This was dedicated by Past Supreme Coun-
selor liathbone founder of the order
The last division of Uniform Hank

by Gen VanZandt at Taylor aud three
more divisions are now ready to be started
at Cleburne Ladonia and Seymour having
purchased uniforms and made ail
necessary preparations In addition to
these new divisions steps are
being taken to add eight or ten
new divisions to the list thus swelling it to
fortyfive with an average membership of
forty for each division
History ot the Order
In view of the growing popularity of tho
Knights of Pythias and the rapidity with
which the number of the order is being
swelled a short history of the founding will
bo interesting
This order was organized in Washington
in the District of Columbia on the lJth of
February 1SG4 by some eight or ten gen-
tlemen who mot by previous agreement at
Temperance Hall where after some conver-
sation concerning the subject the meeting
was called to order and Mr 1 T K Plant
was
committee was appointed to prepare a ritual
of ceremonies to be used in opening and
closing the lodge and iu conferring de-
grees The committee reported at once a
ritual which had already been prepared
and which was adopted whereupon the
meeting went into an election of officers
auA J H Kathbone was elected to fill
Wc position ot worthy chancellor of
the order All the other necessary officers
were duly elected aud appointed and the
various commutes suggested by the neces-
sities of the movement formed and the
meeting adjourned to meet on tho evening
of the 23d to complete the organization
At tho time appointed these gentlemen
met again at the same place the
officers were installed the committees
reported mid the newly formed lodge under
the name of Washington Xo 1 was
launched for weal or woe upon the stormy
waters of its new life This was during
the ycarbefore the close of tho war when
the country was rent asunder by that
mighty and unhappy conflict If was of all
times the very worst which could have
been chosen to institute aud
build up an order having for
its immediate and active purpose the pro-
pagation of good will and peace and
brotherhood among men The very worst
time which could have been selected for it
was at a period when brother was arrayed
against brother and parent against child
But the men who had organized
tho society were stouthearted firm aud
unremitting in patience and peiscvei ince
having an abiding faith iu the justice and
goodness of men
During the next month or two after tho
formation of Washington lodge tho mem-
bers labored faithfully for the advancement
of their order They used their best
efforts to enlist tho sympathies
and active cooperation of all
good and true men with whom they were
acquainted and succeeded iu getting sev-
eral additions to their number On the Sth
of the following April representatives hav-
ing been previously elected they met with a
number of past chancellors and together
they organized the first grand lodge As
soon as the grand lodge was in-
stituted its energetic and able officers
began to work vigorously intending to
start as many new lodges as they could and
if possible to extend the order into other
states But the state of the public mind
was not at this time in a condition to re-
ceive the new order and though several
otber lodges were afterwards organ
if8 including Frauklin lodge
Nifi 2 they were alltogether
ith Washington No 1 dissolved
rather their lives went out for want of
aljendaneo and stimulant on the part of
th2r 4ientbcrship Franklin lodire No 2
to the rule and to it is
grand lodge its
hist session and one by one the Pytbian
lights were extinguished Matters stood
thus until May litfO when the war
closed aud attention was ouce more turned
to the rejuvenation and propagation of tho
order This time the movement met with
marked success Tho grand lodge was re-
organized ti new and amended ritual was
created all labored with might aud main
aud the number commenced to increase
Maryland was the next state to receive
privileges of Pythian knighthood From
here it spread to Pennsylvania and once
started once tho nature and objects of the
order became known it has gradually ex-
tended itself all over the United States and
in addition has attained a strong foothold
in Canada British Columbia the maritime
provinces and the Hawaiian islands
The order now has over threa
thousand lodges in thirtyeight states
acd territories and numbers over two
hundred thousand men in its ranks
Some time in 1S06 a supreme lodge of the
orld was organized and put at the head
and given control over the entire order
The supreme power of executing the laws
enacted by the supreme lodge is placed in
tho hands of a supreme chancellor
who is assisted ia the just and
important administration thereof by a
wellconditioned and ably organized staff of
intelligent men Occc in two years the
supreme lodge meets It is composed ol
the past grand chancellors and representa-
tives elected by each grand jurisdiction
and it is their province to frame such gen
eral laws as will subserve the interests and
> fele ii > at fi > ix
5 V rf s i n > 1 <
promote the good of the whole order
They also act in one other capacity
viz that of a supreme judiciary
They decide all questions and cases which
are brought before them by appeal from
any of the inferior jurisdictions and their
decision is final and irrevocable
Created and organized during a state of
war the formation of the order is of a
semimilitary character although its pur-
suits and objects are entirely jicaceful in
their nature The several degrees
taken by the members are called
ranks the highest being the
Uniform Rank and its members in each
lodge form a division with officers similar
in number and rank to the commissioned
and noncommissioned officers of a com-
pany Five or more of these divisions
make a regimental division which is of-
ficered by a commanderv aided by a staff
corresponding to the colonel of a regiment
and his staff Two or more of these
battallions constitute a brigade The or-
ganization of the order is as complete and
thorough as that of an army and every de-
tail of business or friendship is conducted
with like dispatch firmness and perfee
tion
Pythian Kniglithood
The following poem written by a Pythian
knight best sets forth the spirit andorigin
of this order which is so rapidly diffusing
itself not alone throughout the United
States but takes the world for its field
A band of brothers linked in friendships chain
We stand together whether in weal or woe
In health or sickness pleasure or pain
Pledged we all selfish fselinss to forego
Ard that pure friendship does exist
To let the whole world know
Disciples of that twain so famed in story
Damon and Pythias those noble ones of
yore
Whose test of friendship with increasing glory
As time rolls ami years pass oer and oer
Shall be to all mankind a bright example
Till time shall be no more
When in the tyrants power and doomed to die
Damon the patriot and statesman stood
With form erect and death defying eye
In noble scorn the preparations viewed
With which thetyrant Diouysius sought
To shed his guileless blood
His life lie begged not one only boon
He craied tnas to see before he died
Aud with them hold his last commune
His wife and child who d elt on Etnas side
And then the execution of the dread decree
With patience hed abide
To this appeal the tyrant answer made
Suppose this favor now is granted thee
And pieparatlons for thine execution staid
What pledge Tor thy return canst guarantee
I stand his pledge his friend brac Pythias
said
fet Damon go take mc
Into his dungeon cast me my limbs enchain
As hostage keep me so that my deal est
friend
May see his wife and child but once again
Before his guileless honest virtuous life
shall end
Do this but this and may the blessings of
the gol <
In full on thee descend
We all do know the sequel how Damon came
At the last moment and Pythias life was
saied
How Dionyslus struck with overwhelming
shame
Not only pardoned Damon but pardon craved
Of the two friends who for each other had
The doom of death thus braved
Brothers throughout our lives be this our aim
To so deport ourselves that all may say
Frieudship with tleui is much more than a
name
In deeds of kindness may we pass each day
So that when lifes fitful fevers oer
In peace well pass away

