The highest office in the gift OF the Dis
trict Knights of Pythias is held by Mr..
Henry G. Wagner, he being the grand chan
cellor of the order. His term dates from
last February. and until that month in 1S95
he will be acl nowledged head Of nearly
LOO knights. He Is a man of considerable
executive ability, and has contributed
largely to the progress Of the order. vari-
Gus other fraternities which claim him as a
mem Der have likewise profited by his con-
nection with them.
Mr.. Wagner Is distinctly a Georgetown
man. having been born there forty-six years
ago. and has been engaged in the watch
making and jewelry business on NJ street
near 32d since 1851. in connection with his
brother. Mr.. John f. Wagner He had
scarcely reached his majority when he be-
came member of Hermione Lodge No T.
and four Yeas later, in 1872, was elevated
to the chair of past chancellor.
The Grand Lodge received him the same
year as Hermione's representative and I'D
to the present time he has annually been
honored in the same manner. In 1875 Her.
mione Lodge became severely crippled. The
membership fell off, and the treasury be-
came almost bankrupt. Applications were
few and far between. For a time it looked
as II in spite of the good the lodge had ac-
complished the charter would have to be
surrendered. 1t was then that Mr.. Wagner
exercised his ability to build up and sustain
the interest in such bodies. Assisted by a
handful of selected ones, he worked so
hard and steadily that prosperity arose
from the ashes OF decay. Within a short
time his efforts were so rewarded that Her.
mione took its place among the most thriv-
ing lodges in the District of Columbia
In 1878 he was entrusted with the office of
keeper of records and seal. The same year
also witnessed his election to the office Of
grand master-at-arms In the capacity Of
master of finance he has served his lodge
since 1879, having been selected from q
membership of strength and numbers
MIR. Wagner all during his connection
with Hermione Lodge has exerted himself
in various ways to build up the order in
general. Section No. $50, Endowment Rank,
which carries insurance to the amount Of
over $4,000. was organized by him, and
since It's organization he has served as
secretary. Hermione Division, No T. Uni
formed Rank Knights of Pythias, also owes
it's existence to him. 1t Is now nearly five
years old and has known no other captain.
Last year the Grand Lodge testified its es-
teen for him by rendering him the Office Of
vice chancellor. At the last session he
mounted the topmost round of the Pythian
ladder, accepting the highest effice and
dignity within the gift of the order. In ad-
dition to his numerous lodge engagements
Mr.. Wagner takes an active interest in out
side affairs, particularly those of his native
town. He Is director in the First Co.
operative Building Association, and q trus-
tee in one Of the churches.
