ANCIENT ACCEPTED RITE, FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THEIR TERRITORIES AND DEPENDENCIES.

BY J. J. STODDART, ESQUIRE:

Foreign History .-- In the year 1761, there existed in France an order styling itself " the Grand and Sovereign of St. John, established at the Grand East of Paris." On August 27, 1761, this " Sovereign Lodge" granted a patent to a Brother Stephen Morin, with the rank and title of a " Grand Master Inspector," author- izing him to " establish Perfect Masonary in every part of the world." Clothed with these powers Morin sailed for America. At Jamaica, West Indies, he con- terred the grades in his possession upon many brethren, giving a number of them patents and the title of Deputy Grand Inspectors-General, with power to confer the degrees and establish bodies. Morin deputized Henry A. Franken, who, in turn, authorized brethren at Albany, New York, in December, 1767, to organize a lodge and confer the degrees " from Secret Master to the twentyninth degree." In 1768, Morin verified an official signed by De Joinville, Count de Choiseul, Prince de Rohan and others as members of the thirtythird degree.

United States History .- In 1801, John Mitchell, Frederick Dalcho, Isaac Auld and Emmanuel de la Motta attempted the organization of a supreme governing body at Charleston, South Carolina. The movement failed, and the organization

was practically dormant for fiftyeight years thereafter. On October 28, 1807, a successful effort to organize a supreme body was made in New York City by Illustrious Joseph Cerneau, assisted by Governor De Witt Clinton, Hon John W. Mulligan, the Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge and Unites States Minis- ter to Greece ; Hon. Martin Hoffman, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ; C. D. Colden, Mayor of the city, and many other dignitaries and illustrious brethren. Subsequently, General, the Marquis de Lafayette, became Grand Commander of the order. Its title was, " The Ancient Accepted Rite, for the United States of America, their Territories and Dependencies," taking Jurisdiction over all the States and Territories of the Union, as it was the only active body then in exis- tence. Under this authority subordinate bodies were organized in Ohio,

Ohio History .- On August 27 and 28, 1884, a delegation from the East of the Order, among whom was the venerable Doctor R. B. Folger, thirtythird degree, the Masonic historian, and the oldest thirtythird Mason living, arrived in Colum - bns upon invitation and proceeded to organize under dispensation four new bodies of the rite with the assistance of fifty of the local brethren. Before the close of the year the new bodies so prospered that the Supreme Council granted charters to all of them. The four bodies - Lodge, Council, Chapter and Kadosh - con - trolled and conferred upon candidates all the grades from the 4º to the 30°, inclusive. The following year similar bodies were organized in different parts of the State. Each place where two or more bodies were organized was designated as a valley ; the whole State was known as the Orient of Ohio.

On September 4, 1885, the Sovereign Grand Consistory of Ohio, S. . . P. . . R . . . S. . . 32º, was organized and instituted in Columbus by delegations from the different valleys in the State. The ceremonies were held jointly in the City Hall and in the rooms of the rite in the Johnson Building on South High Street. The Grand Consistory controls and confers the 31 ° and 32º, and is the governing body of the rite in the State, being clothed with executive and legislative powers. It is a representative body, all 32 degree members holding membership therein.

On June 24, 1886, the Grand Consistory and local bodies dedicated with imposing ceremonies, for their joint nse, the "Masonic Cathedral," located at 186 South Third Street. It had been purchased and erected for their benefit by a joint stock company. The building, especially in its interior arrangement for confer- ring the grades and its decoration, is one of the finest of the kind in the world. The occasion was a notable one in the history of the city, the building being crowded to its utmost capacity by the members of the rite, their ladies and invited guests. The press at the time paid a glowing tribute to the order and its work. The officers of the Grand Consistory for the present year are :

J. J. Stoddart, 33º, Ill . . Commander in Chief; A. B. Coit, 33º, III. . . Dep. .. Commander in Chief; S. H. Nicholas, 33º, Ill. . . First Lieut. . . Commander ; F. M. Chandler, 33º, Ill. . .

ODD FELLOWSHIP.

BY CHARLES L. YOUNG, P. G. M. AND G. R.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a secret, charitable organization. Its secrecy consists in the possession of an unwritten and unspoken language, intelligible only to members, which serves simply for mutual recognition.

In the early years of the last century one of the English organizations held for awhile to the tradition that the name of Odd Fellow was given to this order by Titus Cæsar in the year 79 of the Christian era ; but, regardless of Old World traditions it may truthfully be stated that the Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a com- paratively modern institution, though it has gained a prominent ascendeney in numerical strength and farreaching influence. Without seeking to establish for it a veiled origin in the misty shades of the past, it may suffice to say in this con- neetion that among the earliest reliable reminiscences of the order dating back to the year 1700, or earlier, were unions of various trades or crafts, subsequently known as Odd Fellow Craftsmen, and still later as the Ancient and Honorable Loyal Odd Fellows, from whom, early in the present century, there came several orders or kindred associations, all prompted by considerations of social and fra- ternal interest. Chief among these was the Manchester Unity, organized in Eng- land in 1812, and having a membership today of nearly 700,000. From this last named institution came American Odd Fellowship.

