It Is in Gala Attire in Honor of the
Knights Templar They Began to
Arrive at Noon and Continued to
Come on All the Trains During the
Kcmaioder of the Day Sketch of
the Coiutnandertes Programme for
Today.
R. K. SIR EDWARD R. SPENCER.
tf Philadelphia, Grand Commander.
The Knights Templar are here, that
is, most of them are here, as at midnight
neurly oil of the thirty-seven com
manderies which will participate In the
conclave had arrived. Those which
had not put in an appearance are lo
cated in nearby cities and they will
?ome In time to participate in the. par
ade which begins at 10 o'clock this
morning.
, Hugh de Payens was the first organ
ization to report. It reached here on
the Jersey Central mad at noon yester
day and headed by its own hand, the
Couturier, and l?d by an escort of
local Sir Knights and Bauer's band,
marched to the Hotel Jermyn. From
the time the Eastoninns arrived until
midnight there was almost a continuous
Incoming of corr.manc'eries. The str-els
In the business section resounded with
the strains of spirited band music and
saw eommandery aiter command'ery
go passing by.
Sir Knights ore everywhere. Some
are In uniforms, some are without, Bnd
where the Hir Knight does not appear
In person Ahere Is n banner, a cross,
a crown, or some other thing to denote
that he Is hereabouts.
An Important fact, and one which was
last night known to only the Grand
eommandery officers. Is the pres
ence at the Hotel Jermyn of Right
Kminent Sir AVnrren Larue Thomas,
grand master of the United States. He
is the most exalted officer of the Ma
sonic order In the country and Is In
general command of HO.ono men. Grand
Master Thomas reached here at 10
o'clock, having come via. Philadelphia
direct from his home In Maysvllle, Ky
and was accompanied by Right Kmin
ent Sir James H Hopkins, of Pittsburg-.
HONORS. THR OCCASION.
It is not all state Masonic organiza
tions that can secure the presence of
the national grand master, and his pres
ence is considered no less an honor to
the city and state than to the Grand
eommandery. For obvious reasons It
was not made known last night, even
to prominent Sir Knights, that Grand
Master Thomas wes in the city. He
was. somewhat fatlsued and while he
pilngled wl'.h the grand officers late in
the evening there was a successful ef
fort to keep his presence unknown. He
.will probably accompany Right Emin
ent Hir G'rnnri Commander Spencer In
this morning's parade and will be one
of the reviewing party.
Tlr.' extent of the crowd already in
the city was not fully appreciated until
after 8 o'clock. From that hour until
11 o'clock the strei ts in the business
section ami especially In the hotel dis
trict were fairly choked with Sir
Knights and their fair companions,
bands and commanderles in bodies. The
coining and going was Incessant and it
was with difficulty that carriages could
be driven through the streets. one
could not turn a corner without run-
nlng Into a bund. Women were every
where. Not a few of th"m were In
evening dress. The presence of so
many on the street was particularly
due to the receptions, from one to three
being held In each of the large hotels.
Neither yesterday nor last night saw
the real beginning of the conclave
which starts with the parade and review
at 10 o'clock this morning. The evening
however, was given over to the order,
ns there was a big reception by the
.grand officers In the parlors of the Hotel
Jermyn and an elaborate "at home" of
the two Scranton commanderlps, Mellta
and Coeur de Lion, in the Scranton
Rowing club rooms on Spruce street.
In addition there were individual eom
mandery receptions at the Wyoming,
House, the St. Charles, the Valley
House, and the Hotel Jermyn and a
band concert at Hotel Terrace.
HEADQUARTERS THRONGED.
Throughout the day the headquarters
of the grand officers at the Jermyn and
of the local executive committee in the
Frothlnghani arcade were thronged
.with visitors. At the former place the
callers were those who had business
w ith Grand Recorder Mont H. Smith or
with the other grand officers relative
to grand eommandery matters, while
at the local headquarters there was u
volum of Inquiries answered and other
business done concerning the more
general and detailed conclave arrange
ments.
From the time the commanderles first
began to arrive there were many ex
presslons of compliment and approval
concerning the welcome accorded them,
the decorations, the detailed plans and
everything that had to do with the
conelave. During the day and night
not a hitch occurred nor did an ar
rangement miscarry.
