barn

Knights" The council of Trayes,
composed of the bishops of the church,
promulgated in 1928 the seventy-two
rules of discipline, which have ever
been the groundwork of the ritual of
the order. The threatened supremacy
of the knights, however, soon excited
the fear and emnity of the kings and
the pope, and the latter half of the
twelfth century persecution began.
They were accused of treachery, of
deals with the enemies of Christen-
dom and what not. In 1166 twelve were
hanged in Jerusalem. But the Turks
began to threaten, the valor of the
Knights of the Temple was needed,

The ecclesiastical council in Paris,
which met in 1911, by order of the
pope, confronted De Molay and Guy,
commander of Normandy, with their
alleged confessions. There was a dra-

Of Notre Dame, when both the accused
knights publicly denied these confess
sions and praised the order The
council hesitated. Philip didn't The
next day, at vespers, he had the two
prisoners taken to an island in the
Seine, near his palace, and there, in
the twilight, they were burned to death
over fires of charcoal.
This awful crime cast dismay into
the ranks of the order. 1t rapidly
dispersed, and even in England was
compelled to relinquish all its possess
sions. The formal edict abolishing the
order had been issued by a private
papal consistory. The order of the
Temple was no more
There is good authority for suppos-
ing that many of the dispersed mem
berS of the order found refuge in the
lodges of the Operative Masons, then
very powerful all over Europe, and
who had been intimately associated
with the knights in the construction
OF their palaces. In this safe refuge
many OF the customs and traditions of
the order We're preserved, until, in
England, in 1740, and in America, in

Templary from the sheltering folds of
the Masonic order, of which now it has
become one of the higher ranks. Since
then it has steadily grown, especially
in this country, where the ritual and
the military spirit is peculiar, from the
first convention of 1916, when 500
knights were all that could be found
