It wai a splen did meeting and aroused deeper inter est in the work of the order. Col. Walker Taylor, of this city, Grand Chancellor, domain of North Carolina, called the nieetiflg to order and presided until he had to leave to attend-a. meeting of the Pythian Home trustees, also held in this city last night. Mr,.. J. D. Kelly, chairman of the joint committee on arrangements, then took the chair and presided over the' remainder of the session. The Py thians hadthe good fortune to hear short addresses by several of the visit ing Pythians. : v After the meeting had been called to order by Col.- TaVlor, prayer was Of fered iby Rev. Dr. A. D. McClure, and after the opening ode, Dr. McClure made the first address of the evening, being heard with the greatest interest as he spoke on the cardinal principls of the order, Friendship, Charity and Benevolence. Dr." McClure is a mem ber of the Masonic order, the Odd Fel lows, Juniors and probably others, but none appeals to him - in exactly the sairie manner - as th'e Pythians. The Pythian order came into being at a time when the country was torn asun der by war and bloodshed and one of its - greatest purposes was to cement the friendship of 'the North and the South. - Dr. McClure said he had been av member ' of the order only ' a few months, but long enough to have a love, devotion and appreciation for its principles. He said that if there were any present who did not belong to the order they vwould make no mistake hy affiliating , themselves . with the frater nity just as early as possible. Dr. Mc Clure made a most interesting and re freshing address and he was gener ously applauded. Col. Taylor then called upon several of the visiting Pythians for remarks. First, he asked to. hear from Mr. J. D. Pridgen, of Durham, Grand Vice Chan cellor, who will doubtless succeel Col. Taylor as Grand Chancellor next June. Mr. Pridgen was most pleasantly re ceived by the audience. Mr. G. Her bert Smith, of Cronly, also a member of the board of trustes of the Pythian Home, was next called upon by Col. Taylor, who remarked that Mr. Smith could talk of the home for an hour or two so enthusiastic and interested waB he in the work there, but he would only be asked for a .short talk; Mr J owiiujuu iuai uu Huuuuai oi oiner matters he had -not eeri able to visit the home in some weeks, therefore was not in position to talk of what Is going on there now Is well as he would like. However, he was sufficiently informed,-he said,-tosay that the home is on a sound, substantial foundation in every way. The home, he said, has as superintendent a proctical, level headed bupsiness man, who is run ning the institution just like he would a private home. Everything is as home-like.as one could wish at the in stitution. The superintendent and his wife are doing a great work there, said, Mr. Smith, -and it is a labor of love for them. He saij that although the institution is only about two years okLIt is almost self-sustaining, which is.reararded as a splendid achievement. The Pythians are looking to the fu ture and not only are the .buildings paid for, but have about $22,000 left of the orphanage; fund, which will be needed as the members of the order answer the ' final summons and their mue ones are ieft to the care of the Institution. Mr. Smith said that if fytnianlsm stood for no more than the Pythian home, the time the Py thians t. spend in attending meetings and keeping up interest would not be wasted. 'Mr. Geo. L. Hackney, of Lexington chairman of the board of trustees, was next called upon and responded in a very pleasing short talk. He said that the meeting ought to give Dr. McClure a - vote of thanks for his magnificent address, which sentiment was liberal ly applauded. , Mr. C. W. Pender, superintendent of the home at Clayton, .told something of the work that is being done at the institution. He said that his whole heart was. wrapped up- in the work there.- The Pythians listened with In tense interest- as" he told of some of the touching incidents at the' Institution;- .-A '-i--v . Al this juncture Col. Taylor, mem bers of 4theboard of trustees of the fytnian Home, Mr.Pender and Capt Thos. D. Meares withdrew from" the meeting to hold a session ofv the trus tees to discuss matters pertaining to the home. Besides Messrs. Har.knev Pridgen and Smith, Mr. Thos. w. Wiebb, Of Duke, and Mr. Chas. Dewey, of ; Goldsboro. also members of tho board, were present. ? V : Mr. Kelly, took 1 the chair and 'after a musical selection . of Mr. J. y. Smith's graphophone,-Rev. J. S. Crow ley was presented and made a fine ad dress on Pythlanism." Mr. Crowley was heard ' with great interest: His was; the last formal speech of the evening: Mr. Crowley read a comnosi. rtion "I entitled, " "Woman on Fraternal iMan; , written by Mrs. Crowley, "which was very much, appreciated by the au dience. .It is. as follows: v' "His favorite? song rwas 'HbmeC: Sweet, v.: Sweet Home,' ,f.

