KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
LODGE IN SESSION

HARRISONBURG, VA Special
The Grand Lodge OF Knights OF
Pythias has made perhaps the great
est "shake-uo I'm the line OF officers
at any time in its history. Richmond
was signally honored when the men,
bers got together from all parts OF
the state and decided TO move up to
the head of the order Major Charles
O. SaVille. who was far from the top
of the order i'm the point OF service in
the Grand Lodge, and he was made
Grand Chancellor with whoop. Cap
tain James II. Bailey, of Richmond.
was elected to the position of Grand
Treasurer. succeeding Ben A. Ruffin.
of Richmond. w. Mex. WoOdhouse,
of Norfolk. a new man, was made
Grand Inner Guard; J. L. Glenn. one
OF the veteran Pythians OF this city,
was made Grand outer Guard. and
John V. Bear, of Clifton Forge, was
made Grand Master at Arms. This
places five new men in office. The
next place of meeting will be Mar
tinsville. Va.
Major Saville is clerk of the Chan
Gerry Court of Richmond, a position
he has held for some years. He is a
member of Marshall Lodge. Is one OF
the active and hustling members OF
/ the order, identified with the Dramatic
Order, knights of Khorassan, and Is
well known in military circles.
Ruffin as grand treasurer. is a men,
Der Of Syracuse Lodge, known far and
wide as the conductor Of Captain
Bailey's Fast Train to Old Point" and
/ Is one of the most popular men to be
/ found. All the officers are good men,
and the consensus of opinion is that
| the order has done well to choose the
| excellent corps which will manage af-
fairs for the coming year. The new
officers were Installed last night with
due ceremony.
Today there will be a discussion OF
| the Hines Memorial, and there is like
/ ~ to be some interesting develop
ments in connection with the move
ment, looking to a beginning of the
new Pythian Temple in Richmond.
1t is no secret that in some in
stances the holders of positions i'm the
Grand Lodge virtually agreed that the
offices should go to others for the
reason that they had held them for
sometime, and that business demands
were such that the best interests OF
the order demanded that a change be
made. This spirit was applauded by
the delegates, and harmony mark
every action and every vote cast.
Following is the full and complete
list Of the officers:
Grand Chancellor, Charles o. Sa-
Vile. Richmond.
Grand Vice Chancellor John b,
Boone, of Franklin:
Grand Prelate, Rev. L. E. Scott OF
| Bristol.
Grand Master Of EXchequer, James
T. Bailey. of Richmond.
Grand Keeper Of Records and
Seal. II. NJ. Darnall. of Roanoke.

TN EVENT OF TRANSFER
Ga-imed Bookings In Future VIII Be
Through Klaw & Erlanger
Exclusively.

Protests have come from all sec
nouncement in The Argus of last
evening Of the possibility OF convert
ing the Illinois theatre into a vaude-
vile house, thus again leaving Rock
Island without a home for the serv-
ing of standard attractions. Numer-
Gus inquiries have come to The Ar
gus as to how far the negotiations
for the contemplated transfer of the
lease have progressed.
An explanation was offered today
to the effect that, in the event the
present arrangements for the change
in the control of the Illinois are eff
fected, it will become a Klaw & En-
LANCER house; IN other words, in
stead of playing Independent attrac-
tions, as 1t has during the past sea-
son, il will be booked exclusively by
Klaw & Granger, who have been
playing all of their productions at
the Grand, Davenport, and the Barry
more, Moline. 1t is stated further,
that vaudeville will be presented at
the Illinois only on those nights when
It is not otherwise occupied.
NO DARK NIGHTS.
The purpose, it is explained, is to
keep the Illinois open every night
during the season, instead of having
it dark the greater part OF the time.
However, only time will prove the
practicability of such an arrange
ment-the mixing OF vaudeville and
the legitimate on the same stage.

THE TEST OF QUALITY.

VT
It's easy enough to call the bluff
OF the fellow whose stack is shy;
It's easy TO make the road more
rough
By letting a boulder fly.
It's easy to sneer al the genius queer
Who strives for a purpose grand;
But it takes some nerve to draw
kindly near
And lend him a helping hand.
It's easy to raise the ecstatic lays
For the hero at fortunes height;
It's easy to echo the songs Of praise
That sound when he gets in right
But the man whose heart plays the
finest part
Is the one who can brave1y stand
BY the chap who has made an
unlucky start
And lend him a helping hand.
