THE PFU8L RE[CEPTION.Supreme Lodge Representatives

Formally Weloomed to theCity and State.

Gov. Toole Unavoidably Absent,but Be Bends a Letter of

Regret.

Addresses by Mayer aOurtl and Jae. W.Mddy-Response, by the Visitors-

Beautitll Souvenirs.

There was not a vaeean seat In the gal.lery of the auditorium, nor on the floor,when the hour for the reception to the A.O. U. W, supreme lodge arrived yesterdaymorning. The gallery was asigned to thegeneral public, the main floor being re-served for the supreme lodge representa-tives and the members of the order. Forover an hour before the reception began asteady stream .poured into the building.The ushers took care that the women werecomfortably and advantageously seated.The interior of the building presented ananimated scene. The neat decorations ofthe hall and the fluttering ribbons and va-ried dresses of the women, harmonized well,and the myriads of colors blended intorainbow hues under the softened lightwhich filled the room. In that part of thehall nearest the stage the supreme lodgepeople sat at their desks or moved about inconversation, while in the rear the mem-bers of the order filled up the seats as-signed them.

Many of the ladies of the reception com-mittee had seats on the lower floor, as didseveral prominent officials of the city, thestate and the federal government. On thestage was Mayor Curtin, John W. Eddy,Col. James B•llivan. 0. P. Connolly andSupreme Master Workman Kinsley andother supreme lodge representatives. Aband of music played appropriate airswhile the audience was assembling and be-tween the addresses. The Silver Creeklodge, of Maryeville, came in 200 strong,with a band of music and a special train,not having been notified of the abandon-ment of the parade. They were much dis-appointed when they heard of it, but tookpart in the reception, occupying seats onthe main floor. They afterwards paradedand their band also gave an open air con -cert on Main street, which was thoroughlyappreciated.

THE FORMAL RECEPTION.

Gov. Toole, Mayor Curtin and OthersWelcome the Visitors.

Supreme Master Workman J. W. Kinsleyopened the exercises attending the recep-tion by explaining that Gov. Toole was un-avoidably absent, owing to a previous en-gagement that called for his presence atDeer Lodge. In his absence C. P. Connollywould read a letter from him. Mr. Con-nolly advanced to the platform and read asfollows:

E•EOUTrVE OFFICE,HELENA, Mont., June 15. 1892.

To the Officers and Members of the Sn-preme Lodge of the Ancient Order of UnitedWorkmen:

An engagement in the city of Deer Lodge, Imade before a change was announced inyour programme, will prevent me from per-sonally tendering to your organization thewelcome of the state of Montana. I, how-ever, take this method of welcoming you,and with it I promise the genuine hospital-ity and open-handed co diality of ourpeople.

We acknowledge the compliment which asession of your supreme lodge implies, andregret as much as you can the work of the

elements, which has detracted somewhatfrom your plans and purposes. We hope,however, that the delay which has beenoccasioned, and the inconvenience whichyou have suffered, will be smoothed overand counter-balanced by the friendshipsyou will make, and the sights you will seein this mountain country.

If our people ever had any doubt aeoutthe consummate judgment and clear fore-sight of the men comprising the anssociationof the Ancient Order United Workmen, twoevents have recently transpired to removethe uncertainty, and commend them to the iconsiderate attention and. kind rogad ofoar people. The first event to which I a:-lude was the election of our distingnishedfellow citizen (Mtj. Kineloy) ias suprememaster of the order, and the second was thevote by which you determined to hold thisconvention in the bonanza state, andQusen City of the lRocky mountains.

We are not three years old as a state, andyet the railway, telegraph and postal sys-tems have crowded out primitive methods,progress has spread population over our -vast sorface, and steam anti electricity areconneot as closely rn within one common hiicity. We are in the midst of a gigantic ifsyetem of irrigation, which will redeem the nogreat body of atid land within our borders, strmaking our crops independent of rainfall, siand absolutely certain. \Ve are in a flood anof scientific progresnsion in anl that per- fultanus to the extraction and reduction of wegold, silver and copper ores. We are pro- colducing cattle, sheep and horses upon the fri

native grasses of our foothills which are thesecond to none in the coulty. We areturning our cattle into beef, our mines into wi

ion which a series of sapreme lodges, con- wernlons. eneampments and oongraese will thfIord us. ofWe trast that you will find time to visit letur various cities, and wiltnes the marvel-sig

generous reception by the people at large.The whole state, and every muniepolaity

in it ought to stimulate the owth androepbritof every well-founded organiza.

