Concordia Turnverein .- In December, 1875, some thirty-two persons, mostly members of the Central Turnverein, but who lived too far from the Central Hall to conveniently attend the society, signed a call for a meeting to organize a turnverein in extreme Southern St. Louis, and on Jan. 8, 1875, the society was organized, with E. F. Schreiner, president ; Nich- olas Berg, vice-president ; J. R. Ballinger, recording secretary ; C. F. Groffman, corresponding secretary ; and C. C. Goelde, treasurer. On June 1, 1875, articles of incorporation were granted C. Sehreiner, R. Glaess- ner, J. H. Kassing, C. H. L. Hoffman, and Richard Fischer.

Goedde, and on Jan. 24, 1877, the corner-stone of a new hall was laid at Arsenal and Carondelet Streets. On the 18th of November, 1877, the building was dedicated. It cost nineteen thousand five hundred dol- lars, on which a debt of two thousand dollars remains. The society has also personal property valued at two thousand three hundred and fifty dollars.

Vorwaerts Turnverein .- This society was organ- ized Dec. 21, 1878, and onee had forty members. It never accomplished much, and after a flickering career was disbanded in 1881.

West St. Louis Turnverein .- For some years there flourished a " Schiller Club," at Franklin and Leffing- well Avenues, and during the summer of 1879 one hundred and twenty-eight of the members agreed to merge the society into a turnverein. An organization was effected Sept. 22, 1879, and Dee. 19, 1880, the corner-stone of the present hall was laid at Beaumont and Morgan Streets. The property was occupied by the Second Baptist Church as a mission, and the verein proceeded to put up an additional building, making the hall seventy-five by thirty-six feet. The building was dedicated May 8, 1881. It was ereeted by a stock association, of which J. J. Suller was presi- dent ; A. W. Straub, vice-president ; John Denberger, secretary ; J. F. Conrad, treasurer ; and J. H. Tror- licht, John Nies, J. L. Bernecker, F. W. Henze, John Schoenkc, Julius Hirschfeld, and Louis J. Holthaus directors.

The St. Louis associations, with those at High- land, Trenton, Belleville, Nashville, Alton, and Quincy (all in Illinois), constitute the " St. Louis Turn Circuit," which is the largest district, numeri- cally, in the country, although several others own more property. St. Louis Turnbezirk has thirteen societies, with : Members, 2623; active Turners, 1102; citizens of the United States, 2431 ; scholars, boys, 1549; scholars, girls, 700; value of property, $158,485 ; debts, $41,670; excess of property over debts, $116,815; volumes in the libraries, 7302. Eleven of the societies own their halls.

The present officers of St. Louis Bezirk are-

President, Francis P. Becker ; Vice-President, Emil Mueller ; Recording Secretary, C. H. Hertwig; Treasurer, Ernst Eiseh- mann ; Turnwart, Mazzini Kruer; Directors, Herman Ruppelt, B. von Gerichten, Rudolph Geibermann, C. J. Trebers, John Schoenle.

The St. Louis Microscopical Society was organ- ized in 1869, the officers consisting of Homer Judd, M.D., president ; D. V. Dean, M.D., viee-president ; W. H. Eames, D.D.S., treasurer ; T. H. Hammond, M.D., recording secretary ; T. F. Rumbold, M.D., corresponding secretary ; H. Z. Gill, M.D., librarian. It was incorporated Aug. 17, 1872, with Drs. H. Z. Gill, Homer Judd, Thomas F. Rumbold, R. J. Steele, and D. V. Dean as the first officers under the act of incorporation. The society is still in existence, and has quite a sum of money in the treasury, but has not held regular meetings for two or more years.

