(By Associated Presn.)
LONDON, June ia representative
Of the Associated Press to-day called
upon Mr.. Gladstone at DOLLS Hill in ref
erence to the proposed invitation to the
great English statesman to visit the
United States.
Mr.. Gladstone said that he regarded It
as impossible that he should be able to
visit the United States that 1t was
probable that the gentlemen said to be
at the head of the movement were aware
Of this, and they merely intended the
invitation as a compliment.

The present noble grand is L. S. Frost.
He is veteran of the late rebellion, hav-
ing served frst enlistment of nine
months in the Twenty-fifth Maine Infant
ry. Upon his discharge from this COM
mand he re-enlisted in the Thirtieth
Maine for three years, serving until the
war closed. He was severely wounded
at Monet's Bluff. He is also past COM
mander of Custer Post, G.. A. R., having
been elected to that position three
terms.
The first offshoot from Stark Lodge
was Manser Encampment, dispensation
for which was granted by the Grand
Encampment April 9th, 1886. Work
was continued under this dispensation
until February, 1887, when a char
ter was issued. All are now living of
the charter members and connected with
the encampment except q. L. Shaw.
The present membership is forty. The
encampment is in a healthy state of ex-
istence, several hundred dollars in it's
treasury and constantly gaming in it's
influence and numbers. The encamp-
ment has furnished one Grand Patriarch
for the Grand Encampment of Vermont,
N. NJ. Puffer, who served one term.

BENNINGTON ODD FELLOWS.
To Dedicate a New HaII-History Of
The Lodges.

The BANNER has already published
much of what follows, but, in connection
with the Dedication last evening it may
be of interest to reproduce part of the
Sunday Budget article of the 22nd, inst.
For the use of the cuts we are indebted
to the proprietors of the Budget, and we
have taken occasion to correct one or
two misprints. The Budget says:
A writer who stood high in the order
once wrote: "The temple of Odd Fellow
ship rises before us in the notices and
emblems of the order.' The same idea
impresses itself on the minds of the visi-
tor when entering the rooms just finished
and fitted up for the use of the Odd
Fellows, organizations in this village, a
description of which has recently been
published in our columns.
The committee having the general ar
rangements in charge are Trustees N. M.
Puffer, M. W. Stewart, j. E. Walsh. Re-
ception committee, j. K. Walbridge and
wife, e. S. Harris and wife, j. H., Ayres
and wife, II. L. Hover and wife, l.. l..
Tiffany and wife.
A brief history of the various branches
of the organizations that are to occupy
the rooms may we'll be given. The par
ent of all is Stark Lodge, No. 8, which
began its existence under dispensation
granted by the Sovereign Grand Lodge,
February 18th, 1S47. The persons named
in the warrant were Calvin ellison, Ber-
nard Golden, Parsons johnson, W. B..
Booth, S. M. Robinson. Jr., r. Fl. Coven-
try. Four of the members had previous
ly belonged to Oneco Lodge, No. 100 of
North Adams, and were given clearance
cards, so that they might Join the Lodge
as charter members. The first officers
were: Calvin ellison, N. g.; r. Fl. Coy
entry, V. g.; Parsons johnson, secre-
tary; S. M. Robinson, Jr., treasurer.
December 26th, the same year, charter
was issued by the Grand Lodge of Yer
mont the same being signed by James
Mitchell, M. w. G. M; Charles W..
Bradbury, r. W. D, G. M; j. B. Dan
forth, R. W. G. S.; Evelyn Pierpont, w.
G. Treasurer; Samuel H. Price, past
grand master.
This lodge was the second one to fur
nlsh grand master from its charter
members, William B. Booth, who was
elected in 1854 and served one term. An
other past grand master is H. l.. Stillson,
who was elected in 1884, and who was
also grand representative to the Sover-
eign Grand Lodge in 1SS6-S7. j. r. Bur-
ton, one of the early members, was also
grand secretary of the Grand Lodge seY-
eral years. A session of the Grand
Lodge was held with this Lodge in 1888.
The Lodge has prospered, and now has
a membership of 100, with applications
continually coming in, and some hun
dreds of dollars in its treasury and no
debts

