Bible classes being planned in that

September and October. James T
Casebeer of Decatur Lodge, who has
| been active in one line of fraternal en-.
| deavor in the District for several
years, contemplates visit to his home
state when the big classes are being
indicted into the Pythian order.

| Washington Company, No. /. Capt
George H. Whiting reports. Is gratified
! by the returns from the recent excur-
| sion to Marshall Hall, which will be
added to the funds to send Washing

At the monthly meeting of the board
of directors of the knights of Pythias
| Hall Association Monday night minor
| improvements in the building were
! considered and the proposed meeting
of the stockholders in october to in
cussed. President William A. Kimmel
| reported in substance the details OF
the statement which he had forwarded
| to the subordinate lodges, which hold
nearly all of the stock in the Pythan
, Temple. Mr.. Kimmel said, in part: I'VE
| have property and furnishings here
! worth about 100000, on which we owe
| about $4,000. If we increase the cap
| ital stock $4,000 this stock will be
| available to reduce the Indebtedness
that much and pass into the treasures
| of the lodges after the lodges have
| earned their share of it by work in
! connection with the events now plan
| ned, stock being issued pro rata to
| the Pythian bodies for the net earnings
| in connection with features now being
promoted by the ways and means COM
mittee, assisted by other members of
the order. BY cance1ing $4,000 indebt-
edness in this manner with this stock
it at once becomes apparent that saw
| ing of interest to the amount of sew
| eral thousand dollars will be effected.
The present stock. held by lodges
principally. amounts to $4,000, which
| represents the total amount held on
| our valuable property, and 1t appears
| to me that the increasing of the Pyth-
| ian Hall stock in the sum of $4,000
will prove equita BILE and advance the
work of the order in this the mother
domain"

Quoted by Ell Medi Temple of Peoria,
Ill.,, he stated, were features Of the

Arab patrols of the various temples
proved a great attraction and were close
