OUR TWO LOD0E5.
Knights of Pythias Have CI r eat Time
In Greensboro.
The two lodges Knights of Pythias
of this city, Greensboro Lodge No. 0
and Guilford Lodge No. 69, jointly en
tertalned the district meeting last
night. There were a large number of
representatives present from the lodges
composing the district and with a
goodly number of local members there
was a large attendance in castle hall
The largest delegations were from
Lexicgton, Winston-Salem and Bur
lington. One exceedingly regrets ble
fealure was the Winston-Salem breth
ren had to leave to catch their train
( which was held for them until 11 p.m. )
before the banquet. A number of
those from Burlington and Graham
also left before this last; and enjoyable
event came off.
The program prepared was carried
out in a most interesting scanner. The
address of welcome by D. Schenck, Jr.,
and the response by Grand Chancellor
Thos. S. Franklin were eplcy, well-
timed and to the point. Work in the
first degree was exemplified by mem
bers from Charlotte wh accompanied
the Grand Chancellor. Two appli
cants took this degree and were well
ploased with the beattiful and impres
sive ceremony. One candidate topic
the Third rank, th! work being given
by the team from Lexington in a fin
ished, masterly manner.
Lite in the evening when the district
meeting adjourned all present were in
vited to the banquet at the McAdoo
House. The tables were specially ar
ranged for the occasion and were
aden with a bounteous feast of temp'
ng viands and with ay petit-s whetted
by the long meeting full justice was
done to the elegant ipread. Divine
blessing was invoked by Grand Prel
ate Robinson, of North Wilkesboro,
amid a mc st respectful silence, becom-
ng such a knightly gathering after
which the scene was one of brilliance,
laughter and a full measure of enjoy
ment
Af er the courses were all gone
through ( which by the way r fleeted
great credit on the enterprising mana
gers of the MeAdoo ) short speeches
were made by a number of the breth
ren, among them being a charming re
cital by Bro. Robert Jordan, the elo
cutionist, whose presence and assis
tance was enjoyed and appreciated.
The closing or "goodnight" speech
was made by Col. W. J. Woodard, of
Wilmlrgton, a noble Pythian and a
grand man. About one o clock the
members and their guests separated.
Those present will long remember
and In after years will revert with pe
culiar pleasure to the district meeting
n Greensboro, April 10, 1899. We
hope to see all those noble, jolly and
good-natured Pythian faces in Greens
boro again and assure them, every
one, that the latch -string will always
be found hanging on the outside.
A Card.
It was not my intention to give any
farewell concert, but the Orchestra
members were so enthusiastic about
DDearlnr once more In public before
acceDtlnt? my resignation that I con
sented, providing they would do the
ncidental work.
This has been more faithfully done
than I ever knew It before, and I be
lieve that the res jit will be the most
popular concert given in Greensboro
n many a day.
Over fifty people will take part and
the music is of a class that is sure to
please.
In leaving Greensboro, home (and
it will always be home to me), I am
Imply following the dictates of a con
rictlon that has grown In me for sev
eral years past that my special lines
of work require a broader field.
Miss Laura Brockmann will continue
her work In your midst.
I sincerely thank the people of
Greensboro for their confidence,
friendship and patronage in the under
takings in which I have been engaged. -The
music school will continue as it
is until vacation.
Yours truly,
Chas. J. Brockmann.

WORK AT THE IRON FURNACE.
Shipment of Ore From Chatham.
Will Begin ilonday.
A Telegram reporter visited the Em
pire Iron and Steel Works and from
the busy appearance of the place one
would judge that Mr. Coble Is not
amiss in stating that blasting will be
begun on the 20th Inst. Two of the
arge boilers were hot and furnishing
steam for the large engine. The whis
tle performed its first work when it
dismissed the workman at noon today.
The present engine is 900 horse power.

has been ordered and will be installed
as soon as it arrives.
There are four large boilers, each
with a capacity of 300 pounds of steam.
When the furnace is put in operation
the boilers will be heated by gas fur
nished by the combustion of the mate
rial In the furnace.
The Atlantic and Yadkin work train
force are at work today on the spur
track lead'ng to the iron works and
cars will run over It probably to
morrow. Mr. Noble says the ship
ment of ore from Ore Hill will begin

