16 ECHOES FROM THEANTE-RODM Ben Barrows' Story of “Poor Fellow Sol- diers,"" the Templars, EARLY ORGANIZATION OF THE ORDER An Interesting Tale Founded on Fact and tHily To 1gs of the Week In State and City Lodge ™ In view of the coming triennial conclavo of Knights Templar that is to be helain Denver in August next, the following brief history of the crder, prepared by Ben Bar rows, an ardent Sir Knight ana the genial chief of the Unfoa Pacitic adver.ising depart- ment, will prove of ereat interest: Two armcd knights mounted upon one poorly caparisoned hurso—this is the pathotic picture wo have presented to us of the early poverty of the most renowned and most pow erful military and religious order ever known on eartn! r, 80 runs the legend, whon Hugh De Payens and his friend and comrade, Godfrey do St. Aldemar, founded the order in 1115, so poor were they that in their tirst journey they oth rode on one horse, and this fact was perpetuated on the great seal of tho order. During the eleventh snd twelfth centuries, multitudes of pilgrims, induced by tho pious superstition of the age, visited Jeru- salom for tho purpose of offering their dovo- tions at tho scpulchre of our Lord. Many of theso pilgrims wero aged and weak, almost ull of them wnarmed, and in their defence Joss state were an easy proy for the maraud- Ing Arabs who continued to infest Palestine oven after the vapture of Jerusalem by the Christians, It was under these circumstances that De Payens and St. Aldemar and seven others enterca into a solomn compuct to aid each other in clearing the roads and to ad, assist and defend pilgrims on their journoy to the holy city. Balawin the second, king of Jerusalem, RAVO Lhem every encoaragement,and assigned them lodgings in his palace near the tradi tional sito of the temple, and tho abbot of the adjoining church zave them a house for an armory, ‘I he street between the palace and temple in which they lived bec known as the ‘“street of tho templar whence they derived the name they ever afterwards retained. . Tho order united the monastic with the military charactor, and the Kuights wore at once “priests and’ soldiers.” 'I'he brothren ook, In the presence of tho Patriarch of Jo- rusaicm, tho usual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience,and with great bumility called themselves ¢ fellow soldiers of Jesus Christ” and **poor soldiers of the church.” Their number was not allowed to S vond nine till the Council of Troyesin which Hugh De Payens and five of his companions attended, and which commis- sioned St Bernard of Clairvaux to draw up for them. These new obligations weat \dt the usual vows of abstinence; the hts were to defend the Christian relig- ion, the sacraments, the creeds, the unity of the divine nature, to perform military ser- vico beyond the seas whenever called upon toao £o, and never tofly before threo infidels even when alone. These rules were divided into seventy-two articles and were approved by Pope Honorius in 1128, From this time forward the history of the order shows o long series of brilliant suc- cesses, Thelittle band of ninespeed intoas many thousands: their her 8 to the Christians of Palestine made them al once favorites with all the princes and peo- ples of Cbristendom. So rapidly did they grow in power and possessions that an old historian says in the middle of the thir- teenth century they owned over 9,000 manor houses and tho lands belonging thereto. Their power and influence can hardly be cs- timated. Kings curried favor with the haughty grand nisster of tho Templars ana those renowned Koights made and unmade campaigns at their pleasure. During the gradual decay of the Christian power in Palestine the Templars failed to make secure their possessions in that coun- try. The immenso woalth of the order and 1ts oxtensive ramifications throughout Europe drew on it the jealousy and suspicion of maoy princes. Philip of France, irritated by his inaoility to tox the order, deteMmined on its destruction. Heinduced Pope Clement VI to have a judicial inquiry instituted into the orthodoxy and morality of the order, and in June, 1. the pope wrote DeMolay, then grand masler, to come to him at Parls and consult on import- ant matters conmected with tho order. DeMolay obeyed the summons ana left Cyprus with sixty knights and large sums of treasure, arriving at Paris early in 1307, Tmmediately on his arrival he was im- prisoned, and on the 13th of October follow- ing, every knight in Irance was taken into custody and their hous sand property seized. Cloment sent in a list of accusatious, 120 in uumber, to the archibishops and papal com- missioners who were to examine tho knights The main points in this long list were that the order abjured Christ and the Virgin; that they denied the atonement; that they worshipped a cat; practiced obscenc cere- monies; contonded that the grand master had the power of absolution; practiced magic, and numerous other heresis. The trial was a farce, for the fate of tho knights was a foregone conclusion. On May 12, 1310, fifty- four of them were publicly bur.ed and on the Isth of March, 1313, DeMolay and othor high digoitaries of the order were burned at the stake. The order ceased at once through- out Christendom. Their movable property for the most part was appropriated by the sovereigns of those countries in woich it was deposited, und although their lauded posses- sions wero nominally transferred to the