Secretary of State John She,r
man, of Ohio, celebrated his 74th
birthday Monday night, at his
residence in Washington. All the
official and diplomatic world was
there, and the hale and hearty old
statesman from the Buckeye State
was called upon and congratulated
by the majority of the men in po~
liticll life in the nations capital
city. President Mckinley, who
had been serenaded by the Mexican
band early in the evening, took
the band around to the Secretary's
and gave him a tune or two. Sem
ators, Representatives, judges and
diplomats sent bouquets and pres
ents till the house could hardly
contain them, and in the midst of
all the music and flowers and fes-
tivity, the old man, in whose
honor they were, quite forgot that
he had climbed up the Alps of
life till his head had been frosted
with their perpetual SHOWS, and
declared that he felt as young as
in the springtime of his days.
The old man is not on our side.
but he has a big brain, and he
has employed it TO do the State
some service. We have no grudge
against him because he has
changed his mind sometimes on
public questions, and we are not
mad with him because he has
laid by in store for the rainy
day some of this worlds goods.
We are hospitable to old age, so
hail and good day to Sherman
and lis seventy-four years.

MIR. DORTCH'S REPORT.

A Fine Paper. P~ortraying the Progress of
h Order and the Frightening Flu.
ture He Declines to Stand For the
Nomination of Grand Representative
Our esteemed young townsman
and brilliant Odd Fellow MI. w.
L. Dortch, Past Grand Master of
the order in this State, under
whose recent administration the
order has made, perhaps, the
greatest strides in its proud his
tory of benevo'eace and philan-
throphy, among other accomplish
ments beginning and completing
its magnificent Orphanage near
this city, concludes his elaborate
report to the Grand Lodge IN the
following graceful and commend
able language, which speaks for
itself
It is with infinite gratitude that
I herewith recognize the kind
partiality that the noble institu>
ton of Odd Fellowship has mani
tested towards me. Since the night
of my Initiation into it's beauti~
full and sublime mysteries, it has
with kind persistence pushed me
"a step higher" until the Grand
Masters gavel was placed in my
hands. There I must call a halt.
After careful and mature de-
liberation of years, l am convin-
ced that our system of electing
the retiring Grand Master, by
virtue alone of that fact, as our
Grand Representative is hurtful
to our order and should be abol-
ished. AS evidence of that, you
will recall the fact that this
Jurisdiction furnished the Grand
Sire of the World. We achieved
| that distinction by putting our
best and strongest brother for
ward as our Grand Representa-
tive, and by keeping him there,
If we wish to keep up in the
line of progress with other
Jurisdictions. we must return tc
that system. Holding these views
in the matter, the remedy to me
is plain-some Grand Master
must break the precedent by dec
lining to stand for election as
Grand Representatives and surely
none can be found who will more
readily curb his ambition for the
good of Odd Fellowship than I.
Please consider this determina-
ton irrevocable. My duty is
plain, and I have tried to do it.
Your duty is now to select the
proper nj to represent you, and
[ earnestly entreat you to make
no mistake. Please bear in mind
that the brother who talks the
longest and the loudest on the
floor at the Grand Lodge fires
quently therein shows you the
sum total Of his labors for the
good of the Order, and may moi
te the best qualified to serve as
your representative. l thank yor
deeply, and must ever remain
your debtor.
May the God of the Widow,
the Orphan aud the Dad Fellow
govern and direct your every act
aud abide with you Away.
Fraternally,
VIM. T. DoRTCH,
Grand Master.
