The following regarding the origin
/ of Odd Fellowship. we gather from
the remarks of MIR. Haynes, made
during a recent meeting of Logan
Lodge, in Hooking county, Ohio. of
which Lodge Mr. X. is one Of the
oldest members. During his address
he stated that the Order had its ex-
/ istence chiefly in the United States
and Great Britain. and referred to
! many fables relating to its early or
/ igin, in which its beginning was
ascrIbed by some to the Romans, by
some to the Cloths, and some taking
it back even to old Father Adam

The institution rapidly spread to other
English cities, and in 1909 attempts
were made to reform 1T and to abolish
its convivial character. This iiinoya-

in 1913 convention of the friends of
reform was held at Manchester, when
several Lodges seeded from the
Union Order and formed the indie

and the religion of his father and
mother until he obtained something

I Probably it was necessary for the
satisfaction of the parties interested
and their friends, that the contest of
Mr. Jefferis for the seat of Mr. Bax-
ter in the Senate, should have a thor
ough and unrestricted hearing If SO.
il may justify the appropriation Of
nearly two days of the Senate's time
to the Investigation and argument of
the case Yet nobody imagines that
the result would have been otherwise
than it turned out, had the vote been
taken when the reports of the COM
mittee were first read. nor that il could
have been changed if the trial had
held week longer. To justify con-
test of an election the contestor should
be sure Of two points: First that the
majority of the votes is on his side and
can SO be shown, and secondly that he
has majority in the body where the
case is heard. Without the latter his
chances are as bad as if be had not the
former Of this trial it may be said,
despite the vote of the Senate, that
opinions are still divided as to the
merits Of the case, parties being as
much as ever inclined to dispute
which candidate had the real majority.
In the debate the arguments were
made On both sides with marked abil-
ity, and the spirit of courtesy and hon.
orable strife was eminent, which
has thus far marked all the discus
sions of the Senate. All the evidence
submitted to the committee was read
in open Senate, and the investigation
was as careful as the decision was OBJ
sfinate on party grounds. Only one
or two exceptions were made in the
party vote. Mr. Boone, of Boone
voted with the Republicans for Mr.
Baxter and Mr.. Cree, Of Delaware.
