ANOTHER BLOW TO CARNIVALS.

Knight* of Pythias Join In the Movement to ■All The** Iniquitous Affairs. The grand lodge Knights of Pythias in session at Indianapolis this week, on Wednesday, by a practically unanimous vote, passed a resolution making it illegal for any subordinate lodge to be connected IN ANY way with a street fair or carnival. This is as it should be, and had not some such action as this been taken it would have disrupted the order by driving the better class of men away from it. The street carnival is a product of hell, an offspring of the devil, and no order of any standing should countenance such affairs. They are gotten up almost solely for the benefit of the gamblers and saloonkeepers, and they are the people who should father them.
