( e THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1895—TWENTY-FOUR ‘THIRTY YEARS AGO Anniversary Celebration of the Good Templars Next Week. ORGANIZATION OF THE FIRST LODGE History of the Order in This Dis- trict and Elsewhere. EARNEST WORKERS —_.—__ For some time there has been especial ac- tivity in all the lodges of Good Templars in this District in preparing for an event of decided interest not only to all those who are now enrolled as members of that order, but also to the greater number who during the past thirty years have been Members. Thirty years ago last evening the first lodge of Good Templars was or- ganized in this District, under commission from S. D. Hastings of Wisconsin, the right Worthy grand templar. The new lodge was given the beautiful name of Minnehaha, and significant and D. H. Mann. uring all these years this lodge has con- tinued to work, and is today in a prosper- ous condition. From the smallest beginning in 1851, when the first lodge was organized upon a lan formulated by a committee, of which Rev. 5. E. N. Bachus of Rome, N. ¥., and ex-Postmaster General James were mem- bers, the order has extended until today it embraces eighty-seven Grand Lodges, occu- pying nearly every civilized country in the world; the ritual is printed and used in fourteen different languages. The greatest numerical strength the order has attained 43 735,000 adults In January, 1866, the Good Templar forces in this District were increased by the instl- tution of Ray of Hope Lodge and Morning Star, the latter of which has kent Minne- haha company in uninterrupted work and fs alive today. Purity Lodge was soon thereafter organized at Tenleytown. Union and Friendship lodges made up the list of six lodges which applied for and under a dispensation were granted a charter for a N. Canfield. Grand Lodge, which was organized within one week of one year after the formation of the first subordinate lodge, and instl- tuted by James Black of Pennsylvania, the right worthy grand counsellor, Mr. L. E. Ross becoming the first grand chief tem- *plar. Plamong the charter members of Minne- haha Lodge Mr. end Mrs. James E. Dar- nall and Mr. T. L. Salkeld are yet In active membership. Mrs. Darnall has served the order not only in the office of grand vice templar, but also in that of grand coun- sellor, and Mr. Salkeld at one time served the order as grand secretary. Under the fostering care of the Grand Lodge, formed November 15, 1866, sixty-two subordinate lodges have since been organized. Today there are fifteen subordinate lodges and 1,000 members in good standing. Up to 1882 the numerical strength of the order in the District was fluctuating, but then it at- tained a membership of over 900, which in Mrs. ™ the following year was increased to nearly 1,200, between which and the present figure the numbers have since varied. The order of Good Templars was the first society to open its doors to woman with equal rights and privileges as the sterner sex. Since the organization of the Grand Lodge the office of and chief templar has been filled by L. EB. Ross, A. T. Long- ley, N. G. Finney, Dave Baker, Samuel Houston, D. P. Holloway, Chas. E. Connor, Th. P. Reid, Jas. F. Bolton, Waldo G. Perry, John S. Gourlay, J. R. Mahoney, S. L. Clark, A. H. Frear, A. Kalstrom, M. P. Caldwell, C. N. Whitney, J. W. Van Vieck and A. N. Canfield, who 1s the present in- cumbent, and fs serving his second year. Among the grand counsellors were: A. S. Taylor, W. W. Denniston, W. F. Switzler, T. L. Salkeld. William T. Bailey, T. J. Maupin, W. 8. y. J) Edward Fowler, 1. L. Corby aupin, who is at present in t of grand vice templars con- following names: Mrs. F. M. Cal- Mary A. Darnall, J. Lowry, Mary C. Mary H. Mary E. on R. Mahon M. J. Frear, Foxwell, Mary E. Bond, Julla E. Hodg Emma F. Hishop, N. L. King, Ca She wood, Carrie Ho! a. Bushby and ho Is now G. V. T. The International large Supreme Lo body of repre Is a ntatives from all grand lodges and meets bi-annually. In 1884 it met in this city and was entertain- ed by the Grand Lodge of the District in a splendid manner. At that session the late John B.Finch was elected right worthy grand templar. A Distinguished Visitor. The present right worthy grand tem- plar, Dr. D. H. Mann of Brooklyn, at the session Held in this city, was for the first time admitted to the Interna- tional Supreme Lodge as a representative of the Grand Lodge of New York, of which Grand