State to-day. .
The triennial pilgrimage to the Gra-nd j
Encampment is on.
The initial movement toward Boston, j
the site of the temple for the time being, ;
begins to-day. .
California Commandery No:. 1 of this:
City stirs first out of the great civilian
level of. the wide Nation, first lifts the
' sword and plume and gets in motion the
: greatest Masonic pilgrimage that the world j
has seeh since the temple fell. ' ■
. "While, day by day, its splendid special
■ train rolls across the continent toward the
Mecca of this, pilgrimage swords and;
plumes will spring up all over the face of
the land in numbers like the leaves of the
forest, all moving in swift trains through
the valleys and over the mountains, out of ;
the West and the South and even the far ;
Northeast toward the onelocal point— the j
Qld city of Boston. . •. •. . j
It is the triennial pilgrimage of Knights
• Templar, the conclave of the Grand En- ,
campment to be held this year in the eld
capital of New England, away down East.
It is the old, old order that perpetuates
the fine old spirit of chivalry that is g'ath- ;
erinc in the old city.
Is it tha order or the land— that fine old i
crooked city — or is it a blending of tiie two
that suggests to the compiler of Golden j
Gate commandery's itinery to chant upon
his opening pagefrom Joaquin Miller:
Go ye and look upon that laDd—
That far, viust land that few behold,
And none beholding understand:
That old, old land which men call new—
That land as ola as time isuki.
Go journey with the .seasons through
Its wastes, ami learn how limitless,
J-low shoreless lie the distanci'3
Before. you come to' question this
Or dare to dreiim what grandeur is.
The conclave begins its five days' session
on Tuesday, August 27, with a street pa
geant extending in. an unbroken line for
eight miles through the streets of Boston,
ami- numbering above 30,000 swords. It
will present a spectacle well worth a jour
ney across a dozen States to witness.
Not less than 60,000 Sir Knisrhts and
40,000 ladies, besides the multiplication of
those big numbers who merely go to wit
ness it, will arrive in Boston on Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday. Such a ruobiliza
| tion in any State of Europe would mean
' the total suspension of all other railway
traffic for a period of from one to two
weeks. In these United States it will
mean some overwork to some train-dis-
I patchers and some considerable increased
revenue'to some railroad companies, and a
very pleasant time to some Sir Knights and j
their ladies, and, yes, a well-defined disap
pointment to a good many others who find
they can't go. Otherwise the business of
: thecountry scarcely pauses to take note.
The purpose of the conclave is the trien
i nial gathering of the members of the order,
. wwere old acquaintances are found and
new friendships made. Many of the com
manderies have engaged quarters and
' made preparations during the last three
; years, so that the gathering will be ex
', ceeaingly brilliant and represent a very
> influential element. Monday will be de
voted to getting settled ; Tuesday will be
S the event of the grand parade and the
! opening of the session of the Grand En
; campment of. tne United States. After
1 that the Grand Encampment goes into
executive session and continues until Fri
day or Saturday. This body is composed
of the first four officers of a Grand Com
maridery and Past Grand Commanders of
a jurisdiction, with representatives of such
' subordinate commanderies as may not be
i organized into grand jurisdictions. These
members are supposed to be on duty in
the Grand Encampmeiit during the week.
After the parade the weeK is devoted by
the. order at large entirely to receptions,
excursions and individual parades.
The California representatives are going
down to Boston enthusiastic in the matter
of promoting .Reuben H. Lloyd, who now
holds the third office in the Grand Encamp-.
| inent, and who without doubt will be
I elected to the position of deputy grand
master. At the conclave of 1898 Sir Knight
Lloyd will without question be grand
; master of the order.
There are 34 commanderies in California
. with a membership of 2880. Thr°e separate
special trains will carry the California con
tingent to the encampment. There will
be -about 200 Sir Knights and probably as
many of their ladies to make up the three
parties. The three trains will be splendidly
provisioned and go into Boston in form to j
properly typify the laud of plenty from
which they come.
The first—the special of California No.
I—leaves1 — leaves this morning at. B o'clock: the
second, Golden Gate No. 10, and the third,
Oakland No. 11, leave to-morrow evening
at 7 and 8 o'clock respectively. Oakland
No. II goes as escort to the Grand Com
mandery of the State.. The officers of the
Grand Comnandery who go are: Grand
commander, E. S. Lippitt; grand gener
alissimo, George D. Metcalf; grand captain
general, Robert M. Towers of San Diego.
