The STORM. The first really hard snow

TaE STORM first really hard snow
st,rm of the winter came yesterday, beginning
about noon in quiet downfall of large moist
fakes, which fell softly to the ground undis-
turbed b'v the wind. Towards night the storm
grew more furious and the wind increased
from the nor th-east, driving the snow and pill
ing it up iu drifts and sitting through every
ere rice where it could find way, pelting the
pedestrian piteously, dashing off his hat and
filling his face, ears and neck with the un-
pleasant moisture. Fortunately the temper
ture of the air was moderate, else the nigh
would have been terrific. The train from Bos
ton was about two and half hours late, ant
we received no papers by mail All the wires o
the Western Union line bat one were down, ant
that, the wire connecting with the cable, wa
insufficient for the demands of business. How
much snow has fallen at this hour midnight
we cannot tell, on account of the unevennes
with which it is spread. The indications arr
that travel to-day on the railroads will be un

THE lower branch of the Missouri Legsla-
ture made a great practical step in interest of
woman's rights the other day when it amended
the bill to regulate the compensation of teach
ers so as to give females the same pay as males
when equally qualified and performing like
duties. And why not? This is a matter of
woman's rights upon which a great deal Of
reform is needed throughout the country; and
the asitators of women's rights may more
proftably employ their time upon it than in
talking women about suffrage. 1t is the foun-
dation stone of the desired structure.

HISTORY OF HARMONY LoDGE.-Such is the
title Of pamphlet we have just received, pub
lished by request Of the Lodge, compiled by
Mr.. Daniel G. Emery, and neatly printed by
Stephen Berry.
The pamphlet gives highly interesting ac-
count of the attempt to secure charter from
the Grand Lodge OF Maine, which was success
full in 1922, and on the LIST day of February OF
that year the first regular meeting of the Lodge
in Gorham was held, at the house of Brother
Daniel Hunt. The charter was signed by 81
mon Greeuleaf, G. NJ, Charles Fox, S. G. W.,
Josiah Mitchell, J. G. W., and William Swan,
g. S. At the first meeting Stephen Foster OF
Portland officiated as Master. A highly en-
Pertaining account of the Morgan excitement
Is inciaded in the pamphlet, also a list of all
the officers of the Lodge since its formation to
date, besides full neurology and Roll OF
Honor
The first-person made a Mason in Gorham
was Jonah Dyer, senior, who received degrees
in London, England, in 1862 one hundred
years ago.
The pamphlet is sent postpaid for 40 cents.

The trouble in San Domingo grows bigger
and bigger Baez has found himself obliged
to Danish forty-fve citizens because they pro.
tested against the lease of SANTANA Bay to the
United States. The revolutionists fighting
Baez's government are growing more and more
powerful, and have now large army march
ing after him. 1t is also reported that the new
revolutionary government of the Republic of
Hayti has made formal offers of assistance to
the enemies OF Baez. This is not favorable to
Baez's chances of permanency. 1t looks as if
he is likely to be ousted at any moment. In
such case what is our title to SANTANA Bay
worth? OF itself it is not worth the price paid
for it; its only value is in the advantage it
gives us toward acquiring the whole island
If three quarters of the people on the island
are our enemies and are to be kept in state
of subjugation, we have paid too dear for the
