6 Miller, THE LATCH STRING OUT. Stewart HOW THE KNIGHTS WILL ENTERTAIN. Headquarters of Local Commanderies Buildings Handsomely Decorated Inside and Out—Committees to Receive— How the Ladies Will Dispense the Hospitalities. ———_ The Washington commanderies, in addition to the general program of entertainment which they have arranged. will. as commanderies, keep open house during the entire time of the con- clave. They have secured headquarters which will be handsomely decorated and they will dis- pense slavish hospitality. From early in the morning until late at night the sir knights of the commanderies and their ladies will be atthe respective headquarters to welcome all who come. Ample refreshments will be provided, and everything will be done to make the visitors bay good time. To accomplish these plans of hospitality the ladies connected with the commanderies have gone to work with a hearti- ness that insures success, They have organ- ized and been detailed into reception commit- tees to be present on different days, TO BE WELCOMED BY No. 1. Headquarters of Washington Command- ery in Scottish Rite Hall. The headquarters of Washington command- ery, No. 1, will be at the Scottish Rite sanctu- ary, 1007 G street northwest. The exterior of the building will be profusely decorated with bunting, national colors and Templar emblems. ‘The large banquet hall on the first floor will be very prettily fitted up for this occasion. A committee of sir knights will be in constant attendance ull day and late in the night to ex- tend a cordial welcome to all who call.

Here the ladies of the commandery will hold their court, The room will be brightened with masses of foliage, plants and flowers, The walls will be adorned With pictures, many of which the ladies will bring from their own homes. There will be three tents or booths forming picturesque features of the decorations, and while the tents are very pretty. yet they will have something more than mere beauty to amuse the interest of the visiting knights. In one tent coffee and sandwiches will be served, in another bouillon and crackers and in the third lemonade and cake.

DeMolay commandery, No. 4, of the District has always been noted for the generous and hospitable manner in which they have received visiting Templars, and the members feel that they are bound, in keeping up their reputation, to outdo their former records. They have leased the entire upper portion of the new Seligson building, corner of 12th and Pennsylvania avenue, which has only just been completed. In the first place the structure is to fairly ablaze with bunting, work having been in this morning on the outside decorations. Tiis is in the hands of J. W. Dean of Brooklyn, who was for many years with Aldrich. He is now in business for him- self and promises-to make a fine show for DeMolay. His design is simple, but effect- ive, being to cover the two fronts of the building, east and north, with shields and banners, artistically arranged im alternation with festooned bunting in fan pes. The Stars and Stripes will be mingled with the Templar colors, black and white, the whole presenting a beautiful effect, especially as every piece put on the building is entirely new, never having been used before. There is a charm in FRESH, CRISP BUNTING } Such asis obtained by no other means. A series of large American flags will be hung | from the windows of the second story, leading a neat finish | half way to the pavement, givin, ‘Yo the mass of coloring. From the top of the itaff ten streamers, crowded with small flags, will extend in all directions, The em- blems used will be as follows: a red passion cross and a gold crown in raised design ona circular background of white; a red passion cross alone onabiue ground; A maltese or templar cross of gold on a red ground and an American shield of red. white and blue. From the top of each of these emblems radiate five smail bauners, black and white (Templar col- ors), from the circular emblems and all colors from the shields, The building is peculiarly adapted to the purposes of decoration in form. besides being On one of the most commanding corners on the avenue. A calcium light will be placed on Cochran's store opposite and thrown on the headquarters each night in order to bring out the effects of the decorations at all hours, THE INTERIOR. Inside the rooms are to be fitted up hand- somely. Messrs. Julius Lansburgh and Goo. Breitbarth have kindly loaned the commandery sufficient carpets and furniture to fit up the second floor, which will be devoted to the use of the ladies. The building will be open throughout the week, the commandery practi- cally keeping open house during the eutire conclave. it willbe represented by commit- tees at all bours, both of knights and ladies, and bountiful tables will be spread for the solid and liquid refreshment of visitors. GUESTS OF DEMOLAY. DeMolay will act as escort to the following commanderies: Mt. Calvary of Omaha, Neb.; California, No. 2, of San Francisco; Boston commandery; Columbian of Norwich, Conn.; Chasseux of Philadelphia, Pa., No. 53; St. John’s, No. 1, of Providence, R. L., and St. Andr. of Richmond, Va. The members of these, besides many other visiting knights who have had pleasant relations with DeMolay in former years, will be told that the latch string will always be out to them, and that when they come they will find comfort, hospitality and a bome as far as it is in the power of one of the most courteous commanderies in the country.

