82ND ANNIVERSARY.
Wilmington Odd Fellows Pre
paring for a Splendid Cele
bration on April 26th.
ADDRESS BY COL. BRUTON,
A Distinguished Member
from Wilson, N. C An Elaborate
Musical Prof ramme The Com
mittee of Arrangement.
The annual anniversary celebra
tions by the Odd Fellow fraternity of
Wilmington are always events of im
portance and pleasure in the lodge
history of the city, and judging from
the arrangements now being made by
an enterprising joint committee from
the four branches of the order In Wil
mington the eighty-second anniver
sary celebration this year will be no
exception to the rule.
The committee has -begun prepara
tions a little earlier than usual, and
for this- reason no detail of the ar
rangements will be neglected. The
exercises will be more elaborate than
in former years, and will take place
on the evening of April 26th in the
fnAM TTonoo nrhtok nill lu
decorated for the occasion.
A feature of the exercises this year
will be a splendid musical programme,
which will call into service some of
the very best talent in the city. Mr.
J. W. Fleet has been named by the
committee to look after this detail of
the celebration and he 'informs the
Stab that this feature of the event
will engage the very best vocalists in
the city. Mr, A. H. Yopp will furnish
the piano accompaniment, and besides
the odes of the order, which will be
sung according to the ritual of the
order by members in attendance.
there will be six other nam
bers. It is Mr. Fleet's present
purpose to open with a chorus,
followed by a selection by a mixed
quartette of male and female , voices ;
this followed by a selection by a male
quartette and next in their order a
duet, selection by mixed quartette and
closing with a chorus. The definite
programme of music will be published
later.
The joint committee has been fortu
nate this year in securing Col. John 1
F. Bruton, of Wilson, N. C. to make
the address. He is an Odd Fellow of
State reputation and a speaker of very
fine ability. Upon a similar occasion
in Wilmington seven or eight years
ago he spoke and the people of the city
were charmed with his address. He
has not yet announced his subject but
it is given out that while it will relate
specially to the growth and develop
ment of Odd Fellowship in America,
it will be of interest to the public at
large and the six hundred odd mem
bers of the order in Wilmington ex
tend a warm welcome to their friends
to be in attendance.
The officers from the four lodges of
the city, who will preside at the meet
ing will be named later. - Mr. W. L.
8mith is chairman and Mr. J. A. Or
rell, secretary of the joint committee
of arrangements and are working in
dustriously to make of the event a
great success. The committee of ar
rangements in its entirety is as follows :
Cape Fear, No. 2; W. L. 8mitb, J.W.
Fleet, David LeG win ; Orion Lodge,
No. 67, H. O. Craig, J. A. -Orrell, B.
R Penny; Wilmington Lodge, No.
1S9. J. J. Hopkins, B. J. Jacob, W. C.
Smith ; Hanover Lodge, No. 145, J. E
Wood, E. F. Johnson, E. N. Penny.
Serious Accidest Narrowly Averted.
A dreadful accident was very nar
rowly averted yesterday afternoon by
the presence of mind and thorough
efficiency of Motorman E. R. Mc-
Gowan, of the Wilmington Street Rail
way Company. As a car was passing
at a rapid rate of speed up Princess
street in front of the old Court House
a little girl very thoughtlessly ran on
the track, not seeing the approaching
car, wnicn, wnen orougnt 10 a siop,
was right at the little girl. Mr. Mc
Go wan is one of the best men on the
line and he deserves much praise for
his care and presence of mind.

WILMINGTON, N. C, SUNDAY, MARCH 31, 1901.
QUO VADIS EASTER MONDAY.
Dramatization of Popslar Novel by That
Name Will Be Seen Here at Matinee
aad NIxht on April 28th.
No play within the history of the
modern stage has met with a greater
success than "Quo Vadis," a dramat
ization of the immortal novel bv that
name, and no organization has pro
duced this play in a more magnificent
manner than the E. J. Carpenter
Company, which will be seen at the
Opera House on Easter Monday, for
matinee and night performances.
The play is one that has stirred the
hearts of the Christian world, ir des
cribes in a graphic manner the life of
gan Rome during the reign of
Nero; the downfall of the Empire;
the burning of the immortal city, and
(he dawn of Christianity. It ia not
ny a strong sermon
u U I ur f
uniting dramatic interest, but a su
perb scenic spectacle as well.
In presenting "Quo Vadis" Mr.
Carpenter is not making an experi
ment rn the dramatio field. His com
pany made a most extraordinary suc
cess in this play last season, and comes
before the public this year with a
strongly augmented cast, elegant cos
tumes, new scenery and a play that bis
been weighed in the balance of pub
ic approval and found wanting in
nothing.
Seats will be on sale Thursday morn
ing at Gerken's at usual prices.
THE NATIONAL PIANIST
Qreatest of American Piano Virtuosi at
Y. M. C. A. Tuesday, April 29 th.
The manifestations of art are said
to be addressed only to two of the
human senses sight and hearing; to
the sight, painting, sculpture and
architecture; to the hearing, music
and poetry.
The role of music, it is said, is to
express witn incomparable xorce tne
state of the soul. The only art that
can transport one into an atmosphere
purely ideal and intellectual is, with
out doubt, music. Its bearings upon
human happiness will induce many to
hear the great Sherwood at the Y. M.
, A. April the 9th.
As a pianist he is said to be distin
guished and a genius of the broadest
wine. His work is said to be a colos
sal, unique, inimitable movement,
which must be contemplated with the
most respectful admiration, his con
ception vivid andyhis portrayal ade
quate.
The question) was asked in New
Yorkfat the M. T. N. A. Convention:
'Where will this man Sherwood
stop?" Delicacy, force, brilliancy or
style and endurance-are said to ba-bis.
One must hear Sherwood to appre
ciate the intensity of emotion that this
really great artist's playing produces.
From a purely artistic point of view it
is said to be ravishing to the supreme
degree, and as he is the national or
representative American pianist, the
Piano Recital Association ventures to
say that the seating capacity of the
auditorium will be taxed to the ut
most with the throng that is anxiouly
awaiting the coming of the renowned
artist.
AN EXCITING. FOX CHASE.

