Cal ary Commandery Leaves for Den- ver With Banners Flyin}, CONFERRED DEGREE KNIGHT KADOSH $hriners Engaged in Perfecting Details for the Meeting of t mperint Counell —Clan Gordon Will Pienie Next Saturday. With banners flying the members of Mt Calvay commandery loft for Denver yes- day at 3 o'clock via the Buriington to attend the triennial conelave, Thoy will reach the mountain oity this morning at 7 o'clock it all goes well with them. Mt. Calvary com- mandery No. 1, the oidest commandery in the stato, was organized July 14, 1865, and chartered September 5, 1865. Among the men most intorested in_the orgauization of the commandery were Robert C. Jordan, af- terwards ocolloctor of ocuswms for Ne- "braska; Robert W. Furnas, later governor of the commonwealth; Herman Kountze, pr bank; Charles . W. Hamilton, prosident of the United States ' Nawlonal bank; Barry P. Duel, who was the first commander of tho state. KFrom the be- ginning Mt. Calvary was successful, and having the choice of the leading Masons of the oity to scloct from, its membership has nlways been kept to a high standard and now there are bankers, lawyers, politicians, rallroad men, scholars, business men to be found within the shadow of the keystone. Numbering as it now doos, 193 mombers, Mt. Calvary is the largest commandery in the state and hos the honor of presenting four grand commanders to the grand comman- dery, Harry P. Deuel, C. I, Catlin, Eben K. Long aud Louis H. Korty, three of whom are with the grand commandery enrouto to Donver. The prosent grand commander of the state is Sir Edgar C, Salisbury and re- s1des at Beatrice. While the commandery will not be as largely represented as was hoped for still the members take with them special souvenirs which will undoubtedly be in great demand among the visitors met through tho sign of the oross. The souvenir is in the form of a badge the bar across the top boing of white metal with ‘“Nebraska” engraved on its face in raised letters. From the bar Is suspended the colors of the commandery, white ana black, and to this 1s attached a medallion made of sluminum, heayily milled, with rays running from tho center to the outer edge. At four points are tho words, “lux,” “dux,” *“rex” and “lex,” while around tne center, which 18 in bas relief, is “*Mt. Calvary Commandery, Omaha, Neb.,” anda & tall cross fixed upon a rock. Itisan ex- ceedingly graceful badge and tte designer deserves a great deal of credit for his work. The following were among the Sir Knights who left yesterday, many of whom were accompanied by their wives, sisters and sweethearts : Harry P. Douel! past grand commarder; Eben K.

We were both wounded by pieces of the same shell and were taken from the field in the same ambulance, Poor Clarkalthough mortally wounded, thought of his comrado, and every fow minutes would suy he was giad that I was not 0 bad y injured as he wus and wus glad I was not going to lose my life as ho knew he w 8 going to lose his. “Wo were going to the field hospital and laid side by side to have our wounds dressod. A member of the sunitary commission camo up and gave each of us an orange. Clark noticed that hi orange was larger than mine and turned his shell-torn pain-tortured body over and handed his orange to mo, saying: *You take the piggest one, Andy; I haven’t long to live and I'd rather you'd have the big one. 1 won’t need it.” No man ever did a nobler thing, ~ Poor Clavk, I saw him die tho next morning and his last wish was that his wounded comrades might live.” A Reminiscence of Miss'onary Ridge. “That hole in my head was made at the battle of Missionary Ridge,” said Ezra Whipple to a St Louis Globe- Democrat waiter. *‘The Johnrnies were pouring lead into us, and we were ad- vancing in an irregular manner, every man taking care of himself.

