Briefly. Sir Knight Lloyd holds that to be in good stand-; ing a Knignt Templar must maintai his standing In both chapter and . .. lodge. The grand master read an argument upholding his position and the . matter then went to the committee on Jurisprudence. The committee brought In a majority report accepting the grand master's stand In the matter, but a minority report was also submitted , and hotly advocated on the '. floor. : The two' reports were finally submitted? to the members of the encampment, 250 of Whom were present, and thq vote sustained the majority report by over 200 ballots., The committee oa . Jurisprudence also brought In a report sustaining the grand master la his position that a grand master can not create a Knight Templar at sight, after the ancient fashion of kings, who knighted soldiers on the field of battle. This has been a mooted question, as there has always been an element favoring the granting: of this privilege to. the grand commander, wlio would thus be able to honor prominent men in the . way universities and colleges confer degrees on distinguished persons. The encampment decided to put the assessment of .Sir Knights back to 5 cents per capita per year. At the Pittsburg conclave the .rate was reduced to 3 cents, as (he encampment had more money than it knew what to do with. -: Grand Recorder Mayo says there is still plenty of money on hand, and the adoption of the old rate bad no particular significance, . The report of Grand Master Reuben H. Lloyd, submitted to the grand encampment, contained the following: "The order Is in a most satisfactory and healthy condition and : steadily growing. The present term, which began July 1, 1899, commenced with 114.-640 members, and closed with 125,108.

Sensational Incident of the Meeting of ''the: American Bar Association Denver, Col., Aug. 29. Congress man Llttlefield's attack upon the Uni ted States supreme court for its decis ion in the Insular cases was "not tue only Interesting feature of the meeting of the American Bar association in Denver last week, although it was the most widely reported. , ; v". ? The really sensational incident of the meeting was the blackmailing of United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson for membership In the -Bar association ."' " The local committee that passed upon bis application was composed of seven members of the Denver bar, six of them being Democrats and one a Republican., This member, however, Mr. Vatle, was not present "af the meeting,,, as he is in Europe, The report accompanying the recommendation that the application be denied was not made public. It is generally admitted that ft must have dealt with other than his legal qualifications, as his standing as a lawyer is widely known. Mr. Pat terson had some notoriety as a law yer In Indiana long before he took up his residence in Colorado. It is a most unusual thing for a lawyer of reputation to be blackmail ed by the American Bar association, i and Its members are anxious to know the cause for the action in Senator Patterson's case, which la all the more remarkable in view of the fact that the newspaper of which he is the pro prietor contained an editorial tha day before the vote was taken highly eulogizing the American Bar association and welcoming its members to Denver.' HE IS A STRANGER TO" WATER Tresiury Statement, Washington. Aug. 29. Statement of the treasury balances In the general Drinks Two Gallons of Beer a Day and is a Victim to Morose and 8ullen Attacks. Dayton, O., Aug. 29. Before Judge McCann dismissed the lunacy proceed ings against Charles Lawrence, a married man, 37 years of age, resid ing in East Dayton,, he almonished him to reform in the matter of drink ing beer, Lawrence having admitted on the stand that he drank two gal lons of beer every day and that water was an unknown thing to Mm. He kept up this record for two years and occasionally swallowed a glass of bour bon to arouse himself from a lethar gic state. Lawrence worked .for a brewing concern and as he remarked to the judge: "What does a fellow want with water when there la so much free beer?" The Judge told him he needed a good flushing of water nd that he would perhaps recover from the periodical spells which have made him morose and sullen and which alarmed his family. LOST $100,000; DIES A PAUPER. I another in planning and .rmuiting summer pleasures for theJ -snipes i Columbus has allowed , city to surpass it in this respect but it has remained the Kilbourue & Jacobs Manufa?it!ng .. company to carry ofT the pMin in this city and in all others as taV as heard from this season. This year's is the ..thirteenth an nual outing of the employes of the Kilbourue & Jacobs , Manufacturing company. Every year the men with their families are taken to some resort selected by a committee in which all the expenses of transportation, mil' sic, refreshments, 'amusement, etc.. are borne by the company. This year's trip to the exposition at Buffalo is not an innovation as to the trip to the World's, fair 'at Chicago In 1893 Was made in the same way and attracted much public attention at that time. ; This evening there will be a novel sight in the union station. Crowds of men, women and children will throng its spacious platforms and stairways, with excited, eager faces, all hurrying toward the special train of a doz en coaches, waiting for them on the appointed track." If you can persuade one of the throng to stop for a minute he will tell you that the Kilbourne & Jacobs company are sending their employes to the number of several hundrednot on a picnic for a day; but on a grand four day excursion to the Buffalo exposition, and he will proud ly display his handsome badge explaining that it is the personal gift of the gauerous , . 'president, Colonel James Kilbourne. No wonder11 Unit company never suffers a strike! Such generous, almost lavish kindness, ought to go far toward cementing the relations of employer and employe ln 1 the firm est friendship. The trip includes two beautiful boat rides across Lake Erie a day and a half to visit the beautiful exposition and a half a day at Niagara Falls. If the visitor to our city attending the state fair wishes to see one of the sights of which we are justly proud, let him visit the union station Thurs day evening between the hours of ten and eleven and bid good speed, to, the excursionists and join them as the train pulls out, in a cheer for "Buf falo" and a "Tiger for Kilbourne Colic M mfss.