The Western Rowing Club was organized in 1867, and chartered in 1870, with John F. Johnson, Jacob L. Reinhardt, Paul M. Hunt, Leo Rassicur, Charles Hilliker, Thomas Hilliker, and E. H. Vordtriede as incorporators, to cultivate the art of rowing. Its boat-house is located on the river front, between Har- per and Dorcas Strects. Leo Rassieur has been the president since its formation. This club is the oldest of the kind in St. Louis, and is the parent of the half-dozen clubs now in existence. As far back as 1819, however, there is a record that Capt. George H. Kennerly, Alexander St. Cyr, the Arnold brothers, and others formed a boat club which had its house on the banks of Chouteau's Pond, about three hundred yards north of Chouteau's mill. The members of the elub wore a uniform of Scotch plaid.

St. Louis Institute of Architects .- In January, 1870, a number of St. Louis architeets met and de- cided to form an association for the purpose of " uniting in fellowship the architects of the eity and vieinity, and combining their efforts so as to promote the ar- tistic, scientific, and practical efficieney of the profes- sion." As a result of this meeting the St. Louis Institute of Architects was incorporated during the same month by George I. Barnett, John F. Mitchell, J. C. Edgar, Thomas Walsh, A. Grable, G. W. Os- borne, George D. Rand, J. W. Herthel, E. Jungen- feld, S. M. Randolph, C. B. Clark, and others. A permanent organization was immediately effeeted by the election of the following officers :

Thomas Walsh, president; George I. Barnett, M. Randolph, John F. Mitchell, trustces; R. Desbonne, treasurer; George D. Rand, secretary.

Sinee its inception the institute has been success- fully sustained, and has been very influential in its operations. The meetings were first held in the office of Randolph Brothers, northwest corner Walnut and Fifth Streets. Subsequently rooms at 320} North Third Street were occupied until an arrangement was made with the Board of Public Schools, whereby the session-room of the Polytechnic Building was secured, and has been used ever sinee. The several presidents of the institute have been Thomas Walsh, George I. Barnett, John F. Mitchell, J. C. Edgar, C. B. Clarke, J. W. Herthel, J. H. MeNamara, F. W. Raeder, John Beattie, A. Druiding. The present offieers are-

President, A. Druiding ; Trustees, A. Grable, T. J. Furlong, J. H. McNamara; Treasurer, C. B. Clarke; Secretary, J. F. Mitchell; Board of Managers, A. Druiding, A. Grable, T. J. Furlong, J. H. McNamara, J. F. Mitchell, C. B. Clarke.

The North St. Louis Turnverein .- This society was organized in 1868 as the North St. Louis Turn- schule and Kindergarten, reorganized Oet. 25, 1870, and in February, 1874, incorporated as the North St. Louis Turnverein. The society had their hall at first at the corner of Bremen Avenue and Broadway, and afterwards in a hall at the corner of Bremen Avenue and Fifteenth Street. In 1879 the society decided to have a permanent hall. A lot on the southeast corner of Salisbury and Fourteenth Streets was purchased for four thousand dollars, and a building sixty-five feet front on Salisbury Street, with a depth of one hundred and twenty-five feet on Fourteenth Street, was erected. The building, which cost eighteen thousand four hun- dred and twenty-five dollars, was erected under the supervision of H. W. Kirchner, architeet. The board of directors and building committee of the society were as follows: Francis H. Brinkman, chairman ; Charles E. Kircher, treasurer ; Charles J. Doerr, scc-

retary ; and Henry Schmidt, Louis Hammer, Anthony Noake, J. F. Voyt, Charles Kohlberg, William Shreiber, Herman Schwartze, E. O. Haus, Aug. Allershausen, and Matthias Herman. The society has one hundred and eighty-five members, one hundred and forty pupils, a song section thirty strong, a ladics' dramatic section of about sixty, a corps of drummer- boys, and a library of about three hundred and fifty volumes. Its presidents have been L. Edward Witte, L. W. Tenteberg, Albert Haeseler, W. H. Inderwark, Herman Umrath, Louis K. Hammer, Francis H. Brinkman, Anthony Nacke, and Hugo Muench.

Kohlberg ; Librarian, Charles Stoelting ; Turnwart, L. Herb- ster; Second Turnwart, Charles Steiner ; Zeugwart, Charles H. Blumentrill.

