Last night, at the Masonic Temple,
the fifty-first anniversary of Grand
Tyler Timothy W. Bliss, as a Mason,
was observeu by nit> bromer Masons,
under the auspices of Ohio lodge No. 1.
Several hundred Masons Were In attendance,
and the aged and distinguished
guest of honor was freely congratulated
by his fellow craftsmen. Mr.
C. P. Flick acted as master of ceremonies.
and there were addresses by
Sir. George Jtatch, A. H. Forgey, past
master, on "Masonic History/' and by
Messrs, Flick, Bliss and others. The
lodge presented a gold offering of
to Mr. Bliss, being one dollar for each
year of membership in the order. Tim
presentation address was by Mr. Geo.
Hatch, and was a masterly effort.
Rev. C. M. Oliphant responded on liehalf
of Mr. Biles. Those present were
then invited to a powerful repast of
oysters and coffee in the baggage room,
followed by cigars for those who desired
to smoke.
Then came short talk? by Dr. H. B.
Baguley, Jlr. George* M. Ford, Mr. J.-ib.
McCahon, Prof. Charles Brllles, Prof.
C. ?. Carrlgan. Mr. Joseph Hall. Kalph
Whitehead and others, all congratulatory
to the venerable tyler, and wishing
him many pleasant n*turns of the
auspicious occasion.
Mr. Forgey'H remarks were a recital
of .Mr. Bliss's first cntranre Into Mason
ry, beginning with hla initiation January
13, 1849; his receiving the second
degree Augunt 8, and hla being made
n Mooter Mnaon October l, 1849. air.
Forney .said:
brother Bliss:-?I am delegated by the
memborH of Ohio Lodge No. 1, A. p. &.
A. Ma?ons, to Invite you to a scat In
the lodge. It la over thirty-five yearn
alnce you were first appointed tyler of
thla. lodge, and In all these yenra few
were It deemed necessary, an so very
few have sat In lodge with you.
N'o doubt .Brother Bliss, from the position
you occupy, and the Jewel you
havb worn for so many years, you Hatter
yourself that few persons know
more of the secrets or Masonry than
you do. I grant you thin in true, but
there Is one secret your brethren have
endeaVotcd for a nhort time to keep
hidden from you, but which ft our glnd
privilege to reveal to you this evening.
First, let me remind you that In this
year of grace, 1900, occurs the flfty-flrst
anniversary of your entrance Into Masonry",
The chronological history of
Ohio lodge Informs ?s that you wore
lulnted Into Masonry on the l-'Uh day
of June, 1849; on th?? 8th (Jay of AugUht
you were passed to the degree of p. C..

you wore raised to the sublime degree c
of M. M. In the lodge room located on (
Main street, in the building now* occupied
by licoth W. Graham as a furnlture
store. 1
The ofllcers of the lodge at this time a
were George M. Sights. W. M.; Jacob (
M. Warden. S. W.; R. B. Morse. J. W.; (
W. H. Houston, treasurer; Elijah Day, i
secretary; John McGaUgh'iy, S. I).: An- (

Referring to the minutes of the meet- r
ing of the lodge on Monday. October 1. a
1819, I learn there were present at the
opening of the ledge, Worthy Brother

Rogers, E. S. Lodge No. ISC, Phlladel- l(
phia. Pa.; John Goshorn and G. L. j|
Thompson, of Wheeling lodge No. 128, _
A M. M. lodge was opened in due t
form, minutes read and approved. Bro. j
J. M. Warden. S. W., and A. Dunlevy, t
S. D., now entered and took their re- e
spectlve stations. j
I am thus particular In copying the .
minutes of the meeting that our present
omccrs may Jearn now faithfully their I
predecessors attended the meetings of ,(
the lodge. Twenty-one ollicers and
members, out of a membership of probably
lcs3 than one hundred, were present.
Of those oncers and member# of No.
101 present fifty-one years ago, all save fl
one are believed to bo dead. James /
Luke, of Missouri, a brother of the late
Mr. Kobert Luke, was In the city last .
fall attending the funeral of his
brother. I tnet him then, and I pre- n
suine he is still living. ft
A few of us can remember Brothers
Sights, Day, Houston, Norton and Bal- .
ley, of No. 101, and John Goshorn, .of .
Wheeling Lodge No. 128. The others
you alone of all the present lodge mem- .
b?-rs can have a distinct recollection.
Fifty-one years ago the telegraph was ?
a mystery and a wonder. Invented
thirteen years before. The Mexican '
war of 1S17-48 had made a hero of General
Zach Taylor, and he wns elected
President of the United States, and In- ,
augurated March 4. IS 10, seven months .
before ho wis made a M. M. The city ,
of Chicago wa? mere tmdlng post or a
half-dozen huts. Had an angel told P
President Taylor that In lens than llfty *
years the President of the United States .
could sit In his room In Washington "
and converse with frlr-nds In Chicago,
old "Rough and Iteady" would have .
made It hot for the angel. Wheeling I
was without a railroad for three years
after; the first train on the Baltimore &
Ohio came Into Wheeling In ISM.
Hut this Is not a secret to you. Our 11
necret Is that your brethren of Ohio ;
Lodge having passed by so many recur- u
ring anniversaries and birth days of our u
loved tylcr, without recognition, when v
they discovered that the date. Monday,
October 1. 1900. was the exact anniversary
or your bring made a M. M., con- r
eluded It as good time as any for a date ii
of kindly recognition, hence they have
Invitediyou Inside the lodge this evening
that the brethren tnay Ret acquainted
with you and be able to vouch
for you as a M. M. In case you were to t
visit with them In some oHmr JurlHdlc- K
tlon. a
There are others present who have a
something to say, hence I conclude,
wishing you many pleriKant returns of
anniversaries and birthdays.

Citizens Asked to Decorate.
: Preparations for the "German Day"
' celebration next Monday are going on
j apace. Last night at Arion hall there
I was a joint renearsai oc tne cnoruses
of the several German singing societies*.
under Prof. Schockey.
The executive committee will meet
Thursday evening at Beethoven hall;
the marshals will meet at the same
place Wednesday evening; the finance
1 commltttee meets Friday evening at
Arlon hall.
The speaking stand Is to be erected
at the northwest corner of the citycounty
building, and next Saturday it is
to be used for the White-Holt Joint debate,
by,permission of the German Day
committee.
The street arches will be decorated
with greens this week, and will be illuminated
Sunday and Monday nights.
The different halls where entertainments
are to be given Monday night, |
will also be decorated.
Chairman Beu, of the executive committee,
says there has been an lntlma- j
tlon In certain quarters that German
Day Is In some way connected with
politics. Speaking of this, Mr. Deu says:
"German Day has nothing to do with
politics or parties. More than anything
else German Day is a patriotic
affair, and more commemorative of
what happened in America than In Germany.
We are proud that the Gorman
settlers landed on American soil on October
6, 1GS3. and had the dash and
courage to open up an untrodden wllilfirnoRx

All parties ought to help us in making
our German Day celebration the great
success it deserves to be."
