Brilliant Climax of Templars’
Conclave in Chicago.
TRIENNIAL A BIG SUCCESS.
Acting sGrand Master Melish In Com-
mand and Noted Masons From
Different Parts of the
World Present.
Chicago.—Fifty thousand Knights
Templar, garbed in the handsome uni-
form of the order, wearing its glitter-
ing jewels and carrying drawn swords,
marched through elaborately decor-
ated streets of Chicago Tuesday, Aug.
9, passing beneath great arches and
before a reviewing stand four blocks
long, crowded with the leading offi*
clals of the order and the wives and
families of the sir knights. Forty-two
brass bands made music for the
marchers, and all along the route they
were cheered by the thousands of
people who had assembled to witness
the spectacle.
This magnificent parade was the
climax, in a spectacular way-, of the
thirty-first triennial conclave of
Knights Templar, which opened here
on Sunday, Aug. 7. In accordance
with the time honored custom of the
grand encampment, the doings of the
week began with divine service.
Begin With Divine Service.
The sir knights selected Orchestra
hall for this purpose and entirely filled
the body of that hall to listen to a
length, and this needed no decora-
tions, for it was filled to its capacity
mainly with ladies whose beautiful
summer costumes made it like a vast
garden. About 50,090 persons were in
this immense stand, as at its center
was a gorgeous throne on which sat
the acting grand master, William
Bromwell Melish of Cincinnati, who
became head of the order on the re-
cent death of Grand Master Henry W.
Rugg of Providence, R. I. Mr. Melish
will be regularly elected grand master
before the close of the conclave.
Just north of the Art Institute the
parade passed before another review-
ing stand in which were Mayor Busse,
the city council and the park commis-
sioners.
Beautiful “Templar Way.”
At Washington street the marchers
turned west to State, where they en-
tered on the “Templar Way.” This
stretch extended from Randolph to
Van Buren street and was made beau-
tiful by a handsome arch and massive
Corinthian columns of pure white
erected thirty-three feet apart on both
sides of the street. Festoons of natur-
al laurel connected the columns, and
the bright red cross and the shield
and coat of arms of the order were
prominent in the scheme of decora-
tion.
Moving south to Jackson boulevard,
the knights again turned west, and
near the federal building passed be-
fore yet another reviewing stand
which accommodated Governor Deneen
and his staff. Marching north on La-
Salle street, the parade passed be-
neath the grand commandery arch of
pure white which spanned the street
at the La Salle hotel, the headquarters
of the grand commandery of Illinois.
This was a beautiful structure de-
signed by one of Chicago’s most fa-
mous sculptors. Upon its top stood
the figures of mounted knights four-
teen feet high. At the new city hall
on Washington street the parade was

WILLIAM B. MELISH, ACTING GRAND MASTER.
sermon on “Templarism" delivered by
Rev. Dr. George H. MacAdam of Madi-
son, Wis., in the absence of Sir Knight
George C. Rafter of Cheyenne, Wyo.,
very eminent grand prelate of the
grand encampment. The music was
in charge of the grand organist of the
grand commandery of Illinois, the
choir consisting of several male quar-
tets belonging to the order in this
state.
Monday was devoted mainly to the
receiving of the grand and subordinate
commanderies and escorting them to
their hotels. It is estimated that fully
100,000 visitors came with the knights
and that about 300,000 other excur-
sionists have flobked to the city this
week in consequence of the conclave.
Of course every hotel was thronged
and thousands of the visitors found
quarters in private residences.
On Monday evening all the local
and visiting commanderies kept open
house at their respective headquar-
ters, and many of the visitors found
their way to the various amusement
parks and the theaters.
Parade of The Knights.
The “grand parade” of Tuesday was
the largest parade of Knights Templar
ever held. The preparations were
elaborate and Michigan boulevard was
most elaborately decorated. The sir
knights formed in line of march on
the boulevard south of Thirty-first,
street, and signal to move was given
by the guns of Battery B, I. N. G., the
detachment for the purpose being
composed of Knights Templar all of
whom are members of the battery.
The same detachment fired the salute
to the grand master.
Marching northward in Michigan
boulevard, the parade passed, near
ubbard court, beneath an entrance
arch built in the form of an ancient
battlement with its towers and tur-
rets. This was intended to represent
the entrance to the city, and as the
column passed under it, buglers sta-
tioned on its heights heralded the ap-
proach of each grand division.
Next the knights came abreast of
the first grand stand, one-half mile in
dismissed, after marching forty-three
blocks.
Entrancing Scenes at Night.
The scene in the streets at night
was especially beautiful, for all the !
arches, festoons and columns of the
decorative scheme were brilliantly il- |
luminated, and on State street, in ad-
dition to the “Templar Way,” the mer-
chants had put up decorations that
transformed the great shopping dis-
trict into a veritable fairy land.
Undpubtedly the most spectacular
feature of the night display was the
wonderful electric set piece erected
in Grant park on the lake front, re- j
producing in colossal size the official j
emblem or badge of the conclave, it
was 150 feet high and its 5,000 power-
ful electric lights of varied colors
brilliantly illuminated all that part of
the city.
To provide added amusement for the
visitors, a big aeroplane meeting was
started on Monday under the auspices
of the Aero Club of Illinois, and the
Illinois Athletic club’s Marathon swim-
ming race in the Chicago river was
set for Aug. 13, the closing day of the
conclave.
Much of the success of the conclave
must be attributed to the efforts of
John D. Cleveland, grand commander
of Illinois and president of the tri-
ennial executive committee. Arthur
MacArthur of Troy, N. Y., is the very
eminent grand generalissimo of the
grand encampment and W. Frank
Pierce of San Francisco the grand
captain general.
Among the most noted of the visit-
ing masons from other lands are: The
Right Hon. the Earl of Euston, pro
grand master of the great priory of
England and Wales; the Lord Athlum-
ney, past great constable; Thomas
Fraser, great marshal; R. Newton
Crane, past great herald; F. C. Van
Duzer, past great standard bearer;
H. J. Homer, acting grand master ban-
ner bearer; John Fergueson, past pre-
ceptor of England and Wales, and the
Right Hon. Luther B. Archibald, most
eminent grand master of the great
priory of Canada, and official staff.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY
KIDNEYS.
Weak kidneys fail to remove poi-
sons from the blood and are the cause
of backache, headache, urinary troubles
and dizzy spells.
To insure good health,
keep the kidneys
well. Doan’s Kidney
Pills remove all kid-
ney ills. Read what
a physician says:
Dr. H. Green, 215 N.
9th St., No. Yakima,
Wash., says: “I have
used Doan’s Kidney
Pills in my practice
for years and they
have given satisfac-
tion. I have taken Doan’s Kidney
Pills personally and pronounce them
the best remedy I have prescribed in
my long career as a physician and sur-
geon.”
Remember the name—Doan’s. For
■ale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS
"I had eczema on my hands for ten
^ears. I had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. I then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time I had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly ad-
vise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
“My daughter’s hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved suc-
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers
Ferry, Va., Oct. 19, 1909.”
History Cleared Up.
The third grade was “having his-
tory.” Forty youngsters were ma-
king guesses about the life and char-
acter of the Father of His Country,
when the teacher propounded a ques-
tion that stumped them all.
“Why did aWshington cross the Del-
aware?”
Why, Indeed? Not a child could
think of anything., but the answer to
the famous chicken problem: “To get
on the other side,” and, of course,
that wouldn’t do. Then little Annie’s
hand shot into the air. Little Annie
crosses the Delaware every summer
herself, hence the bright idea.
“Well, Annie?”
“Because he wanted to get to Atlan-
tic City.”—Philadelphia Times.
It Wouldn’t Stretch.
The assessor was doing the very
best he could, but the farmer was
shrewd and wary.
“How many acres of farming land
have you?” he inquired warily.
“ ’Bout 20, I guess,” said Reuben.
“Twenty! Why, it looks to me like
nearer 120. Come, now, can’t you in-
crease that a little? There are surely
more than 20 acres in that tract. Sup-
pose you stretch that a little.”
“Say, feller,” said the farmer, “this
ain’t no rubber plantation.”—Harper’s
Monthly.
Cleaned Out.
“I can’t pay this taxicab bill.”
“Then I’ll take you to a police sta-
tion.”
“I’ll pay it. But take me to the
poorhouse and leave me there.”—
Louisville Courier-Journal.

