pressing regrets.

embodied in his regrets poetieal piece OF
advice about as follows:
"Take tonight your recreation,
Then 20 work with might and main,
And each bring an application
When old Syracuse meets again"
MR.. DIGGs's SPEECH.
Asspeaker Of the evening Mr.. Bowden
introduced Grand Master r-of-Arms Isaac
Diggs. of West Point.
After reviewing the workings Of the or
der in general manner the speaker ni-
luded TO the TACT that the Knights or Py-
thias were opposed by two very honorable
classes of people. One of these were the re-
ligiOus persons, who claimed that knights
were led away from their religious duties
by fealty 10 the order. This could hardly
be true Of an organization whose teachings
were lfltuhHiiHs AHhAA NY RhA SNANNA
cence.n The ladies were the other oppo-
nents. charging that their husbands are
kept away from home until IL O'Clock
"eight nights in the week by lodge meet
ings. lie was going 10 tell them secret.
The Knights of PythIas only met once o
month. and then their meetings adjourned
bv o'clock. Speaking in a serious strain.
Mr.. Diggs said that the women should re-
member that it was TO chiyalry and knights
they owed the fact that they now occupy
the exalted position which belongs 20
them and which was so long denied them
In concluding his speech, which was
greatly enjoyed, Mr.. Diggs related in an IN;
teresting manner the story of Damon and
PythIas.
