Why Pay Rent.

The Granite State Provident Associa-
ton, has loaned out In this city to this
date, over three times as much money as
has been paid by its share holders. Every
loan that has been applied for has been
made. There has been large increase
in the business during the month just
past, and there was added TO the assets
of the association over So, 900 in twenty
eight days. This shows that the plan and
the manner the Association is conduct.
ing its business is meeting with popular
favor thought the country. Although Il
has been very dull for the past month, /
have added large number of shares to
those already subscribed, OF good sub
stantial citizens, showing that the Asso-
citation is also growing In favor in this
city, as the increase in its business viii

Wood stsws.

Wood in certain forms is a constant
article of diet on the Lena River and
around Yakutsk. North of Verchoy-
ansk, except in sheltered valleys, there is
no wood but the larch, and the natives
eat it because they like it. Even when
fish are plenty it forms part of the even
ing meal, as the cleanly stripped logs
near every hut testify. The people know
that the fact of their eating wood arouses
the sympathy Of strangers and shrewdly
use it to excite pity and obtain gifts.
They scrape off the layers under the bark
Of log, and chopping it fine mix IL with
snow and boil it. Sometimes il is mixed
with fish roe or milk. William Scheutze
says he has often seen it eaten without
anything additional, even when there
was other food on hand.

GREAT DAY FOR MASONS.

Laying of the Corner Stone of Their Tenn
pie in Utica.
The ceremonies Of laying the corner
stone Of the Masonic Temple in Utica,
n. Y, on the Dist, were the occasion of
one of the largest gatherings of the Ma
sonic fraternity ever seen in the state.
Trains on every road in the state have
been taxed to their utmost TO carry the
thousands of craftsmen on their way to
Utica to take part in the event. TWEEN
ty Communicates of Knights Templar
were represented under the command
of Right Eminent Sir George MCGOWAN,
grand commander of the state.
The parade was under command OF
Col E. NJ. l.. Ehlers, grand secretary of
the grand lodge, who acted as marshal.
One of the prominent features of the
parade was the appearance of st. Johns
Lodge, No. /, of New York City, which
is the oldest Masonic lodge in the state,
and. with one exception, the Oldest
lodge in America 1t was chartered in
December, 10Y, and possesses the old
Bible on which Washington took the
oath of Office as the first president Of
the United States.
The ceremonies OF laying the corner
stone were conducted by Past Worship
lul JODu w. NfOOul, .Illo SfduU uldSloT
of the state, assisted by his associate
grand officers, in the presence of large
audience. The Grafton was delivered
by Past Grand Master Workman Frank
r. Lawrence. The address was de-
voted largely to the history of
the order in New York. He was
followed by Chauncey NJ. Depew, who
delivered an eloquent address. He re-
ferred to the occasion by saying: ITO
day we celebrate the beginning of the
practical application of the benevolent
spirit which has been the dream of the
state for a hundred years.
The house, when complete. will be a
magnificent structure. 1t stands in the
center of beautiful park containing 160
acres The cost of the edifce, including
the ground, will be about $250,000, all
Of which has been raised by voluntary
subscriptions among the Masons of the
state. In addition to this sum the fra
ternity has paid during the last three
years debt of over 81 100000 on the
Masonic Hall in New York city. The
gathering is in the nature of jubilee
celebration, as the Fraternity now owns
property in the state valued at S. ,000,-

WON + GREAT VICTORY.
The Belgian Strikers Secure Promise OF
Suffrage.

The Belgian Strikers Secure Promise of
Suffrage.
The working classes of Belgium have
won a signal victory in compelling the
central section of the Chamber of Rep
resentatives to declare in favor of a re-
vision of the constitution. The great
strike started in the early part Of the
month was unprecedented in it's motive,
which had nothing to do directly with
wages or hours, but was intended
as the only protest that the dis
franchlsed workingmen could make
against the denial of the suffrage. They
determined that if they could not vote
they would not work and that the con-
stitution must be revised in the interest
of liberal suffrage. The Peuple, organ
of the workingmen, called on the min
istry to make a frank declaration re-
garding the revision of the constitution,
which the workingmen believed to be
destined to oblivion by calculated de-
laws.
The strike spread throughout the four
great coal basins of Belgium, one after
another the various industries fell into
line with the movement, and trade and
commerce were threatened with paraly-
sis. The leading mine owners and
metallurgists became alarmed. They
exposed to the King the immense injury
already done and the greater injury
threatened to Belgium industry by the
delay in voting for revision. The
traders of Seraing petitioned the cham
bers in the same sense. The widest
rumors got afioat and almost caused a
panic. 1t was said and even published
that German troops would enter Bel
GUM TO establish order. This report
aroused patriotic indignation, but did
not put an end to the strike. Numer-
Gus arrests were made with a view to
coercing the strikers, but the men re-
manned firm, and at length the majority
of the chamber formally signified their
willingness to support the proposed re-
vision and aid in etfecting q substantial
reform. On the 2lst the strike ended.
and the Belgian workingmen are every
where iubllant over their victory.
