Knights of Pythias Notes of Interest.
There has been no meeting of Gar
rett Lodge No. 113 during the holt
days, partly due to the Fair which
was held that week and an inclination
on the part of the members for a rest
from the weekly gathering. Regular
meetings of the lodge were resumed
on last Friday evening.
As token of appreciation a set of
silver knives and forks was presented
to the outgoing Master of Finance, H.
P. Stuck, by the lodge. Mr.. Henry
Lauer made the presentation address,
his remarks being appropriate to the
occasion.
At the end of the past year Garrett
Lodge showed membership of 316,
which is large increase over that of
the preceding year
The death benefit fund shows a bal
ance of nearly $1100. This should
make every member of the lodge feel
proud of his efforts to maintain such
a fund, by first establishing it and
later accomplishing what they set out
to do. Cooperation has done a great
deal for Garrett Lodge and the frater-
nifty in general during the past year.
Bro. W. S. Martin has been installed
Chancellor Commander for the ensu-
ing year and Brother w. o. Davis will
be the Master of Finance. All dues
should be sent to him. His office is in
the Garrett National Bank building.
On next Friday evening the ranks
of Page and Esquire will both be con-
ferred.
Two applications for membership
were received at the last meeting.
The Fair committee, of which Bro.
Charles w. Gray was the chairman,
will have report to make to the lodge
on next Friday evening.

 After marching for several hours tho paraders turned toward the home of the archbishop. but before the prelate appeared a great crowd of spectators became very abusive. Soldiers were ordered to drive the crowds from the streets and at their approach the crowd melted away. Later the marchers halted for a moment before the cathedral and doffed their hats but abusive terms and catcalls from the crowd greeted this show of reverence. The paraders resented this treatment and there were several personal com bats.
