KNIGHTS TEMPlAR.
81. Johns and Calvary Communicates
Attend Church.
interesting Services Held In The Cransion
Street Baptist Church.

Johns and Calvary Commander
les, X. T., attended SPECIAL services at
the Cranston Street Baptist church last
congregation. The Knights Templar
were in full uniform and they occupied
the front pews Rev. NJ. III. Bixby, d.
D., pastor of the church, preached
sermon on THE True Knight" in which
he referred to the origin of knights,
Templar defining their principles and
declaring that Christ is the best eX-
ampie for all true knights and for hu-
manity.
After speaking Of the career of Peter,
the Hermit, and his earnest activity
which resulted in the Crusades, with
10000 followers, DIR. Bixby said, these
men were valiant for the truth. In the
strange movement were enlisted some
of the noblest spirits that ever un-
sheathed a sword. The true knights
ambition was TO be without fear and
without reproach, good soldier of
Christ. He was distinctively and pre-
eminently a Christian. The permanent
heritage which he left is what we have
TO deal with tonight. Fraternity. hu-
man brotherhood and love are also
foundation principles OF the Knights
Templar. Love is the grandest great
est and noblest thing in the world: il
is the fulfilling of the law. Organiza-
tions which perpetuate the spirit of
helpfulness and love are in themselves
noble.
Courtesy, politeness. genthlity. kind
ness, kindly expressed, are those quail
tiles which go to make true knight.
These presuppose true manhood. and a
true gentleman is one who has high
thoughts seated In n soul OF honor The
seventh point of the star Of chivalry
stands for valor--valor for the truth
which defies all temptations. Through
such valor fortresses of evil must be
reduced, and upon IL the future of our
country depends"
Both before and after the sermon
there was special music. both vocal and
instrumental and trombone solos were
given by Mr. Claude w. Spary OF
Reeves American Band.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE losIpuKEu.

Many will doubtless be disappoint-
ed 10 learn that the executive commit
tee OF the Rhode Island sunday School
Association at its Jneeting May de-
cided to postpone the parade OF Sun
day schools till next year; or at least
till fall. The reason for this action is
simply that so large an undertaking
and one so novel in this vicinity re-
quires more careful preparation and
wider advertisement than the time re-
naming this spring allows. 1t is the
desire and intention of the committee
to secure at the outset such hearty
and general cooperation that the first
public demonstration shall be an un-
qualified success. This can be secured,
II is hoped. by another year. No one
who knows what is done in Brooklyn,
New Haven, and elsewhere can doubt
that such a parade may be made an
attractive and helpful feature of the
work OF the Rhode Island Sunday
school. To those who think that the
country schools are behind the times.
Vt will be a surprise to know that they
have been the most prompt and en-
thusfastic i'm their response TO the pre-
liminary announcement OF the plans.

and went TO live with her mother. Mrs.
Guidet, in Newport.
Soon afterward rumors began to be
circulated that Preston was not dead.
and on Jan. 20 last he was discovered

detectives who made the arrest made
a charge of desertion against her hus-

before for the sake OF the reward. but
no one had brought blood. Experienced
hunters had come from a distance. but

New York, May 14.-Detectives again
arrested George Percival Stewart on
Saturday. This time the vice presl-
cent of the defunct American Inves-
tors company was taken into custody
on bench warrants issued by the court
an Steuben county. He was indicted
there by the April grand jury on tes-
timony given by stockholders of the
Hornellsville Rent Purchase society.
Stewart no doubt thinks by this time
that he is a much prosecuted man. He
has been indicted in a dozen counties
and several states. and is now out on
bail half a dozen times over. There is
a case against him in the New York
courts which will be tried this term.
Some time ago Stewart launched
Franco American Automobile COM
pany. which, according to it's circulars,
had the finest motor vehicles made for
sale on partial payments. He adver-
tised for agents and sold them exclu-
sive territory.
There were some complaints, for the
stockholders did not get automobiles
for their partial payments. but re-
ceived bonds OF the company. which,

 The part of North Main street which was recently paved was almost i'm pasSible to-day with the depth of wa ter. It was all over from one end to the other and in some places was two inches deep. Between O'Brien'S bak- cry and Fogg's grocery there was ridge of mud half a foot deep which served as a crossing and was greatly appreciated by everybody. Something appears to be wrong with this job else people would not be forced to wade through a sheet of water two inches deep in some places and not less than one inch in any place.

 Are very numerous at intervals, par ticularly around election time. If a ward heeler is saying good word TOT his fayorite candidate, you can bet your life he'll give the fellow on the other ticket fine old larrupping, and before he is through the poor fellow hasn't a foot to stand on, providing you let the hee1er have all the say. But what does such nonsense amount to! Election day will come and go, and one political party feels as if they got a terrible scalding, while the fellows on the other side are as happy and contented as mortal man can be. But where does the 'humbug" come in here? Why, that's easy. The candi- dates simply promise us anything and every thing on top of. the earth before they are sure of election, but when they get there, there is quite differ ence. We can mind our own business and let them mind theirs. Sec the point? Well, personally speaking, we do mind our own business.
