The celebration of the establishment of a Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar in the District of Columbia took Place yesterday afternoon, and fittingly took the shape of an inspection and a drill in the White Lot, followed by a parade over 17th street and Massachusetts avenue and by way of K street and 10th to the Masonic Temple. The crowds began to gather in the vicinity of the temple and at other points where the knights prepared to make their way to the rendezvous in the White Lot before 4 o'clock, and followed the commanderies to swell the throng al- ready awaiting them to immense propor- tions. The scene when the knights were all drawn up in regimental Ine across the ellipse was strikingly effective, the dark uniforms with gold trimmings and white plumes making strong contrast to the em- erald trees in the background and the vivid green of the sod beneath. Passing in Review. De Molay Commandery, mounted, of which nearly two hundred members rode in the line, was the first to appear, headed by the mounted band of the sixth cavalry. De Molay was followed by Washington Commandery, with the Fourth Artillery Band, and then came Beauseant Command- ery of Baltimore, headed by the Mount Pleasant Field Band, and escorted by Co- lumbia Commandery, whose guests the vis- itors were. Haley’s Band headed this sec- tion. The line was completed by Potomac Commandery, No. 3, with a drum corps, and Orient Commandery, No. 5, with the Canton Potomac Field Band. The Grand Commandery was drawn up in line at the northern curve of the ellipse, and awaited the coming of the commanderies which were summoned by Dr. White, the eid to Grand Commander Noble D. Larner, With the latter were Adjutant Col. W. G. Moore, Aid G. H. White and Past Com- anders W. HH. Cissel, F, G. Asexander, 'T. Somerville, M. O'Connor, H, K. Simpson, F. H. Thomas, J. H.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The following recipe for a cheap and sim- ple means of making old straw hats look Ike new will doubtless be of timely interest to some of your readers: Take 5 cents’ worth of oxalic acid, and thcroughly dissvlve it in one quart of wa- ter; dip a brush or sponge in this water and scrub the hat well, after which place it in the sunshine to bleach and dry. | When treated by this process, the old, mildewed straws of ‘95 become as bright as the new crop of 96.

The booths did an ex- cellent business, the candy stand being forced to replenish its stock several times during the course of the evening. Other attractions are making an excellent show- ing in receipts, and the committees in charge are working as hard as energy can drive them toward gathering in the shekels. A program of athletic numbers was ren- dered last evening by Maurice Joyce and a class from the Carroll Institute. Those who participated in the feats were Joseph Daly, Julius MéAfee, J.

Mrs. McCann has devoted a great part of her life to the study of the hand and its mysteries, and through the teaching of Prof. Keritzka, a Russian palmist, suc- ceeded in nearly perfecting herself in the art. Her style in lecturing is clear, de- cisive and enjoyable, end her lecture to- morrow will be doubly delightful on ac- count of the subject. Mrs. McCann has given several private lectures on this sub- ject, but this is her first public appearance in this city.