Lodge, in 1885, he was unanimously elected grand chief templar and served as such for eight consecutive years, until elected to his present responsible office. As a speaker Dr. Mana stands in the front rark, and that he coms especially to par- ticipate in the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the order gives to the occa- sion additional and conspicuous interest The Grand Lodge of the District of Co- lumbia_has been represented in the Su- preme Lodge by the following named _per- sons: A. T. Longley, C. H. Howard, Davis Eaker, D. P. Holloway, T. P. Reid, B. F. Hawkes, A. S. Clements, Mrs. Lizzie Gourlay, A. W. Fisher, J. R. Mahoney, M. P Caldwell, A. H. Frear, John 8. Gourlay, A. Kalstrom, William T._ Bailey, Mary E. Calvo, Mrs E. A. bers, Waldo G. Perry, C. N. Whitney, J. pW. Van Vieck, T. C. Spurgeon, A. N. Can- field and Mrs. Emma F. Bishop, the pres- ent representative. The order is strictly non-political and non-sectarian. It recognizes, however, the presence and power of, and man’s account- ability to God. The expressive and beauti- ful language of the ritual has largely been drawn from the Bible and stands today al most as first written by the author, Rev. Dr. Bristol, The platform of the order adopted during its early days stands today as when first Written without the change of a word, and is regarded as a most comprehensive decla- ration of principles, This platform is com- posed of six planks as follows: I. Total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors as heverages. II. No license, in any form, under any circumstances, for the sale of liquors to be used as beverages: IIL. The absolute prohibition of the manu- facture, importation and sale of intoxicat- ing liquors for such purposes, prohibition by the will of the people, expressed in due form of law, with the penalties deserved for a crime of such enormity. I The creation of a healthy’ public opinion upon the subject, by the active dis- semination of truth in all the modes known to enlightened philanthropy. Jos. E. Daraall. V. The election of good, honest men to administer the laws. VJ. Persistence in efforts to save ind!- viduals and communities from so dreadful a scourge, against all forms of opposition and ditficulties, until our success is com- plete and universal. To encourage mutual co-operation among lodges, and afford to the members in lodges adjacent to each other, additional incentive to labor, as well as to prosecute the work in its several branches with greater continuity and more systematically, the Grand Lodge one year ago adopte: what is known as the “district system,’ according to which this jurisdiction was di- vided into three districts as follows: 1. East of North and South Capitol streets. 2. West of North Capitol street, north of Pennsylvania avenue and east of 17th street. 3. The remaining territory in the District of Columbia. These districts are under the jurisdiction of district lodges, who are fully equipped with officers and committees for aggressive work. The district chief templars are, re- spectively, Azro Goff, Edwin H. Jones and Albert E. Shoemaker, and the secretaries, S. D. Hastings. G. F. Shaw, John Smith and A. W. Camp- bell. The proposition to introduce a beneficial feature is Sow being agitated, and will probably be determined at the approaching sessions of the Grand Lodge. The celebra- tion of the thirtieth anniversary will begin tomorrow evening, when the order will at- tend service at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. Rev. Hugh Johnston, D. D., will deliver the anniversary sermon. The mem- bers will wear the plain badges at this ser- vice and assemble in the parlors of the church, entering from C street, and from there proceed up to the auditorium in a body. At the invitation of the session the First Presbyterian Church has been tendered for the use of the order on next Tuesday even- ing, when the anniversary meeting proper will be held. The members of the order will meet at 7 o'clock In the lecture room, where S. W. Russell. will be clothed in full regalia, and from whence they will, as lodges, enter the au- ditortum. Special ivitations have been sent to all the temperance organizations in the District, but the meeting will be open to the public. Mr. Jesse C. Suter, the grand marshal, as- sisted by a corps of ushers,will have charge of the seating. The following 1s the pro- gram that has been arranged: Overture, organ, Mrs. F.

