itte Seventieth Anniversary.
The members of the two lodges of
Odd Fellows in this city, Cape Fear
No. 2 ami Orion No. 67, with their
invited guests celebrated at Concor
dia Hall last night the 70th anniver
sary of the introduction of the order
into America. An excellent pro-
gramme had
been prepared. The
opened with a
i
ceremonies
were
voluntary by the choir, consisting
of Messrs. C. H. Robinson, W. P.
Toomer, W. N. Jacobs, E. P. Boat
wright, John E. Grant, U. M. Rob
inson, J. W. Fleet, Brook French
and H. K. H olden. This was follow
ed by prayer by the" Chaplain, M.
C. Walton, and then Secretary Mc
Gowan read the proclamation of the
Grand Sire. There was more music
by the choir and then Rev. F. W. E.
Peschau, the orator of the occasion,
was presented by Mr. John D. Bel
lamy, Jr.
Mr. Peschau's address has been
pronounced one of the ablest he has
ever delivered in this city. It was
both historical and rethoricaL
presenting a very interesting sums
mary ot facts and figures and depict
yag in most eloquent language the
great benefits which the order has
conferred'and still confersjupon man
kind. His address was divided into
four parts the principles of the
Organization, the origin, the pre -'sent
membership, and the benevo
lence and influence of the order. He
began his address by saying that
there was good luck in odd num
bers, and developed the fact that
the good and right always seem to
be odd. He spoke of the great
amount of money the order had
raised for the amelioration of the
human race; this sum aggregating
over fifty millions up to 1886; ami he
also related many touching inci
dents which happened in connec
tion with the order. Mr. Peschau
also showed that by authentic
records it dated as far back as 1745,
and that its membership was now
one million one hundred and sixty
four thousand eighty-one thousand
more than the Masons and that it
was also the second order in point
of age. He then illustrated the
many practical acts of benevolence
and the great influence the order
exercised.
At the conclusion of the address
Mr. W. M. Hays invited the audience
to partake of a banquet which had
been prepared in an adjoining room,
and thither all repaired. An elegant
repast was served under the super intendence
of the caterer, Mr. E. P.
Kiley, to which ample justice was
done. At its conclusion the dance
was declared in order and the enjoy
ment was kept up with unabated
zeal until the small hours' of the
morning.
g
Not a Legal Holiday.
It seems to be pretty generally
understood that Tuesday next, the
30th inst., the centennial of the in
auguration of General Washington
as first President of the United
States, has been made a legal holi
day by proclamation of the Presi
dent. This is an error. The resi -
dent doesn't make laws; he merely
sees that they are executed. His
proclamation called upon the people
to assemble at their various places
of worship at 9 o'clock on that day
and render thanks to Almighty God
for His blessings to us as a people in
times past and to implore a? con
tinuance of the Divine favor for the
future. .
The Dance Last Night.

The young folks Mad a most de

the weather was just cool enough
to make dancing enjoyable. The
Soiree came first and at half-past 9
o'clock the German was began and
continued until shortly after mid
night. It was a very delightfu1
affair to all who attended.
