TAMMANY HALL AND BROKEN WINDOW.
erty Boys became more aggressive and their
acts resulted in numerous conflicts. They
had songs bearing on the questions at issue,
among the most popular of which was "The
Liberty Tree" composed by Thomas Paine
The following was the refrain:
From the east TO the west blow the trumpet to
arms,
Thro' the land let the sound Of It fee;
Let the far and the near all unite with cheer
In defense Of our Liberty Tree.
There is likely some connection between
these raisings Of liberty poles and the pine
tree, which was common device on colonial
flags.
The Tammany society, or Columbian order,
was founded in 1859. At first it was not ex-
clusively a political society, but was partly
benevolent, one Of Its objects being to civilize
the Indians and make trading citizens Of
them. In July. 1870, the Tammany society
made its first public appearance The oc-
casion was the visit of a number of Chero-
kee Indian chiefs to New York for the pur-
pose of making treaty with a view to SELL
ing large tract of their lands. The MEM
bers OF the Tammany society assembled at
the wigwam and marched to the Battery,

Matters of Some Interest Regarding the

Where the Society for So Many Years

New York's Tammany society, whose hall
was recently ruined by fire. is a very old asso-
citation Its originators are said to have been
the Liberty Bows, who at the time of those
angry disputes which preceded the revolu-
ton were in the habit Of erecting liberty
poles with appropriate ceremonies In the
state of New York. These liberty poles,
which excited the ire Of the British, were fire.

Fowle and Holt. Dockery and Pritchard,
Before the People.
Daniel G. Fowle, Democratic nominee for
governor Of North Carolina, was born in
Washington, Beaufort county, n. c., in 1881.
AT 90 years Of age he was graduated at
Princeton college with honor, and, returning
to North Carolina, studied law. He was adj
nlitted to the bar in 1858, and soon after be-
came resident Of Raleigh. He soon became
a lawyer of eminence, but his career as an
attorney was interrupted to enter the Con-
federate service as a lieutenant Of infantry.
He was made major and assistant commits
sary of subsistence, but was soon after
promoted to be lieutenant colonel He was
captured by Burnside's force at the battle Of
Roanoke Island in 1862, but was paroled not
long after. In the autumn of the same year
he was elected to the legislature, and upon
its adjournment Governor Vance made him
adjutant general In 1868 he resigned and
again entered the legislature. At the close
of the war be was made judge Of the North
Carolina superior court.
Judge Fowle resigned his judgeship in 1857;
since that time he has held a number Of posi-
tons of trust.
Col Thomas III. Holt, the nominee Of the
Democratic party Of North Carolina for the
position of lieutenant governor, was born
July u, 1881, in Orange county, in that por-

In 1892 there was celebration by the so
ciety of the third centennial Of the discovery
Of America by Columbus, and monument
to the discoverer was erected in the museum,
which was contained in the second story Of a
building on Broad street, New York. In
this museum were kept the battle axes, toma-
hawks, clubs, pipes, ETC., and other presents
which had been received by the society. 1t
was under the care of a doorkeeper. Gar
diner Baker was the first incumbent. He
was permitted TO charge small entrance fee.
He became so eIorbitant in his charges that
it produced trouble. The matter was finally
compromised by Bakers agreeing to admit
the members of the society free. When
Baker died the museum was sold 1t formed
the nucleus of Scudder's, which was later
Rarnum's museum.

The 25oth anniversary Of the organization
Of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery COM
paBy, of Boston, was recently celebrated In
that city with great pomp and flourish of
trurnpets, and the parent company from Eng
land came over and helped them make old
Feneuil hall ring with witty speechmaking
aud the clinking of glasses.
The English Ancient and Honorable with
a III Artillery company is one Of the oldest
military organizations in existence, having
first marched to the sound of fife and drum
in l537--twenty-seven years before Shake
speare was born, twenty one years before
Elizabeth assembled the throne of England
and the first arms they carried were bows and
arrows.
Just 100 years later the Ancient and Hon
orabie Artillery company of Boston was or
ganized, and its work was of far more
active and dangerous nature than that of the
parent company, the extent Of whose exploits
was probably little more than an occasional
suppression Of a prentices' riot
When the first white settlers settled In
Massachusetts, as is known to every school
boy who has read his history of the colonies,
they were surrounded by wild and savage
tribes of Indians, who were exceedingly

them continually, thus rendering the subject

SOME OF TIE AMERICAN HONoRABLES.
Several of the settlers had been members
OF the Honorable Artillery company Of Lon
don, and were men who had in that way be-
come somewhat proficient in martial duties,
and it occurred to these to establish such a
company in their new colony.
A petition was sent to Governor Winthrop
for charter of incorporation. but it was re-
fused, the governor stating in letter that
he considered it dangerous ''to erect stand
ing authority Of military men," which might
easily in time overthrow the civic power if
it thought ct TO do So 1t was also supposed
that religious feeling had much to 90 with
the refusal, as several of the prominent mem
bers of the company were warm adherents OF
the movement to introduce the Baptist faith
into the colony. Finally, however, after
considerable persistence, charter was OBJ
tanned, and in 1858 the company became a
regularly organized and permanent factor.

It has been a nattcr Of doubt as to what
the uniform Of the company was, or whether
it had any on its formation, the records for
sixty years having been lost but it is prob
able that dark coats and buff vests and small
clothes were worn on parades, as they are
thus described by Rev. DR.. Benjamin Cole
man, who preached the centennial sermon in
1888. The next uniform adopted was scarlet
coat. crimson silk stockings and light colored
small clothes, shoes with silver buckles and a
large cooked hat trimmed with gold lace
quite a gorgeous outfit, and one which no
doubt had a tremendous effect upon the
pretty maids of Boston.
In the summer OF 1112 a new uniform was
adopted, consisting Of blue coats and lapels,
with yellow buttons, small clothes, shoes
with silver buckles and dubbed wigs. The
members Of the company seem to have held
rather diverse opinions as to the uniforms,
for at one time regularity of uniform was
