The Order is Enjoying a Big
Growth All Over the
HooSier State.
IN THE NATURE OF A BOOM.
GRAND CHANCELLOR JONCE
MONYHAN is QUITE ENTHUS-
IASTIC AND is MAKING SOME
GREAT PREDICTIONS.

Jonce Monyhan, grand chancellor of
Indiana knights of Pythias, says that
the present year has been the greatest
for the order this state has ever
known. New castle halls are being
built and the membership is making a
great gain. In Indianapolis there are
three splendid buildings, one of which
is the new grand lodge building which
is second to none in the country.
The grand chancellor and other
grand officers are making a great eff
fort to raise a ''dedicatory page rank
class in the lodges of the state, to pe
made knights, and to have their
names placed on parchments and hung
on the walls of the. new grand lodge
hall when it is dedicated in August.
Encouraging reports are coming from
all over the state of large class being
secured. These classes will receive
the ranks at their own lodge. as they
could not be handled in any one hall
in the state.
Mr.. Monyhan says that Indianapolis
will be shown the biggest day that she
ever saw in the way of a secret order
demonstration during the third week
in August. and besides the dedication
of the new building. there will be the
state encampment of the uniform rank.
One of the features of the dedication
of the new building will be the elem-
piification of the rank work in Tonllin-
son hall by the lola team. from Day
ton, o. This team carries about 90
men and car load of scenery and
electrical appliances for the work. The
costumes are gorgeous and the work
and drills are done by actors and art
lists.

what grudge has the weather man

which was asked on all sides, when
this morning. the residents slowly
climbed out of their beds. placed their
feet on the cold floors and then shiv-
cred, or attempted to hold a family
reunion around the stoves in the kitch-

on many sides, while those who wore
none, buckled over in typical Abe

hands in their pockets and coat collars
rolled up.

absolutely assured and it may be said
that in this respect no musical event
in the Middle West this year, in large
city or small, will compare with the
magnificent programs that Richmond
audiences will hear this week.
Financially, the May festival does
not appear in such rosy aspect; in fact,
there are evidences of a deficit that the
guarantors will be called upon to make
good That they will respond to the
call with good grace there is no ques-
ton, but there is feeling of undis-
guised disappointment over the appar-
ent lack of recognition accorded the
undertaking by many people. There
is still ample time to make the May
festival the financial success it GER
tainly deserves to be and the executive
board still cherishes the hope that the
sale Tuesday will be such that the defi-
cit now in full view will be put into
total eclipse.
To bring to Richmond the Theodore
Thomas orchestra and an array of SOLO
lists who stand among the leaders in
the musical world, is an undertaking at
which festival associations would
shudder, and the Richmond festival as
sociation, which has displayed unusual
courage, deserves the cooperation OF
all public spirited citizens.
The executive board has sent letters
to all guarantors, acuuainting them
with the financial condition of the en-
terprise and asking their combined ef-
forts in pushing the sale of tickets.
The executive board states that the
impression that free tickets are to be
distributed is positively erroneous. 1t
is absolutely necessary, the board an
nounces, that the sale of single admis-
sion tickets Tuesday and Wednesday
shall be very large if the deficit is to
be avoided. There are scores of ex-
cellent seats left and the plat may be
seen at the Starr Piano company'S
ware rooms or seats may be obtained
at the box office in the Coliseum Tues
day evening, or Wednesday afternoon
or evening.
