IN FRATERNITY CIRCLESAftermath of the K. of Fs. Trip to Detroit.Oddfel- #:

lowship in Virginia.Active Work Will Soon j«be Resumed as Summer Wanes.

Tho Biennial Encampment of theKnights of Pythias at Detroit, Mich.,from August 27th to September 4th.was largely attended, it being esti¬mated that over ten thousand visitingKnights were present. Five companiesof the First Regiment of Virginia wentby special train over the Norfolk andWestern Railway, and one companyof the same regiment by way of theBaltimore and Ohio Railroad. The reg¬iment is composed of companies fromthis section, under the following offi¬cers: Colenel George W. Battley;Lieutenant Colonel S. J. Harwood,Major W. C. Corbltt. Major E. W.Huffman, Captain H. L. Myers, Ad¬jutant; Captain J. T. Lawrence, com¬missary; Captain Herman Schanbach-cr. acting quartermaster; Captain Don¬ald McLeod, signal officer; CaptainR. P. Bunting, commanding A Com¬pany; Captain Andrew Dusch, com¬manding B Company; Captain G. K.Batten, commanding C Company; Cap¬tain V. P. Holt, commanding D Com¬pany: Lieutenant Wilson, commandingE Comapny, and Captain B. F.Vaughan, commanding F Company.There were about three hundred andtwenty-live men of the regiment inlitte In the big parade, and their band,tne Great Western of Detroit, employ¬ed for the occasion, and the finest inthat section, caused the regiment toreceive quite an ovation as they passedthe reviewing stand, the band at thattime playing "Dixie." The leader ofthe Croat- Western Band. Mr. Hoffman,composed u march califfd "The FirstVirginia Regiment," and dedicated thesame to Captain H. L. Myers. It issaid to be quite a catchy piece of mu¬sic, and copies ure to be sent to theS. A. L. Band, of Portsmouth. Theboys all report that they had a Jolly,cood time, and from the yell given bythe Virginia's at the various head¬quarters at which they called wo pre¬sume that they hatl. The followingwas the Virginian yell:Hipp! Rapp! Ruff!We are the stuff!We always drinkUntil we get erough!Huly bcc! Who are we?We are from OM Virginia.ee.First In war. rtrst In peace.First in the hands of the Detrlot po¬

lice!Are we in it?Well, 1 should smile.Lieutenant Colonel Harwood being

the chief of police of Newport N'ws,th-.? staff of the regiment were exttndsdmany courtesies by the potice depart¬ment of Detroit, among which werecarriage drives through the city anda dlnver -at the yacht club at BelieIsle. The hoys all have words ofpraise for the department, and partic¬ularly for the superintendent of police,and Chief Detective R. A. Stenton.their old friend "BUI."

T1II0 ODD FELJ-OWS.The report of the grand secretary of

the Odd Fellows, which will be submit¬ted to the Sovereign Grand Lodgewhen it meets at Richmond on the 14thInstant, has been completed.In commenting on the forthcoming

convention the grand secretary says:"For the first time since its organi¬

sation, the Sovereign Grand Lodgemeets in Virginia; and when it Is re¬membered that Maryland, the birth¬place and the cradle of American OddFellowship, is an adjoining state. Itseems more remarkable still that thisshould be our llrst session In the OldDominion.

SIXTV-SEVEN YEARS AGO.Our order was planted on Virginia's

soil sixty-seven years ago. The firstreport from a lodge of this order InVirginia to the Grand Lodge of theUnten States appears in the journal ofthat body, of the session held In NewYork city, August, 1831. The grandtreasurer's report shows the receipt byhim <>t the charter fees from VirginiaLodge, No. 1, at Harper's Ferry, andshows nineteen initiations, no suspen-skins, no expulsions, Ji'ir, revenue, andtwenty-four contributing members.The charter for that lodge was granted.it a special session of the Grand Lodgeof the United States, called for thepurpose, by Thomas Wildey, grandsire, in Baltimore, May 4. 1833.Virginia now has over 200 lodges, and

more than 10,000 Odd Fellows, notwith¬standing she has lost more than one-third her area, in giving another Stateto the Union.Speaking of the achievements In the

past, the grand secretary says of theorder at large:"The progress made in 1800 Is almost

phenomenal. With an Incrense of over31,000 In the membership In tho su¬bordinate lodges, 13.000 in Rebekahmersbern, and, best of all, nearly 2,700in the patriarchal branch, we foundevery reason for congratulation andhope.

._._.VIRGINIA REPORTS.

The reports of the grand officers ofVirginia to the grand secretary of theSovereign Grund Lodge are as fol¬lows:James Mitchell, grand patriarch,

says: "The past year has been one of.great Interest In public life, and thishas detracted to a large extent fromthat interest whleh we -ü^uld all hnveIn the progress of our order. Our lastmeeting, held In the city of Roanokeone year ago; .was at a time when wecould hear the War cry on all sides,and none knew which of us would berequired to respond first to our coun¬try's call; but we now see that warcan make no material difference withthe growth of our beloved order. OddFellowship In Virginia has takeu no

backward step in the subordinatebranch of the order, but in the pa¬triarchal branch we have not heldour own. This has been the resultof influences over which we could notbe expected to exercise that controlwo would prefer, because to sacrificeone\s business at' a critical momentmeans the loss to him of many dol¬lars, and while we are nil expected tosacrifice much to the principle of OddFellowship, those of us who are re¬quired to labor for our subsistencecan ill afford to let golden opportuni¬ties pass without making an effort totake reasonable advantage of them."REPORT OF GRAND SCRIBE.T. V. Turney. grand scribe, says:I send you herewith the annual re¬

