DISTRICT KNIGHTS Local Templars Getting Ready for the Triennial Conclave. GRAND ENCAMPMENT AT LOUISVILLE Every Commandery to Be Repre sented by a Delegation. WILL TAKE PART IN PARADE The Knights Templar of the District of Columbia are making preparations to at tend in force the triennial conclave of the Grand Encampment of the United States, which occurs during next week at Louis ville, Ky. The representatives of the Grand Commanded will be accompanied by delegations from the various local com manderies. While ihe governing body in this jurisdic- ' tion, is, so far as the date of its charter is j concerncd. the junior to many of the Grand Commanderies :hroughout the country, Templarism has long been known in the District. In the early part of the cen- | entury, Washington Commandery was or ganized. and has had a continuous exist- | ence from that time to this, being one I of the largest bodies in the country, and | having had upon its rolls of membership many distinguished citizens and Masons, among them Benj. B. French, Albert Pike, Georste GHinoii, Grand Commander of the District. Albert G. Mackey, Wm. R. Singleton and others, scarcely less known to the Masonic world Benj. B. French was grand master of Templars of the United States for six con secutive years, from 1ST>5? to 18(55, and no one since his administration has served so long in the office. He had been grand re corder of the grand encampment for nine years prior to his election as grand mas ter. In the Templar Asylum of the Ma sonic Temple in this city is a beautiful gold-mounted sword presented by the Grand Encampment to Sir Knight French as a slight token of its regard for his abili ties and his services to the order. Columbia Coiumtmdcry. Columbia Commandery, No. 2, which was Instituted in 1808 and chartered in 1865. enjoys the unique honor and distinction of having introduced the now popular plan of a parade and escort to the Grand En campment on the occasion of a trien nial conclave. It attended the meet ing of the Grand Encampment of the United States in 18uisville if the naval court of inquiry does not pre vent. Context Over I niforniN. The membership of the order in the Dis trict of Columbia ranks that of almost a majority of the grand commanderies of the I nittd States, and while the grand com mandery here was organized less than a decade ago, the influence of its member ship has been notable for many years. For example, in many of the states, i'om nianderies have been wearing what is known as the standard or regulation uni form, which is different from that formerly authorized by ihe grand encampment. Kach grand commandery is now allowed to choose the uniform to be worn by its subordinates. This change was brought" about by the influence alone of Washington Commandery of the District of Columbia. This organization has alwavs appeared in what is- known as the "black" uniform, regarded as the oldest Templar garb worn in the United States. Its membership has been proud of this fact.' When, therefore, the grand encampment tried many years ago to force the Templars of the United States to wear a new uniform, which dif fered from the "black" in the absence of the apron and^the substitution of a "white" baldiie for that formerly used, the fir knights of W ashington. No. 1, refrained from wearing the new uniform, and ap peared only in citizens' dress whenever they turned out as an organization. So strong a plea did they make at New Or leans in 1874 that the edict of suspension which had been passed upon them was set aRlde. and by special resolution this com mandery was authorized thereafter to wear their former uniform. And this they do to this day. The beautiful appearance they always made in public led to legisla tion in the Grand Encampment to allow each grand commandery to determine what uniform its own subordinates should wear, and at the present time, as before stated, In a number of Jurisdictions, the standard uniform has given place to others known as the "black" uniform, or some thing akin thereto. The other commanderies of the District Potomac, No. 3; De Molay, Mounted. No. 4, and Orient, No. 5?have come into exist ence since the occurrence of most of the events above mentioned, but all of th*m have since contributed their full share to the reputation which the local Templars enjoy throughout the country. De Molay Commandery is one of the few mounted or ganlaztlons in the order, and always makes an attractive appearance. Many business men owning horses are members of De Molay, Intfreit in the Conclave. Much Interest is manifested in the ap proaching conclave at Louisville. Among the most Important questions which will come up for action will be a proffered amendment repealing the statute requiring affiliation in lodge and chapter as a pre requisite cf good standing in the com mandery. Doubtless, too. in the election there will be quite a contest for the lowest elective office, that of grand junior ww&w. it being: generally supposed that the elec tive officers now in line will all be pro moted one step. While there are several candidates for this particular place, the representatives of the District of Columbia are hopeful that the honor will come to one of their number. At the triennial conclave three years ago at Pittsburg. Past Grand Comander Frank H. Thomas of this Juris diction was defeated for the office by a small majority. It is understood that all the commander ies of the District of Columbia will be rep resented in the parade. The best musical bodies which the national capital affords will also be represented. Washington Com mandery, No. 1, will be accompanied