 Thus far the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company and the Soss Iron and Steel company have each donated $50 for the fund. and the city of Birmingham has promised $100 Besides this only about S75 has been given. The most surprising part of it all is that not even the manufacturers will donate their manufactured articles to be placed in the exhibit although they will be given credit for them. But not even ths advertisement seems inducement enough. It has not yet been decided whether the exhibit will be given upor not.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR IN THE ARMY
A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, says:
All of the social functions, including
the grand ball and pleasure excursions
incident to the Knights Templar's til
ennial conclave, which is to be held
here during the week of October 10,
may be declared of on account of the
war. 1t would have no effect on the
conclave in the matter of business con-
uected with the meeting, as the grand
encampment is set date, but from the
fact that over 1000 members of the frs
ternity are enlisted as soldiers in the
national guard and regular army,
many of the pleasures of the week
would be cut. aud the conclave would
conine itself to the mere transaction of
business.
