II cannot believe the President will

MAGNIFICENT sPHoTACLE.
The Knights Tempisr Parade During the
Coneiavs in Pittsburg.

Conoinvs in Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 6.-Tbe parade
of the Knights Templar, during the
triennial conclave in Pittsburg, will be
the finest spectacle OF the kind ever
seen in this country.
Gen. j. P. s. Goblin, grand marshal,
has just Issued his general orders and
the general programme of the parade
and the reception to Grand Master
Warren LaRue Thomas. In anticipa-
ton OF an early peace between Spain
and the United States, this display OF
Tsmplar pomp aud grandeur will be
turned into a glorious celebration OF
American victories, congratulation to
the army and navy for magnificent
work accomplished. With this idea in
view, the parade, for the first time in
the history of 1emplarism in America,
will be formed on military lines. Many
of the commanders ami staff officers in
line will be veterans of recent battles
ON sea and land, some OF them the most
notable figures in the war. The parade
will begin to move promptly at a. M,
and will be completed by p. M, on
October 18th. The route selected will
not be over four miles in length from
start to fiuiah. Gen. Gobin's general
order provides in the most complete
manner for a compact and beautiful
lisplay. There will be but ono band
of M usic to each battalion, division or
Grand Commandery, thus obviating
the difficulty heretofore in marching by
the presence in the line of too much
music.
In the evening, a grand reception by
the grand communicates will be given
at ihe building of the Duquesne Sum
mer Gardsn to Most Eminent Sir War
rem LaRue Thomas. grand master OF
the Grand Encampment. This function
will be something new in the history
of oonclaves, and will be confined
strictly to Knights Templar.
