Hanover Council' No. 35, United
States Benevolent Fraternity, celebrate d
its fifteenth anniversary last night in the
Odd Fellows' hall on Third street. .
The hall where the exercises were
held was festooned with the rarest of
flowers, and furnished to the eye a
picturesque scene. A large number of
Invited guests were in attendance. In.
eluding many ladies.
Tbe meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock by President I as. F. Post.- Jr.,
with the following officers at . their
respective posts of duty, viz:- I no. T.
Kenan, vice president; - B. . J. Jacobs,
counsellor; Thos. R. Post, secretary;
W. C VonGlahn, financial secretary.
The meeting was then opened with
work in ritual and prayer, after which
ha president, in his usual - sty le, which
never fails to . make one feel, happy.
spoke aS follows: ' '. v''
Ladies. ' Gentlemen and ' Companions :
It is customary, I believe, on occasions
of this kind, for the master of ceremo
nies or chairman of the committee of ar
rangements to make suitable remarks
explanatory of the object ofjthe meeting.
uur cnairman However, Is so extremsly
modest (as all mea naturally are) that it
devolves upon me therefore as presidi ng
officer, to say to you that it has been a
custom with the iraternlty to mark tbe
years as they go by with a stone that will
indicate to tbe passer by the activity as
well as the age of the,Council. and so we
celebrate to night the fifteenth anniver
sary of bur organization. Yon will thus
perceive that we are getting venerable
with age and yet (not like the ladies) we
are proud tbat we are growing Old,' for it
is only through age that the stability of
institutions of this character is proven.
Our heart, however, continues young,'
and strange to say, we grow stronger as
we grow older, and 1 trust that our use
fulness will wax stronger with our in
creasing years. It is a pleasure to have
you with ui in social intercourse and I
hope that you mar so en j jy yourself
that you will carry away with you mem
ories 01 an enjoyable evisning well spent.
Upon the conclusion of President
Post's remarks, the secretary read tele.
grams and letters from tbe supreme,
officers. Sousa'a famous "El Cafitan"
march was then rendered by the Man
dolln Club Messrs. Ed. Warren, Chas.
Mott, Dick Piatt and Stuart Helns-
berger, mandolins, and William Ort
mann, El. Nelson and Ed. Hetnsberger,
guitars. This difficult march was ex
ceedingly well rendered, and called
forth hearty applause.
Mr. H. K. Holden, Wilmington's
favorite basso, then sang the "Mighty
Peep.:. :: X
After the selection by Mr. Holden,
Piesident Post in a few well worded
and appropriate remarks Introduced tbe
orator of the occasion Dr. S. Mendel
sohn, Supreme President of the Benev
olent Fraternity in the United States.
Dr. Mendelsohn's oration was on the
History of the Fraternity," and was
well delivered. It was an able address
from an able scholar, and the audience
showed its appreciation and interest by
hearty applause. - '
Next in order on the programme was
tbe serving of refreshments, which em
braced everything nice. After this mist
pleasant feature Miss Carrie White andXbury, N. J W. J. Tobias. Charleston, S
Mr. A S. Holden delighted the audi
enceby singing "Romanzi;" the Man
dolin Club rendered the "Eleven O'clock
Toast March," composed bi Frank
Winsteen, and the familiar piece, "Ris-
tus Oa Parade;" and Mr. H. K. Holden
sung "Stilling the Tempest." An amus
ing scene was here enacted, when Presi
dent Post introduced thi candidate.
which, after being unveiled, turned out
to be a life-size figure of the well kaown
if Yellow Kid."
President Post then, after compli
mentary remarks to the ladles and gen
tlemen who had assisted in the enter
tainment, and to those in attendance,
declared the meeting adjourned, after
prayer by the chaplain.
The different singers were accompa
nied on the organ in a skillful manner
by Miss Fannie Corbett.
During the evening Prof. I no. Fran
cisco's string band rendered several
selections.

which so faithfully performed its duty,

- One of the most pleasant occasions in
many a day was the opening of tbe
"Seashore Hotel" at Ocean View beach
last evening.' Tbe genial proprietor,
Mr. Geo. Campbell, .was here, there and
everywhere, endeavoring to see tbat
everybody was well fixed and enjoying
themselves; and right well did he suc
ceed in his mission, at he was voted by
all "one of the cleverest men ever met."
The hotel itself does much credit to the
beach aed wilt be one of the ' moat
pleasant features of th$ season's outing,
and as a gentleman very aptly ex
pressed ? It to the -Star reporter
last night, .' couldn't be better situ
ated If they ' bad bad a clean beacb
to select from.- As you enter the hotel,
you find a large,' rcomy office, presided
ever by Mr. Smitb,agentlemia who has
had large expeneaceja Summer resorts.
As you turn to the left you enter the
spacious dining room, which, of course,
it goes witnout saying, is one of the
most pleasant places in the whole hotel,
and tbe culinary department, as presided
over by Mr. James Lewis, cannot be
beat, as tbe reporter can well testify. ".
. The. dining room it also used for
dancing, and quite a number of couplet
availed themselves of the pleasure of en
gaging in the mazes of the waltz to such
excellent music as was furnished by Prof.
Miller's orchestra, which Mr. Campbell
has engaged for the season.-
Among the visiting young ladies the
reporter caught "tripping rhe light fan
tastic" last night werer Miss Mabel
Elliott. Favetteville; Miss Baldwin, An
napolis, Md; Miss Young, Charlotte,
and Miss White, Nashville.
The sleeping apartments are cool and
airy, while tbe verandas are perfect
"dreams." as the maidens would express
it. The views from the hotel are sim
ply magnificent, and it " Is beyond the
power of pen to produce any descrip
tion which would give the reader the
faintest idea of the beauty and grandeur
nature hat endowed the beach with, at
viewed by tbe Star reporter from the
veranda of the "Seashore Hotel" last
night. V-;'.-
-Mr. Campbell expects a large crowd of
Charlotte folks during this week and
may expect to tee the briny deep bat
tling with the aont and daughters of the
"Qaeen City" the greater portion ot
every twenty-lour houra.
Mr. Campbell's mother and his aunt,
Mrs. Gooch, are with htm and will see
that everything goes well in the house
keeping department of tbe "Seashore
Hotel."
Notwithstanding the short notice peo
ple had of the opening, about, one hun
dred and fifty Wilmingtonlans took
supper with Mr. Campbell last evening.
The reporter noticed the following
among the regular boarders who have
already arrived, viz : Mr. and Mrs, H. S.
Chad wick, E. A. Smith. Mr. and Mrs.
D. M. Hodges, Mrs. R. H. Jordan, Mrs.
Gxch, M. P. Pegram, Geo. Campbell.

season for the Seashore Hotel, and

his genial co workers a most enjoyable
and profitable time.
