Boston Preparing: to Entertain Her Gneifts Royally. BOSTON, Aug. 23.—Preparations for

the triennial conclave Knights Templar of the United States are being made. Observation stands are appearing by the score along the line of the great parade, and hundreds of decorators are engaged in hanging banting, flags and emblems on buildings, and the the electrical display will outdo anything of the kind ever seen in New England.

The floral decorations in the public gardens will be one of the features of the city's decoration. Here two handsome flloral arches are being erected, and a hundred Masonic emblems in flowers in plants are being arranged.

Tuesday, the day of the gran* parade, in which it is estimated nearly 30,000 knights will participate, will be the greatest day of the week, and if the weather is fair, it is believed that over 800,000 visitors will be in the city.

Excursions from all parts of New England will be run to Boston, and banks, public offices and most of the large business houses will close for the day. Places of vantage along the line of marcli are being let rapidly, the prices ranging from $2 to $40.

The committee arranging for the parade predicts that it will be one of grandest pageants America has ever seen. There will be over 800 horses in line, 100 bands participate and scores of unique features are promised by knights from different parts of the country.

There will be only a few business sessions of the conclave, and tlie week will be given up mainly to pleasure. Excursions and receptions, almost without number, have been arranged, and it is estimated that Boston will spend over half a million dollars in entertaining her guests.

Free Win^and Fruit.

DENVER, Aug. *TJ3.—Golden Gate Commandery l*o. 16, Knights Templar of San Francisco, arrived in Denver in a special train over the Rio Grande at 2:30 yesterday afternoon and left for the east via the Burlington 15 minutes later.

A stop of 30 minutes was made at Colorado Springs and both there and in Denver witie and fruit were freely dispensed by the tourists from their commissary oar.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.

One MRU Lomes His Life and Two Others Are Dying. TOLEDO, Aug. 23.—A shooting affray

occurred at Rattlesnake Corners, about 6ix miles west of this city yesterday evening, in which one man lost his life and two others are now lying at death's door. The three men had left this city for the Corners to have a night's amusement, and at once went to a saloon owned by Fred Behrendt. They were somewhat noisy and the saloonkeeper ordered them from his place. They walked to the sidewalk and again attempted to enter the saloon, when they were met with a charge of buckshot fired full at their heads by the saloonkeeper. Mike Wilch, a bartender, who was in the lead, received the greater part of the charge in his head, tearing away a portion of the skull, from the effects of which he died shortly after. Nelson Seymour, a bicycle assembler, also received a serious wound in the head, and a third member of the party, Henry Winters, a livei-yman, was beaten over the head with the stock of the gun and now lies in a critical condition.

Belirendt has been arrested and held on the charge of murder.

SCHOONER SUNK.

Excursion Steamer Collides With a Vessel loaded With Coal. TOLEDO, Aug. 23.—As the excursion steamer Idlewild was going out on her regular trip yesterday afternoon she collided with and sunk the two masted schooner Ferret of Bay City. The Ferret was loaded with soft coal for Mount Clemens and going out in what is known as the old channel and in veering around crossed the path of the Idlewild, and before she could be brought about the collision occurred. The Idlewild did not back away, but instead pushed the schooner into shallow water, when she backed away and allowed her to sink in 15 feet of water.

The captain and crew were taken off without injury except to the captain who was thrown to the deck and rendered unconscious by the force of the colis on re a in iv City in 1880, and was rated at 72 tons gross tonnage. She is a total loss. The Ferret was valued at $1,000, and her cargo at $1,500.

TO FREE CUBA.

An Expedition Being Organized in EaniU City For That Purpose. KANSAS CJTY, Aug. 23.—A local pa

per prints the following: Headquarters were opened in this city yesterday afternoon looking toward the success of an expedition already partially organized in behalf of tliD freedom of Cuba.

The nucleus of tne expedition consists of 100 picked men, who are ready to go at any time. The method of procedure is secret, but the leaders, all of whom are prominent, say there exists no doubt about the transfer of the men to the island.

Orville Shelby, son of "Fighting" General Joe Shelby, is said to be at the head of the movement. He and a few of his closest friends, it is learned, held a meeting last night, lasting until 1:30 this morning, at which plans for carrying out the expedition were earnestly discussed.

