BOSTONIANS'
: ABSENCE is
REMARKED
Failure to Get Right of Line
Causes Old Lodge to
Leave Parade.
Rank and File Stand by the
Decision of Their
Commander.

The noticeable absence of Boston
Commandery from the parade caused
considerable comment and no small
amount of chagrin to the many ad-
mirers of the organization, who had
awaited impatiently along the line of
march for an opportunity to greet
the Oldest and for many years the
largest commandery in the United
States. The failure of the command
cry to appear in the interesting pa
geant was due to the order of parade,
which placed the commandery in an
Objectionable position. At an early
hour the commandery reported to its
division commander. where it was
learned that De Molay Commandery
had been given the place of honor in
the Massachusetts section, a posi-
ton which, by reason of its seniority,
Boston Commandery claimed for it
self. In fact, it had previously been
assured the place, but the orders for
formation had been changed later
by the Grand Commandery Of
Massachusetts. When the Boston
Commandery reached it's position
in the line and learned that it
was to have a place other than the
one it had been promised. it's COM

the st. Francis Hotel. where a meet
ing was held and the members of the
commandery unanimously indorsed
the stand taken by their leader. In
discussing the matter later in the
day Commander Rinaldo Richardson
said:
Boston Commandery declined to parade to-
day for the following reasons:
Article of parade orders No. 4. issued by
the commander of the parade under date OF
July 20. 1904. reads as follows:
Communicates, grand and subordinate,
will be formed in grand divisions according
to jurisdiction and take rank by date Of
charter
Boston Commanderys has the Oldest charter
of any commandery present and such is
erttled to the right of the line of the second
division and by parade order No. 1, issued
the signature of the Grand Commander
of Massachusetts, and Rhode Island before
leaving Boston, was assigned to that position
On the evening before the parade new order
was received from the Grand Commander of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island resembling
the former order. This order was in
definite that we were unable TO determine our
position in the parade. On arriving at the
place of formation 1t was discovered that the
commandery escorting the Grand Commandery
place in line had been assigned by the Grand
Commander of Massachusetts, and Rhode ISL
and to position on the right of Boston Com
mandery.
Considering this an injustice and in direct
opposition to the general orders quoted and
OF Massachusetts, and Rhode Island before
leaving Boston commandery declined to
parade and returned to its quarters at the
ct. Francis Hotel.

The reception room of the hotel was
decorated for the occasion and there
were refreshments and music In
plenty.
Santa Barbara, like most Of the Cali

uous by its excellent showing and was
one of the bodies that elected much ap-
plause when on parade, great care hav-
ing been taken to drill the corps for the
conclave.

GOLDEN GATE ENTERTAINs.
knight of Gettysburg Presents Them
With Civil War Relic.

Golden Gate Commandery received
thousands of visiting Templars at
their home on Suffer street last night.
Golden Gate Hall was a bower of
evergreens and artistically arranged
electric lights made the place look
like a fairy land. A steady stream of
plumed knights and their ladies
poured in and out of the hall during
the evening.
Among the guests of the command
cry was Sir Knight S. M. Bushman Of
Gettysburg, Pa. He presented the
Golden Gate Commandery with a
unique souvenir, gavel made from
a tree that grew on the battlefield of
Gettysburg. Imbedded in the head of
the gavel is a bullet fired during the
battle of Gettysburg. Sir Knight
Bushman had met some of the Tenn
plars from Golden Gate Commandery
at the last bankers convention. At
that time he promised to secure for
the Golden Gate Knights such a SOU
venir. The members of the command
cry are elated over the gift.

The high tragedy of the Chinese i'm

at the Grand Opera-house when a cou-

gowns stiff with gold embroideries and
glistening with thousands of tiny mir
rors, stood forth for moment before
the admiring eyes of the audience.
Then. presto, change. their brilliant re-
spectability fell with their cloaks to the
ground. In flesh tights and baggy
trousers they whirled wheels and turn
ed tumbles till the audience was dizzy
with laughter and applause. Nothing
seemed to jar the equilibrium of the
acrobats till one of them, over polite.
endeavored to bow while standing on
his head.
Jumping over chairs. tables and
chairs and tables combined. twisting
into all manner of contortions, they
finally tumbled themselves off the stage
to the great regret Of a much amused
audience.

Emergency Hospital at
Mechanics Pa
vilion.

The Emergency Hospital established
by California Commandery, Knights
Templar, at Mechanics Pavilion,
treated eight cases yesterday. The hos

shown by the guiding spirits of the
conclave.

first aid station, all the facilities are at
hand to treat the most serious Of acci-
dents. A large staff of thorough ply
sicians from the ranks of the Sir

TO THE
Templar
OF THE WORLD.
OF THE WORLD.

If there is any truth in this world
it fnds its purest expression In the
relations that exist between brother
Masons.
When a Mason in distress seeks a
brother Mason for his confidence and
advice that moment the prejudices
and ethics of the professional and
commercial worlds are blotted out
and truth comes as near being crys-
talliZed into substance as human re-
lations permit.
Now to the point. There are tens
of thousands of Masons in the United
States, and the homes of many are
clouded by the presence Of Bright's
disease and diabetes.
We make to you the solemn an
nouncement that the cure for these
hitherto fatal diseases has positively
been discovered in this city. And
we come TO you with the proof ths4
you yourselves would ask. Tbs. re-
coveries in this city run into HIM
dreds and record the names of three
thirty-third degree Masons, one of
whom recovered himself, and two
others had members of their own
families saved, and this, too. after
medical science had seemingly been
exhausted.
1t is Masonic to do good. You
know some to whoa this informa-
ton would be literally a Godsaid.
In their interest. in the interest OF
suffering thousands all over the Unit
ed States, in the interest of humanity,
we are permitted to give you the
names of these of your brethren into
whose homes happiness has been car
ried by the restoration of loved ones
when all hope was gone, and who.
knowing the truth, will tell you.
You know how to approach each
other to get the eternal truth.
Faithfully yours,

How to Take OF the Pink
Slip.
WILL SAVE MUCH MONEY

With the action of the board of fire
and poAee commissioners last night in
appointing fireman for the two new
stations, the first definite steps of the
insurance men to do away with the
pink slip on insurance policies was made
today.
Mr.. c. c. Rose. insurance commission
er for this district, this morning wrote
to Mr. Claude F. Snyder, secretary of
the Kentucky and Tennessee board of
underwriters, requesting information as
to how the pink slip will be taken Off,
at the same time apprising the board
of the action of the board of fire COM
missioners in manning the stations and
taking active steps towards eomplet-
ing the recommendations and require
ments of the insurance men.
81 wrote to the secretary of the board
of underwriters and asked him to ar
range matters so there win be no UNI
necessary delay in the removal Of the
pink slip" Mr.. Rose stated today, "and
presume the board will take immediate
steps to do away with the slip when the
equipment arrives and the new fire
stations are in service. The action of
the commissioners in appointing men
last night made it possible for me to
give some definite information to the
board of underwriters relative To the
progress of the improvements, and
think the board will order the slips re-
moved as soon as the stations are in SER
vice" .
The pink slip has cost the people of
Paducah several thousand dollars, pos
sibly as much as 5000 or $4,000 over
the usual cost of insurance since it went
into effect.
