Admiral Schley Cordially Greeted Last
Night-Knights of Pythias
and Red Men.


guest of honor at the Masonic fair last
evening. The big crowd that attended the
fair attested its appreciation of the naval
warrior. Throughout the evening, wherever
he went, he was cheered. The admiral was
accompanied by Mrs. Schley, and they pat
ronized all the booths and places Of amuse-
ment. The admiral is a member of WASH
ington Centennial Lodge, No. IA, and be-
cause of this he naturally partial TO
the booth conducted by that lodge. While
last evening had been placed on the Official
program as dedicated to the Red Men and
knights of Pythias, it was veritably a
Schley night. Everybody was glad to see
the man who participated SO galantly in
the bathtle at Santiago.
The Red Men who visited the fair were
dressed in the primitive garb of the abo-
rigne. With ,ommyhawks in hand they
mingled in the crowd and attracted more
than ordinary interest.
Welcome and Response.
Both bodies of Red Men and Pythian
Knights were met at the doors of Conven-
tion Hall by Past. Grand Master Matthew
Trimble and were escorted about the hall.
Mr.. Trimble welcomed the visitors in
brief speech.
Gentlemen of the Knights of Pythias,"
Mr.. Trimble said, Il think l can say with
propriety to the members of your order,
Brethren because we are all interested
in one common cause of fraternity.
1T is unfortunate that the distinguished
brother who was specially selected to well
come you here this evening is unavoldabiy
absent, on account of sickness, for if pres
ent he Woald have given you an eloquent
and hearty welcome
Il deem it, however, an especial honor
to have been selected even as an emer-
gency substitute at this last hour.
Npix i1.Cy RI a
a member of your organization, but from
the character of the men associated with
it and your splendid representation here
tonight, | recognize them as representa-
tive citizens of the most beautiful city or
the greatest country in the world, and 1t
gives great pleasure to welcome you
as cola aborers in this noble and glorious en-
terprise of erecting structure which, 1t
is hoped, will be an ornament and a credit
to our national capital.
We welcome you among us as friends
and coworkers in a common cause.
Mr.. W. H. G. Simmons responded.
Il desire to thank you for your cordial
greeting and to state that we Will try to
warrant our welcome and to contribute our
mite toward the noble cause for which you
are all working. 1t gives US great pleas
ure to be here and to join with you in the
festivities of the evening"
