Yesterday was observed by Twilight
Temple of Honor, No. 20 as Memorial
Sunday, and the graves OF the deceased
members, lying In the different cemeteries,
were decorated. This custom was insti-
tuted by Twilight Temple some years ago,
and annually the members look forward
to II as q sacred duty. The services are
parhaps the most interesting and elaborate
memorial exercises practiced by any Or
ganization In the State. Yesterdays ex-
ercises were no exception to the rule and
favored by good weather the members
sathered at the hall In large numbers to
perform their annual duty.
The departure from the hall was an
nounced to take place at 1880 o'clock, but
owing to the fact that some OF the visiting
brothers did not arrive on time delay OF
an hour was caused. Among the promi-
nent Templars to take part In the exercises
of the day were, d. 4. M. w. T., Henry J.
Duby;, g. w. T., John H. Holden; g. w.
g., Harley Calvin; Past g. w. T., John 8.
Driver and Henry M. Johnson; p. @. w.
". T., H. Tayer; d. g. w. T., James B.
Carter; w. G. IT,, John Mason OF Reliance
Temple, Arkwright; representatives from
Nonpareil Temple, Pawtucket, and South
Star Temple, Providence.
The members of the choir were William
HI. Walker, Frank Butterworth, Thomas
Ashworth, E. H. Thayer and William J.
Briden. The services of the day were COM
menced at the hall and at a certcin point
the meeting closed and the party embarked
In q barge for Moshassuck cemetery where
the services were commenced again at the
point where the adjournment was taken at
the ball. Anyone present, and listening
to the burial ritual could not help being
Impressed by the solemnity Of the occasion
and the earnestness of the members.
One Of final exercises and one OF the most
Impressive parts of the ceremonies at the
:. graves 10 where the members gathered
around the mound Of earth, the roll is
called and when the deceased brothers
name is announced all anwser in unison,
poiting to the grave, "present there" In
turn, each burying ground, Moshassuck,
Mineral Spring, Oak Grove and South At
tleboro were visited and then the final
ceremony was concluded at the hall In the
same manner in which they were opened.
The following Is the list of the deceased
members and the burial places: Moshas-
suck cemetery, John Booth and Jacob
Matteson; Mineral Spring, Philip Clapp;
Oak Grove, Allen Whipple Carpenter, Jer-
emiah A. Sherman and Samuel Wixon;
South Attleboro cemetery, Henry B. Hor-
ton. On the way from South Attleboro to
the hall the party stopped at the Horton
homestead, where a collation. was served
and all were introduced to Mr.. and Mrs.
Horton. A short sacred concert was held
and then the members adjourned to hold
the final services Of the day at the hall.
Broke Into the Store.
The store kept at 492 Broad street by an
Italian was broken into some time Satur-
day night. The break was evidently the
work Of boys.
The entrance was made in the rear
through coal scuttle into the cellar and
thence to the upper floor. The only arti-
cles missing are half q box of cigars and
two boxes of cigarettes. The money drawer
was broken open, but as no money had
been left In It the robbers profited little.
Some time ago several stores were broken
into and some of the boys were caught.
The police are inclined to the belief that
1t may be the remnant of this gang who
did this job.
Forty Hours Alteration.
The beautiful devotion of the Forty
Hours was opened yesterday at the 10 80
mass at Holy Trinity Church. A special
program OF music, under the direction Of
Miss Helen Cooney, was rendered. Rev.
FIR. Redihan was celebrant and Rev. Frs.
Farrelley and Hurley, deacon and sub
deacon. The occasion was made more i'm
pressive by the procession of the Young
Ladies' Sodality and the Children OF Mary.
Rev. b. F. Redihan delivered the sermon,
which treated upon the Importance OF the
festival the church was celebrating.

little time ago II was dollars TO doughnuts
that Daniel II. Ballou would be the man.
The selection has changed somewhat and
he may not be the choice. Walter B. Vim
cents name has been suggested and q
number of the CITY CounciI favor hin, for
