wards in Full.

The sun rote this morning on one of the pleasantest days of the summer sea- an immense gathering of people son, a pleasant breeze blew from the south-west all day, and tempered the extreme heat of the sun, making it quite comfortable to be out, and the sky was filled with lazy-moving fleecy clouds, that intervened their refreshing shade in convenient intervals, very gratefully appreciated by all.

The day was one of much interest to our citizens, and to a great crewd of visitors from abroad.

It was the occasion of the celebration of the Fiity-ninth anniversary of the origin of Masonry in Terre Haute, and the brethren of tnis city determined it should be remembered in a manner fitting to the dignity of the grand old order of masonry.

They are very numerous, and include the pride and main strength of Terre Haute, and of that class who know no such work as fail. A class who are certain to make a »ucces« of anything they undertake, and the grand celebration of to-day is an evidence of proof of this assertion. For weeks past the^ have been making great preparations for this event, and with an unstinted hand haye had all the various details arranged for the comfort, pleasure and instruction of all. The fact 'of this city being the residence of the M. W. Grand Master of the state cf Indiana. Dr. Robert Van Valzah gave a stronger incentive that the day should be a success. It is seldom the Masonic order give a public display, but when they do, it is one that counts. One of the best evidences of the high respect and good esteem entertained for them by our citiizens was to be seen and best comprehended by taking a walk along our streets and observeing the

DECORATIONS.** V|

The first and most striking feature the decorative display wrs a grand triple arch built completely across Main street on the weft side of the Sixth street crossing. This was made as a grand center arch, a complete half circle 30 feet wide and high, all profusely triirmed with evergreens and surmounted with a Masonic emblematic key stone. On each side of the center, arch was one ot about 15 feet in width and x8 feet in height square across the top. The whole was heavily trimmed with evergreens, flowers, flags, emblems &c.K and formed at verylnlen&tingfftature of the day and reflcted much credit upon its designer and constructors Rogers and Dean. In front of the Opera House is also another arch smaller, and standing fronting the Opera House, this it also very prettv, loaded with evergreens, flowers emblems, and through its centre is crossed three streamers ot red white and blue.

This is also by Dan Dean, The decoration of business fronts' is

svery

general and liberal display and in many cases of much beauty. The May Bro's. have a beautiful emblematic display and very extensive decorations in evergreens.

The Cincinnati House is decorated very artistically and liberally. Mrs. Humaston and Wilson Naylor had their united stote fronts attract ively trimmed, A. Herz has a beautiful ly arranged emblematic window and the front of his popular store is very tastefull) decorated. It is one of the most attractive on the street,

Foster Bros.' store presented a gay and tasteful appearance, profusely trim med in their usual liberal style.

Phil Schloss' clothing store is abundantly

trimmed,

and is very pretty. Here

.is one oi the handsomest pieces of ornamental work seen. His is the usual Ma4

sonic square and compass, of large size all made in red and white flowers, very Ibeautiful, and deserving much credit for the labor and taste displyed.

The store of B. Ehrlich is also attractively trimmed, and as usual Louis BaJgauz gives a pleasing evidence of his skill and taste by one of the most beautiful displays of the day. "yjvi Regan & Best makes a vety fine dis ,"%jDlay. j' Hulman & Cox have their great es tablishment beautifuly trimmed.

Arbuckles extensive dry-goods house was trimmed exceedingly attractive, one of the fiye best of all.

Julius Blumenberg's saloon is very nicely trimmed with evergreen wreaths, emblems, banners, &c, quite attractive and tasteful.

i*p,.g,'ii^Lj,i 1.1

beautifully made Masonic emblems. It is a fine display. the McKeen attractive.

All the above business houses are handsomely trimmed, displacing much taste and labor, and deserve an extended notice, which lack of space prevents the GAZETTE I'romjgiving but they all have done nicely.

Flags float from all public buildin gs, and the streets present a gay, fluttering appearance with thousands of,, flas and streamers.

At one o'clock the grand and most beautiful attraction of the great' street arch was hung in place. It was an immense square and compass and letter "G" all made of flowers, the beautiful and skilled workmanship of Heinl Bros., our florists. The flowers were in several colors, and showed to lovely rdvantage

THE ADDRESS.

