TITANIC SINKS; 1,400 DROWNED GREATEST MARINE DISASTER IN HISTORY. Giant Liner Strikes an Iceberg And Plunges to the Bottom in Less Than an Hour After. VOL. 28. NO. 16. TITANIC S 1,400 D GREATEST M TER IN H Giant Liner Strike Plunges to the Than an H New York.—The White Star liner Titanic, the world's greatest steamship has gone down some 500 miles off Cape Race, with 630 of her 1,300 passengers and her full crew of 860 men on board. That the greatest catastrophe in marine history has occurred to a vessel of their line is admitted by the officials of the White Star Steamship company in New York. The liner Carpathia, the first vessel to rescue all of the Titanic, rescued all the Titanic's crew, which were 670 persons most of them women and children. Many women and children, however, have perished. When the Carpathia reached the ill-fated vessel no sign of life was to be seen anywhere, the mountainous ocean swells giving much evidence to the stupendous disaster. Early reports stated that all the passengers and the crew of the Titanic had been taken off by the Allen liner's Virginian and the Parisian, and the Carpathia, but no message received here discredited. No hope is held out at the offices of the White Star line that any man on board has survived to tell the story of The Steamship Titanic. the final sinking of the levitian, although some of the women in the boats may have witnessed the sinking. Only by a miracle, it is pointed out, could any person who stood by the ship escape the great vessel's powerful suction as she sank to the bottom. The Titanic carried the most notable list of passengers ever borne across the Atlantic by one vessel. Homecoming American tourists postponed their sailing weeks ago so as to ride the new wonder of the season on her malden voyage. Dispatches state that the Titanic went down at 2:20 o'clock Monday morning. The delay in the transmission of the news is attributed to the fact that all dispatches have been subject to difficult relays. The collision of the Titanic with an iceberg is now known to have been a headon crash that occurred while the liner was proceeding little less than her best speed. She was a day ahead of her schedule and it is considered probable that an attempt to make a record-breaking voyage was the crew when she entered the ice field. Her forward plates were completely wrecked. A gaping wound, opening below her water line and letting the water into her forward compartments. In the meantime the lifeboats were manned and into them were placed as many of the women and children as they could hold. The boats were put off while there was no time to save the Titanic after until much later. Later and more conservative estimates tell of great bravery on the part of the men passengers. There was a minimum of disorder. John Jacob Astor, who, with his bride, was returning from their long honeymoon aboard, saw his bride placed in a life boat safely away. Col. Astor was drowned. The work of setting the lifeboats away, the work of allaying the fears of the great crowd of passengers, was the work of keeping the pumps in operation and the engines throbbling—these tasks and countless others were directed by Captain Smith, the vener- Faithful messenger Rewarded.

THE APPEAL. able commander of the Titanic, and before her advent the commander of the Olympic who displayed almost superhuman power of mind and body at the world's most horrible sea disaster, crowned his long and honorable service on the high seas. A wireless message from the Virginia states that the occupants of the boats which she picked up have been rescued and sent to Carpathia which is proceeding to New York. The Titanic struck the iceberg at 1:25 Sunday night and foundered at 2:00 Monday morning. At daybreak the Carpathia arrived on the scene and her passengers and crew brought the small boats with their precious human cargo into New York. The boats which rushed to the Titanic's aid found only the scattered lifeboats and a dismal scene of wreckage. "Sinking by the night and women are being rushed into the lifeboats," were the last words that sputtered into the wireless room of the Virginian from the Titanic. All through the night and until her wireless station silenced over hundreds of miles of snow on the face of the giant liner flashed the mystic and magic "S. O. S," the world wide cry of distress on the ocean. Every wireless operator within range of the doomed vessel dropped other messages to locate and many relayed the fatal message to the world. The collision occurred in latitude 41.46 North and length 50.14 West, 1.150 miles east of New York and 450 miles south of Cape Race, the most westly point of Newfoundland. Contrary to earlier dispatches there were no injuries to the vessel struck. The weather was clear and calm. Almost as soon as the Virginian picked, up the distress signal it was recorded by the operator on the Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship, and next to her the largest vessel afloat. This was at midnight. At that hour the Olympic was 200 miles from New MRS. JOHN