THE HEPTASOPHS.
THEIR GREAT MEETING IN
BALTIMORE.
The Supreme Conclave of the Hepta-
sophs, or Seven wise Men, Now in
Session-Business Transacted
at Tuesdays Session.


special Correspondence OF tue kepuOncsns
BALTIMORE, April 2, 1889. Nothing
more delightful than trip from VIII
mington to Baltimore, over the Baltimore
81 Ohio Railroad, can be imagined. The
cars on the express trains are all vesti-
bulsd, well lighted and heated, and
vastly different to the train on which our
friend j. I. Mullin and his son rode from
Cologne to Frankford. Leaving the Della
ware avenue station In Wilmington at
SAG a. M, the train did not stop until
it reached Newark, and only there for
about one minute. Then on 1t flew again;
over bridges, abutmen's and embank-
ments, and down through deep cuts Not
another stop or slackeniDg up until tie
Patapeco river is reached, when the cars
are run on boat, and In lesa than a
minute are on the way to Baltimore,
which was reached at 1927 o'clock.
After brisk walk your correspondent
reached the IIeptasophian Hall at No.
506 East Baltimore street, where the Su-
preme Conclave, Heptasophs or 8. w.
M, holds its session this year with Su-
preme Archon, Joseph Pyle of Whining
ton, presiding. The first busir ess trans
acted was the admission OF new mem
bers, after which the report of the Su-
preme Arehon, the Supreme Secretary
and Supreme Treasurer were presented
and read. These reports showed that the
order is in prosperous condition, and
that during the past year several new
| conclaves have been formed in different
parts of the United States.
1t was decided that the session should
| open at o Q. M, and continue until p.
m; then take recess until 3 o'clock and
continue in session until @ o'clock. There
| is vast amount of work to be done
that may prove of the greatest benefit to
the order, and 1t is probable the session
will continue al least three days.
| The members Of the order in Baltimore
have made extensive arrangements fol
entertaining the members of the Supreme
Conclave. This evening they propose
taking all who choose to attend to the
Academy of Music. These courtesies
also consist of carriage rides to different
points of interest in and around the city
a soiree and reception at Concordia 0pers
House tomorrow night, at which the
visitors will be welcomed by Mayor La
trobe. After the transaction Of business
on Thursday 1t is proposed to take the
members on an excursion down the har-
Dor on a steamer, but it is doubtful Il
they will be able to accept the offer, al
there ia too much business to attend to Il
admit OF much pleasure seeking.

Quite an excitement was created on
East Second street yesterday by a contest
between colored gentleman, who claims
to be the champion backward runner, and
q well-known society gentleman, who
looks after the interests of q paper-hang-
Ing establishment on Market street not
many squares from the City Hall. The
society man though having the great ad-
vantage over the champion by running
forward and the champion the disadvan-
tage OF his many ups and downs (falls),
not being able to see the many obstacles
in his course, was so disg gusted when the
race was finished finding the champion
ahead, did not return to receive his
leather medal provided by his many ad-
mlrere, but kept on his course up Market
street. We suppose he did not stop un-
til he passed Filth street.
