'The Conclave as Seen by a Geor
gia Woman-
A GREAT DAY IN LOUISVILLE-
The Marching Knights Form aPa
geant— The Grandest in the
# City’s History.
On the morning of August 26th
V e started on our journey from
Winona Lake over the Big Four
rai ! road southward, arriving at
Louisville at 8:30 p. m. We ran
into Seventh street station, and
wnen we looked out there were
seemingly acres of people to meet
a, I looked on and wondered
ho v we could ever penetrate that
solid mass of humanity, but I was
quickly relieved of that doubt as
we recognized the face of our splen
did host, Mr R. C. Caldwell, who
had soon taken us in full charge,
and being a traveling man knew
just how to arrange to get through
the crowd. We were soon seated
in his carriage and being driven
through the beautifully illumina
ted and decorated streets of Louis
ville, all the business houses being
resplendent with electrical displays
n the shape of Maltese crosses and
crowns and other designs. There
has never been such an electrical
•display south as was seen in Louis
ville. It was indescribable in its
magnificence and brilliancy.
Louisville had on her gala dress
on this occasion, and on every side
were incoming Knights in com
manderies marching to their head-
quarters under escort and accom
panied by bands and cheered by
thousands along the streets who
were there to welcome them. We
-soon arrived at our home, where we
were received by Miss Caldwell in
that gracious manner which seems
so natural to Kentucky women.
After a good night’s rest we pre
pared to take in the sights. We
were fortunately located on St.
James Court, where we could wit
ness the grand parade which was
six miles in length, and was in
line at 9:30 on Main street and on
up Main into Brooks, and then
Market and then to Jefferson, then
through the beautiful Court of
Honor,to the city hall, which was
decorated in every conceivable
place with bunting and banners,
and at Fourth and Broadway they
passed under the grand arch, which
was a gigantic crown and cross of
Malta, emblematic of the order;
then on until they reached St.
James Court, and to Central Park,
where they disbanded at 3:30 p.
m.
We stood six hours ana thirty
minutes looking on this line of
march; twenty thousand plumed
in their full uniform,
twenty thousand swords flashed in
the sunlight, twenty thousand nod
ding plumes, and four-score gaily
uniformed bands discoursing sweet
music, and high above all each
comraandery had floating a banner
of the cross of old glor3’. This
was a grand sight, such as has
scarcely ever been witnessed be
fore in Louisville. Many eyes
were wet with tears. Many in this
parade were past middle life, and
this fact only made the scene more
impressive. The Louisville com
mandery led off this line of march,
and they were the first to disband,
and passing back up the street we
had the pleasure of meeting many
of the noble Knights, and then
came our own Gate City command
ery, of which we were justly proud,
and many of them were good men
of our own state.
It was estimated that more than
three hundred thousand witnessed
this grand parade. .There were
seventy-five thousand Knights in
the city, und more than two hun
dred thousand visitors. Each
comraandery was accompanied by
their wives, daughters and sisters,
who were accorded the same privi
leges as the Sir Knights. Beauti
ful women and gallant Knights
from Maine to California were
here. Louisville has made her
self immortal in the hearts of these
men and women. Noted for her
hospitality, she has on this occas
ion been more generous than ever
Before, Her gates were unlocked
and the keys given to the visitors,
and Louisville was under the Cross
and Crown, and they in turn were
pleased with their reception and