JACOB ASTOR. York enroute to Southampton. The Olympic forged ahead under full steam, but wireless dispatches indicate that she reached the scene too late to be of any assistance. The Baltic, famous for her rescue of passengers of the steamer Republic and for her Jack Bins, who sat aloft and braved death to summon help—was the next ship to pick up the brief story of the Titanic's plight. She was on her way from New York to Lifepool, but turned about and put on full speed toward the Titanic's position. The Parisian, according to her messages reached the flotilla of rescue ships shortly after the Baltic. A wireless message from Captain Haddock confirmed the fears of the White Star Line officials that all but the 670 women and children who escaped in the small boat from the $10,000,000 steamship had perished. This message was withheld, but enough information was taken in an appalling account of the catastrophe. Not until Captain Haddock flashed "Horrible disaster — all Authorities of Alicante Start Project by Subscribing $5,000. Alicante, Spain — The provincial authorities have headed a subscription with $5,000, the purpose which is to present King Alfonso with palace here. The edifice is to be of Arabic architecture.

FINAL SCENE IS ENACTED IN AW FUL TRAGEDY OF THE SEA. Rescued Passengers Tell Heart-Breaking Tales of the Crash of Steamer and Iceberg Last Sunday Night. New York, April 19—Lifted from the gates of death, the 745 survivors of the Titanic were landed by the Carpathian coast and rescued them two hours and a half later. Great White Star liner hurled itself great at iceberg last Sunday night. Disfigured by calamity and misery and oppressed by awful sorrow, the women and children and the few men who escaped from the world's greatest sea disaster are in better physical condition than the most optimistic had hoped for. Out of the great company that waited for hours in bitter cold among the grinding bergs, many of them thinly covered, many hurt by the collision which destroyed their ship, few needed the ministrations of physicians when they put their feet on land in sight of the vast crowd that had been waiting in almost unbearable anxiety. Many, it is true, were nervous and hysterical from an experience that had left the world void and empty for them, but and thousands thanked God for it as they bore the majority of the sad and bereaved company in the body. Only one of the Titanic's died while the Carpathia was driving through fors and storms to this port. Four of the Titanic people had perished trying to get aboard the Carpathia and another Titanic passenger lost his life by the flogging of a boat. One woman, a second cabin passenger, who was landed last night, was suffering from a broken arm. But the general good condition of the hundreds so dramatically saved from death was a cause of inexpressible pain for the hundreds who saw them land. There were 730 dead it turned out, for the ministers of death who with coffins waited at the dock. The Carpathia reported that there were 710 saved out of a passenger list which the White Star line figured at 2,180, making a loss of 1,470 lives. The Titanic's passengers say there were 745 rescued out of a passenger list of 2,240. The list of names furnished on the Carpathia on its arrival shows 188 first class cabin savings, 115 in the second cabin, 178 third class, and 206 of the total of 687 passengers. A woman heard from the ship's doctor that the passengers and 210 of the crew had been saved and that 39 women lost their husbands. Six of these were brides. The world's annals has provided more intense and dramatic moments than when all that was left of the great company that sailed so gayly by the Titanic appeared on the Onward pier. It was with difficulty that the tongues of many were loosened to speak of the scenes of agony and fear that fell over the Titanic's peaceful company when it became swiftly known that the ship must go down. Some told haltingly with dread still frozen in their eyes of men who strove and struggled against women for the life boats and of officers shooting them down. One woman saw an officer two men, she said, and other passengers scolled how officers had stood with drawn pistols while the women and children were being guided into the boats. No one seemed to know the fate of the Titanic's captain, E. J. Smith. There was a story that he had committed suicide, but the Titanic's passengers did not know that it was true. Many of them had heard shots fired. They believed some of the firing was done to warn back steerage passengers. For the Titanic's officers and crew the rescued seemed to have nothing but praise. The men acted calmly and cool in the face of certain foundering, the report brought here by the rescued. The unhappy company so marvelously torn from the grip of the sea was received solemnly and with remarkable quiet by the enormous crowd which gathered near the Cunard pliers and by the few sailors who had a relation or friendship or merciful business to the interior of the pler. There was no cheering, no the pler. There