Pursuant to previous announcement
in the columns of the Virginian-Pilot
the Wiley excursion party of Great
Red Men from the West reached Nor?
folk last night and proceeded to the
Monticello Hotel.
From Richmond they came via the
C. and O., reaching the hotel about 7:40
o'clock. The party was welcomed at
the (.'. and O. wharf by the local com?
mittee from Norfolk's seven tribes of
Red Men, headed by Past Great Sach?
em John W. Cherry, chairman. The
first thing on the program was supper,
and while the visitors are attending to
this let us glance briefly at their itin?
erary.

and Ohio, arriving Friday at 7 a. m. at
Whit'.- Sulphur Springs for breakfast.

ing the sights at Virginia's capital, and
then the party took the C. and O. for

PERSONEL OF THE PARTY.
The present trip was arranged by,
and the party Is In charge of, Mr. Wil?
son Brooks, of Chicago, great chief of
records. Great Council of Illinois, who,
through connection with many former
trips to the sessions of the Great Coun?
cil or the United States, Is very famil?
iar with all the details pertaining to,
such matters.
The party is made up as follows:
E. W. Poindexter and wife, Topeka,
Kas.; Oeo. H. Tandy, Freeport, 111.;
Fred Temple, Grand Rapids. Mich.;
Wilson Brooks and wife and James R.

MAYOR JOHNSTON ABSENT.
On account of a sudden call out of
the city Mayor Johnston was unable to
be present and officially welcome the
visitors, so this feature and the res?
ponse by Hon. Thos. H. Watts, of
Montgomery, Ala., of the visitors, were
omitted.
TWO BIO CHIEFS.
Two members of the visiting party
are very prominent in the order. These
are E. D. Wiley, of Des Moines, great
senior sagamore of the G. C. U. S.. and
Thos. G. Harrison, of Indianapolis, Ind.,
great Junior sagamore of the G. C. U.
S. The party Is under the direction of
Past Great Sachem Wilson Brooks,
State organizer of Illinois.
MILWAUKEE IN 1000.
The members of the party are wear?
ing pins bearing the words "Milwau?
kee. 1000?A Bright Spot." It. seems to
be generally conceded that the Great
Council of 1900 will be held at Mil?
waukee.
HISTORY OF THE RED MEN.
Of the Great Council. I. O. R. M., at
Washington this week, and the order
Itself, the Washington Post speaks as
follows:
"Arrangements have been completed
for the entertainment of the Improved
Order of Ked Men, whose gren.t council
is to be held In this city next week.
The council will begin Its sittings on
Tuesday and continue them for four
days. It is expected that there will be
present nbout 175 delegates, whose
camp will be pitched at the Ebbitt
House. The business transacted will
be of great importance to members of
the order throughout the country.
' The organization has an interesting
history, with which all the great chiefs
and warriors of the tribe are fnnV.llar,
the traditions having been handed
down from generation to generation.
"The order Is the outgrowth of a
secret organization, maintained bv the
American Indians long before Christo?
pher Columbus bwided upon the lonely
shores of San S-alvndor and informed
the red men that they were discovered.
Such worthy motives were embodied
in this singular association of half
clvlllzed tribes that when the white man

came he and some of his associates
formed un organization after the style
of the Indian organization and called
therqselves the Sons of Liberty.
"It was sturted as a secret body in
1765, one of Its first purposes being to
resist the obnoxious stamp tax im?
posed upon the colonies by England.
The Sons of Liberty adopted the dress
and customs of the Indians, and were
thus attired in the garb of the red man
when they attended the first pink tea
party on record in Boston harbor in
1774.
"TraditSon also has it that the ances?
tors of the Bed Man of to-day were the
founders of Tammany Hall In 1813, as
It Is said that the Sons of Liberty
Joined the St. Taminls Society, of New
York, from which the great political
organization derived Its name.
"In 1813 there was the first organiza?
tion of the present order, under the
name of the Society of Red Men. and
in 1834 a number of changes were made,
and it became as it now stands, the
Improved Order of Red Men. The first
organization under the new order was
Logan Tribe No. 1, whose wigwam was
in Baltimore. That was on March 12,
1834. The motto of that tribe, "Free?
dom, Friendship and Charity," has be?
come the slogan of the entire united
tribes.
"The new order now numbers nearly
200,000 members. The order is. especial?
ly strong in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Ohio. Indiana, and on the Pacific coast.
Each great reservation is entitled to
one representative in the great? council
for each 1,000 members up to 8,000, no
reservation being entitled to more than
eight delegates. The sessions in the
Ebbltt House wigwam, where the
sachems will gather, will be secret, but
there will be a number of rare social
features during the sessions of the
council."
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Date of Opening Likely to Be
Postponed to 20th. Inst.
All tbo Ifetr School Buildings Will
Not Bo Completed by Dar Sot For
Itio Commencement of Ibo Torm ?
Prospect of Atlendnucc.
The School Board meets in regular
session Tuesday afternoon, and Super?
intendent Doble said yesterday after?
noon that it was almost certain that
the opening of the city public schools
will be postponed until about the 20th
instant. The time previously set ior
the opening was the 15th.
Mr. Dobie gives as the reason for the
probable postponement the fact that
the new school buildings are not fully
ready for occupancy. This is espe?
cially true of the Boush and Charlotte
street buildings and the annex to the
High school building. All the buildings
will be completed by the 20th or there?
abouts.
Mr. Dobie states that the capac?ji of
the public schools will be about 4,000,
and he believes all the buildings will
be almost, if not quite, filled. <
The number of children in Norfolk
within the school age was over 10,000
in 1895. A big portion of these, of
course, do not attend any school, and
another big percentage go to the many
private institutions of learning. It is
a fact, however, according to Mr.
Dobie, that many children have been
kept out of the public schools in the
past few yeans simply because of a
lack of room for them. Consequently
with Increased seating capacity he
looks for a big Increase in the attend?
ance. The old Bank and Queen street
primary schools will not be re-opened
unless the other buildings are crowded.
The rectors in the Bramblcton and
Atlantic City Ward schools remain in
their old charge this coming term. Mr.
J. L. Boush will he rector of the Char?
lotte street school; Mr. J. P. Britt, of
the Boush street; Mr. Winston Parish,
of the Fenchurch street, and Mr. R. L.
Dobie, of the Fourth Ward.
At the meeting of the board Tuesday,
the bids will be opened and contracts
awarded for furnishing the schools with
furnace, stove and steam-coal and
pine wood.
The- Hotel Chnmberlln.
Thousands of people In the South,
North East and West will hail with
pleasure that the magnificent Hotel
Chamberlain, at Old Point Comfort,
will re-open on the 15th instant, with
a ball at night. Arrangements have
been made for guests to return to Nor?
folk the same night. For the present
the hostelry will be run on the Euro?
pean plan b'y Manager Campbell.

