THE EVENING STAR: i WASHINGTON, D.C.. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7. 1889. WASHINGTON AS A MASON. WHERE HE TOOK THE SECRET VOWS. OLD FREDERICKSBURG LODGE ———— Interesting Relics in Alexandria. aga The Lodge of Which Washington Be came the Master—-The Memorials Preserved by the Alexandria Washington Lodge—A Ma- sonic Picture of the Father of His Country. —— ASHINGTON has an el- der sister on each side, Alexandria and George- town, old maids left out in the cold, as it were, but who admire their dashing sister that has made such a good match with Uncle Sam. Wash- ington city is all very well, they think, for her present and her future, but when ft comes to talking of the family—of the past—then one of the old maid sisters must come to the front. So, when Gen. Washington's Masonic relations excite Interest.as they do now to the Knights Templar, Alexandria comes out to do the agreeable and be garrulous. His Ma~ sonic life is hers, and she is more than proud of it. George Washington was made a ——> in Lpegehope pe + Ser pee Bare fa ie born and of good repot mat in its proceedings. The Fi Frederickebar arg lodge was chartered January 90, 1787. The seal of the old lodge forms the > imitial of this cut. No Masonic po ob existed in old Belhaven or Alex- andria nearer than Fredericksburg at the time Washington took up his residence at Mount Vernon, but it is almost certain he took part in military lodges held in_the army after the ar- rival ot the French. While he was away from home the project of establishing a Masonic lodge at Alexandria had been discussed there by Dr. Elisha C. Dick, Robert Adams, Jobn Allison, Michael Ryan, Peter Don and William Hanter. who had been made Masons at different lodges during the previous twenty years. The time of ‘war was not deemed fitting for the establish- ment of a lodge, but in 1782, after Corowallis had surrendered and while negotiations for peace and independence were in progress but not completed. application was made by these S tlemen to the Grand lodge of Pennsylvania for charter to open a Masonic lodge at Alexandria, and under a Pennsylvania warrant Alexandria lodge, No. 39, was opened in Alexandria at a house on Union street near Duke street on the 25th day of February, 1783. The lodge for some time held its meetings at the Lamo tavern on Union street near Point Lemly, foot of Duke street. then one of the public marts or landing places of the town. Very soon most of the lead- ing citizens of Alexandria became Masons. Gen. Washington was then on the Hudson at Newburg awaiting tne treaty of peace and ealm- ing the threatened turbulence of an army im- patient at the failure of the Congress to comply with its promises. But when the independence had been acknow! and Washington had resigned at Annapolis his military commission and came home on Christmas eve, 1783, to the quiet and peace of domestic life at Mount Ver- non, Alexandria lodge was in full operation. Immediately upon the knowledge that Wash- ington had passed through the town on his way home the lodge convened and addressed totheir illustrious brother the following letter: “ALEXANDRIA, 26th December, 1788. “Str: Whilst all denominations of peopie biess the happy occasion ot your excellency’s retura to @ujoy private and domestic felicity, permit us, sir, the members of lodge 39, lately estab- Lshed in Alexandria, to assure your exceliency that we as a mystical body rejoice in having a brother so near to us whose pre-eminent benev- clence has secured the happiness of millions, and that we shall esteem ourselves highly honored at ail times your excellency shall be pleased to join us in the needful business. “We have the honor to be in the name and on behaif of No. 39 your exceliency’s devoted friends and brothers, “Rogert ADAM, W.M.

THE LaST WELCOME: After Washington returned to Alexandria on his resignation of the presidency he was’ wel- comed home by the lodge, which sent him the following letter: ALEXANDRIA, March 28, 1797. Most Resrectep Sir: Brothers Ramsey and Marsteller wait upon you with a copy pr pa ads dress which has been prepared by the unani- mous desire of the Ancient York Masons of Lodge No. 28.

