Jim kinney'S Mug in Cartoon Deco rates Minneapolis Tribune
 Pare

The Minneapolis Tribune of last Thursday. which arrived in the city yesterday, prints a large cartoon in which the noble countenance of J. H. Kinney looms prominently, though IL seems rather serious for one to wear on such festive occasion as called him to Minneapolis, delegate to the biennial conclaVe of the Knights of KhOrassan. MT. Kinney seems to be in the custody of some one. His companion culprit is Charles l.. Swain, speaker of the Ohio house of representatives,.
 The Tribune publishes the follow ing account of d social function made incident to the conclave:
 The gold room at the Hotel Radis- son presented a brillioant scene last night. when a reception was given to the Knights of Khorassan. who are gathering for their biennial conven- ton, which begins this morning and continues for four days with sessions of the Imperial Palace in the morn ings and entertainment features for each afternoon and evening.
 The room was decorated with the national colors, floWess, pennants and banners of the different temples, while the gay uniforms of the patrols added a touch of picturesque light ness. Governor Eberhardt, Imperial Prince Thomas H. Hineline, Mayor Keller of St. Paul and Mayor Nye of Minneapolis stood in line with thelr ladies and shook hands with the wis itors for a half hour.
 Short addresses of welcome by all four followed. which were responded to by Frank E. Duncan of Oklahoma, past imperial prince; Thomas J. Car ling of Macon, Georgia. supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias; William H. Brannon of Talbotton, Ga, and William G. Edens of Chicago, of the supreme lodge of the committee on finance.
 When special trains arrive this morning, bringing more delegations from Chicago and western Canada, it is estimated that there will be in the neighbornOod of 1000 knights ouartered at the various hotels. The first session of the Imperial Palace will be held in the Hotel Radisson this morning at ten o'clock.
 All officers of the Imperial Divan are on hand, together with commit tees on finance and judiciary. con sisting of past princes. as well as Thomas J. Carling. Macon, Ga, grand chancellor; Brig s. Young, Ada, Ohio, vice supreme chancellor, and other supreme lodge officers and the su- preme lodge committees on finance and Judiciary of the Knights of Py thias.
 The sessions of the Imperial Pal ace will be secret when the affairs of the order are considered. There is little doubt but what it will be decided to ask the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias for official re- cognition of the Knights of KhOrassan similar to that accorded to the Py- thian Sisters. which grants only af- filiation The Dramatic order of Knights of Khorassan was incor- porated four years ago by a special act of congress as an independent organization, although it's membership is composed exclusively of Knights of Pythias.
 This afternoon, starting at 1 D. m. there will be a trolley trip to Minne- tonxa, and tour of the lake by boats with a lunch aboard In the evening at D. m- at Knights or Pythias hall Masonic Temple, there will be d reception in honor of Su- Drene tnanCeIlOf tdTllHS ana OIHSi supreme lodge officers and Pythian visitors. followed by q regular con- vention of Ivanhoe Lodge No. 1S9, to which all members of the order are invited, and at g D. m. there will be grand ceremonial session of Mahrah Temple No. v, in the drill hall on the eighth floor.
