THE BANQUET season Of the present
year eliminated last night with the de-.
lightful enteitsiumert given By Poto'
mac Lodge Ia commemoration OF the
Introduction of Odd Fellowship into
the United States eighty-three years
ago. While last In the list 1t was In
point Of Interest ny no means least, and
all present will remember with pleas
ure the scenes and Incidents 10 con-
nection With the occasion. Potomac
Lodge has been an Alexandria institu-
ton since the 10Th day Of March. 1889,
and one of which the city is justly
proud. During the three score and
more years of its history many of our
most illusirous and best cit zeDs have
been among it's members. The portraits
of some long since deceased now adorn
the wals, and they looked down upon
last nights proceedings. Secret orders,
though frowned upon by some Pro-
crusteaLs who would have everything
fit their moulds, are essentials to COM
muuities, and tend 70 little toward
making good and useful citizens. The
principles OF such organizations are
moral and philsnthropic and much
good is done 10 quiet and unostentl-
tious way. The Bible is the fountain
head OF Odd Fellowship and all similar
secret societies. While not intended to
usurp the place of revealed religion,
they aid materially in propagstlng
many OF its most vital truths. 10 fact
lodges may be likened to the planets
10 our solar system and the Bible to the
suu. The orbs glisten with light from
the day god while the secret society re-
fleets the truths OF the Book Of Books.
10 the moral system OF sublunary affairs
Odd Fellowship is regarded as one OF
the sparkling gems.

Frightful Panic,

Philadelphia, April 30.--A frigbtful
panic was caused In the Hamburger q
Homan cigar factory at 10th and WASH
ington avenue today. One thousand
employees were startled by o cry OF
fire and made frantic efforts to escape
from the fourth, third, and second
floors. They were piled six and seven
deep In narrow stairway where they
fought each other, biting one another's
arms and faces, tearing the hair from
each others head and trampliDg to
death those underneath. One woman
spraDg from fourth story window and
was killed. The total list OF dead at
this hour is seven, and there are about
twenty Injured. The panic was caused
In singular manner. A boy had his
finger caught an an elevator and
screamed. One of the girls misin-
terpreted the cry and yelled "Fire?"
That was all. The United States Store
house of the Schuylkill Arsenal occupied
the first floor Of the building. Employees
rushed out and tried to stem the human
tide which congests sd the four feet wide
stairway. They were fought by the
insane girls and one Of them named
Conley, was badly bitten. The stains
are winding and have windows pro-
tected by iron and wooden bars. The
bars are covered with blood and pieces
Of human ioger nails torn from hands
seeking to tssr a way to safety. 1t ls
expected that the number Of dead will
reach at least ten.
The victims were nearly all Poles, HUI
gsriAns, Italians and Russians.
