THJU St'KAiSTOtf TIUBUNK-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 0, 1899. Ill THE GRAND ARMY OF THEjtEPUBLIC ORIGIN, GROWTH AND HISTORY OF 0IVOANI2ATI0N. Tho derm of the Society Thnt Final ly Spread Over the Continent The Principles of the Order The Na tional Encampments, the Commanders-in-Chief and the Member ship of tho Remarkable Society. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The Idea of oiKunlzlntf every ele ment of tliu army which had united to save the union Into one Brand or ganization, with tho olllcers and men on equal footing, all governed by tho same rules and regulations, is credited to Chaplain W. J. Hutledge, of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry. The hon or of Its practical development be longs to Major II. R Stephenson, of tho same regiment. Stephenson and Hut ledge were soldier "partners" that is, tent mates and cronies In the war. It was during the Meridian expedition. Under Sherman, at the beginning of 18G4, that the conception of cementing the friendship of the old soldiers after the war was over by organizing a grand society occurred to the mind of Chaplain Hutledge. It was natural that the Idea should be discussed with his bosom companion, Major Stephen son. Hoth were soon confident of Its feasibility, and both were earnestly In favor of setting the project on foot as soon as the favorable moment arrived. After the war was over and the final parting came. Stephenson and Hut ledge, residents of different quarters of Illinois and somewhat remote from each other, never losing sight of their Idea, corresponded together on the sub ject Meanwhile Dr. Stephenson had already opened up the question and submitted rough notes of n proposed ritual for such an organization to sev eral interested persons In Springfield, III., where the late Chaplain JUltledgo met him In the month of March, 18CG. It was during this conference between the two, and others who had been con sulted and become interested, that the germ of the Grand Armv of the He public as we see It today sprang into consistent form. This preliminary work at Springfield was participate! In by hardly more than a dozen men. Besides the original projectors, Hut ledge and Stephenson, they were aid ed by Colonels Martin Flood, DanIM Grass. Krlward Prince, John M. Snyder, Majors H. M. Woods and Hobert Allen, Captains John S. Phelps, B. F. Smith, Dr. James Hamilton and two or three others. POST NO. 1. Thp ritual for the organization was the work of Major Stephenson nnd Car tain Phelps.The latter had risen from the ranks In the Thirty-second Illinois Infantry. Some secrecy was prt s Tved. and the printing of the ritu al was placed In the hands of Phelps, who took It to another town to the ofileo of the Decatur (III.) Tribune, whose proprietors and all their em ployes were ex-soldiers. While de tainer! at Decatur attending to tills duty Captain Phelps began proselyting Tor tli-. now society, and succeeded In nivuslng among' the old soldleis a great enthusiasm for the scheme. So suc cessful was Pheltis that the Spring field people were outstripped in the gooil work, and the Decatur veterans organized the first post of the Grand Army of the Republic, which was mus tered in on April C, lSGfi, by Dr. Steph enson, who was accomnanied to D"- atur by n number of Interested Springfield friends to take part In the eremonlos. It was called Post No. 1, and was. In fact, the birth of the Grand Army of the Republic. But previously the promoters of the project had gone through the form of organizing the "Department of Illinois" of the Grand Army, though In fact It had no mem bership except the baker's dozen of lo cal soldiers engaged In the preliminary stcjs of the movement. The Decatur pi st was the Ilrst formal, actual step. PRINCIPLES OF TUB ORDKR.

