It Is Thought That About $4,000
Was Cleared.

The carnival which the knights of Py-
thias conducted with great deal of fun
and profit for three weeks came to a
noisy end last night at midnight. With
several Pythians of the uniform rank
shouting out prices en- chances from a
plat rorm, and many Pythians and Py-
thians' ladies Offering nice things to sell
and lucky chances with which a man
might get box of candy or cook stove
or something between the two, the last
minutes Of the carnival were kept alive
in a blaze of financial glory.
1t is impossible TO guess the amount OF
money taken in during the three weeks.

for the carnival. which will necesstate
some heavy figuring for day or two to
come but the committee in charge thinks
that about $1,000 was cleared. The money
will be used to pay off part of the debt
on the building and to decorate the hall
in which the entertainments of the knights

Bosom of Potomac

The searching party from the harbor
police precinct and number of volun-
teers who have been endeavoring to recov
er the body of Paul N. Fridinger were
obliged to give up the search yesterday
afternoon because of the roughness of
the water.

and clerk in the Wah Department. was
drowned Friday night in the Georgetown
channel. between Potomac point and the
highway bridge.
The police party. under the command of
Sergt. Dean, went to the scene of the
drowning early yesterday morning and
dragged the waters nearby with grap
ping hooks until the afternoon. The
high winds which arose during the day
not only made il dangerous for the men
to work, but tossed the boats about so
that the rowers were unable to handle
The oars.
Another effort will be made to recover
the body early this morning. provided the
water is calmer.