was no cheering, no upraising of voices in salute of the living for the thought of the dead was in the minds of all onlookers. The CANCEL OCEAN TRIPS. Winnipig People Foreign Journey Abroad, Followings Marriage Disaster, Winnipipe, April 19—Terrified by the fate that overtook the Titanic, warranted by the shipping agents as proof against all hazards of the sea, a number of Winnipipe people are cancelling steamship reservations made before the catastrophe. A local steamship is not connected directly with the tragedy, is losing a lot of eastbound business from Western Canada. depression of death was on the wailing men and women. The crowds were held back two blocks from the pier on the north, east and south. Everything was done to expedite the passage of the rescued ones and make their transfer from pier to homes or hotels as easy and as comfortable as possible. Within the pier shed were hundreds who had the keenest personal interest in the survivors. From a score of passengers came the story of their awful experience. The great liner was plunging through a comparatively pleased sea on the surface of which there was much mushy ice and here and there a number of comparatively harmless looking floes. The night was clear and stars visible. Chief officer Murdock was in charge of the bridge. The first intimation of the presence of the iceberg that he received was from the lookout in the crew's nest. They were so close that it was practically impossible to avoid a collision with it. The first officer did what other unstarted and alert commanders would have done under similar circumstances, that is he made an effort by going full speed ahead on his starboard propeller and reversing his port propeller simultaneously throwing his helm over to make a rapid turn and clear the berg. These maneuvers were not successful. He succeeded in preventing him from crashing into the ice cliff, but nearly the entire length of the great ship on the starboard side was ripped. The speed of the Titanic estimated to be at least twenty-one knots, was so terrific that the knifelike edge of the icebergs protruding under the sea cut through her like a can-opener. The shock was almost imperceptible. The first officer did not apparently realize that the great ship had received its death wound and none of the passengers it is believed had the slightest suspicion that anything more than a usual minor accident had happened. Hundreds who had gone to their berths and were asleep were not awakened by the vibration. Mr. and Mrs. Astor were in their room and saw the ice vision flash by the gentle shock and supposed that nothing out of the ordinary opened. They were both dressed and came on deck leisurely. It was not until the ship began to take a heavy list to starboard that a tremor of fear pervaded it. The crew had been called to clear away the life boats of which there were twenty-four which were collapsible. The boats that were lowered on the port side of the ship touched the water without capsizing. Some of the others lowered to starboard, including one collapsible were capsized. All hands on the collapsible boats practically went to pieces were rescued by other boats. Sixteen boats in all got away safely. It was even then the general impression that the ship was all right and there is no doubt that, that was the belief of even some of the officers. At the lowering of the boats the officers superintending it were armed with revolvers but there was no necessity for using them as·there was nothing in the nature of a panic and no man made an effort to get into a boat while the women and children were being put aboard. As the ship began to settle to starboard heeling at an angle of nearly forty-five degrees those who had believed it was all right to stick by the boat were thrown down and a few jumped into the sea. These were followed immediately by others and in a few minutes there were scores swimming around. Nearly all of them were life preservers. Under instructions from officers and men in charge, the life boats were rowed a considerable distance from the ship herself in order to get away from the possible suction that would follow the foundering. The marvelous thing about the disappearance was so little suction as to be barely visible. We were in the water where the boats were floating. There was ample time to launch all boats before the Titanic went down, as it was two hours and twenty minutes afloat. So confident were all hands that she had not sustained a mortal wound that it was not until 12:15 a.m. or thirty-five minutes after the berg was encountered, that the boats were lowered. Hundreds of the crew and large majority of the officers in the ship had still managed to ship to the last. It was evident after there were several explosions, which doubtless were the boilers blowing up, that she had but a few minutes more of life. The ship broke in half amidship and almost simultaneously the after half and the forward half sank, the forward half vanishing bow first and the other half stern first. Duke of Connaught Gives $500.