It is said that although Herr Windhorst was plain almost to ugliness, he was much admired by women, Plain men are often much adhwired by many women. One of them expiains it in this way of an ugly man of her ntan fe is so very homely it is fascinating; we always wish t look at him just once more io see if he s Jast time we looked. AT DIZZY HEIGHTS From the Top of the New City Post Office Building, ih bets THE VAST MAZE OF IRON WORK es Ticklish Work Done by Men and How They Do It. oo SOME OF THE PERILS One's first im! ion as he stands on the top of the new city post office building is that he Is at an elevation of about 9,000 feet above the ievel of anywhe! Some mountains are pretty high, but when one has reached the summit he is still standing on a plece of the earth, and if he falls he only drops to the ground. That is as far as he tumbles when he leaves the top of the huge shell that will some day be a fine post office building, but those who have gone down have not lived to tell the tale. For some time past the sizht of a num- ber of workmen climbing about the tur- rets and dormers,of the big building Ike so many flies, has interested people along the avenue, who have stopped and shaded their eyes to look up and watch men at work in about ss awkward and perilous situations as can be conceived of. The most curious part of it all was the apparent indifference with which they went about their tasks. To filt about on such lofty pinnacles, hammering away at stone and iron, with nothing between one and the hard, cold earth below but some November sunshine and a pretty good quality of at- mosphere requires a genuinely gcod nerve. Men who are addicted to fits or vertigo had better not ask for employment on the tep floer of the post office building. But the ironworkers pay ro more attention to it than if they were putting in a few hours of work on solid ground. It !s simply the old story of familiarity breeding contempt, which applies to danger as well as to any other element of human existence. After nearly four years of more or less faithful work the structure is up pretty nearly as high as it will ever be. The stone work is almost completed, but when the building will be ready for occupancy is quite an- other matter. A Rather TickPish Place. Yesterday morning a Star reporter spent a couple of hours wandering about among the trusses and beams and upper air that make up what will be eventually the eighth story of the big building. It was a gorgeous fall morning, and the breezes that circulated abou: the summit of the structure were made up of a better quality of air than is noticeable a hundred and fifty feet nearer the surface of the earth. But it was altogether too high for comfort. It's all right when you are ac- customed to It, but that is just where the rub comes in. Superintendent Kinsey, who acted as guide and informant, walked about as un- concernedly as any of the nimble iron workers, and, being a man of substance— more than 200 pounds of substance—he in- spired the feeling that where he could go it would be possible for a man less well fed to go in safety, which is all well enough as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough when it comes to traversing a nar- tow plank spread across he beams. It was very much like the little four- year-old boy of this city the first time he ever noticed a big tron railroad bridge spenning a wide river. “Wh ald he, locking out of the car window, “it’s dess niffin’ but air an’ criss-crosses. A Maze of Iron Work. Access to the big building was had by way of the east entrance on 11th street. ‘The big door is pretty well hidden by the fence and the little frame buildings that answer as offices of construction. The first view of tle interior from that point gives one only the {mpression of a vast maze of iron work. There is a good deal of same- ress about it, withal, and the whole thing looks like a honeycomb or a mammoih file cabinet, in which might be stored the rec- ords of the ages. ‘A house builder or a barn raiser of a cen- tury ago would think it a very curious way indeed to construct a building. It is ap- parently nothing but a‘ great network of steel and iron beams, columns and trusses within the outer sheel of granite walls. In the center of it all is the great court. Eight stories above it will be the flying roof of glass. The original plan provided for Interior galleries on each floor overlooking the court somewhat similar to the interior of the persion office. This would have left one room between the gallery and the outer wall. But since the work was besxun the plans have been changed at now it is intended to construct r hall- ways petween the inner and outer rooms. This will largely increase the total number of rooms in the building, although it will diminish