At midnight all the grand officers had
arrived and by 9 o'clock this morning
tl is likely that the following past grand
commanders will be here. General J
P. 8. Gobln, who Is a past grand master
or tne United States and the present
commander or the Third brigade, Na
tlonal Guard Pennsylvania; Hon Irv
ing f, w anger, of Norrlstown, con
gressman from the . Seventh district:
; Inn. James H. Codding, of Towanda,
congressman rrom the Fifteenth an.
qtrlfctf District Attorney Georire L Gra-
hain, of Philadelphia; Joseph Alexan- I
J
3 Kill o
o
der, Jr., of Scranton; Andrew J. Kauff
mun. of Columbia; Iee S. Smith, of
Pittsburg: Hon. James II. Hopkins, of
Pittsburg, who is also a past grand
master of the United States; Colonel
William W. Allen, of Philadelphia, and
George VV. Keiulrick. of Philadelphia.
Another pust grand commander
whose pieseiiee Is possible Is Christian
F. Knapp. of MIoomsburg, probably the
oldest active Sir Knight in the date.
INCOMING CCMMANDERIES.
Were .Met nl Hie Million by Delega
tions of I.ocnl Knights.
The reoeptun committee composed of
Sir Knights from both of the lueal com
manderles, Couer De Leon unil Mellta,
In coinmund of K. Sir R A. Zimmerman,
were busy from mini yesterday until
late in the night meeting tile incoming
commanderles and escorting them to
the hotels. Our citizens all felt a just
pride In the splendid uppeurunce--our
local Knights inutle in ihelr handsome
iii:iroiin and their military bearing.
This committee wus ubotit sixty strung
and was headed by Mailer s bund.
The earliest commiindcries to arrive
In the city were the Hugh de Payens,
No. J!), of East. m and tlie Kudosh, No.
29. of Philadelphia. Ruth of the com
manderles are stopping ut the Jermyn.
The Hugh de Payens bring with them
the famous Couturier bund of Kustou.
which will head them in the parade
with thirty-two pieces. The conimund
ery came in about fifty strong but their
number was Increased by several new
arrivals during the evening so they ex
pect to take at least sixty swords into
the parade. The eommandery has
about u dozen ladles In the party.
The De Molay. No. 9, and the Rending,
No. 42, commanderles, both of Reading,
also came In shertly after noon yester
day nnil put up ut St. Churles. Togeth
er they lire about one hundred and
twenty-five strong. The Hospitalers,
No. 4;, of Lock Haven, were early ufter
noonarrivnlsaudstopped nt theConway
house. They number about forty and
have brought with them their own
hand.
Raldwln II., No 22, of WUllnms
port, came In on u special car via Sun
bury at r.22 p. in. They were Joined at
Sunbury by five members of Gethse
mune. No. 75. of York, and also four
members of St. John's, No. 8, of Carlisle,
Sir Knight M. J. Wert, of Continental
eommandery. No. fti. of Chambcrsburg.
also enme on with the purty. These
three commanderles, are quartered In
Hotel Terrace. St. John's of Cnrllsle,
and Oothsemr.ne had their ranks in
creased by late arrivals last night.
The Baldwins 11 nre twenty-six strong
and had In their party ten Indies. This
eommandery brought with it the well
known Flsk Mllllnry band of Williams
port, which discoursed delightful music
during the early part of the evening
much to the pleasure of the guests of
the hotel and the residents of that por
tion of the city.
NIGHT OF RECEPTIONS.
Grand Olliecrs nnd iWnnr Com man
lcr:c keep Open House.
It reiiulred some expert engineering
and a great deal of fast traveling on
the part of the Sir Knights and their
latlles to attend all of last night's re
ceptions and at homes. And the crush
at each was so great that when it was
ail over there was many a ruliled toilet
which had been fair to look upon when
the reception tours began, Hnd there
was many a tired Sir Knight who had
earlier felt equal to the task of escort
ing a dozen wives If need be.
The throng centered in the vicinity of
Wyoming avenue und Spruce street
and was ut times so dense that foot
tralllu was only pos-slble along the pn ve
ment. It was nn orderly crowd und one
of good quality and constated mostly
of the reception callers.
The reception by the Grand officers
took place In the Hotel Jermyn parlors.
