S17.VER ANNIVERSARY.
The following circular, emanating from
tho oIHcaof the supreme chancellor of the
supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias, of the
world, will be read with interest by mem-
bers of the order in Texas: •
To the Order Universal—On tho 19th day
of Febrvary, 1S0-1, a newsecrot order came
into existence, named the order of the
Knights of Pythias, with Justus II. Hath-
bona as the founder.
On the 19th day of February, 1889, its
twenty-fifth birthday will occur—its silver
anniversary.
It is.very fitting tliat the membership
should celebrate that day with hearts of
grateful thanksgiving and with a rejoicing
spirit tliaf shall cause to arise from every
castle hall such a melody of alleluia that
the nations of the earth shall feel its power.
The report of the special committee on
silver anniversary is so beautiful, so touch-
ing and so inspiring it is well to send it to
the world:
"Your special committee on 'silver anni-
versary'desire to report that, as we exam-
ine the record of the order, we are lost in
wonder at. its great growth and rich fuitage
—twenty-live years of work for humanity,
crowned with a strength that has exceeded
tho wildest expectations of the most en-
thusiastic. votaries! The wonders of Alad-
din's lamp must seem capable of realization
to the founder of our order, as be looks up-
on a quarter of a million of bravo knights
sprung from tho little band which gathered
around him at Washington a quarter of a
century ago. It is most fitting and proper
that the 19th day of February should be
made to mark an epoch in the history of
Pythian knighthood. Tho picture of this
vast army of friends—tho youth, energy and
intelligence of free America—pledging anew
upon this anniversary their loyalty to the
exalted principles of friendship, charity
and benevolence, and testifying to tho world
thi.t ours is a society founded upon eternal
truth, and established in the hearts of our
fellow beings, is indeed an inspiring one.
Wo would therefore recommend the adop-
tion of rhe following:
"Resolved, that the supreme chancellor
bo and he is hereby authorized and in-
structed to issue a circular to all grand and
subordinate lodges under the jurisdiction of
iupreme lodge, at as early a datu as he
may deem wise, calling upon them to cele-
brate the twenty-fifth anniversary in a be-
coming manner."
In view of the above resolution, I hereby
call upon all grand and subordinate lodges
to celebrate in a becoming manner, on tho
19th day of February, 1889, this "silver an-
niversary" of tlio order.
Let us not forget, in this day of our re-
joicing, to keep green in memory the names
of the leaders who have "crossed tho dark
river," but whoso zeal and faithfulness
leave their indelible footprints on tlio record
-of tho order. May the example of Read,
Davis, Dowdall and Cowan be as beacon
lights to those who remain. Fraternally,
Wim.iam Ward, Supreme Chancellor.
Attest: 11. L. White, S. K. R. S.
I most heartily indorse the above circular
of the supremo chancellor, and give publici-
ty to it at this early date to enable the
lodges and members in this grand jurisdic-
tion to make timely preparations for cele-
brating the "silver anniversary" of our
great and beloved order in a fitting and be-
coming manner. Please acknowledge re-
ceipt of this and oblige. Fraternally yours,
E. II. Sintems, Grand Chancellor.

Judge J. I. Perkins, tho regular judge, was
