What IL Meant,

''1n recent issue the Chicago Times says:
Knights of Pythias of Nebraska, according to
dispatches, have offered $4,000 as an enter
tanmcnt fund for the supreme lodge of that
order, provided it would hold its session next
June at Omaha. Mr.. Edwin l.. Brand, of
Chicago. commander of the Illinois brigade
uniform rank, Knights of Pythas, said yes
terday that he could not understand such
move. At the last meeting of the supreme
lodge at Toronto in 1856 which was attended
by supreme representatives of all the states
and territories, it was unanimously decided to
have the next session at Cincinnati He
thought it would now be impossible for even
the supreme chancellor to change the meet
ing-place. Hotel accommodations have been
arranged for in Cincinnati, and it is alto
gether unlikely the programme will be
changed"
The cause ofthe move is readily explained.
Cincinnati gu arantccd ut Toronto an enter
tainment fund of $4,000. The reports in the
papers of that city were taken as evidence
that they had failed to keep their pledges.
The manner in which Supreme Chancellor
Douglas was compelled to plead with his fcl-
low citizens to stand by their agreement was
humiliating to every member of the order.
The Pythans of Nebraska assembled and
cured pledges in the sum of $4,000, to be
used as an entertainment fund i'll case the
session should come to Omaha. This offer
was telegraphed the supreme chancellor with
the belief that if Cincinnati should not fulfill
its agreement the interests of the order
should best be subserved by changing the
place of meeting and knowing that Omaha
had the cash to back its liberal offer. Ne
braskan Pythans do not expect the session
to go elsewhere now than Cincinnati but they
have the satisfaction of knowing that their
prompt action and generous offer brought to
time those who We're disposed to regard
session of their highest body as "a trivial mat