Odd Fellowship in America .- Attempts were made as early as 1804 to establish a lodge in New York ; but the first successful lodge, the first with strength enough to keep alive, was founded April 26, 1819, at the Seven Stars Inn, Baltimore, Maryland. Thomas Wildey, John Duncan, John Welch, John Cheatham and Richard Rushworth united in Washington Lodge, Number One. The beginning and the success of the movement came from Wildey's zeal and energy. A Grand Lodge was formed February 22, 1821 ; the " Grand Lodge of the United States " was formed January 15, 1825, with Thomas Wildey as Grand Sire. To Augustus Mathiot the order is indebted for its emancipation from the convivial character ; to Father Wildey for its early extension and its union in one harmonious body, to accomplish which he traveled thousands of miles and gave time and labor; and to

HISTORY OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS.

James Lot Ridgely (born in 1807, died 1881), who entered the order in 1829 and became Grand Secretary in 1841, for much of its organization and growth, for its rise in character and influence. Space fails us to tell of Kennedy, Griffin, Colfax, Chapin, Nicholson, Ross, White, Underwood, and others who have helped to make the order what it boasts itself today.

Since 1843 the order in America has had no connection with that in Great Britain, and no previous year in its history has witnessed such large increase in membership, receipts and relief disbursements as the last. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows extends over the United States and Canada, and to the fol- lowing foreign countries : Australia, New Zealand, Sandwich Islands, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Cuba, Mexico, Chili and Peru. There are over 9,000 subordinate lodges, having upwards of 650,000 mem- bers within its home jurisdiction, and an associate membership of 60,000 Daughters of Rebekah, thus making its numerical representation about 710,000 in this country - the 56,000 brothers constituting the remaining membership of the 2,016 Rebekah Degree lodges (their whole membership being now over 100,000), and the 108,000 belonging to the 2.133 encampments, with about 25,000 Patriarchs Militant, being, of course, included in the membership of subordinate lodges. The disburse- ments for relief purposes during the year 1890 were over $3,000,000, and the amount disbursed by the order since its institution in America reaebes the immense sum of over $50,000,000.

Odd Fellowship in Ohio .- The first meeting to consider petitions for a lodge was held in June, 1830, in a chamber over the barroom of the Porter House on the corner of Third and Walnut streets in Cincinnati. The petition was signed by Nathaniel Estling, C. Haskin, J. Brice, J. W. Holt, Thomas L. Bedford and J. Gill. At a special session of the Grand Lodge of the United States held Octo- ber 31, 1830, the petition for a charter for Ohio Lodge Number One was granted and representative James Paul, of Pittsburgh, was commissioned to institute the lodge, which he did on December 23, 1830, in a room located in the second story of Johnson's Row on Fifth Street, between Walnut and Vine. The first Noble Grand in Ohio was Jacob W. Holt : the Secretary was Samuel Cobb. The first social gathering was beld December 24, 1830, at the Hole-in-the-Wall restaurant, on the southwest corner of Walnut and Fifth streets, in honor of James Paul, who instituted the lodge. The first sick benefits paid in Ohio were awarded to Charles F. Hastings, January 31, 1831, amount, $3. The first parade in Ohio took place in June, 1831, on which occasion an oration was delivered by Brother Joseph Barelay. The Grand Lodge of Ohio was organized under dispensation of January 2, 1832. Brother Richard G. Cheavens was the first Grand Master, and Samuel Cobb the first Grand Secretary. The first Odd Fellows' funeral was that of Brother Ezekial Carpenter, of Ohio Lodge Number One, which took place on April 30, 1832, and the Masonic burial service was used. Grand Sire Thomas Wildey visited for the first time an Odd Fellows' Lodge in Ohio on December 3, 1832, and was welcomed in an able manner by Samuel Yorke Atlee, N. G. of Ohio Lodge Number One. The first Encampment in Ohio was instituted some time in Deeember, 1832, at Cincinnati, by Grand Sire Thomas Wildey, and was named Wildey Encampment Number One. The first Chief Patriarch was Jaeob W. Holt and the first Scribe was A. A. Pruden. The Grand Encampment of Ohio was organized September 24, 1839, by Patriarch James Read. The first Grand Patriarch was R. R. Andrews and the first Grand Scribe was Jacob Keller. The first Canton, Patriarchs Militant, was mustered in January. 1887. General Henry M. Innis was the first Commandant. The first Rebekah Degree Lodge was insti- tuted at Cincinnati, October 29, 1869, and named " Ivy." John W. Carter was Noble Grand, Julia A. Bird Secretary. The first State Assembly of the Daugh- ters of Rebekah was organized at Columbus April 13, 1887. Mrs. Lida Leaman,

767

of Dayton, was the first President. The first Troop of Hussars was mustered on August 15, 1889, at Columbus, J. C. L. Pugh commanding.