GRACE WENT DOWN WITH SHIP DRIVEN TO DECK AND PUMPED WITH WAVE WHICH SUB- MERGED VESSEL. FLOATED TO SURFACE Relates Terrible Experience He and 29 Others Had—Says Gun Was Used to Preserve Order, but No One Was Shot. New York, April 13—Col. Archibald Bacle, U. S. A., the last man saved, went down with the vessel, but was picked up. He was met by his daughter who had arrived from Washington and landed, law H. Fabricius. Colonel Bacle told a remarkable story of personal hardship and denied emphatically the reports that there had been any panic on board. He praised in the highest terms the behavior of both the passengers and crew, and paid a high tribute to the heroism of the women passengers. "Mrs. Isidor Straus," he said, "went to her death because she would not desist her husband. Although he pleaded for her to place in the boat, she steadily fled, and when the ship settled at the head the two were engulfed by the wave that swept over her." Colonel Gracie told of how he was driven to the topmost deck when the ship settled and was the sole survivor after the wave that swept her, just before her final plunge had passed. Jumped With Wave. "I jumped with the wave," said he, "just as often have jumped with the backpack at the seashore. By good great luck I managed grasp the brass railings at the deck above, and I hung on by might and main. When the ship plunged down I was forced to let go and I was swirled around and around for what seemed to be an interminable time. Eventually I came to the surface to find the sea a mass of tangled wreckage. "Luckily, I was unhurt, and casting about, managed to seize a wooden gating浮场 nearby. When I had recovered my breath I discovered a camouflage and took a lifebelt which had floating on my name I did not learn was struggling toward it from some wreckage to which he clung. I cast off and helped him to get onto the raft and we then began the work of rescuing those who had jumped into the sea and were floundering in the water. "Thirty on the Raft. "When dawn broke, there were 30 of us on the raft, standing knee deep in the icy water, and afraid to move lest the shaky craft he overturned. Several unfortunate, beumped and half dead, on two made an effort to reach us but we had no way. Had we made any effort to save them we all might have perished. "The hours that elapsed before we were picked up by the Carpathia were the longest and most terrible that I ever spent. Practically without any sensation of feeling, because of the icy water, we were almost dropping from fatigue. We were afraid to turn around to look to see whether we were seen by passing craft and some fusing in fasting an astern passed the word that we were coming up like a steamer was coming up. One of the men became hysterical under the strain. The rest of us, too, were nearing the breaking point." KERFOOT ACCEPTS Dakota Wesleyan President to Come to Hamline University. Hamline, Minn., April 19—Dr. Samuel Kertfoot, president of Dakota Wesleyan university of Mitchell, S. D., has the presidency of Hamline university, to succeed Dr. George H.

Greenville, Miss., April 19—Flood waters rushing through a rapidly widening breach in the Mississippi river dike near the town of Beulah, Miss., are spreading over the fertile dunes.

