Arrival of the Masonic liodlo at the Cnpital City Fifteen Thousand Men March in the Oruiitf Parade -Scenes of the Triennial Conclave. A Washington dispatch says: A brisk northwest wind, which fluttered the flags and streamers decorating the buildings along tho lino of march, praved rather a cold welcome to the visiting commanderies when they arrived in this city; but the

warm reception which they received from tho crowds on the streets acted as an offset to the inclemency of the weather. The organizations already comfortably ensconced in their hotels and other bostelries, together with tho ladies accompanying them, were engaged in viewing the public buildings and other points of interest. The district commanderies, resplendent in ostrich plumes and bright uniforms, were busily engaged in escorting the arriv ing guests to their headquarters. The roll of drums arid the b' are of ti:um pets everywhere lilled the air as commandery after comma rdory filed up tho wide avenue. The city is a city of waving plumes, Haunting tiaKS, and glittering costumes. Pennsylvania avenue was crowded during the whole day with tho soldiers of the cross, with swords at their sides and their coat fronts resplendent with many badges and emblems.

Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia are tho only southern States which sends a good representation to the conclave.

The banner States m tho number of knights and commanderies here are Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York. and Massachusetts.

One strong, well-dmscted blow sends the nail truer to its home than a dozen coaxing taps. One lit and earnest word parries more weight than does a yard of klgh-flow eloquence. A man who cannot distinguish between right anfl wrong, cannot distinguish himself, unless he mistakes notoriety for distinction. Are wo sufficiently distinct? The word "dude" is probably derived from the term "dud" as applied to clothing, which accounts for the Bple:idor of the dude's wardrobe. Money, matrimony and alimony make nearly all the business for the courts of justice.

RAJAH BROOKE'S SUPPRESSION OF A CHINESE SOCIETY.

fey Flogging, Branding, Exiling: mnA Execu tingr the Members of a Secret J-awtos Chinese Order, He Hopes to Pat a Stop to Its Murderous Deed. A Canadian Pacific steamer which ha just reached Vancouver brings mail intelligence from Sarawak, a British colony in Borneo, that summary vengeance had been meted out to a Chinese secret society which recently decreed death to all non-members. The societv was the Ghae Sin, notorioiiR in China for lawless deeds. It gained great strength withiii the last few years in Sarawak, and all arrangements had been made to take vengeance on Chinese who refused to recognize its authority. Luckily, Kajah Brooke, a son of the famous Eajah who established British supremacy in the Straits, learned of tho conspiracy, and, in a sudden attack upon the society's quarters, secured documents that led to the arrest of about fifty leading members. Six were condemned to death and eleven to be tloffged, and, after imprisonment, permanently exiled. Aug. 12 the six condemned to death were taken out in a small steamer, blindfolded, bound, and shot, their bodies being sunk in the river. About a score of prisoners will be exiled after the flogging and branding if they will reveal further the secrets of the order. This is the same society which almost compassed the murder of the first Bajah, Brooke, and all foreigners in Sarawak a generation ago. Several hundred were thin hanged or shot and the society was wiped out. A branch of this society exists in San Francisco and its members are among the most desperate of highbinders.

B.t has been poisoned by strychnine, which was in candy ttiat had been sent to her has band by mail. Two other ministers here received poisoned candy in the same way. The case, which is most mysterious, is similar to the one at Gait, Ont, where lit tie Meta Cherry was murdered and poisoned by candy sent to the family of the Rev. John Ridley. An investigation is in progress, Report From Admiral Kimberlr Admiral Kimberly has reported to the navy department his arrival at Honolula from Apia. In his report he describes his parting from the natives and the gifts received from them. He states that the work that was necessary to be done on the Nipsic has been finished, ana that if sue had her armament sue would be ready for a three-years cruise. One advantage of electing John I. Sullivan to Congress would be that he would introduce the Marquis of

I Queensberry rules into that body, which ; would be an improvement on the pres

ent rules. Local politics run high in the Western country. A candidate for County Clerk in Texas offered to register marriages for nothing. His opponent, undismayed, remised to do the same and throw a cradle in. It is advisable to put our hearts into whatever work we may have to perforin, but it is wise to think well before we put our money in. "It is queer, said the deaf-iante, "I can't remember his name. X have it light at the ends of my finrrjs, too.