Hos- pitallors, the crown sceured the disposition of them. From the establishment of the order by De Payens until its dissolution with the death of DeMolay, the knights wero presided over by twenty-two grand mastors, Tho death of DeMolay practically dissolved the order,butit survived in a disin- teerated fashion in many portions of Burope. Thore are four sources from which the Masonic Templars are said to have derived ieir existence, making, therefore, as many erent divisions of the order, ‘The Templars who claim John Mark minius as the successor of James De Molay. Second. Those who recognize Peter d'Au- mont as the successor of De Molay. Third. Those who derive their Templarism from the Count Beaujou, the nophew of De Molay. Fourth, Those who claim an indeperdent origin, and repudiate alike the authority of Larmivius, of d’ Aumont, of Beaujou, From the first class springs the Templars of France, who profess to have continued the order by authority of a charter given by De Molay to Larminius, This body of Templars designate themsolves as the “Order of the Temple.” Its seat is in Pars. The duke of Sussex received from it the degree and au- thority to establish a grand couciave i Bug- land. He did so and convened that boay once, but only once. During the remaining years of nis life, Templarism had no activity in England, as he aiscountenanced all Chris- uan and chivalric Masonry. The second division of Templar: which is. founded on the theory that d@’Aumont fled with several Kuights into tland and there united with the Free- masons, This legend is intimately con- nected with Ramsey’s traditions --that Free- masonry sprang from Templarism, and that all Freemasons ure Knights Templar, The third division is that which asserts that Count Beaujeu, & nephew of thoe last grand master, De Moluy, sud a member of the Order of Knights of Christ—the name mssumed by the Templars of Portugal —had recelved autbonity from that order to disseminute the degree. He is sald to have carried the degree aud its ritual into Sweden, where he incorporated it with Freemasonr Of the last class, or the Templars who recognized the authority of mneither of the leaders who have been mentioned, thore were two subdivisions,the Scotch and the Englist ; for it is only iun Scotland and England that this indepondent Templarism found a foot- bold, It was A:::{y in Scotland that tho Templars endu no persecution, Long after the dissolution of the order in every other country of Europe, the Scottish pre- ceptories continued to exist and the Kuights slved undisturbed. One portion of the Scot- tish Templars entered the army of Lobert Bruce, and, after the battle of Banuockburn ‘were merged in the ‘“‘Royal Order of t- land,” tpen established 'by bim. Another rtion of the Scottish Templars united with fhe iKuights Hospitallers of St. John. They lived amiocably in the same houses, aud con- tinued to do 80 until the Reformation. The Evglish Masouio Tewplars are most THE probably darived from that body oalled the “Baldwin encampment,’’ or fromo some one of the four co-ordinate encampments of Loa don, Bath, York and Salisbury, which 18 claimed were formed by the members of the preceptory which had long existed at Bris tol, and who, on the dissolution of their order, are supposed to have united with the Masonic fraternity. The Baldw! ment claims to have existed from ‘“‘time 1m- memorial’—an indefinite period —but we can trace it back far enough to give it a priority over all other English_encampments. From this division of the Templars, repudiating all connections with Larminius, —with a'Aumont, or any of the sclf-con- stitutea leaders, but tracing 1its origin to the independent action of Knights who fled for security and perpetuity into the body of Masonry we are justly entitied to derive the Templars of the United States. The grand encampment of the Unitea States is seventv-six years old and was founded Juno 20, 1816, at New York city. An illustrious American was chosen for the first grand masier and served threo terms in that capacity; DeWitt Clinton of New York. The statistics of the order show a steady thero were in the United jghts: in 1880, 50,681: in 020, and in 1801, 88,004, Threre wero 1870 in the Unitea 8 rch Masons; in_ 1880, 1 he Master Masons in 18 es numbered 483,35 in 1880, 0, 651,028, and in 1801, 673,64 The same sturdy manhood animates tho templar of today, just as it did the old ha roic knights on inany a well fought ficld The crusades ave indeed past and the age of chivalry has gonabut if an emergency should arise what a nostof fightipg templars would respond to the summons in defense of truth and the Chnstian religion. The Knights ride on no more forays, nor seok adventure boyond the charmed baths of peace, but their pilgrimages to the triennial erand en- campment continue to grow in interest. n 1800, 157,= ) 1n the United 3 in K.

From one end of the country to the other, the growth of the order is unprecedented. Never in the history of any secret benevo- lent socfety have such marvelous guins boen known. It is increasing at the rate of 50,000 a year, and will soon march past some of its older 'sisters. It seoms especially to meet the wants and desires of the young men of tho couutry; it1s American in thought and sentiment. The Kausas City Tlmes has offered a splendid prize to bo awarded at tho coming encampment, which will be for the brigade commander whose name shall receive tho largest vote of the visitors.

