At about 1880 Saturday evening the Still

about 100, accompanied by twenty eight
delegates from the Hudson lodge and eight

.nercial avenue to Second north, on Second
to Cherry west, on Cherry to Third south,
on Third to Chestnut east, on Chestnut to
Second south, on Second to Nelson east, on
Nelson to Main and north on Main to Opera

place. The hall was filled with an attentive
audience and the installation of officers took
place with the usual formalities.
The following officers were installed for
the ensuing year:

Bro. N. Bronson w. u.
Bro John Dahlstrom, ". d. w.
Bro. F. B. Pierce, W.. G..
Bro. Jacob Laun, w. @.
After the installation, Bro. j. G. Gardner,
w. G. T., made neat little speech, thanking
the lodge for the honor conferred on him,
and promising to perform his duties to the
best of his ability.
In the absence of L. E. Thompson, who
had promised to address the lodge, j. w.
Castle was pressed into service. Mr.. Castle
stated that twelve years ago scarcely twelve
persons met in an adjoining hall to organize
the Temple of Honor, and since then the
growth of the lodge has been most rapid. He
heard a person remark that the organization
was dead. If 80, it was like certain political
party said to be dead-a lively corpse. Mr..
Castle then gave a short review of the tenn
perance movement, its rise and growth, its
spread throughout every city and country,
the influence which it brought to
bear on the family circle, etc,
closing with the statement that in the MON
DRY of man now living we will see this
temperance country. Mr. Castle received
frequent applause throughout the address.
Bro. Thomson, w. G. L. of the Hudson
Temple of Honor, was next called on. MIR.
Thomson opened his address with the re-
mark that he was constitutionaliy opposed to
speeches after 8 o'clock P. M, and it was af-
Ter 8, but Judging from the length of his
address he must have meant $50 P. N. Mr.
Thomson's spoke his appreciation of the
temperance movement. After drawing
comparison between. the temperance cause
and the late war, he closed with the exhorta-
ton to let the war of temperance go on I'M
til we obtain complete victory. Mr.. Thorn
son was followed by Bro. Collins and Bro.
Foil, who showed their sympathy in the tenn
perance movement. r
An inviting repast had been prepared at
the s'Live and Let Live" restaurant, to which
the Saltwater members, accompanied by the
visiting brethren who had come .ssupperless, y
repaired at the close of Mr.. Foil's address.
The whole affair passed off pleasantly and
harmoniously, without jar, and proved to
be one of the most interesting installations
which has ever taken place in this city. May
We have many more.
