In the evening tho knights, high and low, accompanied by their wives and lady friends assembled In the Ly ceum to witness what Is known to tho order as a grand tourney, but to tho laymen would be a well arranged social jiff all. The purpose of tho tourney was to afford the major of our city an op portunity to bid the sir knights a formal welcome. The interior of the Lyceum was artistically decorated with the Malta tolots Thr pros cenium was draped and on the left was tho grand commandery standard. Tho loces and boxes came In for their shaie of tho adornment. Upon the stage were seated the grand commandery ofllcers, Major Molr, members of the '99 committee and Bauer's band. Sir Frank II. Young, secretary of the '99 committee, lntioduced the speakers of tho even ing. His remaiks in each Instance wero apt and well spoken. The first speaker was Major Molr, who un questlonally left no doubt In tho minds of his hearers that Scranton was all that It professed or her citizens boasted for it. MAYOR. MOIR'S FIRST. His addt ess of welcome was as fol lows: Grand master and jnembeis of the Ancient and Illustrious Order Knights of Malta: I bid j-ou welcome to this our goodlj- city of Scianton. For over a year we have heard It announced that an Invasion of our city would take place about this time. Our vigil ant olllcers ni.d citizens generally have noted an influx of strangers for the past few dajs; arriving singly or In detachments; all carrying weapons of oftense and defense, and proclaiming by the insignia on their uniforms that they are all members of the same body and are here for a definite purpose and that their every movement is pre concerted. Our curiosity wns naturally aroused, not only as to the safety of the city, but as to what manner of men com posed this strango and to us entirely new military body, and their Inten tions while hero In force. On Inquiry tho claim was made that they were members of the famous military fta temlty known as the Knights ot St. John, later Known at the Knights of Malta. By referring to history I soon learned that this organization has long been known to fame; this illustrious military brotherhood has had a long, eventful and glorious history; that early In tho twelfth century they first appeared In Jerusalem, banded to gether for the protection nnd succor ing of the Pilgrims who came to worship In the Holy City. We find that they were famous not only for their valor, but for their devotion to Christian religion, their boundless charltj' and their noble hospitality. They displayed their prowess on many a bloodj- field and in the de fense of many a beleagured city. For centuries jour order stood the bul warks of Chtlstlanlty in the East against Mohammedan aggiesslon. The world knows of their mighty deeds nt Acre, In Cyprus. In Rhodes and finally in the Isle of St. Paul, from which you derive your modern name Malta, What reader of history Is there that does not feel his blood tingle when he reads of the defense of tho cnstle of St. Elmo, where one of tho most ag gressive and ablest rulers of Ottoman Turks was checked, crippled and beaten back by a handful of knightly heroes? But those days of rapine and blood- shel aie of the past. CROSS AND CRESCENT. The descent Is steadily on the wane. The Pilgrims can come nnd go In the Holy City unmolested, Cypius and the Isle of Malta now belong to a Chris tian emplie, thus pioviug that the deeds of valour performed by j'our ancient brethren weio not In vain. As I understand It, you modem knights seek not only to keep alive their valor ous memories, but also to piactlce those pilnlcple3 which Inspired them and made them so ramous. Mnltas, you aro followers of the man ot Galilee, and j'ou pioclalm j'ourselves as such; the ethics of the sermon on the mount prevail among you; j-ou aro a Christian fraternity I llnd thu emblem of Christianity Is dlsplnjed on every uniform. How refieshlng In those latter days, those davs of mawkish sentlmentallsm, of scepticism and doubt, to see so many men, old and young, but especially the young men, declare what they are and have the courage of their convictions. I often recited when a boy Watts' stiong hymn; I'm not ashamed to own my Loid, Nor to defend his cause Maintain the glory of tho ctoss And honor all his laws. Yes, whenever tho tacied emblem worn by u since your Hist organiza tion under Raymond Depuy; vvli'ievor that emblem has been displayed It has always been the harbinger of better things. Well nntl trusiv can jou ring In the cross of Clulst I glorv, Towering o'er the wreck of llino. All tho light ot sacred stoiy citheis rounds Hb head sublime Grnnd master, having a slight knowl edge of tho principles and alms of your order, wc hall your advent among us with delight; for the first t4me in jour history j'ou have floated tho standard ot a grand master In the city of Scran ton. We metaphorically surrender to jour forces. Our draw bridges aro down, tho port cullls is up, and j'ou have pos session. May your toloinn in our city be pleasant; may Vour deliberations while hole result In good work, not only to jour own oider, but to tht many communities you represu. Again I welcome you to I ha modern, up-to-dnte, progiesslVe1, hospitable city of Scranton The Schubert ciunrtette, who were as sisting In the tournej', sang tho "Mad rigal," by Splcher, and were encored.

Sir John (lowland! letlrlng grand commander, was lntioduced nnd re sponded to Mayor Molr's welcome In behalf of the grand commnndeiy Ho was liberally applauded and In part said: "In responding to your honoicd may or's welcome to jour beautiful city, I feel that I cannot do Justice to my self or to the commanderv. How over, his remarks prove that the order is Indeed welcome, ns we have been made to feel already by tho generous attitude of tho citizens and tho ar rangements by (tho committee iliro Also that the order has a history Is proved bj' the mayor, who seems to have acquainted himself with the fact. We of tho order believe in it and aro not ashamed. "That we are welcome is evidenced bj tho splendid decoiations here nnd on the buildings in your city. I am taken with tho city, though I have only seen a small portion, but its pro gresslveness and apparent prosperity places It second to none of tho cities In the state which aie up-to-date. I will carry away with mo none but tho most kindly lemombranccs and In bo half of mjsclf and tho olllcers and lepresentatlves of tho grand com- manery.I most heartily appreciate j'our almost royal welcome." David Stephens, ut the quartette, sang "Tho Last Watch" and was en cored. "The Supremo Commandery" was tho topic of a short but able address de livered by Sir E. W. Samuel, M. D, supremo commander. Ho spoke as follows: About threo months ago thero was ad mitted to ono of tho Philadelphia hos pltuls a soldier who was suffering With a strango maladj, bis ctso puzjlcu tue phvslelans for a time, but upon closo investigation and deep study it was dis covered that he had seen service upon the Islo of Malta.

Continuing through the dark and bloody jears of tho Ciusaders from Jerusalem to Cyprus, from Cyprus to Palestine, from Palestine to Hhortes, from Rhodes to tho Islo of Malta, fiom tho Islo ot Malta (being banished by Napoleon) to Scotland, and from Scot land to tho American continent, we havo endeavored to enrrv out tho samo prin ciple of administering to suffering hu manity.
