The Metropolis of Xtw Knirlflnd Elaborately
Decorated In Honor of Sir
Knlghtfi Drawn From All Paris of tlie
Land?Twenty-fivp Thousand in Line
?Visitor# Lavishly Kntertalned.
j Seven hundred and fifty thousand people
taw tho parade of over 25,000 Sir Knights
^Templar at the opening of the twenty-sixth
Triennial Conclave in Boston, Mass., and
. with one accord pronounced it the grandest
pageant ever seen in that city. People were ^
everywhere?in the streets, on the sidewalks,
on the roofs of buildings and street
cars, clinging to tops of telegraph poles, S
whenever the vigilance of the police and lit
linemen was relaxed for a moment, in IM
wagons and drays filled with seats in tho
aide streets, and on hundreds of grand
stands, large and small, alonsrthe route.
Never in the history of ancient Boston has
a greater host of strangers crowded within
the city's gates, and for many years the
spectacle will be the precedent with which
great gatherings in New England will be
compared. It was a good-natured crowd
anrl noncidnrint? its size was well handled.
From every State commanderies began to _
arrive at an early hour, and thousands of ag
Spectators came with them. The streets near ril
the railway stations echoed with the din of
scores of bands and the trains of arriving
Knights and their escorts. The railroad men af
were completely overwhelmed by the magnitude
of the crowd.
Everywhere within a radius of twenty
miles of the State House the day was practi- w]
cally a holiday. Most of the factories in q,
neir-by cities were closed, and the opera- q,
tives helped to swell the horde of people who ca
watched the profession. By eight o'clock mi
the thousands of spectators were seeking Hi
points of vantage along the line, and from <ji)
then on the throng increased until every acj
avenue open to the public was jammed with th
humanity. Long before the starting time 1
every grand stand seat was taken and the ea
owners reaped a harvest. The polioe ap- eh
pointments were well nigh perfoct. Shortly ur
before the parade started platoons of officers Mi
oleared every street through which the Sir 0r
Knights were to pass, and roped them off, tei
and until the last division had passed no en
traffic of anv kind was allowed on these tic
thoroughfares. ne
The entire city donned a holiday dress and Qt
on every hand flags, banners, gayly colored nu
pucuiuura auu utisuiut; u^iiis un/^icu luonyu. j^i
Immsense numbers of incandescent lights to
were arranged to represent almost every xt
known Masonic emblem. The Masonic Tem- 0f
pie decorations were of course, the most ca
elaborate, the principal feature being a huge on
outline cross 01 colored lights, covering al- mf
most the entire front of the building. The ca
Albion Building was not far behind, and all th,
along Newspaper Row the occupants ex- qU
tended a welcome to the Knights in a blaze
f light. vis
The bunting, flags and emblems on buildings
and residences, and the electrical display
outdid anything of the kind ever seen
In New England. The floral decorations in
the public gardens were one of the features
of the city's decoration. Two handsome
floral arches were erected, and a hundred r
Masonic emblems in flowers and plants were
wranged. v
The lines of the parade were formed in am
thirteen divisions in a column of double sec- pB<
tions. The signal for the start was greeted
by the cheers and salutes of 10,000 people m?
gathered near the starting point.
As the great boly of Knights, the flower of c?'
American citizenship, moved down Com- .
monwealth avenue, the spectacle was an in- 1Dfi
spiring one. The music of 100 bands and lin'
the applause of thousands of people flllei the ?e'
air, gayly bedecked horses pranced at the
head of each division, while the contrast of 5"
the dignified black cloth of the uniforms, the if'
waving of the rich plumes and the bright ,
Bilver and gold emblems, which are conppicuous
in the Templar uniform, combined
to present a scene that was pleasing s .
and impressive, and withal lacked the
monotony which mauy expected. ?
The leading division of the pageant, pre- *.
ceded by platoons of Boston's sturdy policemen,
was very imposing. The 150 aides. . ,
under command of Chief Marshal R. Em. ?,
Sir Samuel C. Lawrence, were all mounted
on handsome horses, and with their bright
trappings and new uniforms made a brilliant
display. B ;
The division which was led by Right Emi- ,
jient Sir Samuel C. Lawrence, Grand Commander
of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, p''
as Chief Marshal, with Right Eminent Sir r
Charles C. Fry as his chief of staff, and fifty- ?r
four of the most prominent Knights of the
Boston Commandery as aides, included the ' ^
^representatives of the Grand Commanderies ?
?f the United States, as escorts to the j;'
Grand Marshal, with niuety-three aides
from the more prominent commanderies of
America; the Boston Commandery, with Sir
Eugene A. Houlton, Past Commander. aS r
Chief of Division and Eminent Sir Frederick '
Comee as Chief of Staff, with eitcht aides; f
th? TTrr\!Qi?- A.Ko 101
|M. Seymour Commander, as special escort "
to the Most Eminent Grand Master Hugh
McCurdy; the officers of the Grand Encampment
in carriages, the members of the Grand
Encampment in carriages and the following s
subordinate commanderie* under the Grand p?
Encampment of the United States: r
South Carolina, Charleston, 8. C.; WashIngton,
Washington, D. C.; Columbia,Wash- r

St. John's, Wilmington. Del.: Potomao, ^
Georgetown. D. C.; Muskegee. Muskegee,
Indian Territory; McAlister. McAlister, In- ? >
dian Territory, and Olivet, Orlando. Fla.
Beside Chief Marshall Lawrence rode Mayor 1.,
Curtis, Sir Knights Charles Pierce and Hans- ?
com, Deputies Superintendents of Police, th
and Sir Knight Abbott Horton, as busier.
This was by lon? odds the greatest con- .
clave of Knights Templar that the country .l
has ever known. Never before in this gen '
eration were such immense throngs of peo- ^
pie seen upon the highways. fei
' There were only a few business sessions of
the conclave, and the week was given up f
mninly to pleasure. Excursions and recep- ?e
tions almost without number had been ar- QE
ranged, and it is estimated that Boston spent jg
over half a million dollars in entertaining g0
her guests.

From Diamond Valley.
id
a A dispatch from Burns, Oregon, says:
in courier from Diamond Valley reports t
killing of fifteen Bannocks by catt'.emen t
der the leadership of "'Rye" Smith. Smitl
o- reason was revenge for the murder of ]
father in 1878 in Diamond Valley,
rk The matter has no bearing on the Jac
d. son's Hole troubles. Ever siace Smitl
le father was killed in 1878 by warriors of t
Bannock tribe he has been "on their trai
ie and not a few have met death at his han<
to It seems that a party ot Indians were
or their summer bunt near Diamond Vail
q. and killed a number of cattle belonging
te the stockmen, whose herds range in tb
re vicinity. A party of cattlemen was orga
er iz*il to punish the marauders, a
Smith readily undertook to lead them.
The pursuers located the Indians about
| nour Deiore sunset ai iawir ca'up uwi
I western edge of the vulley, and witho
e. warning opened fire upon them. The Indi;
er bucks were thrown into a pan:c and tied f
the hills, the squaws following suit. T
ae stockmejn pursued them and tired a voll
at the fugitives, dropping several of the:
Including one or two squaws. The purst
st was not continued, the cattlemen believi)
tnat sufficient punishment had been i
ie flicted.

Indians were found after this one-3id
