ANNIVERSARY OF PYTHIANISM
Special Dispatcn to Evening Capital

Washington. ID. @. Feb 49, 8-Tomor-
row the order of the Knights of Pytn.
las rounds out its fortieth year and
members of the order throughout the
land are preparing to celebrate the
anniversary in an appropriate manner.
They believe they have good cause for
jubilation in the rapid growth and
fiourishing condition of the order.
Since it was founded by Justine H.
Rathbone in this city four decades
ago the fraternity has spread to every
state and territory of the Union-to
Alaska, Cuba, the Hawaiian Islands
and several of the Canadin provinces.
The Uniform Rank and the Rathbone
Sisters, the woman's auxiliary. have
likweise enjoyed marvellous growth.
The present supreme chancellor is
Charles +. Shiveley. of Indiana, who
will hold Office until the next bi en-
nial encampmeDt. which is to be held
at New Orleans in September, 1906.

THE FIREMEN ARE OPPOSED.
THEY WANT NO PAID CITY
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Volunteer Firemen Will Hold a
Meeting to Take Action
Against Williams
Ordinance.

Members of the three CITY comma.
nies OF volunteer firemen are up in arms
over the proposed legislation ON the
part OF Councilman Williams TO have
paid fire department There is every
reason 20 believe that most bitter
Tight will be waged to prevent the pas.
sage of any ordinance along the lines
proposed by Alderman Williams.
At meeting held last night of
members of the three companies, some
very caustic remarks were made anent
the efforts which are being made TO
belittle the efforts of the members 10
make this one of the best volunteer
fire departments in the state. Stems
were taken which, being ratified at
the meeting of the three companies ON
next Monday evening will result in
dratsic measures being taken by the
members.
1t was stated his morning by one of
the members who is closely identified
with the department that if the Will
iams ordinance or resolution passes in
Council every member of the depart
ment will resign. As efforts are be-
ing made TO have the Council appoint
the chief OF the department against
the wishes of the members, this would
leave them practically with no power
in their own hands.
The city, it is claimed by several of
the members, could not afford TO nav
for entirely paid department and
would have to depend on the volun-
teer organization TO complete the com.
plement needed in the work. They
claim that they do not care to be made
conveniences Of in this manner and
will not have anything to do with the
department If any paid members are
placed by the city. Most of the men,
bers have given considerable of their
time, not only actually engaged in
lighting fires, but to devising ways
and means to better the fire depart-
ment for any effort which might be
called for from it.
After getting it into good condition
and having reputation which places il
in the forefront of any in the state,
they think it an injustice to ask them
to hand it over to the city. Each of
the companies will hold a meeting on
next Monday and a joint resolution
will probably be adopted for presenta
tion to the Council What this reso-
luton will be is, of course, a matter
of conjecture, but it will be very
strong in its nature and reflect the
strong feelings of the firemen there is
no doubt. One of the members. in
speaking of the matter this morning,
stated that the members of the depart
ment were certainly very grateful 70
certain members of the Council for the
interest they had taken in the depart
ment and the aid they had extended
on several occasions. He stated, how
ever, that certain opposition had de-
veloped in one quarter that was entire.
ly uncalied for.
This opposition, he said, would be
stubbornly fought and if they are
properly supported there will be no
great danger of any change taking
place in the management of the de-
partment.

The Los Angeles Times arriving yesterday describes with considerable detail, the wedding Of J. Frank ElweI and Miss Catherine Louise Davies the groom a former resident of this city. The incident was a function of con siderable local prominence as evidenc- ed by the following extrac. of the Times report:
 ''The assembly room of the Young Women's Christian Association Tilted with sweet music and flowers last ev- ening when Miss Catherine Louise Davies, niece of Mrs. Robert Brammer of Garvanza, became the bride of J. Frank ElwelI, with Rev. Joseph Smale officiating. An aisle of white satin ribbons. fastened together by rustic baskets of Matilija peoples, was effec- tive, and swaying ferns were overhead. The ceremony took place in front of a mass of soft greenery, carrot ferns and pOtted plants. Above softly knotted bows of white tulle foated in a can opy of greenery and on either side were tall baskets filled with white flowers. The pillars were wound with white geraniums and foliage. The bride wore a sheer gown of white swiss, made with yoke of Valenciennes lace and trimmed with bilIowy rufies edged with the same dainty lace. Her

GOOD WORD FOR ARIZONA
Golfers Weekly Speaks EditOrialIy
 Against Joint Statehood.

Arizona has at least one friend among the widely circulated journals of the east in the fight against joint statehood. The latest number of Col Hers Weekly has the following:
 Statehood is the topic, along with reclamation, that in Arizona is dis cussed most warmly in speeches and in the common talk of men. The Ari- zona people believe they are ready for statehood but they are so vehementIy opposed to being tackled on to New Mexico that they are quite willing to let the whole matter of statehood drop for the present, provided that they can be let alone to work out the matter for themselves and prove to the whole country, with their new reclamation works and the general development that these are bound to bring about along every line. that they deserve statehood. The general hostility to amalgamation with New Mexico is in tense. Pride is so strong that young men latel-r from the east talk like southerns before the war about their state The residents believe almost universally that in territory, Arizona is already large enough, and we have before expressed our reasons for agreeing with them on this point as well as generally in their contentious

THE AARICOPA FIRE
4 Comparatively Trivial LOss-StOry
 of the Incident.

Some further details were learned yesterday of the incident of the burn ing of the mail that left Phoenix Thursday night, at Maricopa. As far as could be ascertaincd, there was no destruction of letter mail or any first class matter; the loss was confined to newspapers and parcels, or fourth class matter, easthoUnd.
 Since the burning of the mail car here a few days ago a freight car has been in use temporarily for the trans portation of mai and such baggage as there was not room for in the com binatiOn baggage and express car On arriving at Maricopa the mail was turned over to the custody of the Mari copa depot officials. The mail for the west was taken from the car, as the westbound train arrives soon after. the eastbOUnd mail being left in the car for later transfer. 4 large square station lamp was also left in the car for the time being. The Phoenix train, that is, the coaches and mail car, was engaged in turning round on the Y, one leg of which is the Southern Pa cific track. The train was on the west leg of the ', just going on the main line, when the conductor discovered that the mail car was on fire. As quickly as it could be done the train was pushed back by the depot and the coaches uncoupled, so that they would be safe from the fire, after which the burning car was drawn up under the water tank, the big spout inserted in it and the valve pulled.
 The redeeming feature of the whole Incident was the beautiful way in which the Maricopa waterworks bumped itself. The fire was extin- guished with a rapidity that was all most appalling. And when it was out it was seen that the only mail burned was in the tie sacks. A couple of drummer's sample cases were also de stroyed, but aside from that no bag gage was reported destroyed. Pre- sumably the fire was caused by the lamp that had been left in the car, which had either exploded or been knocked over in the shuntins of the cars incident to switching.
 There was also a report here yester- day of an accident that occurred on the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad couple Of days before. At some station, just where was not learned, a locomotive was running backward, pulling a number of cars by the pilot. The engine struck big bu.l and was derailed. l. vas said that every member of the crew was more or less injured. but how seriously was not learned.
