PYTHIANISM St. Louis, Mo., April 28—This is one of the greatest orders upon the face of the earth. For when God his mighty works began, he said "Let there be light," and the blessed light appeared. No order has done more for sniffering humanity, more to relieve the widows and orphans, more to shed rays of light into benightefi homes, than this grand lasting fraternity. During the past ten years; Pythianism has grown in interest and good-will as the Cedars of Lebanon. It has spread in christian charity and influence as the green bay tree. Founded upon the Bible, the unerring word of God, its basic foundation is as firm as the Rock of Ages. Its steady but quiet march has been heard through all the states and territories of this great country, as well as South America and the Islands of the Sea. In all the ages of the world from the building of Noahs Ark which floated upon the bosom of the historic flood, and from the estal- lishing of civilization, and from the giving the law on Sinai, institu- tious and organizations, of every code and name have come into prominence only upon merit. So with this grand and noble order of ours. Today it is a living epistle known and read by all Men, of every clime and nationality. This, like all other institutions, has been sustained by the patron. fective teeth?

This time honored institution has moved on down through the ages amid sweeping floods and volcanic fires of oppositition with a steady pace to accomplish the great work for which it was born. There never was a time in all history when the brotherhood of man was more essential to race advancement than now. The world is watching us with most earnest solicitude. Pythianism teaches that most essential element without which no man can be a real man; that is self-control. Rome, sitting upon her seven hills; Babylon, surrounded by her mammoth wall could boast of their uncounted wealth must perish and be laid in the shade of oblivion, but the principles of Friendship, Charity and Benevolence will live forever. In Friendship we find principles when carried out in their fullest, and most comprehensive sense; brings all humanity together in bonds that even the grim monster death cannot sever. In Charity we find principles installed that are more lasting than the rock-ribbed hills, and more near When you wear the ready to "rescue the perishing and care for the dying." While Benevolence, the mother of all good, extends a hand of mercy to the weak, and gives a halo of glory to all wherever the rays of Pythianism has thrown its mystic influence. On these three pillows rests the superstruction of our noble order. Around them we cast our brightest hopes and expectations. We have come here not to "sound brass or tingle simbles." Deeds, not words are the recomendations it offers the world. It is spending a half million dollars annually for the relief of our race. It is hastening the day when the Caucasion, the sable sons of Ham, the almond eyed Mongolian and the prosperous Jew shall be gathered together in one common brotherhood. It is hastening the day, when right shall be the king that shall wicld the scepter. It is hastening the day when wrong shall perish and die. Then will the music of history sing the song of peace and harmony and the smoke from our order shall go up from a thousand hills. B. J. CARRUTHERS. Our renowned order had its origin many years in that histori- sary Celebration A WEEKLY ERVATOR AT TY PARK Y, MAY 17th the ladies of the Eastern Star leadership of Mrs. Ella , Chalrman. a, 15 Cents. cal ancient court founded by the Emperor Dionysiur who was so wonderfully impressed, aye stricken and convicted of the Pythagorean honor, loyalty. friendship, chairty and benovance of our two seal friends in far away Syracuse on that beautiful island of Sicily, that he pled to be admitted into their miraculous bonds of friendship and then established the regal court of ladies, typical of the beautiful principals of Fidelity, Harmony and Love, as exhibited by Calantha Hermione during the moment of trying ordal and the test of Knightly honor experienced by Damon and Pythias and so we today as calanthean courts extoel the virtues of these characters and strive to enulate the principals of Fidelity, Harmony and Love, and to this end we today let fly our tri-colored banner of blue, green and white. We are proud of our colors as they mean more to us than a mere pretty rosette, more than a mere symbol of our order, more than public display, more than calenthean glory; but they signify united efforts for the good of our membership and people. Our very colors have a language readily understood and recognized by the civilized world. Blue for loyalty and Fidelity, Green for peace and Harmony, and White for purity and Love; so altogether blue, green and white gives us a banner fit to be cherished by all our hearts and upheld by all our hands. Today we are proud to uphold our banner as well as our hearts and voices in concert and united chorus in one grand thanks giving song and prayer to our Supreme Counsellor, who has showered blessings upon our ranks during the year and has given our calanthean host in Missouri strong leadership, permitted us to mingle together in blessed anniversary service and chant Lord be merciful upon us and incline our hearts to do thy will. Also, Lord be merciful upon us and incline our hearts to keep that law. And, in conclusion let me add that the order of Galanthia is very hopefully of contributing her share in the uplifting and salvation of the women of a down cast race and rejected people. We look forward to that day when Etheopia shall stretch forth her hands, when we recite with Ella Wheeler Wilcox:— "The things thou cravest wait in the distance. Wrapped in the silence unseen and eternal, Essential to the soul and thy existence. Live worthy of it, call and it shall come." Miss Clara Arnett, Public School Exercises at New Franklin. The colored public school, under the leadership of Prof A C Lewis, has had a most profitable and prosperous year. By his untiring efforts he has brought the school up to a high standard until now it stands among the best in the state. The people of this place, both white and black, esteem him highly, and show their appreciation of his excellent work by attending and encouraging him to build up a strong and influential school. During the five years he has been at the head of this school a magnificent library has been purchased in which are some of the foremost literary productions of the world. That alone will stand out as a monument to his memory when he shall have gone from us to labor in some other field. He was nobly assisted by Mrs Ada B Hardgraves who has endeared herself to the patrons of the school by her admirable traits of character and deep interest in those under her charge. Tde closing exercises which took place in Hughes' Chapel M E church, on the 27th of April, brought out a large audience. The program rendered was of a high order, showing in every particular the evidences of superior and skillful training. One of the principle features of the evening was the exhibit of in- If you want a good picture, be sure to visit Carefully and Promptly Looked After. N. B.

