The Pyfhian Party.

Oae or the largely attended ana
most social parties of the season was
that given by Raven lodge. X. of p,
at Castle Hall. in this city, last
Thursday evening. 1t would have
been impossible to serve "A more
sumptuous supper were the price
four times az great as that charged,
and the entertainment was highly
pleasing. Mrs. Heudra's recitation
on this occasion was. in the estima-
tion of IA Tribune representative, her
master effort, which means much,
for at no time is she other than first
class. Miss Catherine Hutchison's
recitation was deservedly applauded
with much vigor, and this young
lady may reasonably expect to be
called upon frequently for like occa-
sions in time to come. The Pvthian
quartette, consisting of Messrs.
Hughes, Lewis. Martin and Wicker
man, proved a charming feature, and
must be rated as second to no male
quartette in these parts, while tenor
50 os by Will Vickerman captured
the admiration of the large audience.
His melodious, well-trained voice is
a rare and rich possession IN the
Judgment of all musical critics. So
los by the Misses Annie Uren and
Sadie Jacobs We're received with
merited enthusiasm and cheer. The
interspersing of beautiful selections
by our popular city orchestra added
much to the pleasure of the event
The social glide" which followed
the entertainment was well in keep
ing with ali else, and everyone re-
tired at the conclusion happy,
happy, most happy.
Pythian knighthood had its con.
ception in the exemplification of the
life test of true friendship existing
between Damon and Pythias. Its
founder, Justis H. Rathbone, form
erly country school teacher in
Nor''lern Michigan, was at the time
of its origin clerk in the treasury
department at Washington.
The first lodge was organized at
Washington, ID. c., on Feb. 10, 1864,
or forty years ago tomorrow. From
this small beginning it has branched
out until there are now fiftyfour
grand lodges in the states, territories
and provinces of United States and
Canada, in addition to scattering
subordinate lodges in the province
of Quebec, Alaska, Cuba, Mexico,
the Hawaiian islands and the Philip
pines.
There are over 1000 lodges with
membership on July |, of slightly
over $4,000. The roster of member
ship from January to July past was
increased by over $4,000.
The order was launched in Wis
consin on Sept. 8, 1870, by the institu
ton of Milwaukee lodge No. |, and
the grand lodge of Wisconsin was or
ganized on April 6, 1871.
Wisconsin now has III lodges, with
membership of about $3.50.
In addition to the lodges proper is
the military branch or uniform rank
with over $4,000 members, there be-
ing 230 new and recognized compan-
les added to the roster within the
last two years.
The endowment rank is the insur-
ance branch of the order, and its
| membershipnumbers over $4,000, car
rying $l3O 100000 insurance. This de-
partment has paid out to the widow
and orphan of deceased members

STOESSEL'S HEAD The Japanese Ask His Soldiers to
 Surrender.

Chefoo, Nov 8.-The Japanese be-
 sieging Port Arthur ignoring Lieuten-
 ant General StOessel, the commander
 of the Russian military forces there
 have offered terms of surrender to the
 Russian soldiers according to advices
 leaving Port Dalny yesterday, in the
 meanwhile the ceaSeless activity of
 picks and spades continue. The Jap anese are gradually invading their trer ches and which spell ineXOrablc fate to the watching Russians.
 A Russian prisoner captured on Oct. 26th, said the troops composing the garrison of Port Arthur were in want and dispirited; they saw the fruitess- ness of the struggle, and hopeless of relief, with food scarce and medicine and hospital supplies insufficient it Was admitted by the Russians that Japan l ese victory was ultimately inevitable The soldiers according to the prisoner see no reason to proIOng resistance,
 which brings glory to their officers, but chiefly hardship and death to them. Upon hearing the prisoners story l GeneIpl Nogi assembled his staff and discussed the matter Briefly and then under the light of a bicycle lamp draft ed letter to be circulated among the soldiers themselves, the prisoner having
 promised to deliver it in mercy to his comrades. The lettOr rela--sd to Gener- al KUrOpatkin's retreats and his in ability to make am impression on the army of Field Marshal Oyama to say nothing of breaking through his forces. and relieving Port Arthur. The letter also pointed out that the second Rus l sian Pacific squadron has just started on it's slow voyage continuing italrdlu
 on it's slow voyage. Continuing it call ed attention to the resistless advance of the Japanese who would walk into the main Russian strong gholds. In con clusion the letter offered humane treat ment 10 all who surrendered saying ! that it was in the interest Of humanity
 to prevent further useless slaughter. | h darkness of the early morning of | Nov. i, several copies of the letter written in Russian were given to the
 prisoner, who regatned the Russian l lines unobserved by his officers and | that night tie Russian returned saying l his comrades would answer within a | few days. He said the temper of tn. men seemed to show that while they were mUunOus towards fate they also 1 did not like the idea of an unofficial
 surrender. The letter did much how
 ever, to dispel among the Russian troops the impression fostered by their officers that a massacre would follow ! Japanese victory. The company to
 which the prisoner belonged originally numbered ScO and now the total ts i thirty men.
 1 As the Japanese arc sufficiently near
 summits of the hills to render tunnel
 Ing highly practicable much of this
 work is now being done. The Russians 1 are building counter tunnels, which 1 tunnel under the enemy's and blow up l the iatter's tunnels. To prevent axnlo- sives being rolled down into tba,r l trenches the Japanese have made