The fo.llowing past grands are going with
this party: Reuben 11. Lljjyd, grand gen- !
eralissimo uf the Grand Encampment— a
past grand commander of the Slate— goes
with this party.
Ihe following past grand commanders
are also going: W. F. Su inner, William
A. Davies and Hiram T. Graves, of this
City ; Samuel H. Wagener of San Jose, Ed
ward R. Hedges of Stockton, A. A. Usd
ington of Sacramento and Jacob Neff of !
Auburn.
California Comniandery No. 1 has al- i
ready sent a refrigerator-car filled with '
. fruit". It will carry with it 22,000 bottles of i
wine, bearing, besides the vintage label, :
the coat-of-arms of the -comtnandery, :
which is blown in the glasa; also 100 cases j

of California champagne. The bottles were
blown in France for the special purpose,
and the 10,000 little willow-baskets in
which the fruit will be set out were made
to order in Japan. It is the purpose of this
commandery to present a bottle of wine
and a basket of fruit to every guest who
calls upon them, to the limit of their
stores.
Their train, which leaves this morning;
will be composed of four Pullman sleepers,
one drawing-room car, one diner, one
sleeping-car, one commissary and two bag
gage cars. They go by all rail via Denver,
Chicago and Detroit, thence by Canadian
Pacific to Newport, Vt., and south to
Boston. They will make short stops and
entertain l 'f raters" and be entertained at
Glenwood Springs, Leadville, Denver and
Montreal. Ihey will be entertained at
Newport, Vt., and Lowell, Mass.
A pretty incident of their journey will
be the christening at the Denver asylum of
their "loving cup," made from the solid
brick of silver won in the drill contest at
the last triennial encampment at Denver.
The cup was made by Vanderslice & Co.,
and is l\i inches high and 5% inches wide.
It will hold a gallon of wine. It is of solid
silver, lined with gold, embossed and
chased. On one side is the Colorado coat
of-arms and the inscription, "Colorado
Commandery of Denver." On another
panel is the coat-of-arms of the command
ery. On the third panel is a symbolic en
graving of a mounted Knight Templar ad
vancing for battle.
On the base of the cup the inscription,
"California Commandery No 1, Knights
Templar, San Francisco," is engraved. On
the opposite side of the base is the inscrip
tion: "Made from a trophy of Colorado
silver, presented to the drill corps of the
commandery for the display drill in Den
ver, August, 1882."
Three massive handles of silver divide
the cup into as many panels on which the
pictures are engraved. Sixty-five ounces
of silver were used in its manufacture.
Arriving- at Boston at noon on Saturday
the battalion of black horses, with the
single white steed of the commander, will
be found waiting. In full uniform they
will mount and be escorted by Boston
Commandery No. 2, 600 strong, to their
headquarters at the Parker House. The
ladies" will be escorted in carriages. That
same everting they will give a banquet at
the Parker House. On Wednesday they
will keep open house from 0:30 A. M. until
midnight, during which hours they expect
a constant procession of friends through
their rooms, to every individual of whom
tljey will present a bottle of California
wine and a basket of California fruit. Ite
corder Graves sent out circulars of invita
tion to 10,000 commanderies and received
replies of appreciative acceptance from 15,-
Oun Sir Knights.
Wiiile the California Commandery No. 1
is composed of the elder men of the order,
noted throughout the world for their
wealth anil influence, Golden Gate Com
mandery No. 16 is made up as distinctly of
the younger men who represent the prog
ressand enterprise of the great West, and
it will go to Boston in a style that must
not only spread its own fame, but that of
the City and State from which it comes.
Its beautiful book of the itinerary, printed
in red and gold and black, is an index of
the style and good taste with which it will
conduct its pilgrimage.
They have a splendidly equipped special
train, with dinner, combination and buffet
cars, and Commissary Tcwnsend has
proposed to keep open house from San
Francisco to Boson. Their journey will
involve an expenditure of $20,U00, and has
involved a deal of work, which has been
successfully accomplished by Eminent
Commander George D. Clark, Quartermas
ter .-sir Charles D. Bunker and Adjutant
R. E. Sir Frank W. Sumner. who have had
the able assistance of fir Knights Benedict,
Kirkpatrick, ilelwig, Edwards, Townsend
and Sanborn.
