THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs.
Rapid Growth of the Order-The Color
Line Extends TO Cinnamon.

Line Extends to Cinnamon.
The growth of the Knights OF Pythias
since 1884, ms shown by the report OF the
supreme chancellor. The total mem
bership in 1884 was 10000. The in
crease since then has been at the rate Of
between four and five hundred members
week. being now, including the new
grand jurisdiction Of New Brunswick,
nearly $4,000 members. 1t has 40
grand lodges and $500 subordinate
lodges. Between three and four mil
lion dollars have been paid out to
widows and orphans by the order since
its organization. Hereafter the term Of
the majOr-general will be four years,
and he will be appointed by the supreme
chancellor. 1t has been decided that q
Chinaman cannot be a Knight Of Pythias,
The supreme chancellor's ruling on this
point Is as follows:
Question-A Chinaman, whose name
had been changed ny an act Of the legis-
lsture Of New York, is a naturalized
citizen, a member of the Episcopal
church, a man of property and be-
lever in the Supreme Being, seeks ad-
mission to subordinate lodge of this
order, supposed to be in New York
City. Is he eligible to membership?
The Supreme Chancellor No. A
Chinaman is not a Caucasian. The act
of the New York general assembly
changing the applicants name does not
change his nature. Neither does the
fact of his naturalization under the fed
eral law give him greater or weightier
rights to admission to the portals Of our
order. The facts that he Is q man of
means and the member Of leading
church Of the country 10 good and regu-
lar standing are very creditable to him
and are passports to public confidence,
but do not change his nature or color.
This race comes within the color line
fixed by the supreme lodge constitution,
which excludes Cinnamon.

Texas Woods.

AT the present time there is an whole
some demand for Texas woods, and such
as are sold are realizing good prices. 1t
is worthy Of remark that the Texas
wool-grower is catching on to the i'm
portance of putting home woods in good
saleable condition, and are realizing the
advantages of their care and prudence.
In the olden days wool was put up any
how, dirty, greasy and dusty. They pre-
scented by no means tempting appear
ance, and buyers always made a great
discount for wastage to be on the right
side. Now the average wool ls sent to
market SO that it shows to advantage,
and there is no excuse for making undue
allowances for shrinkage and waste.

the Fredericksburg route was concerned