Invitations are out for the second anuual ball of Lily division, .No. 8, Uniform Ranlk, to be given tomorrow evening at Blum's hall, South Omaba, The committea of arrange- ments is_composed of Sir Knights T.

Thr- teen caudidates have been initiated into the mysteries of the work, and more apblications have been received. A uniform rank is con- templated in the near future. Goodrich Lodge, No. 144, visited Myrtle lodge at Pythian hall last Monday evening. The call was a very agreeable ote and will undoubtedly be productive of increased har- mony and fraternal fellowship. r.E. 0, One of the social events of the season at Superior was the open session of the P. E. O, chapter. The ladies of this order give an open meeting every quarter, which consists of a literary and musical entertainment, fol- lowed by refreshments, So far these enter- tainments have been very successful, not only from a literary standpoint, but socially as well. The last entortainment conspired to make the event more enjoyable than any other thus far given. One hundred and forty guests assembled in the society’s lodge room ana listened to a program that could not fail to please. All the productions were good, but two or three deserve special mention, Mrs, G. L. Day’s paper on “'Ella Wheeler Wilcox" was exceedingly interesting, giving wformation that should be known by every one interested in woman's work for woman, Mrs, G. W. Stubbs on “Jume Russell Low- el ‘was elogant in thought and expression, Mrs. Robert Guthrie's article on ‘“‘Mary, Queen of Scots” exhibited thorough kuowl- edge of that unhappy woman's life, The crowning event of the evening, however, was the musical part performed by the P. E. ©O. children. For several weeks Mrs, Alice Carey Briggs has been tralninga very juvenile orchestra, Ikloy KEbert, 9 years old, was violinist; Master Guy Fadden, 12 years old, first guitar: Veva Fadden, 6 years old, second guitar, When the ages of these chil- dren aud the high class of music played by them is considored, they cortainly displayed decided talent for music, making their per- formance 8 remarkable ono, Protty Floy with the violin, Veva almost covered by her guitar and Master Guy playing with the air of a professional, made a picture long to bo rewembered, Mrs, Briggs deserves great credit for the patience and skill in her train- ing of these children, and her love for music makes her a generous helper wherever sho finds the least talent. In closiag the program Florence MeNaughton recited *The Goblins Will Cateh You.” Many elocutionists have attempted this piece, but it has taken a child to give an almost perfoct rendition, Her recitation almost made the guests glance over theirshoulders for the dreaded goblius, At the close of the program dainty refresh- ments were served by the ladies and auv hour passed in pleasant conversation, Among the guests from outside were Miss Kate Wig- man of Omaba, Mrs, Anna Hawkesworth and daughter of Wymore, Mrs. Foster, Mrs, James A, Devore, Misses Maud Brittain, Bradley and Gorby of Nelson, Miss Leoper of Kausas City and Miss Spear of Aspen, Colo. 0.

Union Pacific OMcials Invite the Council to Examine a New Sehedule. The city council’s novement to control the switching charges over tracks occupying streets and alloys has been mat by the Union Pacitic with a new tariff wtended to placate the city. Assistant General Manager Dickinson has notified the council's commitiee on viaducts and railways that ho has prepared a revised switching schedule, and he has asked the committee to meot him and discuss it. Chairman Prince says he can see nothing to bo gained by such a conference, ana the committee has made no engagoment to mect Mr. Dickinson, though it may con- clude to do so. If the Union Pacific oxpects to hang up the ordinance aimed at its switching extortion by an offef ot re- duced charges i is quite likely to bs fooled. Mr. Princo says o committee report is now being prepared that will urge the passage of the ordinance. He also says toat the inten- tion is to then introduce another ordinunce renewing tho Union Pacific's right to use streets and alleys for switchos, but retaining 1 the council the power to regulate the charges on such tracks. Mr. Prince visited about fifteen wholesale firms and they ali denounced the receutly en- acted switching tariff as extortionate. ~ Mr. Prince then oalled on General Manager Clark to geta full understanding of the question. Mr. Clark did not seem to think that the increased charges were too high, but he said a mistake hud been made 1n ad vancing the rates in one sweeping change in- stead of doing it zraaually. Itis under- stood that the schedule now proposed wiil make a considerable reduction, but will not be as low as the old one. ROADHOUSES MUST PAY LICENSE. Result of u Test Case in the District Court— Little Litigations, Saloon men on the two-mile strip are in sackcloth and ashes, They have fought their fight and bave met with defeat. Last week when the indictmonts were re- turned against the twenty-four men they all plended not guilty before the coart when ar- g ned. The county commissioners were inclined to do what they considered the square thing and at onee held out the olive braueh, inform- ing the parties that if they would pay in the license for this year, $500 in each case, the prosecutions would not bo pushed. Two of the men accepted the terms, but the others wanted to go to law. Tney argued that the law requiring them to contribute 00 per annum each to the county school fund was illegal and void. Upon pooling their issues they decided to allow the test to be made aganst Frank Shannon, who keeps a saloon on West Leavonworth street. In his case the in- dictment contained five counts, charging that without first having obtained a license he sold liquors on that many days to numer- ous porsons. The case was commenced before Judge Dayis Thursday and closed yesterday morn- ine, Thejury was instructed and sent out in charge of ‘a bailiff, to return ten minutes later with a verdict fincing the defendant guilty as charged in the first count of the in- dictment. Tho penalty in such cases is a fine of not less than $100 nor more than §00, or impris onment for a term not exceeding one year, or both such fine and imprisonment, e La Grippe sfully Treated, “I have just recoverca from a second attack of the grip this year,” says Mr, Jamnes 0.

