KIHTS 1i ThA Grand Lodge Will Beaume Sessions This Evening. LEGISLATIVE WORK IMPORTANT MATTrS PENDING BEFORE THE BODY. Sketch of Supreme BepresentatiVe George W. Baumaan-BePort on Fraternal Correspondence. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythlas, which adjourned last Friday after electing officers, will resume its sessions at the hail of Syracus!ans Lodge, No. 10, at 7:30 o'clock this evening. It will probably com plete its labors tomorrow. The remainder of the work of the Grand Lodge will be wholly legislative. A number of Important matters are pending before the body. George W. Baumann, who was elected supreme representative to serve for four years. is a native of Frederick, Md., and is thirty-eight years old. He has been active in the Pythian order for about fifteen years, and is a charter member of Capital Lodge, No. 24. He served several terms as grand keeper of records and seals; was grand chancellor in 1900, and the general opinion is that he has made an excellent officer. George C. Hough, the new grand lec turer, was born In Loudoun county, Vir gin!a. in 18ttS. He received his education In the public schools of the state of Virginia. George W. Baumann, Supreine Representative, K. of P. His early business training was obtained by working with his father, who was a well known contractor and builder. He left his native county and came to Wash ington about twenty years ago, and since that time has been engaged in the same business. He is a member of the Master Builders' Association of this city. Mr. Hough is a member of Mt. Vernon Lodge, No. 5, K. of P., and was initiated about thirteen years ago. He did not take a very active part until about four years ago, but since that time he has made his influence felt not only in his own lodge, but through out the order. He served his lodge two consecutive terms as chancellor commander, and was elected to represent it in the Grand Lodge largely by reason of his zeal and energy. Mt. Vernon Lodge is today one of the best, strongest and most influential or ganizations in the domain. Mr. Hough is also a member of the Maccabees and the Golden Cross. In religion he is a Methodist, having been a member of Hamline M. E. Church for about twenty years. About ten years ago his church licensed him as a local preacher, and gave him charge of Little Fa:ls Church. He served three years, and then was assigned to Bladensburg Road Mission. a position he now occupies. He is a member of the Local, Preachers' Associa tion of this city, and twice represented it in national conventions. Fraternal Correspondence. The report of the commktee on fraternal correspondence with other domains, sub mitted to the Grand Lodge, contains much interesting matter. It is written in a lighter vein than is usual, but is considered full of information. It sets forth: "Fifteen domains salary thcdr grand chan cellors, the salaries running down the scale from 32.000 to $200 per annum. Illinois pays 32,000; Indiana, 81,800; Kansas. 31,50o; Iowa, 31,200: Colorado and Minnesota. 3900; Wash ington. 875t0. and New Jersey. T700. The fol lnwing pay 3t000 or lees: Florida. Massachu setta, Nebraska. Nevada. New Hampshire. Texas and Wisconsin. All the other grand hancellors serve like our own-wi;hout eat Geo. C. Hough, Girand Leeturer, K. of P. inry. Even Ohio. biggest domaig of all, pays Do salary, but allows her grand chance:tor $2.000 a ye ar for expenses. Many other do mains aliso grant a fixed sum for the Py thian i- xcutive~s 1xp:nses, but Maine, Oata -hom&e. South Carclina and South Dakota allow neither salary nor a regular expense a' ccount. "The grand keepers of records and seat are salariid in all the grand domain.. Ohio and Illinois had olf by paying this ofticer 32.400 per annum. California pays 32,000, Indiana and Texas $1.8400. Wisconsin, Kan ss and Louisiana pay $1.i'"0. Many others turn the thousand deliar mark. Vermont is on a level with the District, while the grand keeper of reconds and seal of Delaware is the only one who is paid leas than we give our offier of that title. As regards: thre grand marter of exchtquer, twenty-aix do mains do not pay this importants fiduciary offlccr anything. We pay ours~ once a year for expenses. Question of Color.

Caro's aswer was: 'Emphatically. yea' If you il read an application blank it should set ethe question.~ How can a negro get the SA. P. W. or be a member?' In Wyoming other question arises. Grand Chancellor EW. Stone says in bis report: 'I find there ssome difference of opinion among the athorities as to whether the Finlanderi ae a white race, but am of the opinion ey should be classed as a white people. herefore I am of the opinion a Finlander seligible to membership in the order of Kights of Pythias.' This Is an ethnologic aly correct decision. Detached JuTisdictions.
