ODD FELLOWS’ DAY.

and take courage from the past, to make
its future more useful, more felt in the com
munity in which we live.'"
The speaker went on to answer the ques
tions winch he had propounded. The
order’s mission, said he, is a high and holy
one, teaching in the most impressive man
ner the brotherhood of man. the fatherhood
of God. He did not claim that Old Fellow
ship was the perfection of human nature,
but he did claim that its superior cannot
be found among the institutions having for
their object the amelioration of the human
race.
THE BUILDING COMMITTEE.
Chairman David Porter was called upon
to respond’ to the sentiment:
“The builders and the building commit
tee—have been indefatigable in their efforts,
exhibiting an earnestness worthy of the
greatest commendation.”
Mr. Porter having already spoken in re
sponse to the sentiment, The Patriarchs
Militant, said:
During the dedication ceremony this after
noon it became my duty to say to the Grand
Master: "It is not the business of the commit
tee to allude to their own labors, nor the man
ner in which those labors have been performed;
nor would good taste permit us to descant on
the fitness of the edifice for the sacred purpose
to which it. is designed." This restriction bears
upon the committee to night as fully as it aid
this afternoon. I therefore, by direction of the
Building Committee, request that Past Grand
Master George H. Stone respond for ns.
Past Grand Master Stone in responding to
the sentiment, said:
It is with great pleasure that I respond to this
toast, for much honor is due both the builders
and the Building Committee for the efficient
manner in which they have prosecuted their
lalsirs to a sueessful termination. And I take
this occasion to thank the builders in the name
of the order, for the energy,fidelity and prompt
ness which they hare displayed in their work.
In the name of the order, I thank the Building
Committee for their energy and fidelity, and for
the aide maimer in which they have followed
Up the builders, lipon an examination of the
committee. I find that it is composed of three
members, viz: Brothers Porter, Fret,well and
Nichols, aud 1 mu constrained to think that
there was a deep significance in the number;
that it was intended to represent the three
gieat principles of the order, Friendship,
Love and Truth. I pou an exainina
tion of the characters of the gentle
men composing the committee I
feel assured that they possessed for each other,
as well as for the order ut large a true and lasting
■I, which as the work progressed doep
a permanent love, and as a lasting
t and a true love cannot exist unless
with that cardinal virtue truth, 1 am
believe that they possess a large share
commodity. I am assured,
it it was a’s'o intended to rei
resent by this committee three other
great and fundamental principles of the Older,
viz: Fait h. Hope and Charity. It will not take
the hrothers long to tetl who was selected lo
represent Faith: for tf there ever was an illus
tration of sublime faith it Is to tie found in the
person of David Porter, Chairman. I remem
ber that soon after the commencement of the
building I said: “Brother Porter, have you is
sued any bonds yet?” “Bonds," said he, “No.
Don’t trouble a bout bonds: as soon as we have the
building above ground the bonds will float off
themselves, - ’ aud if any one bad approached
him when the earth was shaking the very
foundation of our habitation, as well as our
courage, and aske i him if the building was in
danger, he would have replied: “What! that
substantial structure disturbed by a simple
earthquake? No, sir: that temple is founded
upon principles as enduring as time itself.”
In the selection of such a committee it was
liessary to support Faith with an ardent
pe. and for this was Brother Fretwell
Feted. The third member of the committee,
Dther Mendel, was (selected to represent
krity, and no better selection could he made.
THAT GOAT.
°ast Grand ,T. R. Sr ussy responded bn
irously to: That Goat—successfully ridden
thousands, yet never seen by the outside
rid.
The subject for which he had to speak
was very much curtailed in its origin, said
the speaker, and he proposed to make his
narrative short. Symbols have ever char
acterized the human race. The nations of
the world all have had their symbols.
Russia has her thick-furred bear, indicative
of the icy clime over which her
ruler holds sway. England has her
lion indicating the crul power and the grasp
ing desire of the nation on whose realms the
sun never sets. The eagle of the Roman
empire of France and of the United States
is the bird of freedom. The lamb of Mason
ry is the emblem of innocence. The speaker,
proceeding, said that he would not have the
foat regarded as an Odd Fellow.
n the popular imagination he
is the beast of burden, which the neophyte
in Odd Fellowship carefully and tenderly
rides along the rugged road to light ami
liberty. It may seem strange that the goat
of all other animals should bo adopted by
ihe order. But when the glint’s origin
is considered it is found to lie a very
ancient animal, lie welcomed Adam in
the Gordon of Eden. Tiie goat was first
found after the flood among the mountains
of Asia, liis being there was due to the
fact that he would not be driven or coaxed
into the Ark by Noah, and when the flood
came the animal of course hud to seek
high ground and get up on the bluffs.
It was w hile on one of the piealcs of
the Himalayas that the goat first
acquired a taste for literature, his first meal
being made of a sjieeial edition of some daily
laper issued about that time, and which
edition the waves tossed nbout and finally
lodged near where the goat was standing.
The goat is ancient, and so are tile princi
ples of Odd Fellowship. The goat is the
jxxu- man’s row. Odd Fellowship is the poor
man’s friend. Its charities are as broad as
its tenets.

