THE OLDEST ODD FELLOW.
HE DIES AT GALENA. uLISo1sL


A letter to the Chicago Tribune giving an
account Of the death of John G. Potts, last
week, at Galena, ILL.,, says: Mr.. Potts was
the Oldest odd fellow in good standing in
the world. He was initiated in Lodge No. L.
at Philadelphia, September 25, 1925, and was
most worthy grand master of the grand
Lodge OF the state of Pennsylvania in 1929.
In 1886 heand George NJ. Dallas were arrest
ed by order of the legislature OF Pennsyl-
yanla, tor being connected with secret socie.
ties. He moved TO Galena in 1888, and was
in 1888, and for -four years after. District
Deputy Grand Sire of the Grand Lodge of
the United States for the territory of Iowa.
which included Wisconsin, and all the coun.
try known as the territory OF Iowa. After
ISL, he was District Deputy Grand Sire for
the Grand Lodge of the United States for
the northwestern states north of 40 degrees
OF north latitude. He instituted the Grand
Lodge, six encampments and eight lodges
in Iowa; six lodges in Wisconsin; the Grand
Lodge, one encampment and three lodges in
Minnesota; and two encampments and six
lodges in Illinois. He was presented, on
the 24th OF May, 1873, by Pennsylvania
Lodge No. l, of Philadelphia, with a golu
medal for the faithful performance of the
duties of treasurer of that lodge for twenty
three years, and for t~wenty-eight of Lead
Mine E-ncampment, of this place. The body
was followed to the grave by over 600 Odd
Fellows on foot, aud 500 persons in carriages
and sleighs.

ITALIAN WoRKINGMEN.-A correspondent
writes to the New York Times from Rome:
The statement is made that in the enterprise
and architectural reconstruction, street.
drainage, and requirement., and various 9TH
er work of general city improvement, the
municipality of Rome has given employ
ment the past month to q, 900 laborers, and
more than 1000 teams of all sorts. The
price of common labor is from thirty
to forty cents per day, and stone-masons
and other mechanics are paid from fifteen to
twenty-five cents per day in addition to the
compensation above named. Ten hours is
the usual term of day labor, and on account
of the larger demand than formerly the
price paid is ten or twenty cents a day above
old prices. Laborers at this season come in
from all parts, and the number seeking work
are continually increasing. The opera
tives in America, in the line of mechani-
cal and other industries, are restless,
prodigal, and constantly finding fault with
their poor pay of from two to four dollars
a day; but there is reason enough to pon-
der upon the sad and hopeless lot of the nom
proprietor classes hel e. From generation
to generation there is little or no improve
ment of their condition or fortune, and the
patient ~drudgery of a lifelong application is
the common lot of these classes. In con-
trast with the actual state here, the United
States, with temporary drawbacks, is the
paradise of the laborer, if he only knew it.

THE CHANGERS On THE WAR PATH. A
special to the Chicago Tribune from Dan
Vile. Illinois, says: On Saturday evening,
when the Paris and Danville eastward.
bound passenger train stopped at Chrisman,
a few miles west of this city, the train was
seized by a party of armed grangers, accom-
panied bv a constable, and the engine chain
ed to the track. By order of Superintendent
Matthias, the fireman attempted to break
the lock. While in the act of so
doing he was leaped upon by one of the
grangers who attempted to cut him with a
dirk knife. A lively fight followed in which
the railroad boys came out victorious. Inc
mail train, which left here at 2:40, returned
from Chrisman to this city and left again at
$40, with a United States deputy marshal
to clear the track for the mail train. The
rangers, hearing of the marshal coming, re-
leased the train, which arrived some hours
late. One of the grangers hsviDg a claim OF
$40 against the company is understood to
be the cause of the seizure.

as the most muscular undergraduate of
Oxford or Cambridge. His genial and loyal

THE OF ILLINOIS IN DANGER-
CALLED TO ACCOUNT o HIS LEvEEs.
The Chicago Tribune adviccs from Spring
field, Illinois, of yesterday says: The Meth
odists here threaten that ifthe wicked Young
folks insist on their rights, as a portion of
1.-THE people," to turn the executive mansion
into a dance-house, then they intend to in
sist on their rights to make of the mansion
a house of prayer. In other words. the fol-
lowers of John Wesley have made up their
minds that big iddlers nave no business In
the mansion, and that instead of having
some sleek.looking sinner sing out "Bal-
ance to your pards; )" or"All hands around;"
or "Grand right and left, and swing the girl
that you owe best;' they will furnish a
sleek-looking saint who will without charge
sing the hymns of Zion, and who will offer
up the prayers of the godly. But it is doubt
full If they will be permitted to do any
thing of the kind. 1t is only a few of the
more rabbid Methodists who threaten thus
to make fools of themselves, and if the ia
natics undertake to interfere with the gov
ernor in his own way OF holding a reception,
they will not be sustained even by a maiori-
ty of their own faith. Meanwhile tits author
itatlvely announced that the music has
been engaged for tomorrow evening, and
that old and young will be permitted to
dance, as has been the case heretofore. The
idea has suggested itself that a compromise
might be effected with these fanatics. No
one ever new of a Methodist who was not
ready to sit down and eat a bite. Now then,