Deputy Coroner Buckley and a jury of six wen viewed the body In th3 parlors of the home and returned a verdict-that ihe young woman came to her death by an overdose of morphine, taken with suicidal Intent There was and is still aa element of mysterv in the case. Great efforts were made by the family and police to hash the matter up, and even the coroner's office was ' unusually Interested, Inasmuch as the inquest waa held only a few hours after the young woman's deatli, wbpreas in moat cases a much loiiger time elapses. ':'-,;:-v -h -"'U-C;' Miss Ball, the only daughter of Charles H. Ball, a manufacturer of musical instruments, with offices in the Auditorium building, recently completed her musical education. She was a leader of a younger social Bet in Kenwood. The cause of her sui cide is a mystery, the family stoutly declaring that she bad no love affairs. From Information reluctantly given to Deputy Coroner Buckley, the young woman was frequently in ihe company of Dr. Denslow Lewis, a prominent Hyde Park physician. Dr. Lewis " is a widower, handsome, wealthy and stands high socially and in his profession. He had during the last two years frequently escorted Miss Ball to entertainments. Last Satuiday was the last time the physician and tha dead girl had been together. - Tuesday evening she left home, say- lag that she was going to visit a girl friend. The next seen of her by her parents was at 1 a. m. the next morning, when a cabman aroused the family and informed them that their daughter was helpless in his rab. The father and the cabman assihtt-d the pirl to her -roomr-tiha -filed wMhitt an boir-- without speaking a word. ' Dr. Lewis was hurriedly railed, as was Dr. M. Furlong, bis associate. They arrived too late. Dr. Lewis visited the police and Inspector Hunt. , He awakened the inspector at the lat-ter's residence and requested to know if an inquest must be held. The inspector insisted, and then Dr. Lewis' visited the Hyde Park police station and excitedly implored that the mat- . ter be kept quiet ! The police at once ' fent to work upon the case, and after much 'difficulty Detective Burn3 locat- ed Jack Jordan, the cabman who had brought the woman to her home. ' Jordan told the coroner's jury that while standing with his cab in front , of the Calumet cafe, shortly after mid-night he aw Miss Ball stagger from the place, followed by a man. Both, he thought were at the time under tne influence of liquor. The man hurriedly walked away and the young woman began to cry. Manager Berry of the cafe approached the young woman and asked her to go home. - "I have no money, but Dr. Lewis will pay for my cab," she said. Dr. Lewis was then called up by telephone and agreed to pay the bill. The young-woman was helped into the cab and ordered the cabman to drive her to the physician's residence, but instead lie drove ber to her home, having first secured her address. When he attempted to arouse her he saw she was in a stupor and awakened ber parents. .;.,'-. In the pocket of the dead girl's dress was found a half -emptied bottle of morphine tablets. f No trace of the man who accompan- " led the dead girl to the Calume cafe can be found, though the police are still searching for him. "I have spent more than $ 12.000 on Pearl's musical education," said the grief -stricken father, "and t.ho was my heart's joy. I cannot believe that she killed herself." I have known the dead girl for many years and have frequently been in her company," said Dr. Iwis. "She suffered from severe headaches, and sometimes -took morphine in search of relief. I cannot imagine why she should have committed suicide." Inspector Hunt and Lieutenant Backus were early at the Ball resi- dence. Inspector Hunt being a close friend of the Ball family. He made a thorough investigation and decided. that the girl had committed suicide. It Is a plain ease of suicide," sahl the inspector. "Wbat possessed that beautiful, talented, light-hearted ghl to kill herself is a mystery." . Had to Work in Hay Field. Biicyrus, O., Aug. 29.

Sensational Incident of the Meeting of ''the: American Bar Association Denver, Col., Aug. 29. Congress man Llttlefield's attack upon the Uni ted States supreme court for its decis ion in the Insular cases was "not tue only Interesting feature of the meeting of the American Bar association in Denver last week, although it was the most widely reported. , ; v". ? The really sensational incident of the meeting was the blackmailing of United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson for membership In the -Bar association ."' " The local committee that passed upon bis application was composed of seven members of the Denver bar, six of them being Democrats and one a Republican., This member, however, Mr. Vatle, was not present "af the meeting,,, as he is in Europe, The report accompanying the recommendation that the application be denied was not made public. It is generally admitted that ft must have dealt with other than his legal qualifications, as his standing as a lawyer is widely known. Mr. Pat terson had some notoriety as a law yer In Indiana long before he took up his residence in Colorado. It is a most unusual thing for a lawyer of reputation to be blackmail ed by the American Bar association, i and Its members are anxious to know the cause for the action in Senator Patterson's case, which la all the more remarkable in view of the fact that the newspaper of which he is the pro prietor contained an editorial tha day before the vote was taken highly eulogizing the American Bar association and welcoming its members to Denver.'

