the Supreme Lodge grew weary OF the en-
tire thing and resolved to hold no further
communication with the ladies In an Of
hcial capacity.
Later. a rule was adopted that no knights
Of Pythias could consistently hold men,
bership in the Sisters. This added soft
coal and benzine to the fires Of confusion.
effort will be made to SO modify the order
Of the supreme chancellor as to permit
Knights of Pythias to remain as such In
the Pythian Sisters. This effort will likely
prove successful. Then an effort will be
made to have the ladies formally recognized

Some Other Questions.
Some Of the minor questions to be dis
cussed are the failure of 8. J. Wiley, su-
preme master Of the exchequer; the subject
Of bonded officers: the Pythian Life Asso-
citation of Omaha; the revision of the official
digest; permanent rank word for grand
lodge rank; the proper marking of the
grave of the founder at Forest Hill Gene
terry at Utica. NY; and the term OF Of
fee Of the major general Uniform Rank.
One of the matters Of import will be the
discussion of the saloon question. num-
Der of years ago the Supreme Lodge granted
to the grand lodges the right to legislate
| for themselves on the matter of admission
to the order of saloonkeepers and bartend-
ers. 1t was maintained that the admission
Of these men had a tendency to encourage
immortality and to bring the order of
| knighthood into disrepute. A number Of
the grand lodges have decreed that saloon
keepers, bartenders and professional gam
pliers are ineligible to membership.
