Myrtle for Those
Departed.

With services emblematic though sim
pie, the Pythian brotherhood yesterda,
afternoon paid the tribute of respec
and remembrance to those of the loca

life beyond. These are Clarence NJ

The services were at Pythian Castle
Beretania and Fort streets, and were
well attended both by members of the
order and by others. The members of
the order, each wearing sprig of
MALE fastened by the Pythian insig-
MIA on the lapel of the coat, marched
into the hall in Pythian order, and
were seated so as to form a triangle,
in itself a Pythian emblem. In
the center of this triangle was a
memorial urn, and as the closing cere-
monial the members of the order,
marching in double file, on either side
of the urn, each placed in the urn
the sprig of MALE he wore, in place
of myrtle, the emblem of remembrance

of Woman,'' and ST. Paul s go Death |
Where is Thy Sting was read by the
Prelate, F. J. Cross. Mrs. Mackall, |
with Miss Margaret Clarke as accom-

tifully, "Abide With Me- Another
musical number was the solo clears of

has a beautiful boys soprano voice

foglio.
Cardinal Newman s immortal Lead
Kindly Light was beautifully render
ed by a quartet Mrs. Maekall had
kindly secured, composed of herself,
Mrs. Marcallino, Mr.. James D. Dough-
erty and Mr.. j. III. Howland. Miss
Margaret Clarke was the accompanist.
Except for the ceremonial closing
the exercises ended with what was on
the program as an instrumental duet,
a selection from Verdi s E'u Trova
tore,' but which was in reality clari-
net solo by Mr.. d. Menefogio with
piano accompaniment by Mrs. Meme
foglio. The selection seemed pecu
iarly fitted for the clarinet, and was
excellently rendered, while the piano
accompaniment was most pleasing.

J. Deering; on behalf of Mystic ,
lodge, by Fred Waldron. On behalf of