The ninth toast, “The Press—Which has
aided so much in disseminating the princi
ples aud teachings of the order,” was re
sponded to by Past Grand J. H. Estill.
The tenth toast, “Our invited guests
—Whose presence has added so much to the
pleasures of the evening.” was to have been
responded to by Grand Warden D. B. Wood
ruff, of Macon. In Mr. Woodruff’s absence
the response was omitted.
The last toast was “Woman—As un Odd
Fellow, and otherwise,” and was responded
to by P. G. R. J. S. Tyson.
The tables were then removed from the
hall and nt midnight dancing was begun
and continued until the woe sina hours of
morning. The day was un event

_ HERE was less observ
ance of Memorial day in
tjky y ft Savannah this year than
Jjy. |J r ftK’ there has been in years
vikl* > Mir l ,ast - There were no
<v *Syt t public exercises, and aside
from a suspension of busi
ness in the afternoon the day passed like
any other. The banks and exchanges were
closed during the entire day, and at
2 o’clock most of the retail business
houses closed. The courts adjourned on
Monday until to-day. At tho post office
Sunday hours were observed. The action
of the "Post Office Department authorizing
the observance of the day as a legal holiday
is the first time that it has been recognized
as such by the Federal government.
AT THE CEMETERIES.
The weather in the afternoon was beauti
ful and crowds went out to the cemeteries.
The street cars on all the lines were taxed to
carry the people. They began going early
after dinner, though the majority did not go
until late. Between 5 and li o'clock the
crowd at Laurel Grove was the greatest,
Anderson and West Broad streets and the
other streets leading to the cemetery held a
continuous line of carriages filled with flow
ers for the graves of loved ones who sleep
underneath the oaks.
THE SOLDIERS’ GRAVES.
The decorations of the soldiers’ monument
and graves were not so elaborate as they
were last year. The principal decoration of
the inonunfent was a lieautiful wreath of
roses, in the centre of which was a G. A. R.
mourning badge and the inscription, "Win
field Scott Hancock Post No. 48, Grand
Army of tho Republic.” The wreath was
presented to tho ladies of the Memorial As
sociation by Messrs. S. B. F. Gillespie, Wil
liam R. Zaaimert and William H. Devlin,
a committee representing the Post. Upon
each marble headstone in the lot
was a wreath or bouquet. The decorations
of private lofft were not as fine as they have
been in former years when there was an
abundauee of flowers.
AT THE OATES.
The ladies of the Memorial Association
had boxes placed at the gates of tho ceme
tery to receive the contributions of
visitors, and there were few who
did not make some offering in
memory of those who fought and died for
tile Southland. It was dusk before the
crowds left the cemetery and tho gates were
closed for the night. At the Cathedral
cemetery and at Bonaventure there were
many very fine decorations. The Const
Line railway carried out crowds of people
to both i ciuolerits. The soldiers’ graves at
Isle of Hope w ere also decorated.