papers showing the great success of the
Texas car exhibit and what is said of it
We have not lost a moment of time so far
made firstclass connections and such a de-
mand for Texas literature even you with
all your work in this behalf never imag-
ined possible And addresses are listened
to with great interest Gov Hubbard lec-
tures to morrow night in Farwell hall and
will be introduced by exSenator C B Far
well who you know is deeply iuterested in
Texas
The lady managers of the Columbian ex-
position and officers of that great institu-
tion have examined our exhibit in parties
and it requires three men from morning
till night to show the constant stream of
people the exhibits as they go through the
cars
Tomorrow we go to Waukesha Wis for
two days from there to DesMoines Ia to
the state fair from August 2S to September

Texas our arranged route and dates so tho
l > eople can keep up with us and keep us
supplied with matter mid exhibits
For the past three days we have been on
State street where over 100000 people pass
daily on the South Side cable cars I
worked a genuine Texas raboifs foot on
the city government to get them to permit
the Illinois Central road to to place
our cars on the lake front opposite the Le-
land Auditorium Richelieu and other great
hotels You know the location and that it
is the most aristocratic and fashionable in
Chicago You know the throngs that pass
there dailvalong that cool lake front and
Michigan boulevard and on and off the sub-
urban trains I finally got a permit from
the city authorities and we have attracted
tens of thousands to tho Texas exhibits
Such a concession as you know has not
been granted in five years as there are now
more than fifty injunction suits pending re-
garding obstructions to this front It is a
great compliment to Texas
I am receiving letters and telegrams daily
from managers of fairs and other large
gatherings of people inviting us to visit
them ard if our years trip does not re-
sult in bringing a quarter of a million peo-
ple to Texas it will be because effect does
not follow cause for as Secretary Dana of
the Galveston chamber of commerce told
me last week after visiting Virginia 111