For the establishment and do fence of tho late soldiery of the United States, morally, socially nnd politically, with a view to Inculcate a proper view of their services to the country, nnd to a recognition of such services and claims by tho American people. (The Kncnmpment of 1808 added: "But this association does not design to make nominations for olllce or to use Its In fluence as a secret organization for partisan purposes.") Atterwnrds the Encampment for ISCrt also adopted the following from the constitution of the Loyal Legion: Sixth. The maintenance of true alle giance to the United States of America, based upon paramount respect for and fidelity to the national Constitution and lows, manifested by the discountenanc ing of whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, Incite to Insurrection, treason or rebellion, or In any manner Impairs the efllclency and permanency of our freo Institutions, together with n de fence of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men. In the fall of 1S8C tho members of Springfield d'ost, No. 'J, presented a gold headed cane to Dr. 'Stephenson, bearing this Inscription: "From the sons of the O. A. R. to the father." General Orders, No. 1, Department of Illinois, of date April 6, 1S6(S. 'appointed the following stnff to the Department Commander: Colonel Jules C. Weber, Chief of Staff Major Robert M. Woods, Adjutant General: Colonel John M. Snyder, Quartermaster General; Cap tain John M. LIghtfoot, Assistant Ad jutant General, and Lieutenant John S. Phelps, Alde-de-Cnmp. All hands to gether immediately started in vigor ously to arouse the nttentlon of tho disbanded soldiers of Illinois to the ad vantages of the organization. July 12 was the date fixed for holding a State Convention to formally organize the Department of Illinois, which wns sot on foot by 'a formal call signed by prominent veterans of the war In nil parts of the Commonwealth. GROWTH OF O. A. R. Tho Idea presented by Chaplain Rut ledge nnd formulated by Dr. Stephen son had taken root and was spreading. By tho date of the State Convention thirty-nine posts had been chartered in Illinois, nnd the convention was very largely attended. Tho department of Illinois was firmly established, n com prehensive declaration of principles adopted and a deserved tribute paid to Dr. Stephenson, to whom was mainly due the success of the undertaking. Major General John M. Palmer, after wards governor of Illinois and United States senator, was formally chosen as the first Department Commander, to succeed Stephenson, whose tenure was wholly Informal, and Major General John Cook assistant commander. The good work which began In the Praire State was taken up all over tho country. As early as the fall of 18C8 departments had already been organ ized for tho States of Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and Minnesota. They were many posts in Ohio, Kentucky, Mis souri, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts. Soon every state In the Union which had contri buted troops to put down the rebellion was represented by thriving posts of the G. A. R., nnd most of them were departments. Dr. (Major) Stephenson, though nev er elected by a Grand Encampment, was on sufferance Commander-in-Chief. In October, 1SG6, he issued a call for the first National Kncampment, to meet at Indianapolis November 20, 1SG1. Bach post was 'to le entitled to one representative for every 100 members in excess of a bundled. The committee on credentials reported the following lists of delegates: Illinois, 34; Indlnna, 118; Iowa, 0; Wisconsin, 7: Missouri, 9: Kansas, 1; Kentucky, 3; New York, 1:. Ohio, lu; Pennsylvania, .'!; District of Columbia, 1. Total, 228. At this In dianapolis meeting, which Invigorated the movement and gave national scope, a number of changes were made In the constitution and ritual. The title of the whole was changed to "Rules and Reg ulations." It was resolved that nation al encampments In future were to be composed of one representative at large from each department and one repre sentative for every 1,000 members therein. The chief department officers were to be ex-olilcio members. The principles embodied in the declaration printed above were endorsed In stirring resolutions, nnd the President and oth ers In authority were called upon to provide positions, if available, for maimed soldiers. The G, A. R. was now launched as a national organiza tion. FIRST PHILADELPHIA ENCAMP- MENT. The second Encampment met In Philadelphia, January 15. 18G8. At this Encampment twenty-one departments were represented. In addition to those represented at Indianapolis in lSGfi, there were delegates present from the state departments of all New England -Maine, New Hampshire.

