ORIGIN or ODD FELLOWSHIP:

1t has been supposed by many that
the origin o. the Society OF odd Eel
lows, or rather the organization OF
that association, was Of comparatively
modern date. They will be somewhat
surprised, However, TO learn that its
origin dates as far back as Nero, and
was established by the Roman soldiers
In the year 55. At that time they
were called Fellow Citizens" The
present name was given to them By
Titus Caesar, twenty-fOur years after
ward; and they were so called from
the singular character Of their meet
ing>, and from their knowing cacll
other by means of mysterious signs
and language. At the same time he
presented them with "A dispensatiOn,
engraved on plate Of gold bearing
different elublemS Of morality. In the
NTH century the order was established
in the Spanish dominons, and in
Portugal in the six century. 1t did
not reach France and England until
the eleventh century. 1t was then es-
tablished in the latter country by
John de Nile, who, assisted by five
knights from Frame, formed a Grand
Lodge in London. This ancient
fraternity has now its lodges in every
quarter Of the globe and by its useful
ness and benevolent character, com
mands the respect and countcnance of
all who are acquainted with its nature
and purpose.
Those upon whose information reli.
ance may be placed, give credit to
Baltimore for first Introducing Odd
Fellowship into the United States,
and to Grand Sire Thomas Wilde, who
has gone before" but whose beloved
memory will ever remain green in the
hearts Of all true Odd Fellows, belongs
the honor

time passed rather pleasantly for the

and Tim waved his hand toward a
little house prettily set among some
trees.

In his special message to Congress on
Aug. I, President Cleveland urged the
repeal, of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman Silver act, which compelled
the purchase each month of 450Q, 900
ounces of silver bullion. He spoke of
the alarming and extraordinary bust
ness situation and of the "unfortu-
nate financial plight" and amplified
this view, and also urged that Con-
gress would take other Legislative ac-
tion that should put beyond all doubt
or mistake the intention and ability
of the Government to fulfill it's pecun-
larry obligations in money universally
recognized by all civilized countries"
on Aug. II Chairman Wilson intro
duced bill to repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act The debate

amendments adding provisions for the

changeable value, such equality to be

1914 to nays "a, and the bill was ap-
proved.
So far as the session was concerned,
1t was-besides the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act
barren of results, and the repeal of the
law has not borne the fruit expected.
1t may be said that the extra" ses-
sion failed to accomplish any substan-
tial relief, for the simple reason that q
majority of the Democratic members
of both houses of congress had no con-
fidence in either President Cleveland
or Secretary Carlisle, and that the
lame and impotent conclusions"-o
results, rather-of that extra" session
really laid the foundation of an over
whelming defeat of the Democratic
party in November last.
OF the twelve extra" sessions called,
the first session of the Twelfth con-
gress called by Mr.. Madison, was the
longest (2i5 days., and the second ses-
sion Of the Thirty fourth congress,
called by Mr.. Pierce, was the shortest
(ten days).
The annual expenses of congress ap-
! proxmate four millions of dollars, and
an extra session of congress does not
| cost, besides the printing, to exceed
$4,000 per month, as mileage is allowed
| for but two sessions of congress, while
| the great mass of business left unfin-
| ished at the expiration of each congress
| will readily suggest the absolute neces-
slty of providing for at least three an
nual sessions of each congress- Under
the present law, representative takes
| his seat just thirteen months after his
election to the house of representatives,
| while his term and salary commence
| about four months after his election.
All this will doubtless receive the
| careful consideration of the president
| elect, who has personal knowledge of
! this anomalous condition of affairs, and
| has expressed his personal belief that
it should be corrected by proper legis-
| lation.