Grover Cleveland has issued a fresh
declaration of war against American
wages and homes. Stripped of its YER
biage, its pretenses and its platitudes.
the Presidents letter to Chauncey f.
Black is demand that the Democratic
party shall persevere in its work of de-
struction. Mr. Cleveland never saws
anything in simple and straightforward
manner. He never speaks without an
assumption of superior virtue and pro-
fession of superior wisdom which forci
bly, recall that Pharisee who publicly re-
joiced that he was not as other men.
The more vicious and destructive the OBJ
ject which he urges, the more thorough
ly does he adopt the tone of solemn
humbug. His Free Trade message of
1887, the results of which have cost the
country more money than it took to put
down the Rebellion, was couched in
terms of pompous can't His letter to
Free Trader Chauncey F. Black. in
which he urges that the Democracy shall
finish its work of impoverishment and
ruin, is framed in the same hypooritical
phraselogy.

DAUGHTERS OF VERMONT.

Inspired by the success which has at
tended the reunions of the Sons of Yer
mont in various States, the Daughters Of
Vermont are seeking to emulate the ex-
amples of their brothers by forming SIM
liar organizations. A society of the
Daughters of Vermont has already been
formed in Boston, and similar society
is about to be organized in Minneapolis,
and the Green Mountain Girls in other
States will soon fall into line. The
Daughters of Vermont in Boston signal
lied their formation on the evening of
Wednesday, April 18th, by giving a re-
ception to Governor and Mrs. Levi K.
Fuller of Brattleboro, and to Lieutenant
Governor and Mrs. F. S. Stranahan of st.
Albans. Governor Greenhalge and
members of his staff and their wives
were present, and the first social gather
ing of this young society was gratify-
ing success. There are said to be $4,000
Vermonters living in Boston and sub
urbs and vicinity, and there ought to bo
no difficulty in making the series of so
cial events, of which this is to be only
the first.

The present chief patriach is NJ. E.
Watson, who, although young man, is
an earnest member of the craft, and has
taken every degree possible for him to
take.
With the establishment of yet higher
branch of Odd Fellowship came a natu-
raj desire on the part of many of the
brothers for the location of a canton
here. Application was accordingly made
and July 18th, 1887, Canton Bennington,
No. 4, was chartered with 26 charter
members. N. NJ. Puffer was the first
commandant, f. M. Tiffany, lieutenant,
and e. S. Harris, ensign. All of the char
ter members are now living except F.
H. Scott.
The canton made its first public ap-
pearance at the laying of the corner
stone of the Bennington Battle Monu-
ment, August, 10th, 1887, turning out
twenty-five well-drilled men in full uni
form in less than a month after being

who has filled many offices in the Order
and also represented the grand encamp-
ment of Vermont in the Sovereign Grand
Lodge at the sessions held at ST. Louis
and in Portland, Ore. Colonel Puffer is
also veteran of the late rebellion, hav-
ing enlisted as musician in the Second
Vermont Regimental Band, June 10,
1861, and was discharged December 10Th,
of the same year. June 10Th, 1862, he
enlisted as musician in Company E.,
Tenth Vermont. He was transferred to
the Veteran Reserve Corps, September
90th, 1864, and mustered out June 29th,
1865. He is also prominent g. A. r..
man, having filed the position of post
commander two terms.
Last, but not least, is Miriam Rebekah
Lodge, No s, which was chartered De-
cember 18th, 1882. The charter mem
bers were forty-four in number, large
majority of whom are yet members of
the lodge. Miriam Lodge has gained a
National reputation by reason of it's be-
ing the originator of the "Beautified
Work." which has been largely adopted
throughout the country. 1t has had a
steady gain in membership and at the
last annual convention it reported 1OS
members, since which time several new
members have been added. The noble
grand of the Lodge is Mrs. G. d. Gibson.
The Lodge has furnished the following
officers to the Rebekah Convention: Mrs.
II. L. Stillson, Mrs. N. NJ. Puffer, presi-
dents, who also represented the State at
the National Rebekah Convention at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago.

