DIR. THOMPSON IN ORANGE.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM II. STA

Mr.. EDITOR:-We had our Alliance
picnic at Andrews choolhouse, Orange
county, Sept ID. In spite Of a cloudy,
threatening morning and the ground
wet and muddy, there was a goodly
number of ladies and a large gathering
of the citizens (over 1, 500, 1 reckon to
hear our highly-esteemed State Lee
turer, Bro. Cyrus Thompson.
His statement of the object and pur-
poses of the Alliance and necessity also
were clearly set forth. His defence of
of the Order from all false charges and
reports of it's enemies, was able and
convincing. How any ones conscience
could even let him bring the charge
against the Alliance of being ''par-
tisan" after hearing Bro. Thompson, I
can't see. To refute the report that
the Alliance was dead or even thinking
about dying seemed hardly necessary
in our section when we are growing in
unity, earnestness and numbers.
With his powerful logic, his wonder
full and quick wit, his pointed and
amusing anecdotes he held that large
audience most attentive for nearly q
hours, and then he stopped, not be-
cause he or his audience we're tired,
but he got hungry. (Hope he got
enough to eat off that table, so yards
long, piled up and running over.) 1
expect there was many a one in that
crowd sitting on those hard, damp rail
road stills, forgot all about him or they
themselves having to eat.
After dinner Bro. Thompson gave us
another talk of II hours just as good
as before-he is just chockfull and run
ming over.
Bro. w. F. Stroud gave US a short,
good talk. It was getting late and
some of us were a good ways from
home for Saturday evening.
Bro. Thompson is the right man in
the right place, So conservative, so
charitable, so earnest and sincere in
his appeal to the people to protect
themselves by organizing and working
together for their mutual good. "Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"
Think Bro. Thompson clearly showed
us that we must educate to know
rights and organize to obtain them. I
wish I could give you even a meager
outline of his speech, but I can't. Suf-
fee it to say 1 think it will strengthen
those already strong in the faith of re-
form, build up the weak kneed, if there
be any, and certainly ought to bring
back the backsliders and open the eyes
of the blind. The more l see and hear
and know of this great reform move
ment the more fully am I convinced
!naG 200 u Heavenly Father is caus-
ing all things to work out not ONLY for
his own glory and for the eternal wei
a r OF his own people. but for the EN-
poral welfare OF his poor, downtrodden
and oppressed people.
Yours f~raternally.

A Heroic Little Body.

4 delicate little woman, who has for years supported four persons by giving music lessons, feels her health failing. Her physician tells her that she will soon be blind and may be- come insane as well.
 No one outside the home has heard the statement from her. own lips, and she has taught her family to view the blindness and insanity as remote possibilities. She has others to help while she may, and she will waste no time in self pity, nor will she accept anything that she does not earn. While sight and uncloud ed mind are hers she labors on, now, as she has ever been. the good angel of the household.
 She sees two things demanded ot her-that she do the work of today, trusting God for the morrow; that she maintain a resolved and patient cheerfulness, making no addition to the worlds burden It is not easy for her to suffer and make no sign, but she can bear anything so long as her loved ones do not suffer because of her.

 WHEREAS, It has pleased an all- wise Providence to remove from our midst by the hand of death our be- loved brother, J. Fl. Boyd, a brother whose genial manners and agreeable companionship was held in highest appreciation by his brother Knights and large circle of friends; one who may be said to have won his way to the kind consideration of his brother Knights and associates by the frank and generous impulses, which gushed forth from the grate- ful expression of an honest heart one who was devoted in his friend- ships, firm in his convictions, and strong in his attachments, therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That in the demise of Brother John H. Boyd this Lodge has lost a bright star from it's firma- ment; a loved one from its family circle, and wise man from it's coun- cils. That the territory has lost an honest and upright citizen and his family kind husband and a loving father
 RESOLVED, That we extend to the widow and children of our deceased brother the tender and profound sympathy of the lodge in their darkest hour of trial. and in the spirit of Pythian fidelity try and point out to them the bright and gleaming light that shines beyond the gloom of sorrows night; be Il further
 RESOLVED, That the fo egoing res olution be placed on the journals o this lodge, and that a copy be en grossed and presented to the widow and children of our deceased brother.