C, led 1y Keruuhubr., as gover nor, and Joshua, as high priest (Ezra, 11:2), In last lesson wo learned of the attempt to rebuild tho temple at Jeru salem, begun two years later, and of the opposition of tho Assytlc-lsraelltes.whlch hindered and discouraged them. As u result tho templo luy In ruins for many years. Work was forbidden by Artax erxes (Ezra, lv:22-2l). In thu year M0 two prophets appeared, Kacharlah nnd Huggal. The former was a revivalist, seeking to awaken the religious zeal of tho people. Ills ministry continued about two years. Vis contemporary was greatly concerned lor the house of God, anxious that it should bo restored nnd that Divine worship should ho again es tablished there, llaggal flourished only a. few months, all In the second year of Darius who hud become favorable to tho Jews (Ezra, vl:l). In four different dls courses, which form tho book before us, hu exhorted his people to build tho tem ple. Our lesson Is his second discourse. THE WORD (Verses 1 nnd 2). lingual declares that the word of the Lord came to him. This Is the usual form by which the prophets announced a Divine com munication (Kcpli., 1:1). Sometimes this approach of Ood was called a burden (.Valium, 1:1), and at other times a vision (Oba., 1:1). These expressions all Indi cate substantially tho sumo thing, that the prophet Is charged with a messago from the Almighty. It Is impossible for us fully to explain how these men of God beenmo convinced that they wero tho appointed benrers of heavenly tid ings, but thfre seemed to bo no doubt on tho subject in their minds or In tho minds of their contemporaries. In this' lnstanco llaggal was directed to speak to tho governor, to the high priest, and to tho great body of the people. Tho commis sion was so broad us to elevate him for tho time being Into unusual Importance, making him tho mouth-piece of God to nil the returned captives, from thoso In high station to thoso of the humblest class. What ho was charged to say Is recorded In the seven verses following, THE HOUSE (erso 3).-Tho first part of tho message called the pcoplo to con template tho condition of tho temple. Some work had been done upon it, tho beginning In building tho walls. These were standing bare and neglected, but they Indicated tho size and character of the structure, as well as Its general plan .when completed. The old men, thoso who had been In Jerusnkm, prior to Its over throw (Ezra. 111:12), and had seen tho house In all of Its primitive glory, were especially urged to consider tho present temple. Of course tho contract between tho two would e ery grebnt. A beautiful cdlflco erected by King Solomon with all the wealth supplied by his Illustrious father (1 Chron., xxlI:G), was In tho mem ory of these venerable men who saw now only rude walls, in the midst of a general desolation. The effect of the comparison Is easily understood. The latter house seemed mean nnd worthless. Good would como out of such reflection. THE PRESENCE (verse 4).-The spec ticut New Jersey, Maryland, Dela ware, Michigan, Tennessee and Louis iana. The Philadelphia Encampment of thirty-one years ago proved the organization, then less than two years old, to be already national in its rami fications. This Encampment abolished the district organizations, which had not taken root to nny considerable ex tent, thus bringing the posts Into di rect connection with the State depart ments. It was after n heated discus sion that the resolution declaring the organization would not make nomina tions for ofllce, etc., quoted above, was adopted. General John A. Logan was elected commnnder-ln-chlef at this En campment.. It was Logan" order of May 5, ISfiS, designating May SO as a day of "strewing with flowers or other wise decorating the graves of comrades who died In defence of their country," which gave origin to what Is known officially as "Decoration Day." The third Encampment was held at Cincinnati, May 12. 1SG9. A change of the rules and regulations here adopted had the effect to reduce the member ship from about 230,000 to less than 23. 000. It was some tlmo before the order recovered from the blow of this 111 ad vised change. The fourth Grand En campment met In Washington, May It, 1870; the fifth at Boston.

THE COMMANDERS-IN-CHIEF. In the thirty-three years of Its ex istence the society of the G. .. . has had twenty-live Commanders-. n Chlef. In Its earlier days there was tho disposition on tint part of the "boys," doubtless engendered by their military discipline, to choose some of their distinguished generals for tho ofllce; and, not only that, but to re. elect them to a second term. General Logan was the only three tenner. Gen erals Burnslde, Devens, Hartranft and John C. lloblnsou each served tun terms. But with the close of General Bnblnsons second term, in 1868, the ten dency 'became more democratic, and no commander-in-chief has slnco been honored with a re-election nor has any lending general of the wnr since hecii chosen to tho ofllce. For the first twelve yenrs of Its existence Generals Hurlbuit, Logan, Burnslde, Devens, Hartranft nnd Hoblnson, lu their order commanded tho organization. Since September 10.

