FINAL BUSINESS SESSIONS
Closing of the Annual Pythian
 Conventions Yesterday

"NAA fAS "SiS hOAo yOoIOi0dy. AnoI night the purely social program began and will continue until this evening when large number of the visitors will depart. The fes- tivities of last night occurred at the Hardwick theater and adjoining grounds. Today's diversions will be mainly the incidents attending long drive and picnic. The mem- bers of the order are invited to meet at headquarters at g o'clock and as soon thereafter as possible all will take carriages and be driven to the Indian school, orange orchards and various places of interest, different parties no doubt going in different directions, but all meeting at mid day at Clayson's Homeside ranch and hotel about five miles east of Phoenix, where a picnic dinner will be enjoyed.
 The grand lodge and grand tenn pie yesterday decided to hold their next annual convention at Doug- las. The legislation begun the day before, and which is of interest only to the members and is not subject for general publication, was dis posed of in regular order. The principal thing therefore that is of general interest was the election and installation of officers for the ensuing year.
 The grand lodge selected as rep resentative to the supreme lodge MT. J. M. Aitken of this city and the grand temple elected to simi- lar office, that of representative to the supreme temple, Mrs. Georgia w. Aitken. The fact that the su- preme representatives happen to be man and wife is an assurance that both will attend unless something bigger than an earthquake should upset their plans.
 The officers chosen by the grand lodge are as follows:
 Joseph H. Cox, of Clifton, grand chancellor.
 Geo. J. McCabe, of Bisbee, grand vice chancellor.
 J. E. Storey, of Morenci, grand prelate.
 J. D. Loper, of Mesa, reelected grand keeper of records and seal.
 Jacob Salzman of Williams grand master of the exchequer.
 c. c. Dyer, of Yuma, grand mas- ter at arms.
 E. s. Jones, of Congress. grand inside guard.
 J. E. Newberry. of Clifton; H. P. Merrill, of Jerome, trustees.
 There were in attendance ffty:six officers and delegates of the grand lodge besides many members of the order both from Phoenix and from the other cities in the jurisdiction, who have been former officers or delegates and therefore fully enti- tied to seats in the grand body.
 The grand temple of the Rath- bone Sisters closed it's final session yesterday afternoon after the cleo tion and installation of the follow ing officers for the ensuing year:
 Mrs. Emeline Rosenstern, of Trc- son, grand chief.
 Mrs. Louise Fitch, of Douglas, grand senior.
 Mrs. Percy Dubois, of Williams, grand junior.
 Mrs. Marian Wright, of Clifton, grand manager.
 Mrs. Honora Parker, of Tucson, grand mistress of records and cor respondence.
 Mrs. Mamie Wilson, of Solomon vile, grand mistress of finance.
 Mrs. Ida Moore, Phoenix, grand protector.
 Mrs. Roscoe, of Morenci, grand outside guard.
 Mrs. Thalheimer of Phoenix, Mrs. Nellie Olney of Solomenville and Mrs. LeRoy of Clifton, trustees.
 That the grand temple might find easy sailing on the financial sea the grand lodge during the day con tributed hundred dollars as a nest egg for its treasury, which pleasing bit of news was carried to the grand temple shortly before it's final ad- journment.-Republioan, May 12.
