anti Masonic excitement which had
been growing since 1924 had. been in
creasing to that extent thatin that year
it was decided not to meet again. From
that time until 1874 Nathan B. Haswell,
then grand master, E. 7. ERglesby,
grand treasurer and John B. Hollenbeck,
grand secretary, who lived near the
Grand Lodge room, held biennial ses-
sions in secret, adjourned the Grand
Lodge in due form and kept it aliYe.
Since that time Masonry has fourished
in the State and there are now under the
jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, 103
subordinate Lodges and 10000 brothers.
There are some pleasing incidents con-
nected with the centennial observance.
AS the Grand Master at the beginning of
the century, was Bennington county
man, so the Grand Master at the close of
the century is from the same county,
John II. Whipple, who was made ma
son in Adoniram Lodge of Manchester,
in which town the Grand Lodge was
born. Another pleasing feature will be
the fact that the Most Worshipful Grand
Master will, on that day, celebrate his
49th birthday. Since the Grand Lodge
has been in existance, there have been
% Grand Masters. OF these Addison
county has furnished 2, Bennington 2,
Chittenden 4, Caledonia 2, Franklin 4,
Rutland 2, Washington l, Windham 3,

Masonic Centennial.

The Tooth annual communication of the
Grand Lodge of Vermont F. & A. NJ,
will be held in Burlington June 18th and
14th, next. In connection with it will be
observed the centennial of the founding
of the Grand Lodge, the first meeting of
which, was held in Manchester, August
9th, 1894. At that time there were five
Lodges in the State, two of them, Tenn
pie at Bennington, and North Star at
Manchester, being in this county. On
that date, representatives from four of
the Lodges met at Manchester and after
eleoting chairman and secretary ad-
journed until the next day. at that
meeting a committee was formed to re-
port constitution and bylaws, and the
Secretary instructed to correspond with
the Lodges not represented at this meet
ing, asking them to send delegates to
Rutland the second Thursday in October,
to complete the organization of the
Grand Lodge. This was done, and on
October 14th, 1894, the Grand Lodge was
organized and Noah Smith, a member OF
Temple Lodge of this town was elected
grand master; Enoch Woodbridge,
deputy grand master; John Chapman,
senior grand warden; lothian White,
junior grand warden. Noah Smith was
grand master for four years. He was
born in Sufield, Conn.,, and graduated at
Yale College with high honors in ITS,
among his class being Noah Webster,
the photographer, Chief Justice Zeph-
ania Swift and U. S. Senator, Uriah
Tracy.
At the close of his college course he
came to Bennington to reside and Au-
gust 10th, 177s, delivered the Grafton at
the first celebration of the Battle of Ben
nington. He was admitted to the bar
at Westminster, May Goth, 1779. He
removed to Milton in 1900 and died there
Christmas day 1872, aged 81 years. John
Chapman was elected grand master in
1907, and held the Office until 1914.
The Grand Lodge held regular sessions
until 1886 when the last election of grand
officers for several years took place. The

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.
NEWPORT, Vt, April 25th, 1894.
General Orders, No. 8. .'l
The annual observance of May 30th, as
a day of sacred and tender memories,
which isVery properly designated Memor-
ial Day, again approaches our vision.
With the return of Spring come remi-
niscences of hurried preparation, all along
the lines, for the opening of campaigns;
and we are all reminded of the scenes and
incidents of years ago, in which we were
among the actors While the memories
of those days, and years, Of hardship and
suffering, and sacrifice, continue with
our life, we would remember those who
marched forth but came not back. This
day. sacred more than all others, to the
veterans of the Union, should be more
generally observed from year to year.
There is scarcely cemetery in our state,
in which does not rest some fallen COM
rade, whose grave should be
"Covered DER with beautiful flowers"
1t is legal holiday in our state, and it
should not be permitted to lay aside its
| solemn and beautiful rites which appeal
to the kindlier and gentler instincts of 10y
atty and patriotism, and which deepen and
solidify our love for our country and flag
and the principle which it represents.
In accordance with the usages of the
day, it is hoped that the entire people
will join in the Memorial services. 1t is
the wish of this department that every
Post of the G. A. R. attend divine service
| in body upon the Sabbath preceding
Memorial Day, where, from previous
arrangements suitable service may be
rendered. Not only members of our Or
der but all who wore the blue, as we'll as
the members of Relief Corps, together
with children and youth, who are yet to
be the saviors of our land, should be
asked to attend this Memorial service.
In the afternoon of the day preceding
Memorial Day, it is requested that every
public school in our State dispense with
the usual custom of recitations, and de-
vote the afternoon to study,or review,
of the causes, incidents, and results of
the rebellion. Such an afternoon service
can be rendered very interesting aad in
structive with little preparation, in
reading, recitations, and songs with re-
marks from the teachers, and from one or
prove valuable lesson of loyalty and
patriotism to the young. x
On Memorial Day, it is requested that all
| the public and private schools be asked to
| Join in the exercises of the occasion, and
that they may be made to feel that each
has part to perform, be it only to lay a
wreath, or flower above the resting
J place of a comrade or friend.
Comrades Let us all come together
upon this day of memories, and, forget
ting the animosities of the war, endeavOr
to prove that we are now part of q
grand citizenship, earnestly striving to
advance the interests of our common
country, and perpetuating the principles
underlying our government, and that We
are still loyal to the advancement and
glory of our Republic. sf

o. M. Tinkham published a card in
the Woodstock Standard last week,
claiming that it was quite an honor to
have his four column picture in all the
leading newspapers of the country in
connection with patent medicine testi-
monial. He doesn't say so, but it may
be inferred from the reading that he is
just as mad about the Bennington BAN
NER's terrible blunder in calling him Mr..
Vail as some of the latter gentleman's s
friends appear to be at getting their can
didate confused with Mr., Tinkham.
Probably each man considers his chances
ruined for the lieutenant governorship.
If this apprehension prove true the his
toric grounds of Bennington will at once
sink into common back pasture lot
Northfield News.

When Coxey Started out with his army

When Coxey Started out with his army
from Massillon, Ohio, his announced pur-
pose was to address the whole United
States from the steps of the National Cap
itol. After conviction in the Washington
police court he limits his ambition to a
desire to speak to one of the committees
of congress, and all he wishes to talk
about is good roads. In other words, he
asked audience of the whole American
people, but is willing to compromise on
group Of Democratic congressman.
Given this, he promices to take his little
army and run home. He should be
granted the favor.

The Free Press says: "The statement
which has appeared in several exchanges,
including one printed outside of the State,
to the effect that Gen. Theodore S. Peck
would not again he candidate for the
position of adjutant general of Vermont,

compromisers who haye been arranging
a series of dickers with the representa-
tives of the Sugar and other trusts, and
with discontented Senators whose inter-
cts had been insuficiently cared for.