1t is reported that the Democratic
leaders in the Senate have decided to take
steps toward disciplining Senator Hill,
his attitude being declared inimical to
Democratic interests. His recent speech
has created CONSERVATION in Democratic
circles, and has been a severe blow to
the tariff bill. Too many truths were
told which, coming from a Democratic
Senator, bear with them an immense
weight. He now holds several impor-
tant positions on the Senate Committee,
and if intentions hold good he may lose
some of them.

President Cleveland makes mistake,
in our Judgment, in contributing money
to campaign clubs. 1t comports with
neither the dignity nor decency of his
great office. Once the potential pro-
moter of civil service reform, Mr.. Cleve-
land seems to have degenerated into an
exceedingly practical politician. His
letter to Mr.. Black, we must say in all
candor, smacks more of demagogy than
craftsmanship, an inference that is
strengthened by the check that was en-
closed. Troy Press.

THE DEDICATION.

The exercises attending the Diamond
Anniversary (75th annually, of American
Odd Fellowship, and the Dedication of
Odd Fellows Hall, in the Opera House
block, were held last evening, as adver-
tised. The elegant invitations, among
the finest of the printers art, called out
a large and representative assembly OF
Bennington and Bennington county peo-
pie, including many from more distant
parts of Vermont. More than six hun
dred of our best people graced the occa-
sion with their presence. Among those
from out of town, of the Grand Lodge,
we note: Henry C. Farrar, grand master;
II. E. Parker, grand secretary; II. W.
Hall, past grand master. These were
accompanied by their wives. Hon.
Henry Clark, past grand master, F. NJ.
Warner and others. There was quite a
goodly delegation from Manchester and
Rutland. Grand Master Farrar, presided
at the Dedication ceremonies, and he
was supported by Messrs. Hall and
Parker. The Rev. Thos. Rogers, chap
lain of Stark Lodge, acted as Grand
Chaplain; Emory S. Harris as Grand
Marshal, and in the enforced absence of
w. d. Wilson, by reason of sickness,
Henry Clark made the address of the oc-
casion. His subject was the rise, prog
ress and aims of the institution.
The Heralds were east, L. S.
Frost; west, NJ. w. Stewart; south, H.
L. Hover; north, E. B. Griswold. The
audience were called to order by N. NJ.
Puffer, chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees of Stark Lodge, who called the
Grand Master to the chair. He also in
frnHtlaad fha cpoalyarc anA ttand V.racanf
ed the keys" as per the Ritual. 1t is
the unanimous verdict of the grand Off
GERS that the ceremony was pronounced
in Vermont. The only unfortunate
had not thought to build the altar"
ing doors, so that all could have heard
and witnessed the impressive cere-
monial.
The Chaplain's speech was good one
and the interest in it was enhanced, be-
cause of his removal to-day from South
Shaftsbury to Vergennes. Bros. Parker
and Hall were entertaining as is their
wont, Alderman Hall telling story to
bring down the house, as usual. The
music by Goldsmith's orchestra enliv-
ened the occasion, and song by Miss
May Loomis, secretary of Miriam Lodge,
was enthusiastically encored. Miss Es-
tabrook rendered piano solo, which
was we'll received.
The formal programme ended, supper
was served in the banquet room, more
than two hundred sitting down to the
tables at one time. The Rebekahs pre-
sided, under the direction of Mrs. G. D.
Gibson, N. G., and Mesdames Puffer and
Stewart, committee, with a small army
of others as assistants. Ample justice
was done to the feast, and all went home
complimenting the committees and the
Order ON the success of the affair.
The BANNER has, recently, given full
description of the elegant quarters now
occupied by the Odd Fellows of Ben
nington. The space, of about 5000
square feet,is partitioned into convenient
sub divisions of rooms for the use of the

By the talk of the Democratic States
men before election, it was supposed
that the Democratic party could do
neat and quick job of reforming the tar
iff, but the fact that the tariff bill has
been before Congress for over 130 days,
and the end not yet thought of, shows
that the party knows less about legisla-
ting than it was given credit for.

to charge the editor of the BANNER with

meant, where the BANNER was made to
say that Celery Compound had come out
for Mr.. Vail for lieutenant-governor.
Mr.. TInkham was meant, as probably
everybody knows, because the Celery

runs may read" Both gentlemen are
from Pomfret, and we hasten to do JUS
