ODD FELLOWS COLUMN.
Th Anniversary ef the Order ea
April the Mth, Is near at hand. Eighty
years age the Order that Is now a mil
Hon strong, had only Ave members.
Since April the 26th, 1819, when the
founders of the Order met and or
ganized their first lodge, It has Inltlat
ed over two million members and paid
out for their relief over seventy-five
million dollars.
Such letters as the one received from
Bro. J. A. Randall, the Secretary of
Aberdeen Lodge, on yesterday, makes
us feel glad. His closing sentence
reads: "Well, our Lodge Is overrun
with work all the time. Six on the
read and more waiting."
Mantoe may look out now. They had
notice of a joint meeting of "the three
lodges on Tuesday, April 26th, the an
niversary, and on Thursday evening
last Ruth Bebekah Lodge decided to
pay them a visit at the same time.
Make room for the sisters Maneo. They
are coming, too.
When the .Grand Lodge meets on
May 10th, it will have one very impor
tant matter, at least, to elajm Its at
tention, and that Is the chartering and
the organizing of a State Assembly of
the Rebekah Lodges in the State. If
we ever needed women's help it Is now.
If we expect to receive It we must
have a State organization.
The Wilmington Messenger furnishes
us the following Items from that
stronghold of Odd Fellowship:
'Tuesday, the 26th instant, will bathe
seventy-ninth anniversary of the Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows and the
six lodges of the order In this city,
Campbell "Encampment No. 1, Cape
Fear No. 2, Orion No. 67, Wilmington
No. 139. Hanover No. 146, and Letltla
Rebekah Lodge No. S, will celebrate
the day appropriately.
Letltla Rebekah Lodge No. t, are
soon to give a delightful entertain
ment, which will be participated In by
nearly two score of little folks and
others.
Rehearsals, under th direction of
Mrs. W. M. Hurst, are now being held
and the children are making fast pro
gress In mastering their parts la this
charming affair to be.
The nature of the entertainment, the
date for Its production and, In fact, the
full particulars, will be announced
later."
The Joint committee who have In
charge the entertainment of the Grand
Lodge, have decided to have the Or
phan children at the Home in Golda
boro to be present and render some
exercises during the session of the
Grand Lodge. The committee will ex
pect the families of the Order to take
them to their homes during their stay
In the city, and give them all a good
time. Remember brethren that those
are the children of our dead comrades,
and but for our care they might be
begging from door to door. The Wil
mington people who have had these
children three times among them say
they are the best children they ever
saw. Don't all speak at once, but
please let the committee know If you
will entertain one or more. They will
be in the city one night and nearly
two days.
Character Is what we are. Reputa
tion is what others think we are. Does
our character and reputation run par
alel. or do they diverge.
At this point there comes to every
one a serious thought, and especially
Is this true (6 those who have ob
served the lessons and the obligations
of an Odd Fellow.
The character which they voluntar
ily assume, should not be simply as
sumed. It should be a life work, a
principle, permeating every act and
thought dominating every emotion In
ortler that our reputation may be just
what our character . Is.
How else can we be true? A man
devoid of truth Is despicable. He Is
shunned, detested and despised. The
man of truth is the best and the
strongest man. He wins respect In
voluntarily. No one can do otherwise
than respect the man of truth even
though not In accord , or sympathy '
with him. Such men bless and purify
a community. Truth is eternal and
must live, but when character and re
putation are very wide apart there is
room to doubt whether there be truth
in the character. - How then can an
Odd Fellow be untruthful, either In
word or deed? He may claim to be
such, but does the character and the
reputation both show It?
Mrs, Bailie 9. Cotten arrived last
night from Raleigh. - She recites at

The Democracy of Wake county was

A SUPERB ORGANIZATION.

members of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and eighteen noted vocalists
of New York and Boston, we are
pleased to note Is meeting with great
success on his advance trip. They
re booked for the large cities such as
Atlanta. Nashville, Savannah. Knox-
11 le and other points, and are also on
the official programme of the Mecklen
burg Independence celebration at

larger cities, where there are large
auditoriums, the advance sales have
reached from three to four thousand
dollars. This is the finest organization
of this character even brought South,
and it Is to be regretted that Raleigh
has not the facilities for such a com
bination to appear here.
THE MIKADO.
The Sale of Seats Began Yesterday and
Was Large.
There was a rush yesterday at King's
drug store to secure seats for Monday
evening's performance of the Mikado.
The sale began at S o'clock, and In an
hour nearly half the seats were sold.
A notably One audience Is guaranteed.
Today the sale of seats begins for the
performance Tuesday night It should
be remembered that the boxes, which
will be very attractively decorated, arc
for sale prices $5 each for the lower
and $2.60 for the upper.
The extremely artistic . photographs
on views at King's of the members of
the cast of the "Mikado," also of the
chorus, and the girls who give the fan
dance and drill, and the tot who give
the baby dance and drill and sing the
nursery rhymes, alf attract much at
tention. The rehearsal tonight will be the final
one, and upon its entire success nat
urally much depends.
This morning at 10 o'clock the girls
the give the fan drill and the children
who are to give the baby dance and
drill and songs are to meet at the home
of Miss Fannie McPheeter on South
Dawson street for rehearsal.
Th "Mikado" is to be one of the
most pleasing things of the Easter sea
son. For its own sake it deserves a
great audience, and the noble charity
of which It is given In aid appeals U
all, so there la a double reason why the
Academy of Music should have not a
vacant seat at both of the perform
anees. I

CULLOM EXPECTS WAft.
He Scouted the Idea That the Insur
gents Would Permit Armistice.
By Telegraph to The Press-Visitor.
Washington. April 9. There were
few callers at the White House this
morning. Reports that the Queen Re
gent would sign a decree declaring
armistice In Cuba, to be followed by
independence, is unconfirmed in offi
cial quarters. Senator Cuilom, who
called at the State Department and at
the White House, said that he had
heard a rumor of the Queen' Inten
tions but he is not aware of any dis
patch on the subject received from
Spain within the last twenty four
hours. He suggested that armistice
could only be affected with the consent
of both parties anil scouted the Idea
that there might be a change of view
on the part of the insurgents.
WHERE THE STORY CAME FROM.
The Correspondent of the Associated
Press Was Badly Frightened.
The fake tale gotten out by the As
sociated Press Wednesday night that
a riot was in progress in Havana ori
ginated in the nervous Havana corre
spondent of that Press Association.
This Individual, it seems, while sit
ting In the window of a Havana hotel
had the misfortune to accidentally dis
charge a self-acting pistol which re
posed in his hip pocket. Imagining
from the explosion that some Spaniard
had fired at him, he yelled for the
police, and making a made rush for
the telegraph cabled to his association
that the Ameicans there had been at
tacked by the Spaniard's. The F;ian
lsh police soon found out the mistake
of the young lunatic, but not so the
American press.
The "great American dailies" her
alded the news far and wide by "ex
tras" and then had to deny It next
morning. The Associated Press should
post Its correspondent. Wilmington
Review.
