KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

The Pythian Grand Lodge will convene
902 Pennsylvania northwest The first
evening will be devoted to the receiving
of reports and comforting the Grand Lodge
rank on all mast chancellors. The sub
ordinate lodges should have their mem
! bers who are entitled to this rank pres
ent on the first evening. On the evening
following the election of grand officers
for the ensuing term will be held, fol-
lowed by new business. which Will oc-
cupy the balance OF the time
The past Pythian period has been a
| most successful one. The order stands
on a better financial basis, and every
lodge in the domain is free of debt. In
numerical gain the showing is very graf
flying. The total Pythian membership in
1900 was 1882, while The reports ending
December 81. 1901. indicate a member
ship of 1,il9, ret gain of eighty-seven
during the year. Good, active. energetic
work is plainly manifest throughout the
Pythian domain. and it is fair to pre-
sumo that the coming year will outstrip
this record.
The Pythian Grand Lodge will this
year contain ninety-ffve representatives
having increased in size from seventy
hVe IN four years. II is a noteworthy
tact that an unusually large number of