The present strength of the order in Ohio (1890) is as follows: Lodge mem- bers, 60,000; Encampment members, 20,000; Rebekah Degree Sisters, 8,000 ; Rebekah Degree Brothers, 7,000; Patriarchs Militant, 5,000.

The Order in Columbus .- In 1835 Brother Jacob W. Holt, of Cincinnati, vis- ited Columbus and met three or four members of the order at Grover's Hotel, on Broad Street, afterwards known as the Buckeye House, for the purpose of con- sulting as to the propriety of starting a lodge of Odd Fellows. A person who was a notorious gambler, hearing of the meeting, put in an appearance, claiming to be an Odd Fellow, and said he had the documents to prove it, and wished to go in with them. Brother IIolt and the rest, after talking the matter over, came to the conclusion to let the matter drop rather than start with any such material. In 1839 a number of the members petitioned the Grand Lodge for a charter for Columbus Lodge Number Nine. That body held a special meeting at four o'clock P. M. June 27, 1839, for the purpose of considering the petition, and at said meet- ing the prayer of the petitioners was granted. On July 4, 1839, Grand Master Churchill arrived at Columbus and at four o'clock p. M. assembled the petitioners, five of whom presented their final cards, viz. : N. B. Kelley, James B. Thomas, William Flintham, David Bryden and Charles A. Howle, whereupon Grand Mas- ter David Churchill, assisted by Milton N. McLean, Deputy Grand Master, insti- tuted Columbus Lodge Number Nine, and the following officers were installed : N. B. Kelley, N. G .; J. B. Thomas, V. G. ; William Flintham, Secretary ; David Bryden, Treasurer ; Charles A. Howle, Inside Guardian. The Lodge was insti- tuted in the Tontine Building, which stood where Corrodi's Hotel now stands,

and which was currently known as the " Tin Pan." On July 10, a committee was appointed to procure a more suitable room for the lodge to meet in, and on July 24 this committee reported that it had procured rooms in the third story of John Walcutt's brick building on the east side of High Street, three doors north of Town. Into these rooms the Lodge was soon afterwards removed, but they were soon found to be too small ; hence, in January, 1840, other rooms were pro- eured in the Buckeye Bloek, on Broad Street. Here the Lodge remained until the City Bank Building, of which N. B. Kelley was the architect, was erected on the southeast corner of High and State streets.

Among those who were initiated during the first two terms were John Brough, afterwards Governor of Ohio; David Overdier, author of the State Digest ; John T. Blain, Past District Deputy Grand Sire ; and John Greenleaf, a prominent merchant. Columbus Lodge Number Nine has been a prosperous one, and is recognized as one of the leading lodges in Ohio. Its present membership is 362. The lodge removed from the City Bank Building to Platt's Hall on East State Street, and from there to the Carpenter Block on East Town Street, where it remained some ten years, subsequent to which it was transferred to the present Temple on South High Street in May, 1870. The cornerstone of this Temple was laid July 4, 1867, and it may be added that in the erection of the building the money was paid as fast as called for, so that on the day of completion of the work not a dollar of indebtedness was on the building, neither has there been any indebtedness on it from that time to the prerent. The Temple is . valned at $125,000.

There are at present eleven subordinate lodges in Columbus, viz .: Columbus Lodge Number Nine, Central Lodge Number Twentythree, Excelsior Lodge Number 145, Capitol Lodge Number 334, Harmonia Lodge (German) Number 358, Junia Lodge Number 474, National Lodge (German) Number 509, Stauring Lodge Number 512, Greiner Lodge Number 540, Dennison Lodge Number 741, Robert Curtis Lodge Number 762; total membership, 3,000. There are also the

following Encampments: Columbus Encampment Number 6, Concordia Encamp- ment Number 96, Buckeye Encampment Number 148, Ridgely Encampment Number 189; total membership of the Encampments nearly 1,500. The Degree Lodges of Daughters of Rebekah are: Naomi Number 6, Germania (German) Number 159, Indianola Number 199, Ella Dill Number 264, Superior Number 298 ; total membership, nearly eight hundred. The two Cantons of the Patri- archs Militant are Grand Canton Ohio Number One, and Canton Columbus Number 65 : membership, nearly 200. To these should be added the Junia Hus. sars Troop Number One, Canton Number 68; Brigadier-General J. C. L. Pugh. The membership of the troop numbers about fifty. The Odd Fellows Beneficial Association of Columbus was organized in January, 1868. Past Grand Master Joseph Dowdall was its secretary until 1882, when he was succeeded by the present efficient officer, Edward Pryce. This association has paid out over $3,000,- 000. The second Tuesday of June has been designated as Memorial Day, and annually on that date the order assembles in its lodge rooms, or in churches or halls and holds exereises appropriate to the occasion.