WILLY WAS TOO LIBERAL
Oversupply of Alcoholic Stimulants
Disturbed Schedule of Funeral
Arrangements.
Dean Ramsay’s memoirs contain an
anecdote of an old woman of Straths-
pey. Just before her death she sol-
emnly instructed her grandnephew:
“Willy, I’m deein’, and as ye’ll hae the
charge o’ a’ I have, mind now that as
much whisky is to be used at my fu-
neral as there was at my baptism.”
Willy, having no record of the quan-
tity consumed at the baptism, decided
to give every mourner as much as he
wished, with the result that the fu-
neral procession, having to traverse
ten miles to the chruchyard on a
short November day, arrived only at
nightfall.
Then it was discovered that the
mourners, halting at a wayside inn,
had rested the coffin on a dyke and
left it there when they resumed their
journey. The corpse was a day late
in arriving at the grave.
1 The best of its kind '
Is always advertised, In fact it only pays
to advertise grod things. When you seq
an article advertised in this paper year
after year you can be absolutely certain
that there is merit to it because the con-
tinued sale of any article depends upon
merit and to keep on advertising one
must keep on selling. All good things
have imitators, but imitations are not ad-
vertised. They have no reputation to sus-
tain, they never expect to have any per-
manent sale and your dealer would never
sell them if he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Allen’s Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic Powder for the feet, was first
sold, and through newspaper advertising
and through people telling each other
what a good thing it was for tired and
aching feet it has now a permanent sale,
and nearly 200 so-called foot powders
have been put on the market with the
hope of profiting by the reputation which
has been built up for Allen’s Foot-Ease.
When you ask for an article advertised
in these papers see that you get it. Avoid
substitutes.
Only One Cobb.
The morning after Judge Andrew
Cobb, a one time justice of the su-
preme court of Georgia, tendered his
resignation, an Atlanta lawyer and a
shoe drummer sat in the same seat in
an outgoing train.
The lawyer bought a newspaper and
looked over the headlines. Then he
turned to the drummer and said:
“Well, I see Cobb has resigned.”
“Gee!” said the drummer. “What
will Detroit do now?”—Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post.
What They Did With Them.
An American who spends much of
hisTtime In England tells of a cockney
who went to a dealer in dogs and thus
described what he wanted. “Hi wants
a kind of dog about so ’igh an’ so long.
Hit’s a kind of gr’y’ound, an’ yet it
ain’t a gr’y’ound, because 'is tyle is
shorter nor any o’ these’ ere gr’y’ounds,
an’ ’is nose is shorter, an’ ’e ain’t so
slim round the body. But still ’e’s
a kind o’ gr’y’ound. Do you keep such
dogs?” “We do not,” said the dog
man. "We drown ’em.”

Not Really Famous.
"Did he ever attain real eminence?”
“I don’t think so. He was never
looked on as the ‘hope of the white
race.’ ”—Detroit Free Press.

How would it do to try the experi-
ment of going to the erring with love,
instead of laW? Wouldn’t it be a step
nearer to pradise?
Man wants more and more of a re-

ary.