Ladies, gentlemen, and brethren: We have met here to-day to celebrate the fifty-ninth anniversary ot Masonry in Vigo County. Fifty-nine years ago today, Terre Haute Lodge No. 19 was constituted, and from her seven good, strong, healthy children have been born.

This indeed makes the visit here today an historical event in Vigo Cotfnty. To you, my strange brethren, (What? Did I say strange brethren? We are not strangers, for we have the signs, the words, and the grips, whereby

then, my visiting brethren, I extend a welcome, a hearty welcome, thrice a welcome to our city and temple. The first lesson which we are taught in Masonry, is that we should never enter upon any important undertaking without first invoking aid of the Divine Deity. You will therefore give attention to the grand chaplain who will now invok a blessing.

Key. Stimpson then 4ed in prayer. The opening ode, "Hail Brothers," written by Judge Thos. B. Long, the talented poet jurist, was rendered by the Terre Haute Oratorio society and a full orchestra of the Ringgold band air Hail to the Chief.

From the moment that Prof. Anton, Shide tapped attention with hi9 baton until the singers bowed themselves away the audience was filled with delight.

The words of this beautiful ode will be found on the inside page of this issue. Col. W. K. Edwards delivered an historical address, published entire in another columa.

After music by the band, Rev. Dr. Austin was introduced. He delivered an eloquent oration on "The Universality, Harmony, and Charity of Masonry."

This oration, the GAZETTE also prints, entire, elsewhere. It is worth careful perusal by everybody.

After a musical selection by the b.:nd the chaplain closed the meeting vtitha benediction.

HAIL, BROTHERS

OPENING ODE FOR THE FIFTY-NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF MASONRY IN VIGO COUNTY, JULY I2TH, 187S.

Air—"Hail t« the Chief." 1 ». J3y Judge T. Long,

Hail, brothers, ball I Though the years are advancing, Time has no changes for us in his flight, Thtbo, like the stars in Uie coustaut sky glancing,

Pass into ceutuiks glowing and bright. Brotherly Love prevails, Kindly Relief avails, While over all is the sunlight of Truth

On life's broad sea our sails Swell with propitious gales, Bearing us on in perenuiul youth.

II.

hi.,

What tnougti uy tnousands our years may be numbered, What though some brothers grow gray In our oauoe. Even thongh death with his sleep has encumbered

Loved ones and lost by immataole laws, Youth fills each vacant place, Time, with its chast'uing grace, v" Softens the grief and the sorrow we feel

While still through time and space, Marching with endl ss pace, Sweep our grand truths in humanity's weal.

When o'er the land the wild war notes are pealing, Wh«n on the field lay the dying and slain, There comes our brotherhood, rescuing, healing,

Binding ih wounds and allaying the pain. 'Mid the loud cannon'* roar, Crashing from shore to shore. In the sharp hail sweeping over the fiHa,

Kind hands the faint restore, Sad hearts the dead doplore, vq And over all cast humanity'^ shjlpUl, «T When the fierce elements strike w.thout warning,

Ocean and fire and the demon of storm, Filling the land with lament and with mourning,

Silencing hearts once so noble and warm Therv, ere the strife be staid, Comes our consoling aid, Hard by the tempest, the wreck and the flames, vr

Leaving so act delayed, No debt of love unpaid, Tolling in Mercy's and charity's names.

80,

in the gloom and the darkness of sorrow, Wnen o'er the land comes the shadow 01 death,— When the dread pestilence falls on the mor-

Blasting the strong with its withering breath, ,, Swift 0 the dreadful place, 4 t--5U

Hushed but with eager pace, Hasten the brothers with comfort and care,— Over each painful face

Bending with love and grace, Watching with hope and awaiting with .grayer* r?, 1 VI. I 1 But all of life is not shrouded with sadness

Scenes like the present come often to view, When the true craftsmen, with.greetlng and gladness,

Meet ev'ry token and pledge to renew. Then let the joyful throng A.11 the bright hours prolong, Filling their treasure with mystical lore

Music be borne along, Voices be raised in song, Till we are called to our labors once more.

