WILL VISIT DECOTO. One point to where nearly every Sir Knight who attends the conclave will make a pilgrimage is the Masonic Home at Decoto. Near this institution ereeted a beautiful temple, where aged M ns may hold their ceremo- nies. s edifice was built by Sir Knight M. Siminoff of this city at & cost of $28,000. The grand stands along the route of parade are controlled partly by the ex- ecutive committee of the Knights Templar of California and by subordinate local Some subordinate commanderies from the interior of California have also had grand stands erected for the accommodation of their friends and families, while others are con- trolled by outside parties. Those erect ed by the executive committee, five in number, are all on Van Ness avenue and have an aggregate seating capac- ity of about 4500. The reviewing stand, at the south- west corner of Sutter street and Van Ness avenue, is reserved entirely for the Grand Encampment, the officers of the varjous Masonic grand bodies and 1In- vited guests. Its seating capacity is only 1200, and the apportionment. of seats on this stand has been assigned to Grand Captain General Charles L. Field. The other four stands and the assignment of seats thereon have been committed to J. K. Firth, chairman of the committee on buildings and grand stands. The seats are intended for the ladies coming with visiting Sir Knights. NEVADA COMMANDERY. One exhibit Nevada Commandery will display, which its members value greater than all the gold, is the banner made of all the badges used at the conclave held in San Francisco twen- ty the souvenirs of all commanderies from every jurisdiction throughout - ‘the TUnited States. The collection was made | by Mrs, Edward Coleman, wife of Enti- nent Sir Edward Coleman, grand treas- | urer of the Grand Commandery of Cal- ifornia, and by her presented to Nevada Commarnidery. The badges are artis- -| tically worked on a background of silk around the center of a cross and crown of gold. The harmonious grouping and coloring make it a work of art, while the pleasant memories. of twenty-one years ago, which twine about it, make it the most precious of all exhibits that <can possibly be brought to the con- clave. NEVADA'S GOLDEN WEALTH. Nevada Commandery No. 6, Thomas Ingram eminent commander, has un- dertaken to demonstrate to the visit- ing Sir Knights that there is enough gold left in California to sustain the reputation of the Golden State as the greatest producer of the precious metal for decades still unborn. The comman- dery will have a mineral exhibit at the Mechanics' Pavilion during conclave week that will compensate visitors from distant parts for the trip in studying it. The committee selected by the com- mandery for that duty has succeeded of McKinley, Who Was a Frater of the Ord commanderies. | ne years ago, and thus contains | er < ferous quartz in the State. The “prominent citizens” committee, acting in conjunction with the commit- tee of the Knights Templar committee, will issue a special bulletin to all vis- itors. Some of the citizens who are engaged ih the work ar William Mc- Murray, F. W. Dohrmann, Andrea Sbar- | boro, Rufus P. Jenninngs, | Wright and L. M. King.

SPREAD FEASTS FOR ANCESTORS | Chinatown Feeds and Gives | Clothing to the Spirits of Many Ghost Visitors | L. | The pious of Chinatown concluded a series of feasts spread for their an | tors terday. Unless an has an ancestor who siipped on Ply- mouth Rock or waited with Warren at Bunker Hill, he has little veneration | for his family tree. But Chinese an- | cestors must have their veneration or | there will be trouble in the home of the | descendant. ‘es- | After death, according to the explan- street, the Chinese ancestor becomes a deévil. Once a year he comes back to tarth to glance over his descendants. He is always as hungry as a country relation him along. Seaweed stew, abalon on the haif shell, chow yuck and al the delicacies of the season are spread for the wandering ghost-devil. Sometimes other people’s ancestors are yours, too. There must be quite a rumpus among the devils. Two an- cestors, for instance, approach Ah Sing’s feast. “That's my descendant,” cries one ancestor. “He's mine.'I saw him first,” shouts the other. And then the two ghosts have it out in their invisible clement. Of course everybody has an ancestor or two who is likely to call. Conse- quently feasts have been spread in | every street and alley of Chinatown. | Tomtoms have been going and fid- | dies @mueaking through it all. { The Chinese have a clever scheme lof getting rid of the spirit visitors. They burn return certificates to China and paper clothing, which then fall into the hands of the shades. These gentry don the robes, stuff the return certificates Into their pockets and hike | back to Ching. The worshipers make sure that plenty of clothing is burned. {If an ancestor showed up in the flowery land without alsuit of clothes, all the other ghosts would give him the laugh and the next time he showed up he would bring trouble. When the ancestors have eaten their fill the general public does the rest. Yesterday the chow was so good that even the much revered Tauist priests were overturned in the rush for the dainties. The ancestors had very poor appetites. S S S TWO HUNDRED VIEWS. The Most Wonderful Scenery in the ‘World.