BLOOOSHED IN COLORADO
One Killed, One Fatally Wounded at
 GoIdfeId Election.

Cripple Creek, Col, Nov. S.-Three men were shot Tn this district today as the result of election CuarTels; one Of them is dead and another fatally wounded and the third seriously in jured. The dead man is Christopher Miller, former alderman of Goldfeld, and deputy sheriff under Sheriff Rob ertson prior to that officers forced res ignation after the Independence eXpIO- sion and the Victor riot. He was shot while sitting on a fence in front of the GCldheld polling booth.
 Isaac LebOe, a friend of Miller, who was also sitting on the fence, was shot in the shoulder. He may die at any minute. Lcboe claims that James War ford shot him. Miller, just before he died, said Thomas BTowl fired the bui- let which entered his body. Some spec tators say Warford fl ed both shots. Brown and Warford are deputy she-- ifs.
 They ordered Miller and Leboe, who had been appointed election constablcs, to move on and remain outside the ten foot limit Miller refused to ooey the order and, it is said, made as if to draw a revolver. It is also claimed that Leboe started to draw a revolver before he was shot, Miller and Leboe were members of the Western Fedora ton of Miners. Nliuer was deported, but recently returned to the district. Edward Doyle, a republican deputy, was shot in the groin by Constable OLoary after he had assaulted Mrs. Kennedy, a democratic iu Ige of cleo ton, and attempted to shoot the con- stable who interfered.

MADAME, HOW COULD YoU!

Speaking of the Congress of Mothers the other day Mrs. A. k. Ramsey, who, as chief probation officer of the jul veuile court, has had much experience with yoc.afUl offenders, rather startled her hearers by her somewhat severe remarks on boyish honesty. T have discovered" she said, that there is no man living, no n--ter how honest he may be in his mature years, who was not guilty of stealing in his Coyhood. I've asked each male member of my own family whether he ever did any stealing when boy, and the answer has invariably and frankly been in the affirmative. Even my own son shocked me by telling me that on @, when he was little boy, he stole all the saIted almonds had prepared to serve at a luncheon. I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as an honest boy. Philadelphia Record.

RUSSIA CANNOT ATTEND

 The note. it is understood. takes pains to avoid the appearance of de- slrlng to wound the susceptibility of Russia, the action of the United States having been prompted by the initiative of the St. Louis peace copfer- ence- No response has yet been made. put there IS strong reason to believe that although Russia cannot show of tense to the proposition from the United States at this time, inasmuch as the United States was actually at war with Spain when Emperor Nfch- olas proposed the original conference. Russia will decline to participate as long as the war lasts.
 At the foreign office the opinion has been that conference after the war would be profitable, enabling the DOW CTS to agree upon many VeXed prob lems. but that it is impossible for Rus sia to participate during the war in a conference whose tendencies will be to limit the activity of the beuigerents and in which questions with a bearing upon the present struggle are sure ta come up for discussion. 4 local paper prints letter reviewing the voyage ot the second Pacific squadron, in which the statement is made that three tor pedo boats, seemingly on hostile fn- tent, were seen off the Spanish coast during the night of October %.
