Douglass, J. A. Walker, Wilmore, Night
ingale and Zion of Westchester county.
Charles Sumner of Syracuse and Da-
mon Of Utica. There were also eight
other lodges represented. The past
chancellors degree was conferred upon
twenty-six sir knights, the largest num-
Der to receive this degree at one time
In the history of the organization.
The annual report of Grand Chancel-
lor Crawford was listened to with
great interest throughout its reading.
When the grand chancellor had con-
cluded his reading one Of the most re-
markable demonstrations ever witness
ed in the grand lodge took place. Ev-
cry man was instantly on his feet
cheering Sir Crawford. For fully three
minutes this continued. 1t was grand
ovation and well merited, for every one
present agreed that his report was the
most complete and encouraging resume
of the progress Of the order for one
year that was ever presented to the
grand lodge in this jurisdiction.
This session marked the transition
from the "old grand LODGE" dominated
for years by a small group Of men OF
the old school, who were satisfied to
let the "order" drift along in the same
old rut SO long as they were at the
helm, to the new grand lodge" ruled
by the younger and more progressive
set Of sir knights, who were deter
mined to revolutionize things and put
new life into the order from one end
of the state to the other. This young
element was led and directed in the
fight by that successful organizer from
Westchester county, N. Y, Sir Paul
81. Bray of Lincoln, No. II, Yonkers.
Among the most important and rad
ical steps taken was the passage OF the
resolution offered by Sir Paul 81. Bray
placing the grand chancellor on an an
nual salary sufficient to enable him to
devote his entire time and service to
building up the order. The reform
ers" felt that the time had arrived to
place the Pythian order on business
basis in order that it might take on
new life and grow rapidly.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing term: Sir Lee Craw'
ford, grand chancellor; Sir Adolph
Howell Of New York city, grand vice
chancellor; Sir James L. Pinn OF syria

OLD HURT CAUSES SUICIDE. Victim Was Struck on Head by a Stone
 Twenty-seven Years Ago.

vermilion, S. D., Oct 2S-A blow on the head received many years ago is believed to have been responsible for the suicide, at his ranch on the Cheyenne river, of Andrew Wickstrom, 49 years of age. While working on the east wing of the old university building in Vermilion in 1887, Wick strom was struck on the head by a falling stone. He never fully recov- cred from this injury and that it di- rectly resulted in his suicide is shown by the fact that s.the injury caused him to have melancholy spells and it was during an unusually severe spell of this kind that he ended his life.

Letter Received by Prof. c. \. Mueller Says Government Has More Men and Money Than
 Needed.

That the German people are nnlted as one, determined to conquer EhG- land and Russia; that they feel only pity for France, and that he reports reaching America from English, French and Russian sources are not to be credited are declaration con- tained in letter received yesterday by Prof. C.. A. Mueller from his brother, Dr. Huge Mueller, finance officer for the German government at Stuehlinger, Baden, Germany.
 The Muellers are prominent in gov ernmental affairs of Germany, one of the kinsmen, General von PrittWitz- Gaffron, being until recently general issimo of the forces opposed to the Russians in the eastern theatre of the great conflict. He was displaced be- cause he opposed plans of the kaiser, his office being given to General von Hendenburg, who lost his official head some months ago for similar reason. The story goes that General von Hendenburg led an army against enc commanded by the kaiser during maneuvers and bested his emperor | movements were mentioned by the emperor, Gen. von Henrenburg reply ing:

"Germany's wrath is directed against England, because we are con- vnced that she could have avoided war. It was England and Russia that wanted the war.

 Dr. Mueller's letter was mailed September 28, and the translation was made by Prof Mueller, who states that pr. William Mueller, of Munich, a cousin, was wounded in a recent battle, according to informal ton received. Because of the embargo or mail between Germay and Eng land, Dr. Mueller requests his brother here to infom sister in London "ail is well with us in Germany"