The dances were given with grace and ease, each one of the participants acquitting himself or herself with a great amount of credit. —— THE PREACHERS’ MEETING. An Interesting Organization Among Methodist Ministers. For over a half century the Methodist Episcopal ministers of Washington have had a regular organization, known as the Preachers’ Meeting. The most eminent men of the Baltimore conference have been connected with it, in- cluding such as Rey. Dr. Lanahan, formerly presiding elder of the Washington district, and later pastor of the Foundry Church; the Roszels, Drs. S. Ashbury and S. Samuel, Dr. . S, Nadal, Drs. L. F. Morgan, Joseph France, William B, Edwards, W. 8. Ed- wards, George Hildt, E. P. Phelps, John A. Collins, Henry Slicer, } William Hamilton, Thomas P_ Newman, now bishop, and his E. ws and J. Hurst, Sewall, Cookman, gether with a large number of other ters. These men, at different periods In the last half century, have been found on each Monday morning assembled with brethren of the other M in this city and vicinity, part in de- liberations and enjoying mutual consulta- tion and encouragement. For a great many years the preachers have met in one of the parlors of the Foundry Church,corner of G and 14th streets northwest, at 10:20 a.m. The body has a regular constitution and rules of procedure. At this time the follow- ing are its officers: Dr. J. B. Stitt, president; Dr. C. W. Baldwin, vice president; Rev, A. Bielask!, secretary and treasurer. The meeting has no power whatever to legislate for the general church, nor, indeed, for the local churches, but it passes upon and directs the execution of a great many things of vital Importance to Methodism and to general Christianity. Frequent verbal reports as to the progress of affairs in the different churches are made 3 important theological books are reviewed in papers prepared by the members: the great questions agitating the church are di cussed; movements relating to the Methe interests in Washington and in the con ence as a whole are considered; the interests of church institutions, suchas the Dea- coness Home and Sibley Hospital, the Home for the Aged, the Methodist Union, ete., are ¢xamined and passed upon; the moral enter- S of the District have frequent pre tion before the meeting, seeking its in- arsement and encouragement. epresenting, as these ministers do, a con- stituency ommunicants, ft of about 10,000 & is not strange that their utterances have sreat weight. ——--.___ Washington Architecture Memorial Bridge. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It may seem like impertinence for an ariateur architect to make any eriticism on the plans you illvstrate for the Momo- tial bridge. Washirgton has the most un- fortunate and most beautiful structures in the world. The Capitol we ell know and revere. The White House is a f. Italian villa. The treasury is very impres- sive from the south. It is backed into the ground on the north in a most unfortunate situation. When we think of the Acropo- ls on a hill we are at a loss to know why a superb Imitation should be so placed that we have to go downstairs to go up. The new library promises to he the most beau- tiful building In the world of {ts character, and as we look from {ts grand terraces to the pension office, one fairly shudders. The Monument ts undoubtedly the most perfect erection of its kind. Fortunately, the ap- propriations gave out before the circle of columns was constructed. In the old drawing {t will be seen how unfit it was. The Monument would have looked like the handle of a gigantic earth pounder. Its atsolute simplicity is its perfection, and had {t been adorned with shields, spread eagles, or even an Inscription, 1t would not have been as solemn as it is now. It is an endless delight to contemplate it. Some- times In the mist which half conceals It, again in the sun at midday, or when it is outlined by sunset color against the blue of the eastern sky. With regard to the new bridge, there seems to be a good deal that 1s incompat- ible with the harmonious construction. The massive towers are connected by spidcr- web steel. The towers are very ornate and costly, and rather eye-confusing; the rail- ing incompetent. The drawbridge, if pos- sible, should be avoided, but arches high enouzh for everything except high masts; and there Is very little necessity for the lat. ter going above the bridge. It would be cheaper and cause less constant annoy- ance for the United States to build docks below. In London all small river craft have to arrange their masts so as to lower them passing under the bridges. We have near to us at Cabin John bridge the bravest and most beautiful arch in the world, and there is nothing near it to distract the eye from Its beauty. The old bridges in Rome and many foreign cities are all stone arches. They were fortunately built before the age of steel trussing and its con- comitant, the odor of paint. I can see in my mind the vision of a beautiful bridge— arches of solid stone vieing with the one at Cabin John, with a parapet of rough stone, with polished circles or bronze tab- lets, where can be recorded the names of the heroes