When Nelson got to the room the young man knocked him down and robbed him of his watch and $6 in coin. From the descrip- tion the; officers suspected Petrovitch and they went to his room at 702 Val- lejo street, where Nelson identified him as the robber. The room was searched and Nelson's watch was found, also four others supposed to be the product of other robber! Sweeney was arrested late Saturday night in Washington Square Park. He is suspected of bLeing one of the trio of youths who robbed Harry Peters, an old man from Niles, in a lumber | yard at Sansome and Lombard streets early Friday morning. -He met the ' trio in a saloon and they told him they would introduce him to a nice young woman. They left the saloon | and when they reached the lumber- | yard they knocked him down and rob- | bed him of his watch and $37.| Sweeney has been arrested several | times. A few months ago he was charged with grand larceny, but the eyidence was not strong enough and | he was discharged. Two of the other victims of the| gang were A. Vargo, laborer from Oakland, whose silver watch was| taken from him at Montgomery ave- | nue and Broadway early Friday morn- | ing and Andrew Hunker, 1695 Pacific avenue, who was robbed of a gold watch, valued at $150, and a few cents on Filbert street, Kearny and Montgomery, early Satur- | day morning. ——————————— | HEARSE AND SUBURBAN i CAR HURLED TOGETHER Although Vehicle Is Badly Wrecked, the Casket It Contained Is | Not Injured. | demolished hearse and a pair of horses scurrying over the hills wvas the result of a collision between a suburban Mission-street car and a hearse from the undertaking establish- ment of McFadden, McBrearty & Green.

The two vehicles came hard to- gether and the hearse was completely wrecked. The wheels were smashed, all the plate glass was broken and the running gear was disabled. The ors breaking the pole from the hearse, continued their run, disappear- ing down the street. Fortunately the hearse with all its rough treatment was not overturned and the casket it contained was undisturb&d and unin- jured. The casket was transferred to another hearse and the procession pro- | ceeeded to the cemetery. —_———— | The St. Louis Exposition. | If you are going to the Exposition, or | anywhere else, you want a trunk or a dress suit case: no assortment so great and no prices so low for good traveling outfits as our Leather Goods Department.

Only hard and prompt work by | the remnant of the Twenty-eighth In- | fantry left in the cantonment saved | the frame buildings known as “Offi- cers Row” and occupied by the offi- cers of that regiment from being wiped out. The fire started in the tall grass on the hill back of the cantonment, be-| tween the “Row” and the road lead- | ing to the First avenue entrance to | the reservation. A lighted cigar was| probably the cause of the blaze, which | spread through the dry grass and ran | down the hill in the direction of the | buildings. Within a few minutes the | whole hillside was in flames. The Presidio population is smaller | than for years, the bulk of the men being away at Atascadero for lh"K maneuvers. Of the Twenty-eighth In- | fantry not more than half a score out of each company are at the canton-| ment and many of these were out of | the grounds when the fire occurred. Those who remained had their hands full with fighting the swift fire in the grass and protecting the officers With brush and limbs cut} however, and kept them away from The fire was at last extinguished without serious damage to the cantonment. ——————— Trapper’s Ofl cures rheumatism and neuralgta.