The Missouri Gymnastic Society .- This society was organized in 1857 by a few clerks in a small room in the old city buildings, Commercial Alley. The membership increased so rapidly that it was necessary to procure a larger hall, which they did at Fourth Street and Washington Avenue, from there they re- moved to Seventh Street and Washington Avenue. A stock company was then formed, and through the efforts of Joshua Cheever, James C. Maginniss, and others they secured, in 1867, on leased ground their present building, No. 814 St. Charles Street, which they entered with a debt of four thousand dollars, all of which has been paid. In 1877, John L. Stockwell was elected superintendent, and under his management the society at once became a success. In 1878 it was reincorporated under the same name by J. M. Chambers, J. A. Dillon, W. J. Blakely, J. D. Phillips, W. J. Gilbert, A. J. Hyde, M. L. Holman, J. Schaeffer, and J. L. Stockwell as incorporators. Its officers and board of directors in 1882 were-

James M. Chambers, president; J. A. St. Johns, vice-presi- dent ; John D. Phillips, treasurer ; John L. Stockwell, secretary and manager; Directors, W. J. Gilbert, John A. Dillon, R. A. Barret, M. L. Holman, Eug. Sailor.

The St. Louis Natatorium, corner of Nineteenth and Pine Streets, was built in May, 1881. The in- corporators were George B. Thompson, Joseph Frank- lin, John T. Davis, Charles A. Fowee, E. C. Sim- mons, and W. L. Huse. The building is sixty-six feet front and two hundred and seventecn feet in length ; bathing-pool forty feet wide and one hundred and forty feet long, with a depth of two to eleven feet. During the summer season it is a fashionable resort for those who are fond of aquatic sport, and in winter it is fitted up for roller-skating.

The St. Louis Long-Range Rifle Association was incorporated Dec. 26, 1882. The incorporators were William P. Schaaf, C. A. B. Battee, J. M. Bat- tce, J. W. Rannels, Julian J. Laughlin, F. W. Rock- well, H. C. Bagby, J. P. Foster, C. B. Smith, W. F. de Cordova, E. H. Gorse, P. B. Leach, S. S. Black- well, H. E. Weber, J. B. Martin, H. C. Pierce, Au- gust Bengel, and Henry Hitchcock. The object for which the association is formed is practice at rifle- shooting at long range. Phincas B. Lcach is presi- dent ; William F. de Cordova, secretary ; C. B. Smith, treasurer ; J. J. Laughlin, captain ; and W. P. Schaaf, coacher. The association has at present forty-five members.

The Society of Pedagogy has for its object the free discussion of all educational topics.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

Masonic Order.1-Before the acquisition of Louis- iana by the United States, in 1804, there was nothing in the shape of organized Masonry in St. Louis, the early inhabitants being nearly all of French origin, and almost universally of the Catholic faith, which does not tolerate secret associations. There might have been, and no doubt was, among those who came from other places occasionally a member of the order; but not until after the transfer to the United States did therc seen to arise any occasion for intro- ducing it in an organized state.

Among the most prominent of the early Americans who came from other localities and established them- selves in the three villages of Kaskaskia, Ste. Gene- vieve, and St. Louis were a number of members of the order, and these, shortly after the change of gov- ernment, took the incipient steps to introduce it by the establishment of lodges.

On the 9th of March, 1805, a petition was pre- sented to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania of An- cient York Masons for a dispensation to open a lodge at Kaskaskia, Indiana Territory, signed by the fol- lowing Master Masons : Robert McMahan, of Stanton Lodge, No. 13, Virginia; William Arundel, of St. Andrew's Lodge, No. 2, Quebec, Canada ; James Edgar, of Lodge No. 9, Philadelphia ; Michael Jones, of Lodge No. 45, Pittsburgh, Pa. ; James Galbraith, of Lodge No. 79, Chambersburg, Pa .; Rufus Easton, of Roman Lodge, No. 82, Rome, N. Y .; Robert Rob- inson, of Stanton Lodge, No. 13, Virginia.