If. nTter sixteen years had passed since the return, this was all that could be shown, who could hope for tho completion of tho task that had been as signed them'.' (Ezra., 1:11). The fatheis, etghty-slx ytars distant from the cupturo of Nebuchadnezzar, probably then at least flvo score years old, wero ready to go tho way of all tho earth, and tho young mrn had less reason than they to bellevo tho undertaking possible, In view of alt tho discouragements. Homo word of comfort must bo spoken and Haggul was appointed to bo tho spokes man. "I am with you," was God's mes. sago through him to the dopressed peo ple. What more did tliey need to know? Tho presenro thut had guided the Israel ites In their wanderings, protected them ngalnst evil, and led them to the land of promise (Ex., 111:14), was with these, the fragment of the nation, gathered In Jerusalem, and on that account leaders and people were bidden to bo strong and to work. THE PHOMISH (verse 5). The presence of God with His people Is always a source of Joy and sticngth. So the He brew children felt In the fiery furnaco (Dan., 111:23). David desired nothing more than to know that God was near (Psalm, xxxvtl!:21). It was this that sustained tho apostles as they went forth to preach tho gospel (Matt., xxvill:20). Hut In this cabo God reminded tho returned Jews that His presenro was oceordlng to prom lso (Ex., xxlx:l3), made at the opening of tho history of these people a thous and years before. It was ono of tho Items In tho covenant or agreement Into which at that time Ho entered when Ho took Israel out of Egypt to mako them His own chosen nation, separate from all other nations. This was a most comfort lng statement. The spirit that had been given to tho prophets and nil the holy men in centuries gone by still lingered. Neh., lx:20). No one, however dark tho outlook, need to suppose that tho cov enant was annulled, or that God had departed. Wherofore "tear not" was tho wholchomo counsel. THE PURPOSE (verses 0 and 7). Why this faithfulness of God to His promise? Why does Ho hold to this company of the posterity of Abraham numbering only a few thousands? (Ezra., ll:G4). What end has Ho In view? Tho purposo is made known by the prophet. Ho Intends through theso restored people to bring In the deslro of all nations. Without ques tion that was the Messiah, the Shlloh whom Jacob foresaw In tho lino of Ju dah (Gen., xllx:10). of whom all tho prophets wroto (Mai., 111:1). Indeed, tho covenant with Abraham had respect to this Wonderful Person (Gen., xvli:"), and all tho institutions established under Moses were lntended'lo educato a people to recelvo Him and prepare tho world for Him. Tho Lord declares that Ills advent Is not for distant In point of time, that tho convulsions which shall occur In the earth, political and relig ious, arc all preparatory and necessary (Ezek., xxl:2"). People ought not to com plain If trouble prepares for the coming of Christ. 1S79 the commanders-in-chief have been as follows: William Earnshaw, Ohio; Louis Wagner, Pennsylvania; George S. Merrill, Massachusetts; Paul Van der Voort, Nebraska; Robert S. Beath, Pennsylvania; John S, Kountz, Ohio: S. S. Burdette, Washington State; Lucius Falrchild, Wisconsin; John P. Ilea, Minnesota; William Warner. Missouri; Itussell A. Alger. Michigan; W. G. Veazey. Vermont; John Palmer, New York; A. G. Welssert, Wisconsin; J. G. H. Adams. Illinois; Thomas O. Lawlor, .Indiana: Ivan N. Walker, Massachusetts; Thaddeus S. Clarkson, Nebraska; John P. S. Gobln, Penn sylvania: James A. Sexton, Illinois; who died before his term expired. It Is a strange fact, however, that hardly a third of the soldiers who par ticipated In the nehelllon on the Union side are or even have been menibt rs of the Society of the G. A. It. In 1897 the number reported on the rolls was 319,436. There was then 7106 posts of the Order. THE SOCIETY OF SUDDEN DEATH Concluded from Page 10. I am willing to second your proposi tion." Mux was about to make some re monstrance, but he felt his foot pressed under the table and, looking around, saw the eyes of Etlenne Duval llxed on his with a warning expression In them. Tho vote was, therefore, unanimous ly agreed to, and the president, taking a few curds from a drawer, again ad dressed the meeting. "My friends," ,sald he, "I hold lu my hand six cards, the number of the members present. Five of these are marked with plain figures 1 to 5, the other Is blank nnd Is the passport of freedom to the lOcky member who shall draw It. I propose that Etienno Duval, one junior mem ber, shall hold the cards. Each mem ber shall draw one and place it face downward upon the table without looking at it, and upon a given signal each shall reverse his card and show whether he has been fortunate enough to win the desired boon or Is still com pelled to drasr on a miserable existence upon this earth." "Agreed!" shouted all. "Hurrnh for the game of death!" Etienno Duval took the cards, shuf fled thenr for a few seconds, nnd then, with a meaning glance at the presi dent, offered him the little packet to draw from. Rudolph took one, nnd In accordance with tho arrangements placed It face downward upon the table The others followed his exam ple and Mux felt a fold shudder con vulse his framo as his fingers