The center con- fnte, ‘The badge wea’ dorigued and manutsct- te, ie was designed an ured by Mr. Chas. F. Irons of Providence, R. L, who is in attendance upon the conclave, having his headquarters at the National hotel. This badge is thought by many oni handocanest conclave souvenirs ever produced. THE CONCLAVE BUTTON. Besides this badge every knight will wear a small button souvenir a little over half an inch square in the form of a Maltese metal cross, the arms filled with black, white, green and red enamel. Inacircle in the center is a small three-armed cross, the insignia of the conclave. and ‘D.C., 1889,” making a neat token of the occasion. COMMITTEE BADGES. Each® member of committee will wear a dis- tinguishing badge during the conclave. The design is the same for all committees, being a large Templar or Maltese cross of bright metal, perhaps two inches square, covered with plush except on a narrow rim of the metal, which is raised level with the general surface and highly burnished. The various committees will be distinguished by the color in the badge, besides having the name of the committee painted in large letters across the face. In the upper arm of the badge is *-24th Triennial Conclave, Grand Encampment;” in the lower arm, ‘“Wash- ington, D.C., October, 1889; in the corners ot the two side arms, “K.

Edward Spellman, a prominennt distiller, one of the wealthiest citizens of Peoria, IIL, is the district officer of the Clan-na-Gael, and a Chicago dispatch says he is to be a witness in the Cronin trial on behalf of the state. When the grand jury was in session one of the minute books of Camp No. 20 was missing. The knowledge of the authorities concerning the appointment of a secret committee by Senior Guardian Beggs came from members of the camp, who heard part of the proceedings at the meeting. It was alleged that Beggs written to Spellman asking permission to order the trial of a member of the order peenging to another camp. The man meant was Dr. Cronin, Mr. Spellman pesnenty denied having received any such letters or having given any such permission. Since then the missing minute book has been turned in by a repentant member of the inner circle of Camp 20. It proves beyond question that the seoret com- mittee was appointed by Senior Guardian Beggs. Every particuiar of the motion to appoint the committee is given in the minutes. @ discovery of this book gave Mr. Spell- man’s testimony new Significance; He was seen again, and now he will be « valuable witness for the state. ee eS Srecia, Trawss Between Bautiwore xp WasuinoTon via PennsyLvaNta -aD.—For the better accommodation of the travel between Baltimore and Washington on the occasion of the great Knights Templar conclave, the Penn- Aina railroad company will, in addition to the regular trains, run special trains between the two cities as follows: Monday, October 7, a special train will leave Calvert station 9:10 a, NEW YORK GOSaIP. cure the World’s Fair. matter of fact, it will be held at Chicago, But he hopes that somehow his own city will manage to get the prize away from both. The situation in regard to the world’s fair— will allow the violent assumption that it held in New York at all—is that the site fixed along th itous bel Aon be been committee is now hard at work trying to find out how the owners of property in this location feel about ite sale or lease, and, as a rule, they meet with s very decent spirit, The most con- trary persons now are the trustees of the large tracts on the heights owned by the Episcopal cathedral and the Bloomingdale insane asylum. Rather to the surprise and disgust of the com- mittee, these large bodies move slowly in pote consent to the use of their lands, A few of the smaller proprietors are stubborn also, but as Pooh Bah observed, I don't say but what they can be squared. NOTHING DEFINITE, Having settled on a site the next thing is to pay for it, and after that to decide how to use it. In both of these particulars the managers are very backward, We hear rumors of finan- cial plans which are to set the fair on its lege, but as yet nothing definite. But it has been determined yecwey to ask no money from Congress, chiefly for the reason that it is plain appeal would be fruitless. The prev opinion is that when the plan is matured it will not differ much from the ordinary lines. There will be a corporation issuing stock and the public will be invited to step up and invest, 48 TO THE BUILDINGS, sll that can be said is that they will none of them be set inthe park. Various plans have been suggested for their arrangement, but nothing is settled. The general idea is to cover about eighty acres with the structures, not counting the refreshment booths and other architectural small fry, FOLLOWING IN THE RUT. To judge from the present look of things the world’s fair is following in the familiar rut of New York's enterprises; firsta rowdy how d’ do; then a