Minneapolis, April 19—Robert Esterley, manager in Minneapolis of the life department of the Travelers' Insurance company, has received a telegram stating that the net loss to the company resulting from the Titanic disaster will greatly exceed those of any previous calamity with which the Travelers' had been concerned. Accumulated Travelers' insurance company had over $1,000,000 in insurance at risk on the Titanic passengers and the money will be paid at once. $2.40 PER YEAR. MRS. ASTOR TELLS OF WRECK LEFT THE TITANIC ON ONE OF THE LAST LIFEBOATS. Still Hopes That Her Husband Will Eventually Be Found Alive Somewhere. New York, April 19—While utterly exhausted from her experiences, Mrs. John Jacob Astor was declared by Nicholas Biddle, a trustee of the Astor estate, to be in no danger whatever. He was, however, had given orders that neither Mr. Astor nor her maid, who was saved with no permitted to talk about the disaster. On landing from the Carpathia, the young bride, widowed by the Titanic's sinking, told members of her family what she could recall of the circumstances of the disaster. Of how Colonel Astor met his death, she had no definite conception. She recalled, she thought, that in the confusion as she was about to be put into one of the boats the colonel was standing by her side. After Astor, the Biddle recried her narrative, she had no clear recollection of the happenings until the boats were well clear of the sinking steamer. Mrs. Astor, it appears, left in one of the last boats which got away from the ship. It was her belief that all the women who wished to go had then been taken off. Her impression was that the boat she left in had room for at least fifteen more persons. She must for some reason, which as she recalled, was not now understand, did not seem to be at all anxious to leave the ship. Almost every one dazed. The chief steerage steward of the Titanic, who came in on the Carpathia, says that he saw John Jacob Astor standing by the life ladder as the passengers were being embarked. StUl. Hopes for Husband he embarked. His wife was beside him, the steward said. The colonel left her to go to the pursuer's office for a moment and that was the last seen of him. $50,000 IS COLLECTED. Contributions Pour in at Call of Mayor Gaynor. New York, April 19.—The relief fund started by Mayor Gaynor in response to a cable from the lord mayor of London and the fund of the Women's Relief committee had hardly been announced before contributions began to pour in. Before the day was over over $25,000 had been received at the mayor's office and between $12,000 and $15,000 at Lexington avenue, the residence of Abram S. Hewitt. In addition to this, nearly $7,000 was collected by newspapers, making about $50,000 raised during the day from various sources. The largest individual subscription was that of J. P. Morgan & Co. This firm sent a check for $10,000 as soon as it was learned that the mayor had started a fund. Andrew Carnegie gave $5,000 and there were several subscriptions of $1,000 each. The promptest emergency work was that of a special committee from the New York office exchange, which brought to the pier at night a box containing $20,000 in cash for immediate distribution. A great part of this fund will be used for the third class passengers. Scores of these immigrants were coming to this country with just enough money to meet the immigration requirements. Having lost all they had, these people are dependent upon this money for their start in this country, or for their return to Europe. The distribution to the third class passengers will not be made until the trained charitable workers have made an investigation and ascertained their requirements. Oregon Primaries Today.

Boyd, who has been on a trip to Panama and the Canal Zone, relates an incident which shows that carrying American civilization around the world the Caucasian American has three things which he always carries with him—religion, strong drink and race prejudice. "Stepping back to the depot, we met one sight that seemed to be familiar in the Southern states, and that was four plainly-written signs put up in large gold letters as follows: 'For white men, for white women only. 'For colored men, for colored women only.' Here we stopped and wondered. Getting in conversation with an old gentleman standing by the side of the depot, we asked him how long he had lived in Colon; he said forty years. We asked him the meaning of the sign; he asked us where we were from, and we told him from the States. 'Ah!' said he, 'you ought not to be a stranger to this sign. Did you not know,' he said, 'that the American Caucasian are very religious and wherever they go they carry Protestant religion, whiskey and beer, and race prejudice? These three things must always follow the American Caucasian, and he plants them in whatever land he enters. Protestant religion, strong drink and race prejudice are the three things that the American white man must have.'" The most gigantic marine disaster in history, the sinking of the Titanic early Monday morning, has filled the civilized world with sorrow and horror. It proves the fallacy of "unsinkable (?)" ships just as several horrible fires showed the fallacy of fireproof buildings. It also showed how the safe-guarding of human lives is so frequently almost overlooked in the desire for luxury, elegance and speed in common carriers in this get-rich-quick age. And now that the horse has escaped we will see all sorts of attempts to close the stable door, and laws will be passed which, if compiled with, another such disaster can- M. H.

