Supreme Arch Adam Weber and others are expected here. r . .-V OKIUIS A.ND HISTORY Of Odd Fellowship In the World and GrowtU In America. A history of Odd Fellowship is opportune at this time, as those who are not members will be curious to know how the wonderful order originated and why it has grown to be the largest in the world. Odd Fellowship grew out of the social and convivial meetings of Euglish workmen, and the first lodge, properly so called, was organized in the city of London in the seventeenth century under the name of "The Ancient Order of Odd Fellows," a name which in 2u0 years has lost tbe convivial associations then connected with it, and is now iuterlinked with sentiments of charity and morality alone. Historians of the order lay " no claim to exalted origin or dignified associations, as connected with its early English existence. The first meetings, which named tbeir members by the then somewhat jocose appellation, "Odd Fellows," were tbe homely congregations of those sturdy but humble artisans whose virtues have made England what it is, and who met as Odd Fellows to enjoy a congenial companionship over a friendly glass. Some fragmentary secret work was introduced among the different meetings, and these . fragments were consolidated, and - to some degree improved, by the lodges of the seventeenth century. From that time on to the establishment of the American lodges tbe order retained its convivial nature, and that feature was conspicuous in the lodges as first organized in tbe United States. The members were emphatically of the working classes, the officers mainly illiterate and the members not qualified to criticise. Bu t that the order had in it the seeds of great good has been abundantly proved by its subsequent works. While its founders were men of muscle rather than erudition, tbey proved by the monument of brotherly re-gtr J which they reared that they were men who were actuated by virtuous instincts and exalted motives. They proved that the generous ale which warmed their hearts was not their only cause of meeting, and that the friendships they cultivated over the flowing bowl were not ephemeral, but rooted deep in their hearts, bound by the mystic links to mutual aid, protection and improvement. TUB HISTORY OF AMERICAN ODD FELLOWSHIPis more carefully preserved and more interesting at this time. It is one of the most glorious ot tne orders, and may justly be the cause of pride and exultation to its members resident here, and their guests of tbe brotherhood now receiving their hospitality. While the first lodge in this country was established under the old order of things as inaugurated in Great Britain, tbe benevolent feature soon predominated, and shortly thereafter entirely superseded all other aims, and the lodges became a grand confederation, charitable alone in object, moral alone in spirit. It is Interesting, however, to read the account of its first or- f;anic inception on American soil, and to earn wbat its actual form was at that time. The scene and time of tbe inaugura tion of THE FIRST AMERICAN LODGE, therefore, are the objects of a lively curi- ositv. and it does not lessen respect for this" dignified system of morality to learn that it has achieved its grand labors after a beginning under anything but favorable auspices. The tirst lodge was organized in the city of Baltimore in 1819. The city was. at that time, third in population and size of the cities of tbe Union ad was, as it still is, the chief seaport and center of business for tbe State of Maryland. As a learned and eloquent historian of tbe order says; "The war with England had just closed, in which the city had been attacked, aud Washington, tbe capital of the country, but thirty-nine miles distant, was captured, aud its public edifices barbarously burnsd. It followed that England was much hated by our countrymen, and nowhere was that hatred more intense man in jtauimore. 10 be an Englishman was an offense to both pride and patriotism, and all such were considered public and perfidious enemies. It was at this period that one i nomas Wildev and a certain John Welch, both natives of England, were residents of that city, and. as fellow-countrymen, were in the habit ot spending niucu oi their leisure time together. Wildey bad been initiated into an Odd r euows lodge in tne city oi London in 1H04. when he was 22 years of a&e, and subsequently took au active part in starting another in the same city, under the style of Morning Star Lodge No. 38. Both of tliese were subordinate to a body then known as the Grand Lodge of England, but whose authority was little recotnized outside of London city. There were then, as there are now, in England, many separate organizations and independent lodges: they were secret, and tbe only bond of union wss the use of the same form of what was denominated work.' " The Thomas Wilde. referred to above, it will be noted was conspicuous as an organizer in one lodge in London. He became famous in America. He passed away in his 80th year, October 19. 