Montana'S Odd Fellows.
1T WAS A ROYAL DAY,
An Impressive Parade; Interesting
Addresses and a Grand Ball
The Celebration a Sue
cess at Every Point.

Odd Fellowship IN Montana dates from
March ~. 1867, when Montana Lodge No
I was organized in Helena by G. Duncvan,
district deputy grand sire. The infant
lodge numbered 10 members who chose
as their officer the first term Titus Molitor,
noble grand; NJ. Silvcrn, vice giand; Mas
sena Billiard, Secretary; Charles L. Ducr,
treasurer. II was not until four years
had passed that a second lodge was insti-
tutcd. This was Cottonwood No. ., or
ganizcd at Deer Lodge, June II, ISL.
About the same time Bannack No. 3 was
formed. followed April %, 1872 by the
Western Star lodge Of Bozeman.
ON July 10, 1874. the first grand lodge
was instituted AT Helena by Deputy Grand
Sire ID. "A. Cuthbert. The lodges already
named were present with tho exception OF
Bannack lodge. ID. III. Cuthbcrt was
chosen grand master; l.. +. Holmes.
deputy grand master; Joseph A. Hyde,
grand warden; Archibald Graham, grand
secretary; Ed Frank, grand treasurer.
A%ppointivc officers were John A. Bradley,
grand marshal; c. Hale, grand conductor;
ID. Vincent, grand guardian; Peter Lans-
ing. grand herald. The representatives
were: lodge No.. I, Charles +. Duer. j. l..
Davis, G.. II. Hale, T.. Frank and ID. Vim
cent; No. ., Joseph A. Hyde, Peter Lans-
ing, l.. L. Holmes, John A. Brady; No. 4,
Arch. Graham.
An idea Of the rapid advancement OF
Odd Fellowship may be seen In the
growth i'm membership and prosperity
since the grand lodge was formed.
Instead of four lodges there are
"a active lodges. two having died. The
membership has grown from iG5 to 1850.
During 1879 the income amounted 10 S25.-
iGl 81, and the sum Of S3,Gss.l1 was dis
tributcd for relief. There are also five
lodges of the Daughters Of Rebckah, with
a membership of $50. None of the many
orders that nave been transplanted into
Montana have flourished more luxur-
iantly than Odd Fellowship. In six years
its membership has been multiplied by 10,
while uniformly throughout its history ] n
Montana the members of the order have
been noted for true citizenship and de-
voted Amcricanism.

were crowded with a~ppreciative spccta-
tors, and the splendid display was
watched with an interest which
was the best demonstration of
its success. One Of the features Of The
parade was the goat which preceded the

An Austrian chemist has devised what
he believes 10 bc the most feasible as well
as economical process for silvering arti-
clcs of iron. The article Is first plunged

mercury nitrate and connected with the
zinc pole of n Bunscn element. gas car
bon or platinum serving as the other pole.
Ii is rapidly covered with "A layer of quick
silver. when il is removed, washed and
transferred 10 a silver bath and silvered.
BY heating To 572 degrees Fahrenheit the
mercury is driven of and the silver firmly
fixed on the iron. To save silver the wire
can he first covered with a layer of tin +;
one part of cream of tarter is dissolved in
eight parts Of boiling water, and one or
more tin modes are Joined with the car
bon pole OF a Bunsen element. The zinc
pole communicates with a well-cleaned
piece 81 copper and the battery made
to act until sufficient tin has been depos-
tied ON the copper. when this Is taken out
and h ironwarc put in its place. The
wire thus covered with tin chemically pure
and silyercd is much cheaper than any
other silver metals.