Their train will be in charge of W. D.
Sanborn to Chicago, and of J. G. McCall
from Chicago to Boston.
Their route is all rail via Salt Lake City,
Denver, Chicago, Niagara Falls, the Hoo
sac tunnel to Boston, where they arrive at
noon Sunday, August 2b.
Representatives of Coour de Lion Com
mandery of Los Angeles will join the
Golden Gate special at Reno.
Two stops will be made of more than or
dinary note, one at Salt Lake City and the
other at Niagara Falls.
Salt Lake City will be reached Wednes
day. Breakfast aril] be taken at the Tem
pleton Hotel. Time is allowed here for a
plunge in the salty lake at Salter's Beach.
Only a stop of 35 minutes is made at Den
ver. A short practice drill will be indulged
in at Burlington, where they arrive on Fri
day afternoon. A stop of one hour is made
at Chautauqua, N. Y.
At Niagara Falls a stop of five hours will
be made, in which the pilgrims will have
an opportunity to be stunned by the
"thundering sound." Commissary
Townsend is thoroughly familiar with this
ground and sets claim to an apility to
stand off the hackmen. He will have
charge of the party here. They will put
up at the Cataract Hotel— for you cannot
altogether avoid "putting up" at Niagara.
Luncheon will be taken and a tour of all
the sights.
Boston wili be reached at noon a week
from this day. The Commandery will be
received and escorted by Boston Com
mandery to its headquarters at the Colum
bian Hotel. The Foxbora brass band will
set the step.
On Wednesday a special reception will
be held, in which wine and fruit will be
bestowed on every visitor without end.
On the trip the commandery bear,
Zerubbabel IV, six weeks old, will figure
not alone as the emblem of California, but
as the special pride and care of the six
knights.
Zerubbabel is provided with special
quarters on the commissary . car, and
Superintendent Fillmore has given Com
missary Townsend an order on the dining
department for fresh milk, which is as yet
his only diet. Zerubbabel is as playful as
a young dog.
A commandery of Knights Templar is
essentially a military organization, and
Golden Gate Commandery is noted in the
order as being thoroughly organized as a
CALIFORNIA COMMANDERY'S LOVING CUP
military body. They will leave their asy
lum on Monday afternoon at <j:l*> o'clock
and march from their quarters down Mar
ket street to the ferry, taking the 7 o'clock
boat. The departure of the commandery
will bo made with remarkable precision,
and the march will resemble the departure
of a battalion or regiment. The heavy bag
gage will be delivered during Monday to
the quartermaster's car and the light bag
gage will follo.v the comruanderv to the
boat.
Golden Gate Commandery No. lfi is
one of the best comnianderies in the
United States. It numbers now about
.275 swords. Through the enterprise of the
members they built and equipped the
handsome hall and asylum, f>2s and
(i' 29 Sutter street, one of the handsomest
edifices in the City, and very few com
manderies in the United States can boast
or a better asylum than that possessed by
Golden Gate. This commandery was
organized in April, 1882, having in view
the conclave which would take place in
San Francisco in 1883. During the past
twelve years the commandery lias been un
usually prosperous and successful in all
thincs pertaining to templarism. The
coramandery is famous in templar circles
throughout the order, and its drill corps
is famous as being a crack military body:
During the past years Golden Gate Com
mandery and its drill corps have given
remarkable entertainments at the Pavilion
and at their asylum.
As a rule all commanderies make it a
point to attend the triennial gatherings of
the order and are marshaled as an escort
at the opening of the session of the Grand
Encampment of the United States. Golden
Gate has participated in all the conclaves
since its organization. Few if any com
manderies proposing to attend the con
clave at Boston will make the pilgrimage
in better style. They will enter Boston
qualified and able to represent San Fran
cisco and California in a knightly and
dignified manner.
Oakland Commandery will leave Monday
evening in a solid vestibuled train of the
Union Pacific Company. The train will
consist ot one dining-car, the National, and
four sleeping coaches. It was brought out
here from Omaha specially for Oakland
Commandery by General Agent D. W.
Hitchcock of the Union Pacific.
