One by one the picturesque figures Of
the past lose their actuality. We are not
now allowed to believe that William Tell
ever existed save in the imagination of
some Swiss romancer, and historians
cast serious doubts on the veracity of
the chronicles that have to do with tales
ofgood King Arthur and his Table Round.
Romulus, Remus and the wolf may live
in story books, but the serious writer Of
facts accords them scarcely an incredu-
lous line in his learned papers relative
to the origin of the Roman empire. And
now the Colossus of Rhodes must go
that giant figure that bestrode the port
and beneath whose feet rich galleys
sailed in to the harbor wall.
Messrs. Bartholdi and Eiffel, the max
ers of the statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World and the great tower at Paris,
have, after careful calculation, declared
that the Colossus, as described by ancient
historians, could not possibly have ex-
listed, for technical reasons. They say
that they have proved, as conclusively
as modern science can 60, that the le-
gend Of the Colossus is as mythical as
that of Hercules or any other of the sun
gods of old.

THE KNIGHTS OF pYTHlAs.

The Supreme Lodge to Meet at Milwau-
kee in July.
The sixteenth session of the supreme
lodge of the knights Of Pythias of the
world will be held in Milwaukee this
year, beginning Monday, July z, and
lasting one week. 1t will also be the
regular biennial conclave, and knights
and their ladies from all parts Of the
United States will be present. The last
conclave was held in Cincinnati two
years ago, and over 100000 people at
tended. From indications it is probable
that even a larger number will be at the
meeting in Milwaukee this year. Active
preparations for the event have been
under way for the past six months.
A general executive committee OF
score or more of leading citizens are CO.
operating with the members Of the or
der and bountiful entertainment is as
sured. Besides the money raised by the
lodges, citizens have donated a purse OF
$4,000. July is one of the pleasantest
seasons Of tho year in Milwaukee. Tho
summer heat is tempered by the breezes
from Lake Michigan, the nights are al
ways cool, bright, clear weather is the
rule, foliage and flowers are in their
prime, and the beautiful blonde city Of
the lakes will be at its very best-both
in weather and looks
The order Of the Knights of Pythias
is scarcely more than twenty-six years
old, and yet it's membership amounts to
over 100000. The first meeting was
held on Jan. 10, 1864, in r. A. Cham
pion's rooms, F street, near the corner
of Ninth, in Washington city. II was a
meeting Of some six members of he
Arion Glee club, and the gentlemen
present were j. II. Rathbone, w. II.
Burnett, f. S. Kimball, ID. L. Burnett
and r. A. Champion. At a previous
gathering Mr.. Rathbone had stated that
he had the ritual Of secret society
which he had written while teaching
school some time previously in a small
town in western Wisconsin. 1t will

thus be seen that Mr.. Rathbone is the
real founder Of the order The persons
named held several meetings, and at
first proposed mutual benefit society
to embrace only the departmental clerks
at Washington. BY degrees the order
took shape and was made to include all
worthy classes. The uniformed rank

insurance rank has membership of co.

Justus Henry Rathbone, the founder
of the order, is . native Of Deerfeld,
Oneida county, N. Y, and was born Oct.
20, 1880. In 1858 he became a school
teacher in the Lake Superior district,
and it was about this time that he con-
ceived the idea of the Knights Of Pythias
and wrote the ritual, which Is based ON q

The Princess Of Wales, on a recent
visit to the Royal Academy at London,
was arrayed in costume that elected
much comment Here is the description:
''She wore a dress Of golden brown
summer cloth; her skirt, which was long
and arrayed with no fullness in front or
at the sides and perfectly straight folded
at the back, was bordered all round by
band of black velvet surmounted by a
narrow line Of similar material edged
with gold braid. The bodice was out
lined in a corresponding way, and the
sleeves were almost fat ON the shoulders
and finished with cuffs Of black velvet
and gold braid She wore bonnet Of
velvet with satin surfaced foliage and
varied harmonious tones of brown. The
short velvet strings We're fastened with a
diamond pin, A long, black, curled

scure but ambitious telegraph operator,
stationed at Water Valley, Miss. When
the yellow fever desolated tho southern
country some twelve years ago he stuck
to his post while others fed.
He nursed the sick, he buried tho
dead, he gave courage to the living.
Night and day he toiled, one hour at the

fering. The Chicago Times asked him
Tor daily reports. and no more pathetic
stories Of endurance ever fled northward
along the willing wires than those he
sent. One day he telegraphed Manag-
ing Editor Dennett IF l live through
this may have place on The Timesf"
Promptly the answer went back: Ger
tainly. Your splendid work warrants
me in Offering you position. Come
here whenever you can"
Next night there was no bulletin from
Water Valley. Instead came brief
message to the editor signed by Mrs.
