THE PYTHIANs.-The Supreme Lodge
Knights of Pythias held three hours
session in Washington on Saturday
evening, most OF which was occupied in
considering the new constitution pre-
pared by special commission appoint
ed for that purpose. The document
seemed to meet the approval of every
body familiar with its provisions. The
committee appointed to consider the
subject of the expulsion Of the liquor
dealers and the suppression of the Ger
man ritual will, it is understood, report
favorably ON both the propositions,
though it is not so certain that the SUI
preme Lodge will adopt their reports
without reserve. Should the German
ritual be suppressed there are threats
that some of the German lodges will
secede from the order.
