Short 19 o'clock the patient grew | nger and it was determined to per- mit him to rest, the supposition being that the fracture, if such exists, is not so serious as was at first suppoed. | He showed a tendency to recover. At | midnight he was resting comparatively with a good chance of recovery. ff took a great interest in | Home at Decoto and from | the cornerstone was laid up the present he was ready to help it with suggestions and money. Shortly after the home had been opened he be- came interested in the Boys’ Band and he presented each member a uniferm. Subsequently he decided to donate to the home a brick cottage so that there time might be added comfort for the in- mates. After a site in proximity | 1o the home had een selected he let a contract for the building of the cottage &t a cost of nearly $20,000 and when it was completed he presented it to the board of trustees of the home in per- petuity for the Masonic fraternity and the gift was accepted on behalf of Grand Lodge of California by Grand Master Orrin L. Henderson. The death of Sir Knight Joseph Leath wat a sad blow to the members of | Coeur de Lion Commandery and has 2 shadow over the gtherwise pleas- | visit of the Tennessee order. Mr. | Leath was riding in a carriage at the bead of his commandery and when it | reached the corner of California street and Van Ness avenue he stepped out of the vehicle to make place for an Bir Knight who had become exhausted from the long walk. Joining his com- mandery ranks Mr. Leath walked about fifteen paces when he suddenly sank to | the street, throwing his hand over his | beart with & groan. In a few seconds he was a corpse. An ambulance in charge of Dr. 8. M. Mouser was near by and the body was quickly placed therein and driven tq| the Morgue, where Deputy Coroner-Mc Cormick gave permission to have it re] moved to an undertaking parlor. CONSTERNATION IN RANKS. Sir Knight Leath was a native of Knoxville, Tenn.,, aged 60 years, and was one of the most enthusiastic of the members of his commandery. He had looked forward with interest to the| parade and had made the boast that he had attended nearly all of them that had occurred since that of 1883 in San Frantisco. The startling death of Mr. | Leath caused considerable consterna- Sion in the ranks of the marching Knights and the procession was halted several minutes in consequence of the confusion that resulted. ° Shortly after the report was received at the Emergency Hospital of Mr, Leath’s death a call was sent in from Market and Eighth streets.

McDonnell of Oakland Com- mandery ,fainted while on the march at Pine street and Van Ness avenue. His fellow Knights assisted him to the ambulance and he was cared for by the hospital assistants. May Costello, the eight-year-old daughter of Thomas Costello, a grocer at 230% Langdon street, was seriously injured by falling through a skylight on the roof of a house at Ténth and Market streets. The weight of the girl's body broke the glass and she fell a dis- tance of twelve feet. Her injuries con- sist of two broken fingers on her left hand, a broken rib on the right side and internal injuries, which may prove fatal. She was treated at the Emer- gency Mospital by Chief Surgeon John 1. Stephen. ———— LADIES WILL ENTERTAIN. Afternoon and Efcl;lng Programmes to Be Given at the Palace.

The little fellows were clad in full Templar uniform. At the head of the"St. Bernard Com- mandery No. 35 marched Sir Knight G. C. Kramer. This Templar is lame as the result of an accident, but he in- sisted ‘on parading with his fraters, though every step caused him a twinge of pain. Aided by a cane he remained on his feet until the parade was dis- missed. With this commandery was a mag- nificent St. Bernard dog, one of the largest of its kind. The animal seemed to have caught the spirit of the day. He held his head high and walked with a dignified stride. SEVENTH DIVISION. The seventh grand division formed on Powell street, south of Geary.

When they did, however, they marched in snappy shape to the splendid music of Mones Concert Band and the band of the Fifth Regiment of Oakland.

