told them so.

telyou: More delightful hospitality, has
never been equalled in any southern trip
of the President and . myself than was
bestowed upon the gallant veterans of
the Army of the Potomac.
General Horatio C. King, secretary of
the Society of the Army of the Potomac:
Every detail has been magnificently car
ried out. and our southern brethren have
given us even a warmer reception than
we received from .them in the memora
ble struggle of . 1883' ; I want to know of
no greater hospitality than that of the
good people. of Virginia.
.Mr. Francis B. Gessner, correspon
dent, and a close friend of the President's
on all of his trips: The scene has been
one of magnificence, and surpasses any
that I have ever seen during my close
connection with the travels of the Presi

OFFICIAL DIVAN OF ACCA TEMPLE (ANCIENT ARABIC ORDER),
NOBLES OF THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
to accomplish, the purpose for "which, .'
from now: on, until June, 1902, they -will/
strive.
The selection of Washington as the
place of meeting, this year was due to .
Almas Temple, which to a man worked:
indefatigably to make the session of. the
Council and", the sojourn of the""Nobles
in their city an; entire success:: Tlia.t their
wishes were gratified is attested by the -
words of commendation spoken by every
one of the Nobles who visited the nation's .
capital. during last weekl
Almas Temple worked hard and her
efforts were crowned with success. She
can not and did not work harder than
Acca can and 'will, and success will im-,
doubtedly crown the efforts of the Rich
mond Shrine. Almas Temple had as
guests within the gates of Washington
more than 15,000 Shriners; Richmond will
have, more than this numuer, for. in
Washington there was frequent expres
sion among the visiting Nobles of
a desire to visit the capital city
of the Confederacy. Richmond could
have secured the 1931 council had
she so elected, but it was thought
wise to wait until 1902, and let the
Shriners go West in the mean time, so
Acca Temple withheld her invitation. -
• POPULAR HEADQUARTERS.
Acca Temple's headquarters in Wash
ington were the most popular of any .of
the many, headquarters, where thirty sons
of the desert were invited to partake of
camel's milk, and other, refreshing drinks
known only to the Islamites. Acca's head
quarters should; be the most popular, and
they had gone from Richmond prepared
to make them such. About 300 strong,
they left this city last Monday morning
on a special train over the Chesapeake
and Ohio, and travelling to Alexandria,
stopped over in that ancient city long
enough to conduct twenty-five candidates
across the desert. The sands were hot,
and fun. in abundance- was furnished the
many members of the Imperial Divan,
who had come across the Potomac to
see what kind of fellows Acca's boys
were.
Reaching Washington the -Accaites
were marched to their hotel. They took
possession ;of the entire building from
cellar, to garret, and with the able as
sistance.of Billy. Krause and three other
caterers dispensed hospitality of the
truest Virginia character during their
three-days' stay. The mint juleps, as con
cocted- by Caterer Dabney, increased in
popularity to such an extent as to cr&ate
a jam in ..the hotel more thaji once, and
to such an extent did this popularity
spread that in the parade on Tuesday
night Acca. Temple, which by the way,
made a magnificent, showing, was cheered
to the echo by the hundreds of thousands
who watched the passage of the pageant,
irom'the sidewalks..-;
With its popularity as a basis, - Acca
is now after the Imperial Council and
she 5s •-. assured ; of - getting it. It means
a great deal to any city to be host to
the Imperial Shrine, and Richmond, the
local Shriners say, shall have this honor.
Shriners are great spenders; .they go on
their annual pilgrimage - with filthy lucre
in abundance, and ; they do not take it
home with them. They, spend it and they
have a good. time.
.HISTORY OF THE ORDER. ;
The history of the Ancient Arabic : Or
der, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in this
country, is an interesting one. . The first
temple established in America was Mecca
Temple, of -New York city, and >as this
organization is the oldest so - also it is
the -largest, and .the most prosperous
In the country, probably. The present num
ber of Nobles in Mecca is. about: 3,200 i
rather more .than less. The" gain during
: the .past year has been about" 300., The
statement may, be' added to this that
the treasury of the Temple ; contains lat
present. more than $11,000 in cash, in addi
tion. to i $10,000 in bonds and ; cash held by
the trustees of the .Institution. .
The history of ; Mecca is In, a" peculiar
way .the: history : of "the ' Ancient ."''."and
Arabic Order .in America. It ' was Dr/
"; Walter Ml Pl emlng : who, with the>well-^
loved ..actor, " .W. . J. //Florence,- conceived
the - idea of forming 1 , the -rMystle i Shrine^ In

