MGS51YGd51 Tuesday night was
NGh .h0 Va success in every
\%SEEcSN 4 detail. Fully one
XSNH hundred and fifty
Za& ladies and gentle
men sat down TO the most elaborate
menu ever spread in this city. The
large dining hall proved to be entirely
too small for the company assembled,
but IL was a surprise in the way Of
decorations. The walls and all avail
able space we're profusely hung with
trlangles and other emblems Of the
order The feast began at eleven and
continued till two. Everybody de-
clared this TO be the greatest social
event in the history Of the town; IL
was an inspiration to everyone pres
ent, and was simply irresistible.
And in this connection too much
credit cannot be accorded the man
agement Of the hotel for their efforts
in behalf Of the pleasure Of their
guests. For ten days they have been
at work day and night, and every
guest, as well as the knights, will
bear witness TO the assertion that
nothing was left undone. An es-
pecial word OF commendation is due
Muck Berry, on whom much Of the
responsibility fell in the absence OF
his brother. And on the same line,
we should he neglectful II the labors
of Mrs. Berry and a corps OF lady vol
unteer assistants were overlooked.
The evening was whiled away with
fcasting and toasts, with music and
gladness on every hand; everyone
seemed to be at their very best.
Pythlanism for ONCE wore the fan
tastic colors Of Roman emblems, and
memory swung back more than tive
thousand years, and borrowed page
from far Off Roman history, and wovC
It Into a magic maze Of truth. The
beautiful legend OF Damon and Pythia'
and the Syracuslan tyrant, was re.
called with realistic vlyldness. The
love q mankind In It's noblest phas,
found an echo in the truth OF Pyth
lanhood and brought TO the surface
the kindiest emotions that swell
the human breast.
Frienship is the magic word around
which the triangle Of Pythianism Il
builded, and the end TO be attained !:
human happiness. Glorious word
IL concentrates in its vast extent the
love OF man and the worship Of God
No space can bind 1t, no length car
measure it, and God alone can com
pute IL. 1t makes man think o.
heaven, and binds his steps to al
eternal home where the chief corne
stones blend together and make thu
mystic three the guarding beacons O
an eternity Of uninterrupted Joy.
