THE LILY BLOOMS.

Elegant Reception by Champion City Df-
vision, U. r., h. of P.-The Knights Sur.
prised and the Ladies Keep a Secret.
The first assembly and iull dress soiree by
the new Champion City Division No. "A,
Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias, in the
hall of Nelson's commercial college, Arcade
building, last night, Was the most momen-
tous social event Of the season, in all essen
tials, and is an earnest of that which may be
expected on similar occasions in the future,
under the same auspices. The progress OF the
corps, which number some OF the best young
men OF the city has been almost phenomenal,
and its future is of the brightest. The Grand
Mach was at nine O'Clock, TO the inspiring
measures OF Worthington's orchestra, and
with an attendance OF from 200 to $50 ladies
and gentlemen, the former in handsome
evening costumes and many of the latter in
the brilliant uniform of the Knights. Rep
resentatives were present from Division Six,
this city, and divisions at Dayton and Lon
don. There were twenty-four dances on the
programme. the last OF which was reached at
three O'Clock in the morning. Following the
Grand March was a quadrille, at the con-
clusion of which the principal and most
interesting episode OF the evening occurred.
Sir Knight Commander W. L. Laferty
was manGuvl cd into prominent position in
the hall and brought face to lace with o. b.
Trout, Esq, who proceeded first TO discharge
a speech al him and then to place in his
hands, as representative OF No. A, banner
of heavy crimson silk, the gift of lady friends
of the Division. Although, like every mem
Der of the corps, taken entirely by surprise,
Commander Latierty soon recovered suffi-
ciently to make a proper response in ac-
Acknowledgement As stated the affair was
a complete surprise, prepared by committee
of ladies prominent among whom were Mrs.
Latferty, Mrs. Colonel Fellowes, Mrs. Bur-
nett and Mrs. viii. Wagner. The ban
ner is the most beautiful thst could
be procured at cost OF
$l25 from Pettibone, Cincin natl, and bears
the inscription: champion City Division,
No. A, U. R., X. of p, Springfield, Ohio"
the letters being in silk embroidery. In the
center is the lily, symbol of the order, worked
by hand in white silk. The banner is fringed
in heavy silver bullion and has silver cord
and pendants.
The next episode was the presentation to
Col. Fellowes ofa badge offered by Sir knight
A. L. Gutheil for the Pythian selling the
largest number OF tickets to the assembly.
The Colonel sold 35. During the
evening little niece of Colonel and Mrs.
Fellowes, Miss Eva Hook, of Memphis, en-
tertained the company with number of
fancy dances, which were received with i'm
mense applause.
Supper was spread in good style and with
liberal provision by Rockfeld, of the Arcade
hotel, completing the pleasant features OF one
OF the most agreeable entertainments ever At
tended in Springfield.

Blnck Birds and Orphan Boys of Babylon.
1t any person ever doubted that there was
q lack of talent in this city, all such doubts
were iispelled last night at the performance
of the Black Birds at Blacks Opera House.
A large audience greeted these gentlemen,
and they gave an entertainment which far
excelled many of the travelling minstrel
troups. There were so many really meritor-
ious features that it is almost impossible to
single out any one for special mention. The
orchestra, composed of the Big Six Band and
both Opera House orchestras, was certainly
one of the finest ever heard from the stage in
this city, as was also the chorus, CON-
posed of some of the very best voices in the
CITY, The end men, six in number,
were great" and kept the au-
dience in the best of humor
during the performance of part first. All
hearts were beating in eager anticipation OF
what was to come in the second part, under
the title of the '0rphan Boys of Babylon,
and no one was disappointed. First came Mr..
John N. Potter in the champion bar act, who
at once proved to the audience that he was
master Of the situation hs gymhast, his
hackwstd "giant swing receiving hearty
encore, Frank Brown clowned the bar for
NJ. Potter in . very happy manner. OF

scamp named Leonard, on the false pretense
he was contractor and would give them
work there. Among the number were sew

in Cincinnati on there return trip, after discov

Lower Theater Prices Wanted.

To the Editor of the EVENING STAR:
The fact that in two of the hIgh-priced thea
tiers good attractions are playing to beggarly
houses while the third has temporarily closed
its doors for lack of support, ought to suggest tc
managers that the people are tired of paying q
days wages to see play. Albaugh did a good
business all summer on a sensible basis, and
when that house struck q paying lead why
doesn't it work it?
If managers will go shopping they will find
that prices in almost all lines of goods have
fallen perceptibly during the past few years
And theater prices must come down, too, Oh
people will seek their amusements elsewhere.

A Belt Divorce Case Witness in Trouble.
POLICEMAN HARPER TO BE INVESTIGATED BY
THE TRIAL BOARD.
Charges have been filed with the chief of
police against Private Joseph Harper of con-
duct unbecoming an officer, and he has been
cited to appear before the trial board on We'd
nesday next. These charges are founded on
the evidence given in the case of Eugene Belt
against his wife for divorce, taken before Com
missioner F. T. Browning few weeks ago.
Officer Harper testified in behalf of Belt that a
certain house in the West End which Mrs. God
frey visited was regarded as of bad reputation,
and was under suspicion, and that he received
instructions from the lieutenant OF the fourth
precinct to watch the house. 1t was testified by
witnesses for the respondent that the house
never bore such a reputation, and its inmates
were people of unQueStionable responsibility,
and that Harper could have received no such
instructions from the lieutenant named, as he
was, at the time stated, an inmate of the in
