has, however. been suggested that an In
vitation be extended this year, and while
II does not now seem probable that the
invitation will be given al this session,
there is at least possibility of 1t.
PITTSBURGS HOSPITALITY.
Pittsburg has been trying for many
years to secure the encampment, ana
now that she has succeeded she Is doing
oil that in her power lies to make 1t the
erandest yet held. and while the Sir
Knights who visited Boston three years
I 20 say that it will be difficult, indeed,
discount the entertainment there pro-
idcd, the Pittsburg knights say they
VIII do so, and it seems to be likely that
hey will put their boast into execution.
Both Pittsburg and Allegheny, its sister
city, will be emblazoned with an cleo
tricaI display during the conclave that
will surpass any similar Examinations
ever attempted, it is claimed. 1t Is ex-
pected that the two cities will present a
dream of lights dazzling in design, novel
in their equipment. and the acme OF per-
lection, as far as the work OF the cleo
trical craftsmen Is concerned.
Thus far. thirty-nine electrical arches
OF various sizes have been contracted Tor.
There are to be three sizes or ordinary
arches. They are TO be respectively 3S.
80 and 60 feet high. The only material
difference in their general construction
will be the emblems to be placed at the
apex and the change in the color OF the
lights There will be ten Of the 3S-foot
arches, which will have 125 lights each.
or the 50-foot arches there are to be
eight. with 80 lights each, while the 60
foot arches will be supplied with ls5 lights.
THE SWORD ARCH.
One of the grandest Examinations is
TO be the sword arch. 1t will probably
be located at the Schenley Park entrance.
IL will consist of four huge swords, the
points of each being on the ground at
the corners of the street The handles
OF the swords are TO run diagenally nigh
up in the air and cross in the centre OF
the block The handles are to be en-
twined with the crown insignia OF the
order.
The Passion Cross, which is to be To-
Gated on the side of the hill on Mount
Washington, will be one Of the sights
of the conclave. All in all. the decora-
tions to be provided for by the COM
mittee will be costly. Daily additional
ideas are being developed. BY the time
the conclave begins Pittsburg will be
clad in garments OF attractlveness,
magnifcence. and splendor pleasing 10
the eye and far-reaching In erect
There are a number Of Examinations In
contemplation, and when all the de-
tails are completed will cause general
surprise and wonder at the skill and
good taste of Pittsburg brain and capital.
AN ILLUMINATED KNIGHT.
There is in contemplation one Of tine
most colossal displays ever seen in the

country. BY reason OF the natural ad-
vantages offered by Monument Hill, in
Allegheny, negotiations are pending
for a mammoth illuminated picture of a
mounted Knight. The expense con-
nected with the erection of the insignia
and keeping it illuminated is one now
being considered by the committee and
contractors.
on the face OF the south side Of the
hill there is TO shine a Knight on
horseback. He will be astride mag
nificent steed, carrying the banner OF
the Red Cross His face and head will
be covered by the traditional helmet
and visor. The accoutrements OF the
steed are to be in red, in harmony with
color on the banner.
IL will be seen by the thousands who
cross the bridges connecting Pittsburg
and Allegheny in that vicinity. 1t is
expected to make this display one OF the
masterpieces of the great conelavs.
A PEACE JUBILEE.
In view of the prompt and happy ter
mination Of the Hispano- American war,
IL had been suggested that the parade
and review take the form of great peace
patriotic jubilee, in celebration OF the
great victories achieved against Spain,
i'm which the President and his Cabinet
and other prominent members OF the
national administration be invited to par
ticipate in their Official capacity, to-
gether with the more prominent leaders
of the army and navy. and representa-
tive military bodies from the several
States, as well as the executive heads

Rcception to Students,

The young people Of the Second Baptist
church rendered the students OF Rich
mond College. the two medical colleges,
and the business colleges of the city a
reception in the lecture-room OF the
church last evening, which was truly
enjoyed by those who gave and those
who received.
All these institutions were well repre-
scented. They were cordially welcomed
by Rev. DIR. W. r. l.. Smith. pastor OF
the church, and Mr.. William Ellyson, the
superintendent Of the Sunday school.
There was some good music, and refresh
ments were served by young ladies OF
the Sunday school. The affair. altogether,
was appropriate. and will do much TO
accomplish Its charitable purpose. making
the stranger, whether man or maiden, fell
more at home and less lonely In a
strange, large city.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

lts Excessive ises
Common soda Is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes but 1t was
never intended for a medicine and peo-
pie who use 1t as such will some day re-
greet it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a
habit which thousands Of people practice
almost daily, and one which Is fraught
with danger; moreover. the soda only
gives temporary relief, and In the end the
stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant TO the walls OF the stomach and
bowels, and cases are on record where
1T accumulated in the intestines, causing
death by inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large D-grain lozenges. very
pleasant to taste, and contain the natural
acids, peptones, and digestive elements
essential to good digestion. and when
taken after meals they digest the food
perfectly and promptly before 1t has
time TO ferment, sour, and poison the
blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases OF stomach arrangements. and
finds them certain cure, not only for
sour stomach. but by promptly digesting
the food they create healthy appetite,
increase flesh, and strengthen the action
of the heart and liver. They are not a
cathartic, but intended only for stomach
diseases and weakness and will be found
reliable in any stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 80 cents per package

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