VII. ft tj»ii to eA&tcn

Hail, then,to Masonry!—ever renewing All its gray years with the fresteaessof youth 8t 11 in its course all the virtues pursuing,

Jfledging is vows on the altar of truth: KiLdly relief avails, Brotherly love prevails, is*- 't»is Far as its glorious legious have tred

Proof »gainst passion's gales, Firm though the world assails, Built on the «v ord and the worship of God.

*'E COL. W. K. EDWARDS'", address, which was listened to with so marked attention, is appended in full, below. It is a valuable document, which every Mason should file away with his private archives. «Vf4, a!

He said: "M. W. Grand Master: .. .•. Terre Haute Lodge No. 19 was the second lodge established, by authority of the Grand Lodge of Indiana.

On the 3td of December, 1817, a general convention of the representatives of the several subordinate lodges of the honorable fraternity of free and accepted Ancient York Masons, in this State, assembled at Corydon and determined that it was expedient and advisable that a Grand Lodge should be farmed, in the State of Indiana.

There were nine subordinate lodges, seven with charters, anc two under dispensations.

Their locations are at parts of the State first settled, in order of seniority, as follows:

Vincennes,—'Madiswu, —Charlestown, Brookeville—Salem, —Lawrenceburgh, Corydon, Vevay, Rising Sun.

Eight of these subordinate lodges were under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, and Vincennes Lodge was the fifteenth in number in that jurisdiction and number one in this. The lodge at Brookville was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Ohio.

The convention ot December 3, 1817, having provided for the appointment of delegates by the several subordinate lodges, to carry into effect their determination, met the nth of January, 1818, at Madison, and opened a Grand Lodge for the state of Indiana.

The Parent Grand Lodges were first informed of that purpose by an appropriate address. ...

The illustrations of Maionfy by Thos. ted by the Grand

John Tmton, a distinguished citizen, wa« then Grand Master, and issued the following authority to install said officers:

Corydon, Dec. 7, 1820.

DEAR Snt I have encioaed to P. Allen, Master of Terre Haute Lodge, the dispensation if convenient I hope you will go on and congregate, constitute and install the officers immediately.

Your obedient servant,

iw I JOHN TIPTON. Grand Master of Indiana^ E. StOUt. fkit Pursuant to said authority Elihu Stout, with Henry Ruble, of Vincennes, installed said officers, at a meeting, the record of which is the {land writing of Col. T, H. Blake, showing, the persons named, with Josephus Collett to have been present.

At the annual communication *of the the Grand Lodge of Indiana, begun and herd at Corvdon on Monday, Jioth of September 1821, a copy of the proceedings and workings of Terre llaute Lodge U. D., was presented and referred to the Committee on Dispensations.

That committee in their report, state that they find the. work thereof corre t, and are well satisfied with the Masonic ability of the brethern of said Lodge. Thereupon, to wit on the 13th day of September, 1621, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That a charter issue to Terre Haute Lodge, which shall hereafter be known as Tetre Haute Lodge No, 19, that Demas Deming be the fiist Master thereof, Curtis Gilbert the first Senior Warden, and Rober^ Sturgus, the first Junior Warden."

On the same day a resolution, was adopted, authorizing the Grand Secretary to charge dues for membership to the members of Terre Haute Lodge, on ly for one year, while said lodge was working under dispensation.

In 1819. Terre Haute Lodge w£S the 11 tii in the list of Subordinate Lodges— in 1820, the 15th and in 1821, when chartered was the 19th.-—'The reason was that lodges with junior dispensations, obtained senior charters, and thereby a higher number.

On the 23rd of Januarv, 1S20, .Hiram A. Hunter, a district visitor, was received by the Lodge. He gave the Ledge instructions, and made the report to the Grand Lodge at its November communication of 1829 in these word*: "January 23: I met Terre Haute Lodge, No. 19, at 'ferre Haute, and was much pleased, both with their manner of working and keeping their records. The number of members is nineteen the amount due the Lodge, $7.00 the amount in the treasury is $16.50. I received from them, for my services as District Master, the sum of $9.50. The prospects for future prosperity in Masonry are very good." 1 he records of the Grand Lodge BIIOWS that the lodge was only represented, at the following communication
