KNIGHT OF PY1HIAs.

Past Supreme Chancellor Shaw has ex-
pressed himself in favor of a Supreme
Court for the order, believing that the
office OF Supreme Chancellor should be
an executive aud not e judicial one. He
will recommend at the next meeting of
the Supreme Lodge the establishing of a
court Of last resort. Only Past Supreme
Chancellors by service will be eligible to
serve in it; meetings to be held once in
three months; all legal matters to come
before it in regular order: and the judg-
ment of the tribunal to be absolutely
final and not subject to The review of the
Supreme Lodge. These recommends
tiors are the outcome of many cases
which came before Brother Shaw for adj
justment.