the size of the rooms. These halls will be lighted for the most part through windows and glass doors, let- ting in light both from the streets anid the irterior court. Officials in the architect's office have been at work recently layy out plans for the rooms to be occupied by the city post office proper. According to present expectation the city postmaster will have for his office the room at ths north- east corner of the building, which will make one of the handsomest offices in the capital. Rooms in the Towers. When completed the butlding will be pro- vided with five elevators running from the ground to the top floor. Three of these will be on the 11th street side and two on the opposite side of the building In the rear there will be hoists from the basement to the first floor fer the convenience of the employes cf the city post office. T work of any importance that still to be done is on the front of the building, where about the tower a ecuple. of stories are still to be completed. ‘The carved stone frieze which was in place just above the lettering, Anno Domini, ct has been removed, and is to be put’ ba again at the top of the eighth story. Th tower will have then seven stories higher to run, It will contain office rooms for two or three floors above the top of the build- ing proper and above that provision will be made for store rooms. Access is given to the tower from the hallw of the dif} ferent floors, but above the roof of the building proper there will be a staircase lead to the upper part. At present about the only way of reach- ing the top of the building by a tem-| porary wooden staire vhich has been built on the 11th street % There is a handrail on the side, but even with that the ‘ent seems very different to going up an ordinary tight of stairs. There is so much more chance for falling off and so lit- tle to stop one’s fall. Lookin down on either side gives one the fecling that he is | standing on the tes of a railroad bridge, | where a misstep Would be followed by un- pleasant consequences. The View in Fine. Slowly one rises higher and higher until the roof is reached, when the first impres- sion one receives Is of the magniticent view that stretches out on all sides. While, o: course, not comparable with the views from the Capitol or the monument, the vista is extremely fine, especially up and down Pennsylvania avenue. ‘To a perso: who [s unaccustomed to such a place it is more satisfactory anyhow to look off | toward the horizon than it is to look town |. between the narrow boards on which he is standing. A narrow pathway runs all around the | building, composed of two-inch planks laid | across the iron beams, and the workmen trot around this and step across over the beams and around the columns as calmly and coolly as if they were walking on an asphalt street. In places platforms have teen built out and-there are mortar, board and piles of sand lying about, just as they would be on the greund in front of an er- Ginary building. But the most remarkable thing of all is to!seeithe tronworkers climb- ing over the columns and beams, which are to support the cortile tru: of the roof. ‘These are abowe the eighth floor proper. | A man climbed up ene of these as nim as he would upsan awning pole and, ma ing his way out across an I beam, sat down on ft astride and: warked there over rivets and bolts in the:most unconcerned manner possible. He hag need of a hammer nd a workman standing below tossed it up to him. It was not a very good throw and in order to catch it he was compelled to lean out as far as he could without actually losing his balance... If he had failed to catch the hammer it would have dropped the better part ef aicouple of hundred feet to the ground below, and a real ironworker would rather take the chance of dropping himself. Result of Carelessness. The constructio# of the post office has not been free from fatalities. Four men have met their death while at work on the building. .One,was killed directly at the main entrance to the building by a huge plete of granite falling on him as a result of the breaking of a dog in the hoisting engine. This was, of conrse, a pure acci- dent, while the other three are said to be the result of sheer carelessness on the part of the men themselves. The mzn who fell from the seventh story last summer and N instantly kiiled was using an inch board as a platform to work on. He was repeatedly warned by his foreman and fel- low-workmen, but refused to heed their adv’ One day he stepped out on to the edge of the board, which overhung the beams. The other end naturally tipped up in the alr and let him drop. Said Mr. Kinsey to The Star reporter in discussing that accident: “How a man could possibly have done what he did, a man accustomed to that sort of work and tn