I have -personally conferred with, Major Stickle, of. the Unit ed States Engineers, who is in charge of the river and harbor work for the Cape Fear River and Bar. and he reiterates his official statement that there is 30 feet of. . . .. l . I i- .i. . l. . ; , I noici, ni uiku im uier iiiH unr iiuu up the riven to Wilmington, which yould show about 2B to 2du, feet on low water. , Our quarterly chart, showing careful soundings by our committee of pilots for January, sustaius Major Stickle's figures; but neither the pilots nor the U. S. Kn giueers can give assurance that there are no lumps or ridges,- between the points sounded., which -might prove to be an ob- struction to a vessel drawing 2G feet. i Moreover, the' channel is narrow for a ' long vessel such as you describe, and I am therefore of the opiuiou that it would be wiser to reduce the draft of the ship in question to 24 feet, or. if there are spring: tides, to 25 feet, although it is possible that 2(5 feet might be found all the way up at i hair tide. . , Major Stickle suggests that a bout draw ing 26 feet should leave the bar at the turn ot. the tide, so as to get the' byiieflt of high water as the ship proceeds towards Wil mington. - - . It should be remembered In this connec tion that a ship goiug with the tide dofs not steer so well -as in going against 'it, and much, of course, would depend upon whether the vessel iu question auswered her helm promptly in the bends of the ri ver channel. I have known instances of vessels steering badly on aecdunt of "smell ing the bottom," and I suggested to Major Stickle today that it was necessary in such cases, as well. in others, to have plenty cf water under foot. In order to steer well lu j our tortuous channelV I am not prepared, without calling a ineetiug of the commisioners,: to state offi cially the views of the botird on this impor tant matter, but I am confident that the other members ; will sustain my suggestion that 24 feet will be quite safe at all times, and that 25 feet would le possible under most favorable conditions. Iu reply to your enquiry as to whether the Government would be responsible fo auy lightering, in case . of grounding, should a vessel drawing 20 feet attempt to come to Wilmington, I have no idea. that such a thing, would be possible. . The Gov ernment does not guarantee the safety of incoming vessels drawing 26 feet, but Ma jor Stickle is' confident that such draft would be safe under ordinary conditions. Therefore, I feel that in recommending 24 feet, or, under very - favorable conditions. 25 feet. Messrs.' W. R." Grace & Company would likely run no risk of grounding be tween the bar-ahd Wilmington, - I asked Major Stickle if he would give you a hearing on this subject, and he said that he wojild be pleased to meet you, or anyone else"' interested whenever you called upon him. ' - . " . Xours faithfully, t JAMES RUNT, Chairman. P. S. With reference to the shoal water at the Quarantine Station. I am not pre pared to say- whether a ship would he sate to lie in the channel and undergo quaran tine. In case of need, but I am sure that the draft of water at the station wharf, 20 feet, is quite ' inadequate'- to ' accommodate incoming loaded steamers. - . Unfortunately, the United States Engineer in charge has not the Tauthbrity to use any of the appropriation, for the river and har bor work, for deepening, the Quarantine Station draft of water, because of an obvi ous error in his instructions, to leave the draft of water at theQuarantine Station as it ..was, t20 feet. - ' . . -' ' s Our 'loard of commlssiotiers - will prob ably take -tip, this matter through -our rep resentatives ,-Iu '--Congress,, and. : if possihie. obtain an order to use. at vsnfficlent. part, of the anrobriatfon to deepen the .Quarantine Station water; to the same depth as that of.
