tertain at St. Luke's parish house;
Itadosh and st. Adams communicates,
of Philadelphia, at the Jermyn, and
Dieu lie Veut commandery, Of Wilkes
Barre, at Guernsey hall, Washington
avenue. Baldwin II commandery, Of
Williamsport, will entertain at the
Scranton house with band concert
by the celebrated Fish Military band,
of Williamsport. There will also be
continuous run of informal concerts,
serenades and exchanges of visits dur
ing the afternoon and evening. 1t can
be taken for granted that the central
city today will be filled to overf1owing
with music and sociability.
Gethsemane commandery, No. IS, of
York, will attend the conclave in a
body and will participate in the par
ade. They will leave York this morn
ing at 10 o'clock and will come by way
of Sunbury, arriving here at 5.24 p. IN.
Quarters have been secured at the
Hotel Gunster, AS Mulberry street.
Temple commandery, No. 60, of
Tunkhannock, will arrive this after
noon and will have headquarters at
the Valley house. 1t will be accom-
panied by the Leek Cornet band, of
Pittston. A large percentage Of its
seventy-four members will attend. The
most prominent men of Tunkhannock
and vicinity are members of this COM
mandery.
The parade tomorrow morning is to
be made especially attractive by novel
feature introduced at the suggestion Of
Grand Commander Penman: After the
formal review takes place, the forty
bands will mass and the sir knights
will form in solid body, with the
banners assembled in one great group.
The reviewing stand will be passed a
second time, with all the bands play
ing in concert an arrangement of "On-
ward Christian Soldier and "Ave
Marie" the music for which was sup
Piled each bandmaster two weeks ago.
The commandery sessions will be
made especially important by reason
of the fact that amendments to the
are to be passed upon.
There will be probably some enliven-
ment added to the sessions by reason
of the fact that three very popular
Templars from three different parts of
the state are being discussed for the
office of grand junior warden, the one
office for which there is an actual cleo
tion. There three are Sir knights
Frank McSparren. of Erie; David o.
of Wilkes Barre and An
drew S. Slayer, Altoona
Want the Next One.
Philadelphia, with it's big delegation,
will strenuously urge the grand COM
andery to give the fiftieth annual
to the City of Brotherly Love.
This being the semi-centennial con-
clave, it is argued. the largest city in
the state should have 1t. The fact that
a Philadelphia man, V. F.. Sir Ezra S.
is to be the next grand conf
is put forward as another
reason why the conclave should go to
Deputy Grand Commander Bartlett,
Grand Aecorder w. w. Allen and Sir
III. w. Simen, member of the finance
will arrive here early this
morning to attend to the preliminary
work. The first commandery to arrive
VIII be Mt Olivet commandery, of Erie,
which Is scheduled to arrive at 10 a.
m,, over the Lackawanna. A delega-
tloh or thirty past eminent comman-
ders of Pittsburg will also arrive early
THIS morning. Big street banners of
corlnthian "Chasseur" commandery
and st. Alban commandery, of Phila-
delphia; Chester commandery, of Ches-
ter, and Baldwin commandery, of Will
transport, have already been swung to
the breeze in front of their respective
headquarters.
