of Pythias, of Cincinnati which was to
have visited this city and give a concert
this evening at the Grand Opera House,

explains itself:
I'VE cannot possibly express our profound
regret and disappointment in being unable
to have the famous Lincoln team, K. of p,
in Washington on Monday night and in
Baltimore on Tuesday night, as agreed.
AT least one-third of said team are sick
with la grippe. We have over 5000 cases
in Cincinnati today affected. Please
postpone our coming to Washington until
March 9, and Baltimore, March T. We
will then complete our intended eastern
trip, to New York and Philadelphia. Since
sickness alone prevents our coming, We are
satisfied that this is for the best interest
of the order. AS January is installation
month, and many of the brothers are with
out the admission password, this may be
best. We desire to thank the fraternity of
Washington and Baltimore for the interest
they have taken, and trust this postpone
ment will prove beneficial to the teams
coming, and that 1t may help the order
generally
Grand Chancellor Yost has issued the fol-
lowing card to the knights of Pythias in
Washington:
I'VE are sorry, indeed, that the Lincoln
team, on account of sickness, cannot be
with US tonight We are pleased to know
that arrangements have been made with
the management of the Grand Opera House
for March 6, and as January is the install
lation month, we are of the opinion that
the postponement Is beneficial. To the end
that the teams coming may be thoroughly
successful, We trust that the subordina tie
lodge committees will meet us Thursday
night, January II, at the grand lodge office,
mat we may formulate committee work"
