ROSEATE REPORT
FOR PY7HIANS
Grand Keeper Of Records Says The
Insurance Feature of the Odrer Is
Not Understood.

Jackson, Miss, May 10.-The report
of Mr. Hillrie M. Quinn, Grand Keeper
of Records and Seal, delivered to the
Grand Lodge of Pythians was one that
was exceedingly roseate in its optim-
ism of future growth of the Pythian
body in Mississippi. Mr.. Quinn called
attention to the fact that there had
not been substantial increase in
membership for the sole reason that
change in insurance rates had caused
misrepresentation by enemies and a
general misunderstanding of condi-
lions. He predicts five per cent gain
for the coming year..
A loss of 545 members since Jan
uary 1, 1910, was reported, the total
enrolment for the Grand Lodge now
being 9,115. Mr. Quinn also called at
tention to the fact that several lodges
had either consolidated or gone out of
business, and that this latter phase of
the lodge problem was probably
reason for many of the losses in men,

Twelve new Democratic Senators
were indicted into office on the open
ing day of the extraordinary session
of the Sixty-second Congress, and nine
of them were chosen to succeed Re-
publicans. For fifteen years prior to
that time, the Democratic strength in
that body had been steadily declining,
until 1t represented little more than
the membership from the South, and
the Republicans had even made sue
cessful inroads into that section.
Maine is now represented in the
United States Senate by a Democrat.
For thirty years Maine sent Eugene

before that, none but Republicans