One coach has been reserved for the
grand officers of the Grand Commandery of
California and their families and will carry
the following:
Right Eminent Sir E. E. Lippitt, grand
commander, and daughter; Eminent Sir
George D. Metcalf, grand generalissimo;
E. Sir Robert M. Powers, grand captain
general, and wife; E. Sir Thomas H. Cas
well, grand recorder, and wife; E. Sir
George B. McKee, grand sword-bearer, and
wife ; E. Sir Florin L. Jones, grand war
der, and wife. Accompanying them will
be Six Knights J. H. Neff, E. R. Hedges,
A. A. Reddington, W. H. Spencer and
wife, 8. H. Wagner and wife, Mrs. B. Ik
Weston, C. F. Irwin and wife, William
Petrie, W. A. Davies.
The next three cars will be filled with
members of Oakland Coinruandery No. 11
and invited Sir Knights and their families
as follows: D. Edward Collins, eminent
commander; Robert Smiley, captain
general; C. F. Burnham, recorder; Sir
Knights S. T. Channell, J. W. Philips, A.
Kendall and wife, W. M. Clifford and wife,
Mrs. W. J. Landers and daughter. Miss

A. Coult, William Slingsby and wife, W.
T. Clapj) and wife, Mrs. J. W. Walthall,
Mrs. J. S. Potts, C. H. Twombiy, wife and
daughter.
The route selected is one of the most at
tractive of all meandering ways across the
continent, being over the Sierras, through
Salt Lake City, where the party will visit
Garfleld Beach, thence via the Union Pa
cific over the Rocky Mountains to Omaha,
Chicago and via the" "N ickel Plate" railway.
The rapids and falls will be visited and
some distance beyond the train will be de
serted and the travelers will sail down the
St. Lawrence through the famous Thou
sand Islands. After enjoying the pictur
esque river the Knights and their friends
will meet the train once more and glide
dowTi into Boston. G. F. Herr, traveling
passenger agent of the Union Pacific sys
tem, will accompany the train to Boston,
and William Mareey will travel on it in
the interest of the "Nickel Plate" line and
other lines east of Chicago over which the
special train will pass.
The order of Knights Templar origi
nated in the early part of the twelfth cen
tury. In the course of a few centuries it
crew in wealth and numbers until it had
spread throughout Europe and was an
empire in itself. When the order was de
stroyed by Philip the Fair of France and
Pope Cleiiient V many of the Knights took
refuge in the Order of Malta and in some
of the Masonic fraternities of England and
Scotland.
The order in the United States derives
its authority and succession from the
brotherhoods which were established at
that time in Scotland. This order of
knighthood is essentially an American in
stitution and to-day numbers about 105,000
members. The order also exists in Great
Britain and some of the English colonies,
but the membership in these localities
would number in all'about 8000 swords.
The order in the United States is con
Every Druggist Keeps It
w Take No Substitute
trolled by a Grand Encampment, which
holds its conclaves or sessions at intervals
of three years at such places as may be
chosen. This is a deliberative body of
about 120 to 150 men and represents a very
high degree of intelligence and ability.
This is presided over by a grand master,
whose authority in the interim is absolute.
As a rule each State of the Union rep
resents a subordinate jurisdiction and the
governing body is known as a Grand Com
mandery. The Grand Coramandery is
composed of the three first officers and
past commanders of a subordinate com
mandery and meets yearly. A subordi
nate commandery may be established ac
cording to legal regulations at any point
where there is a sufficient population to
support it. A subordinate commandery
should number at least seventy-five Sir
Knights, as the ritualistic work is elaborate
and the paraphernalia expensive. There
are about thirty-seven jurisdictions in the
United States and some of them very
wealthy and powerful, Massachusetts, New
York and Pennsylvania being the strongest
in point of numbers. Three thousand Sir
Knights are enrolled under the banner of
California.
TO-DAY'S SPORTING EVENTS.
Coursing at the Parks and Several
Cycling Contests.
A forty-dog stake is on. the card at Ker
rigan's park to-day, and in order to com
plete the running before nightfall the first
dogs will be sent to the slips at 11 o'clock
a. m. Such good dogs as Lissak and Mayo
Boy are entered, aud if the hares run up
to their usual form a great day's sport will
be had.
It is expected that the deerhounds that
are to course the coyote recently captured
in the hare paddock at Casserly s park will
be on hand to-day, and an exciting run is
anticipated. The wild dog has gained
nothing in amiability since being confined
at the park, and may give the hounds a
lively tussle before being brought to aarth..
