The Pythian Sisters. through Rathbone
Temple. have received what they deem
interesting and encouraging words from
two past supreme chiefs both well
known in this city-Mrs. Ida NJ. Weaver
and Mrs. Nellie e. Merriam. Mrs. Wea-
yer, who instituted Rathbone Temple
nearly twenty years ago and who was the
first supreme chief the order had. says
Just twenty years ago it was that We
held our first meeting after our organiza-
ton in Milwaukee There were but TWEEN
ty of us.
we could hardly foresee then we were
laying the foundation of a sisterhood like
this, which counts its members by the
hundreds of thousands. Each state is
represented now. and the work which has
been accomplished is great.
1.-The first meeting of Pythian Sisters
was held In Warsaw, Ind, in 1sSs. and
was elected chief The first Grand Tenn
pie was organized two years later in In
dianapolis. and I was given the highest
office i'm that. When the first meeting OF
the Supreme Temple was to be held in
milwaukee, in 1880 our little Warsaw
temple chartered a car and went to dem
oustrate its work 10 the convention. The
uniforms, which consisted of Grecan dra-
peries, were made on my machine in my
home and. although simple and inexpen-
sive were pretty. Now many of the robes
of the officials cost over $1,000 apiece"
1.-The past two years of our order have
heen prosperous said Mrs. Merriam,
Junior past supreme chief. whose term as
supreme chief expired with the close OF
the Milwaukee convention. 1.-TWO grand
TEMPLES have been opened, making forty
two in all. with the temples in Hawaii,
Panama, Mexico and British Columbia,
as well as the different states The Vir-
ginia and South Dakota grand temples
are the additions in my term
IAN innovation while l was in office,
which is resulting most satisfactorily. is

Statement by Secretary Tindall.

In a statement to the public Secretary
Tindall said:
THE law which requires them to con-
fine their estimate of expenditures within
twice the amount of the total estimated
revenues of the District involves close
study and frequent consultations with the
heads of subordinate departments and
others. to such an extent that with the
demand upon their time to attend to cur
rent office business the estimates will be
delayed beyond the time in which the
Commissioners are required to present
them in accordance with law, unless in
terruption is precluded as far as practi-
cable
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-10-02
CALLERS NOT ADMITTED,
BOARD ROOM IS LOCKED
Preparation of Estimates Re-
quires Undivided Attention
of the Commissioners.

Secretary Tindall got out his lock and
key yesterday and oiled them up with a
vim, for he intends to bar the doors to the
Commissioners offices at the District
building to all visitors who want to see
members of the board after 10 o'clock
a M, from October 10 until further notice.
The reason is that the Commissioners
have before them mountain of informa-
ton, all of which will go grinding into
the mill which turns out requests for ap-
preparations. The preliminary estimates
for the District have been prepared in
large measure and the very size of the
typewriter mass is enough to make one
weary by looking at it.
Commissioner Johnston is expected at
the District building tomorrow. The first
thing the other Commissioners will ask
him to do will be to confer on some of
the items now under consideration. Com
missioner Rudolph says that the esti-
mates would have right of way over
everything.