THE CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
The ladies who had charge of the decorat
ing of the Confederate monument in the
Park extension were unable, owing to the
scarcity of 'flowers, t<* arrange a very
elaborate decoration.
The steps leading up the embankment on
the north side of the monument were strewn
with evergreens and wreaths and bouquets
of roses. ()n the face of the monument was
the inscription,

in green upon a white scroll. Underneath
it was a bank of roses. Festoons of moss
and evergreens hung from the
corners of the pedestal, and wreaths
and bouquets were tastefully arranged in
1 h<* niches, and on the south lace of the mon
ument was a shield of immortelles, and upon
the east face, above the inscription
Come from the four winds
O, Breath,
And breathe upon these slain
That they may live,
was a beautiful wreath of evergreens. All
around the base of the monument were
strewn flowers and moss. The deco
ration, although not elaborate, was
striking in its simplicity. Crowds of people
on their way through the Park from the
cemeteries stopped to admire the arrange
ment.
AN ACTOR’S GRAVE DECORATED.
The members of the Ford Dramatic Asso

UNDER BETHESDA’S OAKS
TEE UNION SOCIETY’S 137TH
ANNIVERSARY.
A Gala Day for the Orphans—lnterest
ing Exercises at Whitfield's House of
Mercy - The Society’s Anniversary
Meeting Dr. Bacon’s Letter Presi
dent Estill’s Report Officers and
Managers Elected.
Under the rules of the Union Society it is
required that when its anniversary, which
is St. George’s day, April 23, occurs on Sat
urday or Sunday it must be observed on
the following Tuesday. The society’s one
hundred and thirty-seventh anniversary,
therefore, was celebrated yesterday. The
attendance was larger than it has been for
the past ten years, especially of young peo
ple.
The day was all that could be desired. At
an early hour the spacious grounds at Be
thesda were dotted with groups of those
who had come out to spend the holiday, and
every train added to the number. Tho
energetic stewards of the society, Messrs.
Osceola Butler, John B. Fernandez, Frank
W. Dasher and W. Iv. Wilkinson, hail not
only made ample provision for the Bethesda
boys, but also for visitors. Barrels of lemon
ade and ice water were in their usual places
beneath the oaks, and a brass and string
band furnished music.
THE ANNUAL MEETING.
At 1 o'clock ttie members assembled in
the public room in the Orphan House for
the transaction of business. The, reports of
the officers were read and received. A letter
from Rev. Thomas Boone was read express

at the anniversary of an institution in which
he has always taken so much interest.
The President stated that he had received
a letter from Rev. Dr. Leonard W. Bacon,

the letter nnd afterwards made a short
speech in which lie congratulated the mem
bers of the society and its wards upon the
prosperity which had attended the institu
t ion.
To Col. J. H. Bit ill, President of the Villon
Society:
i ikak Mr. President I have cherished to the
lost moment the hope that I might he well
enough to fulfill to-day the appointment with
which the Union Society lias honored me. But
I tind that 1 huve not the strength for It.
Th<* disappointment will be less to the society
and its friends than it is to me. What to me is
so full of fresh interest might naturally, in iny
telling of it, be -ome to you like a much more
than twice-told tale. But l have hoped
that being led thus, by your invitation, over
gn mud so long familiar tri you all, I might, at
least.occasion you the sort of pleasure with which
an old traveler, from whom the zest of first im
pressions has long been worn away, escorts
some novice into scenes of beauty and historic
interest, and renews the delight of his own
former enthusiasm in witnessing, half with
amusement and half with sympathy, the fresh
raptures of his companion.
In looking intimately into the wholly origi
nal and characteristic colonial history of Geor
gia, it is to lie confessed that one mixes some
elements of interest that abound in the history
of t he older colonies. The daring heroism of the
Virginia adventurers is nol there; nor the pu
thetic weakness mi l poverty of the Plymouth
pilgrims, ami not. in the same degree the inspi
ration of a high religious faith and the anticipa
tion of vast future results in the midst of the
feeblest lieglnuings. which nobly characterized
all the New England colonies. But if there was
less of faith and of hop' conspicuous in the
founding of Georgia, there w as more of charity,
and that is "the greatest of thrse lhree."
UKOIKUA'a EAIU.V HISTORY.
Then I find an immense charm in the com
parative recency of the primeval age of Geor
gia. It tills receded far enough inlo the past to
Ih-coihc picturesque and venerable without
growing 111 the leust indistinct. That singularly
fine old military type of Oglethorpe,
"With his old three-cornered hat
Ahd his breeches anil all that,"
is authentically reported to us by the one wit
ness who wiu present, as whispering soft notli
ings lie!ween Ills nut-cracker Jaws, at the
sprightly age of 00, to the blooming young
Hannah More. To the aged and illustrious
Hannah More, little Tom Macaulay,