touched the pasteboard which might prove his sentence of death. "Now." cried Duvnl, In a loud voice. "Turn up the cards and see what fate has attached to each. As ho spoke lie teversed his card and showed the fig ure :i upon It. the others did the same, and It was with a feeling of Intense relief that Max saw that his bore the number 1. Before, however, ho had time to congratulate himself, a fierce oath from Hudolph called attention to the president, who was sitting gazing nt his card, which was tho fatul blank. "Treachery!" ho gapped, turning fiercely upon Duvnl. "Dog, this is your doing!" "Get nut of this ns quickly as you can,"' whlsporcd the Frenchman in tho oar of Max. "Morbleu, do you not understand me," he added, as tho lat ter hesitated; "the police will be here directly. Max took tho hint and slipped away unpercelved us the tumult In the club- THE TREASURE (verso S). These words must have been full of comfort to those who heard them. Tho put pose for which tho Israelltlsh nation was estab lished should bo realized. God's word Is pledged to this. His own spiritual pres ences gunrnntces It. And yet these pco plo are' poor and weak. They have little with which to conduct any gtoat enter prise, and they are still subject to a heathen king, who may change his policy and course, us his predecessors did. Af ter all It Is not easy for tho faith of man to rest upon God 'alone. It Is natural for all to look for earthly means with which to accomplish great results. This may have been the caso with theso poor disappointed nnd untortnnnto Jews. A God informed them that tho treasuro re further messago therefore was needed, quired lu building temples, In establish ing governments, In successfully conduct ing any worldly business, the gold nnd tho silver, wero Ills. No mutter It His people did not then possess it no matter It they regarded themselves as poor yet at tho proper tlmo this precious met al would be obtained, THE CSLOIIY (verso 9). Now comes tho closing statement of tho prophet's dis course, for which every mind had been prepared by what preceded. The huiibo then in urocess of construction should be more glorious than the former house. Does this mean that tho temple of 55e rubbabel should exceed In splendor nnd costliness that of Solomon? That Is hard ly probable. 1'rldeaux values tho gold with which tho Holy of Holies alone was overlaid at twenty millions of dollars.and the entire building was probably the most expensive as It was the mot beautiful the world has ever seen (I Chron., xx:5), a proper representation of tlio wealtn and grandeur of the cmplro In Its golden period. It must bo that the reference Is to tho fact that Messiah should como into this temple, which was really the same temple in the time of Jesus, only repaired and embellshed by Herod (Mai., 111:1). The senso will be best expressed If the ninth verse Is made to follow tho sev enth. Tho glory of tho house is through tho glory of Messiah. THE TBUTHS.-Mcn do well to re member that God has a purpose In tho affairs of this world. Ho suffers tho largest liberty In human actions, but at times Ho thrusts In His own power to direct the course of events after tho counsels of His own will. Moreover, He has a plnn, conceived In Infinite wisdom and executed by ulmlghty power. Noth ing of all His doing Is hap-hazard, all Is sjstematle and orderly, designed to reach the end which He foresaw In tho begin ning. That end centers la Christ. Tho centuries prior to Him all went forward to His advent. Tho centuries since His time are passing rapidly forward to His universal reign. There have been dark days when men could not seo what God was doing, but afterward all has been mado plain. The duty of all Is to build with bravo hearts nnd strong hands these structures In which shall bo displayed the glory of the Christ. All may be co workers, some In one sphere, some In another, to hasten Ills advent and His benign reign over tho hearts of men. room of the Society of Sudden Death grew louder nnd yet more loud. "Treachery?" exclaimed Hermann; "what do you mean, Rudolph? You have drawn the chance we nil so eag erly desired, and now you complain. Have you turned coward?" 'Nos lmbemus, nos habemus, Nos habemus tumulus," sung Franz, who had been drinking heavyily everlnco the meeting opened. AVhlte with rage, Hudolph darted round the table nnd grasped tho Frenchman by the throat. "You have sold me, you villain." cried he, "but I will have your life."

"Hudolph von Vogelsheimer," said the leader, laying his hnnd upon the president's shoulder, "I arrest you for holding an Illegal meeting and for endeavoring by conspiracy to compass the death of Baron Max von KIrschofon." Resistance was useless, and Hudolph was led away, leaving SI. Duvnl very much tho worse for tho viselike grip of those powerful hands, though they had only been round his neck for a few seconds. The police had long" had their eye upon Hudolph, nnd the discovery of the false will among his papers gaya additional weight to the gravity of the charge against him, which resulted in his being sentenced to a long term of imprisonment. Eel-like, M. Duval slipped through the meshes of the law, being accepted as principal evidence against Von Vogelshlmer, and received tho reward promised by the general.
