were interesting in so far as the profess

scene from Hamlet, IS presented by
amateur, was but a very faint rendi.

this role, which embodies the grandest
and most difficult character that Snake

knights OF Pythias.
The three lodges OF the knights of
Pythias celebrated the thirteenth ami
versary of their order by public parade
yesterday afternoon and a banquet in
the Peabody hotel last night. Main
street was crowded with spectators as
the procession, headed by brass band,
marched down this grand avenue. The
Knights, In their new uniform, present.
ed fine appearance, and elected very
general praise from The spectators. At
the corner of Adams and Main streets,
and also opposite Court square, where
there was large crowd assembled, the
knights went through series of intri-
cate evOlutions in the manual Of drill,
their commander being General M. T. I
Williamson. The knights of Pythias
are evidently well drilled, and yesterday
made handsome display, which viii
bear a critical comparison with that of
other benevolent orders. Although the
order is young, it has grown with more
Tapidity and popularity than any other
organization in America, and low has
lodges In every State Of the Union.
