Grand Ball.
Louisville, Ky., Aug. 31.—The twen
ty-eighth triennial conclave of
Knights Templar is a thing of the
past, and outgoing trains were laden
with the rear-guard of homebound
passengers. The majority of the vis
itors left during the night. The
white plumes and the gold girt uni
forms which have been so familiar
for four days, have become a com
parative rarity. In numerous in
stances the eommanderies split up in
order to take in points of interest in
this region, notably Mammoth cave,
which was the great attraction.
A Popular Selection.
The selection of San Francisco as
the next meeting place has met with
general approval. The older knights
still talk of the success of the con
clave of 1S83, which was held in the
Golden Gate city, and their younger
comrades are eager to sec not only
the city but the western country.
The assertion that San Francisco’s
restaurants and hotels are ample is
another point in favor of the Cali
forma metropolis.
Xothing; But Praise prom Visitors.
Nothing' but praise for the local
oommittees which provided the en
tertainment for the visitors was
heard while farewells were being said.
Such hospitality as that shown by the
Kentucky knights has never been
known before by the oldest knights.
Every Hunr Hail It* Plonsnros.
There has not been an hour since
the meeting opened Tuesday that the
knights have not had some pleasura
ble incidents to occupy their time.
Receptions have been endless, nearly
every eommandery having kept open
house. At every public function re
freshments of every kind confronted
the templars and their ladies.
Many Indies Present.
The twenty-eighth triennial has
been notable for the great number
of women present. A great number
of visitors brought their wives and
daughters with them, and Kentucky's
daughters were everywhere looking
to the entertainment of guests.
For the few knights remaining
here, and for the local committees, a
supplementary ball was arranged for
Friday night. Many who were un
able to gain admittance to the grand
ball, Thursday night, were present at
this last incident of the conclave.

Newport, I?. I., Aug. 31.—The auto
mobile races hcltl by the National as
sociation, were run off ou the half
mile track at Aquidneck park, yester
day afternoon. Mr. IVm. K. \ ander
bilt, Jr., president of the organization,
was altogether the star performer of
the day. He drove his own machine
in four races, made the best time on
the track, and won the championship
cup.
Fully 7,000 persons went to the
track. It was a notable society func
tion, and nearly every prominent fam
ily living here was represented.
In all, there were 1G races, but the
one attracting most interest and
irousing the greatest excitement was
that between young Vanderbilt, in his
new German racer of 35 horse-power,
and Mr. Foxhall Keene, in a machine
cf fully 60 horse-power. Each had
won preliminary heats.
Mr. Vanderbilt quickly shot ahead
at the start, and at the end of the
first lap was all of an eighth of a mile
ahead. Aided by a very clever chaf
feur, who at the sharp turns took
every chance and leaned far in with
only a small strap to support him,
Mr. Vanderbilt added to his lead in
the first mile. He was 56 seconds at
the half mile, and only 3:36 seconds
at the mile. His third half-mile was
made in 41 seconds, the fastest lap
of the meeting. Half way over the
course he had Mr. Keene surely beat
en, barring accident, and finished the
five miles in fine form, a winner in
7 minutes and 36 seconds, the fastest
five miles of the day.
The last event of the day was the
championship, for the winners of all
classes, ten miles, or 20 times around
xr.. n,_i
ily won in 15 minutes and 23% sec
onds. A noteworthy competitor was
Mr. Kenneth Skinner, on a motor tri
cycle, who was second, covering the
ten miles in 17:25 seconds.

Lawrence, Kas., Aug. 31.—J. ,T. Kun
kel, a German merchant, who was the
principal in a sensational murder trial
here in 1899, died yesterday. Kunkel
was tried and acquitted on the charge
of poisoning his second wife. The
case was fought stubbornly by both
sides, and the state endeavored to
show that the prisoner was responsi
ble also for the death of his first
wife, of his second wife’s daughter,
and of his own crippled son, all of
whom had met death at different
times suddenly and in a mysterious
manner.
Kunkel was apparently in good
health up to Thursday night. He ap
peared on the streets early yesterday,
but was taken suddenly ill, and died
soon after reaching his home.

Ske linen Amon Keeter.
She was a very talkative old aunty and
her memory was remarkable. Her nephew
from the city soon realized the strength of
both of these characteristics.
“Say, aunty,” he put in when he found an
opening in the old lady’s continuous chain
of reminiscences, “did you ever know the
Skeeter family that used to live around here
somewhere?”
“Knew ’em all,” cried the old lady, with
out a moment's hesitation. “Yes, indeed.
"Did you know Amos?” continued the
joker.
“Amos Keeter!” cried the old lady again.
“Well, I should say 1 did. Many’s the party
lie's taken me to. Amos Keeter? Dear,
dear, how his name does call up the good
old times!”
And then the wicked nephew had to go
out behind the woodshed to laugh.--Cleve
land Plain Dealer.
Loyalty to Ills Employer.
That young man who consented to have
a portion of his blood let out to save his
employer, set a remarkable example of
heroism. The incident shows what power
there is in good blood. There is only one
natural way to get good blood, and that is
from the stomach. If the stomach needs as
sistance, fry Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
This wonderful medicine cures dyspepsia,
indigestion, constipation, and makes rich
red blood.

The man at whose funeral they were as
sembled hadn’t drawn a sober breath dur

noted for always being in trouble with his
neighbors. "Well,” said one of his old ac

services were over, "he was a man of mighty
reg’lar habits.”—Chicago Tribune.