Walker, assisted by the Mounted Red Cross, P. K. Watters and J. W. Stitt. It was after 1 o'clock be- fore they were able to join in the pro- cession. They had only just got under way when they were forced to come to a halt, with Platt's Military Band of Sacramento, which preceded them, lined up in front of the store of R. D. Davis & Co. The fire escapes in the front of this building had been so arranged as to accommodate about 100 young women. They were gayly at@yred and ecach was provided with either a silken parasol, a big fan, a flag or a bunch of red, white and blue streamers. These they waved vigor- ously and enthusiastically to each ommanaery as it passed before them. hey extended the same compliment to Platt’'s Band. The band replied by taking off their caps and then played a brilliant selection for the benefit of their fair admirers. Great applause and cheering followed from the occupants of the fire escape. Then Band Leader Platt struck up “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night.” This was the signal for a tremendous volley of applause in which everybody in the neighborhood took a hand. After the deafening applause had subsided, the band was about to play “Auld Lang Syne,” when the command was given to march, and the procession moved on. Up to Van Ness avenue and past the reviewing stand the pageant marched and then disbanded. —_—————— O'Neill Appointed to Committee. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 6.—Captain ‘W. E.

The failure of the coamand- ery to appear in the interesting pa- geant was due to the order of parade, which placed the commandery in an objectionable position. At an early hour the commandery reported to its division commander. where it was learned that De Molay Commandery had been given the place of honor in the Massachusetts section, a posi- tion which, by reason of its seniority, Boston Commandery claimed for it- self. In fact, it had previously been assured the place, but the orders for formation had been changed later by the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts. When the Boston Commandery reached its positfon in the line and learned that it was to have a place other than the one it had been promised, its com- mander ordéred the Knights back to the St. Franct Hotel, where a meet- ing was held &nd the members of the commandery unanimously indorsed the stand taken by their leader. In iscussing the matter later in the ay Commander Rinaldo Richardson said: Boston Commandery declined to parade to- day for the following reasons: Article 4 of parade orders No. 4, issued by the commander of the parade under date of July 20, 1004, reads as follows: ‘‘Commanderies, grand and _subordinate, will_be formed in grand divisions according to jurisdiction and take rank by date of charter.”” Boston Commandery. has the oldest charter of any commandery present and as such is. ertitled to the right of the line of the second division and by parade order No. 1, issued over the signature of the Grand Commander of Massachusetts and Rhode Island before leaving Boston, was assigned to that position. Ou the evening before the parade a new order was received from the Grand Cemmander of Massachusetts and Rhode Island rescinding the former order. ~This order was so in- definite that we were unable to determine our position in the parade. On arriving at the place of formation it was discovered that the commandery escorting the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts 4nd Rhode Isiand to its place in line had been assigned by the Grand Commander of Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and to a position on the right of Boston Com- mandery. Considering this an injustice and in direct opposition to the general orders as quoted and also_to those issued by the Grand Commander of Massachusetts and Rhode Island before leaving Boston, our commandery declined to parade and returned to its quarters at the 8t. Francis Hotel. —_———————— SACRAMENTO RECEIVES. Vaudeville Entertainment Given Knights From Capital City. The Sacramento Commandery’s en- tertainment drew throngs of Knights and their ladies to Pioneer Hall last by night. On the upper floor waltz music sounded through the entire evening. The programme delighted an audi- ence that crowded the hall to the por- tals. Following are those who ap- peared on the stage: The Masonic quartet, which is known all over the State; Miss Mary Alberta Morsé of Oakland, soloist; Miss R. Bonnie Waggoner of Sacra- mento, solgist; Mrs. William Marcell, a popular singer of Sacramento, and Sir Knight Edward Brown of the cap- ital city were contributors to the en- tertainment. Visiting Sir Knights were greeted by the Sacramento Commandery with rousing cheers. The reception com- mittee was a large and active one. Under their care all guests felt at home the minute they entered the building. Uniformed Knights and fair ladies glided through the dance until a late hour. Mol R GOLDEN GATE ENTERTAINS. Knight of Gettysburg Presents Them With Civil War Relic. Golden Gate Commandery received thousands of visiting Templars at their home on Sutter street last night. Golden Gate Hall was a bower of evergreens and artistically arranged electric lights made the place look like a fairy land. A steady stream of plumed Knights and their ladies poured in and out of the hall during the evening. Among the guests of the command- ery was Sir Knight S. M. Bushman of Gettysburg, Pa. He presented the Golden Gate Commandery with a unique souvenir, a gavel made from a tree that grew on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Imbedded in the head of the gavel is a bullet fired during the battle of Gettysburg. Sir Knight Bushman had met some of the Tem- plars from Golden Gate Commandery at the last bankers’ convention. At that time he promised to secure for the Golden Gate Knights such a sou- venir. The members of the command- ery are elated over the gift. pAARB AT L o CONCERT AT UNION SQUARE. Select Programme of Popular Airs Is Enjoyed by Large Audience. No better climate could have been especially arranged by the clerk of the weather for the open air concert in Union square than that of last night. Thousands who had suffered discomfort from the somewhat op- pressive heat of the day gathered about the Dewey monument to listen to a band of twenty-four pieces ren- der popular melodies from a pro- gramme- selected for the occasion. Every available point of vantage was occupied by Knights and their ladies, and guests of the Hotel St. Francis were not missing among those who enjoyed the music and a stroii over the walks and lawns in the balmy evening air. A delegation of Knights from the Palace Hotel on their way to the Me- chanics’ Pavilion stopped to pay a visit to their comrades at the St. Fran- cis and listen to the concert. Visitors who have quarters in the various apartment-houses in the Western Ad- dition helped to swell the multitude. Music was rendered till 11 o’clock, at which hour the crowds dispersed. ————— Sir not fail to see the beautiful at Andrew’s Diamond Palace, 221 Montgm'y st. * FEATURES AND INCIDENTS THAT SERVE TO INTEREST GREAT GATHERIN G SANTA BARBARANS RECEIVE FRIENDS AT THE VENDOME Prominent Workers in Behalf of the.

