- The 'conclave programme will be
ushered in Sunday morning, when
Bishop Walden, grand prelate of the
grand encampment, will conduct re-
/ ligious services for the knights in the
Auditorium. In the evening a sacred
concert will be given at the grand

campment will begin Tuesday at noon,
after the big parade. Deputy Grand
Master Arthur Macarthur of Troy, N.
Y, will be elevated to the position of
grand master, in succession to William
B. Melish of Cincinnati.
| (; The latter part of the week will be
devoted largely to the exhibition drills.
The great amphitheatre erected spe-
cially for the purpose has a seating
fcapacity of more than 1000. Never.
theless the ordinary civilian who is
not Knight Templar will have a diff.
ficult time to gain admission. The
exhibition drill is a feature dear to
the hearts of the ladies who accom-
pany the valiant sir knights of the
conclave, and the committee feel that
it must first care for the comfort of
the vast number of visiting knights
and their ladies who will want to wit
ness the evolutions of the crack COM
manderies of the country.
The exchange of Inequalities among
the visiting Communicates will be one
of the pleasing features of the social
side of the conclave. The banquet
rooms and ball rooms of all the large
hotels have been engaged for every
night of the week. Receptions, din
ners and balls will be given by the
communicates from various states in
honor of the brother knights and their
ladies from other states. In addition,
there will be several great receptions
and other social functions given in
honor Of the visitors by the City Of
Denver and the local communicates.
When the conclave is over the vast
majority Of the visitors will start on
sightseeing trips through Colorado.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR GATHERING
IN DENVER FOR CONCL AVE

renver, Colo, Aug. s.-From East
and West and from North and South
armies of Knights Templars are con-
verging on Denver today. The ad-
vance guard is already within the
gates and the entire city will capitu-
late to the Invaders before Sunday,
when the thirty-second triennial con-
clave Of the order will be formally
opened 81
It is more than twenty years since
Denver was similarly honored, the last
meeting of the grand commandery
here having taken place in 1892. In
| the interval Chicago, Cleveland, Bos.
ton, Saratoga, Louisville and Pitts
burgh, among other cities, have enter
tanned the triennial conclave In the
matter of attendance Washington, D.
c., holds the record, over twenty-five
thousand templars, by actual count
having passed in review before Presi.
dent Harrison, but Denver hopes to
eclipse this record, and to show at
least forty thousand plumed knights
in line next week.
For nearly two years the local com
mittee of reception and entertainment
have been preparing for the advent
Of the mighty hosts that will sojourn
in this city during the next seven
days, and even thus early the hun
dreds of strangers are willing to ad
nit that the work of the committee
has been we'll done.
In the matter of decoration, it might
be said that Solomon in all his glor-'
was not arrayed as is Denver today
On every hand are to be seen the EN-
blems of the order intertwined with
the national colors. The electrical
decorations are particularly rich and
elaborate. When Grand Master Mel
ish is escorted from the railroad sta
ton tomorrow by the Denver com
manderies, numbering 800 swords, he
will pass along an avenue lined with
more than 100 light poles, each bear
ing the national colors, represented in
two flags Between these will be the
templar insignia of cross and crown
and a maltese cross in black. besides
which there will be festoons of col
ored lights.
The scheme OF decoration includes
an exact reproduction of the Mickell
gate bar of the Benedictine Abbey OF
York. England, erected In the year A.

SUB:SIAII0N AT
NORMAL COLLEGE
BRANCH OF 'HATTIEs6URe POST
OFFICE WILL BE IN OPERA
TON SEPTEMBER 1877.

The Postoffice Department of the
Federal Government has author
lied the establishment at the
Mississippi Normal College of a sub
station of the Hattiesburg postoffice.
Arthur " Hays has been named as
postmaster of the station and Mr.. Full
Ter has been given instructions to ar
range for the opening of the office
September i, 1918. The mail for the
Normal will be handled twice day
each way by the Hattiesburg Traction
company.
Immediately after the opening of
the Normal College Postmaster Col
Inns took up the matter of securing a
sub-station for that institution and he
felt assured this much-needed addition
to the service of the Hattiesburg post
office would be made, but for some
reason the proposition was turned
down. When the attention of Hon. B.
P. Harrison, member of Congress-
from this district, was called to this
fact he at once took up the matter and
secured the order for the establish
ment of the station.
