THE ODD FELLOWS
Eightieth Anniversary Of the Found
ing Of the Order.
CELEBRATION BY THE LOCAL LODGES
Three Separate AssembIages in as
Many Sections Of the City.
S FITCH OF FOUN DER

No event in the history of Odd Fellowship
has been prepared for on a scale equal to
that of the celebration which came off last
night in the several sections of the city the
occasion being the eightieth anniversary of
the order. The commemoration services in
each place We're interesting and impressive.
Heretofore the anniversary celebrations
have taken place at one central point, I'M
der the auspices of the grand and sub
ordinate bodies, but at the last session of
the Grand Lodge resolution was adopted
making a change, and advantage was taken
of it, hence the celebrations took place at
the l. o. o. +. Hall on It'll street, at Lin

Weber, chairman; Messrs. Eackle, Bridges
and McNiel and Ella b. Russ and Gertrude
Farraby.
The present executive officer of the Grand
Lodge is w. W. MILAN; of the Grand En-
campment, Joseph L. Irwin, and COM
mandant of the Patriarchs Militant, John
l. Brown. The grand representatives to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge are: VIM p. Allan,
Fred A. Stier and Geo. w. Uline.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that the
largest hall of the order in this city Is
not sufficient to accommodate all the mem
bers of the order and their friends when
assembled on such an occasion as the one
just celebrated. At each of the places re-
ferred to many were unable to obtain adj
mission last night.

First Grand Lodge.

The first Grand Lodge of the United
States held February -, 1925 was repre-
scented by four grand lodges and nine subor-
dinate lodges. One of its first acts was to
decree that in no case should any refresh
ments except water be used in any of the
lodge rooms.
In 1879 the name of the Grand Lodge of
the United States was changed to that of
Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independ-
ent Order of odd Fellows" and five de-
grees having been adopted for the subordi-
nate lodges by the addition of the pink
and green degrees about 1925, steps were
taken at this session to reduce the degrees
to the original number, white blue and
scarlet, and at the session of 1880 this be-
came again the law of the order.
In the order of government of Odd Eel
lowship there is a paramount fundamental
law embodied in the form of a written
constitution emanating from supreme
federal head, styled the Sovereign Grand
Lodge. This body is representative in it's
character and exercises executive, legisla-
tive and judicial powers. 1t assemblies once
a year. During its recess its chief officer,
called the grand sire, chosen biennially by
the body itself, is vested with executive
power within constitutional limits. From

heart of the order. flow and are distributed
the powers and functions which pos
sessed and exercised by its subordinate
agencies. The first and most important of
these are the state, district, territorial and
provincial grand bodies, so called for the
reason that their sphere of action Is con-
fined to their geographical limits. These
bodies have written constitutions each, and
general laws for the government of the
order within their respective jurisdictions,
enacted by themselves, but subject to the
approval Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge
From them also are chosen biennially the
representatives to the Sovereign Grand
Lodge. and by them alone are the primary
assemblies of the order, the subordinate
lodges, created and Immediately SUPER
vised-subject, however, to a ritual and
general regulation, which are alike COM
mon to every lodge of Odd Fellows
throughout the globe.

The secretary of the Grand Lodge, James
L. Ridgeley, said of him:
His station was so little elevated and
his private life so uneventful, as to leave
him much in the shadow. He was at all
times reticent or entirely silent about him.
self, and his solitary life gave no glimpse
into the obscurity of his domestic secrets
He might be ranked one remove above a
labOrer. He signed himself 'Coach-spring
Maker, but his craftsmen knew him bet

| sturdy mechanic, characterized by his own
| euIoSists as illitcrate and ignorant, has
| by the acknowledgment of the opponents
| Of the order, welded his three links in
| faithful workmanship into invincibe solid
| lty. Such is the picture drawn of him
| whom American odd Fellowship owns as
| its founder-a man whose nature con-
| spiCuously endowed by many Of the virtues
| which have made the order which he found