of time, when the society, simuWaiteousiy with
the city and the commonwealth, is emerging
magnificently from u period of depression and
looking forth upon a prosp -ct of unequaled op
portunity for great sen ices to humanity—to
speak rather of what ought to be
done than of what has been
done. It would lie a shame on the management
if it should not feel the responsibility and the in
spiration of such a moment, and rise to the oc
casion with great plans and large endeavors.
I trust tiiat my enforced silence may provoke
more eloquent lips to tho utterance which the
horn-requires. Yours very truly,
L. W. Bacon.
After the benediction by Rev. Mr. Webb
the meeting adjourned.
The remainder of t lie day passed away
very quietly and pleasantly, and it was not
until trie last team left Bethesda station that
the 137th anniversary came to a close.
THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT.
Tho President submitted his report as fol
lows:
To the Members of the Un ion Society:
You will perceive from the several reports
herewith submitted that, the society has had a
prosperous veur. A larger number of boys have
been cared for at Bethesda during tiiat period
than ever before, and the financial affairs of the
society are in a better condition than they have
been since the building of the present Orphan
House.
THE BOYS.
Eighty-four boys have I icon on the roll during
the year, forty of whom were admitted during
that time. Fourteen have left for various causes,
and seventy are now in the institution. The
average cost of caring for each boy, including
the expense of the farm and salaries of em
ployes, has been about $70,000. This amount
does not include schooling, which is now pro
vided by the Board of Education. The health of
th<* orphans has been, with few exceptions, ex
cellent, and their behavior good. I have not
had a single case of misbehavior reported to
me during the year. Tiie committee which ex
amined the school report that the boys show a
marked improvement in tlieir studies, as com
pared with previous years.
TUE FARM AND DUILDINOS.
The farming operations have not been very
satisfactory. The freeze in January reduced
the oat, crop one-half, and that in Jlarch de
stroyed ail the vegetables, except the green
peas. The farm has been replanted, however,
and, with favorable weather, it is expected that
there will be an abundauee of vegetables.
The inside and outside wood work of the main
building has needed repain ting for several years,
but owing to our financial condition the money
could not be spared for that purpose until re
cently. when, having an opportunity to have
this work done at a very reasonable outlay, I
availed myself of it. I also have had four rooms
in the building ceiled and plastered. As soon as
our means will permit- 1 lioiie the Orphan House
will be completed and finished throughout ac
cording to the original plan.
The school house tins been enlarged and re
shingled, and the laborers' quarters reboarded.
The old dining-room and kitchen have been put
in good order aiul are now used as a laundry and
wash-room. The total outlay lor the improve
ments above referred to whs
The old wooden building, formerly used as a
dormitory, and which threatened to tumble
down, has liccn removed A portion of the
fencing is in bad order, and will have to be re
placed during the coming year.
THE SOCIETY'S PROPERTY.
The Whitaker stive', property, excepting the
old Masoulo Hall and 1: .gore recently occupied
by Mr. Meyer, is still under rental, thougii no
now leases ha *e been entered into, as it is ex
pected that the western portion of the lot wifi
soon lr’ improved.
The Soutti Broad strept property is still under
rent to n good tenant.
The Telfair property is also rented to good
tenants. A part of the building was damaged
by fire recently, but tiiat has entailed no loss on
the society, as the tenant skiff occupies it and it
was fully insured, it is now lieing repaired.
The Springfield lots, with the exception of
those rented to the late Gen. Finnegan and Mr.
Hanlon, are bringing in a regular income. By
order of the Board of Managers the matter of
Gen. Finnegan's indebtedness, which now
amounts to Si,"is lli. was placed in 1 he hands of
our attorneys, out nothing further has yet been
done looking to recovering possession of the
property.
Tn Tipperary place and the lowa lands are
still on our hands, and are an annual charge
against the treasury, with small prospects of
the society's ever getting back the amount paid
in taxes on them. I was authorized to dispose
of both these trusts, but have not been able to
find purchasers.
SALE OF TEE PAVILION HOTEL.
At a meeting of the Board of .Managers, on
July 2. Mr. J. A. Wood, of New York, who was
present by in vita, ton, made a proposition to
turni.sh plans fora hotel to occupy the Pavilion
Hotel lots, not to cost over $1 lUX'd. and lease
the same for a term of years for §IO,OOO. The
offer was accepted, ami on Oct. 5 Mr. Wood pre
sented his plans. puds were called for and a
number ot well known contractors submitted
estimates for erecting the building, but these
estimates were so muen in excess of the amount
called tor by Mr. Wood's plans, and so far be
youd the financial resources of the society, that
they werffall rejected. The failure of tins plan
to improve the society's property, and at the
same lime provide Savannah with a rauch-to-be
desired hotel, was deeply regretted by the board,
more especially so because the architect who
had given so much time and thought to the
matter had done so without charge to the socie