THE MÄNNERCHOR.

The Columbus Mannerchor, the oldest musical society in the city, was first organized on October 24, 1848. Its original members were J. P. Bruck, William Siebert, W. F. Marks, Andreas Schneider, Philip Conrod, C. Schneider, C. Bau- müller, Frederick Noll, Heinrich Freyer, Martin Krumm, Jonas Kissel, Daniel König, William Raine, Junior, and George Schneider. The first officers were : President, William Siebert; secretary, Jonas Kissel ; treasurer, A. Schneider; director, Carl Schneider. For a time the society met in small private apart- ments and in an attic over the store of W. H. & D. M. Aiken. In 1867, it met in Hettenheimer's Hall ; in 1867-8 in Naughton Hall ; from 1868 to 1872 in Schrae- der's Hall. In December, 1872, it removed to Germania Hall, erected for it by J. & L. Zettler on the corner of Friend and Fourth streets. Here it took a lease for ten years. Its present headquarters are in the Wirthwein building, on South High Street. Among its musical directors, named in the order of service, have been Carl Schneider, I. Machold, A. Gutman, Charles Münster, Otto Dresel, A. de Prosse, H. Nothnagel, K. Spohr, Carl Schoppelrei and Herman Eckhardt.

In its earlier career the musical efforts of the Mannerchor were unpreten- tious and limited to local occasions, but after nearly a score of years of practice and training it entered upon a larger field and achieved wide distinction. In the fourth festival of the North American Sängerbund, held at Columbus in June, 1852, it took a prominent part. It sang the welcome in a grand concert at Neil's New Hall on June 5, and on the same day was presented with a banner by the Ger- man ladies of the city. The presentation address was spoken by Miss Wirth and responded to by Mr. Krumm. On April 28, 1854, the society gave a grand con- cert at the City Hall. In June, 1856, it took part in a great musical festival held by the North American Sangerbund at Cincinnati ; in June, 1859, it attended the eleventh anniversary of the same organization at Cleveland. In a great Sanger- fest held at Louisville in July, 1866, it won a massive silver goblet valued at $250, offered as a prize by the New York Liederkranz. On its return from this exploit it was received with much enthusiasm by its Columbus friends and admirers, many buildings being decorated in its honor.

Its local performances from this time on were frequent and notable. A series of concerts which it gave at. Naughton Hall during the winter of 1869 attracted much attention, and did much to awaken musical interest in the city. Among the most accomplished instrumentalists and vocalists who cooperatel in its performances of this period were Miss Fanny M. Smith, Miss Laura Backus, Miss C. C. Bailey, Miss Emma J. Lathrop and Miss Caroline Schneider. As a compliment to Miss Smith's admirable vocalism the society, on March 6, 1868, presented to her a superb set of jewelry. On May 18, 1868, the Männerchor was reincorporated, its declared object at that time being " to encourage and cultivate a taste for music." In behalf of the ladies of the society a beautiful silk flag was presented to it on July 6, 1869, by Misses Schatz, Bühl and Siebert ; response by Joseph Falkenbach. On October 25, 1869, the twentyfirst anniversary of the society was celebrated by a concert and banquet.

In May, 1871, the Mannerchor ventured into the operatic field, and under the skilful leadership of Professor Carl Schoppelrei, gave two performances of Lortzing's opera entitled Zar and Zimmerman. In a national Sängerfest held at St. Louis in June, 1872, the society bore a conspicuous part. On February 6, 1873, it successfully performed Von Weber's opera, Der Freischutz, at the Opera House. It gave a testimonial benefit on this occasion to its accomplished leader, Professor Herman Eckhardt.

The thirtieth anniversary of the society was celebrated at the Germania Hall on October 24, 1878. Its thirtyseventh anniversary was celebrated in October, 1885 Of its original members only Henry Freyer was then living. On October 24, 1887, the thirtyninth anniversary was commemorated by a banquet at which about 250 persons were present. In June, 1888, both the Mannerchor and the Liederkranz attended the National Sangerfest at St. Louis. On October 24, 1888, the Mannerchor celebrated its fortieth anniversary at Wirthwein Hall, A ban- quet was spread on that occasion by the ladies of the society and was accompanied by toasts, speeches and songs. At the Metropolitan Opera House, on May 19, 1889, the society gave a successful performance of Lortzing's opera, Der Waffen- schmied, under the leadership of Profes-or Herman Ebeling.
