PYTHIAN KNIGHTS.
A Delightful Entertainment by Cap
itol Lodge Last Evening.

Capitol Lodge, No. 157, Knights of
Pythias, held an interesting session at
the castle hall last evening, at which
/ Chancellor Commander H. f. Fraley
presided. There was a good attendance,
and considerable important business
was transacted.
The report of the representatives just
returned from the Grand Lodge was
postponed for a week.
After the lodge meeting Elfs Frank
lin took the chair and stated that he
had been appointed master of ceremon-
| les for the occasion. The announcement
was greeted with applause, whereat Mr..
Franklin gracefully blushed his ac
acknowledgements.
The first number on the programme
was a vocal solo by a gentleman not
member of the order, who had kindly
consented to contribute to the pleasure
of the occasion.
Next in order came a recitation by
DR.. F. B. Sutliff. The doctor read u
beautiful poem on Cleopatra, which was
listened to with marked attention. A
preliminary historic sketch was given
that the audience might understand the
situation and environment of the char
acters.
Mr.. Franklin then told funny story
about a train leaving for Augusta, in
the State of Maine, which provoked an
encore
Nat Liebling gave a humorous reci-
tation containing several supposed in
terviews with ST. Peter by several peo-
pie who wished to enter the pearly
I gates
Then male quartet sang Il Stood on
the Bridge at Midnight" which re-
minded the knights of their youthful
pranks
Nat Liebling cracked a number of
jokes, which amused his hearers and
caused a great smile to illuminate the
classic features of the master of cere>
monies.
Another vocal solo, "Only Me-" was
rendered by a member of the quartet.
The Face on the Barroom Floor
was the subject of a pathetic recitation
by Mr.. Leibling, after which the afore
said quartet rendered a choice medley.

Fong Wen, the man who took a shot
at Chin We, the manager of the Chin
ese theater, is said to be one of the
most desperate highbinders on the
coast. A short time ago Chin We
placed the veteran officer, Nick Dole.
on the door, and the new doOrkeeper
refused Fong Wen and his gang ad-
mission without paying the regular fee.
Thereupon Fong Wen and his following
attacked Dole with stovewood and cob
bles, but scattered like sheep when
Dole brought his gun to bear on them
The highbinder gang evidently con-
cluded that Dole was a bad man, and
decided to take satisfaction out on the
unfortunate theatrical manager, Chin
We, with the result already stated.
The theatrical Mongolian says he saw
the bullet go ''plouff' in the dust sew
eral feet from him. He told his woes
to the officials, but as he had no wit
nesses to the affair no warrant was is
sued, and Fong Wen will be given an

MAY FESTIVAL.
The German Lutheran Congregation
Had a Pleasant Time.

One of the pleasantest outings of the
season was the May festival of the
pupils of the German Lutheran Sunday
School at East park yesterday.
The start was made from the church,
at Twelfth and K streets, shortly before
10 o'clock, and the street cars We're
utilized to carry the young folks to the
scene of their festivities. About three
hundred children visited the grounds,
and what with the romps, and the
games and the races and the bounte-
Gus lunch spread, there was nothing
lacking to fill their cup of enjoyment.
One of the features of the day was
the rendition of the cantata entitled
The Secret" in which the following
named persons took part: Mrs. Lottie
Schroeder, Misses Frances Bauer,
Emma Sachs, Lizzie Sachs, Tillie Lang
T. Albach, Lulu Lothhammer, Jessie
Wendt, Lena Zacharias, Mabel Mier;
organist Miss Sadie Beedy.
Prizes were hung up for races of all
descriptions, including small boys and
fat men, and the events were enjoyed
by all, and particularly by the winners.

DEFECTIVE COMPLAINTS.
liquor Men Arraigned Under an Or
dinance Repealed in 20.

WIN. Lobusan was arraigned in the
Police Court yesterday morning on
charge of selling liquor without first
having secured permission from the City
Trustees, taken out a license, and in
violation of Ordinance No. 2T6
Hiram w. Johnson, attorney for the
defendant, interposed demurrer on the
ground that the complaint specified two
charges-selling liquor without permis-
sion from the Board of Trustees, and
selling liquor without first having Sc
cured license. Mr. Johnson further
called attention to the fact that the or
dinance under which the complaint was
drawn had been repealed in June, 1896
and that the one now governing the case
is No. 430
City Attorney Brown consented that
the demurrer be sustained, which was
accordingly done by the court, and La
busan's case, together with that of ]. W.
keating, arrested under a similar
charge, was continued until June 10th.

COUNTERFEITS.
u. S. Court Checks the Distribu-

About 400 counterfeiters have been
making imitation Cereal Coffees and
working them off on buyers. They
generally use at least part OF the word
ing on the original and some take the
read seals of the genuine Postum Ce-
real Food Coffee. The L. S. Court has
lately enjoined GrainO and ordered
them to avoid further infringement.
Postum is the original palatable Ce-
real Coffee and is made of selected
parts of the Cereals which give the ele-
ments needed for the rebuilding of the
gray matter in the nerve cells. The
counterfeits are made of-well, Just
any old thing to look like Postum and
get peoples money. Does any one ex-
pect the maker of a counterfeit to care
how much food value he gives?
Buyers can get from two to five times
as many pounds Of counterfeit for the
same price as one pound Of the genuine

themselves as supreme sacrifices in that

not alone its liberties, but its very life,

brave defenders of the Union who sleep
in the city of the dead, and with affec-

who still linger among US, they who so
gladly responded to the country's call.

lieve that it is practicable to re-estab-

people, and of late years a number Of
Jewish agricultural colonies have been
established there. The new plan, in
which DR.. Herzl and DIR. Max Nordau