whose honor his fellows have raised mar

in founding the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows"
Odd Fellowship spread from its organi-
cation with more or less steady increase
with the exception of the period of the
great anti-MaSoniC crusade from 1926 to
1896 at which time odd Fellowship suffer
ed more than the older and more influential
order. In Massachusetts, Odd Fellowship
succumbed entirely to the rage of fury
against secret societies, and in the preSi-
DENTAL election of 1872 Vermont was car
r:ed by the anti-MaSOnic party. Ever since
the cessation of that historic warfare odd
Fellowship has forged steadily ahead as an
agent of good works

odd Fellowship is based on the great
truth that God is the Father, and that all
men are brethren. 1t has for its object the
teaching of this great truth-the relief of
brethren in sickness and distress. provision

widow and orphan, and the education of the
orphan preparatory to good citizenship. Its
origin is due to want and providence. With

Fitz May Get the Fight.

New York, Nov. 2S.-William A..
Brady is considering the plan of match
ing Jim Jeffries against Bob Fitzsim-
mons for IA fight in May or June next,
and several months before the time set
for his bout with Jim Corbett.
There is nothing in the Jeffries-C Cor
bett articles barring such a match, but
Corbet is up in arms against the plan,
and has protested to Brady. He says
he has already commenced light train
Ing, and that the plan is not fair to
him.
Fitzsimmons is to come here from
Chicago, however, for conference
with Brady, and there is chance that
the match will be made. The Cornish
man is very anxious to sign.
Martin Julian said to night that Bob
Fitzsimmons would come on from Chi
cago this week to attempt to get a
match with Jeffries.
Bob is willing to agree that the win
ner take ALL" he said. "Fitzsimmons
is entitled to first consideration. and
we mean business.
IF Jeffries is SO sure he can defeat
Fitzsimmons when the latter is in good
shape, we will let the winner take

Jeffries. II he fails we don't Want 9

will post the money and then insis
upon his doing the same.
II mean business and just as soor
as Jeffries or Brady is prepared we will

ence to me when the contest is decid
ed, but I would rather have 1t come of
within four weeks. Fitzsimmons will
be In condition within one MONTH"

William Sends a
German Flag

Chicago Nov. 2G.-Dr. Won Holleben,
German Ambassador to the United
States, today in the presence of 1000
Germans, presented flag sent by the
Emperor William to the United Ger
man Soldiers Societies in Chicago. In
delivering the gift, DR.. Won Holleben
said:
II bring you greeting from the Ger
man Emperor. He commissioned me
to give you the flag, that you have so
long wished for, with the request that
II be passed from one of your societies
to another to be kept by each for a
year at time. 1t is sign of the gra-
cious favor of the Emperor and tok-
en- of the friendliness and love which
he bears for you and which you have
deserved by your services to your coun-
try, for which many of you have fought
and bled on the battlefield. 1t is a sym
Dol of German truth and manhood. 1t
is the symbol of German soldiers
honor. The United States is bound
close with Germany by racial ties and
intimate friendship. / beg of you to
take this flag as symbol of national
unity"
AS the flag was unfurled the crowd
rose and cheered for several minutes.
while the band played the German ma
tional air. The German Ambassador
called for three cheers for the Emper-
or, which were heartily given. The
spectators rose and sang THE Star
Spangled Banner"
DR.. Won Holleben refused to discuss
political matters, but said to a report
err: Germany has the kindliest feel
ing toward the United States and II
seems as IL every year brings these two
great nations closer together"
At the close of the meeting the fol-
lowing telegram was sent to the Ger
man Emperor:
Chicago, H.. Nov. 26.-To the Ger
man Emperor: Cerman-Americans as
sembled for the purpose of accepting
and dedicating the flag presented by
your majesty, send you thanks and
greetings"
The flag sent by the Emperor is made
of white silk, with the German crest
embroidered in the center in red. white
and black.