In compliance with the petition, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, the Most Wor-

shipful Israel Israel, attested by the seal of the Grand Secretary, George A. Baker, issued his dispensation for six months, dated at the eity of Philadelphia, Sept. 24, 1805, authorizing James Edgar, a Past Master, and his associates to open a lodge as prayed for; and on Saturday, Dec. 14, 1805, the persons named above assembled, and proeceded to open their new lodge, to which they gave the name of Western Star Lodge, Messrs. Jones and Robinson being ap- pointed a committee to prepare a code of by-laws for its government. This lodge worked under the dis- pensation until the 24th of March, 1806, the date of its expiration; when the dispensation was returned, with a copy of the lodge's proceedings under it, to the Grand Lodge, which, having approved of the same, issued a charter, as follows :

" To Western Star Lodge, No. 107, registry of Pennsylvania, dated June 2, 1806, to James Edgar, Worshipful Master, Michael Jones, Senior Warden, and James Galbraith, Junior Warden, and their as- sociates, ete., signed by Right Worshipful James Mil- nor, Grand Master, and attested by George A. Baker, Grand Secretary, with the seal of the Grand Lodge ;" and on Saturday, Sept. 13, 1806, they held their first meeting under their charter.

The last meeting of this lodge, as appears from the record-book, was held on Dee. 9, 1820, and its last return to the parent Grand Lodge of Pennsylva- nia was in the year 1822, after which date it was strieken from the registry of that Grand Lodge.

This was the first Masonie lodge established in the upper portion of the valley of the Mississippi, there being two lodges in the eity of New Orleans, Nos. 90 and 93, already in existence, established also by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

Ste. Genevieve, being nearly opposite to Kaskaskia, and some thirty years older than St. Louis, was for many years the largest place on the west bank of the river, and even at the date of the transfer to the United States had a larger population. It was not until the period of the war with Great Britain, 1812 -15, that St. Louis began to outstrip Ste. Genevieve, her growth resulting in a great measure from the large number of troops stationed at Bellefontaine, then the westernmost military post of the United States. The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, upon the application of a number of Masons residing in and about Ste. Genevieve, granted them a charter for a new lodge to be held at that place, dated July 17, 1807, under the title of Louisiana Lodge, No. 109, appointing Aaron Elliott, Worshipful Master ; Andrew Henry, Senior Warden; and George Bullitt, Junior Warden. But little or nothing is known at the present day of the

work of this lodge, nothing to show who were the pe- titioners, date of dispensation, ete. The last return to the parent Grand Lodge was made in 1815.

The transfer of the upper portion of Louisiana to the United States took place on the 10th of March, 1804, at St. Louis. The few villages in the Territory at that time comprised St. Louis, St. Charles, Ste. Gen- evieve, Mine à Breton (now Potosi), Cape Girardeau, New Madrid, etc., the largest containing but a few hundred inhabitants. Before this time there was not a Masonic lodge in the country. The few merchants in those villages at that day usually proeured their small stoeks of goods from New Orleans; but after that period, having become citizens of the United States by the transfer, they eommeneed making an- nual visits to the eity of Philadelphia to purchase their goods, and as they were mostly of Freneh de- scent, several of them were made Masons in that city in the French Lodge l'Amenité, No. 73 of the regis- try of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.1

In a few years, as the population of some of these places and the country generally gradually inereased, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania chartered several lodges in this then remote region, viz. : Western Star Lodge, No. 107, at Kaskaskia, Ill .; Louisiana Lodge, No. 109, at Ste. Genevieve ; and St. Louis Lodge, No. 111, at St. Louis. After an existence of a few years these lodges, owing, doubtless, to the sparseness of the population, followed shortly after their organization by the war with England, in 1812, gradually eeased work, in a few years became extinct, and were erased from the registry of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania.