He and his assistant were easily re-elected for the ensuing year. Thirty-one Knighted at Rocheport. ROCHEPORR, Mo., May 1—The Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloye, of St. Louis, assisted by W. H.

Everything from greens up to ice cream was served in abundance. The "Goat" certainly did cat his fill, before taking his final "leap." Messrs.

Bu channan, for more than 13 years superintendent of our city schools, has yielded to the earnest solicitation of his friends and will make the race to secure the nomination on the republican ticket as the candidate for State Superintendent of Schools. It is with pleasure that we commend him to our patrons as a cultured schoolman and a wise disciplinarian well prepared by scholastic training and practical pedagogical experience to fill with the utmost acceptability the office he seeks, and the one we desire him to have. Brief Sketches of those whom we have Announced. In speaking of those whom we have the honor of announcing through our colums from time to time, we shall be governed by the records such individuals have made in the communities where they have resided and in the official positions they may have filled. Believing it to be just to all men, to give them credit for what they have done, we shall through-out this campaign know men not for themselves personally but by their records. For Probate Judge we have two gentlemen, Judge J. W. Truxell, ex-judge of the police court of Sedalia and W. S. Beard, of Beaman. Judge Truxell is an old sodier well known in the business, social and fraternal circles of this city. He has a clean record behind him. His standing among all citizens is lofty. Mr. Beard has for the past 22 years lived in Beaman township. He is a progressive agriculturist of ability. Among his neighbors, white and colored, he is considered to be very reliable, conscientious and honorable. During his lengthy stay in that community, he has been a strong party worker loosening no opportunity to push the G. O. P. to the front. Our candidates for prosecuting attorney, A. L. Shortridge and H. D. Dow are both excellent young men, possessing traits of character that attract men of all classes to them. Mr. Shortridge, since he has served several years as city attorney, has an official record that is enviable. But no less brilliant is the political record of Mr. Dow, during his many years service as secretary of the republican county committee. Both have many friends all over the county and their contest promises to be a hot though pleasant one. Messrs. T. T. Viets, C. W. Daugherty and W. S. Scott, candidates for treasurer, circuit clerk and collector, will have smooth sailing to secure re-nominations for the positions they now hold, because they have given the county good service. All republicans and many democrats will vote to retain them in their positions, because they are pretty good men noted for honesty, industry and business sagacity sufficient to properly care for the people's interests. We are to decide between Charles D. Rayburn and Walter Morey as to which shall make the race for recorder. Both are excellent specimen of Pettis County manhood. Judge Rayburn made a record two years ago by changing the political complexion of the western district of this county from democratic to republican. He is a tireless worker and goes after the enemy with vim. Mr. Morey, his opponent, is well known by the young men as well as the old line of politicians. He possesses to a great extent many of the excellent qualities of his illustrious father, the late A. P. Morey of this city. If he should secure the nomination, his democratic opponents will be sent to "Salt Creek" in a hurry. The nomination for a very important position is sought by Messrs. M. L. Imhoff and David Roberts. Both feel that they can fill with acceptability the County Clerk's office. Mr. Imhoff has served several years as deputy and possesses much experimental knowledge of how to look after this work. Mr. Roberts, however, has had several years' experience as school teacher and is now a traveling representative of one of the leading commercial houses in the West. He is a young man of unassuming but impressive department. His record as a teacher and business man is clean straightforward and godly. Our country delegations will rally to his support joyfully. We have but one criticism to make of J. E. Love, candidate for constable and that is, he is a democrat. Otherwise he is alright, having an official record that commands him to all our citizens. Among the colored citizens, Mr. Love has many loyal friends. in the Prof. Buchannan Will Run. We are delighted to announce to channan, for more than 13 years she has yielded to the earnest solicitor, the race to secure the nomination candidate for State Superintendent that we commend him to our patron, a wise disciplinarian well prepared for pedagogical experience to fill office he seeks, and the one we desire.

In size it is 24 miles long and 10 miles broad. Next to New York, it is the largest city of the New World. We get some idea of its rapid growth when we remember that it became a town as lae as 1833—just 72 years ago. It was chartered as a city in 1837. In 1871 it was nearly destroyed by fire, in which 200 lives were lost, 98,000 persons were rendered homeless and 17,450 buildings were burned. It now has about 2,000,000 inhabitants. It is the greatest railroad centre in the world. We clip the following from the Commoner: According to the Ohio State Journal there is something doing in Chicago. The Journal says that a Chicago newspaper publishes the following interesting catalogue of events transpiring in the city by the lake: A death every fifteen minutes. A birth every eight minutes and twenty-eight seconds. A murder every seventy hours. A serious accident, necessitating nurse's or physician's care, every four minutes. A suicide every eighteen hours. A fatal accident every five hours. A case of assault and battery every twenty-six minutes. A burglary every three hours. A hold-up every six hours. A disturbance of the peace, to attract attention, every six seconds. A larceny every twenty minutes. An arrest ever seven minutes and thirty seconds. A fire every hour. An arrest for Jrunkenness every fifteen minutes. A marriage every twenty minutes. A case for the coroner every three hours. A new building completed every one hour and fifteen minutes. A railroad train arrives every fifty six seconds. Sixty passengers, surban and through, arrive every second at railway stations. Seventeen thousand gallons of water a minute pass through the 1900 miles of city water mains.
