The Knights of Pythias enter- tained their friends at their hall " . on Wednesday , a large number of invited guests being present. When all had assembled , Dr. J. . C.

So much was the singing of the quartet appre- 1 : ciated that they were compelled " to respond to an enthusiastic en- - core. Miss Miner recited in her , usual pleasing manner. Her selection was very timely dealing . with the adventures of a woman who desired to become a K. of P. The nature of the selection and . . , ' ; _ A 1 - I the pleasing manner in which it was rendered , drew forth hearty applause. A vocal solo by Sherman - man Godfrey fo11owed. Although a very young singer his voice impressed - pressed an by its volume and pur- ity.Vit ! : his talents properly cultivated he has a future before him as a singer. Miss Anna Dorrington sang a very pretty charmingly sung in the style that has won for her more than a local reputation. W. S. Leyda delivered an address , taking for his subject the history of the Knights of Pythias. His refer- ence to the history of the local order was very interesting. It is not generally known that the Fans City lodge of Knights of Pythias is the only one in the state that has two charters. The lodge was originally instituted on lay 10 , 1874. It was later dis- solved , but some member took the charter and hid it away. In September , 1884 the lodge was reorganized and a new charter granted. The old charter was again produced and hung on the walls. A special dispensation from the grand lodge allows it to remain side by side with the later charter. Mr. Leyda closed his remarks with some timely remarks - marks for the good of the order. After another selection by the quartet the meeting resolved it- self into a social gathering. Sup- per was served and the guests divided - vided their time between playing various games and dancing.
