CELEBRATES.

Blooming Lily Lodge, No. 15, x. o
Z. celebrated their Tenth Anniversary
with banquet, at the st. Luke's HaH.
3lst St., Monday hight, Feb'y Srd, 1902
The occasion was one of pomp and
grandeur, made more so because it was
graced by the presence Of the Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the
State of Virginia and Supreme Leoturer
of the Supreme Lodge, K. of p, and
two or three other other Grand Officers.
On behalf Of the lodge, the welcome
address was delivered by Sir L. O. Mil
Ter, which was very instructive and was
delivered in appropriate language in a
very forcible manner. Speeches were
also made by Mrs Anna Taylor, Grand
Deputy. l. Q. G., Sir s. S. Baker, Dr..
Chas. E. Wilder and Rev. Absolon Ran
dolph.
After the speeches the guest marched
down to the dining hall while the or
chestra, composed almost entirely OF
Pytnians, PLAYED some of the latest
MAJ ches composed by a colored man and
a SIR Knight
The spacious dining hall was decor
ated with the colors of the Order, sud
the table which accommodated one hun
dred guest at a time. was decorated with
white lilies, which was emblematio of

ened with everything which goes TO
make up flrst-elass banquet.
Peace, love and harmony, some of the
many characteristics of the Order, pre-
vailed throughout the entire evening,
and all present enjoyed themselves to
the fullest extent; and the Bandnet,
which was given AS a reunion of the
families of the Knights of Blooming
Lily Lodge, was a grand success in every
respect.
It established among the people conf
dence in the Order, and and many men
went away with the determination of
uniting themselves with the grand old
Order. and to raise Blooming Lily's ban
ner higher and higher
Dancing was engaged in by all those
who could, and those who couldn't. re-
gretted for the first time in their lives
that they did not know how.
Much credit is due the following Sir
knights who composed the Reception
Committee in handling such a large
gathering with satisfaction n: Robert

SMASHED THE HEARSE.
Body Taken Out - Horses Couldn't
Stand.

The funeral of Mrs. Annie Tayl, r
took place last Sunday at II:25 a. IN. at
the Mount Carmel Baptist Church,
Rev. w. II. White preached the funer-
al. All went well until after the
body had been placed in the hearse by
the pall-bearers.
When the horses started off, the icy
roads caused them to slide. The hearse
was partially overturned, the glass
smashed and the coffin disarranged.
The remains were returned to the
church and another hearse ordered.
The vehicle was badly damaged. The
front axle was broken. 1t belonged to
Mr.. Joseph Bliley. Funeral Director
Brown had charge of the remains which
were finally inferred in Evergreen Gem
etery.
1t was after o'clock when a double
team truck removed all that was left of
the hearse.

An Appeal.

The Association having lost by fire
two barns and four valuable horses.
Monday night, January 20, 1902, repre-
sentlng an actual money loss of at least
$1,000, and being without funds to re-
puild, is forced TO make appeal to the
pubilc Tor money aid to restore what
has been lost.
The white and colored people of. the
commonwealth are equally interested
in having this reform school Of the As
sociatlon accomplish the best results
possible by reforming delinquent Negro
minors, since the decrease of crime adds
TO the moral well-being and material
growth of the state by assuring better
citizenship. Already 14S bows have
found an asylum in the Virginia Man
uai Labor School under the protective
care of the Association within in the
two years and four months from its
opening.
You are respectfully asked to con-
tribute bDerally towards raising neces-
sary money to cover fully this serious
loss which so greatly embarrasses this
Christian work of reform for colored
chlldren, The $500 insurance will COW
er but one-third of our loss.
You are asked 10 send your contribu-
ton to the Treasurer or the President.

hood that has been circulating, reflect
ing upon me and my family.

rumors, they are best let alone. How
ever, wish to say those who seem to
be so much interested in my PRIVATE
AFFAIRS that l gave my wife, Julia

which there has been so much talk. /

east turned north and then west. The
Pittsburg officers, only few miles in
the rear. took the wrong road for
about eight miles, but when they found
out their mistake they made up for
lost time by telephoning and tele-
graphing ahead for fresh horses They
reached Mount Chestnut not less than
half an hour after the Biddles and
Mrs. Soffel. At this point fresh horses
were awaiting them, and the chase for
life began anew.
The two sleighs, with the eight off,
GERS aboard, started westward, and
met the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel at
McClure's barn, two miles from Mount
Prospect. The Biddles having learned
that they were almost overtaken, and,
taking what they considered the only
chance they had, drove eastward and
met their doom. The Pittsburg and
other officers were armed with Win
chester rifles and revolvers of large
calibre. They shot to kill, and their
aim was perfect. The Biddles tried
to kill to the last of their string. but
not one. Of the eight officers has a
wound as the result of the battle.
When the detectives got to within
about so yards of the fugitives they
opened fire. The Biddles promptly
answered with shot gun and revolvers.
When Ed Biddle fell and Mrs. Soffel
saw she was about to De captured she
fred q bullet into her breast.
Ed Biddle got bullet In the breast
which penetrated his right lung. John
Biddls may recover, his wounds, al
though numerous, failing to reach O
vital spot The escape Of the officers
is miraculous. The Biddles have
demonstrated on several occasions
that they are good marksmen. and

On the first Sunday in June, i5 is the
ann OF the church along with the Tenth

THOSE MOURNING coAr.rAns.

Once more the coat-tails of Brother
Robert Watkins, who was guard at the
penitentiary during the Readjuster rule
beat time to u dead march as with meas
ured step and solemn tread he climbed
Gospel Hill and wended his way to the
headquarters of the fuss-makers TO tell
how it was done.
The other side was not exultant, but
evidently experienced grim satisfaction.
1t is plain that the better elements
are tiring of the trouble at the First
Baptist Church and it may be that the
pastor will be able before the next meet
ing TO declare a truce and end the horri-
BILE conditions which have served to scan
dallze ''Old Zion" from one section of
the country 60 the other and caused a
practical demonstration of the scriptural
announcement that "gloIy has departt d
from Israel"
Let us hope not forevermore.

WARREN, FAYETTE Co., Tenn,

Mr.. John Mitchell, Jr.
Dear Editor
/ must say that the PLANET is the best
and only Negro paper that 1 know of,
which stands up and speaks for the COL
ored race. Please allow me to say right
here that it should be the duty of every
Negro in the United States to hold up
your hands as Aaron did the prophets
hand, by sending you their subscription
to the PLANET, the great Negro paper,
to enable you to continue to press the col
ored peoples case before the world.
l believe that we have some good
white friends IN the South who will rise
TO our rescue, when they see that we are
using every effort to help ourselves. Our
worst drawbacks are due to sin and bad
conduct Of our young people.
believe God will ever withhold his
blessings from the Negro race until they
stop their meanness. God has promised
that no good things would be withheld
from them that walked uprightly.
hope you may find space in your great
paper to drop these few lines as have
never seen line IN print from this part
Of the country.
L hope our people may be more partic-
ular In training their children to be
more polite and that will help to gain
friends.
May the God Of peace ever be your
strong arm to bear you up in the grand
and noble work which you have under
taken, to fight the cause of the Negro
race is my prayer.
Yours, lover of the Negro race,
(Rev.) ISAAC J. PERSONS.