The bullets were cutting the bushes all around me like a mighty hail storm. It seemed impossible that a human creature could stand upright a moment without being shot to fragments. I felt weak and sick and sat down on a bowlder and watched the builets chip the rocks and tear the bushes, but that another of them would touch me never occurred to me. I believed that the ball went clear through my head, and laughed when [ recalled 1 epigram that when the brains were out the man would die. The roar of the guns and the cheers of the combatants sounded like the crash of worlds, but did not interest me in the least. A tall sergeant near me was shot through the breast and fell across my feet, the blood spurting up from the wound like a tiny fountain, and 1 sat there ypatching it with an idle interest until I/again became unconseious. The ball had penetrated my skull and lodged against the tissue that covers the brain,” An Incident in Midocean, Captain H. D. Smith, U, S. N., re- counts a touching incident of the war in the current St. Nicholas: Larly one morning the mate was startled by the cry from gloft, *“Black smoke ahead, sirl A big steamer stand- ing to the southward.” The captain was called, and in a trice bounced on deck, where, applying the gluss to his eye, he took a long look at the stranger who had pushed so sudden- ly out of the enrly must hanging low upon the horizon. Whatever her character, we had but little chance of escape, if she had rifled guns. Many a glance of apprehension was directed toward the somber hull and pair of sloping smokestacks with the twisting smoke trending far astern. “Show him our colors, sir! Bend on the ensign; we may as well be hung for asheep as a lamb. If that fellow is a rebel, the sooner we know it the better!” exclaimed the captain somewhat ox citedly to the mate. It was close upon gix bells (7 o’clock) when the steamer revealed her nation- ality. We fairly yelled as the blood red cross of St. George danced up aloft from the signal-halyards. She was evidently a troop-ship bound for the cape, a trifle out of her course, but we did not stop to consider that. She was o far distant to speak, but in obedience 1o a gesture from the cap- tain, the mate emptied a bag of gaily colored signals on deck, and the boys were called aft to man the halyacds and tend a hand to bend on the magic flags. Upward fluttered the partly-colored bits of bunting, glasses were leveled, and breathless expectancy marked the sun- burnt features of the clippec’s crow, for the inquiry flying from our mizzen royal- mast was, **“What news of the American war?" “The flash of foam cast up by the huge propeller greeted our straining vision, the great steamer glided onward, but no responsive signals gladdened the anxious hearts of those yearning to hear news from home. With n passionate exclamation of disappointment the captain closed the joints of his long glass with a savage snap, saying as he turned away, ‘‘He hasn’t our code. It's no use.” *Look at that!” suddenly . exclaimed the wate, pointing. **What is he going todo?” “He is coming about,” shouted the captain, his bronzed features fairly pal- ing. *‘Can it be possible he has played us a trick, and is the Alabama? Stand by, all hands, for—" A deep blust of the steam whistle pumbled over the flushing waters, fol- lowed by & number of quick toots as the steamer ranged to leeward; then an ex- panse of white canvas wus lowered over the side. Glasses were directed upon that bright patoh amidships, upon which dark lines could be discerned with the naked eye. The glnss showed these were letters. “I have it!” shouted vhe eaptain, leap- ing excitedly into the rigging. “Spread the news fore and aft! It says: ‘The American, conflict is overl Davis a fugitive'—and what's that? Heavens, no—yes—‘Lincoln is killed!" *‘Strike the colors half-mast, sir,” con- tinued the captain to the mate, in asub- aued tone, Then he added: ‘*Hoist the signal, ‘Thank you,’ to the steamer.” At that moment tho rich, full tones of & reglmental band were walted across the heaving 8wolls, and many an eye glistened wilmut)liun as the well-known strains of *F&iL Uolumbia” were fuintly heard. Thegtcamer slowly fell off, and resumed her course, while, as if actuated by one impulkh, hfcers and men sprang into the weathai-rigging, giving three times three wnd waving their hats in re- turn for the Kthdness of the courteous Englishmen. The stars and stripes wero dipped three times, the hoarse whistle rang out in fetrin, the “moteor flag” slowly and majestically returned the sa- lute, und the'grecting in midocoan was over. v “The commander of that er gontleman—avary inch of him!” was the admiring redtk of the mate as he glanced astern at the fast fading troop ship. aft isa Abrahan reoln’s Genlus for War, Acrchibald Forbes, the noted war cor« respondent, writes in the North Amori- can Review: “When Ewell Shenandosh Valley Hooker’s advance already in the , Siokles, heading was no further than at Bealeton, two marches out from hoad- quarters on tho Malmouth plateau. Hooker, setenely remaining there, was meditating the dubious exploit of stri ing at Hill, still remaining on the Fred- ericksburg intrenchments, a project of which the president disapproved in torms as quaint as thoy were strategic- ally sound. ~ The enemy, he wrote, would be fighting bohind intrenchments, ‘‘and have you at disadvantuge, and so, man for man, worst you av that point while his main force would in some way be get- ting an advantage of you northward. Inone word, I would not take any risk of being entangled upon the river like an ox jumped half over a fence and liable to be torn by dogs frontand rear without a fair chance to pore one way or kick the other.” Then, Leo in full march onthe upper Potomac, Hooker made the wild proposition that he should be allowed to march on to Richmond, a project which might have resulted in the fulfillment of Lees grim jest ahout ‘‘swapping queens.” This erratic scheme found no favor with Lincoln, whose answer w I would not go south of Rappahanock upon Lee’s moving north of it. [f you had Richmond invested today you would not be able to take it in twenty days. I think Lee’s army and