K. P. MASS MEETING
Hon. William Gay Brown Honored BY
the Knights 0f Pythias

Washington, Sept 19.--On Thurs
day evening. the 18th, the X. OF r.
order in the District OF Columbia held
a great mass meeting. which was
convened under the auspices OF the
Grand Officers Of the Grand Domain.
Of the District OF Columbia, to honor
the boys In uniform that won the
prize at the Grand Encampment, re-
Gently held at Terra Haute. Indiana.
The occasion was one in which
much enthusiasm conferred, but the
Grand Chancellor. who is member
Of Mount Vernon Lodge No. 5, the sec
ond oldest lodge In the world, there
being but one Pythian lodge older.
and in this lodge are several Pythi-
ans from the Second Congressional
district, and through these members,
the name Of Hon. William G. Brown
has often been heard, and while about
60 per cent OF the members of con-
gress are Pythiars yet in the face OF
all this, West Virginia, through Com
gresham Brown was given the hon
or Of furnishing the man to address
this grand mass meeting, held in TIE
Pythian Temple in this city.
Mr.. Brown was introduced by the
Grand Chancellor, II. M. Vandervort,
who responded to the great pleasure
OF all present In most happy strain
Of talk, omplimenting the order in
the city, for tho happy situation OF
being at the birthplace OF such
grand order as the knights OF Pythias.
and to have the honor of having at
one time man who was inspired
with such noble impulses, as to found
an order that is doing SO much for
humanity and tae elevation OF the
human race.
Mr.. Brown assured his large and
attentive audience that he was men,
Der of other fraternal orders, but he
felt the keenest interest In the X. of
P because he had been more closely
associated with 1t, and OF course was
in position to judge its merits, and
he, being man OF fraternal instinct,
as s well known in his home county
and state, impressed upon his hearers
that two things were to be done, in
touch with the principles of Pythian-
ism, and one was to give and the
other was to receive but ha empha-
sized the giving part as the one In
which man received the most genu-
inc pleasure, and when these two
cardinal principles are made the OBJ
ject of membership in this order. he
felt assured, he said, that both the
giver and the one that received were
profted by the existence of such
noble order as the X. of p, because
the work being done by this growing
brotherhood is fast making men bet
ter and the world in proportion.
The address was received with the
closest attention, and was frequently
interrupted by applause. when the
good and salient points of its accom-
plishments were made plain.
Mr. Brown was given royal re-
ception by the members OF the several
lodges in the city. and he drew him
self very close to the members, By
his able and instructive address.
