X. OF p. Memorial Service.

The Knights OF Pythas held memorial
services in their castle hall on Wednes-
day evening, the first anniversary of the
sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor.
The program was an appropriate one for
the occasion, and was listened to by The
members of the fraternity and their fami-
lies. The hall was beautifully decorated
with the national colors and festoons of
bunting in the emblematic colors OF the
order. The address of Rev. II. NJ. Bart
lett was an eloquent one, and told of the
reasons why, from a Christian stand
point, we should remember the Maine,"
