The Knights of Pythias of Sacrament
to were favored yesterday by a brief
visit from the Supreme Chancellor Of
the World, Hon. Philip S. Colgrove of
Michigan, and his wife, who are max
ing a trip through the Golden State as
a part of their wedding tour. The
party were accompanied by Grand
Keeper of Records and Seal H. Schaff-
ner of San Francisco, and arrived in
the city this morning.
An informal reception was held at
Castle Hall between II and / o'clock
yesterday, at which time and place
many members of the local lodges
We're presented to the chief executive
officer of the order
There was great disappointment
among the Pythians of Sacramento that
the Supreme Chancellor could not
spend an evening here so as to give
the members the benefit of his elo-
quence and stir up enthusiasm in be-
half of the order.
The opinion is very generally enter
tanned that the committee appointed
by the Grand Lodge to arrange visits
for the Supreme Chancellor in Califor-
MIA, in order to crafty personal spite
against one or two local knights de-
liberately administered a studied in
suit to the Capital City by refusing to
make date for this place, but instead
providing for a speech from the Su-
preme Chancellor at the town of Au-
burn, where he delivered an address
last night The Supreme Chancellor is
not blamed for the arrangement. and
no fault is found with the brothers at
Auburn but the language that finds
expression in regard to the manager of
dates and places is more expressive
than elegant
On Monday last a committee consist
ing of Past Grand Representative
Marks Hirsch of Sacramento Lodge.
No. IL. District Deputy Grand Chan
cellor Columbus S. Van Roy of Conf
dence Lodge, No. 7S, and Colonel Will
liam j. Hogan of Columbia Lodge No.
~, went to San Francisco, where they
met the Supreme Chancellor for the
purpose of inviting him to meet the
members of the Capital City lodges in
the evening.
Mr.. Colgrove regretted exceedingly
that matters had been so arranged for
him as to pass by Sacramento with it's
500 Knights of Pythias, and would will
ingly have arranged a meeting for
sacramento, but the consent Of the
Auburnites could not be obtained.
Upon the conclusion of the reception
yesterday the Supreme Chancellor and
his party with a number of ladies were
driven about the city under the direc-
ton of committee consisting of Col
oneI w. j. Hogan Past District Denl1tv
Chris. Wilke and Deputy Grand Chan
cellor Columbus S.. Van Roy. They
visited the Capitol and were shown all
the points of interest possible in a
brief space of time in the Governors
office, the Treasurer's apartments. the
Attorney Generals rooms, the State
Library, the Supreme Court rooms and
the legislative chambers.
The Supreme Chancellor and his wife
were greatly impressed with the cour-
tesy ofFthe State officials and with the
beauty of the Capitol and its surround
ings. They left on the 4 40 train for
Auburn to fill the appointment there
last evening.