by Haley's band, in bright new uniforms; Co lumbia Commandery, No. 2, will take the United States Marine Band of forty-five pieces, and during the triennial week will tender a complimentary concert to the of ficers and members of the grand encamp ment, whioh promises to be one of the prin cipal events planned for the entertainment of that distinguished body; Orient Com mandery, No. 5, the youngest Templar body of the District, will have a band from Medina, Ohio. This commandery is sta tioned at Naval Lodge Hall, Capitol Hill, and is a flourishing body of young, active men. Local Drill Corps. Mention has already been made In The Star of the drill corps which will represent Columbia Commandery, No. 2, in the com petitive drill. The members of the team are hard at work. They go to Louisville with the best wishes of all the fraters of the District of Columbia, whether members of No. 2 or not, and it is confidently pre dicted that under the command of Capt. C. S. Domer they will return home with one of the handsome prizes offered to the successful contestants. The commanderies of the District of Co lumbia will constitute a separate division, ^ith Mr. George Gibson, grand commander, as chief marshal, his principal aid beihg Mr. William T. Galliher. and the officers of the grand commandery composing the remaining members of his staff. The representatives of the District Tem plars in the grand encampment are George Gibson, grand commander; George E. Cor son, deputy grand commander; Alexander McKenzie, grand generalissimo; Andrew W. Kelley, grand captain general! Noble D. Larner, past grand commander; Frank H. Thomas, past grand commander; Rezin W. Darby, past grand commander; Eldred G. Davis, past grand commander; William T. Galliher, past grand commander; Harrison Dingman, past grand commander, and Charles F. Scott, past grand commander. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR GRAND PARADE.

In the event that the plattfe n created thing belongs to God, and we the most perfect of his creatures, have by our patience and skill through our aftection for our heavenly Father, taken a great ^ari?t> of earthly raw material, and kavemolded It into this form of a house of God. The action of the church today, by its sPr1"" Kling of holy water and the funie3 of th Incense, have purified it by separating it from ail other earthly materials, whereby we devote it and dedicate it to the special service of Almighty God.

Description of the Edifice. The new St. Mary's Church at Barnesville has been in course of construction since August of last year. The estimated cost ol the structure is $8,500. It is situated m a beautiful little grove of locust trees, right in the center of the quaint old town of Barnesville, four miles west of Boyd's. The edifice is erecte d nearly on the spot o the old St. Mary's Church, whjc^ was de stroyed bv fire in July. 1000. and which was, built nearly a century ago. In speakln? of the matter. Mr. John W llllam Brown. n need citizen of Barnesville, said, when he w?? a Httle child St. Mary's Church was then an old structure of frame mate rial, and about thirty feet wide by forty - five feet In length. About fifty years ago he said, an annex was buiit and this quaint old landmark stood until July 14. l'.tOO, when it was accidentally set afire and destroyed. The new edifice is built entirely brick and is thirty-eight feet in width pncl sixtv-eight feet in length, outside the tower, which Is twelve feet square, and rises to a height if seventy-seven feet to the bottom of a beautiful cross. The cross la six feet and two inches in height. \t the western corner of the church is the sacristv, which measures sixteen by fourteen feet, and at tho doorway at the southern or eastern side of the church is a large basement, where will be installed in the near future a furnace and steam-heat ing apparatus. To the side of the vestibule, which one must pnss through to gain ad mittance to the church, is a door which leads to the gallery. The gallery covers at least one-fourth of the upper part of the church. The inner part of the edifice Is beautiful, the trimmings being of cy press wood of the best quality. The pews, built of oak, number about forty, with a seating capacity of at least three hundred and fiftv. The altar is constructed of white enameled wood and consists of three towers which have suspended columns, all richly decorated.- The church throughout la very handsomely furnished, the carpets being of a fine grade of green Brussels. The railing in front of the altar is of oak and walnut, the scroll work being of oak and the top raili.i;? of walnut. This was donated to the church by St. Patrick s Church of Washington, D. C. The Memorial Window*. The windows are all memorial and num ber five to each side and three in the steeple or tower. In the front tower, in a con spicuous place. Is one given by P. H. Clem ents, in memory jf his wife; another, given by James Ganley, another by Zach M. Knott, one by Mrs. C. E. Kingsbury, an other in memory of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Jones, one In memory of Rev. Thos. D. Leonard a former pastor of the church, who recently died; another in memory of Rev Jos. S. Birch, also a former pastor of the church, who died a number of years ago; one is a gift of the sewing society, in honor of the present pastor, Rev. Gilbert II McDonald; another by William Reid, "and two others in memory of Aloysius and Sarah Reid and Lloyd and Ann Jones. Two handsome statues, placed to the r'ght and left of the altar In two alcoves, built back Into the wall, were presented by Rev. M. J. Riordan, a