port of the Grand Encampment ofVirginia for the year ending December31, 1899. From it you will seee thatwe show a slight decrease in member¬ship, and this is deplorable; but wehave really gained, because we haveinstituted four new encampmentssince December, and this puts ourmembership, as I can figure It now,at 1,329. a gain of 129 over last report.Wo are making a strong effort to Im¬prove the encampment, but we findIt hard work in Jurisdictions likeours, where the membership is soscattered among many small countrylodges, and then, in the cities wherethe lodges are large, and several ofthem, we do not seem to have that in¬terest In the encampment brunch ofthe order we should. Something mustbe done. The consolidation of theState Grand Lod<»e and Grand En¬campment the same "as S. G. L., ormake the encampment standing moreof an object to the membership, bynot permitting officers of State grandbodies to hold ollice except they areencampment and Rebekah membersin good stunding also."

REPOBT OF GRAND SECRETARY.T. Wiley Davis, grand secretary,

writes: "The natural incroas» In mem¬bership during the year is gratifying, itbeing 513, yet, notwithstanding thatfact, we report a smaller total mem¬bership than we did one year ago. bo-cause of the fact that we have clearedthe books of all (or nearly nil) of ourdormant lodges. Some of them havedone practically no work for severalyears, yet have been carried upon thebooks, and the membership that theylast reported has been continued fromyear to year. While the loss is over1.000 In the lodges, the charters ofwhich have been called In and a care¬ful pruning In many other lodges, wehave no cause to feel discouraged: onthe contrary, our receipts and disburse¬ments have been greater than duringany preceding year. We are lookingforward to the annual meeting of theSovereign Grand Lodge In the city ofRichmond In September next with'mingled feelings of pleasure and pride:and while the entertainment of so largea gathering will tax our untried capa¬bilities, our faith leads us to believettiat we shall at least succeed In mak¬ing all who shall attend upon that oc¬casion feel a most hearty welcome. Weshall not be able to furnish an enter¬tainment as costly or elaborate as thatenjoyed In other jurisdictions, but wehope to make up for that deficiency bya genuine display of old Virginia hos¬pitality, such as shall cause each onewho shall nttend to believe that wehave striven for success."

A REGIMENTAL BAND.

M. T. J. SMITH AVOULD LIKE' TOORGANIZE ONE HERE.

Mr. T. J. Smith, who acted as drummajor In the Labor Day parade-, nndwho has organized several bands Inthis section, has conceived the Idea oforganizing a regimental band in thiscity.Mr. Smith believes that there is suffi¬

cient unengaged musical talent in Nor¬folk. Portsmouth and Berkley to forma regimetal band of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight pieces. Hestates that he already has twelve mena%-nilahle and prospects for successseem bright. The military companieshere at present have no band, nnd theproject, If feasible, seems to be a goodone. Mr. Smith Is living at 204 Ran¬dolph street, Portsmouth.

October 23rd to 27th.

Tho Sobsions TTlll bo Held In the First Pres-bytcrlan Church An Important Kcclssl-astlcal Body.

The Presbyterians of Newport NewsNews are making extensive prepara¬tions for entertaining the Synod ofVirginia. West Virginia and Maryland,which convenes in annual session Inthat city from October 23d to the 27thinclusive. The Synod will bo held atthe First Presbyterian Church, ofwhich the Rev. IS. T. Wellford Is pus-tor.A large amount or business will

claim the attention of the Synod, mak¬ing it in, all probability the most inter¬esting convention ever held in the his¬tory of the Presbyterian ministers andelders of the churches in the threeStates.At the last convention of the SynodRev. E. T. Wellford and Mr. DeYCitt

Crane, of the First Church, and Rev.Arnold Hall, of the Second Church,were constituted a committee to pro¬vide for the meeting of the Synod atNewport News in 1900.The sessions of the Synod will openat 7:30 p. m., Tuesday, October 23d,when a new moderator, two recordingand two reading clerks will be elected.

Rev. Dr. Moore, the retiring modera¬tor, will preach the opening sermon.The delegates will consist of thepreachers and one delegate from eachchurch in the three States, all ofwhom are expected at the opening ofthe session on Tuesday.

It Is learned that the Wednesdaynight session will be In the Interest orthe missionary cause, at which therewill be one principal address, to befollowed by talks of ten minutes ormore. Rev. B. O. Pnttlnson and Rev.Dr. John Davis. Presbyterian mission¬aries to China, and Rev. W. D. Rey¬nolds and Rev. W. F. Junken, Pres¬byterian missionaries to Corea, are ex¬pected to be in attendance upon theconvention.All of the missionaries, with the ex¬

ception of Mr. Davis, were class-matesof Rev. E. T. Wellford, pastor of theFirst Presbyterian Church, NewportNews.At the opening of the session the

local committee will recommend to thoSynod the time for the considerationof the educational work, home andforeign missions, colored evangeliza¬tion, Sunday school work and othergreat church enterprises.All of the Presbyterian ministers and

elders are largely Interested in increas¬ing the endowment of the Union Theo¬logical Seminary at Richmond, and IrIs expected that a special service willbo held for the discussion of a Twen¬tieth Centttrv Fund, to be applied tothis institution.The delegates from the Presbyterian

rhurchos In Norfolk and Portsmouthhave not ns yet been electc 1. but willbe either the latter part of Septemberor first of October.