Win in Tennis Contest,

ner* Od ?11 vor Lovina; Cup.
Messrs. J. Saun?ers Taylor and Hugh
G. Whitehead won the Virginia Tennis
championship, in doubles, from Messrs.
M. A. and A. M. Agelasto yesterday af?
ternoon. The game was played at tho
Country Club's court at 4 o'clock, and
was witnessed by a large crowd.
The winners are also the champions
in doubles of the Country Club, and
both have held the championship of this
club In singles, this honor now belong?
ing to Mr. Whitehead.
The game was exciting and full of
Interest, though It was not so close as
was expected. Five sets were to have
been played, but Messrs. Taylor and
Whitehead won the first three and the
game ended at this, the scores being
as follows: 6-3, 6-3 and 6-4.
Both sides showed considerable im?
provement over their former work on
this court, since all the players have
had practice in big tournaments of late.
The play was very fast and spirited.
Messrs. Whitehead and Taylor repeat?
edly ran to the net and played a very
aggressive volley game, and It was here
they won from their opponents, who
played rather defensively from the base
line. Mr. A. M. Agclasto showed up well,
but his brother did not seem to be
playing in form. Mr. Taylor was at his
best, and smashed his opponent's lobs
with wonderful accuracy. Ueferee?

THE LOVING CUP.
The winners -will have possession of
the silver loving-cup donated to the
Virginia Lawn-Tennis Tournament As?
sociation by Mr. W. C. Dickson, of this
city, until the next tourney, at which
the State championship will be con?
tested for. Their names will be en?
graved upon the cup, and should they
win the championship three times It
will become their prize to be held per?
manently. The cup was offered last
year, and Messrs. Taylor and Reid were
the winners then; but Mr. Taylor gets
no credit for this win In respect to
the thrice-champlonshlp prize, since he
had a different partner this time. Mr.
Dickson also presented a cup for the
championship in singles, which is now
held by Mr. M. A. Agelasto for the
second time.
The tea and reception at the Country
Club was as thoroughly enjoyable as
these occasions usually arc.
Among those present were Mr. and
Mrs. Willie Peed, Mrs. R. W. Gamble,
Miss Little, Mrs. R. S. Coupland. Miss
Bell. Miss Nash, Misses Drumrnond.

KUDOLPHI & WALLACE,
BROKE H?R WALKING BEAM.
FERRY STEAMER CITY OF NOR
FOL MEETS WITH ACCIDENT.
The ferry steamer City of Norfolk
met with a serious accident yesterday
at about 4:10 p. m. as she was leaving
the Norfolk dock for Berkley. Her
walking beam broke almost In halves,
und the sudden preclpltutlon of the
broken section's weight upon it snapped
the piston rod and did some minor dunn?
age. Luckily, the beam fell back into
the machinery and did comparatively
Nttle damage. Had it been Hung for?
ward and outward, many lives might
have been endangered. The engineer
promptly shut off steam and the dis?
abled vessel drifted down stream until
taken in tow by the tug AJax, which
first towed her to the Chestnut street
doek In Berkley, whore passengers and
vehicles were disembarked, and then
the boat Avas transferred to the repair
dock at Portsmouth. There was con?
siderable excitement on shore and on
the river for a few minutes, but It was
soon over and traffic was resumed, the
ferry service being somewhat crippled
by the accident. It will probably take
some time to repair the injured boat.