The reception room of the hotel was decorated for the occasion and there were refreshments and music in plenty.

Prominent among the ardent workers in behalf of Santa Barbara are' Sir Knight Argo Orson Perkins, Sir Knight Charles H. Rowley, Sir Knight J. K. | Harrington and Sir Knight J. N. Hil- | ler. They were foremost in arranging | for entertainment of their fraters dur- ing the conclave and in handling the affairs of the commandery during their stay in this city. ————————— KNIGHTS GIVE WELCOME. Louisville Commandery Dispenses Hospitality in True Southern Style. Handsome women, richly gowned, at- tended by Sir Knights in full regalia, who thronged the lobbies and mezza- nine floor of the St. Francis Hotel, under the brilliancy of myriads of elec- tric lights, furnished a magnificent spectacle last evening during the hours devoted to formal reception by Louis- ville Commandery No. 1. From 7:30 until after 11 o'clock the Knights from Louisville, who hope to-day to carry off the honors at the competitive drill | of the commanderies, vied with one an- | other in extending Southern hospital- | ity to the thousands of visitors who were royally welcomed to the St. Fran- cis. The evening function was opened | by a concert by the Louisville Com- | mandery Band. It was in the main lobby of the hotel and signalized the coming of the friends of the! Sir Knights of Kentucky As the interesting affair progressed | bodies of white plumed Sir Knights, ac- companied by their ladies, marched into the hotel with their bands of music, which enlivened the scene by serenad- ing the hosts of the evening and finally joining with the visiting commander- ies in partaking of the refreshments | furnished by the Kentuckians in their | reception hall on the mezzanine floor | of the crawded hostelry. Although ! many receptions were held at the dif-| ferent headquarters of the visiting Knights Templar during the evening, none- surpassed the one given by the men from Louisville.

Templar OF THE WORLD. If there is any truth in this world it finds its purest expression in the relations that exist between brother Masons. When a Mason fn_distress secks a brother Mason for his confidence and advice that moment the prejudices and ethics of the professional and commercial worlds are blotted out and truth comes as near being crys- tallized into substance as human re- lations permit. Now to the point. There are tens of thousands of Masons in the United States, and the homes of many are clouded by the presence of Bright's disease and diabetes. We make to you the solemn an- nouncement that the cure for these hitherto fatal diseases has positively been discovered in this city. - And we come to you with the proof tha* you yourselves wouid ask. Thi " re- coveries in this- city run into ‘hun- dreds and record the names of three of recovered himself, and two others had members of their own families saved, and this, too, after medical science had seemiingly‘ been exhausted. It is Masonic to do good. You know some to who#k this informa- tion would be literally a Godsend. of suffering thousands all over the Unit- ed States, in the interest of humanity, we are permitted to give you the, names of these of your brethren into whose homes happiness' has been car ried by the restoration of loved ones when all hope was gone, and who, knowing the truth, will tell you. You know how to approach each other to get the, eternal truth. Faithfully yours, THE JOHN ].