his right mind, is more than I can possiply understand. It simply looks to me as though his time had come, and that was all there was about it. How else can you account for a man accustomed to such work stepping out on to the end of an unsupported and unfastened plank? I may be wrong, but I am something of a fatalist, and a long lifetime in this business has led me to the conclusion that when it is a man’s time to die, ha is going to die, and it is only @ question of how it hap- pens." Two Curious Cases. One of the most curious accidents th has happened since the building was begun was that of a colored man who fell from the fifth story. He dropped down between the beams without striking any one of them, and fell on a temporary flooring at the first story. He struck this in a sittine posture, and went through to the basement beneath. Strange as it may seem, he wa: not seriously hurt, and was back again at work the next day. Another case was that of a man who fell a corsiderable distance, but was not in- stantly killed. He was able to walk to the Emergency Hospital, where he received medical treatment, and then came back again, and in the course of a few hours expressed his willingness to go on with his work. He complained of feeling badly about the head, however, and said he thought he would go back to the hospital again. He had been there but a few min- utes when his condition changed for the worse, and he died shortly after. Some Massive Trusses. Altheugh the structure is so near com- | pletion, sore of the most dangerous and difficult work still remains to be done. The progress of the work on the roof portion of the building fag ‘been considerably de layed through the ngp-arrival of a number of iron. beams .gnd trusses. These have been promised within the next six weeks, and if they arriye a3 agreed upon, it may be possible to have the building under roof by the last of Rebruary. The building af the great roof and glass skylight above the. main interior court will be an extremely dificult task. The roof light Will be supported by five cortile es stretching, im the form of a very d letter A between the east and west sides of the builing. They will in turn be “hipped” by trusseg springins from the north and south ends. These trusses will all be put together, riveted and bolted be fore they are hoisteg to the top. They will be taken up from the inside and dropp into place by the great derricks. “hen It is unfersfood that each of thes s weighs nbout fifteen tons, it will y that the task of putting th nything but child and tied d can be fa: ® by particular danger, but when ic climbing out en them to put beams in place, the workmen will job from which a man might well be ex- | cused for drawing Lack. men who will not be in an comes Places for Sxilors.

BRE! Some of the Hybrids Produced Fine Animals. From the Anaconda (Mont.) A famous Montana character is Charlie Al- lard of Ravalli. Mr. Allard is famous main- ly because he is one of the owners of the largest herd of buffalo in the country, and 1.0 man living has given to these now rare ani- mals more patient study and attention than he. “The colcest storms of winter do not trou- he says, “for their thick, shaggy re wind-proof.

Horses turn their backs to a storm, but the buffalo faces it every time. They seem to keep in about the same condition of flesh the year around, and are as good eating in the spring as they are in the fall, and a buffalo steak is as fine a morsel ever a man made a meal of. About cwo years ago I purchased the herd of buffalo, which was ut Omaha. were thirty paid (for 1 have a partner now) $18,000 for the lot. Marchiel Pablo, a well-known cat- tleman, has jo!ned me in the business, and for the past year has had entire char them, so that I do not know just exactly how many we have—about 140, I should judge now, and by the next fall there will Are andard. and, nd, defy the now is thin- storm, and “We have experimented in crossing buffalo with all breeds of cattle, and the resulis are most satisfactory, The Polled Angus stock, when crossed with the buffalo, produces a magnificent animal. The fur is finer and closer than that of the buffalo, and the meat is sweet and wholesome. We are procuring as many of these animals as possible, but will not put any on the market for several years yet. We are not selling any buffalo either, for the reason that we need them all at present. We receive letters every day from museums, parks and shows, wanting them in ail quantities, and, though we might dispose of one or two singly, we have no pairs to sell. “A good buffalo hide Is worth $100 now in the market, and heads bring from $200 to $500 when mounted, and the value of these is steadily increasing, so that buffalo breed- Ing is as good an investment as real estate.