And, while the whole world is lauding the men on the ship for their heroism in their "Women and children first" martyrdom, we can claim a few of the heroes, as the Afro-American must have been represented, as he generally is, in everything in this country. And though the daily press has made no special mention of him, we know he was there, and that he died like the other men. And we shed tears to his memory as well as to the men of other nationalities who died with him. And when in the last day the sea gives up its dead, he, like the others, will come into his crown of glory. Under the heading, "Interesting People," one of our daily contemporaries tells a story that is a complete refutation of several allegations of the shortcomings of the Afro-American, viz: "James Elliott, an Afro-American, believed by his relatives to have been about 101 years old, died a short time ago at his home in Binghamton, N. Y. He was a slave on a plantation near Dundee, N. C., when the Civil war broke out. He escaped by the "underground railroad," and made his way to Great Bend, 15 miles east of Binghamton, which was the nearest station on the route to Canada at that time. He did not attempt to go farther. He soon began to acquire property. At the age of 60 years he began to learn to read and write and became a lover of good books. He amassed a considerable fortune, which was invested mostly in real estate." As a matter of fact, there is very little, if any, difference between the Afro-Americans and whites, except in the matter of opportunity given to the Afro-Americans, when it comes to the "making good" by the latter. Give the Afro-American a fair, equal chance and he will show that he is made out of the very same stuff that all other men are made of.

It is to be hoped that the seed thus sown will bring a lot of the self-asserted "superior race" to the knowledge of the fact that: "Of one blood God made all the nations of the earth"; that: "God is no respecter of persons," and that Christ says: "Love thy neighbor as thyself," then they will cease to do evil and learn to do well. To be suspected is equivalent to being proven guilty, in the south, where the two principals are a black man and a white woman. This week Thomas Miles of Shrevesport, La., was arrested charged with having written improper letters to a white woman, he was dismissed because positive proof was lacking. Yet the same night a mob took him to the city limits, hung him on a tree and riddled his body with bullets. We very often wonder how these murderous colorphobists hope to escape the penalty of breaking one of the Ten Commandments, which reads: "Thou shalt not kill."

Matthews, a prominent Afro-American lawyer of Boston, has just been appointed Assistant U. S. District Attorney at that city. This is the place formerly held by Hon. William H. Lewis, who was appointed by President Taft as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and some credit for the appointment of Mr. Matthews must be given to Mr. Lewis, for he suggested that Attorney General Wickersham that it would be the proper thing to do.

H. McDonald, of Pilgrim Baptist church, and H. P. Jones, of St. James A. M. E. church, exchanged pulits last Sunday morning. Both delivered very powerful sermons to very large audiences. Mrs. J. H. Sherwood, Misses May Williams, Lenora Cox, Pearl Duncan and Helen Covington have been employed this week by the Ramsey County Colored Democratic League to address envelopes containing campaign literature which is being sent to the voters. It has been found, after careful investigation, that the alleged bold robberies that have been committed recently, according to the daily papers, did not occur at all, and these false reports were made for the purpose of discrediting the police force for political purposes. E. A. Moynihan was a passenger on a Pullman sleeper on the N. P. road Sunday, of which J. W. Scott was porter. Moynihan claims to have lost $70 and had Scott arrested charged with stealing the money. The case was called in the police court Monday, but was continued. Of course every voter who wants the right man in the right place will vote for Herbert P. Keller for mayor of St. Paul. He is onto the job and made good, but don't to vote at the same time for the rest of the candidates on the Republican ticket. They are all good ones. Every voter should get one of the booklets issued, by the Republican campaign committee giving "Some Reasons Why You Should Vote a Second Term to Mayor Herbert P. Keler"—"The Man on the Job." They may be obtained at headquarters, 414 Germania Life building. Dr. Valdo Turner left last Sunday evening for a visit to Nashville and other points in Tennessee. He will stop in Chicago on his return to attend the meeting of the "National Association for the Uplift of Colored People," where he will represent the Twin City Protective League. A committee from the Twin City Protective League called on Archbishop Ireland yesterday to request him to preach a sermon against lynching. His Grace said he would not be in the city on April 28, but he would be glad to deliver an address on that subject at some hall at a future date. Peter J. Quint is again a candidate for constable at large on the Republican ticket. He has held the same office for years and has made good. He was at one time a member of the police force, but that was a long time ago. He has always been a faithful worker for the party and will doubtless be elected. He solicits your vote. Mr. F. L. McGhee will leave the city next Saturday to attend the meeting of the "National Association for the Uplift of Colored People" at Chicago.

