PYTHIAN ENCAMrMENT FROM MONUMENT.
Grand Army Cncampmcnt, in providing fol
which this city nStOniShcd the country.
And now Masons, Odd Fellows and Kni ghts
of all kinds arc looking this way. Despite
the amount that has been written thereon,
few people realize the many advantages OF
trip to Washington over that to any
other city. OF course all the world knows
about the capitol, the White House, the
monument, the public buildings and the
historic forts but in addition there is here
n free endowment for public education IL
the form of museums, Smithsonian, patent
office, and the like, which is greater than
that of any other educational center in the
country, and its value has been estimated
by Major j. w. Powell at 1872, 600, 900.
Mecca For Great Throng.
All these facts and many moro combine
to add interest to the great cncumpmcnt OF
the knights of Pythias, which is to begin
here on Aug. 81, to continue week OF
more and to be the graldCst affair of its
kind in tho history of the country. 1fany
man questions this. let him consider these
facts The local committee has already laid
out the camp in the beautiful grounds
around the Washington monument and Sc
cured tents for 20, 900 uniformed Knights;
the committee on comfort has registered
accommodations for $50, 600 people and will
make it $50, 600 before the date arrives;

trcme simplicity of outline prevents the
visitor from realizing this at nrst, but
when the encampcd knights have looked
