Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-10-28

NOTES.

The new company OF the Uniform
Rank Knights of Pythias, of which
mention has been made before, is now
rapidly on the way to organization,
and will probably have a meeting in
the near future to elect it's officers and
complete necessary arrangements for
being mustered in and uniformed. The
Uniform Rank being higher branch
of Pythianism, 1t is certainly to the
interest of all members of the order
TO become members of that body and
the lively interest manifested by the
Pythinns of Norfolk in the new COM
pany shows that they have the true
Pythian principles and intend to up
hold them. The next session of the
Supreme Lodge is to be held in san
Francisco, California, and the new
company is to be, present at that SEES
sion; and as they will go with all ex-
penses paid, 1t would be we'll for the
younger members of the order to try
and secure membership in the COM
pany. All information In regard to
membership can be secured from Col.
Geo. w. Battley, of the First Virginia
Regiment. U. r. X. p, or any men,
Der of the Uniform Rank.

Mr.. Harry Kemp, Deputy Grand Re-
gent of the Royal Arcanum for Vir-
ginia, arrived in Norfolk Thursday
after an absence from the city OF eight
months. During this period Mr. Kemp
has been hard at work for this order
In southwest Virginia, where he met
with phenomenal success and laid the
foundations for very large increase
In Royal Arcanum membership. On
Thursday night he was present at the
meeting of Pocahontas Council. and
the members were delighted to see him
back again. He has again began ac-
tive work and secured several appli-
cations. AS he proposes to work in
this section during the winter months,
we can state with great confidence
that Royal Arcanum circles will show
heavy increase in membership before
the robins nest again. At Councils
meeting Thursday night, Mr.. Kemp
was given rousing reception and call
ed on for n speech. He responded in
his usual happy manner, and was then
compelled to sing three popular songs
In his own inimitable style. After the
Council was closed Miss Blanche Hardy
Hecht and Mr.. Moe Levy entertained
the members for some time. Miss
Hecht, who is one OF the finest ANA
| teur elocutionistS in Norfolk, rendered
several selections in a most pleasing
| manner. Mr.. Levy also favored the
| company with several well-rendered
| selections. Miss Hecht and Mr.. Levy
| also gave a one-act comedy that was
| received with great applause.
