ing common and universal head. This is
the international Order of Good Templars.
which Is devoted strictly to promoting the
principle of temperance. The order, long
known as the Independent Order of Good
Templars, changed it's titular designation
to the international order" at the session
of its Supreme Lodge. held at Belfast, Ire
land, this week. At the same meeting II
was decided to hold the next triennial con-
vention of the supreme body in Washington
in 1908 This convention will call to the
capital city large number OF members OF
the order from other countries, and there
will also be a big attendance of American
Good Templars, whose numbers are nearing
the 800 900 mark. The Washington lodges
of which there are several fourlshmg ones

restaurants his alternate. Both gentle
men will be in attendance at the Detroit
session, which will be the first meeting OF
the body that was ever held independently
of the Supreme Lodge of knights OF PythlaS.
The knights of khorassan, although having
no official. recognition from the knights OF
Pythias are composed exclusively of mem
bers of the Pythian order and bear rela-
ton to it somewhat similar to that existing
between Masonry and the Mystic Shrine
The Shrine is not a Masonic body, although
recognized an important ANIMATE. II Is,
however, composed exclusively of members
of the Masonic fraternity. The relation be-
tween Pythians and Khorassans is similar
although there is small resemblance be-
tween the rituals of the Shriners and the
Votaries of the khorassan.
Ascalon, No. 81, the local temple, is about
six years old and has recently witnessed a
warm revival of interest. The body now
has about go members, out OF a total

Hatfield of the knights of Khorassan says:
The Imperial Palace will hold its next ses
sion in Detroit. beginning August 10 This
session promises to be one of the most en-
thusiastic and we hope the most success
full yet assembled. From reports at hand
there are many temples contemplati ting the
trip by car loads. We expect 1000 from
Ohio alone North Carolina, Georgia, and
Tennessee will send two car loads. New
York, with only two temples, is arranging
for special boat to go by the lake. Mis-
souli, Illinois, Kansas and Iowa expect to
be largely represented. The idea of meet
ing at different time and place from the
Supreme Lodge, X. of p, is going to be
success. We have. as you know, met BIZ
ennially heretofore, and thus have had two
years in which to accumulate a fund TO pay
the expenses of the Imperial Palace ses-
sions, in the way of mileage and per diem.
