last evening at Knights of Pythias Hall.
9Oi Pennsylvania avenue. called to discuss
the abolition of the German ritual by the
Supreme Lodge at the recent encampment
The meeting was in session until almost
midnight and was stormy throughout. A
number Of members talked at length and
said things not at all complimentary to the
supreme body. After a couple Of hours had
passed in this manner a resolution Of pro-
test was offered expressing the disapproval
of Occasia Lodge at the action of the Su-
preme Lodge in regard to the German
ritual The resolution was passed unani-
mously.
The question of whether or not Occasia
Lodge shall pay over to the executive COM
rnittee of the District Jurisdiction Its SUBJ
Scription and personal contributions al
ready collected for the Pythian encamp-
ment was also discussed at length. Dur
ing the arguments on this question the
meeting gradually thinned out and the
final vote was IL to against paying any
thing toward the expenses of the encamp-
ment.
A number Of the members stated, how
ever, that the matter will be brought up at
the next meeting of the lodge and that
the money in question will be undoubtedly
turned over to the Pythian executive COM
mittee which is about $500 short. Five
lodges are as yet delinquent, and each of
them will be visited by Past Grand Chan
cellor Richard Goodhart chairman of the
Pythian executive committee. who Will use
every effort to have a complete settlement
of all Indebtedness made.

ADJUSTMENTS.

New National Theater.-Bixet's charming
opera Carmen was given by the Tavary
company at the New National Theater last
night and in spite Of some disadvantages
the performance was enjoyed by a good
audience. In the title role Thea Dorre made
distinct hit singing and acting the part
with grace and dramatic effect that
placed her at once in the affections of her
audience. Her voice is musical in tone, of
good range. and, although not strong in
the lower register, 1t is sympathetic and
well trained. She sang with spirit and
fully deserved the applause her efforts re-
ceived. She has agreeable personality,
being young and quite pretty, and she is an
admirable actress. Nine. Tavary took the
small part of Michela, and was only seen

FLOWERS AND SHRUBS.

AMONG summer Towering bulbs glad
iolus is the best plant from May till the
middle of June for a succession.
NIGELLA. or love-in-a-mist, is hardy
annual, with finely cut foliage and
singular flowers. useful in bouquets.
SUITABLE trees for street planting
are Norway maple, sugar maple, silver
maple, linden, plane, catalpa, paper
birch and elm.
AGERATUM is a valua BILE hardy annual
on account of the length of time it re-
mains in bloom. and furnishes desirable
flowers for bouquets.
WILD cucumber is the most rapid
growing of all climbers. It has dense,
graceful foliage. with sprays of white
flowers, which are followed by curious
round prickly seed pods.
THE date palm, which is of inesti-
mable value in producing food for the
human race, fourishes in the dry region
of northern Africa and western Asia,
and often reaches a height of 125 feet.
YUCCA filamentosa is hardy peren-
NAL, but a tropical-appearing plant
with long narrow leaves that remain
green the entire year. 1t throws up a
long flower stem in summer, four to
five feet nigh, bearing large spike of
creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers,
which retain their beauty for a long
time

Cheerful Rooms.

The cheerfulness ola room depends
not only upon the color and form of the
furniture, but upon the location and
the manner in which the light is adj
mitted. Dark materials are great alb
sorbers of light. Dark heavy furnl-
ture goes far toward making gloomy
and sepulchral room that might be
light and cheerful. When black wal
nut or rosewood furniture is used the
room should be as sunny as possible, as
these dark woods are great absorbers
of light. Pale blue, cool green shades
that harmonic so well with these
woods prevent the light from becoming
a glare and make the room pleasant
and agreeable to the senses A gloomy
north room, on the contrary, should be
furnished with white oak or enameled
furniture and ightened by the use OF
male yellow or couleur de rose in the
haneings and wallpaper. By the ex-
ercise of taste In these matters the
northern rooms may borrow q sunny
aspect. while the hard glare Of the sun
may be softened by the judicious ase of
cool eolors and furniture that absorbs
uart of the light-N Y. Tribune.

THE MOUND BUILDERS.
Recent Investigation Indicates That They
Were Red Men.

Recent Investigation Indicates That They
Were Red Men.
The Investigations which have been
carried on during the past five years
under the direction of the Smithsonian
institution into the origin of the artifi-
cial mounds found in the Mississippi
valley and other parts of the United
States have, it is believed, settled very
important question in archaeology.
It has been generally supposed that
the mound builders were a race of peo-
pie distinct from the Indians, and who
occupied this country in advance of the
tribes found here by the European dis
coverers and settlers.
But the Investigations to which we
have referred seem to show, beyond
doubt, that the mounds were the work
of the red men themselves, and that
their contents serve to throw light up
on the early history of the Indian tribes.
In regard to the study of American
archaeology Prof. Langley, the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian institution,
draws attention to the lamentable fact
that, owing to the expectation to Eu-
rope of the most important collections
of finds made in this country, stu
dents must go to the museums of En-
gland in orer thoroughly to master
what is known of the early history OF
the Mississippi valley; to those of Ger
many to stndy the past life of Alaska,
and to those of France for information
concerning the archaeology of Cali
fornia.-Yonth's Companion.