One day-it was many years after her marriage-when Jenny Lind was staying with relative of mine not far from Peterborough she attended a service in the cathedral. The dean, who, probably without much critical musical judgment thought the sing ing very perfect. was rash enough to ask Mime. Goldschmidt how she liked his choir. She looked at him with a quiet smile and replied with an emphasis which could not be mis. taken, ''Oh. Mir. Dean, your cathedral is indeed most beautiful FIR. J. Mic Neill in Century.

A Neu Tndustry.

4 new industry is likely to be created in the southwest in the near future through the discovery of a San Antonio, Texas, man, who has been experimenting with the mes quite bean, and has discovered that it is a most valuable substitute for coffee. in fact, equal to the best Java as beverage, says the Globe Silver Belt
 A chemical analysis of the bean revealed that its constituents are much the,same as coffee. The discov- erer also invented and had patented q method for removing the hbrous substance surrounding the bean. It is said to possess a delicious aroma, and while it acts as a stimu- lant in much the same way as coffee, there are no unpleasant effects fol- lowing its use.
 A company with ample capital has been formed to convert the mes quite bean into a marketable pro- duct as a substitute for coffee. It IS believed that the industry is destined to become of considerable imPor- tance.
 The prairies of that portion of Texas. south and west of the Colo rado river are covered with the mes quite tree, growing in its wild state. fhe tree is also indigenous to New Mexico, Arizona and the greater part of Mexico. It thriyes in dry climate, and gives it's great yield ot beans during seasons Of severe drought. It is estimated that the average yield of each tree is thirty pounds of beans.

INSANITY In A HUT.
n PITIFUL STORY OF SUFFERING
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Woman Loses Her Reason and Her Only
Son IL Thought To be Mentally I'm
balanced,

PEABODY, Mass, March IA sad story
of destitution and insanity has been
brought to light just in time to save one of
the unfortunates concerned in it from a
pitiful death.
On the Andover turnpike, situated in an
isolated spot three miles from any habita-
ton, stands little hovel with one end
partly broken in. In this miserable shanty
for the past three years has lived Frederick
Redell, young man of 35, and his mother,
SO years old
The young man has been employed as a
blacksmith at Pike & Whipple's, his earn
ings amounting TO some s. or 50 per week,
his wages being
Their Only support.
Yesterday he notified a doctor that his
mother was very sick and that for several
days he bad been attending her alone. The
case was referred To the overseer of the
poor. aud Chairman Trask and DIR. Froth-
ingham visited the place, but were refused
admission by Frederick, who would grant
no one permission to enter except the doc
tor whom he had notified The police
were called, and Chief Peasley and Officer
Sweeney gained an entrance. The poverty
ana distress, WHICH was pdlnlully dppdreHt,
was pitiful in the extreme
One old battered chair, mattress In one
corner of the room, an old rusty stove, the
covers upon the floor and the CRATE partly
rusted away from disuse, plainly showing
that no fire had been there for "A long
period; these were the only articles of fur
niture in the one room of the hut
The condition of the woman was even
worse than her son had described She Is
Almost Violently Insane
and imagines she IL surrounded by imps
ready TO rend her limb from limb and her
cries of distress and piteous pleadngs for
help were frightful TO hear. She also
magines that her son is leagued with
witches and that all the food he brings her
is infested with black cats who try to C law
her stomach out after she has eaten.
The officers took the insane woman 70
the station, wsere her son soon followed
As the young man Is very peculiar i'm his
actions. he too was locked mp, and Il il
probable that they will be committed to
Danvers asylum.
In a shed near the hut was found COW
and calf. and 1t was upon the milk from
the COW that the couple largely subsisted
upon.
The Redells came here from Lynn three
years ago and lived In the manner de-
scribed ever since, although Mrs. Redell
was perfectly sane until three weeks ago.

BosToN, March For the past six
weeks n man who was unknown to the
United States authorities until yesterday

and residing at 90 Brooks street, East
Boston.
After the officers secured sufficient evil
dence they procured n warrant, which was

1t is alleged that he has sold a quantity
OF valuable drugs that had been smuggled
from Canada, and upon which no duty had
been paid. IL is understood that number