Wilder Atkinson's place in Brunswick
county. With material reinforce
ments from. CoL Murchison's and Mr.

The start was made at 4 A. M. and
the last chase ended about noon. Col.
Murchison and Mr. Swann returned to

Seacoast Railroad Salt.
Yesterday afternoon's Fayetteville

for 5. 000 damages was given to the
jury at 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The jury remained out all
night, and it was not until noon to

reached a verdict This verdict gave
the plaintiff five hundred dollars. The
defendant took an appeal to the Su
preme Court"
Wis Elephants.
The baby elephants, members of the
Famous Gentry Doe and Pony Show
this season, are said to be the brightest
specimens of their sort ever exhibited,
In fact it is said, they are capable of
going through their performance
without one word of command from
therinc master. Their part of the
programme lasts fifteen minutes and
comprises some of . the most difficult
acta ever attempted by dumb animals.
In addition to their brightness, they
are the most docile specimens -ever
seen. Very fond of children and as
playful as cats. They play many
jokes upon the dog and pony metn
bers of the Company, such as stealing
their feed, pulling the dogs' tails, and
things of that sort. They were im
ported direct from India by Prof.
Gentry, and nursed on bottles at his
farm in Indiana, until they were
strong enough to go on the road with
the Know. t

FIRE AT LONG CREEK.
Destroyed Qla Hease, Grist Mill aod Two
Stores Yesterday Afteraoon Tram
Railway Belnf Bailt.
Mr. 8. P. Taylor, timber agent of
the Angola Lumber Company, who
arrived in the city last evening on the
A, Sr. Y. train, told of a destruc
tive fire at Long Creek, Pender
county, which occurred yesterday
afternoon about 1 o'clock The gin
house, grist mill and store of Mr. W.
W. Larkins, Clerk of the Superior
Court of Pender county, was de
stroyed and a vacant store adjoining
belonging to Mr. J. F Bell was also
burned to the around. The loss of
Mr. Larkins is about $1,500 on the
gin house, grist mill and store room;
about $300 on goods thst were not
saved from the store, and about $250
on the vacant store belonging to Mr.
Bell. None of the-property was in
sured, policies on the same having
been recently made invalid by reason
of the insolvency of the Farmers'
Mutual Fire insurance Association.
The origin of the fire was the furnace
of the boiler of the ginning and grist
plant.

building a tram railway from Long
Creek about eight miles in the di
rection of Mr. A C. Ward's plantation

THE BASE BALL SEASON.
Advance Guard of WJImlntton's Team
WHI Arrive TodsyMr To-morrow.
Some General League Notes.
Before the middle of the week the
sturdy young fellows who will com
pose Wilmington's team- in the Vir
ginia-North Carolina Base Ball League,
will be on the home diamond and
ready for a hard practice two weeks
before opening of the season at Rich-n
mond with three games, beginning
April 15th. Manager Peschau on yes
terday forwarded transportation to the
several members of the team and they
are expected to report as soon after re
ceiving the same as possible. War
ren, of Newberry, S. C, will likely
be the first to report and there is a
probability that he may arrive this
evening or to-morrow morning. Then
will come Stafford, Foreman, Dent
Radcliffe and the others in quick suc
cession, so that it may be sai that the
entire" team will be in by Tuesday
evening.
Manager Peschau is very much
encouraged at having Richmond to
"begin upon." Her star pitcher is
Hooker, of last year's Wilmington
team and that fact does not strike
terrow to those who watched his
record here last year; in other words
Hooker is regarded as "easy fruit" by
the locals, and if Wilmington doesn't
get the three first games with Rich
mond, Manager Peschau will want to
know the reason why.
