THE HARRlSoNS AS SOLDIERS.
The Military Record of the Family
Brought to Light.

brought to Light.
From their high military titles 1t is
doubtful if many people ever associated
the President and his lllustrious
grandfather General William Henry
Harrison, with the humber military
titles and grades. General BEN
Harrison entered the military service as
a lieutenant and raised company, after
ward Company A of the Seventieth In
diana, whereupon Governor Oliver p.
Morton, on July %, 1862, commissioned
him captain. When he had completed
the organization of the regiment he was
promoted, on August z, 1862, to the office
of colonel, and mustered into active
service the same day.
From colonel he rose to the rank Of
brigadier-general of volunteers. While
these facts are matters of comparative
recent history, the early military career
of General William Henry Harrison is
not so we'll known, and it will surprise
many to learn that President William
Henry Harrison entered the army as n
private soldier. The following extract
from q letter written by Benjamin Har'
rison, 'the signer'', and father of
William Henry Harrison. to Major
General Charles Scott, afterward Gov
ernor of Kentucky, and dated October
10, 1892, establishes this fact. He CON
ciudes his letter:
"And now, before I take my leave
permit me,to tell you my son, youth OF
| 10 years of age, have sent forward IN
the character of private soldier under
Captain Rollins. His youth and mex
perience, / have no doubt, will stand in
need of your friendship, therefore l pray
you teach him the duties of his station
and if any accident should happer
! him, pay some attention to him.
Your obedient and humble servant,
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The NEW LAW governing the details of
executions and the disposal of the
dead bodies OF capital offenders in New
York is very nearly barbaric, and com.
pletely destroys the beautiful sentiment
embodied in the story of the thief on the
cross. The New York criminal is to have
no funeral rites and he is to be chucked
into the ground OF the prison yard like a
dead dog. 1t is well enough to deprive
criminals of life; it would be better If
more were served so than are, but the
law should go no further than that A
murderer's life should be given to the
law, his body to his friends and his soul
TO his Maker.

properly embraced IN the MasUIIlc Tempe IN
Indianapolis and is clear of debt. The grand
lodge of Virginia has two fine pieces of
property in Richmond, and, although still in
debt, its rentals and finances are said to be
managed with sagacity and success. The
grand lodge of Maryland is working with
better success than formerly TO reduce its
burdensome debt on its temple in Baltimore
The grand lodge of Pennsylvania has still a
burdensome debt on its magnificent temple
in Philadelphia, but its financial manage
ment has always been above reproach.
Probably for some reasons of discipline
among the fraternity in that jurisdiction, the
debt is scarcely alluded to in public, and
many brethren in other states have an idea
that the Philadelphia temple is entirely free
of debt Aperusal of the report of the grand
lodge viii easily correct that impression.
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan have steered clear
of the temple mania. Kentucky has a fine
property in Louisville. and is not out of debt.
The subject of founding and maintaining
Masonic homes and asylums may be consid-
cred as a settled policy among the fraternity
in the United States, says The Rochester
Post Express. In both North Carolina and
Kentucky orphan asylums have been in sue
persistently fostered by the grand lodges in
those jurisdictions In Pennsylvania and
Illinois homes have been established, but
without financial aid from grand lodges. In
Indiana and Ohio the need of them are adj
mitted, but SO far rhetorical hourishes are
the outcome.
We have confidence to believe, however,
that in the course of Il year or two both In
diana and Ohio will carry on the good work
in a more tangible form. By individual effort
in Michigan an eligible site has been secured
adjacent to Grand Rapids, and the grand
lodge has a committee to report at the annual
communication next January ''to what ex-
tent, if any, this grand lodge and the lodges
of the state should become identified with
this institution" 1t may be that in other
Jurisdictions the same subject has been agi-
tated and the pathway made so plain that
not many years can elapse before the Masons
must enlarge their field of charitable work in
the direction indicated. New York state
will soon have home, and that too without
running in debt.

Of Odd Fellows in Columbus, and it was
principally due to his efforts that the move
nent was a success. Month after month and
day and night he devoted his personal efforts
to this work, visiting lodges and talking to
his brethren whenever he could meet them,
en- the subject.
As member of the committee of the board
Of trade appointed to cooperate with the
order he took part in their deliberations and
IN company with his colleague, Mr.. Andrew
Gardner, Jr., visited every lodge in the city,
soliciting financial aid for the cause. When
the time came for the meeting of the sover-
eign grand lodge at Boston he, at a sacrifice
of previously laid plans, started off at a
few hours warning to assist the board of
trade committee His labors in introducing
the committee to the representatives and his
work with the special committee of the SOW
ereign grand lodge put the finishing touches
to his pet object.
The deceased was a member of the Masonic
fraternity, past grand among the Odd Eel
lows, a member of the Daughters of Rebekah,
a past chancellor and member of the uniform
rank of the Knights of Pythias He was

Philadelphia's Coming Celebration-other
Items of Interest.
On the 18th of June the Odd Fellows of
Philadelphia will have a celebration, the pro
ceeds of which are to be divided between
their two charitable institutions-the Or
phans and Old Mems homes Among the
features of the day will be parade, in which
all the local cantons and many from outside
the state will participate.
The grand master of Rhode Island, in his
annual report, pays the ladies this compli-
Inent: For the past year the Rebekah degree
has, to a certain extent in this jurisdiction,
been in charge of lady deputies, and I have
taken special pains to watch the result, and
can say that believe the change is. for the
best. They have performed the work as
signed to them in a very creditable manner
not only at the installation of officers, but in
ell things appertaining to the duties Of their
Office.
The idea obtains in some lodges that man
more than 40 years old should not be admit
ted to membership. What will such brothers
say Wien they learn that John Brown, man
II years of age, was initiated in Leola lodge,
Manchester, N. h, recently7 There was a
large attendance of brethren to witness the
unusual event 1t is not probable that the
parallel can be found in the country and per-
haps not in the world Brother Brown en-
joyed the ceremony and is looking forward
with interest to the time when he can take
the degrees. He is a man Of character and
influence in the town and the lodge is proud
TO receive him as member. The lodge claims
that as soon as possible it will confer on him
official honors.
A German speaking Rebekah lodge is about
TO be instituted at Denver, Colo, the second
one in this country.
The first ofFicersof lodge instituted during
the last half of term must hold to the end
of the succeeding term.
The Odd Fellows hall at Savannah, Ga,
worth $4,000, was burned recently.
The Odd Fellows home of New Jersey is
out of debt. Several applicants are awaiting
admission and an addition is contemplated to
the buildings. We are proud of New jerseys
Odd Fellows.
