Grand Lodge to order, said: 1--WE
have passed through the fiery fur
mace, Out me flames touched Us not.
We have been true tenets of the Or
der. We have fought a good fight,
and have kept the faith, and now
the world applauds Tennessee Py-
thians." He exclaimed that the K
of p. was more than a secret Order,
extending its helping hands to the
needy and afflicted; standing for the
elevation of the Negro race, and for
law and order; believes in civic right
eousness aha all that tends to make
mankind better. I'm the ranks of
our order there may be found men
of all walks Of life: doctors, profess
sors, business and laboring men" He
was roundly applauded by the five
hundred delegates assembled.
After the appointment of the usual
committees the Grand Lodge ad-
journed to view most magnificent
parade by the Uniform Rank and
subordinate lodges. The procession
was formed Immediately in front of
the hall headed by brass band and
the Uniform Rank, followed by the
subordinate lodges and carriages and
autos, traversed the principal streets
of the city amid the applause of the
populous.

sea bathing and the sight of many
large ocean steamers. Another fea-
'ture that adds much and that makes
this one of the best years is the
outdoor life (tent-life) which the
men are enjoying very much.
The institute has been especially
blessed this year in having so many
able men to speak to them on diff
ferent phases of the work. Amolg
those who have visited the institute
are Prof M. A. Hawkins, of Balti-
more, Major Charles Douglas, the
Youngest and only living son of the
late Fred Douglas, and DR.. VIM. H.
Sheppard, who has recently returned
from Africa, and who was for a long
time a prisoner of the Belgian gov
ernment for the disclosure of the
maltreatment and robbery which was
practiced upon the natives Of Central
Africa
At the close of this session the
entire gathering of men will go to
Washington, d. c., where the first
and only complete building at a cost
of 100000 now stands for thorough
inspection and for some work which
cannot be done so wei in camp.
From all indications the work
among the colored men is prosper
ing as never before and greater
things are expected.

care in their preparation His report
was all that could be desired. The
report of the Treasurer of the En-
dowment Board, Knight Thos. G.
Robinson, Of Dyersburg, revealed that
there was over thirty thousand dol
lars in the Endowment treasury.
Fraternal greetings from the Court
Of Calanthe to the Knights of Pythias
were conveyed by bevy of beautiful
women, led by Miss Bessie Patton,
who read the message, which was
couched in the most beautiful language
imaginable. Her flow of words was
revelation; her diction was elo-
quent
Dr. Crawford responded in his
usual happy vein, and said when
the days, and the months, and the
years of my life shall have been left
behind me and my eyes are being
closed in death, ! want them to be
closed by a beautiful woman, such as
sec before me now" His senti-
ments were rapturously applauded.
The Committee on Law and Super
vision held the attention of the Grand
Lodge longer than any other commit
tee Many of their recommendations
were timely, and their report in the
main was adopted.
The election Of officers resulted as
follows; ]. p. Crawford, Nashville

The board expressed disappoint-
ment over the fact that the contrac-
tors of the city generally did not
compete for the job. 1t was learned
that many contractors declined to
submit bids because plans and specl-
fications for the building had been
given Jeffries, who is a Negro con-
tractor. Two other contractors, ]. N
Hobbs and Brown Albright did sub
nit bids, but withdrew them when
the bid of Jeffries was opened. The

Pythians to be true to themselves,
and to their Order, and to their God.

vidual can exist without having a

completely covered the ground to the
entire satisfaction of all would be

words, evaded nothing came Straight

whom honor was justly due; took no
praise for the great efforts that he
had made, but simply told his hearers
the truth and the whole truth about
everything pertaining to the Order

haired brother exclaimed, John
Crawford is the soul of honor. Let

Registrar, DR.. A. NJ Townsend was

He showed conclusively that the or

that 1,400 members had been initiat-

the Order was not languishing by the
wayside, and that the receipts, sup

previous years. The report of the
