Rrxan Addresses Century Lodge.
What was perhaps the most largely
attended visitation of the fall was that
of Century Lodge last Monday evening,
when william Jennings Bryan was the
principal speaker. Every lodge in the
domain was quite we'll represented.
and the remarks of Mr.. Bryan were
greatly enjoyed by all present.
No higher compliment could be paid
to the teachings of the order of the
Knights of Pythias than when Mr..
BRYAN said that he belonged to about
a dozen different fraternities, but that
his X. of P. lodge had attracted him
10 more of it's meetings than all the
other organizations combined.
Mrs. Ida Roe Reports on Jubilee.
Jubilee.
Mrs. Ida Roe, excellent Junior of
Friendship Temple, Pythian Sisters,
has returned from a five weeks visit
with friends and relatives in the New
England States, and at the meeting
Wednesday evening gave an interest
ing account of her trip. She met with
many Pythian Sisters while away, and
reports that great enthusiasm is be-
ing manifested by them at every place
she visited over the Golden Jubilee
to be held in this city next February,
and that large numbers of them are
going to accompany their husbands
here on that occasion.
Attendance mt Jubilee to Be Large.
Each week brings to hand additional
information which carries with it the
assurance that the attendance upon the
golden jubilee on February 1e, 20 and
n will be second only to a regular Su-
preme Lodge convention. Already prep
arations have been made for the running
of several special trains to accommodate
the knights and their families who are
coming from long distances and these il
is thought will be augmented to a con-
siderable extent between now and the
time Of the jubilee.