Every effort was made to throw the cloak of secrecy about the meeting. Just what transpired could not be fully ascertained, but it is shown that the organization scheme was fully matured. Diagrams and maps of the island and telegrams and letters showing direct communication with Thomas Estrada Palma, who has Cuban headquarters for this country in New York city, were submitted. Mr. Orville Shelby, in a published interview admits that the expedition is being organized and says the party will soon leave for the seat of war.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

A MODEST LITTLE HEROINE.

Gertie Anderson, Who Flagged the Train and Saved Many Lives.

In a small, unpainted frame house, among the pine trees and near the dismal swamp which stretches across the country from this place almost to Duluth, lives little Gertie Anderson, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hermann Anderson. The story of the little one's heroism was related in brief by the press when a telegram from this city told of her having flagged a passenger train which was plunging for-

ward to certain disaster, the track, over which had just passed a special train carrying a party of railway officials, having sunk out of sight in a muskeg, or subterranean lake, of which there are several along the line of the Duluth, Mississippi and Northern road between Grand Rapids and Duluth. Had it not been for her cool head and strong little body every passenger on the train would have gone down to death in the murky lake, for the sink hole which had suddenly opened and swallowed the track was hidden behind a curve in the tracks, and no power on earth could have stopped the train in time to save it after it had arrived at a point where the engineer could see the deathtrap.

The child is of course the most conspicuous personage in this section of tne state at the present time, on account of her brave deed, and has been the recipient of no end of attention. All this has not changed her in the least, and in spite of the money and presents which have been showered upon her she remains the same pleasant little creature she was before she distinguished herself. Thanks to his little daughter's bravery, Mr. Anderson, who is a fairly well educated man, has been offered a position with the Duluth, Mississippi and Northern road, at Duluth, at a salary of $65 per month, and today he was at home for the purpose of telling his wife the good news. "It was a blessed day for us when Gertie stopped the train," said the mother, pausing in her work and patting the soft, sunny hair of her daughter. "I have wished to leave the iron district here, but no other work seemed open to Hermann, so we staid. Now wc will move to Duluth, where Hermann has been offered a good place, and where Gertie can go to school. She needs it badly enough, poor child! Of courso I am proud of her—who wouldn't bo?—for every little girl would not be brave enough to do as she did. But we liavc always lived near the tracks, you know, so the children are not afraid of the trains. And I have endeavored to explain to her how dangerous are the many marshy places around here and cautioned her never to go near them, so when she saw the track disappear and the water begin to come up she knew that tlie passenger train would meet the very fate I had so often warned her about unless it was stopped before it came to tlio bend in the road. While the mother was speaking Gertie listened attentively, her sweet little face as red as the dress she wore, as red as the painted cheeks of her doll. She was not ill at ease particularly, nor was she forward, and when asked to tell her story did so in a charmingly simple manner. She lived over again the excitement through which she had passed, and once almost dropped her doll while making an expressive little gesture.—Grand Rapids Telegram.

The Captive Cucumber.

"Oh, my!" Willie couldn't believe his eyes. Nevertheless there it was, a large green cucumber a glass bottle that had such a tiny nceliT "How could it get in there, and whole, too, papa?" asked Willio in wonder as he carefully examined the queer curiosity. "Willie, boy, it grew there! answered papa, smiling into the boy's upturned face. "Howconkl it? See, the hole isn't bigger than mamma's thimble, and the cucumber fills the whole bottle!" continued Willie, more incredulous than before.

Then papa explained: "You see, I took the bottle out into the garden just after the cucumber began to form. It was then very easy to put the baby cucumber into the bottle. Of course I was very careful not to injure the stem or the vine, and so the cucumber just grew in its little glass house until it's a captive, surel" "Oh!" laughed Willie in great delight. "May I do that next year?" "Certainly, if you wish," said papa. —Youth's Companion.

Annie's Advice.

"What is the price of that candy?" asked Annie's father of the clerk. "Fifty cents* sir." "Thftt is rather high.. What shall I do abont it, Annie?" "Well, papa," replied Annie, "if the money were mine, I'd say, 'I'll take it, r, for my little girL' "—Philadelphia sir, for Times.