of the: war—all on the line of vision. Frequent pedestals, bearing bronze statues, with groups above the piers. The lamps to be borne by soldiers in bronze, in place of the ordinary street lamp-posts. ‘The grasp of the hands of the soldiers holding lamps fhall be go arranged that the lamp can be removed and a flag held in the hand, one of the corps ne served in. This is, of course, for day parades. Ali this would bear history, as I have sald, on a level with easy vision, and be a lesson of the past befcre every thoughtful visitor. Ali this would cost no more than the draw- ing shown, but would carry the character of permanence that promises to defy cen- turies, without paint or repairs, for a pe- riod as lung as the arches of Rome have endured. It would seem that the United States, with all {ts great wealth and power, should so concelve and build a structure that cen- turles will not impair, and renewals never necessary, except tor the roadbed. AMATEUR ARCHITECT. EE Felt Badly About the Banner. The mutilated banner of the Union Re- publican Club was the subject of animated discussion at the regular meeting of the organization held last night. There was a desire expressed to pass resolutions de- nunciatory of the person having charge of the banrer when it was disfigured, but firally the entire question was laid on the table. Arrangements were completed for a river excursion May 20, and several new members were elected. and the ‘aultless &. Paul's Church Fair—The St. Paul’s Church Fair has proved very successful so far, the attendanco last evening being up THE CONVENTION ENDED Wow. Officers Elected by Southeastern Tariff Association. The President’s Address Indorsed— The Executive Committee—A Pleasant Banquet. ‘The annual convention of the Southeastern Tariff Association, which began at the Shoreham Wednesday, completed Its busi- ness last evening, and adjourned to meet next year ot some place to be designated by the executive committee. After the close of the report in The Star of last evening the special committee, Gen. John B. Castleman, chairman, to whom was referred the annual address of President Egleston, made their report, indorsing all the recommendations made by the pres!- dent, the principal of which was the con- demnation of “incorporated companie: awito, act in the capacity of resident agents. In referring to this matter President Egleston sald: “The practice of appointing incor- porated companies as agents is rapidly ex- tending. The executive committee has been petitiored to protect the agents against this competition, which, it is claimed, 1s a viola- tion of law, at least, of its spirit. The stock of these insurance agencies or limited com- panies Is placed with persons actively en- gaged in mercantile and manufacturing business, and large property owners. “The object is to control the business of its stockholders, through rebates, in the shape of dividend: Unless a remedy can be de- vised, much demoralization will result. The agents contend that in order to meet this competition it will be necessary to trans- fer their agencies Into limited compantes, placing the stock in the hands of all classes of property owners. I suggest that all agencies in conflict with this rule be dis- continued.” ‘The question of rates was only incidental- ly referred to, and the tariff adopted a year 4&go was not changed, and all the legisla- tion enacted was in the direction of trying to adapt themselves to the new conditions imposed by the legislatures of several of the states. Otficers Elected. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, S. Y. Tupper of Atlanta, Ga.; vice president, Charles Jannier of New Arleans; secretary, Charles C.

Testimony Showing How He Killed Military Jones, Coroner Hammett held an inquest yester- day afternoon over the body of William, better known as “Military” Jones, who was shot and killed by Louis Walker Mon- day evening. Hattie Bailey, the woman about whom the quarrel that led to the tragedy was started, testified that she had received the attentions of neither man late- ly, and that neither was a frequent visitor to her house. Walker rented a room from her. She declared that Jones come in and struck Walker with a market basket, and that she ran from the house, knowing there would be trouble. + Rosa Lane gave similar testimony about the occurrence, and Margaret Johnson swore that Jones entered the house, and going directly to the room where Walker |- and the Bailey woman were, ordered the former out of the house, at the same time striking him. Walker put on his coat, pull- ed out a pistol and went out of the door. In a short time he returned and shot Jones twice. Margaret Thomas corroborated this testimony, and after consultation with his lawyers Walker declined to make a state- ment. The jury, which consisted of F. J. Donnelly, Walter Love, James Torrence, J, M. Lowe, Milton Fenwick and John aan ton; held Walker responsible for the crime. —_—. __ CAPT. CRAIGIE INJURED. His Leg Broken and He is Now in the Hospital. Capt. D. J. Craigie of the twelfth United States infantry, stationed at Fort Niabrara, Neb., receatly met with a serious and pain- ful accident.