A banquet was then served at Abert’s, and among the toasts drank upon the occasion was one by Washington: “The lodge at Alexandria and all Masons throughout the world.” This was the last meeting of Washington with his Alexandria brethren. He was accompanied by @ committee as far as Cameron river ford, and he took his way to Mount Vernon. never to meet again in the terrestial lodge. . THE WILLIAMS PORTRAIT OF WASHINGTON. Two years later he was called “from work to refreshment.” On Sunday, Devember 15, 1790, the morning belis were ringing for church when the news came “Washington is dead.” The bell- ringing ceased for a few minutes and then the bells began to toll, and tolled night and day un- tilthe Alexandria Masons dropped the acacia into the grave of the most renowned Mason that ever “traveled to the east.” On Monday the 16th a funeral lodge was held, Dr. E. C, Dick, worshipful master; Col. George Deneale. seaior warden; Col, Dennis Ramsay, — warden; David Wilson Scott, secretary; B. Jameson, treasurer, William Bartleman, senior deacon; Josiah Natson, Junior deacon: Jno. C. Kempff Tyler and 33 Masous being present. Arrangements for his funeral having been made in Brook lodge ot Alexandria and Federal lodge of Washington. united on Wednesday the 18th of December his lodge to Mount | Vernon, and, whea after the services of the Epis- copal church had been performed, buried the Grand Mason with Masonic rite, Worshipful Mas- ter Dick and Rev.

A few years iater the uame of the illustrious master of the lodge was added to its | Name and for more than eizbty years it has been known as Alexandri-Washingtoa lodge. WASHINGTON AND THE ANTI-MASONS. The opponents of Masonry in Washington's time sought to withdraw him from his order by representing that the orzanization was being used in Europe to advance the purposes of the Muminati, and desigued to overthrow the church or state, then heid by many to be iden- ticai with social order. A Lutheran minister, Rev. G. W. Snyder of Frederick, Md., sent him in 1797 a.copy ot “Robertson's Proofs of a Con- ." designed to show that European Free lasonry Wasa menance to pablie order. In reply Washington wrote to him. “I have heard much of the nefarious and dan- gerous ptan and doctrines of the illumnati; but never saw the book until you were pleased to | send it to we. The multiplicity of matters * * * * allows we to add little more now than thanks for your kind wishes and favorable sentiments, except to correct the error which | yoo have runinto of my presiding over the inglish lodges in this country.

Tobias Lear, who was General Washing- ton’s private secretary in the last years of his life and who received and evade out his dying in) junction. After Wastington’s death the nel was appointed United States consul to Tunis, and Major Mountford accompanied him in the eapacity of secretary of the consulate. While there he was indefatigabte in the cotiec- tion of animals, rare birds, skins, pictures, med- als and other rarities. These he brought back with him to this country. He wasa Freemason ind united with Alexandria-Washington lodge about i809. The lodge had in its a number of relics of Washington. There were, also, in the possession of the military compa- nies of the town various flags that had cap- tured from the British and the Hesetans during the Revolutionary war. There were some cauri- onities, too, in the old town house that stood at the corner of Fairfax and Cameron streets, where the ceurt house now stands, and there the museam was first begun under the auspices of this lodge. When, in 1816, the new market house was built, the third story rooms = we have mentioned were appropriated ti the Alexandria Museum. There all these curiosities were gathered and arranged by Major Mountford. He boarded for awhile at the City hotel, but soon made his home at the museuin. A little room there contained his do- mestic furniture and his fiddle, and there he lived, sometimes poorly enough, and there in 1846 he died. He wasin manner a gentleman of the old school, generally courteous and ur- bane, but sometimes irritable and violent. His figure was as well kaown in the market as the town clock itself, and few of the dealers that at- tended market but had heard his store of anec- dotes time and again until they came to know them as well as he did himself. He hed skill in nosing out curiosities, and every cat an extra head, or a dog with five legs, or Siamese twins of chickens that saw the light In Alexan- dria were his booty. He was a idermist “sl no mean skill, and he stuffed and aermir animals, birds and the like many hundreds = speciinens. His chief delight, however, was his live eagles. One of these was procured inorder to perch on the arch at the corner ot King and Washingtou streets when Lafayette passed, but bed major kept up the supply, and had an eyrie for his eagles at the north end of the highest porch, which was railed in so asto make a The purchasers in market always heard screatn of the eagles above the hubbub of the market place. The butchers fed the eagles free. It ts said that toward the close of Maj. Mount- ford’s life he himself subsisted to some extent upon the meat the butchers furnished the eagles. The last eagle died a short time before his master’s death—if eazles can be said to have masters.” “After Major Mountford died in 1846 the Washington relics werewithdrawa byAlexandria- Washingion lodge and preserved In the lodge Tooms. Both the museum in the lodge room were destroyed by fire in 1871, but while the relics in the museum a perished those in the lodge room were preserved.