not Richmond is your sure objective point’—the great fact which the president had already comprehended in the early duys, and never after left grip of it. 1 Hooker struck camp on June being so polite as fo see him off before he, too, moved. . He hurt Lee nowhere south of the Potomae, It is quite true, if it were anything to be proud of, that in the words of the biographers. Hooler *'was able at pecfect leisure to choo: his time and phice for crossing il river.” Indeed, with somewhat mis placed complaisnce, he “waited” until Le sy was on the north side, and, while at 166gth he was leisurely crossing. Ewell and Hill and Long were also’ choosing &t perfect heir times and places for h rying unfortunaté Pennsylvania almost o the Susquehuh Yot Hooker on the Potomac was preferable to Hooker fiddling outside Richmond while Rome was burning bayond the Virginia line, and it has to bo said that but for the dent he might have been in the cality. Lincoln does not ap- pear to have wrilten any strategic let- ters to Grant,, Sherman or Sheridan, There is an interpsting _series of letters of that character fo: Burnside in east Tennesses dnring Rosecrans’ ovil duys in Chattanooga, but the subject is of subordinate importance. Some of. the president’s lotter te Rosecrans would strengthen the contention that he pos- sessed strategic genius were there space to quote and elucidate them. Owns the Baitlefield No An evening or two ago Sergeant Georgo Munros of the police dopart- ment, says the Boston Transeript, while riding on a street car, engaged in con- versation upon politics with a stranger, in the course of which the sergeant an- nounced himself as n Harrison man. “And why?” asked the stranger. “Because I fought under Harrison,” was the reply. “Were you in the Atlanta campaign, and do you remember the battle of Kzra Church?” asked'the stranger with con- siderable earnestness. “I was and 1 do; theengagement of my regiment—the 104th Ohio Volunteer in- fantry—at that place is marked on the vegimental flag as ‘Battle of Utoy Creek.” They are one and the same.” *“Well, I own that pattlefield now; my name is Stone—Dr. Stone—and I am glad to have haa met a man who had bullets fired at him on the site of my residenc and, by the way,” said the doctor, 1 have in'my pocket some of the rebel minnie-balls which I recently unearthed neur my house. Perhaps you would like one as a souvenir, Here it is.”” The sergeant Look the proflerea bul- let, and if it were gold he would not value it more, A Unlon Flag F Perhaps the most interesting war velic in Maine, says the Lewiston Journal, is'a union flag made from the undershirts of the prisoners at Salishury prison. The prisoners had sot a day upon which they intended to riso and overpower the guards. The f tobe used usa rallylng sigoal before the day arri them to be exchanged.

Milan is to hayb'un electrical exhibi- tion in 1804, A patent has/baén issued for alock which can be opgrated only by a mag- netized key. bl An incandescirfTamp without a fila- ment is the next electrical improvement we are promised. Carriages fitted, with electric lamps were used by spamieers during the re- cent campaign in‘flhglund. The revolution’/that electric traction is working is sh by the advertised sale of #500,000 wosih of stables by the West End Streevadail way, of Boston. There is to be ipslalled at Geneva a gi- gantic water power plant which will eclipse anything-of the kind in Switz land. Fifteen turbines are to be placed on a small island in the Rhone and they are to produce 12000 horse power, which will be utilized to light Geneva with electricity, The mental glucinum is suggestea as applicable to eleotricul instruments where its extreme lightness und its high conduetivity would make its use ndvan- tageous. It is lighter than aluminum, stronger thun iron and has a better con- ductivity than copper, besides resisting oxidization, while its costis estimated at about 81 per ounce, The great increase in the use of the telephone in England is giving much concern o the Government Post Office, which it is fearful that the spread of telephony may interfere with its tele- graph business. That there s consider- able ground for the alarm is cortain, ns last year the telephone compunies in Great Britain distributed 160,000,000 messages against a total of 66,000,000 by the Post Office, but it is hard to guess the nature of the proposed ro- medy. An outcome of the incroasing use of electri heating s the electrical metal twisting machine. This used in production of twisted metal bars which are largely utilized for stair rods, fencepickets, ofiice partitions, elevas tors and other ornamental wor It is found that where the electric current is employed for heating bar shaped blanks, the metal heats from the inter- ior instead of from the exterior, asin the ovdinary blacksmith’s forge; also that there are no gases introduced into the metal when it is electrically heated, and consequently when the blank is twisted no scale is formed and the metal is left clexn and free from blemishes, The voto put upon the trolley system of electri¢ traction in both New York and Philadelphia has turned the atten- tion of inventors more than ever to the long hoped for perfection of either the storage battery or the conduit system. A short line has beoen operating in Chicago using a new style of under- ground conduit, which, after a few breakdowns has been running success- fully under varying conditions, and a longer one has boen oporating under favorable conditions in Budapest for some time past. There are no overhead wires at tho World’s fair grounds. An immense con- duit 64 feet square, has been built di- tly under Machinery hall, running bss the grounds slightly below the surface w the clectrical building, from which branches ave carried to other sec- ons of the exhibit. Arms are to bo rried on both sides of this conduit just long enough to leave space in the centor for & man to walk throught conviently whenever it 1s necessary to inspect the wires or make any repairs. Electricty is making great progress in Japun. Tokio has an electric society having over a_thousand members and Nippon is forming an electric light ns- sociation.
