RYTHlANS HAD FUN
EnI srtained Large Company Of Friends in
Lodge Room Last Evening

Members of Washington Lodge, No.
/, Knights of Pythfas, and a large
number of invited guests spent a de-
lightful hour in X. of p Hall last
evening. The occasion was the annual
reception Of the lodge, and it was pre-
sided over by George Carter, chairman
of the Committee on Entertainment.
who introduced Henry G. Conrad as
the speaker of the evening. He out
lined the objects of the Knights Of
Pythias, and referred in particular to
the work of Washington Lodge, which
is creditable in every respect. The talk
was exceedingly interesting.
Following Mr.. COnrad's address a
season of amusement was entered into,
the most amusing feature of which was
a pie-eating contest between James
Windish and kid" Johnson, cOlored
boys. Windish carried off the honOrs
and 81 bill as a prize. Following this
the boys contested for half dollar,
which coin was place in a pan of flour,
For five minutes the boys were envel-
oped in a white cloud and when it dis
appeared Windish displayed the money
between his teeth.
Two peach baskets filled with pea
nuts were passed among the crowd, and
three of the shells contained dollar
note each. The winners were scattered
about the room and their names could
not be learned. Other prize winners
were: Ellis Cobb, silver tray; MolMe
Wayne, a silver watch; Alfred Murphy,
silk umbrella, and the BOBBY prize
was won by a man who refused to di-
vulge his name. Margie Simmons
found a solid gold ring in her mouth
when she started to eat ice cream, and
Ethel Wilhelm obtained another ring.
Following the fun, a program of
musical, vocal and literary selections
was presented 1t was: Piano solos.
Miss Bertha Everett; recitation. "Pyra-
mus and Thisbe." Miss Wagner; vocal
solo, j. A. Booker; recitation, Anna

HANDSOME LITTLE BOY
VICTIM OF GHRISTIANA

Seven-year-old j. Milton Kelley. son
of Alfred Kelley, Of No. 223 Connell

yesterday afternoon from Orange street

lost his balance and fell into the water
The children who saw him fall gave

His body was recovered by the Police

fore pressure is being brought to bear
to force the Regulars into a compro-
mise. Persons who know the situation

The last Republican National Conven-

out the water should be done Immediate

turc of at least s25,OOO Messrs. Willis
and Elliott thought It should be done by

to take and Mr.. Janvler read n resolution
instructing Mr. Armstrong to receive bids
and award the contract to the loves bid
der Messrs. Willis and Elliott opposed
the adoption OF the resolution, and Offer
ed an amendment by which the bids
would be returned TO the court and the
body award the contract. The amend
ment failed of passage. The resolution
authorizing Mr. Armstrong to receive the
bids was then declared adopted before a
vote was taken on It.
County finances being low, the court
passed only the April payroll and small