Before Judge McCann dismissed the lunacy proceed ings against Charles Lawrence, a married man, 37 years of age, resid ing in East Dayton,, he almonished him to reform in the matter of drink ing beer, Lawrence having admitted on the stand that he drank two gal lons of beer every day and that water was an unknown thing to Mm. He kept up this record for two years and occasionally swallowed a glass of bour bon to arouse himself from a lethar gic state. Lawrence worked .for a brewing concern and as he remarked to the judge: "What does a fellow want with water when there la so much free beer?" The Judge told him he needed a good flushing of water nd that he would perhaps recover from the periodical spells which have made him morose and sullen and which alarmed his family. LOST $100,000; DIES A PAUPER. I another in planning and .rmuiting summer pleasures for theJ -snipes i Columbus has allowed , city to surpass it in this respect but it has remained the Kilbourue & Jacobs Manufa?it!ng .. company to carry ofT the pMin in this city and in all others as taV as heard from this season.

Every year the men with their families are taken to some resort selected by a committee in which all the expenses of transportation, mil' sic, refreshments, 'amusement, etc.. are borne by the company. This year's trip to the exposition at Buffalo is not an innovation as to the trip to the World's, fair 'at Chicago In 1893 Was made in the same way and attracted much public attention at that time. ; This evening there will be a novel sight in the union station. Crowds of men, women and children will throng its spacious platforms and stairways, with excited, eager faces, all hurrying toward the special train of a doz en coaches, waiting for them on the appointed track." If you can persuade one of the throng to stop for a minute he will tell you that the Kilbourne & Jacobs company are sending their employes to the number of several hundrednot on a picnic for a day; but on a grand four day excursion to the Buffalo exposition, and he will proud ly display his handsome badge explaining that it is the personal gift of the gauerous , . 'president, Colonel James Kilbourne. No wonder11 Unit company never suffers a strike! Such generous, almost lavish kindness, ought to go far toward cementing the relations of employer and employe ln 1 the firm est friendship. The trip includes two beautiful boat rides across Lake Erie a day and a half to visit the beautiful exposition and a half a day at Niagara Falls. If the visitor to our city attending the state fair wishes to see one of the sights of which we are justly proud, let him visit the union station Thurs day evening between the hours of ten and eleven and bid good speed, to, the excursionists and join them as the train pulls out, in a cheer for "Buf falo" and a "Tiger for Kilbourne Colic M mfss.

She was a leader of a younger social Bet in Kenwood. The cause of her sui cide is a mystery, the family stoutly declaring that she bad no love affairs. From Information reluctantly given to Deputy Coroner Buckley, the young woman was frequently in ihe company of Dr. Denslow Lewis, a prominent Hyde Park physician. Dr. Lewis " is a widower, handsome, wealthy and stands high socially and in his profession. He had during the last two years frequently escorted Miss Ball to entertainments. Last Satuiday was the last time the physician and tha dead girl had been together. - Tuesday evening she left home, say- lag that she was going to visit a girl friend.

They arrived too late. Dr. Lewis visited the police and Inspector Hunt. , He awakened the inspector at the lat-ter's residence and requested to know if an inquest must be held. The inspector insisted, and then Dr. Lewis' visited the Hyde Park police station and excitedly implored that the mat- . ter be kept quiet ! The police at once ' fent to work upon the case, and after much 'difficulty Detective Burn3 locat- ed Jack Jordan, the cabman who had brought the woman to her home. ' Jordan told the coroner's jury that while standing with his cab in front , of the Calumet cafe, shortly after mid-night he aw Miss Ball stagger from the place, followed by a man. Both, he thought were at the time under tne influence of liquor. The man hurriedly walked away and the young woman began to cry. Manager Berry of the cafe approached the young woman and asked her to go home. - "I have no money, but Dr. Lewis will pay for my cab," she said. Dr. Lewis was then called up by telephone and agreed to pay the bill. The young-woman was helped into the cab and ordered the cabman to drive her to the physician's residence, but instead lie drove ber to her home, having first secured her address. When he attempted to arouse her he saw she was in a stupor and awakened ber parents. .;.,'-. In the pocket of the dead girl's dress was found a half -emptied bottle of morphine tablets. f No trace of the man who accompan- " led the dead girl to the Calume cafe can be found, though the police are still searching for him. "I have spent more than $ 12.000 on Pearl's musical education," said the grief -stricken father, "and t.ho was my heart's joy. I cannot believe that she killed herself." I have known the dead girl for many years and have frequently been in her company," said Dr. Iwis. "She suffered from severe headaches, and sometimes -took morphine in search of relief. I cannot imagine why she should have committed suicide." Inspector Hunt and Lieutenant Backus were early at the Ball resi- dence. Inspector Hunt being a close friend of the Ball family. He made a thorough investigation and decided. that the girl had committed suicide. It Is a plain ease of suicide," sahl the inspector.
