THE GRAND LODGE, 10. OF.
WILL HOLD ANNUAL SESSION IN
WATERBURY IN MAY.

Some of the Details of the Programme
The Event VIII be a Notable one-some
Gossip About the Election of Officers
One Contest-The Success of Grandmaster
Biair's Administration.
Waterbury, Mrch 30--The 5Sth an
nual session of the Connecticut grand
lodge, l. o. o. F., will open in this city
on May 49, A joint committee COM
posed of members of Nosahogan and
Townsend lodges have in hand the ar
rangements, which, by the way, are to
be of unique character Already the
committee have begun to make elabor-
ate preparations. Waterbury Odd Eel
lows intend to make the visit of their
brethren to this city a memorable one.
One Of the chief events will be the de-
gree work. The officers of both lodges
will exemplify the degree jointly
which will be a spectacle in itself-l5O
men on the floor at one time. This
work will be performed on the Monday
evening preceding the opening day
"wednesday of the grand lodge ses-
sion, for the benefit of Waterbury Odd
Fellows. On Tuesday the annual meet
ing of the l. o. o. F. Home Incorpora-
tors will be held. At this meeting each
lodge will be represented by two dele
gates, one who is elected, and the other
life incorporation.
On Tuesday evening the degree work
will be put on for the benefit of the
grand lodge officers and visiting breth-
rem. An entertainment program will
be provided, part of which will be
some very fine vocal music. This part
will be under the direction of George
e. Boyd. Mr.. Boyd will select dou-
BILE quartet from both lodges. Several
soloists will be added, making in all
about 80 voices
On Wednesday the grand lodge ses-
sion will open. The election of officers
is usually without any special incident,
as the grand lodge officers usually sue
coed to the respective chairs without
any noticeable opposition. This year
however, there are to be two candidat-
es In the field for grand warden. The
candidates prominently mentioned are
Grand Conductor Clarkson N. Fowler
VI Ilt1I tlOIu dliQ 1Idllu Nlcil Slloll Sclct
G. Brakeman Of Derby Bith are pop
Mlar men and their candidacy will
arouse some little interest.
2. r. Robbins Of Norwich, the pres
ent deputy grand master, will succeed
Grand Master John Blair Of Water
bury. 1t can be stated here on the au-
thorfty Of those high in Odd Fellow cir
cles that the administration of Mr..
& Blair has been commendable and
noteworthy one. The reelection of F
M. Botsford as grand secretary and W
III. Marigold of Bridgeport as grand
treasurer, is a surety. Mr.. Botsford
has recorded the minutes of the grand
4 lodge for 81 years. Grand Master Blair
will be elected representative to the
sovereign grand lodge, an honor that
i usually falls to retiring grand mas
ter.

WAIT.

e
s 1t is no use talking to the jingoes and
Their feelings are aroused to high
degree and passion is deadening their
senses and clouding their minds. 1t is
to be feared that congress will take the
bit in it's teeth and try to run away
with Mr.. Mckinley and unless he
proves himself a very skilful and cool
headed driver something is liable to
happen. But there are men in congress
who can see ahead a few months, and
who can look back for thirty-five years,
and they know what a horrible thing
war is. 1t is to these men who have
seen the cost in men and treasure who
can estimate what another war will
cost. Up to this time there has been no
real cause for war, and it is to be
hoped there may be none.
Let us wait. 1t is said on good au-
fhority that Mr. Mckinley is carrying
on negotiations with Sagasta which
will insure the independence of Cuba.
AS that is all the Cubans are fighting
for, and they profess that upon obtain
ing it they can take care of themselves,
let us hope Mr.. McKinleys negotiations
may be successful We can afford to
wait a few days. We can afford to
trust to the wisdom and sagacity Of the
president who has shown that he is
versed in the ways of diplomacy. We
cannot afford to go to war until some
greater cause for it is offered than has
been done so far. Lacking evidence
that the Maine was destroyed by
Spanish officials or with their conni-
vance, we cannot look at that act as an
overt one, demanding that war shall
follow.
1t isn't question of feelings. 1t is
true the people of this country feel
that Spain should pay dearly for the
loss of our sailors lives and the des-
truction Of our noble ship, but reason
tells us that we can't make war for
such a thing under the conditions now
existing. We can intervene in Cuba in
the interests of humanity and let the
results be what they may. But if the
purpose of our Intervention can be
reached In another and a peaceful way
why not let us do it? Again we say
let us walt. Let us be patient for g
few days. Let us hold in our horses
and see the road before us before we
whip them up and drive on to the
great loss entailed by war.-Ansonie
Sentinel.

