Yesterday being the thirty-second
birthday of the order of knights OF
Pythias Pythfan Period B p, Web
ster Lodge No. 20 last evening, at
their hall, SO East Fifth street, gave
an anniversary entertainment (con-
sisting of music, instrumental and
vocal; speeches, talks, stereopt1con

open house to every Pythian in the
Twin Cities. About s p. m, when
Chancellor Commander Maybell,
acting as master of ceremonies,
called the assembly to order and be-
gan his address of welcome on be-
half of the members of webster
lodge, there were in attendance not
only members from all the lodges in
st. Paul and Minneapolis, but visit
ing brothers from several sections OF
the United States.
The master of ceremonies next called
on Past Chancellor Edward n. Haz-
card for a short anniversary ADDRESS.
He was enthusiastic in his praises of
the good the order had done within a
third of a century; and, in the future,
as in the past, the knights would, by
the practice of friendship, charity and
benevolence, strive for the betterment
of mankind. He closed his address by a
little historical and statistical data, as
follows:
'tustrs HenIy Rathbone, founder
of the order of Knights of Pythias,
when a young man, was so impressed
with the story of Damon and Pythias,
and the noble self-Sacrifice of Pyth-
las, that he determined to do all in his
power to induce men to follow an ex-
ample as pure, generous and holy The
result of his study of this character
was the ritual which has so taken
hold of the hearts of men that today
the growth of the order is without par
allel in the history of secret organiza-
tons; and in three decades, numbers
a half-million men in the United
States. The order is truly American,
having been founded in the city of
Washington, Feb 10, 1858; and, in con-
junction with the uniformed rank, is
the only secret society eXtant ever
officially recognized or given a legal
existence by the United States gov
eminent" The master of ceremonies
then presented Mr. Hazard with a
solid gold and silver past chancellor's
jewel.
Cigars were then passed around, and
as the company smoked fragrant Ha-
vanas they were treated to a lot of
appropriate, life-like and life-size stere-
opticon views appropriate to the story
of Damon and Pythias. These pictures