Mrs. Creighton's Bequest. When Mrs, John A. Creighton died some years ngo she boquoathed $50,000 to St. Josenl’s hospital to b invested in o new building. Mr. Creighton decidea about two years ago that he would increase the beguest and erect a hosvital building that would meet the requirements of the Sisters of St. Fran- eis, wiio have charge of Joseph’s hos pi- tal, for half a century or more and be u credit to Omaha and to the nameof the Creighton family. Ho purchased a full biock of ground on the hill near the inters tion of Tenth and Castellas streats and began to plan for tho erection of tho very )dsomo and massive structure that is new nearing completion, The work began in September, 1880, and if nothing bappens to interrupt tho workmen the building will be ready for oceupaney by tho Ist of May next. A Model Building. The building is & model of solidity and con- venience. It fronts toward the west on “Tenth sireet and the length of the frontage 17rom the end of the main build- ing wings extend eastward, These wings are almos e s the main bulding which faces Tenth street, the structuro thus forming three sides of a square. The entire building rises three full stories and an attic high basement. 1t is practically a v and attic building, for the floor of the basement is only about two feet below tho surface. ‘I'he wings are each forty-two feet wido und the main portion of the siructure is fifty feet wide. The Main Entrance, In the conter of the main builaing, facing Penth streat, there is a projection which commodates und lends effectiveness to tho main entrance, This projection rises the full height of the building, aud above the roof terminates in a tower which 1s sur- mounted by a cross ten feet long and fonr feet wide. " From the floor of the basemoent to the top of the cross itis 117 feet. Over the main entranca, and built into the wall as though 1t bad peen there from the beginning of time, stands a beautiful brown stone arch with exquisito tracery of leaves and flowers about the following mseription, which is cut iu the solid stone just ubove tho heads of ull who enter . years Br.

In the Rotunda, The visitor next steps into what will be when completed u beautiful rotunda from which a wide, double staircase rises flight after flight to the top story and thence to the top of the tower a single flignt of stairs fur. pishes the means of ascent. Running through the main building from north to south and connecting directly with the larce square hall or rotunda just inside the mauin entrance there is 4 wide' corridor into which all the rooms in the main build- ing open. This corridor is also extended through the center of the two wings of the building and tho apartments on either side open into it. There is a flizht of stairs from tho basement all the way to the attic at each end of the main building and at the outer ends of the wwo wings. These, with the main stairway near the entrance make five flights of stairs in the building. There are in all 149 apartments 1n the mam moth structure, The Interior Finish, The interior finish of the entire building is of oak and yellow pine. The hinges una knobs on all the doors are solid bronze. The floors and walis are all deadened with cement and sand. In the heating, lighting and ven- tilating nothing but the most approved mod- ern appliances have been utilized, Large, convenient apartmeants have becen arranged for the special use of the sistersand a separate parlor and dining room have beon set aside for guests and visitors, The apart- ments for the accommopation of patients are much larger than are usually scen in hos- In addition to the separate apart- ments there aro eight wards 14x50 feet, and eight more 14x25 feet in dim There are several rooms built esp for insane patients. I'wo rooms which are not accessi- ble from the interior of the building uave been planzed for a morgue or *‘dead house.” Culinary Facilities, In the basement there is a large, airy kitchen, avother large apartmeut to be used as a bakery, cold storage rooms, wine and vegetable cellurs, laundry and every conceiv- able convenience. Two large shafts nave been built from basement {0 garret for the accommodation of dumb waiters upon which victuals will be carried to the patients, Con necting with these dumb waiters on each floor serving rooms where the victuals may be waken from the dummy and distriou- ted to tue various apartmenis.