French, her sister, who was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Alston, arrived in the city last Sunday morning for the purpose of accompanying her home. She found her sister greatly improved, and, after visiting friends in Minneapolis and Stillwater, the ladies returned to Chicago Tuesday evening. Despite the illness of Mrs. French, both she and her sister enjoyed meeting their many old-time friends here. The many friends in St. Paul of Rev. J. C. Anderson, foremost pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, will be pleased to learn that on Easter Sunday he dedicated his new Quinn Chapel, on Chestnut street, near Ninth, Louisville, Ky. Bishop T. C. Shaffer preached the dedicatory sermon. The Knights Templar held their Easter service there in the afternoon and the choir had a grand song service in the evening. Large crowds attended all the services. During the day over $2,000 were raised. On Thursday of last week Henry Binford, while riding uptown, had a little altercation with a street car conductor about the fare. When he went downtown he caught the same conductor, who called a policeman and had Binford arrested, charging him with threatening to cut him with a razor. The case was called before Judge Finehout Monday and Binford was dismissed. Judge Finehout stated that policemen have no legal right to be with a woment for offenses not felonious unless they see the offense committed. The case was one in which color prejudice was the cause of the trouble. Binford did not refuse to pay his fare and he did not have a razor. The Odd Fellows' Reception. The largest and swellest social function of the year was the complimentary reception given by Mars C. Lodge and st. Paul Patriarchy, 114, in honor of Odd Fellows' Supreme Court, at Bowlby hall last Tuesday night. The hall was very beautifully decorated with red, white and blue bunting, palms and ferns, for the occasion. Over three hundred person were present, mostly in full dress, and the scene was kaleidoscopic in the extreme, and beautiful to behold. Mr. F. D. Parker was master of ceremonies, and, after a short speech, introduced Mayor Herbert P. Keller, who made the welcome address encouraged in splendid terms of laudation of fraternal orders and the good they are doing generally, and he did not inject one word of politics into his pertinent and pleasing remarks. He was responded to by Chief Justice B. J. Davis on behalf of the court. His work was on behalf of the court to the people of St. home "town," Atlanta, so emphatically. Both speakers were roundly applauded. After the two areas the floor was given over to terpsichorean divertissements to the pleasing strains of the Hilyard orchestra. Solos were sung by Mesdames Addie C. Minor and Mattie Campbell. The receiving line was marked for the prominent ladies of the Household of Ruth, and most delightful refreshments were served in abundance in the 'sunner room by ladies of the Household. The members of the Supreme Court present were: Chief Justice B. J. Davis, Associate Justice W. L. Houston and W. R. Morris and Clerk and Recorder W. T. Francis. The ladies gave things of beauty, joy forever, and the men were generally in evening clothes. Taken as 'a history as the largest, grandest and swellest social function of its kind ever given by any fraternal organization in the city's history. Mr. Charles Miller was chairman of the entertainment committee, and the success of the affair is due in no small measure to the efforts of his committee. --- Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall.
