NIHILISTS,

Recent Disturbances in Russia Have
Led to an Alarming Revival.
London, March, 23-A dispatch from
st. Petersburg states that the recent dis
turbances in Russia have been auelled
for the time being. There is however no
abatement of the causes which led the
agitation. An attempt to organize
revolution has proved futile but on the
other hand there is an alarming revival
of the Nihilists. 1t states the Nihilists
recently decided to make no direct at
tempts against the Gar but to kill his
ministers.

WORK OF MALTA.
Masonic Event at Fargo in Which
Hundreds Of knights Templar Par

Masonic Event at Fargo in Which
Hundreds of Knights Templar Par
ticipated.
Fargo Forum: The interior of the
new Masonic Temple was the scene of
ceremonial last night which will be
real red letter event in the memories of
the Knights Templar of this state who
were so fortunate as to be able to be
present. Upwards of 200 knights par
ticipated in the opening ceremonies.
This oauspicious Masonic event was
the exelnplification in full form of the
Order of Malta, under the direction of
DIR. Hingeley, by Auvergne Command
cry of Fargo. 1t was given in full and
elaborate ceremonial form. Nearly 500
knights witnessed the elaborately ap-
pointed and spectacular scenes from the
floor and balconies of the big audi
torium.
Eminent Sir Knight Hingeley of Zion
Commandery No. 2 Of Minneapolis was
ably assisted by Sir Knight Hill of
Auvergne Commandery. To the latter
large measure of credit is due for the
perfecting of the most important Masonic
event ever witnessed in Fargo or even in
the northwest.
Not the least important feature in the
ceremonial was the music which was of
high cathedral order. 1t was supplied
by selected voices from the choir of
Gethsemane Cathedral and they were
augmented by voices from other of the
city choirs, all under the direction OF
John E. Greene. The music is said to
have been simply rich and glorious and
made great impression. So long was
the procession that the professional
hymn, 1.-THE Son of God Goes Forth tc
War;" had to be sung over four times
In short all the music was we'll nigh
perfectly rendered.
Of the solo work perhaps special refer
ence should be made to the solo sung by
Mrs. Grace Lincoln Burnham and alst
one sung by Ernest Orchard, both O.
which were very beautiful.
Bishop EdsalI, on whom the degret
was exemplifed, when asked how bel len
joyed the event, said:
II can only say that it was an mex
pressibly beautiful and solemn religious
service, in which, with the aid of histori
cal suggestions, sacred music and art, tht
fundamental truths of Christianity were
indelibly impressed upon the mind anc
heart. No reverent and sine re- maj
could witness or participate in service
of this character without being strengh
thened in his faith and loyal allegiance
to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