LAND SEARCHERS.

An Expedition to the T. c. Lewis
Tract in Township 141.
The Park Rapids Gazette of Mime
sofa, of March 18th, says as follows
regarding T. G. Lewis, a former Chap
Ell street merchant, New Haven, and
others:
"wednesday morning o'clock.
Thermometer at 10 below. A two seat
ed livery rig with d. G. Town in the
drivers seat, reins up in front of the
Great Northern. T. G.. Lewis of Wood
bridge, Conn.,, owner of the Lewis tract
of 1000 acres in township al, the edi-
tor of the Gazette, and cruiser Shone-
berger, each arrayed in furs and leg
gins, fill the remaining seats in the
carriage.
They are bound on land-viewing
trip to the sections of virgin soil and
forest in the region of Spider, Crooked
and Waboose lakes. The tenderfoot
easterner has never yet set eye or step
ped foot on his lands in this region al
though they have been in his possession
for ten years. He now proposes to see
what they are like, and the others go
along to help him spy out the lands,
and to protect him from the dangers
of the wilderness.
A ride of twelve miles brings them to
the southeastern shore, the Spider. To
ride across it's frozen bosom is de-
light. It's many arms and islands, it's
bold shores and dark forests fringe
give picturesqueness to the scenes even
in winter.
The northern limit of the lake reach
ed, the dauntless driver reins his trusty
and nervy morgans up the sloping
bank through magnificent grove of
mammoth norways, and then across
the Lewis land in No. IL. 1t was found
to be level and heavily timbered. A
half mile brings the vehicle and it's oc-
cupants to the shore of the Crooked,
where hunters lodge greets them
with it's open door and empty larder
Over a. high embankment the team
| dashes out upon the bosom of the
| Crooked The lake view from No 23
out upon the expanse of this charming
| land-locked lake is iG rlic. And then
| away we spin, now under the dark
frowning shore and now out and across
| Waboose toward Nos. and 2. Anoth-
err hunters lodge well fitted up and
| with latch string out, many groves of
| giant trees, expanses of excellent land,
some extensive hay meadows, fresh
| deer, wolf and lynx tracks are among
| the things that gave interest to that
| laborious foot expedition. Not until
o'clock did the hungry scouts return
| to the team and dinner. But Oh! Such
a dinner! 1t did the Great Northern
| credit and the hungry great four
| did the occasion brown. Sandwiches
and sardines and salmon and coffee
| How they vanished.
But the sun is sinking and no time
| must be lost. "All aboard" shouts the
| driver, and soon the fur robed quartet
are on their way back. Now halt tc
take run out on No. 10 and then a spin
of 1-2 hours brings us back in sight OF
the glimmering electric lights of PARK
Rapids.
Lots of sightseeing, business and
fun packed into a fourteen hours
scouting trip"

Wallingford and Meriden Teams Will
Meet.
A game of baseball between the Mer-
iden and Wallingfords has ben ar
ranged for Good Friday, April s, and
the crack borough team will get a
chance to play game with it's old ri
walls before the regular baseball season
begins
The grounds are to be put into shape
before that date, Superintendent Bris-
tol having promised that they shall be
rolled down thoroughly.
The Wallingford team will be the
same one that made such a fine show
ing last year.
The Meriden team will consist of sew
eral of the champions and the strong
est amateurs which can be picked up.
Thiesen will catch. George Gardner will
play first and Buckley win play center.
Corcoran and Bone are still in New
Haven and it is hoped that both these
clever men can be secured. An effort
will be made to get Bob Petit to play
third while Custy will be in left field
and possibly Tom O'ConneIl in right.
In the Wallingford team will be De
Mills. Ted Gardner. Taylor, Barry,
Rumble and Casey.
The game will be started at 2:9O
o'clock.
The game will undoubtedly be a rat
Ting one for so early in the season and
the supporters of both teams should
turn out in numbers.