Grand Commander Spencer und the
other fifteen grand oflicers were attired
In evening dress, and, excepting grand
eommandery badges, wore nothing to
denote their rank or Templar connec
tion. They relieved each other by
groups and received In the east parlor.
Music was furnished by Matter, Re
freshments were served in the breakfast
room adjoining the parlors.
Coeur de Lion, No. 17. and Mellta,
No. tis, the two Scranton commanderles.
Jointly gave an ut home in the Scran
ton Rowing club rooms on Spruce
street. The committee which conduct
ed the off air was usslsled by a number
of Indies. This was probably the most
largely uttended reception of the even
ing, but tlie three Poors contained in
the Rowing club's commodious home
obviated the crush which would have
prevailed in smaller apartments. Punch
and lemonade, ice cream and sand
wiches were served nnd music was sup
plied by u party of Matter's inusleluns.
The committee in charge was com
coir.posed of Sir Charles S. Seamnns,
chairman; E. Hir Charles M. Merman,
K. Sir Charles McMulleii, E. Sir Charles
I. Sanderson, K. Sir Kuril C. Drowning,
E. Sir Andrew H. Holmes, Sir Thomas
D. Howe. Sir Alfred 11. Hhnplnnd. Sir
George S. Kingsbury, Sir Walter M.
Dickson, Sir Arju Williams, Sir Rufus
J. Foster. They were assisted by the
following ladles: Mrs. E. If. Rlpole,
Mrs. J. N. Rice. Mrs. F. H. Swan, Mrs.
A. Foster. Mrs. George- H. Benore, Mrs.
11. A. Council. Mrs. W. 1. Council. Mrs.
C. B. Dermnn, Mrs. Conrad Schroeder,
Mrs. S. C. Gernon, Mrs. T. F. Penman,
Mrs. C. It. Shryer, Mrs. Joseph Alexan
der, Jr.. nnd Misses Frederica Merman,
Emily Stevens, Ada Sterling, Carrie A.
Drowning, Rena Howe, Mae Klefer,
Dertha Jenkins, Jean McKcnna, Alice
Darker. Quantities of tlie oflieiul sou
venir badges wciv distributed.
Two receptions were held simultan
eously ut the Wyoming. Philadelphia
Cuinmandery. No. 2 received In Parlor
A on the first floor. Eminent Sir Walter
Jones, captain general; Eminent Sir P.
J. Linden, Eminent Sir George W. Ken
drlck. Eminent Sir Frank M. Hlghl-'y,
Eminent Sir Amos H. Hull and Sir Wil
liam King were most prominent in en
tertaining the callers. Th- ladies com.
mundery assisted. St. Albans. No. 47,
also of Philadelphia, had one of the
ladles' parlors on the second lloor as Its
social headquarters. Right Eminent
Sir W. VV. Allen, Eminent Sir K. H.
Cohen and Eminent Sir H. W. Smith,
together with a corps of ladles looked
after the visitors. Ringold band of
Scranton rendered concert selections
during the reception.
De Molay. No. 9. and Reading, No.
42, of Reading Joined In receiving at the
St. Charles. They made a very preten
tious effort to have their reception
considered the most attractive of them
all and many who attended accorded
them the distinction. The sample room
on the first Hor In which tlie receiv
ing oflicers and their ladles were sta
tioned was transferred Into a floral
tower. Gfrmanla band of Reading
rendered the music. . Souvenirs In the
shape of champagne glasses, suitably
-engraved re presented to all who
called and each was also served, with
refreshments.'" i- - -
Kodash Commandery. No. 2, of Phil
i i.
1
adelphia probably had more callers
than any of the ether commanderles
which received nt he hotels. Their re
ception room was on the tirst fl xir of
the Jermyn, just off the main corridor
and as everybody and his wife went to
the Jermyn at one time or another
during tlie evening the aforesaid bet
ter half took in the Kodash reception.
Five hundred souvenir China cups and
saucers were distributed among the
lady visitors so from this it Is safe
to say that twelve hundred people nt-tendi-d.
Bauer's orcJiestra furnished
music and waiters from the dining
room served luncheon and punch.
Chester Commandery No. 8, of Ches
ter, kept open house at the Lackawanna
Valley House during the curly part of
the evening end was honored by hund
reds of callers whom they entertained
with true Quaker hospitality.
