Thousands of knights Gather In the
Hoosier Capital-Camp Colgrove a Big
Attraction.
indianapolis, Aug. 23.-The biennial
meeting of the supreme lodge, Knights
of Pythias, will begin to-day with
every part of the world where there
is grand lodge represented. The ma
tional encampment of the Uniformed
Rank was formally opened Monday
afternoon and nearly 10000 men are
in camp. The supreme temple, Rath-
bone Sisters, opens Wednesday and
the attendance will be greater than
ever before. The session of the inn
perial palace, Knights of Khorassan,
began Monday and will last four days.
The supreme lodge, Pythian Sister
hood, will open this morning. People
have focked in from all parts of the
country, the trains are loaded with
passengers, and yesterday all of the
16 roads entering the city had numer-
Gus extra and special trains. At 3 p.
m. it was estimated that there were
$4,000 strangers in the city and more
than half as many more are expected
to-day.
Last night Camp Colgrove sheltered
in tents 1860 members of the Uni
formed Rank, an attendance in excess
of the expectations of the executive
committee. This is the largest at
tendance, it is said, that has ever been
present at a biennial encampment Of
the Knights of Pythias.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The First bri-
gade of the First division was reviewed
at Camp Alger yesterday by Gen. Co
bin. From 25 to rs sick and GONZALES
cent soldiers are daily given 30 days
furloughs and passes to their homes.
Since the order directing that the sick
should be sent home upon recovery
was issued, it seems as though every
man in camp is becoming i'll. 1t is
doubtful whether the First division
will be moved to Middletown, Pa, and
everything is being done to make
the men comfortable in their present
quarters.

Tlffany's Design for the Memorial Weapon
is Accepted Simple and Solidly Ele-
giant.
Washington, Aug. 23.-The design
for the memorial sword the govern
ment is to present Rear Admiral
Dewey, according to act of congress,
was determined upon Monday by the
committee having the subject in
charge, consisting of Acting Secretary
Allen, Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, and Prof. Oliver, of the naval
academy.
A great many designs have been sub
mitted, some of them showing much
artistic beauty. The one selected was
submitted by Tiffany & Co., of New
York. The design is less ornate than
some of the others. Its marked char
acteristic is its simple and solid ele-
gance. The hilt of the sword, as
originally submitted, showed an
eagles head, but this was changed to
a plain and solid gold handle. The
blade is "damascened," being subject
ed to that process by which the ia
nous Damascus blades were made.
One side of the blade bears the in
scription: "The gift of the nation to
Rear Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N,
in memory of the victory at Manila
Bay, May 1, 1893" The scabbard is of
dark blue damascened metal with
tracery of gold.

BOileau.

Although the satires of Boileau were
largely suggested by what had been effect
ed in that direction by the ancients-in-
deed the subjects of some We're directly
taken from writings that have come down
to us-yet he managed to make them per-
fectly original. The outlines we're Latin,
but the details entirely French. His versi-
1leation and general style were considered
extremely good. The following opinion OF
NJ, Demogeot may be held 10 express the
estimate formed by the fairest judges.
After remarking that Boileau had appre-
hended and emphasized the most vital
character of the national taste-nanely, q
raillery founded on intelligent good sense,
and after declaring that the ancient French
shirt of Villon and Marot had been en-
nobled by the language Of the classics, and
the elegant niosties of the age OF Louis
| XIV, SO that Boileau's real position was
that of bourgeois of Paris in the grand
gallery of Versailles, he adds: His critic
ism was clear, simple, accessible to all;
negative rather than suggestive, reducing
the prin ciples Of art to those of common
sense. 1t was piquant, full of raillery and
delicate malice and cnlivened by personali-
ties. In truth, 1t delivered its precepts in
imperishable verses brilliant alike from
imagery and pregnant meaning, and con-
densing what was desired to be said into
proverblike expressions, to be received
without remonstrance and remembered
without difficulty. "-Gentleman Maya

The InstaIIment Plan.

Sometimes without doubt, American
and British judges who are held to a close
accountability to the letter Of II law which
may have In it no justice for particular
case may we'll sigh for the latitude OF an
oriental cadi. Sometimes, moreover, they
may rightfully bend the administration Oh
the law in the direction of absolute JUS
tice.
An English paper, for instance, records
q peculiar decision in the suit of usurer
against a poor woman. The man had lent
the woman money in such way that 1t
was to be paid in installments and with
monthly usurious interest. The woman
was unable to pay the amount due,
The Judge satisfied himself that the
woman was honest and honorable and
that what she had already paid in INSTALL
ments would cover the original loan ana
a reasonable interest.
"Will you accept 20 in discharge" asked
the Judge of the plaintiff. "You will then
have had 10 per cent on the loan.
The plaintiff would accept nothing less
than tho full amount to which the law
entitled him.
"Then, " said the judge, although l
cannot invalidate. the agreement, | can
make AN order which think will fit the
case. l give Judgment for the full amount,
to be paid at the rate Of sixpencea month.
This was the "installment system with
vengeance, for at this rate Of payment