former pastor of the church, and now pastor of the St. Joseph's Church at Pikesvllle near Balti more. The architect of the edifice is Henry L. Simpson of Washington. William T. Hil ton & Sons of Barnesville were the con tractors and builders. The church is sur rounded by two acres of land, arid back of the church is the cemetery, where rest the bodies of many who died over a century ago The membership of this church num bers 300. The cost of the structure was diminished In considerable by donations of material by the membership and others in terested. Alterations In Plans Approved. Acting Engineer Commissioner New comer has approved the suggested altera tions in the plans of the proposed new eight-room school building for the tenth division, to be located on P street near North Capitol street. The lowest bid sub mitted is for $42,200, while the appropria tion is only $36,243.25. The changes sug gested will lessen the original bid by $8,070. It Is stated by the building inspector that the proposed changes will in no way Impair the design of the building. Capt. Newcomer has also approved the suggestion of the building Inspector regard ing proposed changes in the plans of the proposed new four-room school building to be erected in Petworth, for which $22,967 is available. The lowest hid received was for $26,900. The proposed changes will les sen the original bid by $4,014. Besides this amount, the cost of installing the heating plant will cost $2,200, which will make the total cost $729 above the amount available. Affair Remains a Mystery. The police of the first precinct were sum moned to the neighborhood of 9th and I 'streets northwest, about 10 of clock Satur day by a citlpen who reported that some body had been shot. It was thought by pedestrians who gathered on the sidewalk that two pistol shots had been fired In a house in the vicinity. The police made an investigation and learned nothing. Th* affair remains a mystery. w ' FINANCIAL. CORN AMD WHEAT Are afuin coining into ?peculatire prtxuiuence and higher prices for both cereals should tx> recorded.

UNION TRUST STORAGE CO BANKING H0CSE AND VAULTS, 1414 F , ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 10, 1901. A democratic primary will be held in this city and county Thursday, the H2d instant, to nominate a candidate for the house of delegates. The recording of the candidates tv ill close at noon tomorrow. Those al ready in the field are James R. Caton, Wil liam H. May and John H. Trimyer. It is hardly probable that any others will enter the arena at this late date, though it has been, persistently rumored that there will be others. The candidates named are working hard, and it would be difficult to forecast the result. It is expected that a large vote will be polled and each of the candidates Is sanguine of success. Mr. Caton's Platform. Mr. Caton today issued a letter to voters in which he says: "It is my purpose if elected to represent the whole people, and not any particular class or faction." Mr. Caton stated a few days ago that he under stood one of the arguments being used against him was that he was a corporation attorney, and would consequently be preju diced in favor of said corporation if legis lation affecting it should be introduced. Reference was made to the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway, of which Mr. Caton was formerly counsel. He states that he is no longer connected with that company, and that it is his intention to bring about legislation that will place the electric road within the provisions of the "Jim Crow" law, which now applies only to steam railways. The polls will open at sunrise Thursday and close at sunset, and the usual judges and clerks will serve. All known democrats of eligible age and all white voters who pledge themselves to support the nominee in the general election will be allowed to vote. It is not probable, according to pres ent indications, that the republicans will place a candidate in the field, and the dt mocratlc primary will be equivalent to election. Police Court Items. French Jones, William Bright and Er nest Mills, white youths, were arraigned in the Police Court this morning on suspicion of having broken into and robbed W. H. Brawner's saloon, near the Stone bridge, Wednesday night last. Entrance to the sa loon was effected by cutting a hole In a door and drawing a bolt on the Inside. A pistol and a razor were stolen and about fifty pennies were taken from the money drawer. A slot machine, which was brok en open, yielded about IS in nickels and 185 checks, valued at 5 cents each. Lieutenant Smith and Sergeant Goods worked up the case and made the arrests. Jones claimed he had no active hand In the affair, but kept guard while Bright and Mills did the work. A number of witnesses were exam lhed with the result that Jones was re manded for trial and Bright and Mills were dismissed, there being no evidence against them. . . Five tiny pickaninnies were charged with stealing iron from the Southern railway. They proved to be amusing and unusually Intelligent witnesses. One of the boys tes tified that he was twelve years old and had not stolen anything for five years. When asked what he was going to do with two iron picks found in his possession he said he was going to carry them home and ask his father what they were, Just as he did a pocket book he found one Decora tion day. Two of the boys, Robert Scott and Thomas Knight, were fined $5 each, and George Day, a colored Junk dealer, was fined $10 for buying the stolen articles and failing to report the purchase to po lice headquarters, as provided by law.
