PYTHIANS AT FRISCO.
The biennial Convention Formally
Opened-RepOrts on Condition
of the Order,

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The bien-
MEL convention of the Knights of
Pythias was formally opened Tues
day in the Palace hotel. Nearly $50
delegates were seated when Supreme
Chancellor Ogden H. Fethers raped
for order.
At the afternoon session reports
were read. Supreme Chancellor
Fethers, in his annual report, said
that on December 81, 1901, the order
had 54O,13S members.
The report of r. V. L. White, SUI
preme keeper of records and seal,
shows that the total number of subor-
dinate lodges December 81, 1901, was
1000, the net gain during the year be-
ing 142 lodges.
The report of Maj. Gen. James R.
Carnahan, commander of the uniform
rank, set forth that there are 85s COM
panies in good standing, organized
into 80 regiments and "a brigades.
There are in addition rs separate COM
panies, and warrants have been issued
for % more.
The report of the endowment rank
will show reduction of the indebted
ness from 100000 to $25O,00O. The
contested claims have been cut from
So to ten. The receipts of the rank
now aggregate $2,7oo,ooo per year.
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-It was a
busy day for the Knights of Pythias.
The chief event of the day was the
grand parade, which moved at three
p. m, and traversed the princi-
pal streets of the city. twenty-five
brigades of the uniform rank and
thousands of other knights were in
line.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Massachusetts. His career on the
bench, particularly as chief justice
of the Massachusetts supreme court,
has attracted wide attention. Like
Justice Gray, he is a native of Mas
sachusetts.
The resignation of Justice Gray
was due to i'll health. Several
months ago he suffered a stroke of
apoplexy, which some time later was
followed by another. He has not ap-
peared on the bench since he was
stricken the first time. His advanced
age-74 years-told against his re-
covery with serious force. Realiz-
ing that he probably never would be
able again to assume the place which
he SO long had filed with distin-
guished ability and honor, he de-
cided a short time ago to tender his
resignation to the president. With
the exception of Mr.. Justice Harlan,
he served on the bench of the Unit
ed States supreme court longer than
any of his present colleagues. He
was appointed an associate justice
by President Arthur on December 10,
1881, his service extending, there
fore, through period of nearly Fl
years.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is
son of the author, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, and has been justice of the
Massachusetts supreme court since
1882. He was born in Boston in 1871,
and was educated at the public schools
and Harvard college and Harvard law
school. Immediately after his gradu-
alton from Harvard he enlisted in the
Twelfth Massachusetts, regiment. and
was wounded at Antietam and again
at Fredericksburg, where he was mus
tered out as brevet lieutenant colonel.
He took up the law after the war
and, edited the twelfth edition of
'Kent's Commentaries" and for three
years was editor of the American Law
Review. He was for time one of the
law faculty at Harvard. He served as
associate justice of the supreme court
until 1899, when he was made chief JUS
tice.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 12.-Chief JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes was in
formed of his appointment to the
United States supreme bench at his
summer home in Beverly Farms, Mon
day night. He was asked if he would
accept, and he replied: "0h, yes; I
shall, no doubt, accept it," Further
than that he did not care to talk.

. Gen. Smith Very Ill

Portsmouth, O., Aug. 14.-Gen. Jacob
H. Smith is seriously i'll at the home
of his brother-in-law and attorney,
Judge James w. Bannon. His illness
was not considered serious until late
Wednesday afternoon, when physi-
clans were called in to attendance.
The generals illness is in the form of
nervous collapse, attributed to the
strain of his campaign in Samar, the
subsequent court-martial and then the
unexpected news of his retirement,
received on his landing at San Fran

The teacher was trying to help the

The boy did not know.
"Oh, yes, you do said the teacher,

have, three-quarters of an apple or

"Two-thirds," said the boy on a