18(11, -leaving," as one of his biographers proudly writes, "forty-two jurisdictions and 200.000 Odd follows as his pyramid; a prouder tribute than ever rose to Egyptian greatneas by the sacred waters of the Nile." Jmm THOMAS WILPEY. The Fonnder of tbe Order. When Mr. Wildey first called tbe order together at Baltimore, he gave little promise and little evidence of the eloquent tribute which his worth was to win him. The founder of American Odd Fellowship fine given his biographers some trouble. Ilia private life seems to have partaken tonie-what of the reticence and mystery which are distinguishing marks of the order to which he gave such a powerful impetus. Ridgeley says : "His station was so little elevated, and his private life so uneventful, as to leave him much in the shudow. He was at all times reticent or entirely silent about himself, and iiis solitary life gave no glimpse into the obscurity of his domestic secrets. He might be ranked one remove above a common laborer. He signed himself 'Coach-spring Maker,' but his craftsmen knew him better by the name of 'Blacksmith.' " But the sturdy blacksmith, characterized by his own eulogists as illiterate and ignorant, has, by the acknowledgment of the enemies of his order, welded his three links in faithful workmanship into in vincible solidity. W In appearance he wif described by his companions as being a "striking specimen of a true John Bull, with the blutfness, sincerity and pluck of that nation." A tuel low voice aud a hearty grip, he never failed to win all comtrj in a joviul company. A man, restless, lull of vivaciiy, vitality, always breaking out in frolic and humor, at times serious, always when he saw human, suffering, "and be eagerly ran to relieve' it." - When yellow fever raged in Baltimore "Thomas Wildey was constant in his efforts to nsiist the sunerers. . He gam medicines and money, and nursed and watched the victims when many fled from the contagion." This plain I, lit eloquent statement gainisheBtho biography of him who has been drawn by his portrait painter as a round-faced, wrinkled, bald-headed, strong-featured man a man to laugh and a man to weep, a man homely, good na-tured, honest and true. Such is the picture drawn of him whom American Odd Fellowship owns as lis founder a man whose nature was conspicuously endowed with many of the virtues which have made the order which ha founded so popular and so pure; sucn tbe honieiy but true-hearted evangelist of mercy to whose honor his fellows have raised up marble spires and sculptured columns less only in symmetrical proportions and beautiful handiwork to tbe result ha himself achieved in founding 'the Independent Order Odd Fellows. Tbs first American lodge was the result ot a call, of which the following is tbe verbatim copy : "Notice to Odd FeUon't.A. few members of the Society of Odd Follows will be glad to meet their brethren for consultation upon ths subject of forming a lodge. The meeting will be held on Friday evening, tbe 2d March, 1819." Die notice was published in the Baltimore American on February 13, 1819. John Duncan and John Chtatbain responded to the call. Duncan claimed to have been initiated in the city of Baltimore seventeen years before, but could give no satisfactory account of the lodge, neither its name, location or membership, but he bad tbe password, sign and grip. It would appear, therefore, that one if not more unsuccessful attempts had been made to or ganize lodges in the United States previous to tne aoie uuuertnHiug ui it uuvy, tuc-ham had been initiated in England, and was proficient in the old work. A call to organize puoiisnea sisrcn zi, 1819. fixing the date lor Friday evening. April 2, and ths place at the "Seven Stars, Second street, at the hour of T p. m.," brought Richard Rushwortb as an ad dition, and five, the "magic number," was complete. THE SEVEN STARS, which may not inappropriately be called tbe cradle of tbe order in this country, was ' n house situated on the south side of Sec ond street, between Frederick street and market space, and was conducted by William Lupton, It consisted of two stories and an attic. It was in a part of the city mostly occupied by oyster cellars and saloons. The use of tbe house by Washing- . ton lodge consisted in tbe occupancy of an upper room, I'.-rnisnea wim oencnes, rusn-bottomed chairs, a table, and lighted by candles. The walls were ornamented with prints of sea fights and domestic animals, and such pictures as Washington, LaFay-ette and other revolutionary heroes, sur-roup.dings in the utmost extreme opposite of the stately temples which ths ordor has since reared in all tbe large cities of the . continent. In September of tbe same year the lodge removed to tbe "Three Loggerheads," a hostlery of similar character ti the - "Seven Stars," but in a still less-favorea locality. Ridgely says: "A more dismal, ont-of-tbe-way place than the Three Loggerheads could scarcely have been selected, it being near the docks, where sailors and wharf-loungers were wont to assemble, and was mostly given up to the occupancy of boarding-houses . and sailois." Judging from the lamentable accounts given of tbe surroundings ot this tavern, which lor over a year harbored tbe feeble gem of Odd Fellowship, it would appear that they much resemble in character of accommodations and of Inmates the sailor boarding-bouses along the water front of San Francisco. But matters important to the order took place during the occupancy of the Three Loggerheads. It was there that the first warrant to a United States lodge was granted from England that Washington lodge first grew in importance; that the Covenant and Remembrance degrees were first promulgated and first conferred; that the Grand lodge of Maryland and of the United States was instituted and held its first session ; that ths Grand I.ode degree was adopted and first used; that tbs Golden Rule degree was first conferred in America; that Washington lodge received its second charter, the warrant issued by the rewly-orgsnized Grand lodge. So important "were the transactions of tbe pioneer lodge during its sojourn at this tavern of such uopromiMiig appellation that one of the most erudite writers of the order makes the sweeping assertion that uearly all ot CotUinucd on fourth pafe.1
