WATERFOWL KNIGHTS CELEBRATE NO.
LIS ANNIVERSARY.
Columbia lodge, No II, K.of p, eele-
braGed It's seventh anniversary last
Thursday evening. As early as O'Clock
visitors began TO arrive from Waterbury
and surrounding towns, and by 40 the
time appointed for the celebration to
open, a large crowd had gathered In the
corridors and smoking room TO wait
patiently until the regular routine OF the
lodge work was over. It was nearly
40 when the exercises OF the celebration
commenced. Chancellor Commander Ira
G. Ho5chkiss, Ia neat little speech.
made the address of welcome. As the
committee who had charge OF the cele-
bration arrangements had kept myster-
ious silence about what they intended to
do, or not to do, little or nothing could be
learned, but everybody expected from
their continued silence something extra
ordinary. gramophone shouted out
one OF those laughable farcical songs
which are about as common as mud In the
center OF WatertoWn's streets. The next
number, which was OF much interest and
was treat to the audience, was num-
Der OF stereopticon views, followed by
vocal and instrumental music by Mrs T.
N. Barton and Mr. Weis, vocalists, and
Miss Mae Wilder pianist. As the hour
was approaching towards IL o'clock, the
ladies were asked TO proceed to the BAN
Quet loom, where fine spread was wait
ing. Every seat was occupied, and as
fast as one party had finished others were
ready to take their place. Many were
obliged TO leave on the IL o'clock train,
but in spite OF that, the crowd at the hall
seemed go be about as large as before.
After the banquet Senator b. H. Mattoon
of1n siufn of (nlvrrn afa InH0o
and the Pythian home, which latter idea,
he said, originated and was first advO-
Gated by DIR John j. Galley, 8 member OF
Columbia lodge, and now practicing
physician in Waterbury. LIN the name OF
Columbia lodge he presented DR. Galley
with a handsome medicine chest. As DIR
Galley stepped before the audience he
was loudly cheered. He replied to the
toast, fraternity in an able manner,
and thanked the lodge most heartily for
the handsome present, saying he SHOULD
ever hold it in high esteem, ana he could
assure them when worn out by hard use
it should never be thrown among the rub
bish in the garrett. Senator Nation
hoped that not only this one, but many
others would become worn out by the in
creasinQ practice of DIR Galley. John
Evans then took the rostrum and gave
an calculation of Pythianism, which, he
said, was the grandest order this world
had ever seen, and he challenged anyone
TO name something grander. If there
ever was or will be a member OF Pythian-
ism that will shout it's encomium persist
entity and effusiveIy, that man is Knight
Evans, who neglects no opportunity to
give vent to his feeling, and thoughts,
which are ever foremost in his knightly
heart. 1t was at late hour when the
