PYTHIAN NOTES.

The meeting of Richmond Lodge, /,
held on the night of September 9th was
one of interest. The attendance was
good and the members were seemingly
enthused over the talk of the Grand
Chancellor who had just returned from
Columbus, Ohio, where he has been
attending the session of the Supreme
Lodge.

TUESDAY night, September 14th and
all members are requested to be pres
ent as a large number are to be initia-
ted. The lodge is doing excellent
work and should have the support of
all members in the State and certainly
their best wishes.
The above named company was
formed ost of this lodge and when
uniformed will doubtless be the fin
est in the State.
We are told that the Sir KniOhts of
Danville have already commenced to
prepare for the entertaining Of the
Grand Lodge which meets in that city
In May. 1t is further understood that
the uniform rank will be in excellent
trim ere then and will make fine ap-
pearance of which the Sir Knights Of
Danville will feel justly proud.
In the Uniform Rank display OF the
2eth ult., we had expected to see Roa-
noke Company of Newport News, but
we were reliably informed that it was
not convenient for them to come as
they wanted to travel with their COM
rsdes from the tide-water cities and
could not make proper connections.
A resolution was passed in the Su-
preme Lodge during it's session at Co.
lumbus, Ohio, changing the name .'Di-
vision" to Company.
Sir Knight N. A. Twitty OF Suffolk
was unanimously voted Supreme
Lodge honors and the same was con-
ferred. Suffolk will doubtless feel
proud of this also Sir Twitty.
The members of Planet Lodge were
in their glory Monday night owing co
the fact that four candidates were mi
tiated. The attendance was good and
many visitors we're present and rem
dered valuable service.

thorough investigation by Chief Goss and
Chief of Detectives Schweitzer. O'Brien
when arrested, had in his possession $218 in
cash. He appeared very anxious to be al
lowed to go on bail and offered to put up
500 for his appearance in court. AS he told
a very disconnected story as to his move
ments previous to his arrest the police Off
Gals became suspicious and determined to
investigate. Early yesterday morning barry
Martin, who, the police claim, has been seen
about the union depot for several days with
O'Brien. was sent to the central station by
Patrolman Hennessey. Martin was also plen-
tifully supplied with cash. having over 800

man. and carried card purportng to be
issued by the Yardmasters' Association of the
Lake Erie and Western road, at Muncie Ind.
Chief Goss teegraphed to the chief of police
of Muncie, and yesterday received an an

of no such person as Martin. Last evening
Martin admitted that the card was bogus

SENT AID TO ALTON.
Local Coiored People Assist the
Ostracized Blacks.

TIL colored people of St. Paul will send
their quota to the fund, enabling the colored
people of Alton, Ill, to prosecute their cause
against the segregating of their children IN
separate public school buildings.
The school board of Alton provided separ-
ate schools for the colored children. Their
parents carried the matter into the courts by
an application for a writ OF mandamus re-
curing the board to show cause why such
a distinction should be made, and, If neces-
sary, they will carry the matter to the SUI
preme court. They issued an appeal for
tributions have already been sent in from
Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington.
1t was to discuss this matter that a meeting
of colored citizens of st. Paul was held last
evening in the Pilgrim Baptist church, on
Cedar street, and there was a large attend
ance present. F. L. McGhee presided and
in calling the meeting to order remarked that
a house divided against itself couldn't stand.
Separate schools dividing white and colored
children, would impress the minds Of the
young with the idea of a race distinction; it
taught that one race was superior to another;
it would distil in the minds OF the young
that the constitution which declares all men
are equal, was falsehood and a mockery.
William R. Morris, an attorney of Mime
apolis, followed with a report of the status
of the case. There were, he said six gram
mar school buildings in Alton, of which two
were set aside for the colored children. One
was the best and most complete in the city,
and there was no question but that their ac-
commodations and facilities were fully equal
to the Others and the teachers were white
but then there was the principle at stake.
Singularly enough, Mr.. Morris said, some of
the colored people of Alton were fully salts
fed that such distinction obtain.
J. Frank Wheaton, of Minneapolis spoke
briefly on the duty of the state to the col
ored race. Rev. ]. c. Anderson, of st. Paul.
made a few remarks on the duty of the
church to the race, and Mrs. Nelson Russell
spoke on the duty of women to the race.
1t was decided that contribution of $25
G. IDoy,I
ting response to the appeal, and this sum
was quickly raised. The secretary of the
meeting also authorized to write letter
OF encouragement to the coored people of
Alton in their struggle At the close of the
meeting the ladies of the church served re-
freshments.