CHARJLOTTESVILLE.
Memorial-Day— OS to Obierve the
"Eclipse— A Contest.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA., May 26.—
(Special.)— Yesterday afternoon the La
dies' Memorial. Association led in the
matter of decorating the graves of the
Confederate and other dead buried in the
Soldiers' Cemetery at 'the University of .
Virginia. The- abundant flowers of this
season,, and the willing hands of those
who remember, made the decoration a de
cided success. x The exercises • otherwise
wero also exceedingly Interesting. Cap
■tain Mica jah Woods was master of cere
monies, and Mr. Roscoe> C. Nelson, of
Richmond, delivered the address. Mr.
Nelsons- address ' won him high praise,
both for its matter and the manner of its
delivery. Mr. Armistead C. Gordon's ode
to the Confederate dead was recited by
Miss Virginia Moran. Monticello
Guard and many veterans failed to at
tend, owing to a mistake as to postpone-"
ment of the exercises. . / -
Mr. E» O. Eastwood, of the Leander Mc-
Cormick '.Observatory; -Mr. Herbert Mor
gan, of Paritops -Academy, formerly of
the Leander McCormlck Observatory, and
Mr. Charles: P. Olivier left this ; morning
for Wlnnsboro', S. C, ;to join -Professor
Stone and Mr. Lyon, who have been' at
"Winnsboro' several weeks preparing, for
the eclipse, which occurs on the 28th.

IT IS OPTIONAL WITH RESIDENTS.
.'Season" for ibe Carts Extends Over
Period from May Ist to October
15tli— A General Law is Keeded—
.; Tne -Street r Railway*.--
j Despite "the -fact/ there /is no general
street^rlnklingv;ordiiiance; in/ -force-. In
Richmond. 'two fir
patrons ; in < sufficient /number to ; keep, five
sprinklers -in '-.-: operation/ a large portion,
of * each / day. : These .lay " : the dust :■ in.;; the :
principal business /andf" residence sections

teer ■"' system is recognized ;as being ; ; im
perfect. ; but v n til a. general . law is passed
requiring /compliance 'upon/ the : part ol
all landlords ,and^ tenants,/ no: improve
ment: can*, be expected.
''A : move in the / line ;, of : municipal/" pro- :
gress : was made early ; this /spring, / when;
the" Council passed .an ordinance - requir-;
ing the street railway to
sprinkle the streets "upon which .they
operate. .This -received;' the Mayor's/ ap
proval on April ath, and was effective
'from "date.;/ T ' : . \
.. THE SYSTEM IN- VOGUE. . •
i The firmsiowninsr. street sprinklers con
duct/the business in'an interesting -.rhan^
ner. ' The ' "season". "commences :". May Ist
and lasts until October 15th— five months
and a half. At the beginning of the sea
son the tenants alonsr^those streets upon
which- it is - proposed to operate . are. . so
licited to subscribe to the sprinkling fundJ
It ; has been found that ; it does not pay/ :
to operate the sprinkler unless each block
aggregates a: total subscription- of SlO or
52." -Logically, It follows" that not all are
expected' to-pay the- same- amount. On
fashionable, residence ' streets the houses;
. are far. apart. Tenants here are expected
to pay ?1 per "month;/ otherwise, /the total
would 'not justify operating the sprinkler
along that block.- • "
..When, a; modest residence -street is
reached, where houses are smaller, and
closer together, the fee is lowered t0. 50
cants. There are ;more. -tenants to/ the
block, and their combined contribution
• will equal that of the fashionable block.
PURELY VOLUNTARY.
There is ncv law to ; compel any, one to
pay anything.-^; Subscriptions .are purely
voluntary. Not all those on a block will
pay. In some -instances. Yet. they are
benefited just as much as their neighbors
who do pay. But the neighbors get even
by calling, them '.'stingy." ' Sometimes, a
few persons on a block who are very
anxious to have the street in front of
their homes. sprinkled, will increase their
subscriptions ;in order to make the re
quired total— in other words pay for
their neighbors as well as for. them
selves. It takes . lots of water . sometimes
to keep these liberal people cool after
wards. - ■ ■■-- ; .
In the» business sections the same prin
ciple observed as to residences applies.
The : business . people on Main and : Broad
stree ts threaten to boycott the sprinklers '
when the street ' railways get their big
sprinklers into operation. But as the
companies are required to sprinkle only
six feet out from their tracks, a wide
strip of street, adjacent to the sidewalk,
remains to ha kept dustless.
AS TO THE RAILWAYS."
The ordinance applying 1 to- street rail
ways provides "that the various street
railway companies using the" streets, ave
nues, or lanes of the city of Richmond
■ be. and they are hereby, required to
sprinkle properly with water the ; streets,
avenues, or lanes along the lines of their
railways, ; during each ; day, "when. - neces
sary, throughout the year; the same, to
be done, so as to lay all dust -without
.thereby ; rendering_the - streets muddy, i for
ar width of street occupied by the falls
and portion of road-bed, between them
and/for a distance of at/least six feet
beyond the outside of the. outer rails, in
a manner satisfactory to the Committee
on Streets."
, To a Dispatch writer an official of the
Passenger and Power Company stated
last week that negotiations are In pro
gress looking, to the purchase by the com
pany of a- sprinkler ; especially adapted
to the needs of a. street railway. Such
a sprinkler runs on the tracks, and is
propelled by electricity, in the same man
ner as' an ordinary car. At present the
company has the unpaved streets along
which it operates sprinkled twice dally
by the carts of one of the city firms.
.The Traction Company has about con
cluded negotiations ifor a sprinkling-car,
and wheo It comes it will be put into
immediate service.