DECORATIONS ABOUT TOWN.
Thy Are ul'uu Artistic and Elaborate
Nature.
That the art of the decorator Is no
longer dependent for its pleasing effect
upon the use if Hugs, streamers und
bunting, would have been nuparent to
the most casual observer walking along
the business thoroughfares of tlie city,
lust evening. Electrical figures of
every slae and design llavlied out beams
of vuriegated colors from the doorways,
ills and ro.ifs of the business blocks
on Lackawanna and Wyoming avenues,
transforming these ordinurily well
lighted sections into highways of bril
liancy, suggestive of the approach to
the pleumne gardens of an Indian
prince. The willingness which our
merchants displayed to decurat their
business establishments In response to
the itrouest of the local Knights und
the elaborate und expensive scale upon
which many of them ornamented their
Plates goes far towards maintaining
the reputation for hospitality und gen
eral good cheer gained for our city upon
numerous past occasions of similar
character.
lAickawaiina and Wyoming avenues,
as viewed from the Wyoming house cor
ner, presented the effect of waves of
noting colors. The striking black and
white decorutlons with the Intermedi
ary colorings of red, yellow und dark
blue, suggested the luvlshness und dis
play of some old Spanish city en fete for
a great religious holiday, and this ef
fect still further augmented by Maltese
and Iitln crosses seen on every side
night carry the mind of the Imagina
tive i n looking back to a 'emote period
In the history of medieval Europe where
he sees bunds of tierce, iron mulled
warriors, moved by the burning elo
quence of an obscure monk to under
take the rescue of the burial place of
the founder of their fuith from the
bands of the desecrating Infidel.
He sets them make perilous Journeys
of hundreds of miles through Inhospit
able hinds; he sees their c ,?s In mortal
combat with the crescent ot the Orient;
he sees a kingdom founded, flourish nnd
fall; he sees it rescued, re-established
and finally fall again, and forever; but
midst ell the blood and sacrifice of two
centuries, he sees arise a mighty organ
ization which shall outlive the sanguin
ary times which gave it birth, and
here our dreamer stops; his mind
makes u mighty vault, and he Mnds
himself on the streets of our city In the
year of our Lord 1S!1. engrossed in a
prosaic observation of banners nnd bril
liant colorings, displayed In honor of
the very organization his mid-day rev
ery hud led him to contemplate.
The decorations ns a whole were very
hamUome and possibly have never

been equaled before in the city. The
building on Wyoming avenue occupied
by the offices of the Illuminating. Heat
und Power company was ablaze of
electrical designs which flashed their
colors out on the avenue from early
evening until the crowds of sightseers
und visitors hud deserted tlie streets.
The top of the building was surmount
ed by a crown and cross figure. On a
lower slil were the giant letters, K
and T. separated by the figures 4!i,
symbolic of the forty-third state con
clave. On this same building was an
arrangements of lights in the lower
coiner of which was a Hashing star, a
design probably appreciated more by
tlie Knights than the ordinary sight
seer. The display made by Lebeck & Cor
In, of the Lender, was one of tlie most
unique and beautiful ever seen in this
city. Our city authorities have been
experiencing a vast amount of trouble
fiver the portico which Mr. Frotliing
ham has erected ns tin entrance way to
his theater, but hud Mr. Frothliiglia'ii
taken the pains to have His structure
J lie ornament to the highway which
the beautiful creation in black und
white which stands in front of the Coal
Exchange, the uppeul to the artistic
mind of our people would have been
so strong that our mayor and street
commissioner would not huve the cour
age to run counter to it.
The handsome decorations which
adorned tlie stately building of tlie
Traders' National bunk and the excel
lent taste shown in the grouping and
distributing of the heavy colors such as
the black und dark given was mghly
creditable to our local decorators,
Messrs. Fuhrmun & Co. Among the
most striking decorations on Lacka
wanna avenue were those on Sumter
Urus., Collins & Hackett, the Henwodd
block and Goldsmith Mros. The Li
brary building, on Wyoming avenue,
was a muss of Hags and bunting.
Last night the electrical features of
the decorations showed forth In great
beauty, notwithstanding, the drizzling
ruin, which gave the bunting und flags
a bedruggled appearance,