and common interest in every well-organ-ized and substantial venture, which, uponits termination, leaves somee person in thecommunit provided against want and des-ttion. fo this extent the state. andevery mounicipality in it, has a dirlet interest in the honest and economical manage-ment of your, and similar assoolations,and their consequent growth and pros-perity within our limit.e It Ia believedthat there are few men in this state whoconuld not, without serious embarrasement,provide against the contingencies I havementioned. An intelligent observance ofthe duties of citizenship requires prepara-tion for time as well as eternity. The manwho stops to think, surveye the futn.e andmaps out the ways before him, seldomfails, uoch a man will seldom let a policylapse, leave a wife in want, or those de-pendent upon him, in distress.

When every citizen can provide hit fam-ily against the accidents and misfortunesof life, which a policy for reven $2,000 willremedy or repair, public burdens will di-minish, poor houses will decrease, and tax-ation will he lessened.

I renew the welcome already extended,and wish for you the largest measuoe ofsuccess in your deliberations, as well as thegreatest amount of pleasure which sech avisit can afford. I have the honor to be,

MR. SHIELD'S RESPONsa.

The Greetino of Montana Regarded as thOutpouring of Generous Hearts.

Supreme Overseer Shields responded tMayor Curtin's address. Mr. Shields hassevere cold and labored under difeoultiesbut nevertheless premented some interes(Ing facts about the A. O. U. W. He satthe duty of making this reeponse had beesascigned to a very eloquent and worth:gentleman from the hub of the unversewho unfortunately for the audience anhimself had been lured by the siren smileof Great Falls and had taken up an abodein that city, neglecting fair Helena. Fothat reason the speaker had been assignedto fill his task. 'I will cay in beh'ilf of thesupreme lodge and for those present on thi,occasion, that we cannot bat feel that thehospitality extended to this order is theoutpouring of generous hearts, and show;the freling which should prevail thronhb-out the universe. I will call your attentionto the feet that this supreme body, while itis not large in numbere, represen t sonme thir-ty-five states, territories and provinces, andrepresentsover 28,000men banded togetherfor the protection of their families. Thisnoble work has been entiruted to the careof this supreme lodge, and we are on thisoccasion transacting that hbsinese for t ebenefit of the order. In 186• the membec-

members. In 1891 the membership of theorder was 276,152, and in 1871 there waspaid to beneficiaries $344.67. In 1891 therewas paid to beneficiaries $5,307,588.84. Youwill see by this the progress the grand or-der has made. You will see that we aredislbusing to the widows and orphans $5,-500,000 each year within the confines of thieUnited States and British Ame ica. In1892, on Jan. 1, there were 4,278 lodges;there was an increase in the year 1891 of227 lodges. The amount paid in deathlosses since the organization to Jan. 1,1892,$38.555,928.29. I will submit to you thateven in this bonanza state that $38,000,000expended in behalf of the widowsandorph-ans is a showing that we can well be troud of.

We are assembled in your beautiful cityafter unavoidable delays. I do not knowwhether it was due to accident or design,for our supreme body has been divided.Some of the lodge members are being en-tertained by the smiles of the sirens atMissoula and some are at Great Falls.Whe ever we find ourselves we are treatedas brothers. It is not because we areamong you clothed in purple; that is notrequired. We reiognize this greeting asthe outpouring of generous hearts as Iargeas your mountain peaks. We wish to thankthe good people of your city. We want tothank the press of your city and for thebeautiful and life-like illustrations thatadorn their columns. I am sorry that youh ire been disappointed in not having thepleasure of listening to the magnetic voiceof the eloquent gentleman who receivednotice neally a year ago to prepare a speechthat has been echoed and re-echoed amidthe grand canyon of the Missouri andGreat Falls that should be showered on youto-day.

TO THE GItAND LODGE.

