KNIGHTS OF pyTHIAS.

The members OF Elmwood lodge and,
I'm fact, the members at large, have
every reason 10 feel proud OF the de-
monstration made by the lodge Wed
nesday evening. for IL is safe TO say
that more fashionable or appreciative
audiences have not In many years at
tended the ceremony OF an installation
than the one seen in the handsome hail
OF Elmwood lodge Wednesday evening.
Not only was the audience a select one
but the program was what might b..
termed gem for such artists as Henri
II. Faucher, the well known Violinist,
assisted by his equally talented wife:
Miss Ella NJ Carpenter, AN exceedingly
sweet singer ana Dan TOurjee ana fam
ily, all OF whom are artists in their par
ticular lines, were included in the pro-
gram. Other pleasing features Of the
exercises Of the evening were the ad-
dresses made by Past Chancellor Reu-
bin ;. Betlis, who, on behalf of the
lodge presented the Misses Grace and

was enjoyed until nearly midnight.
There was a slight fire I'm the new
building owned by Elmwood lodge
sunday afternoon. Some OF the mem
bers who had charge OF the installation
ceremonies We're I'm the lower hall for a
short time and FOR some purpose went
10 the upper han. and upon their re-
turn to the lower hall found the heavy
draperies over one OF the windows
aiire and IL was not eXtingushed with
out considerable difficulty. one Of the
members being quite badly burned
about the hands i'm his efforts TO sub
due the flames. How the fire caught
is mystery. and the only solution Is
that some one must have left an un-
lighted match upon the radiator and
this was ignited after the steam had
been let on. few moments delay in
discovering the fire would have made
the consequences very serious
Damon Lodge celebrated its 29th an