The charter of St. Louis Lodge, No. 111, dated Sept. 15, 1808, was granted to Merriwether Lewis as Wor- shipful Master, Thomas Fivcash Riddick, Senior Warden, and Rufus Easton, Junior Warden, as the first officers, and to their associate brethren. This lodge comprised in its membership a number of the most prominent of the early citizens of the place, many of whom then and subsequently filled important official positions in the Territorial and State govern- ments. Among them were

Capt. Merriwether Lewis, first Governor of Louisiana Terri- tory, Worshipful Master.

Col. Thomas F. Riddick, who held various eivil offices, Senior Warden.

Col. Rufus Easton, first postmaster and attorney-general, Junior Warden.

Joseph V. Garnier, elerk of the Supreme Court, Secretary.

Gen. William Clark, Territorial Governor and superintendent of Indian affairs.

1 Among the well-known early residents of St. Louis who re- ceived their degrees in this lodge were Charles F. Billon and Gabriel and Réné Paul.

The lodge occupied an old French house of upright timbers of twenty by forty feet, one of the first in the village, built in 1765 by Jacques Denis, a joiner, for a billiard-room, and occupied as such during the whole of the Spanish régime. It was situated on the east side of Second Street, next below the corner of Wal- nut Street. The lodge was in existence but a few years, and made no return whatever to the parent Grand Lodge. This fact, in connection with the suicide of the Worshipful Master, Hon. Merriwether Lewis, in 1809, leads to the conclusion that it had accomplished but little, if anything, in the way of Masonic labor. After the death of its principal officer, the lodge gradu- ally fell into decay, and was eventually stricken from the roll of the Grand Lodge about the time of the war of 1812.

The following advertisements in the Louisiana (afterwards Missouri) Gazette show that the lodge celebrated the Masonic festival of St. John the Bap- tist on at least two occasions with a public dinner :

" The St. Louis Lodge, No. 111, will celebrate the festival of St. John the Baptist on Saturday, the 24th instant, at their lodge-room in St. Louis. Such brethren (not members of the lodge) as may wish to join in the celebration of this festival are requested to attend.

" The procession will form at the lodge-room at twelve o'clock

1 Shortly after the acquisition of the country, "one Wil- liam Massey sold to Gen. James Wilkinson, for the United States, April 20, 1806, for two hundred and fifty dollars, five acres of land at Bellefontaine, on the Missouri River, including the old Indian factory and buildings and the use for five years of the adjoining land, on which troops were then cantoned. On this tract the United States subsequently erected barracks for the troops, and it was for a number of years the westernmost military post of the United States. Of the United States military at Bellefontaine cantonmuent, several officers of rank died during these years, and doubtless some of them were Masons, as was pretty much the case with arıny officers during and after the Revolution. Among those who died there were Maj. Russell Bissell, commandant, who died in 1807; Col. Thomas Hunt, First Regiment, commanding the fort, an officer of the Revolution, who died July 17, 1808 (his wife died six months after him, in January, 1809); Lieut. Joseph Dorr, died Dec. 31, 1808 (his wife two months previously) ; and others whose names are not to be found on record at this day.

There was also a celebration by this lodge of the festival of St. John the Evangelist, Dec. 27, 1811, at which was sung a Masonic ode composed expressly for the occasion by Lieut. Joseph Cross,2 of the United States artillery, which is to be found in the Louisiana Gazette of Jan. 18, 1812.

No further notice of this lodge is found in the Gazette, and as the war broke out shortly afterwards, and nearly every man in the village was enrolled in the military service, the members became scattered, and, as stated above, the lodge became extinct.

During the continuance of the war the general gov- ernment kept a large body of troops at St. Louis. · Many of the officers and men were Masons, and at the termi- nation of the war, and after the reduction of the army to the peace establishment, a large number of them remained and established themselves in and about St. Louis, which had at the close of the war reached a population of about fifteen hundred souls. The re- turn of peace, therefore, found a large number of the Masonic fraternity from various localities identificd with St. Louis, far the larger part of whom were gen-