J. G. late, of Nebraskn, Responds to theMontano Poet of tlle Order

T. G. Tate, of Nebraska, then spoke asfollows: Grand Mlaster Workman, MeLm-bers of the Supreme Lodge and VisitingBrethren: The pleasant task of respondingto the address of welcome offered by the

.tUPlltirE TRUSTIEE J. 0. TATI, OF NEBRAtiKA.

grand lodge of Montana, through its uranduaster workman, has been assigned to mie.I accept the task assigned with mingledfeelings of pleasute antd misgiving; pleas-ure, because I am always glad to represent

as best I can, the interests of our belovedorder; misgivings, because I realize thathere are others in the supreme lodge whoould have perfornted this iiosannt duty

much more etlliently than myself.

On behalf of the supreme lodge let mexpress to you. and through you, to themembers of this grand jurisdiction, our ap-preeiation of these kindly words so elu-

quently spoken. The name and fame of

is. your hospitality is a household word in th

nation; ft is as broad as your state, as loft;as your mountains, and as rich and fertilas your productive valleys.

A we!come from the state of Montanmay well make the hearts of its recipientII, o'erflow with anticipations of pleasure am

delight. Your state is an empire in itsel- with almost inexhastible resources in atl

the useful and precious metals. It is thvery heart of the hill country and sits as icrown of glory on the surrounding moontain regions. Through your valleys anmover your mountains goes the commerciaagencies of this great land, oarrying to ancfro the commodities of the nation; beneatithese lofty mountain peaks are the preeiouimineral deposits which have been aceumulating through the countless ages of thpast, while at the foot of these lofty hillsare valleys of well nigh inexhaustible fortility: eternal snow gleams on the moantain tops, while sweet scented flowers amwaving fields of green smile in the valleyibelow. Nature has been profuse in he;gifts to this vast empire.

We gather to-day to hold a session of thissupreme lodge in the capital of Montanathe richest city of its size in the world: ifew miles away, at the summit of Granitemountain, is the greatest silver mine itthe world; a few miles in another directiotthere smokes, and pife, and thunders, thegreatest smelting plant in the world; a fesmiles in another direction and we find thegreatest mflning camp in the world and thegreatest copper mine in the world.

Over your mountain tops and throughid your valleys blow the breezes that ministetto perfect health; bhee it i, sail, is the beesclimate In the world; but this supremclodge comes to your state not especially t,look into your mining resourees, nor to in-1s vest in your real estate, nor seeking the re.

cuperation of health. We corne as the rep--resentatives of the loftiest cha'ity, in atorganized form, the world beehas ever knownwe come to you the representative of 2)0,00(members in good standing; we come to yothe representatives of an order that hardispersed to the families of its deceasedmembers almost $:29000,000; we come toyou the representatives of an army of men,whose chief object is to make provision forthe homes of its members, against the daywhen the husband and father shall be foundno more in his aceaetoned place.

We gather here to consider and plan andlegislate for the better equipment of thismighty army, for the work in which we areengaged. We represent a principle, orprinciples which, if carried out to theirlegitimate conclusions, are a better defenseto the flag and the nation, than our stand-inq armies or floating navies.

We come to you the representatives of anarmy whose purpose is the conquest of theworld. In this warfare our weapons areare not the keen edged sword, the destruc-tive rifle, or the murderous cannon; ourweapons are not cold-blooded reason, norare they merely the faculties of the mind;the weapons of our warfare are heart weap-one; we seek to win the world by the con-quering rower of human affections.

We trust that our stay in your midst mayconduce to a strengthening of these princi-ples, in the hearts of our brethren in thisstate, and that when we leave we shall leavebehind us an inspilation for nobler serviceand grander work.

It is our sincere hope that the words ofwelcome so kindly spoken, and the hospi-tality so lavishly bestowed may be likebread cast upon the waters, or seed sown ingood ground, bringing back to you andyours a hundred fold. As the years of liferoll by, may the memory of this session beas the memory of the oasis in the desert, oras words kindly spoken in sorrow's darkeathour, and when the shadows of life's even-ing begin to gather, and the light of day,for as, shall go out, may the scenes of thesecoming days, and the memory of thesehoo s spent together, shine upon our even-ing tide like the soft and mellow lightwhich illumines your valleys and gilds yoarmountain tops with glory.

Many of the suprecmelodge officers have b.en held at Missouliandi G(reat Falls, which has also interferedwith our arraegements. I think perhapsno better illustration can be given ofthe eagerness of the Montana brethrento be ser. than to call your attentionto the representation from the neirhboringtown of Marvsyille, a band of Workmenestventy-thco strong.
