The Fen the President used in signing the act will be presented. by him te Mr. J. Henry Small, jr., president of the board of con- trol, for preservation in the archives of the new temple. This will be good news to Masons every- where throughout the country, as any as- sociation of the strength and energy pos- sessed by the one now incorporated and in actual existence will without question achieve any object it determines to. It will be regarded, doubtless, by many of the ardent assistants at the fair as un- fertunate that President McKinley's pen cannot be dispesed of by votes er other- wise, but this only shows hew eager all are to help the project along in the very best way, which is substantially. Gallant Sir Kaights. It got a big boost in this direction vester- Gay. After standing every other test to which such enterprises are subjected, in- eluding those of picturesque beauty, ad- mirable management and the rest, the great Masonic fair and exposition in aid of the temple was victorious over the weatner, both in the afternoon ard last night. Despite the frowns of the elements, the vast structures devoted to the fair were filled with crowds equal in size to those which had preceded them, and amid the bright surroundings and countless at- tractfons the throngs lost all thaught of the weather and gave themselves up en- rele to the enjoyment of the social sunshine that warmed up all of them. The Knights Templar of the District were the guests last night, and. with white plumes waving and gold braid and buttons gleam- ing, a aost of them marched from their headquarters at 9th and F streets and stormed Convention Hall, adding immeas- urably to the beauty of the scene and in- creasing the temple fund in a correspond- ingly substantial manner. An Imposing Sight. Right Eminent Grand Commander Resin W. Darby wes in command, escorted by the other officers of the Grand Command- ery, énd in the imposing line were Wash- irgton Commandery, No. 1, under Eminent Commander Chas. T. Caldwell; Columbia Commandery, No. 2, led by Eminent Com- mander J. Henry Small, jr., who has been the moving spirit ir making the fatr suc- cessful as president of the board of con- trol; Potomac Commandery. No. 3, headed by Eminent Commender J. F. R. Appieby; De Molay Commandery, No. 4, under Emi- nent Commander Thomas N. Henderson, and Orient Commandery, No. 5, in charge cf Eminent Commander George C. Ober. The sight was very effective when the white-plumed sir knights marched into the hall and proceeding down the east avenue turned about and deptoyed through the central avenue, forming two lines, through which the officers of the Grand Com- mandery and the other five bodies mad. their way to the platform above the trance. Here they were received by Knight: Thomas P. Morgan and presented to Past Right Eminent Commander Frank H. Thomas, who greeted them with a warm welcome on behalf of the board of control. The commanderies then passed in review before the grand officers, and. dispersing through the hall and annex, gave their wal- lets a chance to be the target of every at- traction in both, which, it is needless to say, was eagerly taken advantage of by the fair skirmishers who are using their weap- ons so expertly in the campaign for coin. Attractive Features. The change of the entertainment direct- ed by Chairman Ed. B. Hay’s committee from the platform over the entrance to Convention Hall to the exhibition hall in the annex was appreciated by performers as well as audience. A large stage, hand- somely decorated with flags and bunting, had been erected, giving much better op- portunities for specialists to creditably ap- pear. The program included many fancy dances by the excellently drilled pupils of Miss Hawke, who were Misses Nellie Keane, Helen Durnin, Edna Kingsman, Louise Kerby, Mabel Owen. Leona Dietz, Selina Greenapple, Madeline Burnes, Nellie Lynch and Masters Willie Collier and Wil- lis Keane. Samvel Howard exhibited fancy bicycle riding and Major H. T. Domer put the expert drill squad of the High School Cadets through many manipulations. The Swiss chalet and the olde English village grew more and more popular, and the crowds couldn't get enough of the fun and fortune dealt out by the Mystic Shrin- ers at thcir Grecitn paddle stands. Scottish Rite Night. The consistories, councils, lodges and ehapters of the Ancient and Accepted Scot- tish Rite will be the guests of honor at the fair tonight, and no weather obstacles will keep them from turning out in full force. Consequently the fair guardians, “Castle of Coeur de Leon,” will sally out and seize and carry to the deep treasure rooms will- ing captives in the shape ef dollars.

From the Boston ‘Transcript The young men of Byfield are preparing for their annual snake hunting expedi- tion. The custom of celebrating the advent of spring with a grand reptile hunt is prob- ably indigenous to this section alone, but it has been followed here for many years, and the sport fs participated in by a large company of young men. A great many years ago a party of ycung men who were wending their way through a rough ture many miles from any habitation dis- covered a spot of remarkable beauty and stopped there to rest. One of the party caught sight of a snake of unusual size, which was no sooner dispatched with the ald of a great stone than another was seen gliding along the ground. In a few moments they were wriggling about in all directions, and the young men discovered that they were in the midst of a den of snakes. The ground was filled with snake noles, the winter abode of countless num- bers of the rcptiles. The young men rained stones on the heads of the snakes until they were tired and then decamped, net having lessened the number to any perceptible degree. €ince that time, about the middle of April, @ party of men arm themselves with shov- els and cudgels and stones and raid the snake colony. Every year finds no diminu- tion in the number of snakes, and conse- quently there is an abundance of “sport.” It is not every one, however, who takes delight in this kind of sport; for the wriz- gling, slimy creatures just awaking from their winter torpor are not pleasant-look- ing customers. It is not related that any woman ever took part in any of these expeditions. Sometimes a few hours of slaughter will accumulate nearly 250 fect of snakes, in- dividual specimens in some instances meas- uring six or seven feet. If any one has a desire to pay a lone visit to this city of snakes he will find it by the side of the B. and M. railroad, between Byfield and Newburyport, about two miles below the former place. This section has been given the pecullar name of “Penny Honorary.” Through it flows a sluggish stream. a per- fect habitat for reptiles that flourish in the low lands. The high land back of it the black snakes and the upland runners find in every way suitable for their win- ter’s rendezvous. in a short time after the vessel was dis- covered. Speculation as to whether there was any- thing contained in the echooner’s hold was frecly indulged in, and one fanciful old fcliow expressed the opinion that.it was one of Capt. Kidd's ships with sunken treasure on board. The theory was readily accepted by many, and considerable color oztly after given by the discovery of ity of old copper coins, many of a century old. The vessel had a long black hull, about 120 feet over all, and had been sch»oner rigged at one time. Later in the day the breaking up of the ril 18 is the date set by custom for | old hulk by the army of laborers, equipped tie erent siake hunt. Doubtless on that | ¥ith pickaxes and crowbars, began.

It is at this poinc where Delancy street is intersected by Mangin street that the Manhattan anchor- age of the new East River bridge is being built. There, jutting out from Mangin street, was an old wooden pier, to which sixty-five or seventy years ago vessels were tied up and disch: rged or took in their car- es. att was while the gangs of Italian labor- ers, armed with spade and pick, were ex- cavating far below the surface of the street yesterday that they unearthed the hulk of an old schooner, which had been entombed beneath the filled in ground of Delancy street all these years.

An emctioral preacher in England ob- served one Sunday that the whole of his congregation, .with the exception of ono little girl, who sat quite alone, was tn tears. He thereupon directed all his power to- ward the child, drawing such touching pic- tures thet the rest of the congregation grew more and more overcome, sobbing and crying, but the child still stared at him dry-eyed, and at length he was obliged to give it up and end the sermon. Meeting the child outside, he upbraided her for her bard-heartedness, and asked her why she did _not weep. “It is not that I'm_hard-hearted, responded, the child , “but I belong to another parish.” FIRST FLOOR.
