ing considered that the tumult caused was
hardly consistent with the sanctity of the
abbey. A further ceremony of interest that
took place in 1898 was the redeeming of
the sword of state with a hundred shill-
1ngs, that being performed by Lord Mel
bourne, the then prime minister, who was
to prove such true friend and counsellor
to the late queen.
Effect of Mourning on Trade.
Notwithstanding the interval Of mourn
ing, 1t is leaking out that his majesty, rec
ognizing the disturbance of trade by the
illness and death of her late majesty, is
personally anxious to give an impetus to
our usual summer celebrations as far as
is within his power. From this 1t may be
inferred that. beginning with June. we are
to see a good deal of their majesties in
public. AS King of England it is no longer
possible, as was the case when he was
Prince of Wales, tO<invite Edward VII to
this great house or that, or this dance OF
the other. His majesty will signify to her
grace or my lady that he will be pleased
to visit her. He can in fact, command
whatever Inequalities he may wish to
share.
1t will obviously be one thing entertain
ing the king and queen and another enter
tanning the Prince and Princess Of Wales.
The expenditure will be much greater
that it is conceivable we may hear of this
duke and that marquis earl hoping to
be saved from visit from their majesties.
This, no doubt, is taking a sordid view of
what is due to royalty, but history is full
of the havoc wrought by the entertain
ment of the late sovereign. However. King
Edward is such a man of tact that he will
discriminate among his entertainers, and
he is pretty certain also to regulate the
scale of his entertainment.
There is always something fascina ting
about stories of buried treasure, and the
idle and imaginative have always preferred
that way of making fortune to more la
bOrious or humdrum methods. But 1t is
rather curious to find sober minded an
individual as the Duke Of Argyll associated
with a tale that recalls Captain Kidd and
a dozen old legends. However, it is about
his name that the rumor circles -,hich is
Just now exercising the good folks on the
west coast Of Scotland. for 1t IS in Loeb
Duan, on the sound of Null, that the sunk
en- treasure is believed to lie. A Spanish
vessel was blown up at Tabermory in some
very remote days, SO remote that it is $50
wears since the then Marquis Of Argyll
began looking for 1t. Sundry successors
have gone on looking at intervals. The
present duke himself made search before
he came to the title, but found nothing bet
ter worth having than a brass stanchion.
The story goes that he means TO try again
this summer and has good hopes of success
this time. l.. H. MOORE.

THE GREENsBURG HOME.
Visitors Much Pleased with the Insti-
tutiOn-A Misunderstanding.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
GREENSBURG, Ind, Sept. 1S.-A delega-
ton of members of the Grand Lodge Of
Odd Fellows and the Rebekah assemblies
came down from Indianapolis to-day to
visit the /. o. o. +. home. The first train
arrived at S:45 and did not bring down as
many people as was expected The noon
train brought in a good delegation and the
visitors were driven to the home one mile
east OF the city. where they spent about
two hours in going through the depart
ments of that magnificent institution. All
the visitors were much pleased with the
home and its surroundings Members of
the Grand Lodges of Illinois. Ohio, Michi-
gan. New York and Minnesota were in the
delegation None of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge officers was here.
Senator G. G. Binkley, of Richmond a
member of the home committee came i'm on
the first train TO assist in getting things
ready for the visitors Mrs HOgate, of
Danville, and Mrs. Wray Of Shebyville,
members of the home committee came in
on the noon train and were soon busy
showing their friends through the home
Mr.. Binkley said the committee found
everything moving along nicely and the
members were well pleased with the man
agement of the institution. The home has
about sixty inmates, old persons and chill
dren, and they are all we'll dressed have
plenty to eat and are kept scrupulouslv
clean and neat. The inmates, as a rule
seem to take much pride i'm keeping things
in good order in and around the building.
Mrs. Mary Lewis, the matron. is very popu-
lar with the inmates and with the citizens
of this place.
Some surprise was expressed by the Wis
itors to-day because Philo Lodge. No ~
of Rebekahs, did not turn out I'm a body
to welcome the visitors. Several members
met the visitors at the trains but there
was no general turnout of the order. The
Rebekahs say that they were not notified
of the visitors coming by the Grand Lodge
officers until il was too late TO make any
concerted preparations for the event. They
did not know how many people were COM
ing, or what was expected of the order
here. Inquiries were made of Grand SEQ
rotary Leedy, but it seems that he over
looked the matter of sending Instructions
to the lodge here in regard to the matter
a large number of the Rebekahs went TO
the home to assist Mrs. Lewis in entertain-
ing the guests.
Greensburg is proud of the home 1t took
a great deal OF hard work and expense to
secure il and get it started, but the city
would not have il taken away for twice
its cost. 1t is located on a beautiful site
east of the city, about quarter of q mile
from the Big Four Railway and has proved
a great attraction to visitors in the city

session until after o'clock. 1t is believed
the Grand Lodge of Indian Territory will
at once avail itself of the privilege con-
ferred by the new constitutional amend
ment.
When the vote for the location of next
years meeting of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge was taken a surprise was sprung by
the delegation from Baltimore, Nd, pro-
posing that city as the place to hold the
meeting The understanding heretofore
has been that Des MOines. Ia, and Eureka
Springs. Ark. were the only contestants
for this honor Although Baltimore en-
tered late in the race, il secured 6S votes to
III for Eureka Springs. which has been in
the fight from the beginning of the present
meeting Des MOines, Ia, however, cap
tured the plum with los votes.
A number of other constitutional amend
ments were proposed, but the Grand Lodge
voted TO postpone them indefinitely, which
meant practically their death. Among these
was a provision for biennial instead OF an
nual sessions of the grand body. Another
sought TO make membership of the canton
degree a requisite for appointment as grand
representative. Grand representatives at
present need only 10 be members of the
subordinate lodge. the Rebekah and the
encampment. The Indiana representatives
favored an amendment to limit the terms
of grand representatives to one instead of
two years Still another of the slaughtered
amendments sought TO cut down the mile