A good coursing card will also be pre
sented at this pars.
The following games of handball will
take place at the Occidental court to-day :
C. J. McGlynn and D. M. Stanley vs. P.

THE ANTI-BLOOMER DOG.
S. Korper Having Failsd to Produce It
Is Sentenced.
S. Korper, the owner of the anti-bloomer
dog that inserted its teeth in Miss Mary B.
Look's 1-eg while riding her bicycle on
Golden Gate avenue, was fined $50 with
the alternative of 50 days in the County
Jail by Judge Conlan yesterday.
Korper again denied vehemently that
he was the owner of the dog and pleaded
that he was a poor man ana should not be
fined. The Judge said he was satisfied
that the dog belonged to the defendant or
some member of his family and he should
have produced it in court when ordered to
do so. He had been given ample time and
seemed to be trifling with the court.
| |Korper was represented by an attorney,
who gave notice of appeal, and Korper
was released on bonds.
JOHN P. IRISH EXPLAINS.
He States His Exact Position on the
Silver Question.
The following letter is self-explanatory:
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 16. 1895.
Editor Call : The report of an interview with
me on finance, which is printed in your inter
esting issue of this morning, is incorrect in
making me say that I am a monometallism
I am a single-standard man, with gold for the
legal as it has long been the actual standard.
We have about two and a half billions of
money in the United States, every dollar of it
convertible at par into gold. If the limitations
improperly put upon the funding law of 1875
were removed and conversion of the floating
debt were finished the treasury would be re
lieved of the burden of redeeming a revolving
obligation, which is never paid, an<* with the
resulting currency vaccuum filled by National
bank notes our monetary system would be
quite sound and satisfactory. Very truly,
John P. Irish.
NEW TO-DAY.
THE REASON WHY
The $5 Rate Can Be Maintained at .
the Copeland Institute.
Not Only the Cheapest Rate,
But the Very Best Treat- •
ment, Scientific, Painless
and Efficacious.
Whoever pays more than $5 a month pays
too much. This is the charge of the Copeland
treatment. By universal admission this treat-
ment is the best. This low rate has been the
means of making the practice of Drs. Copeland,
Neal and Winn the largest in the world. The
large practice makes it possible to furnish only
the best treatment and the very best medicines
at that low rate. . _ -
The public in its cordial reception of the $5
rate, in its generally voiced conclusion that
"whoever pays more pays too much." has made
the maintenance of the rate a possibility. As
to the efficacy of the treatment thousands have
testiiied to the fact that they have been cured;
many more whose testimony has not been pup- m
lished have been cured. They are your friends .
and neighbors, and what they say can be taken
for the truth. Why neglect a disease which
not only endangers your life, but makes life not
worth living when the best treatment can be ,
had for so little money ? v .
HERE IS AX INSTANCE.
Showing What a Short Course of the
Copeland Treatment Will Do. " -
Mrs. M. C. Gilson, an elderly laay, formerly
a resident of Prescott, Ariz., but now living a*
217 Francisco street, speaking of her experi- •;
ence with the Copeland treatment, says:
Mrs. M. C. Gilson, 217 Feancisco Street.
"I cannot find words appropriate to express
my satisfaction and gratitude for the results of
a short course of treatment for catarrh at the
Copeland Medical Institute. I suffered terribly
from catarrh for over five years. My hearing
was impaired and I lost all sense of smell. My
nose was always stopped up, mucus accumu-
lated in my throat, and, to make a long story
short, I had all the symptoms of the disease. I
consulted with my friends, but they all thought
that treatment would do me no good owing to
my advanced age. I called on Drs. Copeland,
Ne'al and Winn and placed myself under their
treatment. It was out a short time until I*- .
could hear and smell, and now I am safe
in saying that I am a well woman again. Their
treatment is wonderful, as the results in my
case are but little short; of miraculous. I
earnestly advise all sufferers to go to the Cope
land Medical Institute if they want to be
cured." * . ■ .-
TREATMENT BY MAIL.
For those desiring the treatment by mail the
first step is to drop aline to Drs. Copeland, Neal
and Winn for a question list or symptom blank. ,
Return same with answers filled out and treat-
ment may be commenced at once. Every mail
brings additional proof of the success of the .'
mail treatment.
