THE ANNUAL THANKSGIVING.
OF u. B. F. and S. M. T. at Pilgrim
Baptist Church the Greatest

Last Sunday afternoon there oc-
Cured at Pilgrim Baptist church the
largest and grandest secret society
celebration ever witnessed in St.
Paul. The occasion was the annual
thanksgiving services of the u. B. F.
and S. Mt. of St. Paul.
At 2:30 o'clock the members Of the
Lodges and Temples assembled in
the basement of the church. and at
3 O'Clock sharp formed in line and
proceeded to the main auditorium,
over 900 in number. First came
Golden Gate Temple, Juveniles,
dressed i'll white, then Florence Tenn
pie, also dressed in white, then Cor
inthian Temple, dressed in black with
white collars and cuffs, then Ramsey
Lodge, followed by North Star
Lodge. The rear was brought up by
the National and State Grand officers.
Nearly half of the large church was
filled by members of the order, and
the rest was filled by a highly repre-
sentative audience.
Mr. Charles H. Miller acted as
master of ceremonies The program
consisted Of: Prayer by Chaplain,
Mr.. John Jenkins; music by the
choir and by the Tuxedo Quartet, .un-
der the direction of Mr.. Allen
French; reading OF National Grand
Masters Proclamation by Mr.. C. H..
Miller: papers by Mrs. Viola Berry,
Mrs. Florence Duckett and Miss Cor
rine Hickman; reading, "Abou Ben
Adhem," by Mr. J. O. Adams. A
stirring and masterful address was
made by State Grand Master J. H.
Dillingham;, and an address by Rev.
J. R. White, National Deputy Com
mander of the Knights of Friendship.
The reception which was accorded
Rev. White was spontaneously cor
dial and very gratifying to him and
his friends, and his address, which
was admirable in conception and rem
dition, was we'll received. During
the course of exercises the announce
ment was made of the appointment of
Rev. White as National Deputy
Grand Master of the Jurisdiction of
Wisconsin and Iowa, and of Mrs.
Tennic E. White as National Deputy
Grand Princess of Wisconsin.
A very pleasing feature of exer-
cises was the responsive readings of
the Juveniles, which have grown to
be a body of about fifty, under the
able and arduous labors of Mesdames
Rosa Ewing and Addie Bellesen, the
Mother Matrons -
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
w. D. Carter, and it was generally
conceded to have been the finest SER
mon he ever preached, or any one
else ever preached on a like occasion
in St. Paul. In fact, taken all to-
gether, the music, addresses, sermon,
number and appearance of the men,
bers of the order and the congrega-
ton, has never been surpassed. and
the u. B. F. and S. M. T. may con-
graduate themselves upon setting a
mark that to reach any who try will
have to go some.' r..
In the collection the sum of S 25
was contributed and presented to-
Rev. Carter by Mrs. Ella Glass in a
short speech, to which Rev Carter
appropriately responded, and the
sum of SO was presented to the Trus-
tees of the church by Mrs. R. T. Nor
gan, and Mr. Alex Payne, representing
the trustees, thankfully responded.
Taken as whole, the occasion was
one of which the order and the good
citizens of St. Paul may justly feel

Meteor Barely Misses Vessel.

Philadelphia Barely escaping de
structiCn bv meteor weighing many
tons In mid-ocean, the Dutch steamer
Ocean. which arrived in this port Tnes-
day was almost enveloped by huge
waves following the disappearance of
the aerolite into the sea. According
to Captain Benkert Immediately after
the meteor struck the sea the impact
caused huge waves to sweep over the
vessel.
Many of the crew became i'll from
the effects Of the gas which Captain
Benkert declares would have asphyXi-
ated them had they not sought shelter
below decks. The gas remained in the
atmosphere for more than fifteen min,
utes, and when Captain Benkert and
his men ventured on deck. they found
il covered with a peculiar brownlsh
powder which fell from the sky.
Then followed, according to Captain
Benkert. shower of blazing meteorS
which began to fall about the vessel,
the phenomena lasting several min
utes. The sea about the vessel became
phosphorescent, and as far as the eye
could see, the men aboard the Ocean
say that dazzling objects of every color
danced about on the water.
The remarkable sight, according to
the log of the Ocean, was witnessed at
8 o'clock in the morning of March 4th,
while the steamer was in latitude 80 SO
north and longitude 1927 west, lasting
thirty minutes. The captain reported
the remarkable phenomena to the Mari
time exchange.

Bio Grande Potato Special.

Denver-Farmers OF the western
slope will soon know all there is to
know about potatoes and how to grow
them, says the Republican Of Tuesday
morning. Last night at I O'Clock the
"spud special" which Is to carry ex
perts on potato culture to the different
towns in the San Luis valley and else
where along the lines of the Denver
& Rio Grande, left Denver with its
load Of potato machinery and its party
of experts on the Irish staff of life
Those in the party were Prof. H. NJ.
Cottrell of the State Agricultural col
lege, director of the potato institute:
Prof. +. r. Bennett. Eugene H. Grubb
of Carbondale E. r. Bliss of Greeley,
S. w. Clark of Greeley, A. Sherman
of Eagle. Colorado, and F. A. Wadleigh
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Denver & Rio Grande. These men
will address the groups Of farmers who
gather in the coaches when the special
stops at the various towns on its
itinerary, and will explain to them the
uses of the carload Of special potato
machinery which is to be displayed.
Investigation has shown beyond
doubt that the valleys of the Eagle,
Grand, Roaring Fork, Crystal river,
North Fork, Uncompahgre, Monte
yuma and the San Luis have better
natural advantages for producing fine
potatoes than any other section of the
United States (outside of Colorado), ,
and 1t is the intention Of the institute
special to make the farmers OF that
section of the state acutely alive to
the fact.
