ODD FELLOWSHIP.

A little less than fifty years ago
Thomas Wildey, the ''father and founder
of Odd Fellowship in America" brought
about the organization of Washington
Lodge No. l, l. o. o. F., at Baltimore,
Md. Prior to that time several lodges
of the Order were started in other To-
calities on the continent-Shakspeare
Grand Lodge having been formed in
New York city as early as the year
1906 but the lodges that existed pre-
vious to 1910 did not for various reasons
prosper for any considerable length Of
time, so that it may be confidently
stated that the good seed Of Odd Fellow
ship was planted in good American
ground by "Father" wildcy, as above
set forth.
The semi-centenary anniversary OF
the introduction Of the Order into
America is to be magnifccntly com
memorated on the 26th Of April next,
The memorable occasion will be OBJ
served in every place where Odd Eel
lowship is established, and a grand ma
tioual celebration, under the auspice:
of tho Grand Lodge of the United
States, will take place in Philadelphia
in which affair it is estimated that from
40, 900 to 5 $4,000 members of the ordeI
will be present.
Odd Fellowship comprises citizens o
every rank, sphere and station in life
Every honorable profession and vocation
is largely represented therein, and it
society is Individually aspower. for goo'
in this world.
Odd Fellowship is still in its relative
infancy, and its destiny is to accomplish
wonders in the elevation Of human
character, and in the nmelioration o
the condition of the family Of man
Every well-wishcr of his kind will bid
it God-spced in its noble work.

lieving the Convention Of any embarrassment
which the previous pledges of the party to
them might produce.
Two lines Of action were presented for the
Conventions choice. One was 10 oppose the
Underwood Constitution entire. 70 support
straight-out Conservative candidates for State
and local offices, and II successful TO postpone
reconstruction indefinitely The other was to
accept the designations offered to support the
moderate Republican ticket headed by Walker
as against the Radical scalawac and carpet-hag
movement represented by Wells. to defeat the
obnoxious portions Of the Constitution and
approve the remainder Of Reinstatement, thus
complying with the demands of Congress,
securing the approval Of the Administration,