general inquiry where the cash is to come from to pay for the fun and glory; next double-leaded editorial appeals in the news- Papers to the millionaires, who nevertheless Maintain a painful indifference; then com- plaints and quarrels and sarcasm, and, finally, acollapse andaturning to some new sensa- tion. jibly the present enterprise may prove an exception, but the outlook is dis- couraging. It isn’t that New York is lacking in liberality. ‘The city’s record in crises that stir the latent kindness and generosity of busy men is too well known to require a eulogy. But it is hope- lessly deficient in public apirit. A few days ago, to ci! 2 Ainstratiee, one of the new cruisers was christened Philadelphia, And what did the Quakers do? Why, they met in solemn conclave, the mayor, the editors and the millionaires, and resolved that in —— tion of this compliment to their city would furnish their nautical godchild wit a nice library, Now, imagine Mayor Grant and the New York editors and the Four Hun- dred assembling in the city hall, tickled to death ause ® new man-of-war had been called the New York and votiug to show their appreciation of this distinction by giving it a library! It's very provincial, it may be, but I rather like the Philadelphia style, though it may seem absurd, for it is just that intense love of home and town and native land that has made human annals glorious. And in this spirit of local pride, which we won't laugh atif we study the history of Athens and Florence and Boston and many other grand cities, ancient and modern, New York is fataily lacking. “The ponte be d——d; where do I come in?” should the city’s motto. A DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN. One of our most distinguished citizens just now is Thos. C. Platt. It is a bard thing to live down @ disgrace and harder still, perhaps, to live down a nickname, but Mr. Piatt has done both. His scrape at Albany is mentioned nO more and people have ceused e to call him “Me Too.” ‘Today he is unquestionably the “boss” of the ublican party in New York state, if not in the United States. His management of the recent convention at Sara- toga was marvelous. ‘The ticket may be rather weak, but if so, it is because he wishes it to be, The whole convention was specimen of the grand strategy as distin- guished from the *peanut” politica of leaders who are simply smart. In reviewing the situa- tion one demoratic paper went so far as to compare Platt to Martin Van Buren and pre- dict for him as great a career. One charming feature of the convention was the pile-driving way in which it sat down on the Johnnie O’Brien gang in the tough eighth ward of this city. The pert and “fresh” telegram which the ousted rowdies sent to President Harrison fitly euds their career as republicans for reve- nue only, Of course they will now call them- selves democrats. but their views on the tariff, on internal improvements, centralization of power and strict construction will largely de- pend, as hitherto, on which party bas the more copious supply of five dollar bills, BE WANTS TO LIVE IN WASHINGTON. If you do not have Mr. David B. Hill as a res- ident of Washington for four years it will not be from any lack of scheming on his Goy. Hill isfvery anxious to live in Washing- ton. But he is particular in his requirements for a house, He wants the dwelling now occu- pied by Mr. Harrison, and he is using all his wits to acquire the lease. His negotiations at Syracuse this week have been wonderfull: smart, and his praises are in the mouth of the hack politicians of both parties. His under- mining of Cleveland in the state committee was a master-stroke in politcal intrigue and for the moment certainly made him the undis- puted boss of the party in the state. Now if he could only win over the mugwumps he would be able to go before the country in 92 as a fa- vorite son in place of Mr. Grover Cleveland. Would it not be singular if the tickets in 'y2 were hea respectively by “Tom Platt” aud “Dave Hi There are politicians who think that such a conjunction is not incredible. What @ high old campaign that would be for the boys. 4 NEW CABLE ROAD. After a stubborn fight the Third avenue street railroad has got the consent of the rail- road commissioners to aes their motive wer from horses to cable. The company can obstructed still further, but probably it will now be allowed to do as it pleases, Many are skeptical as to the practical workings of the cable system over such along line and sucha crowded one. But it certuinly caunot be worse than the present system and probably it ushers in a great improvement. The Third ave- nue @ as now conducted is vile, slow and abhorrent in the extreme. The cars are moving chambers of horrors. In place of these filthy bins dragged at such a poor, dying rate by skinny beasts, we are promised a clean and rapid service with care that will be the finest of their — in existence .
