PYTHIANS AND ODD
FELLOWS SERVICES.
Tive Orders VIII Hold Memorial
Services in Short Time.

Tive Orders VIII Hold Memorial
Services in Short Time.
Two of the large secret orders of Sa-
vannah have begun preparations for
memorial services in memory of those
members of the order who have died
within the last few years. They are
the Odd Fellows and the knights of
Pythias. No definite steps have as yet
been taken by either. but the services
are being discussed by the members of
the different lodges OF the two orders
The Odd Fellow memorial service will
he held about the middle of April in
the Temple Hall, or at the theater. The
services are very elaborate in their
nature and the ritualistic part of the
ceremony Is one of the most beautiful
of any Of the secret orders. Definite
steps will be taken within a compare
lively short time. and committees
named from the different lodges to ar
range the details of the programme.
The memorial service of the Knights
of Pythias is being considered, and it
is probable that each lodge will be
asked to take some action on the mat
ter as soon as the installation ceremo-
MES have been completed. The Pythi-
ians have held no memorial service in
some time. and several prominent
members Of the order have died during
the last few years.
When the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers held their memorial serv-
ices in Trinity Church the matter Of
a Pythian memo tal was taken up and
discussed. The rush Of business in
cidental to the closing of the year S
work, however, so occupied the time of
the different lodges that no active steps
were taken in the matter. Since that
time, however. officers have been
elected, the majority of them installed,
and the reports of the years work
have been nearly completed and filed
with the grand keeper of records and
seals. This leaves the lodges practi-
cally free to begin work on memorial
programme.
The recent memorial service of the
EIks has again attracted the attention

consider this electric signal system a
great help to police departments, and
hope before the close of the present

in Savannah.

POOR PASSENGER EQUIPMENT.

AS showing the Inconvenience of
travel out of Waycross on certain con-
nections a prominent Bay street man
stated yesterday that last week he
made trip to Live Oak, Fla, leav-
ing Savannah on Atlantic Coast Line
train No. SO. He was forced to change
cars at Waycross and the only pas
senger equipment offered was one COM
bination car with the front part filled
with negroes. The rear portion, which
was intended for white passengers,
had no heat, and in addition was very
dirty, he said. The conductor of the
train promised another car when Du-
pont should be reached, but when the
second car was secured it was neces-
sary that it be cleaned out before it
was fit for occupancy.