The failure of the scheme for building a hotel
canoed the society to reopen the question of
disposing of the property, and in December it
was offered to the trustees of the Chatham
Academy for s.‘>o,ooo. The misters accented the
offer, agreeing to pay Hie price in cash, or iu

Th#* government having ml vert Ited for pro

of Managers, on Aug. 24 authorized the Com
mittee on Town Property to offer the property
on Whitaker street for the
sum of $40,000. The offer was
afterward reduced to ?M7.0 )o. It was the desire
of a very large number of citizens that this site
Nhoiild b • selected, us ii was nearer the centre
of business than any other proposed, but the
government officials thought otherwise, and
though we have no official Information on th**
subject, it is understood the offer was rejected.

lamented Mrs. Chaplin, have been faithful in
the discharge of the duties of their important
positions
Mrs. Ferguson and her daughters, who are
never weary of their good work, still give care
ful attention to the Sunday school. It is for
tunate for Bethesda that it has such neighbors.
Several young gentlemen living in the neighbor

assisted in conducting the Sunday school.
Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham have given
their professional services, as usual, free of

Virginia City Letter to the Philadelphia Press.
Courtaine off the stage was as much a wit
as on it. Once he, was on one of his “periodi
cals” while playing a very important en
gagement at Maguire's and could not be
found. The house was half full. No Cour
taine was to be found. Maguire was about
giving up in despair, with the intention of
notifying the audience, when a boy handed
him an envelope in Harry’s well-known
handwriting. Hastily tearing it open, a
pawn ticket dropped out. It, read: “Pawn
office of , No. Kearney street.
Lent to Harry Courtaine, upon his living
body, the sum of twenty (S2O) dollars.”
Hastily rushing up Washington street to
the pawnbroker’s office, which was near the
Bella Union Theatre, Tom ran into the
pawnbroker’s office, and there labeled with
a tag —a counterpart of the one Tom had re
ceived —M as the Comedian Courtaine sitting
at the tabic with the pawnbroker enjoying
a punch and salmon. He had pawned him
self for S2O early in the afternoon, and with
a few congenial friends been down to the
Cliff House, and returned in time to be re
deemed by Maguire. Suffice it to say that
the money was paid and Harry appeared
that evening.

Emulsion on a young man whom physicians
at times gavq up hope. Since he began using
the Emulsion his cough has ceased, gained
flesh and strength, and from all appear
ances his life Mail be prolonged many years.”

Thirteen Ttvo-Cent Postage Stamps for
One Cent and a Quarter.
A report was in circulation through the
street the past few days that Appel &
Seliaul, the One Price Clothiers, were selling
for an advertisement thirteen two-eent
mistake stamps for one cent and a quarter.
The report quite freely circulated a
great number of people called at their store,
inquiring for the thirteen stamps for the
above mentioned price, at the same time
laying down 3c. on the counter and asked
how they were going to make the change,
whereupon they were informed that thej
could not of heard exactly right as the One
Price Clothiers do not object accommodat
ing any one by selling them thirteen 2c.
stamps for lc. and a quarter, not but
Ic. and a quarter of a dollar, but what the}
do object to is for you to go elsewhere ana
pay more money for anything in the Cloth
ing, Hate, or Gente’-Furaishing Goods line
than tbev charge, especially when you get
the benefit of getting as good a fit as any
garment made to order, as they have a first
class tailor in the house for that purpose.
To those who have not guessed at the collar
buttons contained in a glass jar on exhibi
tion at, their store for a sls suit and a gold
mounted silk umbrella, you are invited to
do so, as same will be counted by r res]x>nsible
parties on May 8. Appel & Schaul, One
