OF PYTHlAS Jubilee
FORTIETH Anniversary FEB.I9
History of the Founding of the Order Together
With Record of Its Marvellous
Growth

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. IL
Preparations have been made through
ont the country for the celebration this
week of the fortieth anniversary of the
founding OF the order OF the Knights
Of Pythias, the largest fraternal ard
benevolent organization having n
purely American membership. 1t was
on February 10. 1864. that five men met
in Marini's hall I'm this city and took
the initial steps toward the Foundation
of the order. The five men were Justus
Henry Rathbone, who conceived the
idea. Robert a. Champion, DR.. f. S.
Kimball, David L. Burnett and William
H. Burnett Messrs. Kimball and D. l..
Burnett are still living and are active
members of the fraternity
Justus Henry Rathbone is famous as
the actual founder of the order and
the person TO whose dramatic inspira-
tion is due the most beautiful features
of the Pythian ritual. He submitted
the first draft of the ritual based on
the story of Damon and Pythias to
members of the old Arion club a musi-
cal organization which existed in
Washington in the later years of the
civil war. From this small beginning
sprang Washington lodge, No. l. X. of
r. afterward merged in Franklin lodge,
No. 2, which is still in evidence. This
latter lodge is the fruitful mother of
nine thousand Pythian lodges now
hourishing in fifty-four grand domains,
and carrying upon their rosters an ag-
gregate of nearly six hundred thou
sand members. There are also about
fifty thousand of the knights who be-
long to the uniformed or military
branch of the order, which is known as
the Army of the Lily"

It has long been supposed and gem
e"aliy believed in this fraternity that
the idea of great society based nm
the immortal story of the friendship of
Damon and Pythias first came IN Mr.
Rathbone while he was teaching school
at the copper town of Eagle harbor ON
the Keewenaw peninsula, Lake Suner-
ior, in 1861. Later Mr. Rathbone re-
moved to Washington and became a
clerk in the surgeon generals Office. He
was vocalist and ritualist of note and
his skill was displayed in many wavs.
but in none more notably than in his
first draft of the Pythian ritual, which
Is recognized as remarkably beautiful
and effective. Mr.. Rathbone died at
Lima, Ohio in the residence of Past
Supreme Chancellor Walter 3. Richia
about thirteen years ago
According to Pythian history the rit
ual was read and the first steps toward
organization were taken just forty
years ago tonight, when Mr.. Rathbone
and his friends met at the room of
Robert A. Champion, the occasion be-
ing rehearsal of the Arion club. Lat
er in the same week another meeting
was held and the preliminary organIza-
ton completed. The supreme lodge
was organized in 1858 and Incorporated
by congress June 30. 1894 Once
founded the fraternity grew marvel
ously, and today while one
youngest OF such orders il is o..s OF
the largest and most fiourishing from
every viewpoint. In addition to the
grand lodges in every state and terri
tory of the United States the order has
jurisdictions in British Columbia, the
Maritime Provinces, Manitoba. Ontario,
Hawaii, Alaska and Cuba.

the presidential party were the justices
and representatives. There was but one
vacant seat, that formerly occupied by
Hanna. 1t was draped in black and
filled with Gala lilies and offered a
strange contrast TO the black garbed
men on the floor.
Chaplain Hale arose and in the in
tense silence that followed an impress

eyes closed with resonant voice he

Hale eulogized the qualities OF friend
ship broad -mindedness and simplicity.
Couden prayed and briefly eulogized
the dead.
The Gridiron quartet sang and Frye
then announced that the remains would
now be given over to the charge of the
committees to be conveyed to Cleve-

of Hanna's family withdrew and were

The influence of climatic conji-

do mnch better at home by proper
attention to food digestion, and a reg
ular use of German Syrup. Free ex-

certain by German Syrup, so is a

stopped by taking German Syrup lib
orally and regularly. Should you be