entertainment and accepted the
compliment in the most gracious
tuau From dawn till dark,
trom dark till dawn, the streets of
the city were filled with people.
Sir Knights and beautiful and
gaily dressed women marching to
the music and attending the recep
tions in various parts of the city,
where all were invited from 8
o’clock a. m., till midnight.
Drill day at Churchill Downs
was one of the beautiful and inter
esting features of the conclave. It
was a genuine Kentucky show,
and the visitors at this place saw
the finest drilled templar teams
work and a beauty show that has
scarcely if ever been equalled.
Visitors from every state in the
union were there, and never before
has such a cos nopolitan crowd
been seen in historic old Downs.
Li 5 place perhaps is not familiar
to your readers, but is the famous
race track of the country, with its
fine views and handsome courses.
The sponsors attended in body,
a*d were selected from among the
most beautiful young women of
Kentucky and other states, and
thev presented a very striking
scene, all dressed in pure white
with white picture hats, as they
came from the tent which had
been specially*arranged for them
to mfeet the Knights as they came
from the field of drill, They each
vied with the other in attention to
these gallant Knights, and the
prizes were presented by these
fair young girls to the victorious
commauderies in the evening at
the horse show building, where all
the beauty and chivalry of the
city, as well as that of the visitors,
was presented.
Last night the grand ball given
in honor of the sponsors and maids
of honor at the horse show build
ing was one of the most brilliant
in the annals of the city, and was
largely attended by the Knights
and their ladies. More than twen
ty eight hundred tickets were is'
sued to the floor, and no gentleman
was admitted unless in full uniform
of a Knight or in full evening
dress. Of course all ladies were
admitted. There were said to be
fifteen thousand people who wit
nessed this brilliant affair. This
was a fitting finale of this great
event, and the curtain was rung
down on a scene of beautiful wo
men and chivalrous men to the
music of ‘‘Home Sweet Home,”
and the twenty-eighth triennial
Conclave had come to a glorious
ending
Louisville holds the first place
in the hearts of the Knights, and
they expressed themselves as hav-
I g had the times of their lives a: and
they were glad they had the privi
lege of coming.
Mr. Jones left this morning to
finish bis chautauqua engagement.
We will remain until Sunday
night, and then home to Carters
ville, Ga., after haviug spent one
of the most delightful summers of
our lives. But as I said in a for
mer letter, we are always glad to
turn our faces homeward, and will
be glad to meet the loved ones of
our own state and town.
Mrs. Sam P. Jones.

The Great Tabernacle Meeting
Is Near-
LARGE ATTENDANCE IS LIKELY-
Fine Array of M inisterlai Talent to
Assist in Services. Railroads
Will Give Low Rates
The great tabernacle meeting
will open next Sunday morning.
A special prayer service will be
held Saturday night, however.
That this will be one of the
greatest and most successful of the
tabernacle meetings is well assur
red.
The talented ministers who will
be lfere and preach will furnish an
opportunity to hear the scriptures
ably expounded that none will
want to miss. Such divines as
Revs. Monk, Anthony, Brown,
Dickey, Johnson, Bigham, Byrd
and Gofer, one does often have
the prerogative of listening to.
Rev. Sam Jones, our own noted
evangelist, the admirers of his
wonderfully unique and strong
sermons, will want to hear and
will be here by the hundreds to
enjoy.
The music will be a splendid
fealu re and t he array ot good sing
ers will be greater than heretofore.
The railroads will give the usual
low rates from other points and
there will be great crowds here
from Atlanta and below as well as
points above on the W. & A. and
from Alabama and Georgia points
on the East and West. The peo
ple of the country have been talk
ing about the meeting for some
time and will be here, it is believ
ed in large numbers.
It is hoped and believed the
meeting will be largely attended
and will be productive of much
good.

ADOPTS SUFFRAGE ARTICLE-
Owners of a S3OO Real and Person
al Property IVlay Have Franchise
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 30. —
The constitutional convention to
day completed the article on suf
frage and it was adopted. The
only important amendment adopt
ed provides that persons may vote
who own S3OO worth of real and
personal property instead of real
‘‘or personal property.”
The articles on municinal corpo
ations were under consideration
when the body adjourned for the
day.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 30. —
Judge Cobb, in the convention to
day, called up his motion to recon
sider the vote by which the bill of
rights was adopted. He stated
that he had moved to reconsider in
order to change the section relating
t > the rights of foreigners. That
section, lie said, gave them all the
rights and privileges of citizens of
the state, yet having no responsi
bilities of citizenship. Delegate
Boone differed with Cobb and
thought the section had worked
well since 1875. The motion to
reconsider was laid on the table.
Kx-Governor . Oats offered an
amendment to section 162, forbid
ding judges from engaging in act
ive partisan politics. The amend
ment was tabled. The article on
impeachments was then taken up.
Delegate Jones offered an amend
ment to section 173, w hich provides
that in the trials of a governor or
lieutenant-governor before the sen
ate that the chief justice or an as
sociate justice should preside in
his absence over the senate. It
was adopted. This was the first
time the convention had accepted
<©ti amendment
Delegate Jones offered further
amendments, providing for the
calling of the legislature together
in a special session to impeach the
governor or lieutenant-governor.
It provided that the majority of
the legislature could make known
to the secretary of state their desire
to have a special session of the leg
islature called. The amendment
was adopted.
