KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF HONOR.
Wilbelminen Lodge, K. and L. of H., danced
at Pohlmann's Hall last night. and were out IN
large numbers. The ladies predomlnated con-
spicuously. but this seemed 10 add more vigor
TO the merriment. The Lodge people enjoyed
themselves immensely. All the officers OF the
Lodge were in attendance besides many visitors
from sister lodges
KNIGHTS OF PYTHI4S.
The contemplated Rathbone Division, Knights
of Pytnias, is an assured thing. Last Monday
night over fifty members from other lodges
signed their names to organization papers, and
the number is away past the required twenty
nine. Its probable that this new division Will
be one of the strongest and best of organiza-
tons. The names include some of the most
prominent men from outside lodges, and all are
enthusiastic in the welfare of the newly formed
division.