IN MAGISTRATES COURTS.
Cases of More Of "Less Importance
Tried or-Postponed.
'Squire Pritchett 'yesterday after
noon tried the case of State vs. T. O.
Tuttle, of Durham, and bound the de-
fendent over to court. Mr. Tuttle was
indicted upon complaint of J. H. West
who charges thai the defendent, on or
about December 1st '98 wrote a libel
ous communication to the Bill Board
Journal, charging Mr. West with!
swindling him. The defendant was
represented by Ex-Judge John Gray
Bynum and Z. V. Taylor, and the
state by D. Schenck Jr.
The case of Weld on Smith, charged
with assault with deadly weapon, was
to have been tried by 'Squire Pritch
ett this morning, but was transferred
to 'Squire Eckle's court and postponed
until Saturday.
The case of State vs. Pleas. Goley,
charged with aidieg in the want n de
struction of the trees on Summit ave
nue, came up before 'Squire Eckle
yesterday afternoon, but was postpon
ed until 3 o'clock this afternoon. The
defendant claimed that he could not
get witnesses from Graham before that
time.
SIMPSON-SHIELDS SHOE CO.
Business of the Company In '98 Com
pared With Other Firms.
The people of Greensboro know that
the business of the Simpson-Shields
Shoe Company has been phenomenal,
but a few words now and then about
an important business in the city, are
not amiss. Since they began business
about two years ago," their unparalell-
ed growth- has not only surprised the
people but has also surprised their
own hoDes. The following facts taken
from the ' ' Shoe and Leather Reporter
Annual" show something of what the
company has done: Wilmington has
two wholesale shoe houses, both of
which have been established for several
years; Newbern has one wholesale
shoe house, which has also been estab
lished for more than three years. The
aggregate business of the three houses
n 1898, was 10,10? cases. The sales of
the Simpson-Shields Shoe Compa- y
established not quite two years) for
the same year, amounted to 9,080
cases.
North Carolina's shoe business
gained 25 per cent.- more than any
other southern state, the per cent, of
all except North Carolina, Virginia
and Tennessee losing.
Of the 24,000 oases of shoes shipped
nto North Carolina from Boston dur
ng the year nearly half came to the
Greensboro company and it must be
remembered that a large amount of
the 24,000 were shipped direct to re
tailers.
A COSTLY BLAZE.
The flagnlflcent Mansion of W. K.
VanderUlt Burned.
By Wire to the Telegram.
Oakdale. L. I., April 11 Wm. K.
Vanderbilt's magnificent country resi
dence, "Idle Hour," was totally des
troyed by fire shortly after midnight.
Not a wall was left standing. All the
costly paintings, statuary, valuable
bric-a-brac and priceless treasures,
costing hundreds of .thousands of dol
lars, went up in smoke.
Mr. Vanderbilt and Ills young bride
made their escape from the burning
mansion and watched the flames stand
ing npon the lawn.
Rip Van Winkle.
Mr. Samuel W. Glenn was seen at
the theatre in two performances yester
day in Rip Van Winkle. The per
formance last night was a meritorious
one and deserved a better audience.
The interpretation which Mr. Glenn
gave of Irving's famous character was
natural, refined and in every way ex
cellent. It showed careful study of
detail and an excellent conception of
the role. Bis enunciation like that
of most of the actors of the old school
to which Mr. Glenn belongs was per
fect, and his movements were graceful.
Mr. Wm. H. Bokee, who appeared
as Derrick von Slauss, gave a splen
did, virile portrayal. The other ohar
acters were fairly well taken. Julia
and Josie Rooney, two bright little
children, as Hendrick and Lorena.
were delightfully charming. They sang
a pretty little song and danced grace
fully. Morning News, Savannah,
Ga., February 23rd.
Jlr. Cartland Grows Weaker.
The condition of Mr. Cartland grows
gradually weaker and all hope for his
recovery has been given up. For
the last 24 hours he has been grad
ually sinking and his death has been
momentarily expected. His weakness
now is such that he has not a fighting
chance and the end is near. Hundreds
of anxious friends are praying that
the good man's life may be spared,
for in him the weak will lose a staunch
and ready friend and the city one of
her noblest and best citizens.

NORTH CAROLINA SOCIETY
At Washington Is Steadily Grow
ing In Numbers.
THE RICHMOND CONFERENCE.
To Be field Next Month Consider
able Interest Aattached To It.
Other Interesting Notes.
Special to Thb Telbgbam.
Washington, April 11 The North
Carolina Society of this city" will give
a ball Friday night at Confederate
Veteran's Hall. From eight to nine
o'clock in the evening a reception will
be held, after which refreshments will
be served. Among distinguished North
Carolinians who -have been invited
to attend the reception and ball is Col.
Julian S. Carr, the well known tobac
co man. The North Carolina Societv
is composed of members of the North
Carolina contingent at Washington,
and among its roles are many promi
nent representatives, government of
ficials and others who are residing in
the city. The ball to be given Friday
night is the first ball to be given by
the society and will nark the close of
the Lenten season.
Mr. Frank Little, a well known
North Carolinian, who has beeh secre
tary of the North Carolina Society,
will remove from this city having re
cently been assigned to a mission un
der the United States government in
one of the western states of the union.
Next Friday night before the reception
a short business session will be held
for the purpose of chosing his succes
sor. A gentleman, a member of the North
Carolina Society, said yesterday that
the organization is steadily growing
n numbers, and is becoming very
popular among North Carolina people
n the city either permanently, or tem-
porarllly sojourning in the city. At
this season of the year, after the ad
journment of congress, as a rule or
ganizations' of this character dwindle
n numbers, and the members lose their
interest more or less, but the North
Carolina organization has been kept
up, will be kept up during the summer,
and is becoming- stronger every day.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who
has been in Washington for some time
in attendance upon the sessions of the
Industrial Labor commission will be
in Washington for several days.
Since his return to the city the sena
tor has been busy with matters before
the executive departments in which his
constituents are interested. During
his stay here the senator is stopping
at the Metropolitan Hotel, his family
having returned to Virginia and his
residence here being closed.
SenatorDaniel is opposed to the pro
posed primary plan for the selection
of a candidate for the United States
senate, and'his friends here say that
he will not give the scheme his sup
port, looking upon it. as a movement
in opposition to the re-election of Sen
ator Martin. Senator Daniel in the
last Virginia state democratic conven
tion opposed the plan submitted for a
primary for the selection of senatorial
candidates, as it was proposed at that
time to adopt the South Carolina sys
tem. It was held then by the senator
that the plan adopted, and in vogue
in South Carolina, is cumbersome and
expensive, and would entail a great
cost on the democratic party in Vir
ginia if adopted. Friends of the pri
mary now say that' if the plan for a
primary is agreed to some other sys
tem besid s that adopted by South
Carolina will be agreed to.
Interest is attached to the conference
to be held at Richmond Virginia next
month, because it is believed that if
the primary system is adopted in that
state, it will eventually be extended to
other southern states, until the whole
south accepts the plan for popular
election of United States senators.
People from North Carolina, Georgia
and other southern states say that if
the Virginia movement Is successful,
the plan will be extended to other
states.
